Hey guys I’m on day 2 of no porn but I have still been jerking it without the porn once a day. I do hope to do this less frequently in the future but so far so good. Is this a bad thing? And is once a day still too much? I do want to do it less but it has been helping with the urge to watch porn.
going through a really tough breakup and dealing with porn addiction that got worse because of it. I live alone, don't have friends nearby I can talk to about this stuff, and I'm tired of fighting this battle alone in my head.
I took a small peak and found porn and relapse. It always starts small
I am writing this to make a confession of what I have done and what I am feeling now and to seek advice and urgent help from you guys. Last year I was really addicted to masturbation that even I got to sexchat with boys of my age discussing about actress and even had bi chat. But after every discharge I got guilty and remained silent for 1-2 days. But it got started again. I was really a straight as an arrow person. But this fap made me to search for new pleasure which made me end to bi chat. And curious about it. It's been 4-5 months that I stopped everything. But the main and disturbing this is that, it is still haunting me. And it created a SO OCD in me. Making my mind to question me every single time that " am I bi or gay" but all of a sudden I try to say my self that I am straight. Which is Truly I am. a Straight. I Love a girl sincelerly and deelpy but its a one sided love till now. But Thinking of her is also making the Ocd worse to question me and Making my mind go mad. I am really disrurbed and Even Thinking to end everthing Once and for all😓.
please help me Guys.
big urges are going away somewhat but the "just a little peak" moments are constant. I feel that I'm looking at women in a different way. Not staring but im noticing them more. my brain is looking for dopamine so its constantly looking for something sexual.
Im eating a lot more than I used too and gained around 1kg in 2 weeks… it feels like I never get full 😅
I knew that quitting some addictions, smoking for example, made you more anxious. Maybe thats whats going on with me? Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Even in a mostly great group like this there are bad people that only want to see you relapse.
had a very vivid dream of relapsing, and it almost felt like a nightmare, I'm one month sober and i would have hated myself for ruinning that.
I've never felt so lost but so happy to wake up 💀😭
I didn’t get enough sleep today. I’ve noticed that when I’m sleep-deprived and then end up alone or bored, my urges get stronger. I have to cut those thoughts off quickly and keep myself busy to distract myself. Today it’s a bit harder.
There were thoughts about masturbating without porn, but I decided it’s still too early. I need to hold on longer, maybe until day 30, or until a day when it really becomes too difficult. For now, I feel good. I’ll get through today too.
I feel lust is one of the least talk about topics when it comes to porn and masturbation. It's a natural human behavior/need. Yet, people talk to just quit porn, but what about when lust kicks in? When there's a need to ejaculate.
Just couple of weeks ago I was completely focused on several projects, working out, being more social, seeing great results, gaining more confidence. I had no need to watch porn and masturbate, because I was so busy and happy with the results I was seeing. Then lust kicked in little by little, until I was bored and watched porn and ejaculated. Then all that confidence was gone, I started wanting to watch more porn again. Lost the drive I once had to continue growing and working on my projects.
Sounds like a joke, but seems lust creeped up on me when I had more control over my life. Any advice on controlling lust or the sexual need? I hear our brain often uses distractions as a way to escape reality or as a way to tell us a necessity. Some people use drugs, others alcohol, others porn. Even as a way to escape boredom too. Thanks
I want to quit but after a few days I get really horny and I try to do it without watching it. But I can't just sit there and use my mind and if I look at Instagram I will just go watch it after a bit of looking at that.
any advice or other websites to use to help me not just go watch porn and quit

About two months ago I was completely locked in. Focusing on several projects, working out more, practicing my hobbies, getting better at them, being more social. I started seeing great results and getting more confident in all areas of my life. I could talk to more people easily, be more bold, didn't have time to even think about porn or masturbation, because I was so into the change I was seeing in my life.
Then all of the sudden, I started lusting, more and more, until I was bored watched some porn and masturbated. I didn't think much about it, but then I started doubting myself more. When I could do things without overthinking and getting this natural high of feeling successful, after it was self-doubt, I couldn't talk to women as before, I hesitated, even stuttered when I don't even stutter. The energy I previously had, it was gone. Now I keep thinking about masturbation constantly.
Any advice? I didn't want to think of porn as a bad thing in moderation, but after killing my fire and slowly trying to get the momentum going of what I had before. I'm realizing it's more damaging to my mind than I thought. I'm just trying to understand what it does to my mind to completely shut it down. Even if it's just once, I have come to realize it's not doing any good. Thanks
Free for a month now, but I'm so scared about what if my brain never recovers? What if the images will stay with me forever and I will never be able to get my brain to a healthy state? How to cope with that anxiety and with intrusive thoughts/memories?
I've stopped completely but I just replaced it with thirst traps and I want to stop with them I can't really. any tips?
searching for a no fap accountable buddy atleast communicate day to day urges
