Hello my name is Chris. I masturbated multiple times a day for a period of probably around 6 years. Recently Ive stopped completely and have gone over a week without masturbating. the reason i stopped was because my porn addiction caused me to seek out crazier and more bizarre things. I watched a lot of transwoman porn to begin with then escalated to gay porn. Thats when i developed a porn induced mild version of HOCD. So thats why I stopped. My main question is, should i masturbate at all? i have all this pent up sexual tension but i feel like if i masturbate ill get depressed or feel ashamed for not waiting long enough. While rebooting is masturbation completely off the table?, or should i only do it once or twice a week? Can i masturbate just not watch porn?
