    i have been doing nofap for 18 days now and having a lot of depression during the whole streak, I have been talking to people to because I am now willing to have sex, maybe sex would help the depression? I don't know? When I talk to the people to hook up with them I always get excited though and I see there nude pictures and stuff, does this interaction make nofap invalid? I don't know I just want to maintain happiness again.

    It's called porn sub's. Talking to people and looking at nudes is just fueling the fire to your recovery.

    You are taking the wrong approach, man. Stop watching nude photos, stop trying to date, stop trying to have sex. Just stop!
    Take the time to better yourself and win the war...you are just going to delay your curing with this mentality.

    okay, thanks for the thoughts, i just feel like it's necessary for me to have some kind of sexual outlet to not be majorly depressed, I hate feeling so bad a majority of the time.

    Listen, I've been down this road multiple times and having sex or any sexual thing at all, during the reboot, won't make you less depressed. I know that for a fact.
    All you will have from that, is some chaser effect that will put you back to relapse and the cycle will repeat.

    I'm also on day 18, and I know what you are going through, completely.
    My advice to you: start doing something for yourself instead of seeking pleasure from the outside world.
    Lately I'm exercising everyday and it helps me almost immediately, I feel better about myself.
    I'm starting to be more careful with my food, preparing and having more variety and again I feel better.
    Go for walks, you will see other things on the outside and won't feel constantly needing to check internet...there are HUGE triggers there.
    Befriend somebody, talk about general stuff....

    Thanks for the advice, yeah I eat extremely healthy and get a lot of exercise, and am trying to better myself, once the 90 days is up I think I will try and find a steady partner but not before I think my brain needs time to heal after all the years of chronic fapping, the urges are definitely getting stronger though I keep reminding myself it's not worth it.
