Thanks for the feedback, yogamouse. I know it is a complicated combination for me of internal shame relating to sex and something, definitely something, with my brain chemistry. The reason I say this is because it (the anxiety, the depression) happens after the orgasm, not before. I would say it more often happens during masturbation for me, and, I agree with you, it has to do with feeling lonely after the orgasm. For me also, lately, I've been trying to reconnect to God through Christianity, and, in that sense, there have been times when I have used pornography to masturbate, and it is bringing up feelings of guilt, shame--though I have to say they have always been there. Feeling like I am "betraying" God makes the feelings much worse. I don't know.
Also, in a long term r-ship where sex has not been so satisfying and...well, that is part of the problem too.Anyway, thanks for the feedback,
Chris
