Communication

I had this in the over 40 section but thought I would move it here.  I have seen in several posts that isolation and not being able to communicate with others has helped set up the pattern of porn use. 

This also offered some insight in how the two people in a relationship communicate and what they may truly need.  I put this in the 40 up section.  It is about Hold Me Tight the book.  This book is about our need for attachment and how our culture has taught us to not be dependent on others.  And we need some dependence in order to connect with our partners.  I thought it reflected the disconnection that occurs that I frequently read about in posts and shows how both partners fall into this pattern of communication that does not give them what they need.

Thanks Gracie,

I harp on with the men of RN and YBR like a broken record about the value of hugging, hand holding, kissing and gentle touch to both a relationship and pmo recovery.

I missed out on this for so many years with my wonderful wife. I never felt like hugging and physical bonding with her unless it involved sex.

Learning!
