More evidence for binge mechanism
Comment: We consider addiction to Internet porn to be an expected result of what we labeled the “binge-trigger mechanism.” That is, mammalian brains are designed to override normal satiation mechanisms when faced with a food or sex bonanza (dense calories and willing mates with good genes). Research continues to provide more evidence for this theory.

[End of week 4] After getting enough information about porn addiction, I just took a leap of faith to jump start rebooting – I did, however, decide to go into this with the following attitudes which I’ve been constantly trying to remind myself of:
1. It’s supposed to be a non-linear, challenging process

[Three weeks] My self-image, never low, is becoming borderline self-admiration, and I’ve noticed that happening before. My body is hardening, stomach muscles are showing again, without exercise, even after living off of holiday desserts since Christmas. I’ve been drawn strongly to images and thoughts of nude women, or just women in general, looking at pretty […]

Anxiety often plays a part in copulatory ED. How can one know how much is porn-related and how much is anxiety? If you have a strong erection when masturbating without porn or porn fantasy, and with normal speed and pressure, then anxiety is probably the cause. However, it’s not uncommon for men to have ED […]

After 125 days of total abstinence, last night I had great sex and a lot of it – with my new girlfriend. This is shaping up to be a monogamous relationship, I have totally fallen for the girl.

I began this period of celibacy after several attempts in the past, one of which spanned over 23 days. This time, more than ever, I feel that I have the determination and […]

COMMENTS: This study clearly shows that those with Internet addiction develop brain abnormalities that parallel those found in substance abusers. Researchers found a 10-20% reduction in frontal cortex gray matter in adolescents with Internet addiction. Hypofrontality is the common term for this change in brain structure. It is a key marker for all addiction processes. If this can happen with Internet addiction, what occurs when Internet porn is added to the mix?

Today’s ejaculation advice may be wrong for our species For the last half-century, Western sexologists have advised men to ejaculate as frequently as the urge arises, on a par with nose-blowing. At the same time, doctors assure guys that there’s no risk of excessive ejaculation because they’ll stop when they’ve had enough. But what if […]
