I would be happy if I was not filled with the doubt whether my mind might be considering this as P-sub. I need help in this matter.
That's what I wonder too. I have a similar situation to yours. I get semi-erections while talking to a friend on camera, do you get the same?
I get it with my girlfriend even though we don`t usually discuss anything triggering during video chats. It also started only recently on my 8th day of nofap and as I am getting conscious about this, it continues now.
I wouldn’t say it’s a psub. Unless, you actually talk about sex etc. If you keep it clean, so are you. hope that helps guys
Things will get rocky. And trying. But as long as you try and keep your mind and habits clean, you’ll be good
So you think talking to friends (in a non-sexual manner) and getting semi erections once in a while on video chat is fine? Interesting. You think that it doesn't affect progress much? I wonder why? Not challenging you. Just curious.
No it’s ok. That’s the point of this forum. To discus things. If you keep things clean. Aka not have sexual content at all, it’s fine. It’s not a psub. As there’s no substitute for P. And I’ve been popping semis out of nowhere. And I haven’t been looking at psubs, or talking to friends over video chats. It’s a reboot where your hormones are up anyway, so things are going to change randomly down there. Sometimes dead, sometimes way too active and everything in between. So things are going to stir randomly. And at odd times. So if you keep things clean, just let things down there do what they need to do.
As of now everything is going clean and its the plan as well. The urges are less but there is a feeling of increasing urges day by day... Just by a small proportion. Will fight it till the end.
I just don't understand how video chat, not talking about sexual stuff, and getting boners can still be okay. Not saying you're totally wrong here, but I was kind of told the opposite. I dunno. *shrugs*
Boners are perfectly natural to get. I’d kill for one after being dead for over 3 weeks. Any sign of life of life would be welcome. I don’t think a little chat hurts a reboot at all.
That boners from video chat do affect PMO desensitized pathways, but idk how true that is. Maybe they were wrong? No idea. Or maybe they meant just sexual stuff.
I would presume they meant sexual stuff. Sometimes boners can’t be helped. Unless you were addicted to video chat P? Some people are
It's more in a sense that I have a friend who turns me on whenever I see him on video chat, but we haven't spoken in a while on video chat, so that's basically it.
Ooo. That’s a tricky one. If you worried about it you could just talk to him on a normal call. But again I think as long as you don’t make it sexual. Or fantasies afterwards, you should be good. My opinion that is. Others may disagree. You’ll have to think and do what you feel is best for you.
