Is the NoFap challenge only for those who are addicted?

    Every time I sign in on this forum, I see addiction and that kind of buzzwords.
    That I have the feeling that I am maybe at the wrong place or interpretating it incorrectly..

    I fapped before the challenge 3 a 4 times a week, but I don't felt like an addict. When are we as a person truly addicted?

    The reason that I started this challenge was about achieving this mental state and having more control about the things I do.

    What do you all think? This question is more out of curiosity and not to start a riot lol.
     
  2. I feel like there is addiction and habit and random use. It all depends on the person and what they are doing and how much this has control over them or not. Just like people can have a drink as others "have" to have a drink.
    So nope, you don't have to be an addict.

    You don't think you are addicted,only because you haven't developed to that stage,but you are heading down that way if you keep ignoring this problem.
    I was once at your level,but then it went from about 5 times a week to 5 times a day. Same principle can be applied to drug usage.
    It is always better to identify a problem at an early stage, you are truely lucky.

    I wasn't necessarily addicted to porn when I started here, nor did I have PIED (porn-induced erectile dysfunction) or anything like that, though I do think I was slightly addicted to jerking it, I have had the 'death grip' problem, where a sex partner couldn't get me to finish before they tired out, because my body has gotten so used to my own exact technique, and that's a problem with or without porn. But when I look back at it, the more frequently I used porn the less satisfied I would be and the weirder the would get. Any time I went without for a while I would enjoy much more vanilla stuff again, and I feel healthier that way. So this site is good for me, and it can be good for you too.

    I feel really bad for my late reply. Sorry for that... I completely agree with you on this point. I noticed that I use it as an mechanism to coop with stress. Somehow I'm now more aware of it when I feel the urge to fap. Instead of fapping, just ignore it or I'm going for a walk. Replace it with a good habit instead.
