What has been tempting for him is sex. He hasn't been masturbating, so he's got a lot of pent up sexual energy. So the other night we tried something called "karezza", known to some as gentle intercourse or intercourse without orgasm. Basically, there's insertion, and then you sit there not moving too much. If you feel like you're getting close to orgasm, you stop altogether. It worked pretty well, I think. It was really different for sure. But it was relaxing and there was absolutely no pressure which was nice. I think that the goal is to create an intimate bond without seeking your own gratification, which is a big part of recovering from porn addiction. Rather than staring at people on a screen with the goal of climaxing, you are creating an intimate bond with the person right there with you.
It is going better now than it had the past few days. I don't feel as stressed out about it and he seems happy without the porn. It's not like he's having serious withdrawals, which I take as a good sign. So far, so good.
