Masturbating, porn and apps
For some people their time using chems is spent masturbating, watching porn or endlessly scrolling through hook-up apps, not realising how much time is passing or knowing how to stop.
Tips to better manage this
Stop avoiding the comedown – this will only result in a worse comedown and tiredness. Drink plenty of fluids and eat something. This will get your body into a more restful state.
Set yourself a time limit – if you are still horny after chemsex and want to masturbate, try to set yourself a realistic time to stop (maybe set an alarm). If you can’t get hard or cum then it’s probably better to accept that you might not be able to and get some rest.
It might not happen – whether it’s hunting for the next hook-up or trying to find the perfect porn video, sometimes we just have to accept that it might not happen at this time.
Plan what’s next – the first moment you decide to stop is often the most difficult one, so it’s good to make a plan for what comes next. This could be having a shower, watching TV or cleaning your home. Once you have moved into this new phase, you should notice how much easier it feels to move forward.
Be aware that compulsive masturbation can result in physical harms, especially when mixing erectile dysfunction meds with chems. Find out more about Priapism or long lasting erections.
