It's been a bit of a struggle, especially last night. But I found snapping my arm with a rubber band helps take my mind off the urge. I feel good though, a bit of clarity has returned not having to obsess over what my next get off urge will be and spending time hunting for harder and harder porn. I'll update tomorrow!

        Non-detailed talk of masturbation

        While it definitely varies from person to person there's definitely a "too much" for jerking it. You can feel it, especially when your old go-to fantasies do nothing or you need to spend half an hour just trying to get actually aroused. Depending on what you're jerking to, jerking might make your mental health worse too. Refraining from jerking for a bit gives you time to reflect, especially if you were jerking to cover up emotions.

        Congrats to Soros Foot Soldier, it's not easy task to defeat addiction.
