25 years old, time for NoFap

Hi guys,

I'm 25 years old and have been masturbating almost daily or every other day since I've been about 13 years old. Quarantaine and working from home in the past few months even upped my frequency to 3+ times a day. So many evenings and weekend days were wasted with mindlessly watching Youtube videos and masturbation. I felt like I was high all the time because of all the dopamine release. Constantly in a state of pleasure, but never feeling happy. Frequent masturbation feels literally like a drug.

I tried NoFap before two months ago. After a week I felt very alert and concious of so many negative emotions and extreme tension, which was originally hidden by my brain fog of daily masturbation. It was too much for me to handle, and so I relapsed and masturbated my emotions away.

Hopefully I will be able to push through these negative feelings this time. I feel like the trick is to find activities and things to do in my free time which lead me away from my computer. When I'm browsing the web and watching Youtube, not doing anything of value, the tendency to masturbate becomes too big. I should pickup a hobby, stay busy and hang out with friends instead. Let's see if I'll be able to succeed and reach my first goal of 30 days NoFap

 

I haven't. It isn't really the porn which I'm addicted to. It's purely the dopamine release. Nevertheless probably a good idea to use blockers anyway.
