Go figure, my wife and I are having sex now…

Didn’t stop my porn addiction obviously since I’m here at 33 years old but it was a critical first step.

And a REAL big deal - Until right before I turned 22, I was completely insatiable - I frequently masturbated 3-5 times a day sometimes 10-11 times since I was 12. I flirted with anything that stood on two legs and had a vagina and felt doomed to cheat. There were times I edged for as long as 11 hours straight without even taking breaks for food, water, or the bathroom, and my dick would be purple and swollen for days. I begged people for help all through high school but somehow people thought I wasn’t behaving abnormally. Back to right before my 22nd birthday, I went to a psychiatrist (a medical doctor/physician, not a nurse or nurse practitioner) for the first time. I don’t want to create any hypochondria here so I won’t disclose my diagnosis here, but it’s absolutely insane - Turns out I have a serious disability and he started me on medication that changed my life LITERALLY OVERNIGHT. I could suddenly go a few days at a time without orgasms and stopped cheating without any change in effort or mindset.

I aim for in-person every time but sometimes we do virtual sessions. He’s a licensed psychologist with a lot of experience in addiction and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). There have been times where he’s told me he thinks masturbating altogether is hurting my mental health and I need to quit for a while, and there’s times he’s said he’s not as worried about it, but porn has been a constant no-no and until this app (I actually use more than one the other is Brainbuddy) I’ve been good for a few weeks to a month but constantly thinking of relapsing because I didn’t have a support group (and believe me I looked for one).

Congratulations mate this is inspiring

You going to an in person therapist or something online?? Interested in starting that journey.
