    Hallo fellow Fapstronauts,

    above happended when i was around 10 or 12 years old in the bedroom of my parents while they where gone. I´am a guy of 34 years by now and since then i am consuming porn more or less frequent (since my breakup alot more as u may guess).

    The reason why i registered here is beacause i started to notice some annoying behaviour of myself, concerning point of views from good friends while discussing topics like the perception of women, self-esteem and so on. I am not already familiar with the vocabulary of NoFap so i have to fall back describing the problem.

    Long story short:

    1)
    Sexual instinct is blocking me from perceiving women as an individual - eg. not from a sexual perspective. Mostly there are only extremes, not relevant or coveted (This situation is sadly something i am sharing with many of my friends and it spreads from ages 27 - 34).

    2)
    While i am very stressed (Finals for example) somtimes i fall into some kind of "fap-a-thon". It takes ages to find the "right" porn and after i am done, i don´t feel relaxed just exhausted. I mostly do not have control over this behaviour, which means if i am at home and the urge is there i am on it.

    3)
    The overall feeling of surrendering to my own sexual desires without beeing able to listen to myself - it´s just something which needs to be done - yes its fun okay, but its mostly quantity before quality.


    These three points reduce it to the core, and it is really really tiring. There is quite some stuff i didn´t write down, so maybe there will be some opportunity to dive into conversation later on :)

    Thanks for reading,

    PS.: Did i mention me and most of my freinds are computer scientists ? Evil to him who evil thinks. ;)

    Yep, I think this is very common. Certainly the case with me, there's almost infinite choice and you can just click until you find something that does the job.

    Look up the 'coolidge effect' if you haven't already, it explains this very well.

    I can relate with you a lot. Except instead of it happening when I'm stressed it happens when I'm alone. I always feel so terrible afterward and I've been trying to use that (feeling)along with the Emergency bookmark to try and stop myself. Wishing you the best of luck fellow fapstronaut!

    Six days and a sudden wakeup in the night got me to MO. It´s not like that i feel sad - at least it was my own imagination :)

    Most of the time i was feeling empowered by not going back to porn, but since the last few days the weather was very warm, i didn´t feel the urge that much.
    Fun fact - temperature dropped last night about 10 degrees and BAM sex drive comes back. Have to watch out for this situation now, i am warned.

    I wanna retry and will start right now and at least, it was six days without watching porn!
