    I have decided to do a 30 day "hard mode" reboot and have about five days left. It has certainly been a game changer for me. I don't know exactly what to do at the end, but I'm NOT indulging "when the clock strikes midnight". I don't want to lose my gains, and I don't want to go back to heavy porn use, but I am curious what (if any) amount of porn I should consume. Here are my options, please weigh in.

    Use no porn and just my imagination
    Use softcore images and vanilla/solo videos but moderate usage heavily
    Use the heavy stuff and try my hardest to moderate- NOT using multiple tabs

    I have no idea. I'm open to suggestions. Will probably indulge in some type of behavior between day 32 and 35. This has been a very powerful experience for me.

    Hi buddy and welcome to forum.
    Congrats for 25 days(in this moment) don't stop keep pushing.
    My suggestion is to never look back at porn,don't even do imagination,no masturbation and say NO to anything what have sexually stimulation,of course sex is allowed.Because even after masturbation without porn after orgasm you will feel weaker,confused or might even feel the shame.After each relapse time for people need few days or even more to feel better again and to recover from chaser effect.
    1.If you go back for masturbation without porn,just your imagination there is huge chance that you will go back to porn very soon,because you will be more and more addicted with time and you come at time when you have to decide PMO or nothing of sexually stimulation.
    2.Masturbation is very addictive,imagination gives you dopamine rush,not like like porn but enough to cause damage.After few weeks your imagination just can't be enough to you,you will start with porn because it gives you crazy dopamine rush.
    3.Stay away from PMO that thing drains life.

    Thanks for the post. Damn that is hardcore. My life has improved a lot after these few weeks, and the urge to look at "serious" porn has decreased (for the most part?) but the main reason I'm interested in following through is overall communication and talking to real people in person. My communication skills have skyrocketed and OCD symptoms have lessened a lot. I have also gone completely sober recently (last few months). I will never trust alcohol again; that journey has taken many years. NOFAP (so far) has been a comparable challenge, and to end porn usage forever (!!!) would be much more difficult than sobriety for me. I am learning to talk to real women on a regular basis instead of hiding my sexuality behind porn. I have great reason to believe in this movement. The superpowers are real and going back to life without them sounds.... horrible. I feel like a "real man" now. I guess I feel pretty tricked spending my 20s without putting serious thought into this. I'm glad that it's been paying off, and that it doesn't feel too late. That's all I can really say.

    My OCD was/is pretty tame; mostly ultimatums I would hear, almost schizophrenic seeming. They were very stressful but have lessened. My more serious mental problem is misophonia which is hatred of sound and specific words. I have a really bad case of that and always have since early childhood. Symptoms with it have slightly improved with the reboot, but only the more sexual triggers. It's complicated I guess. Sobriety from alcohol has made a huge huge difference with all this too. I wouldn't have had any success with NoFap if I were still drinking.
