    I need some people to reiterate that sexting is THE SAME THING AS PORN.
    Some how and in some way, my mind has tried to train itself to believe that sexting is okay since it's with a real person that can respond. But I know it's still just compulsive and a manifestation of the addiction.

    Help me get it clear in my head with some advice or maybe even some articles and videos. Please.

    It all falls under the umbrella of sex addiction. Porn, prostitutes, massage parlors, chat rooms, sexting, ect....You are getting high on your own dopamine and adrenaline.

  4. It's exactly the same. I still struggle with it, because as you said, it seems innocuous since it doesn't involve watching porn directly. It's just as addictive and time consuming and emotionally draining.

    Get to the nofap chopper.. cause arnold is right. It doesnt give the same dopamine rush but it can definately make your reboot slow down or even harsh your progress. I suggest to stop it

    it has to do with the brain's rewiring.
    You are defeating yourself if you quit porn and continue other edging activities .
    It will delay the recovery.
