    So, I haven't relapsed to pixelated hardcore porn in 4 months and have been rebooting since the beginning of the year. I had nightfall last night, and I know I shouldn't reset but should it concern me? I have been frequenting dating sites not for the purpose of browsing sexy pictures but to actually find women to hang out with and help me rewire. Do you think that going on these sites purely for the purpose of meeting women is a problem? I only check the sites a couple times a day.
     
  2. If you are seeking a real person and not there just to ogle I would think it would be fine. What happens when your sleeping shouldn't worry you, you can't stop it.
    If you are spending a lot of time staring at things as your looking through and you feeling it affecting certain behavior you might want to find a way to stop.

    I should have mentioned I have PIED. Does that change your answer at all? My EQ is actually better but get random boners and morning wood rarely.
     
  4. It wouldn't change my answer as as the searches aren't a psub to edge.
    You can't control what your body does in your sleep. Don't worry.
    It sounds like things are improving, that is good to hear and should be great motivation for you.
     
  5. Get off dating sites and social media. If you're gonna go throught withdrawal, you might as well stack all the odds in your favor. Trust me, the last year for me has been a constant back and forth between fapping and nofap and it's pretty much worse than just fapping. Because now I know that there is something better than my current situation. Hang in there brother

    The trouble is it's much harder for me to meet women off of dating sites. I will do some networking through people i already know, but im generally just trying to do whatever i can to get the rewiring process underway as regular sex is not currently being attempted.
     
  7. Oh I wasn't even thinking about rewiring. I'm pretty sure your brain will automatically do that when you take time off porn. It's like when people stop watching porn, they all of a sudden get boners just by seeing a fully clothed girl on the bus or something. hmm, idk man, it's your call. I'd take time off everything.

    Two sides to this... 1. By not frequenting dating sites you give yourself the best chance of a full and successful reboot however, 2. I would not say you need to literally live like a monk.
    Using the sites is ok IMO if your intentions are honest?
