Try finding your goal first. Then see if PMO is doing harm to it. If you can't find a goal then try your best to aim for one. Even a short one would work. Like, hitting the gym every week for the next 2 months.
I do NoFap because, PMO hampers my thought processes, makes me feel unmotivated, makes me tired and blinds me from seeing the worth of having the life that I currently have.
I was only doing NoFap originally because I thought it would get me laid. When I found out women didn't care anyway I realised that all my streaks were lies.
When I watched porn earlier today, I realised that I could only get aroused by the harder and more explicit scenes. I saw a clothed woman and I felt completely disconnected from her.
Many come here with that thought, rarely does it happen to be true. Anything done in life doesn't guarantee the anticipated results. Same goes here, same goes everywhere.
I see people who have had streaks of 90+ days on here and I feel worthless compared to them. I wonder how they can come that far and I can't. Yesterday I relapsed because I felt hopeless compared to them.
Porn creates unrealistic expectations about sex. Sex is not porn and porn is not sex. If you can't get aroused by normal stuff then it is clear that your brain needs repairs. It's dopamine tolerance has gotten high. It is not a good sign.
I started reading Your Brain on Porn by Gary Wilson and I he stated that people who had started rapping to high speed internet open during puberty need 9 months to recover. It feels physically impossible for me to go that long without PMO, but I'm so addicted that there's no way I can do it in moderation. Even without the internet. I'll still MO multiple times a day to scenes I've watched in the past.
