Give up masturbation and porn or is just porn enough as long sexual thoughts are based on reality?

Yeah there are people all over the forum that is just P mode, if you look at the counter like how you have "Without Porn Maturbation" some people just have porn.

That said, what do you think is based on reality? Usually people masturbate to a fantasy, even if that person is someone they have encountered in real life. It's sort of like the difference between reality shows and regular shows with acting, some kind of fantasy is still being entertained. If nothing else that person is not in your presence right now, and somewhere in your mind you probably imagine she likes you. If she didn't like you and she was right there showing it it'd probably be hard to get off on it.

 

Giving up porn is a must. Once you do that, you will see your attraction to women you encounter skyrocket. This will lead to fantasies about them, but try to do without fapping as well. MO will lessen your "man aura". It's going on a week for me which is a short time (I've gone on longer streaks), but I can feel myself coming back to life. Yesterday there was this cute lady who was circling me and my daughter in a cramped store. I could tell we were digging each other. I happened to get super close at an interesting angle lol and she didn't mind.

 

It's called "nofap" brother
No M for best benefits!
But on a frank note, giving up P is a big deal too! Do what suits your life for now, but eventually, M will weigh you down!
best of luck!

 

I would go full on nofap. I am because I can O from M while thinking about my other half doing stuff to me.. but i can't O when he actually does it ha. Annoying. Soo for me the fantasising has messed me up a bit and it's gotta go, even when it is based in reality. I just want to get back to 'real'. Besides I'm kind of enjoying denying myself the release in a weird way, and I already feel better without M. Depends what you're trying to achieve I guess? Best of luck to you either way

 

I am currently on No P. I am going to continue to masturbate. This is my goal. It's all about being true to yourself and managing your own expectations. I expect to masturbate when I feel like. I am expecting to NOT watch porn at all.

Being consistent with my decisions and goals is what has kept me on the right path for the past 50 days. Freedom from porn is the most important factor for me, but everyone is different. Do what you feel will set you up best for success.
