Day 25: Feel Like a Teenager Again

I’ve been abstaining from masturbation as well as pornography. For me, they’re connected and masturbation will lead to relapse. With kids in the house it’s difficult for my wife and I to find time to squeeze in a session. Before quitting porn, I use to cum at least every other day. Today, it’s been almost two weeks since I expelled last. I feel like I’m 15 years old again (35 yr old now). Random boners popping up, blue balls and I just want my wife. The positive is I am desiring my wife more and more. It’s been great for our relationship, but the obvious consequences are tough, because she is not always available. Have anyone experienced these physical side affects before? Does it get better? Do I need to take an ice bath??! (That’s a joke).

Bro it’s a struggle I have such a high libido and we have two kids. I’m 38 she’s 37. Her libido just isn’t there anymore, I’m lucky if she’s in the mood 2 or 3 times a month. But she’s such a good and loving wife that I’m truly lucky. I used to cheat reckless at times because we live in a society where a lot of people just think this is ok. I’m glad I no longer do that or want to. Are we allowed to get happy endings from masseuses? Sometimes I’ll do good for like a week but I just relapse with porn. It’s hard. But I pray non stop

Basically you feel some serious withdrawals in the beginning as it’s been a long time addiction. But give it time and your brain will adjust. Then the side effects will lessen 👌

Respectfully lucas waiting a week or month for sex from your wife is insane. Its a need that us men have and lack of sex is a high likelihood of cheating.

These messages are impactful and encouraging. Been tired of making excuses to “take care of myself”. This is encouraging and I know my wife cares and wants what’s best for both of us.

Definitely agree with Lucas - communication and creativity can lead to very exciting and fulfilling connection

Bro, I’ve been married for 5 years. No kids. But I experience the same thing. All the time. You’re doing the right thing bro and nobody who’s gone through will tell you it’s easy. But of course it gets better that’s why we’re trying to quit in the first place right? I’ve found that letting her know “hey I’m barely hanging on here”, in a polite way, leads to her wanting to help me out. And you have to be okay with not going all the way. If you were gonna fap, maybe she can do it for you? I know that’s pretty personal but it’s worked for me, it’ll at least give me a release and a push for both my wife and I to wait until the end of the week (or month sometimes😭) but shes on your team. Don’t forget that. I don’t know what it’s like to have kids yet but I’m sure you guys can work together on it. Just gotta be intentional with it.
