    Alright so this is where I'm at since my solid go at NoFap, and what seemed to be the inevitable relapse. I find myself much more restrained to say the least. Instead of watching porn everyday, it's as if I try to hold out for as long as I can, to make actually watching it that much more enjoyable. Is anyone in the same predicament? I can just feel the dopamine overload when I get to the site. With this being said, my tendency for specifics has died down. I don't have to search endlessly for something to get off. It's really whatever is there. So maybe in a way, this is getting closer to ridding myself of this? Maybe I'm slowly weening myself off? Or maybe I'm just making it worse because I'm making the experience more enjoyable. Who knows.

    This is something I've seen a lot, I even used to do it myself for a while. Its essentially a form of long term edging that is admittedly extremely pleasurable but also dangerous, as doing it enough just causes the urges to get worse when you reach the point you would normally PMO. In fact it was probably this that ruined my 75 day streak, a combination of stress, peeking at softcore, and endless fantasising combined together to make that relapse so enjoyable that it ruined not only that streak, but also made it impossible for me to progress for months afterwards. I know its hard but the only real solution is to go so long without porn that you no longer actually want it, the whole time you still do and just try to repress it for extended periods the worse it will be when the relapse eventually hits.

    True sign of a real problem to say the least.

    I know this much is for sure, you're addicted (interpret "addiction" how you want fuckin term is just a made up word not a fuggin disease) and are justifying this shit.

    Yeah definitely can relate. It's like a reward for making x number of days. Personally its bad. You should reward yourself with something else otherwise you're just feeding the addiction
