Dopamine and thinking about sex

Yes, thinking about sex stimulates dopamine.

Just like thinking about food stimulates dopamine.

 

Well the whole point of a reboot is to try and get your brain back to normal. So that means releasing as little dopamine as possible with the porn/sex part. Although it isn't 100% realistic to not ever think about sex. That's pretty impossible unless you're like a veteraned monk, lol.

Just quitting the porn should be enough. Quitting the imagination and masturbation will be a bonus and will likely give better results/quicker.

 

I imagine your primary goal might be to avoid thinking about P fantasy to help eliminate a dopamine reward cycle for P. Everything else may depend on your goals. Are you trying to "rewire" for regular sex with a partner? Perhaps it would be fine to think about sex with that partner, then.

 

As long as when he imagines having sex with a real person, he imagines it the way it should be. A lot of porn addicts think of the girl they like but in a porn type way/scenario. Which is just as bad as watching porn.

 

Agreed
