So stressed about work

I have been mostly diligent about only masterbating with lube and a loose grip for the last few weeks to resensitize myself away from the DEATH GRIP. However, today I have been so stressed about my job and money worries that I was unable to resist and returned to my old ways. I just wanted to feel relief and sometimes I even find the post nut neutral feeling easier than my anxiety. I know there are other ways to help calm down, but I just couldn’t today. I feel like this may have set me back but I’ll get back on the horse and keep trying. And maybe do yoga next time lol. However, all this made me remember why I developed my existing sexual habits: when I was growing up and until very recently, partnered sex was almost never an option. I was also under a lot of stress. This made me feel that there was no reason to delay gratification or try new pleasure styles. I have only been living away from my parents very briefly and I feel like I’m just starting to have hope for the future, which makes want to adjust towards partnered sex. It turns out people are way more attracted to me than I thought, maybe excessive Internet use, including porn, were taking all my dopamine and leaving nothing to help me notice and enjoy interactions with others. Anyway, I’m very glad I gave this app a second try.

I feel ya man!!
My 24 yr marriage imploded and I have ped pretty bad. Now what??:flushed:
I ended up here and realized I had an unhealthy relationship with porn, was too familiar with my own hand and also had PED…
I’ve all but given up porn and solo… also started using Woo Coconut oil lube when I do go solo… I’ve seen a change for the better!
Good luck!!
