Something I don't understand. When I relapse, it is because of what seems like extreme physical need. You both talk about your reasons for self abuse being related to emotional or psychological needs, but you never seem to address the the issue of just being extremely "horny" (forgive my language) and how hard it is to escape that feeling! What are we supposed to do when our bodies respond sexually to nothing at all, and there is no option for a procreative union to deal with this aching nagging thing? I don't think I do this because of feeling of insecurity, stress or loneliness, it seems to be directly connected to a biological drive. I developed a bad habit of dealing with that biological drive as a teenager, and now even in my 40's I can't seem to escape my sex drive!
Yeah I'd liked to know this too. In my 30s and I need and want to procreate badly. Doing my best to not relieve that feeling, but this so very hard. There are resources for men, but not for women. There is only so much running and praying I can do.
This is my issue too. Hormones, man. That, and my medication. I’m grateful the meds perk me up but wow I forgot how it makes me peak according to my cycle. Before I went back on this one, the maoi I take basically diffused these urges, or at least made them much easier to deal with. So my estimate is, at least for me, it’s something to do with getting more dopamine and probably more estrogen/drop in progesterone. Just a hypothesis, though, for now.

I am literally dealing with this as well.
