There's only one way to success in NOFAP. HARD MODE!

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by sonic123rainbow, May 7, 2020.

  1. Hard mode is the only way to success in Nofap Since if you do any of those things you will get chaser effect which will make one other mode even harder than the "Hard mode". If you watch porn and then go on and do other things, it will make harder to not watch second time and it will give you dopamine boost, which will slow your healing progress. I have made this mistake many times until I went to semen retention forums and there were memes about nofap easy mode and medium mode. On semen retention forums they believe, that those other mode's only make your journey harder and longer.

    And porn fishing was a problem for me also. Then I tryed all kinds of blocking methods. But it didn't fix the problem, so one must not try to fix inner problems with outer solutions.

    Just quit watching porn and imagine you were living in Africa without food.

    Well its certainly the easiest I think. I also ways relapse following looking up a P star. By shutting out even the concept of porn I've been able to have longer streaks.

    You’re not married? It may be easier, or it might not. I think it depends on the individual. My husband needed it, because like you said, the chaser after sex was making it really hard for him to stay clean. However, some men on here say hard mode makes it more difficult.

  5. Yes not married and it may be easier or not, but for my argument.
    The chaser effect is real and hard mode should not have chaser effect for long.
    Easy and medium modes have chaser effect atleast when, I have tryed and what I have read here.
    So if you are lonely man like me, then you should to the hard mode since it's the easiest.
    But if you are married, then I cannot speak for you since I haven't been in your place.
    I can only offer my humbles opinions and best of wishes.

    I actually tend to agree with you that hard mode might make it easier. It’s what the professional’s advise after all. I don’t however, think it’s the only way. Unfortunately, you may end up dealing with a chaser even after hard mode once you start having regular sex. My husband is 1.5 years clean and will sometimes still get a chaser after we have sex. So, it’s something you will eventually have to learn to deal with.

    Well, he’s been clean over two years and I don’t think he did hard mode due to being married.
     
  9. Cannot argue any further, I agree.
     
  10. Well didn't say he/she was wrong, but one word saying that something is not true is one of the meanest things in universe.
     
  11. Yes easiest and most fast. If you want to make your journey more fast I would recommend 1 day of dopamine detox.
    I cannot proof to you that any of that dopamine detox works, but I welt amazing after that one day and everything seemed fun afterwards.

    He literally quoted you that “ hard mode was the only way to success” then wrote one word to disagree. Life rarely has absolutes, there is almost always an exception. Disagreeing in one word is not mean, telling someone they have no brains and insulting them is immature and mean.

  13. Probably yes, but one can be immature and mature, one can agree and disagree at same time. But one must do those with good arguments. Good arguments aren't "nonsense". Good arguments come from imagination and knowledge, but saying "nonsense" when disagreeing is not very brainy and imaginative, so my argument holds. He/she is not very smart in this instance.

    When an alcoholic wants to give up drinking he gives up all alcohol .

  15. Yes, and these easy and medium mode's are like drinking wine when trying to quit alcohol.

    The analogy I find useful is alcohol and tonic water. If you are trying to give up alcohol, should you give up tonic water too? I'd say it would depend on the alcoholic. For some tonic water would prove a healthy alternative to alcohol when they want something with a grown-up taste to share with friends at a bar, for others the taste would immediately remind them of gin and tempt them back to alcohol. There's no right answer, experiment and find what works. I think masturbation is a positive healthy thing but it does not work for me because it tempts me back to porn.
