hey, it's alright. google "chaser effect", basically since you've already relapsed *why not* relapse again before you start over? don't fall to that mentality. you relapsed ONCE after an ENTIRE 17 DAYS. you haven't lost all the benefits. get over this one slip-up and keep going.

Thanks, yea I’m aware of the chaser effect and that these next 3 days will be more sexual thoughts than usual, thanks for the encouragement, I am not going to give up and I will surpass 17 days and more on this new streak

Yes masturbation increases anxiety. It gets worse the more you do it. That means you need to give it up completely. You need an AP. Ask for one on the thread for APs. Stay busy.

Thanks for the recommendation, I might end up doing that

then it gets more subtle; not looking at women lustfuly, thinking of them lustfuly, to the point where even in dreams you have no lust. Lust is also known as greed, so lust for resources (good, things) feeds into sexual lust

As for hate. You eliminate its gross forms; direct thoughts of I'll will towards someone (generally someone who you perceived harmed you). ill will manifests as impatience; subtly it's when you lack patience towards the guy driving infront of you; that's a substantial form of hate/anger/wrath, even if it only occurs in the mind and you don't behave in such a way

Sometimes there's a bad energy with someone. Maybe a neighbor or someone you see all the time. Practice seeing them as a baby and you hold them in your arms Feel love and friendliness towards them. Only do this with men, never with women since that would just turn into lust.

You could literally type in any attribute you’re horny about in the moment and get a video tested by the algorithm against thousands, hundreds of thousands, often millions of other users. Built to stimulate and satisfy you anytime you have the slightest horny urge. That’s not what anyone should be looking for in another human.

Thanks for the comment. And yea I agree porn use had some effect on the standard thing. But I remember even when I was 11 years old, before I had ever even seen or knew about porn videos, that I didn’t date a girl who liked me… so there is/was something wrong with me even before porn use

Thats good that you remember that. Though psychology with its obsession with childhood experiences is kind of limiting, thoughts like this in this context are very efficient in uprooting problems. This is the power of recollecting memories imo.
