I was a heroin addict and only jerked off like once a month for years (i.e. whenever I could get my hands on a couple adderall, i’d get my hands on something else). Now i’m clean and exercising and gaining weight and trying to be a human again, and I kinda started jerking off a bit more and I’ve realized just like with eating — the more I eat the more I feel the need to eat— the more I jerk it the more I find myself wanting to jerk it. Now I feel I’ve opened a degenerate can of worms.
I kind of liked not being a slave to my monke brain… except then I was a slave to my junke brain. Someone just teach me how to live.
Less serious vices >>>>>> serious vices. You're not hurting anyone. If you really want help I'd suggest professional addiction therapists or something
Imo it's not a problem unless it routinely gets in the way of your goals or lifestyle.
