    So I relapsed after 64 days I was just curious of this vr porn and cause I hadn't watched any p for last 64 days it got me to relapse. The thing is I was watching this all hot videos on YouTube but nothing dragged me to relapse but with porn it was like automatic it's like after years of fap my brain and most on nofap is trained to relapse after porn it's like 100% Its so easy to not get triggered by other videos on YouTube or anything else but with porn it's a different story it's like you can't watch porn after a long streak if u opened anything that involves a man and a women then sooner or later u will relapse. I could have even handled nudes and all but porn it's like it's only aim is to get u relapse. With YouTube videos and possibly nudes(kinda edgy for me too) u can appreciate the beauty and know that this is not made for a fap but porn it's only made for one thing and that fap. So beware my nofap mates with porn convincing yourself to relapse is very easy the moment u choose to watch porn is the moment u have decided to relapse remember I will stress it again once u have opened porn u have choosed to relapse there's no going back don't fool urself saying that u can control urself u can't. Porn is a drug and anything else like those vids on YouTube or anything hot in general in movies doesn't come close to what porn is. Porn is a level 100 monster so never try to play it with it it's best not be challenged.
     
  2. Porn isn't an "entity" or a "monster", nor do they go hand in hand. Watching porn can fuck your life up if it get's out of control, so can chronically masturbating but both are a symptom of something much deeper within the individual if it comes to that. There isn't any "challenge" with porn, the only challenge is to become healthy and discipline yourself while trying to do so.

    A lot of people watch porn and go about their day like it's nothing and still communicate and socialize with others, there's no "monster" anywhere. It's a "thing" that people on this forum, myself included, have consumed more than we should and kept consuming more and more to the point where it became unhealthy, we made it a problem for ourselves because we avoid dealing with the actual problem that we use porn to cover. The quicker people realize this and the quicker people themselves take responsibility for the problem that has occurred, the easier your recovery becomes.

    I totally get the fight mentality however once I started regarding porn as junk food for my brain a lot of the threat was taken away. It became a little bit easier to let go of shame as well as chose not to do it. Just my experience.

    I know for others hey need something to fight against.

    you were curious because you were watching hot videos (edging). you'd want to stay away from that path entirely because that's the point of the reboot. if you're having urges and fantasizing i suggest trying to stop the thought process within 5 seconds. i've had the same problems of starting small, with a photo or two then instagram, then youtube and within 10 minutes you're on the PMO session again.

    cut the problem at it's root and you'll be surprised how fast you will recover

    It’s funny I used to think edging was bad but not as bad as porn but I have found that edging leads back to porn and sometimes it is even worse for me since I’m getting this dopamine fix for hours while I’m edging to psubs. Or I’d pat myself on the back that I was “only edging” not “actually acting out”. These were just lies I’d tell myself...

    Best to avoid it all for me at least!
