"As a teenager in the '60s, I was part of a generation who considered masturbation and pornography to be totally harmless. Today, it can put any kind of defect, except harmless.
During my last relationship, I woke up at five o'clock, went down and masturbated for hours. My partner must have known at a glance, but she spoke a word, though the sex between us had been too slow. She wanted sex but I did not excite me; I was too engaged with other women online. Even when the relationship failed, I did not want to see my excessive masturbation as the root of the problem.
When we parted, I was free to masturbate whenever I wanted and thus, pornography began to dominate my life. I noticed that I did not like it before, but I did not stop first. Over time, I had to spend hours watching porn to stimulate enough time to get into orgasm. If the dependence was characterized by insensitivity to the subject, I was addicted to pornography.
As a result, I realized my problem and discovered a number of online pages that helped people like my job. Now I realize that pornography is a massive industry and, besides exploiting the performers, creates a subordinate user base.
Now I have given up on masturbation and I have a new partner who worships the fact that it is my attention center. Sleep better. I'm sorry that it took me so long to come here. "
