This may not be well received, but the only thing that helped me is thinking of every physical or virtual female was potentially my sister in Christ. The desire, urge and drive did not diminish, but my perspective on women started to change.
Late 40s here and it’s always present, the Lord knows you’re making an effort man. It’s tough when it’s all in your face anywhere you go, literally. Stay strong.
Boogie the devil wants us ashamed. Be merciful to yourself. Do your best and ask God for forgiveness each day and you just pick yourself up and keep it moving playuh
You are not alone. You are wonderful. You've a good heart and mind. Compassion is the shame-buster. You're smart and strong, you'll be OK. Trust your intuition. The internet is the new drug.
Bless you for fighting the good fight. List is a monster that wants to eat you alive it will be happy to pretend to be tame till one day it kills your marriage and ruins the influence you have with your kids. I’ve ministers to too many guys who chose to not fight the monster when it was small and they shipwrecked their life. Lust is an enemy to be killed not a project to be managed. I’m can tell you- it’s worth the fight. You future wife and kids say “thank you.” I say thank you for the hilarious videos and your vulnerability. I’m praying for you right now. I pray for strength, perseverance and deliverance to you. Peace be multiplied to you.
What you are going through is completely normal. You are realizing the things you need and don’t need to live a happy life. Stay focused on doing good things. That will bring you happiness. Clean the pipes every once in a while to prevent prostate issues. That’s normal and that brings happiness also.😊
Boogie, at 25 I was like Baskin & Robbin’s 31 flavors monthly. At 54 no more sweets except for the special occasions. Enjoy while you can or else when you’re older you will be like Eddie Murphy Raw “you ain’t got no ice cream” memories. But great to achieve everything you mentioned, that comes first. Home, financial security, good quality friends, lots of fun and a partner you want to spend the rest of your life with… and a dog. You’re a good young man with a successful future ahead of you. Thanks for being honest and true.
It's a genetic mandate. ESPECIALLY in your 20s. Give in to nature. Enjoy your life. But use discretion and some form of fair judgement. Like anything, take it as far as you can (and enjoy) but be responsible. -from a 52yo.
Yes that’s normal, you’ll be fine. Just be a good person and enjoy life. If you respect yourself and respect the women you’re attracted to there’s nothing wrong with anything. And yeah, sex sells so you’re going to see it everywhere, that’s the world we live in.
Its a stage man, congrats on overcoming but enjoy the time too if your not having addiction problems cuz there will come a time when it wont be a thing
Young or old, “monk mode” maybe the way to go for all single men in these over the top challenging times. No political ad about it. Reading, go to the gym when and how you can, save for a 10K to 25K emergency fund, then invest in a Roth IRA in a mutual/index fund. Invest now and safely because the longer you’re in the market and paying into it on a bi-weekly or monthly basis the better. Also, use your imagination. It doesn’t have to come entirely from the internet or social media. You don’t necessarily need to date, or have romantic relationships to lead a full life as long as you are personally okay with it, but be able to communicate what you need and what you don’t want in your life if you do. Do life honest, do it with integrity, legally, with an understanding, thinking with your mind and not something else, peace and love and hopefully we just won’t be another statistic.
Ngl I’ve got a 24 year old and he asked me to stop calling it his revolving door of hooooors, his fault though he should’ve announced I was on speaker phone
At your age with brain chemistry and testosterone you are very sexually activated. Just trust in God and be merciful to yourself. One love boogie I'm here for you brother
Pardon the pun, but you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. What you're dealing with is normal. Especially after going cold turkey on so many things, your whole body is extra sensitive and craving, craving, CRAVING! And there's nothing wrong with that, to a point. A healthy sexual expression is good to have. But you can't treat it like an affliction. It's a part of who you are as a person. Everyone is different despite our similarities. Yes, especially as a young man in your mid-20s, it lives in every corner of your brain. It's there. And with the easy access to content to scratch that itch, it's easy to go too far. The key word we need is moderation. If you catch yourself going too deep, pull back a bit. But don't OVER compensate by going an extreme 180. The ☯️ symbol is the perfect analogy. The dark side has a bit of light. The light side has a bit of darkness. And you need both to survive. We are human, and we can't be perfect because of that. All we can do is our best. Cut yourself some slack. Enjoy some personal time from time to time. Just don't let it become an obsession or an addiction. That's the hard part.
I’m 47 and to be honest I’m thinking about sex all the time, brother. It’s just when you get older you learn how to control it and rein it in a little bit better. Best thing to do is get you a good woman who loves to get down and problem solved.
Yes. You are young and it's totally normal. Find a girl you can spend time with. You'll find that partner eventually. Celibate? Sure but it's a bit unnatural.
Yes it is supposed to be hard-wired into our DNA to procreate. We are monogamous by choice, not nature. Remember that most things are ok in moderation, including sex-drive. Learn to live with empathy and gratitude and you'll be ok. Don't worry, you'll feel better by your 50s or 60s. Now go smack it around before you hurt yourself or someone else lol.
I'm a dude that'll be 40 in a month. I'm gonna be honest with you. No two people feel the exact same way and thats what's normal. You are obviously genuine almost to a fault and appear to be legit well-intentioned. From what you said it seems like you have some heavy personal influences that are very judgmental and you've really internalized it. its apparent in the language you use which indicative of an unhealthy framework for viewing sexuality. I promised honesty so as an observation free of judgment you also seem to be particularly impressionable and unfortunately that's an unfortunate combination. Be kind to yourself
Healthy sex life os part of being happy find a expert who has written a book and read it down by go by comments most people have a 3 rd grade education 🙏

Late 40s here and it’s always present, the Lord knows you’re making an effort man. It’s tough when it’s all in your face anywhere you go, literally. Stay strong.
Hearing all of this, you seems a healthy young man. It's just testosterone. Nothing wrong with you.
You’re healthy, normal, and in the prime of your life. Go get it before it’s gone.
Yeah, man, that's normal, ESPECIALLY at 25. Just be mindful who you share that part with.
As a 52 year old, my advice to you is to enjoy it while you still can.
I'm 54 and it's never changed for me.
That’s crazy

very very normal young man. you have a great attitude. you will find a nice young lady that respects you and your values...let them come to you man.
You need to react to the classic hip hop song Passin’ Me By from The Pharcyde for advice on this topic ❤

You are so enjoyable, very refreshing.
I appreciate that
Use it or lose it bro!
Also get your hormone panel so you have a baseline for later on when things slow done to a crawl.
Someone get this man a girl.

You’re just a regular young dude feeling like we all did at your age. . Ll Cool proves it on his song big ol’ Butt could you react to the video!
