I watched porn today and this week I wa sis bored while watching I slept once form boredom i didn't watch porn food more than 20 minutes it's boring to me. I have no more urges I am on my way to recovery. And my p***s doesn't work well.
Hmm this is an interesting topic. On one hand I agree that porn is boring. If you watch after having M-ed and O-ed, you there is no appeal to watching it (and the obvious shame if you're trying to recover). But there is something that needs to be said about the attractiveness of porn prior to masturbation and orgasm. It's an overwhelmingly intense attractiveness that is hard to resist. It's the reason we're all here trying kick that attraction and make it look like it does afterwards. At the end of the day, of you can lose that appeal to it then you'll have a much better time stopping addiction in its tracks.
Too me I relapsed today just so I can write down what I felt. I felt like I died and I'm watching the wall going insane. I ended up quitting my session after 5 minutes. I looked the the most hardcore porn it didn't arouse me.im going to come back where when I have a urge
I agree it's weird I normally have immense urges but now I just have no urges and I probably should quit now before anything happens starting from 1200 Pm cst
For me I looked for the most hardcore and it didn't give me a erection I think now is the best time to quit so I can escape quick.
In my opinion it is not the attractiveness of porn. It is a compulsion and a craving from withdrawing dopamine rewards. Having gone through the rebooting process, I can say that is only after you have rebooted, do you truly regard porn as totally boring and unappealing. Even when many months into my recovery, I still felt like I missed it. It still seemed 'attractive', in the sense that the craving for dopamine fixes was strong.
Sigamos alejando la posibilidad de buscar P, hay detonantes .... pero OS elegir rechazarlos ...aunq reinicie hace 4 días mi contador....sigo rumbo al mes si ver P...
Agreed. At the end of the day our hormones are what drive us to do certain things. Whether it be dopamine, serotonin, there's a very large list of them with many functions. I think we are pretty much saying the same things but in different terms and scales. Dopamine pushes you to be attracted to the things that make you feel good, you've conditioned yourself to get a rush of Dopamine whilst or just before PMO. Hence you are attracted to it when you need a fix. It's not just recognizing that porn isn't all that interesting pre-PMO... it's also recognizing what puts you in that mindset of *ding!* I'm horny now where can I masturbate right now.
I think it's because all of the porn videos that fit my criteria to watch I have burned out all of the supply. And it's generally old porn and I would skip so that's probably why
