tw// mildly suggestive topics Friendly reminder, if it is at all possible in your current living space or when you have the time, energy, power, and other means to change it around so this is doable, that not having any computers/electronics in your bedroom, period, apparently helps a lot with making it a "sleep/love/masturbating" exclusive area, with nothing else to interrupt or disturb its explicit intended use. I also suppose you can try using computers/electronics for sexual matters in...another room just for...that activity, if you even have such a fancy and specific room, I sure don't, or use other places in the house when no one's around or others are asleep/out of sight enough, private places if possible to have/find them, even, and discreetly finish in and on your clothes, which can hopefully be washed later. Speaking from personal experience, the "no electronics in the bedroom" rule hasn't helped a whole lot, yet, as my sleep schedule is chaotic, nocturnal, and frustratingly difficult to control/direct, plus finding non-digital alarm clocks might be a hassle, I imagine, or may make you seem/look old/outdated, but I'm glad to at least be building one new positive habit recently that can serve me well, especially in the future if and when my sleep gets back to a healthy state. Even now, it's nice to have no, like, phone calls, conversations, virtual appointments...anything in there, though the last one may especially be hard for me someday soon to find a quiet, private room in the house for that. partial tl:dr It gives the bedroom a more "sacred space" vibe, if you can believe that, to leave electronics and computers out, if and when possible. That was a really long paragraph, huh? 😒
