The hidden evil of masturbation

I think i just realized something. I think the reason i want to masturbate isn’t because it feels so good. I mean sure it feels good. But the very moment I release, the feeling is gone. And almost immediately. A feeling of shame and emptiness is what I’m left with. I think the real reason I want to masturbate is because during that time, my mind is completely fixated on masturbating. I’m not thinking about my past or my future. I’m not stressing about what’s going wrong in life. It feels like an escape. It feels like an escape from life. And that’s what I want to learn how to do. Not run away from my thoughts. I wanna learn to deal with them instead of running to masturbation to escape them. .

Well said bro. The main reason I was turning to this addiction was because I wasn’t facing the realities of life. Now that we’re aware of it, we have to address the parts of ourselves that we’ve been neglecting to confront.

That’s pretty eye opening stuff, my goal with this is to find something that gets me as fixated as I usually am with masturbation. The hard part about it is that I don’t know what that thing is and so I bounce around from thing to thing never finding it
