After a year, i'm falling into porn again...

    So, 170 days hard mode, from may 2018 to november, then started having sex twice a month, then dating apps fucked me up, started watching too many girls, exchange pics with some girls, and that opened up the door to porn again.

    Yesterday i watched porn for the 3rd time in a month, second time in a week.
    It's clearly escalating, and i know exactly where this is going.

    The problem is, after not seeing the result i hoped with nofap, after getting only withdrawals and depression, this time i don't have any motivation to do this at all. The last year i never used any porn blocker or something like this, i just didn't watch it, but knowing that the results are not that great for me, i don't have the motivation this time...

    just jerk off without porn, you don't need to watch porn, just fantasise/remember past sexual encounters. Porn is the true enemy, If I had libido I would just masturbate, unfortunately I'm still flatlining, hoping it will end soon

    Suggest you spend more time trying to help others next time. Lifts depression too.

    Hi roady thanks for replying but my question was for the guy who started this thread.. And i totally agree with u the point of no pmo for me is to give up a bad habit simple as that. Now what i don't get is how could a person fall back to same shitty habit despite being sober for a good amount of time, maybe i have not gotten that far (this is my second 90+ streak) but i don't see any reason for going back.
    Everyone here seems to be complaining about mental issues not resolving, but some people sadly have physical issues due to this habit as well (I'm one of them).
    So i ask whether the purpose of doing nofap was simply to get ur anxiety or pied cured, or is it to actually make some positive change in life? If the purpose was to start having sex with prostitutes or gfs after some specific time then why did u even start it? If u don't want to work hard for a degree, job, home, and eventually a wife, then u r mistaken that nofap will make any difference in ur life.
    Mental issues not only develop due to pmo, they also do due to underlying issues of anti social thinking, joblessness, and u can actually add anything to the list u want to.
    This is obviously my belief based upon my values.

  13. I understand what u mean, I have not seen any huge benefits myself. My life still sucks and sometimes it feels that my life was better when I was doing pmo.

    Start again your journey,if you succeed you can break 170 record coz this time your tactics could be more strong and coz you have got an experience.
    And nothing was done in one go.
    We are humans it take time.

    The thing is, nofap is probably useful only for people who have physical problems, like pied, all the rest that is promoted with nofap is bullshit, like feeling better, smarter, woman attraction, and a whole series of bullshit you read everywhere about nofap.

    But about my expectation, i don't understand what the expectations of nofap should be, probably nothing. That's why i think it's mostly a placebo.

    Hey Arkad, Arcade, I Like that Name.
    Why do You think that IT didnt Work for You when IT worked for so many Others? I Tried porn too but feel Bad every time afterwards. Its a waste of time and You could watch some great movie or read a great book while You FAP your time away. Sometimes i get Horny and try IT without porn. But fapping Masturbation makes me so angry!! I am Not in contact with myself. Every Person has This one weakness. Tell a drinker to Stop drinking, He might Not be able to Stop. But its harmful and He could spend His time better without.

    Same with fapping. You know when I was 21/22 or so I came to Vienna for a Woman I love. Guess what? She didnt meet me! So fuck what am I doing? I got depressed, Fapped, Tried to convince her to meet me. Instead of that Imagine If I hadnt Fapped... I probably wouldve enjoyed every day more. I did some great Things and maybe I wouldnt have Met her anyways... But fapping in sorrow only makes Things Worse. Sometimes its a pleasure... But time is better spent without it I think.

    And No one needs porn. Or Imagine If I wouldnt have watched porn once in my Life. What would I have missed? Nothing! Because porn is nothing and of No use for intelligent people Like me. Fapping is a waste of time and ultimately Addiction...

    Study better without, find strategies, try. Imagine This: If i wouldnt have watched IT I might have gotten the Woman I love in 2010 and would have Been with her ever since.. and If I wouldnt have gotten her i would be happy without her cause i dont fap or watch porn. This is Nofap! This is Sparta. Bei Like Walter my friend, Said Bruce Lee.

    We can talk about that, but that is totally another issue, different than the issue i was talking about: "Does nofap give you any improvement\advantage?"
    For what is my experience nofap result are ridicolous, and there's a big business growing around it, like selling books, youtubers "coaching" kids, promising them "superpowers".
    And also sites like yourbrainonporn are actually not so serious and they also promote, in a more discrete manner, that "Superpowers" are real.

    If you don’t get any advantage from nofap then it is reasonable for you to continue to fap. I feel many benefits such as a clear head, less guilt, more self worth and therefore more confidence which leads to meeting more people and more girls and having many more opportunities for real intimacy and love etc. Some people call this “super powers” but actually it is what everyone is born with but porn has robbed many people from normal emotions and normal experiences and they don’t even realise it.

    If you want to get better at real life you have to spend more time in real life, if you want to get better at fantasy you need to spend more time in fantasy.
