    This is my first post, i am new here

    I have stop fapping for like 35 days and still counting. But i still watch porn without fapping or orgasm. Yes i am aroused but i dont cum.

    Is it better than masturbating without porn?
    Or do i need to completely free myself from porn?

    Masturbation isn't the main problem here. Porn is. Study a bit more about it.

    Masturbation and porn is the problem and he is working on it. If he does not trigger the self rewarding for no effort process, also know as the button that bring porn and leads to masturbationg. Then it is okay because he is not masturbating on porn and maily, he does not orgasm watching it.

    If OP was touching himself and edging, then, he needs to give up porn and masturbation harded than that even if it still better than having an orgasm watching porn, the behavior still wrong.

    OP, if you're aroused by porn, it's "fine". It mean that you want to have sex. The fact you're fighting the urge by NOT masturbating is a great improvement, it's a success.

    Do you need to quit porn ? Yes, you should quit porn because fat people stay fat until they get ride of fat and sugar from their house.

    If you're watching porn, one day, you may masturbate. With no porn comes no responsabilities, less stress, less trouble, less tentation.

    So if I got you right, you're saying that watching porn without MO is okay, right? Well, that's not quite right. That's not only from my own experience. Unless you quit MO and most importantly P you won't make much progress. Loads of dopamine are flowing through your brain at the moment you start searching&looking at porn. Don't get it confused. Porn is your enemy, not a friend.

    Welcome! You've come to the right place :)

    No. Actually, I believe it's far worse. What you're doing is called "edging". Edging is where you bring yourself to sexual stimulation, but never release that stimulation with orgasm. It is unhealthy for you, especially when you do it with porn. For one matter, it can really damage your prostate. However, there's a psychological impact as well: When you are sexually stimulated, your brain is exposed to higher levels of a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine is basically a chemical reward for doing something biologically favorable. It makes sense that you would be exposed to more dopamine as a result of being sexually stimulated, as sexual stimulation has potential to lead to reproduction, which is biologically favorable. However, when you have an orgasm, your brain is exposed to higher levels of another chemical called prolactin. Prolactin makes you feel sleepy, satisfied, and relaxed. It counteracts some of the effects of dopamine, and is associated with 'sexual release'. Some scientists have proposed using prolactin as a measurement of how satisfied you are sexually. However, prolactin is not released in the brain if you don't orgasm, which means that dopamine high is never relieved or counteracted. If you continue to do this, your brain will demand higher and higher levels of dopamine to feel rewarded, which can have pretty severe psychological consequences. To make matters worse, you're doing this with porn, which means your brain is developing an association between feeling rewarded and watching porn. This will just make it harder to stop watching porn. It truly would be best for you if you stopped watching porn altogether.

    As for other types of sexual activity, the experiments I've read about overwhelmingly suggest that sex between penis and vagina produces the highest levels of prolactin in the brain after an orgasm. There is still some produced from masturbation to orgasm, but not nearly as much as from sexual intercourse with a real person (whether the subjects were watching porn or not). If this is true, then that means that sexual intercourse is far more chemically satisfying than other sexual activities like masturbation.

    Obviously you don't need to, but don't you want to? Your language suggests that you do. You didn't say "give up porn". You said "free myself from porn". You know the truth: porn is slavery. You don't watch porn because you like it. You watch porn because you've become dependent on it for pleasure and gratification. If you quit watching porn, you will feel more free. You will feel like you have more control over your life. Please, take what I've said into consideration and consider quitting porn.

    this morning I relapsed, when I do I try to come on here and really identify what the negative feelings of remorse and regret I have and try to really reflect on those feelings so I don't have to live with them further...I'm sure you all understand what a self loathing disgusted state that is.

    Last night, I had a dream of one of my favourite porns from when I was very young, I'd been doing well for me like a 6 day streak, but I obsess over a woman or a porn and can't let it out of my head...when I was alone I spent my time hunting and searching till I found the porn and the actress pictures on google and facebook. Even though I didn't O, and justified that I'm working out and want to check if it's still working and how big it is the fact is that I still P and M'ed...and I even closed the blinds and put it on my big tv...I feel like a sicko.

    Although, I would have more feelings of depression, and anger and low energy if I had PMO til O completion, that mixed bag of feelings is not all there...however, the self hatred, and disgust with myself, and the talking shit to myself like I'm worthless for doing this, is still there...along with the fear and paranoia and feeling caught, like did I close the window before I left home I hope I cleared the cache in history on the tv or will my wife come home and find it...Omg this feeling is terrifying...I feel like sometimes I just do this stuff to have an excuse to live further in these negative emotions and beat myself up.

    I was a drug addict and low life for sure before...but now am trying to improve but still have mental health and self esteem issues...anyways I feel like i'm doing better, but still feel guilt and regret about this relapse. Like for real Porn is the bain...I'm just lying to myself if I say it's okay I didn't fap to completion...that shit is NOT ok...porn is the root...gotta root that shit out from the base...no other way.

    I agree with everyone else that looking at porn will most likely lead to a relapse at some point. You can only look at it for so long without being overcome with the desire to jerk off. However, I swear I read something on the yourbrainonporn website where it said that looking could in fact be beneficial IF and only IF you do not jerk off after. I remember the reasoning being that it forces you to use a lot of will power to only look and not jerk off. This helps build up the will power "muscles". Maybe someone else here knows the web page I'm talking about.

    Completely porn and masturbation free just cut out both completely and you will slowly start to build will peer to deal things you always wanted to do to the extent that porn is a waste of time because it is and just makes you feel shame and guilt
     
  13. I just did the same I watched it but dident cum. I don't feel like it's a relapse but it's very subjective cuz we are all in it for different reasons
     
  14. This is a porn recovery website. How can watching porn not be a relapse? :confused:

  15. Not masturbating for 5 weeks is good. But you have sabotaged any progress you might have made by watching porn. :oops: The advice of @wtbootb sums up the reason why you need to abstain from P+M+O really well...
     
  16. I no longer do that it was something I use to do when I was in my i couldn't control my reasoning . Things your porn brain tell you
     
  17. Two comments within 24 hours:- "I just did the same" vs "I no longer do that". o_O These are conflicting posts. Why? :confused:
