Do you ever get the feeling that you are missing out when you avoid porn content?

    Do you sometimes get the feeling where you think I am missing out not masturbating to that porn content, to those psubs?

    The reality is you are not missing out at all. You might be missing out if you aren't having sex with a woman, if you aren't getting intimate with a woman, if you aren't seeing a woman in real life etc.

    But the reality is you are not missing out at all when you are not masturbating to porn content, when you are not masturbating to psubs.

    Unless it's real you are not missing out on anything.

  2. Sure, I sometimes wonder if there are any new good videos. Then if I go back, I realize - no, there aren't really. Then I wind up jerking off to something I've already seen 50+ times.

    You are spot on - the real stuff is worth giving up porn for.

    It's one of the tricks the industry has perfected. You wonder what's out there now, what new girl/scene just got posted. But remember it's all the same poison and that you're not missing a thing. My hope is to one day look back at porn in complete disgust.
     
  4. I don't think it has to become disgusting, but rather your attitude just changes to one of apathy. That's how I was on my big streak - just didn't seem interesting anymore.

    How long did it take you to reach that point of apathy? I know it's not an overnight thing for most.

    Yeah I wouldn't say I find it disgusting. But I don't find it overall anywhere near as exciting as I used to.

    The bottom line is it's crap and a waste of time. Potentially ruining your life over masturbating to that rubbish. Or not living as good a life as you could of over masturbating to that rubbish.

    It's just really stupid and pointless when I think about it.

    Apathy / Lazyness is right on the money. I’m extremely picky with any content, so when I was watching porn habitually I would spend half an hour or more trying to find the “holy grail” porn clip. Usually it would be when I procrastinated.

    It’s become a “do I really want to procrastinate and scroll and scroll and scroll, endlessly for this clip?, then probably not have energy for a few hours?”

    Now I’m trying to think the same way when I’m procrastinating with Netflix or anything else lol. Ugh.. the darn struggle continues.

    I used to get anxious waiting for the rare free time to seek out new material. So glad I don't care anymore. I consider that a step in the right direction.

    After 6 years of nofap porn is an absolute joke now, it’s so fake and tacky and disgusting. These days a picture of a woman with no clothes on is tempting for me because women are extremely attractive to me, so I have to be careful not to get off on those sort of pictures, this is why I came off Instagram. Because a woman’s body is amazing, I appreciate it more after giving up porn. But yes porn videos and p subs is just like taking a bite out of an apple that’s rotting inside, may look good but is very unsatisfying in the long run.
     
  14. One thing is for certain, once you go and check what's new on porn site is just another way to miss out of the greatness of being in control of your life...
