Start with easy mode?

Sure, do what's possible for you. As humans, we should experiment with everything. But one thing you might into is, you will eventually masturbate while watching porn. Your mind will trick you by saying (Hey why not masturbate while you're at it. You can restart the nofap journey later. Just do it for 1 more time). I've been there before. And it held me back for a long time. Eventually I drive straight into hardmode. Now I'm experiencing the benefits. Even if you only watch porn without masturbation. The negative side effects on your brain will still be there. Your brain will make all sorts of excuse for you while watching porn, especially your erection is 100% hard.

I'd say it's 10 times more difficult not to masturbate while you're looking at your favourite porn than actually doing hardmode itself.

 

Even if you fail everyday for 7 days and restart every day you are making progress. Every second, minute or hour you spend without PMO is progress. For example, lasting all day and finally relapsing before bed is better than PMO all day long. Reward yourself for the small wins and eventually they will become longer wins and longer streaks.

 

Easy mode is illusion of easyness. Hard mode is easy mode. So you will have easier time doing hard mode than easy mode, since easy mode has some triggers. And hardmode has none.

 

Totally correct OI @Ancient Wisdom keep going bro!

 

Sorry man but hardcore mode is the only way out check out universal man on youtube. If you keep failing try new habits and learn how to connect with emotions not your phone.
