Defeated porn but keep relapsing with masturbation

Hey Brother...even I am facing the same problems and therefore I came to this new website. Lets face it together and keep discussing with each other at regular intervals. Will help each other to get through this. Please let me know about your problems specifically and I will also share mine so that we could get through this together. I am also looking for an accountability partner.

 

Yes brother...lets discuss everyday about our day and the triggers which lead on to our masturbation problem. Can we connect personally? Please share your thoughts and views to my everyday on a regular basis!

 

It's a trap . Even 500+ streakers break up due to the false confidence that they are free. You are not free. I hope you don't learn it the hard way

 

First, awesome about the move away from PMO! Be proud of that.

If you look at this as a struggle, it will be a struggle. Don't put a lot of pressure on yourself. You are just putting unneeded mental strain on yourself. Loosen yourself up. Breathe, stretch your shoulder, your neck, and your arms, and just live. Don't live against masturbating, you are only giving the act more power. Just live happily. Be joyful. The urges come, calmly tell yourself, "no thank you". Or something to that effect.

Remember to live! It doesn't matter if you will have made streaks in the hundreds if you weren't able to be joyful. If you went all that time without M-ing but you are a mental mess during that time, well that is just as bad as M-ing. Life is no sweeter.

Your mentality in your acts is what brings about joy.

 

that's half true!
Most of us are hooked on the extreme dopamine "rush" that comes with viewing hardcore porn.
That why we view it for hours on end before we allow ourselves to orgasm, and effectively end the dopamine rush.

 

OP, I can totally relate as well. P is not an issue for me, but M is a weekly struggle at this point. Keep moving forward-one step at a time and we’ll get there!

 

I have the samd issue with you guys I am far away from porn go 8 months now and not even a urge but with mo is hard
I can stop it I get to this dilemma again and again masturbating or no and I think I must take the serious disicion now because this drives me crazy i am bored of this nofap and then mo comes again and then again and again the same is like i am in an endless loop
Is hard to take the disicion not to masturbate never again but I have to take the disicion because this is what I need and want guys

 

I feel like masturbation has nothing to give me anymore than just a moment of pleasure but this pleasure I can get it from sex with a woman not alone
I want to live freely without thinking tonight I will fap without wasting time and sleep at night
yeah sure masturbation is a good thing and healthy according to scientists but for me is not, I think is not something that benefits me
Do you feel the same guys?

 

Same thing here, porn was much easier to quit than masturbation. The best way to avoid that is keeping a routine that makes you feel fulfilled by the end of the day, going to bed feeling that "ive done nothing today" and struggling with PMO is not easy at all

 

Paradoxically, One has to become ok with relapsing while at the same time strive to be the true man that we know we are. And it doesn't matter how many times we relapse. We just keep getting up. If it takes years then it takes years. Nobody just decides to quit and then that's it. We all relapse-- especially if we are in our younger years... But if the desire to be free of the lustful compulsion is strong in us then we will be free in this lifetime. That's all that matters. It doesn't matter exactly when... It just matters that we will be free if we keep honoring our desire to be free. If we constantly try to stay conscious whenever we act out in ways that we don't want to act out in and taste the bad fruits from such actions then we will stop doing it at some point. Something inside will just shift and this compulsion will dissolve and then that will be it...
