    Hi,

    Im on Day 7 of NoFap and was wondering when if ever I can go back to just masturbating (no porn)

    Porn is my main issue, i think the problem with going back to M too quickly is that my brain is too hardwired to porn, so doing M i end up thinking about porn stuff

    Its been okay so far but I'm beginning to struggle like keep get urges/feeling tense, this morning I must have had a boner for an hour just thinking about sex which was real bad. I absolutely want to give up porn 100%, but M and O? Not forever surely, there has to be a day I can finally start doing that again

    I also am single and would like to find a relationship, I think if I was in one I wouldn't even bother with M at all

    How about you try to go as long as you can without masturbation, and then you'll see how you feel? Rebooting timespan is very individual, so nobody can tell how much you need. The best way is to try.

    From what I know, there are no downsides to quitting masturbation if you're healthy in general, so don't worry about that. Just focus on your recovery now. Having a good streak in hard mode is a thing that can make you feel proud of yourself.

    I've had 33 days hard mode and I felt better than ever before. Of course, I still had many problems, but at least it wasn't as boring as before.

    I want to aim for meeting a woman. IDK if going back to the fapping will slow that process down. At the end of the day I think being with a woman is the goal. I think PMO will reduce my chances of having the relationship I want. Also there's step one powerlessness. I am powerless over PMO so if I use any facet of the addiction I could go back to full blown addiction through phenomenon of craving.

    If I were you, I would go cold turkey for at least 100 days. Just don't even think about it. Switch your mind to other things right when you think about M. Get outdoor do something else. If you flex your muscles, or sweat out the chemistry helps....

    You will experience remarkable change. Especially the way you see people.

    Of course after say 100 to 200 days I would reintroduce M. BUT without any P, erotica, P like imagination. M is healthy when done right
