What’s happening to me?? (Please read? TMI)
I deleted the app since I couldn’t delete my account (posting my problems on here can be exhausting) but I’m back now cause all I want is advice/someone to tell me what’s really going on. Is that so wrong? It’s not like I’m gonna get anymore worse than I am now if someone just talks to me. So here’s the TMI/18+ stuff: do I have an addiction to porn or am I compulsively masturbating? For the last year and a half of this happening to me the biggest aspect that affects me the most is when these “thoughts” invade my mind when I try to masturbate and watch porn. And unfortunately, there’s times when it feels like I’m *enjoying* it. What’s 10x worse is when it appears when I’m finishing, so then it feels like I intentionally climaxed to something unspeakably terrible. When it first started it was just names, then it became faces, and then just straight up images. Now it’s something indescribably horrific. It’s like the more worse I perceive these things, the more they’re stuck in my mind. And to be clear, I watch mostly normal gay porn, but there have been moments when I’ve watched things I started to question in the past. I’ve read and heard about people with porn addictions needing more extreme things to get off to, so what if this is just it? Am I somehow subconsciously thinking these things so that I can fully enjoy masturbating? If so, how do I go back to before when I could enjoy what I used to? But it also feels like it’s not a porn addiction, it feels more like compulsive masturbating or something cause I don’t personally believe I view porn THAT often yk? But it gets even more confusing cause if it is compulsory, why are the thoughts so present during it? Make it make sense? There’s been this image I have engraved into my mind from something I saw on twitter months ago and the fact it’s based on something REAL fucks me up more. I haven’t really touched myself in days, but I know eventually I’m gonna end up doing it again, I just want to enjoy myself without it being there. I’m already having moments when I feel “pent up” but the image is still there so why would I feel that way? Why can’t the things I’m supposed to like show up? Is it something I actually want? Do I really like this and just not allowing myself to? How am I supposed to work through this when it feels impossible to?
