News of Sexual Disorders

I'm not happy with how my life has turned out with my porn and masturbation addiction having a hold on my life for so long.

I'm an adult and I'm convinced that I'm suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder along with an addiction that I know is clearly messing up my life. I've had problems with porn and masturbation for almost my entire life after childhood. Over the years it has gotten worse and worse and ...

Hello everyone,

Trigger warning: discussing gender sensitive topic.

I'm about to share some things that may help some of you that struggle with being trans or the idea of possibly being trans.

It's very simple: Experiencing gender dysphoria is not the same as being transgender!

That's the message, below I'll elaborate.

What do I mean?
Essentially, I see a lot of cases in which someone experiences gender dysphoria and immediately assume they are transgender; they ...

For so many years, I've been dealing with problems with my addiction from pornography and masturbation. I have so much shame and regret from it and so much bad things came out of it ever since I was a high schooler. It's been quite some time since I've watched pornography and I'm happy about that, but masturbation is still a problem for me.

One day, I masturbated but felt impulses to escalate the way I ...

So, I belong to a pretty strict religion that classifies porn and masturbation as serious offenses.

I became sexually active at age 17. I'm now 50. I was picked up by a cougar in her early 30s, and we spent the next 3 months going for it pretty much every day as we were both up for sex all the time. Anyway, she was pretty demanding in bed, and she transmitted the attitude to me ...

I have a theory that is shared by other writers / articles I've come across on internet, though my spin might be a bit unique, also not all that different. Wanted to know if it resonates with anyone else:

We humans are all hermaphrodites, not male or female We are Yin Yang, we have a male half and a female half. When we are born, one half becomes our physical body, the other half becomes ...

Do sexual abuse survivors sometimes re-create their trauma? My wife and I got into a huge fight today. My wife's brother stayed with us for a few weeks and one morning, he got up way earlier than expected and came upstairs while my wife was making coffee. She was wearing shorts and a tank top because she wasn't expecting anyone to be awake. She was really upset by this. Fast forward to today. I came ...

I'm going to start this off by saying I know this may fall under paraphilias and the paraphilia forum is closed, but I desperately need to talk to someone about this and I haven't even approached a therapist about it yet since I don't even know where I would begin. So please read, I'm sorry mods if it's against the rules now but I don't know where else to go. I also understand if you ...

Ok. I have an issue that did not only already ruin my reputation but also could make me end up in danger. I don't know why, but m*sturbation has become an issue. It wasn't an issue before. The last 3 days I basically did nothing but that out of compulsion. I neglected my health, my mental well being and obligations. What really scares me is that I think I'm developing some kind of perversion that ...

I'm a recovering sex addict who's used porn regularly for decades. I've seen therapists, I'm in groups, and I've talked to coaches, but I have some questions I want to put out to a broader audience.

I am battling objectification of women and teens. I can't see a female without instantly, compulsively focusing on their body parts. If I see a female in my peripheral, I'm drawn to look at them. I'm aware of the ...

I think I’m addicted to kinky porn. I can watch for weeks and months but every so often masturbating to this sort of pornography makes me feel sick bad and perverse. This is only 18+ and consensual porn but makes me feel pretty awful afterwards sometimes. It even can take me days to get over. Please help
