    What's up guys, I'm Jacob. I'm 23. I started my journey of quitting pornography and masturbation exactly 3 weeks ago, alongside completely quitting drinking alcohol, and I've been feeling on top of the world, of course. Every aspect of my life is improving and I feel alive and in control again. I'm going to continue on my streak, without a doubt. I don't really have much desire to watch porn, but I do have urges to masturbate quite frequently, especially since my man parts are definitely bigger and more "full" if you know what I mean. I've also been eating a very healthy "testosterone increasing" diet along with working out, so overall I just feel like a freaking animal. I love it.

    My issue is this.. My confidence with approaching and attracting women has increased a lot, but, I can tell that this "confidence" is rooted in a desperation for sex. I think about sex with basically every woman I come into contact with. For example, I just started a new job and have only worked 2 days now, but have already exchanged numbers with two girls (who have openly expressed their attraction for me) and I have played through "strategies" in my mind continuously about how to get them in my bed. It's consuming my thoughts. I guess I feel as if my brain is trying to swap the pornography habit over to real life itemization of women, and this isn't the kind of man that I want to be. Yet, good lord, I would love to be having my way with a woman, in my bed, right now.

    Sex is important in a man's life, of course. But I don't want it to be the driving force of my thoughts and actions, because I'm starting to feel like it is becoming that.

    Any advice from more experienced Fapstronauts, and really anyone, is highly appreciated. Thanks!

    Jacob

    You have to decide what your overall goal is with nofap. You don't really fit the profile of most people on this site who struggle with loneliness, isolation, social anxiety or other side effects of pornography. If your goal is avoiding porn and masturbation then you're doing well and sex (providing it's not impacting any other parts of your life) shouldn't be an issue.

    Personally, I would recommend going for the full 30 days before making any decisions. Your first 30 days is a good accomplishment.
