I am a 33 year old male that can not stop thinking about sex or performing it by my own hand with the help of porn. I am married and enjoy the intimacy with my wife, but it seems not to be enough. Sometimes It just feels easier to do it by myself than with her. I have masterbated since I was five years old. I saw porn for the first time at my dads place when I was about 10. Phone sex started at 18 and ended when I was 26 at the "recomendation" of my wife. At 28 I found the internet. I'm getting better with the internet issue but I still relapse and I am afraid It will one day bite me if I can not stay off it permanently. I'm disgusted with myself after reading a perversed story of sex knowing I was aroused by the material. I do not know how to stop doing these things. Its like a perverted cycle that I don't know how to break. All I want now is a way to stop so I can finally feel normal. Right now I am tired of my self induced torment and need to do something to get rid of it.
