clickmenudie's blog post - Wank withdrawals

The withdrawals have started; in fact they come and go, but they're most present when I'm on my own. I haven't looked at porn or masturbated in almost 3 weeks. And I've had sex twice; I'm still working on my libido with my partner, and I feel better. My porn addiction (if it can be called that) is conditioned behaviour, the triggers being privacy and my capacity to procrastinate. The habit of picturing the naked bodies of most women I see was (or is) both its cause and effect, and all this compounded with my knack for repressing emotions created the perfect formula for my addiction to vicarious sex. I've been burrowing in this very enjoyable habit that has affected me in several ways. But I feel more in control now; I feel like I've scored against an addiction, and it feels good.
