My experience with addiction to porn and masturbation has been a complex journey. Initially, it felt like a source of escape and pleasure, providing instant gratification during times of stress or boredom. However, over time, I started to notice some negative consequences. It affected my relationships, led to unrealistic expectations, and contributed to feelings of shame and guilt.
I found myself spending more time than I intended, which interfered with other aspects of my life, such as work and social interactions. The cycle of temporary relief followed by guilt became exhausting, prompting me to seek help and make changes.
Through therapy and support groups, I’ve learned healthier coping mechanisms and developed a better understanding of my triggers. It’s been a challenging process, but with time and effort, I’ve managed to regain a healthier relationship with my sexuality and focus on more fulfilling activities. It’s a work in progress, but I’m hopeful about the future.
