NAC for Impulsivity/Addiction

[jeroendebleser]

I heard Parkinson's meds have been known to make people blow their life savings gambling.

Yep. We recently had someone over here in Belgium who went on a killing spree supposedly because his Parkinson med gave him the compulsion to do so. The court laughed it off and he was convicted anyway. But these meds are serious stuff, not to mess about with.

I've never had Prolactin-issues from AAS but even if I had, I would be wary to go on Cabergoline, Pramipexole, ... Too risky mentally imo.

I absolutely do. I actually use one from a different company that I picked up in person at a sex shop by me.

That's the one I have but there was a small variety to choose from. Idk, like I said I'm not a big porn guy so I just went with whatever but apparently they are modeled after porn star vaginas.

Make sure that you use water based lube only with no parabens. Do not go cheap on the lube trust me. Best thing to do is pour a little in, get turned on a little, then sandwich it between two pillows on your bed and pound away. To clean it just run it by some lukewarm water by the sink for a little while, dry the outside out with a towel and lube should come right off if you didn't like friction it all away by then. There's even guides online on how to warm the lube up prior to actually fucking but I haven't gone this far yet. Def wanna try it soon though. No point in wearing a condom obviously, but I do still pull out when I have sex with it just because I hate the mess.

If you get one in person they will probably try to upsell you on some over-priced alcohol based "sex toy cleaner" in like this little spray bottle. DO NOT buy this garbage because it's meant mainly for dildos and could actually damage the fleshlight. Instead you're gonna wanna go to your local supermarket and get a thing of cornstarch to extremely lightly powder it up after each wash. This will kill off any moisture and generally keep it fresh for next time.

I wouldn't recommend ordering from Fleshlight directly because they seem to be expensive as fuck. I got this one for $30 and it'll probably be even cheaper on amazon. In addition it won't be as suspicious of a package when it's covered in amazon tape. I'm sure that the Fleshlight™ itself is a lot better but I wouldn't know because this off brand one keeps me plenty satisfied. I'm rambling at this point but I literally cannot stress enough how good of an investment this was. If you're one of those people that likes to really space out the time between your ejaculations, the orgasms and that post-coital glow are both really fucking mindblowing.

One day I do wanna cop one of these life size sex bots that they're developing but unfortunately it's not in my immediate future due to finances.

I HAVE to get one of those things!

Guilty as charged

Same. So worth it

Those 2 are for physical addiction to other substances though, they are worthless for psychological addiction like the OP has. (especially Wellbutrin since it is pro-dopaminergic which can cause the issue you're trying to treat)

Were you addicted to amphetamine/coke/heroin/opiates?

Do you say this as sex addiction is in essence a replacement of these drug addictions? I have had issues with most of the above but my sex addiction is usually at its peak when i relapse ect which hasnt happened for a fair time apart from the coke and odd oxy here and there

No I can't say that, that's something I'll leave up to the experts. But people who are prone to addiction often replace one addiction for another so it may very well be.

FWIW quite a few people i've known who use gear were once addicts of some sort and went through a rehabilitation process. The gear seemed to come during or after the rehab process. i don't think it's a coincidence.

I personally don't think so either in many (or most?) cases. I was never addicted to anything other than gear and my prescribed ADHD-amphetamine but I definitely have an addictive personality so I could just as well have been had it not been for luck and my environment. Even without substances involved, bodybuilders are addicted to fitness, runners are addicted to running, workaholics are addicted to working, ... I'm sure if it got looked into with absolute honesty, they'd find everyone is addicted to something, whether that's foreign substances or not. The negative connotation surrounding addiction is overplayed imo.

Absolutely! just some things societies accept and others are taboo. If you go from drug-addled to extremely fit people would believe you're doing great and i'm sure given the choice between something like an opioid addiction vs. gear family and friends would rather the latter.

I agree entirely, although over here in Belgium, steroids are also seriously frowned upon and seen as at least as bad as opiods. Probably even worse. We just don't have the same performance enhancement culture that you guys have over in the US. (not a big deal to me, I just say I'm scared of needles which always works like a charm lol)

makes sense i guess. very small country and biggest sport is Football/Soccer. Not much of a drug culture in that sport. So much money in pro sports in the US, it makes sense that we have, as you say, a culture. That's a good way of putting it.

I was never much of a porn guy but I've got a fleshlight that I use. Need to buy more lube for it. I'd say it more than pays for itself in the long run.


It's like methadone to me in the sense that I don't even think about sex or bitches at all if I get a good one off like twice a week.

If you don’t believe in it then you don’t know much about it or the mechanisms behind it. Either way, you’re blasting your brain with pleasure hormones and neurotransmitters when you have sex and there is also a different release when you have sex with a person vs masturbating so why is that so hard to believe? People can be addicted to anything.

Twice a week is where I wish I could be comfortable at lol. Actually not really, like sex way too much. Usually fall into the 2-3x/day category to stay happy

How much NAC? Do you combine with vitamin C? I use NAC daily myself with vitamin C and my asthma is almost non existent. I love it.

600-1200mg a day typically and I always take vitamin C daily so I guess it would be yes but wasn’t intentional
