No PMO is too difficult for me, how about just no P?

I'm not sure about it, but yes, you can reboot only by not watching porn. However, it will take much more time, and it will be more complicated as well since you allow yourself to masturbate, which can lead you to watch porn and fantasize about it.

Just do what you think is right mate. Stay strong.

 

Welcome to the site, and good luck!

 

Welcome to the site! I suppose you can reboot without quitting masturbation. It seems like you have things under control right now with masturbation. If things get out of hand, well you know what to do. Just take a decision on what you feel is necessary and stick to it. You may be Werner Heisenberg but you must never have uncertainty in your decision. Good luck!

 

We at NoFap don't dogmatically say that you have to stop masturbating. We do encourage one another to stop masturbating, but that is not for everyone. If you want to just get away from pornography, then do it. Do it at your own speed. Who knows, maybe in a few months you will be porn free.

 

I would suggest to stop everything and let your brain and body heal in a natural way. build a stable life filled with hobbies and friends to share and be happy about small things in life, be emotional and feel good.

 

At the beginning when quitting full pmo feels impossible it is better than nothing in my opinion. You might get to a stage were you do full no pmo and if your current approach helps you get there than why not. Just be aware, as others have said, your current approach takes longer to get better. Good luck with whatever you decide!

 

I would be cautious. 4 days ago I MO'd without the P, (after 18 days of no PMO) and it was similar to your experience. I was stressed and self-conscious about some stuff in my personal life, so I rationalized a lot with myself after making that decision.

I've heard of "PMO Autopsy's" or whatever the legitimate term is, and I did that for when I MO'd. How did I get here, why did I get here, what happened, how did I feel before, during, and after, etc. I feel like this really helped me, as I felt a certain degree of shame from doing this just because I was on a 18 day streak of not MO'ing. Writing about times like these really help me pin down times when I feel weak, depressed, etc; and how I almost always would go to porn to numb myself.

For me the first 3 or 4 days were really hard to get past, physically. Have a lot of discipline and stay strong! All "superpower" talk aside it does make a difference. I don't know your habits or willpower but to me I believe it would be a slippery slope back to porn.

22 days free of PMO, 4 days free of MO. (As much as it kinda hurts to say, but the fact I'm not giving up is the important part!) Take it easy.

 

@Protector of Hope I was about to tell the same thing buddy..

 

I agree with @Mo1989 , Because you may think that No p will be easy but to be honest, i think noPMO is the easiest, we have hard time in it even when we don't M or O, and if you choose to simply stop watching P and continue to O and M, you will be having Major urges which will make your life even more difficult in NoFap,

But hey, everyone is different and that's just my opinion, I am very happy that you at least took the decision to act on your problem, You are half way there. now you just have to Heal.

Welcome to Nofap, Wish you good luck.

 

Hello! New guy here. I have tried no P method, I have tried no M method and I have even tried giving up everything. So far I have failed. Wishing for a new start this time around. Fingers crossed.

 

Wish you luck.

Welcome to Nofap.

 

Thank you.
