Got caught by my GF

I’ve had it for 11 years and I’m 22. Understand that your girl is willing to stand by you. Don’t let that go to waste cause as a guy your age in a similar position, I lost the girl that I thought I would end up with for good.

I don’t know what my triggers are? I don’t necessarily masturbate out of pleasure, I do it out of boredom, sadness, or routine.

Casper, I hope you try therapy, it helped me a lot. I discovered what the triggers were and went deeper into why I feel the way I do with pornography. I believe in you, you got this!!

I mean instead of watching porn you could record some spicy pics or vids of your girlfriend and watch that when you have urges and ask your girlfriend to say something encouraging but also something sexy. Example- “Hey babe I know it’s hard to hold yourself back but remember what waits for you if you can wait till you’re with me”. Plus go on a diet don’t eat for breakfast and lunch. Trust me if all you’re thinking of is about eating but stopping yourself from doing it then you will not think of pornography.

I’ve had this addiction for damn near 11 years man, started since I was around 10. Don’t lose hope! I relapsed just now unfortunately myself, and I feel angry, sad, the whole 9 yards. Don’t let it get you down. Pick yourself back up and stay in the fight. I believe that attitude is everything in this battle, and if you exemplify good qualities of human kindness and decency, you’ll conquer this addiction for sure. Stay positive, try harder to do better and even if you get just 1 hour more on the clock since you last relapsed, take that as progress and push the fight. God bless my friend.

I also think it’s great you have a supportive partner in this.

Have you discussed with her your triggers?
