I’m going to be allowing myself one Masturbation a day, right before sleeping, we will see how this goes. This comes from a guy who sometimes 10 times a day is simply not enough, I’ve learned over time of course that my masturbation tends to stem from my anxiety and my body uses it as a way to try and soothe, true for all of us. I’ve identified my anxiety as primarily coming from not my current situations, but in fact how I am responding to the situations. If I procrastinate in the face of adversity my anxiety skyrockets, conversely if I take action on the matter and work to resolve it, I feel little to no anxiety. I would be curious if this is true for anyone else as well. Once a day will be allowed for me, before sleep as falling asleep can be a friction point for me, I will set my timer for 30 minutes and the race is on! It’s not uncommon in the past for me to do this before sleep, but take 3 hours just to get off, only to fall asleep, wake up the next hour and almost habitually go another round for hours, to sleep at the time I should instead be waking up. So once a day, no shame, I will allow myself to watch porn to assist, I would like to work off the porn eventually and start to use my imagination. I should say I’m not a habitual watcher of porn, I use it only when it comes to getting off. Currently my daily average for masturbation is about 5 times a day. I take stabs at combatting my masturbation problem from time to time. I say it’s a problem because with each finish, I notice a far degraded performance in executing tasks, quite literally me becoming dummer and dummer and more scatterbrained throughout the day. 3 times in one day is rough, 5 times and I’m in full 100% autopilot, fully relying on my habitual instincts to carry the evening.
