yes, internet chatrooms where you chat with random people about sex. Not necessarily people seeking out anyone, more often just another warm body to chat with for arousal purposes. Sometimes images are exchanged as well. More interactive than just looking at pictures or videos.
Ah. Okey. Never gotten any replies on those sites from females. So guess this has not really been a trigger for me.
Sexchat with web cam is my problem. I'm clean from 7 day, today I had a templation, but I stopped. I spent 8 years on chatroom, now I get to change.
I'm sure it's different for a lot of people. For me it was different types depending on my mood. Sometimes a chat-roulette type thing, sometimes open chatrooms. But in both cases the goal was the same - interact with a real person and use them as a porn substitute, and it always ended with hours wasted and feeling terrible.
OMG yes....everything you said here mimics my experiences for years. So great to see I am not alone in this!
That was one of the hardest parts for me too. After I was finished, I felt so rotten, and kept thinking about how much time I had wasted that morning. But then the next day I was right back at it.
Today I wanted to chat after 9 days without, because of boredom that I have these days, I am at home doing nothing. I fought this urge to chat helping my family and watching a nice TV series.
If you want to hear encouraging success stories, I did it again this morning too. Was home alone...extended period with opportunity and I DID not join my normal chat rooms or P. A big part of the reason why was because I feel a strong sense of community with you guys and that if I give in, I am letting you guys down and being less of an inspiration than I could be. The downfall to having not disclosed to any family is that I have not (until now) experienced the side of it where a setback impacts other people. Now I have that with you guys. I hope that makes sense.
@Darrel thanks so much for posting this thread. This was really my primary addiction, and I really felt weird bringing it up, even here. It's so fantastic to learn I'm not alone, even in my particular corner of sick! Thanks again
+1. I'm totally in the dark of this side of porn. Is this the same as "live cams"? I've seen them at the sites, but never click in because I'm afraid of being charged by the minute. I'm guessing you get one-on-one interaction (and pay accordingly)?
I never did paid ones. Just public chat rooms where you find someone else looking for the same thing. Cams can be involved or not. You can also get the same thing by paying for it; I think there's a Netflix doc on that industry.
Never did the paid ones here, just the free ones. Not much one on one interaction, just lots of people watching one person. Sometimes I would go on cam myself and got lots of attention that way, but always felt so guilty. My laptop finally died on me, taking my web cam with it. I think it was a sign to stop! I think the netflix thing is called "Hot girls wanted" or something like that.
I saw this documentary about half year ago before NoFap. It is really really good documentary about the porn industry because it tells a story of 3 world famous pornstars who decided to quit and tell all the shit the is in this business. As far as I remember the scenes were censored but fuuu still it is really HUUUGE TRIGGER as you see there those girls half naked, teasing you because you can see that they are naked but it is censored and hardest part is that since they were porn stars at the end you can find 500 different porns where they are revealing everything and fucking everybody and everything. I remember I fapped afterwards to every single actress/pornstar from the documentary. So be warned! but still it is a good documentary that it's worth viewing but probably not during challenge.
