Angelina i think it's bad that some men have to take refuge in pronos

Yep, absolutely. Like all addictions porn reduces people to mindless automata, endlessly repeating the same (self and life destructive) behaviours over and over again. I think the trick is to work out how to help such people and to support them as they try to help themselves.

Angelina i think there is a suitable partner for everyone and everyone deserves their own happiness

That's lovely. I agree. 🙂

        Jonas . I think the trick is to work out how to help such people and to support them as they try to help themselves.

        right, and maybe even a chastity belt will help (even if that would not be my first "form of therapy"). 😉

            Angelina When it goes too far, you have to break the feedback loop of self-pleasure somehow. 🤪

                Even voluntary wearers do it!😉

                Jonas . However, once the belt is considered secure it starts to do it's job which, for me at least, is to reframe the question from a more wilful "Why should I stop masturbating?!" to "Why should I start masturbating?".

                I think it depends on each person.

                It is pretty admitted that an ex-alcoholic can resume this addiction very quickly,even after years without drinking...

                But no need to solve it,as long as it is not excessive,in my opinion.

                            Just because I think it's right that I wear a chastity belt, doesn't mean that it doesn't drive me absolutely nuts sometimes! 😂

                                I stand by my statement, also based on experience from my circle of friends (whose parents).

                                As I said, it would not be my first "therapy method", rather the last resort.

                                      Only one drink is sufficient to be addicted and start again. An ex-alcoholic can never drink alcohol again or it starts again on the spot. I heard some alcohol in cake like Black Forest cake (Schwarzwälder Kischtorte) already trigger it.

                                          Angelina As I said, it would not be my first "therapy method", rather the last resort.

                                          Yet, when you find yourself at the last resort, you wonder to yourself, "why didn't I do this at the start?!" 😀

                                              Jonas

                                              well, i think there are much more pleasant forms and ways to control this search a little better. the belt is very restrictive and should therefore only be the last solution. 😉

                                                  Angelina As always I respect your opinion, even though I have a different view. 😃

                                                      it was clear to me that you have a different opinion and that is perfectly ok 😃

                                                        Jonas

                                                        Logical.

                                                        They were alcoholic and have resumed drinking,after their addiction were solved,without being addicted again?

                                                        Joh

                                                        It is what I've read/heard,too.

                                                                Vanessa They were alcoholic and have resumed drinking,after their addiction were solved,without being addicted again?

                                                                yes, the father of a friend of mine used to be an alcoholic. he went to therapy and didn't drink for 5 years afterwards. now he sometimes drinks one or two glasses, but in a controlled way 😉

                                                                    Angelina Really interesting to read this. It would be nice to think that in the future I might have greater control and perhaps not have to wear a full belt, but I'm sure I won't ever masturbate again.

                                                                        Jonas but I'm sure I won't ever masturbate again.

                                                                        never say never, as you can read, it can take a long time but with a lot of self control it is possible 😉

                                                                            Angelina It all depends on whether I make a promise to my wife on the subject. If I make such a promise to her, then that's it, no going back! 🙂

                                                                            Also, of course, my experience has changed me. I am against masturbation now. I don't think it's been good for me at all.

                                                                                Jonas

                                                                                well, if you have made a promise to your wife, you should of course keep it, regardless of your attitude towards masturbation. 😉

                                                                                    Angelina Yes, exactly. It's all a little unclear right now, but I think probably this year I will make this as a solemn promise to her and then that'll be the end of the matter. This is both exciting (as it's definite progress and a proper commitment on my part), but its also a little bit scary. I like masturbating. I like it a lot (obviously! 🤣 ). Unlike the gentleman who recently left the forum however, I fully accept my belt. It is a part of me. I am a better man wearing it. I'm a better husband.

                                                                                        Jonas I fully accept my belt. It is a part of me. I am a better man wearing it. I'm a better husband.

                                                                                        then the belt is definitely not a wrong decision, i just always worry when things to do with the belt are supposed to be valid for eternity.
