I am in a new relationship, and I love my new girlfriend. There is one thing, though.
I love her so much and I care for her a lot. The problem is, I have struggled with a major masturbation addiction since the beginning of quarantine. I did not realize how messed up it was until the past two weeks, and since then I have been wanting to better myself as I feel disgusted lusting over other women. I am now trying to rid myself of this addiction, do you all have any tips? It would be greatly appreciated.
I think the best way is just to try and hang out with her more often? It might distract you from doing it temporarily until it goes away, or maybe, if she’s ready, then she might end up helping you with it.
@xyrielle I haven't been able to hang out with anyone due to covid, but I am getting vaccinated soon and we plan to go on our first date within a week or two. Hopefully things get better then, but I feel a lot better now as I have been abstaining from masturbating for a while.
I'm in the same boat as you to be honest, and I know this probably isn't going to help you but what I would do is stop thinking of it as an "addiction". Masturbation is a perfectly healthy thing to do.
If you're worried about "cheating" on your gf with the other women that you masturbate to, try to masturbate to thoughts of her. It sounds creepy when I type it out, but hopefully you get what I mean? Think of her when you do it.
