Hi beautiful amazing people!
I'm Tomi from Slovenia, Europe and I'm a new member here. During my current relationship I found out I'm addicted to pornography and since then me and my partner are dealing with it. In 3 years I had few (2 or 3) major slip-ups when I watched porn and masturbate otherwise I was keeping myself away from watching. During this period I didn't have any accountability partner for support which made things more challenging. Today is more than 10 months since my last major scene and I just finished reading Your brain on porn what motivated me to search support online. So here I am 8)
More than 6 months ago I started working on my issue on a deeper level as I joined a two month program with a mentor, started to attend psychotherapist and men's group once a week. Consequently I have less cravings and I feel more stable but for some time now I'm often distracted by real women's curves. That makes me feel even more guilty as watching porn as I rarely had this kind of distraction when I was single (I was even condemning it). Another thing is that I'm feeling less attraction to my beloved and I'm struggling to take charge in bed. Both is a huge frustration for me and I'm feeling really scared.
Did anyone experience the same or similar shifts? I'll be immensely grateful for any information or suggestion...
Much love to all of you
