Been using this app to help me quit porn and I wondered - for the sake of my sex life (not lasting incredibly short in bed) is there anything unhealthy to jerking off without any form of porn or stimulus and just with your imagination (the “old fashioned way” if you will) or should I be going cold turkey with that also?? (And for reference I mean like once / twice a week not twice everyday for example ) Thanks!
Consider the necessity of sex in your life and it will revolutionize your approach. Your desire to perform, in some sense, twists the sacrament of sex away from its operating principle. We don’t need it and we don’t need to be good about it. We’ve been imbued with the power to make life by the ultimate Source of Life, God the Father. That is a truly beautiful thing.
Try not to overcomplicate it, that’s the worse thing you can do and make everything a rule in your own mind will just make your progress untrackable, recognize ur triggers and also try to focus on building human relationships and not be reliant on porn or ur imagination and focus on reality nothing wrong with imagination but think about when ur with a female or partner or whatever why would you need your imagination or porn if you’re in living and enjoying the moment with the person you’re connecting with.
Thanks man
There’s going to be a couple of opinions on this one! I am agnostic so my viewpoint is a little different than someone who might be religious. Masturbation is natural and it can be ok for you! But for some people, masturbation will lead them back into porn or could cause another addiction. I masturbate still and here is what I do - I journal everytime I masturbate and I write down what I thought about, how I currently am feeling, and also WHY I masturbated. These questions can really help you understand yourself better and can you create healthy habits for yourself, but remember - if you journal, don’t lie to yourself, always be honest. Porn cause the ED, excessive masturbation will cause ED. Casual masturbation will not.

I got married and had three beautiful children and holding them will hands down always feel better and more memorable than any time I ever got in bed with someone. I’ve come to realize that the more I’ve tried to get away from the drug that is pornography. Putting yourself in a position where you feel you need to perform pulls away from the beauty of the act and most likely means you’re either with the wrong person, or you have the wrong expectation ultimately guiding you back into the porn trap.
