Hey guys, I realized during my journey, that I am not addicted to watch porn, but I am definetely addicted to masturbation. Its super hard for me to get up from bed in the morning without busting a nut. Sometimes I masturbate 2x/day. My typical week looks like 5 strikes. While masturbating I use fantasies, my fetishes, which I learned while I used to watch porn. When I think about it, I red somewhere that your mind cant really see difference between what you are really experiencing and what you are visualizazing. So I guess even when I dont watch porn and I masturbate to my fantasies I sort of watch porn - do you know what I mean? Anyway I think even tho I am not addicted to porn I should battle to gain power over my masturbation habits. I think masturbating to images in your head where you are dominating quite brutally some young girl is not okay. Honestly I dont even get turned on by fantasizing normal sex. I rarely visualize my sex encounters. I always need to have the twisted porn inspired fantasies to satisfy. Anyone can relate to this?
Well, that's called FMO and it stands for fantasize, masturbation, and orgasm. I recommend that you don't do that because it releases dopamine and it's kind of same as PMO.
PUmp20, i had this exact same issue, before NOFAP was addicted to porn and fapping, after i discovered nofap 3 years back, overcame porn which itself was a milestone after that had lot of relpases in fapping by fantasing, and i believe fantasing is as good as watching porn. About a month back got the 'turnaround' the urges to fap came to a complete stop after i read and applied a book called "Beyond Distraction" by gary douglas its from "Accessconsiousness . com ", also currently reading a book on addiction recovery "Right recovery for you" by Marilyn Bradford (u can search this book and get 3 sample chapters legally from the author) What if these 2 gives you the breakthru you are looking for? Thats why i got. Best wishes on ur journey of nofap. UrbanIndian
My problem is sort of same. I fantasize sex encounters and then M & O. Is it possible to stop this fantasizing?
@pump20 didnt know that. Thank you. I will research FMO. @UrbanIndian thx so much for the suggested content. I will check it out.
