    I haven’t read 50 shades but it’s supposed to be explicit in the way of detail, it is actually a fetish to get turned on by reading sex stories, it’s up to you but don’t think to deeply when reading it

    Garbage in, garbage out - it sounds like your brain is trying to invent a way to get you back into PMO. I think it's smut; women are into this type of thing. A man should not be reading such garbage.
     
  4. I don't wanna read 50 shades that was just an exemple.
    But just saying that it is ok to just read erotic story, because it is not the same thing as watching porn with is the worst thing to do.
    But just reading a book can't be bad for anyone, you don't think ?

    The danger for many on this site is that it may be a trigger into visual P...

    Yes, it's porn. All erotica is porn and so are audio files. If it gets you aroused, it's porn.

    This is your brain trying to rationalize getting it's fix and not breaking the rule.
     
  7. Yes but i really don't wanna watch porn, i think i just need something to stimulate my imagination.
    Then if i buy a book there is no risk of trigger i guess...
     
  8. Aren't you to rude ? A book even if it is erotical is not like porn.

    Being arroussed by a book can't make any damage to your brain.
    I'm totaly ok with the fact that pornography damaged your brain, but we can't says that just reading is dangerous and not healthy.

    It's not as bad as porn but it's still the same category.

    It doesn't matter what arouses you a book, a sound file, a picture, a gif or a movie or sexual fantasizing. You still get aroused in the end by something that is not human, you can dose the arousal and keep it going for very long periods of time.

    Reading doesn't damage your brain. Reading erotica does damage your brain. Just not as bad as actual porn.

    The reason it's similar is because words evoke images and feelings. That's what an erotic novel is designed to do and the writers themselves are basically hypnotists conjuring up things from your mind to put you in a sexual state. Know what happens when you go into a sexual state? Behaviors you don't want follow that.

  12. But... porn actress are human for example. And in porn you are turn on by thing who are completly human.

    Nothing is more human than beinf excited by a woman. But the bad thing in porn is not porn, it is the use you make of it.

    Abuse of porn and being addicted to porn, this is the bad thing.

    So reading a book or story can't make you addicted, and even if you are, that will not destroy your brain, that will able you to develop your imagination.

    While reading a book your brain work.

    No, porn actresses are images. Sex fantasies are ideas in your head. So are erotic stories. That's very far away from human.

    A woman is a woman only if it's near you and breathing. The only point of arousal is to engage in sex if you actually have a willing woman near you. Rest of it is just sustaining abnormal arousal and unhealthy pleasure.
     
  14. I think you're all right. Thank you very much for answer me.

    You have expressed some opinions that are worrying. But it seems you accept the advice you have been given - good. :)

    Porn - refers to books, magazines, and films that are designed to cause sexual excitement by showing naked people or referring to sexual acts. <- That is the dictionary definition of porn. It can be read, heard and/or seen, it's ALL porn man.

    We are here because we have an addiction to fake sex: we are alone, fucking our hand, getting stimulated sexually by written words, erotic sounds and videos on a screen of others having sex. To break this addiction we must stop it ALL.
     
  16. whatever triggers you in a bad way, in a way that you are affected, is porn for you. You decide.

    I had this thing that I would watch videos of female feet because I believed it is not porn. Well, I get a hard on watching this while other people would not get at all what this is all about. I realised it is wrong for me to watch videos of female feet while you just might get bored.
     
  17. Erotica is textual pornography. It activates the same areas of your brain as indulging through it visually. The medium by which the pleasure is transported does not matter, it can be visual, audiological, kinaesthetic, etc., but it still ultimately results in pleasure being derived and thusly creates addictive behaviour if abused.

    This is a very good example that gets the point across. No matter how many times somebody else explains that erotica,gifs, audio etc is equivalent to porn (maybe not that bad), your example shows why it is so.

    We each have certain arousal triggers. If we use them, they're equivalent to porn.

    The sooner we understand this the better. I spent years "outsmarting nofap" finding technicalities on what is or is not "porn".

    Everything can be porn. Sexual fantasies are still porn. I personally can get off on fantasies alone even better than with porn. Therefore i have to stop sex fantasizing.

    Erotica was one of the first things I tried to cheat nofap with, even if i very rarely used it before nofap. I reduced porn but erotica increased substantially. Then I reduced erotica and switched to porn gifs (I rationalized it's ok cause it's not video and audio lol). Then I switched to mentally fantasizing. The mind truly does just about anything to get it's fix.
