@ianfontinell-0 I hear yah. It's definitely not an addiction. Hell, I've been masturbating daily since age 14. I'm going to turn 35 in November. It can't be an addiction. It's something that's ingrain in me.
When I feel like it, I masturbate. It's like second nature at this point. The thing is, I don't even need to think about it that much. It comes naturally. When I worked it was upon waking up and going to bed.
But now that I have more time, I've been working at making my sexual solo life as a much more embracing experience. The sex toy I bought myself greatly upped my daily fun and I have more time to read about it all.
And you're right. Sex with partners can be expensive. I prefer to do it on my own. I haven't touched a guy in years. I missed it at first, especially considering that my Late Fiancé Hawthorne and I had sex five times a night and it had been that way for thirteen years. So of course it took me a while to get used to solo sex.
But it's still a great way to live. I can truly embrace my sexuality.
