Karezza, oxytocin, and addiction

[Chef Offthesauce]

:new:

Hello all,

I've been a lurker for the last few weeks. What a resource this is! Many thanks to everyone here, this forum has been an integral part of having 2 weeks AF under my belt.

Last year I stumbled upon Reuniting.info (can't post link yet), a huge resource and active forum on Karezza style sex and porn addiction. I haven't seen any mention of this on these boards, but I believe this could be another excellent addition to our tool belt. Addiction is addiction, after all.

The theory is this: practicing karezza style sex is supposed to increase our levels of oxytocin, while eliminating the regular addictive style rush of dopamine produced from orgasm. People doing this report all sorts of benefits, including better mood, more loving relationships, and less addictive behavior of all kinds. Personally I'm a long way from making the switch, but the journey has been worth it so far. I notice that after orgasm I feel less connected with my partner for at least a few days, and cravings for things increase.

Does anyone here have any experience with this? Big ginger ale cheers to all .

Well... I should imagine the reason you haven't stumbled upon threads about sex addiction is because this is a forum for alcohol addiction. LOL! Yeah, addiction is addiction... but there are marked differences between the different types of addiction and how you deal with them.

Just as an aside, I wonder about the whole oxytocin hype that's going on just now. I remember when *pheremones* were being bandied about, and kind of see it in the same light...

Really though Mollers... maybe you're on to something there. Yer man indoors will probably agree that it is an integral part of your recovery hon. I think you should go for it....

Dear Satz,

You need to embrace your inner oxytocin.

Love, Zenny!
