Stimulants adderall & masturbation ?

this is kind of a taboo topic , but i could use some advice

i have been prescribed adderall because i actually need it, but instead of taking it everyday, i only take it on day's were i have a large amount of tedious work or stuff that requires more cognitive thinking then other days, or just when i am in social situations, as i can't seem to be able to connect with people at all otherwise without being a nervous wreck..


well enough of that..

i have been masterbating ever since i was 12 , and since i don't take adderrall everyday and maybe once or twice a week i guess i take a larger dose then what i should be (sometimes up to 60 mg)

well lately i have been getting into this trance like state and i become hyper focused on just searching for porn, and honestly the hours just go by, and I'm afraid to say it but i spent close to 18 hours one day just looking up porn and doing nothing else...

i know this is a problem, the thing is i rarely jerk off or am interested in porn at all when I'm sober, and probably view it at the same rate as any other guy (once or twice a week)

but on adderrall i become a monster , and this only happens when I'm near a computer, unfortunately i like to learning things like coding and photoshop when i am on the substance so it puts me in quite the predicament

i know this sounds absurd, but i am being honest here , and really didn't plan on sharing this with anyone, but i really want to enjoy this substance without becoming a a reclusive pervert, the first piece of advice would obviously be abstinence and learning to control ones self, but its easier said than done.

I have been taking Adderall for about 4 years now. What you are experiencing is very typical. You are experiencing hyper-focus from the Adderall. It does not matter what you focus on. It seems that once you have taken Adderall you will hyper-focus on it until something else interesting enough to take your attention comes along. I have lost entire weekends to this. You will not notice the time going by, it even becomes irritating when someone or something (like a telephone call) interrupts you.

I don't know if there is any way to counter this. If you figure something out, let me know. So far, my best solution is to only take Adderall on days when I have to go to work and accomplish something (if I don't take it, ADD makes me look like an idiot. If I do, I become like a prophet from hell, hyper-focused on whatever problem I am trying to solve and irritated by every little interruption).

good luck.

That's for the reply it's refreshing to know that I am not the only one this occurs to and that it's a common syntom , I mean it's a gift and a curse I guess I wouldn't entirely mind it occurring if I were able to use it in something productive , but yeah the setting your in I feel like places a major role in your experience as well ... being alone in one's room the temptation is way higher then being at work or something lol
 
You certainly aren't alone in this. You're just posting the frightening truth about drugs that turn regular people into crazed perverts. I went through tons of mdpv when it first came out, before everyone realized it was as evil as a drug could get, if a drug could be evil. I mostly just did a lot of volunteer work and other wholesome things for 5 months straight...yeah.

Indeed...

I keep my prescription in my car so I can only take it on my way to work... If I take it sooner, I risk calling in sick and spending the day on porn :)
 
This is completely normal and to be expected. All amphetamines produce both hyper-focus and sexual interest. This means it's very easy to become intensely focussed on something like porn when on the drug. The important thing is how you manage the situation. SaturnSighed is on the right track imo. If you're planning on consuming the Adderall on a particular day then take the precaution of also planning an interesting/enjoyable activity (other than surfing porn) which you can do while under the drugs effects. I know your first preference would be to be playing with codes or Photoshop but you might have to just give them ones a miss since you're only a click away from a poem site.
 
If only it was poem sites.... I bet if more people focused on poetry more than sex life would be a lot better for everyone. We need more good vibrations.
 
@ justblaze

Instead of watching porn for 18 hours why dont you simply jack off a couple of times as fast as possible? Once the pipes are drained you will no longer be interested in porn and can do something
more productive. masturbation actually protects from being tempted to watch porn. i'd rather jack off daily than be tempted to watch porn.
 
Hi JustBlaze420 ,

I work for an ISP (internet service provider) and we do offer some parental control software. Your provider might do the same or there must be somekind of freeware you can download.

If the name isn't selfexplainatory enough, the software basically filters and blocks mature content (porn obviously) and you should have the option to tweak the settings to your needs.

Of course as you said, controling your impulse would be best but if that was an easy thing the world would be quite a different place.

Anyway, I would give this a try and following installation and settings, maybe ask for a friend to set a new password and keep the info for when you need it.

Good luck with your learning !

*** Edit for Spellcheck *** While on the subject, and not to be condescending or anything, but it really poped out when I saw your thread first, it is "masturbation" not "masterbation" altho your way of spelling it implies somekind of mastering which might apply when we think of an 18 hours session... Anyway, again good luck with everything.
 
This is interesting to me, I do become more sexual on Adderal and other stims but I find that when I go to masturbate or have sex it's much harder to cum. (I'm a girl btw, wonder if that has anything to do with it? Prolonged sex can be fun but after an hour with a vibrator you're just numb down there.)
 
I was actually just talking about this with a friend..lol..we both laugh when some adderall comes in now..i gave some to him for the first time a few weeks ago and i asked him how it was and said his dick hurt like hell because he jacked off for about 10 hours straight lol..its disgusting to think ive missed more work due to adderal fueled masterbation sessions lasting well into the morning than i have for being sick %)
 
This is pretty normal. Solutions? Eh...

You could try starting up an SSRI to kill your sex drive. But of course, if you're not depressed/OCD/otherwise benefit from an SSRI the side effects and dependence are probably worse than the problem you'd be solving.

Also, frequent exercise should help somewhat. Other than that, I think it's mostly just a matter of breaking the habit: The suggestion above me about using parental controls is a good one in that it would give you some extra "external" willpower to help you get through the first week or two in training yourself to occupy your time elsewhere.
 
You could try lowering the dosage, but then, you will probably miss the effect you are theoretically taking it for (to help with ADD or ADHD).
I suggest that instead, you should avoid taking it altogether except after you are already on your way to work or school (whichever is your case). I do not take it on weekends. Or, you could try lining up something you know will be more interesting to catch and hold your attention once the Adderall kicks in.

As a side note, may I also suggest that if you drink coffee, you replace it with a really decent grade of green tea (particularly if you intend to lower your dosage). Swapping out the heavy caffeine load for theanine really helps with focus.
 
I take Adderall sparingly as well, but I get the opposite side effects. My libido decreases as does the size of my penis. (Due to its vasoconstrictive properties)
