    Hello

    Today I have reached 97 days of nofap...i feel a big difference from the last day of watching and doing PMO to today...but the last days I feel a big pain in my balls and I feel horny and exited of anything...a lot of times i'am boner and I try to hidden this strong erection...but I have one question...I know is repeated but I found a lot of answers...and I don't know wich the answer for my case...so the question is
    Can I masturbate without Porn Now ?

    Some people said yes because the M only without P is healthy but in the other side some peoples said if I masturbate then include my imagination will try to remember the last hot pics and videos...so is the same as M with P

    Awaiting your answers

    Thanks

  3. I'm no expert but I think most would warn of falling back into the pit. I'm close to the end of my own 45 days and plan to not do it anymore after, but I'm married.

    It's probably best if you can make it through without masterbating; however, if it is so bad that you can't function in your day to day life you might need to empty the pipes. I would think masterbating without porn, without fantasizing about porn or anything you consider to be unnatural, sexual behavior, and without reverting to your death grip is healthy. I don't think that action will reinforce bad neural pathways. Of course, if you can find intimacy with a partner, that is always better.

    Why masturbate? Go and do some better man. Better than have sex with you're hand. I which I had 97 days !

    It’s a lot better to go out and have real sex with a woman than it is with your hand. The problem is that whether you’re fapping to porn, pics or your imagination, you’re still fantasizing. You’re building up this false representation of reality and getting off to it rather than real physical situations with real people. This is why in my opinion eliminating P and M from your life are both critical. They both play a role in wrecking the brain’s dopamine receptors and forming an addiction. You can just as easily become addicted to fapping without porn as you can with it after you get used to being without porn. Frankly I don’t think either one is “healthy”, and I think the only people who would still claim that are those buying into the misinformation spread by the medical industry—the same industry that would also say looking at porn isn’t bad either...

    I think porn is worse than masturbation. If you masturbate to images of women say you know (old crushes etc) or just masturbate with no mental imagery at all every so often I don’t think that’s terrible but for lots of people it’s a slippery slope. It’s an even worse idea if you have ED.

    Just go to do some physical activities, like working out, swimming, you won't feel horny after that. Worse come to worst, if you still feel horny, I would advice you to pay a prostitute and have actual sex with her, rather than use your hand.

    And that is exactly why it’s not a good idea. If you are a former porn addict like everyone on these forums then you will invariably mentally associate the act of fapping to looking at porn. It is then all too easy to slip right back into old habits. Jerking off to images whether it is mental or physical and regardless of whether it is someone you know or not is fantasizing and that is not healthy. If you can fap without any mental imagery then you’re a better man than I. But it all comes down to getting off to false stimuli and not the real deal.

    Dude. Just don't stop now. Find something exiting to do. Get you a Skateboard or Rollerblade or a bike or a horse or go for hiking trips or get in to swimming club or art or music instruments or something like that. Don't just have sex with you're had and wate time ejaculating to garbage

    I don't think it's a good idea. I had a streak of over 100 days. I thought it would be ok to masturbate as long as I didn't watch porn, but I didn't find masturbating to my imagination that exciting, so I relapsed not too long after that. Now I'm back to almost daily porn use.

    You're right! I'm so sick of putting myself through this misery. I'm done with porn for good.

    Keep that energy even if you fall again!!! Because that will help you get up faster and is good to know the truth! And that it's that you will do this. It's not doubt about that.

  20. Try to avoid going back to masturbating, this will most definitely lead you to relapse! I also felt this way the last time I managed to go past 90+ days. The feeling of blue balls I thought it would be okay to masturbate just once to release it...

    But it’s a trap! You start thinking about how good it felt. And then you remember what watching porn feels like. If you can get this feeling from just thoughts and imagination, porn will be the next level you think. Before you know it you are back to your porn days again and you have undone and completely forgotten why you stopped in the first place. All logic and rationale leaves your mind, one moment of illogical thinking leads to weeks or months of binging over porn again. Dejavu...

    Meet real girls have relationships and sex with them. That is progression. Masturbating is regression.
