    To get to the point i used to a few years back be real addicted i would mastrubate 5-7 times a day i did nofap a few times a few days here a few weeks there sometimes a month always would relapse tho longests i have gone would be 65 days

    im confused if im still addicted i don't feel addicted anymore but im not sure like for the past year or so i didnt really focus on fapping or not fapping i just did it occasionally i think maby 3-4 times a week max? sometimes not at all but no more daily i knew that for sure and if i would do it more then once daily i would only do it 2-3 times max but that was rarely sorry i smoked alot of weed past year like daily i quit now 2 months sober but everythings a bit blurry from last year

    i know for sure tho that back in the day i would mastrubate daily and do it compulsively and with negative consquenses escalation to extreme porn,etc but i don't have that anymore i mean if i do it 3 times a day then yeah i could mastrubate to some more extreme shit but then if i just don't fap for a few days i dont feel the urge to watch it again and mostly its just vanilla

    im asking this because i tried doing NoFap again at the 7th day i just was so horny that i mastrubated and then some not really a binge but 3 times again the thing is i can restrain from porn but not for a extended period of time i had the same problem when i was doing nofap those years back 2 weeks in or a month in a would become so horny and could not concentrate on anything and fapping released that and made me feel better

    do i really need to do nofap insnt mastrubating in moderation healthy maby i am still doing it a little to much so would i still see some benefits if i do it once a week? not more not less i feel like that is something i can atleast keep at because doing nofap would always made me feel like shit after relapse cuz i had to start all over again and i know for a fact that abstaining from any form of sexual relief for 3 months is mental anguish for me and not possible for me atleast
    i dunno opinions?

    If you want to quit and can't then it's an addiction. If the addiction is causing negative consequences in your life then you should deal with it.

    Try doing this sexual inventory. Be Honest With yourself

    one of the reasons the last year may have been easier is because of the weed smoking. you have filled one vice with another.
    I did the same thing. I thought, "hey I watched a lot of P back in the day, but now that I'm older I'm good."
    Turns out, once I stopped smoking weed (which I now get drug tested for job, so I have to quit.) the Porn cravings came back with a vengence.

    If you do get up to 90 or 150 days, those crazy cravings (loss of focus, et cetera) will get waaaaay less intense. like once every few weeks, instead of every moment.

    You are going through withdrawl symptoms.
