Anal play addictions

[bronto]

Hey all,
Just throwing this out there.
I've played with myself for years and years, but it's always been an occasional thing...maybe once a week or once a month.
For the last six months, I've just been at it. For the last two weeks I've really gone at it at least once a day. I wouldn't care in normal circumstances, but I don't really enjoy it any more. It's like an addiction. I do it to relax, but my body is spent and can't take it. I just get this urge to relax in the shower and orgasm.
I look at porn and I'm doomed.
I want to stop for a long time so that I have that crazed lust to give it to myself, which I've lost, but it's too easy to give in and go for it.

Does anybody else share this issue? What do you do to distract yourself and successfully take a break for a month or more?

Thanks!

my life just now is basically porn surfin during the day and a good wank at night and serious assplay.this is what i look forward to all day.it does seem a bit sad but unfortunately there isnt much else in my life at the moment.hasnt always been like this and i hope things will change.just a case of too much time on my hands,but as lennon said whatever gets you thro the night-its alright.

Yes, it's easy to fall into a rut like that - I think it's the same with all "serious obsessions".
New input - new people, places - maybe a new job ?

Reading works for me:
Charles Stross, Richard Morgan, Iain M. Banks, Stephen Baxter, Peter F. Hamilton, Alastair Reynolds

If nothing else, it will peeter out sometime in your fourties : )

While I've never really fallen into that sort of rut, I think I understand why it happens. Having too much time on your hands is probably the root of the problem. I find that after days and nights on end of working in the virtual realm of computers, I relax better if I do something more tangible for a bit. The suggestions of reading or writing are good and can be expanded to include any kind of activity that is just that - active.
Take up a hobby of some sort. Make it parallel to your playing, by all means. Knit or sew a "Plug-cozy" or a toy-bag. A few bits of plank can be made into a beautiful, crude, rough or useful box for the collection of toys or just that special one. Start making your own toys by carving the "perfect plug",cover in silicone and fill with latex or make a mold to cast it in. (I'm NOT going to suggest that you take up needle-work and make a "Hole, sweet hole" to hang on your wall, complete with simulated, off-colour, lube-stains, that would be silly...)
None of the above has to be expensive or perfect, as long as it's time-consuming enough to let your mind switch tracks, away from that rut.

Best of luck! Edited February 24, 2010 by nixxoff

I look at porn and I'm doomed.

Apart from all good tips given here I think that´s the essential sentence. Porn seems to be your trigger which I can understand very good

Try to stay away from porn as long as possible, which is hard enough.

One more thing: i wouldn´t consider daily anal games as bad as long as you enjoy them. If performed with the right mind set they can grow into some sort of your daily meditation period But you you say yourself that you don´t enjoy them anymore. so maybe it´s an idea not to stop to play with your ass but to approach this with another attitude. Recover the fun in your games

And anal play definitely should be all about fun
