    Hi everyone,
    I am 41 y.o. and have been masturbating ever since the age of 12.
    Still happily married to the woman of my life, although I realise that her body no longer turns me on.
    Until recently, I never thought that masturbation was an issue.
    I remember doing it up to 6 or 7 times a day on a regular basis in my high-school years. At college, a bit less, but as soon as I had to sit down and study, I had to do it: watch porn and jerk off.
    I still do, once or twice a day.
    Looking forward to get rid of my addiction with your help.
    Rgds,
    CyclopeEnDeuil

    Hi OuterCircleGuy,
    Well, I never thought I had an issue with masturbation, until I quit my job, to start my own business and hang around, alone in my own office. PMO urge occurs each time I need to focus and I can PMO all day. By the way, and I am not sure if masturbation per se is an issue but PMO is for sure. Is masturbation an issue for you?
    I am determined to get rid of my addiction in order to become more efficient in my job, which is not the case right now.
    A year ago I even took meditation classes, which turned out to be ineffective. But that was before I realized that I might have a PMO issue. Now I guess I need to start meditating again.

    Masturbation has never been an issue for me because I seldom did it. But it was an issue for my partner cause it seemed that many times he wanted to make out and I could not perform cause I had wanked off that morning. When he figured out that I had done that he would state that I prefer my hand over him.

    But then PMO became an issue for me because I was doing it more often and while at work. Tons of consequences like having corporate IT dept knowing what I was doing, unmet deadlines, etc.

    That's why I am here.

    Wow, that's a kind of issue with severe consequences. I can only imagine what you have been through. You seem to be doing better, don't you?
    My wife thinks we men all masturbate and never blamed me for it. Although I guess that my desire for her vanished. Now that I no longer PMO, we are getting closer again, which is a first positive outcome.
