Day 25 Without Pornography

My sex drive is erratic. Some days I have no desire for pornography and other days it's barely containable.

Quitting pornography for me is about managing all aspects of my life. Stress is a leading cause of my desire for pornography and managing stress means I have to look at everything that's going on.

Am I over-working, am I having relationship problems, am I sick, am I arguing with someone, am I failing at something? These are all things that can happen on a day to day basis which can make me want to retreat to using pornography.

Another important issue is masturbation. Some people who visit this blog have religions that forbid masturbation. I'm not someone who believes masturbation is forbidden. From my own experiences masturbation relaxes and calms while at the same time lowers my ambition and my interest in achieving goals.

My sex drive is linked to my drive to succeed. The higher my sex drive, the higher my desire to achieve great things. However, when my sex drive gets too high, I get too emotional and strung out. I become attached to accomplishing achievements and begin to get frustrated and angry. Eventually I burn out and seek escape through masturbation. Then I go back to feeling calm and uninterested until the cycle begins again.

The best place to be is in the middle. The only way to get to that moderate level is to masturbate occasionally.

This is how my mind and body works and it may not be the same for everyone.
