    I relapsed on porn and artificial sexual stimulation yesterday after an 8 day streak and I found the porn really boring. What would cause this to happen?

    Usually I feel in pure ecstasy and get extreme pleasure and excitement when I relapse. But yesterday I hardly got any of that and it just felt boring.

    Why did this happen? Will this always be the case for me now?

    I feel like if this is the case then it will be quite easy giving up porn.

    how about you stop asking yourself such questions. no need to understand that. what is important to understand, is, what made u relapse in the first place? identify the trigger, set a plan how you will cope with it in the future.

    Beware of Chaser effect. Brain will trick you into relapsing again to why you were bored last time. Good luck

    More like pathetic, looser lifestyle....
    Watching other people having sex for money, without love, or connection or any other chemistry... And jerk your Snake to it??? Wow, how could i have been addicted to this evil, wicked, fake looser PMO industry for 8 years is mystery for me. But pain is the best teacher.

    Nofap = happiness, confidence, motivation, inner peace, Energy. And eternal glory.

    PMO= SLAVERY, Loser life, Depression, unhappiness, no motivation, no fire in your eyes, no self esteem, no confidence
     
  6. I've had the same experiences. It made me realise that not all relapses are sexually motivated, sometimes you just watch pornography out of pure nihilism.

    My last relapse to watching pornography was in August 2019 and then after 138 Days. At the end of year 2019 i relapsed, but without watching pornography, regular Masturbation.
    But still, it was mistake, not worth it.
    But regular fapping is better than that poison called Porn.

    That was exactly how I felt yesterday.

    I used to wonder how guys manage to live a pornfree life after using it for so long. But the way I felt yesterday when I relapsed if I felt like that every time I relapsed or most times I relapsed I could actually see how a pornfree life is possible.

    I used to feel like I was in pure ecstasy when I relapsed, getting extreme pleasure, excitement and enjoyment. But yesterday I didn't experience anything like that.

    Another thing I was thinking is surely the damage is going to be much different from feeling like you're in pure ecstacy, getting extreme pleasure, excitment and enjoyment vs getting none of that and finding it boring.

    Surely the damage from the first one is going to be much greater than the second one?

    Thanks brother.
    You will be there as well
    Sooner or later.
    But my advice to you is to delete all PMO collection. Delete all searching history on your browser you Know if tap P to your keybord and the First thing is P....... You Know what i mean.
    Delete all bookmarked favourite P videos and install some adult/p*rn/sexual filter which will not allow you to reach that website, maybe good idea is to install many of them. And Google Chrome have this option... Safe search So if i write Porn nothing will be found, no videos, no pictures, no websites, no bullshit its eternal peace.
    Same goes with your phone.
    Also quit or very very limit time on social media. Facebook, instagram, snapchat, YouTube all this bullshit is giving you nothing but a waste of your precious time. I only use messenger

    @skaterdrew, let me ask you a couple of questions.

    When you get the urge to relapse, is it because you're horny or is it because you just really want to look at porn? When you get the urge, are you hard at this point?

    There's a couple of reasons you may have found porn boring when looking at it again. One is that you may have been beginning to flatline and by looking at porn you interrupted the process, the other is that you're just becoming desensitised by what you're watching. Either way you really need to stop, I know you know that but there's no other way around it if you want to fix any issues you're experiencing.

    Sometimes I have wanted to look at it because I have felt sky high horny and got an intense urge to search and view it and masturbate to it, and I have been hard a lot of times. But then other times like yesterday I feel like I just done it out of boredom and didn't even enjoy it.

    I prefer feeling bored by it and not even getting turned on or excited by going on it.

    I feel like if I always felt like this then it is going to be pretty easy to quit.
     
  14. Great advice. Social media is destroying our world. In particular it does not make abstinence from porn any easier.

    The way I feel the now is I am bored, I'm not finding much things that exciting or enjoyable. But at one time when I felt this way porn still really exited me and I still found it really enjoyable. But now I feel like porn is also boring.

    But I actually don't feel that bad mentally. I have felt much worse mentally. I just feel unmotivated to do anything and I'm not really finding anything that appealing to pursue or engage in. I even have felt this way about porn recently.

    I have had a few drinks, and I guess alcohol does sometimes somewhat still interest me, but not that much. Eating tasty food sometimes does somewhat interests me. But earlier on I randomly got a thought that I could go a smoke of weed. I've not smoked weed in a long time, and earlier on I got a random thought that I could go some weed.

    It's as if I am searching for something, and wanting something that I find really enjoyable.

    At one time PMOing sometimes literally felt like pure ecstasy to me. I used to get extreme pleasure and enjoyement from it, and I actually wanted to spend my entire day edging and binging on PMO. Basically the way I felt about it is there was nothing else I would rather be doing.

    But like I said recently it's honestly as if I found it boring and not enjoyable.

    Yesterday I got really excited to go on it initially, but then after I was on it I thought it was boring and I wasn't really enjoying it.

    I am hoping this is a good sign.
