    I'm curious to hear different takes on this. I've been attempting nofap but been giving in to cravings a lot, unfortunately. I am getting better, though. I went out with friends yesterday and had a lot to drink, which used to be a surefire way for me to give in when I get home. This time I didn't, but then today the hangover horniness hit me and I did give in, however I at least didn't use porn. I'm not sure how to feel about that and how much better it is than masturbating to porn in the long run. I'm currently reading "Your brain on porn" and I'm very surprised with how lenient the author is about masturbating during the reboot. I probably subconciously used that to convince myself that it's not that bad.

    What are your thoughts?

    Dont do it, it will lead back to porn. This topic pops up every week, search forum because essays are written on this subject.

    It's never too great to masturbate when you're trying to reboot. Porn is typically the gas in the tank while masturbation is the vehicle that gets you to orgasm. So masturbation is really what you need to abstain from to actually reset. Porn is dangerous too. They're both harmful during a reboot. Best of luck to you!

    That would be bad, especially with a vivid memory or imagination. Like the others have said: Don't do it. Our brain will try mental gymnastics to justify it's desires.

    Thank you, guys :) I already felt like porn and masturbation must be linked in my brain and generally it seems like a good idea to abstain from the high I get from orgasms for a while. Really shouldn’t be that difficult and the fact that it is just reaffirms the fact that it’s a proper addiction
