I have been jogging and exercising. However, every time I finish a workout, I feel tired and urge to PMO, especially when I'm alone. Why?
I lapsed again today. I looked at porn video while home alone -- AFTER CHURCH. I feel miserable, defeated, hypocritical. I was feeling joy.
Rebooting with my wife having metastatic breast cancer. We can't have intercourse. I "test the plumbing" because I'm Insecure with ED.
I'm a female, AFAB, who is highly supportive of NoFap as a movement, and highly opposed to PMO cycle/addiction.
Feel good about nofap rn. But I’m dealing with lots of work until Tuesday evening. Don’t let stress get you. Action is worry’s worst enemy.
Struggling with a trigger, strong urges to MO to it, regrets about NOT having sex with my partner enough.
Device on. OMG, its helping so much. Feel peace rather than anxiety. Its helping me to get through the urges from this trigger. Could have very easily relapsed with MO.
I find that it isn't necessarily about "enough" sex that's the problem, but rather, how we see MO, how we see relationships, and sex in general, that can be helpful. Not seeing sex as a crutch for happiness or peace. You already have peace inside of you.
Nofap Day 164/365. Hardmode Day 107/365. Be careful of Tinder Snapchat etc There are P*rn agents recruiting ppl through them to do Por*.
I don’t think I fully believe PMO is bad for me. I know it’s a don’t do from scripture, but I’m not locked in on my why.
Because the brain knows that it's a shortcut to easy dopamine. That's what the game is about: saying no to short-term pleasures that are harmful in the long run or aren't aligned with your values. There's always a price you have to pay. Think what you lose for a temporary pleasure.
From a faith perspective, I would say it’s bad because it reduces our neighbor to parts instead of focusing on them as a whole; made in the image of God. As Pope John Paul II said: “Porn doesn’t show too much of a person, it shows far too little”. We were created to love and porn is not loving.
