Need help please

Did you used to become aroused by mental stimulation? i.e.... was there ever a time in your life when you became aroused just by watching a movie or something?

Second.... your brain is trying to trick you into masturbating. Your brain is still addicted to the hit of dopamine. It is like an alcoholic saying "I will only drink beer, but not rum"..... it wouldn't be long before he was back into the rum.

We would you want to masturbate at all? It's still fake sex. Keep healing so you can have sex with real women.

Good luck

 

You could ask those who has started fapping after a long streak. I am sure there are people somewhere on this forum who have done that. Btw 2 times per week might be excess.

 

Think back to the last time you masturbated. Really think about it. Was it enjoyable? maybe, but not nearly what you are imaging it will be. Masturbation just isn't worth it. I agree that your brain is just trying to get that dopamine hit again. I would really suggest just leaving it alone. Stop testing yourself and edging (which is masturbating) stop telling yourself that you just want a little bit. You know that's not how addiction works. Masturbation is still addicting and still fake sex. You're better than that.

 

You may not be interested in hearing this, but as a veteran relapser, I can tell you when you start to look at pictures/videos/touch yourself/allow lust into your life, even in thoughts, you start yourself down the road to failure. Avoid these triggers always. If you find yourself starting, get up and leave the room. As soon as you feel an urge, just go do something to distract yourself before it gains strength. It's tempting to allow them since they are enjoyable, but they will soon lead to much more suffering then they do pleasure.
Some people say they have success moderating how often they masturbate, at least in the short term, but other will tell you how they tried it and ended up deeply tangled in addiction again. Take time to consider that before you return to something you fought so hard to escape.
