    Well, it's just that I'm bored and tired of failed relationships so I decided to stop trying. I really need a break. The problem is I have a huge sex drive, I found that out thanks to MO. So since I decided to be single, I started relapsing without porn. Any advice on this?
     
  2. You need to strenghten your will. Look for the real reasons behind your sex drive. Often it is based on boredom or loneliness.

    Replace PMO with hobbies. Read a book, do some sports. There are so many better things to do.

    If you have a plan and you keep stopping PMO for a longer time, your sex drive will get better.
     
  3. Engage in activities that you enjoy that get you out of the house. Also activities/hobbies that involve reading up on to get better. That way when not engaged in the activities you’ll be spending time reading about them or watching videos about them.

    You’ll be engaged in something constructive instead of engaging in viewing porn.

  5. In my opinion sex drive comes deep from the inside. You can't replace it, you can only supress it by keeping yourself busy all the time. But suppression is never a good idea. I think it's better to learn how to control your sex drive.
    By the way, a life without sex drive seems pretty boring to me. You decide how to channel it

    What do you mean by "better"? More or less intense?

    I don't want to be hard but why can't a girl commit to celibacy while accomplishing dreams? You might be still deep into porn if you think girls don't think about something else or can't do anything but having sex. I wish you recover and change your mind.

    Hi! What helps me lower my sex drive is fasting, cold showers and I'm sorry you're going to find this gross but leaving my hairs on my sexual part. I noticed that whenever I shaved or waxed down there, blood flow increased there and my sex drive as well as wet dreams doubled. I thought I was the only one until one day I read online that many other people were experiencing this and scientists were still not able to explain it but were looking into it. You can also make yourself always busy (hobby, sport, ..). Anyways if you do those 4 things, I guarantee you it will help cuz it did for me :)

  13. I have no idea how the ladies sex drive works, that shit is magical.

    I would try meditation, and learn to work with your sexual energy. You can't let it control you, but you can't control it either.

  14. I can only tell how it was with me. Before NoFap I PMOed 3 times a day. But now I mostly have no problem to be abstinent for days. And this is my first long streak. I went from 100% to 0%. I have a long distance relationship so when I meet my gf we have sex. Often more then once. But in the time, when we don't meet I have less problems to control myself. Sure, there are urges, but I can control them better now.

    To be honest I am not sure how it is with sex addiction. And I don't know if it will work for you too, but in my opinion being abstinent for more then 30 days helps really much.

    I've got the same issue, fapping out of boredom. Meditation + guided meditation and hypnotherapy from youtube helps. I also reduced the numbers per week I fap, from multiple times a day to once every few days and now the urges are waaay lower and I'm ready for a serious streak.
     
  17. Make clear for yourself the reason why do you want to stop masturbating. If you don't, then you will have hard time resisting when the subconscious mind unleashes the "demons" in the long run.
    Also, try to become more aware of the things that ignite the arousal. That should give you first of all, an idea what to possibly avoid. It might too shed a light on the deeper reason why you get horny often. Maybe there is some issue that needs to be dealt with?

    I recommend daily prayer and meditation. Exercising also helps me get rid of extra pent up energy.
