Got drunk and joined a dating site...

We all have different addictive, sexually compulsive behaviors. What's addictive for me may not be addictive for you, and vice-versa. I know that I personally can't use websites, apps, etc. I cruise those way too much, it's exciting, I feel a rush, time seems to standstill. I could waste hours, more or less the whole day, trying to find that one hit- that one response- to really send my mind in dopamine heaven. I struggle with it. If you're like that, I suggest keeping clear of it- it could trigger you, and all it does is reinforce that neural pathway.

If you are able to balance it, do it sparingly, and aren't triggered to PMO (thru loneliness or lust), then do it. Only you know what your true sexually compulsive and addictive behaviors are. Don't tempt yourself, don't cheat yourself, be strong. 12 days is a very good streak, don't lose it!

 

POF is what you make of it I joined late October and started NoFap a month later, but in that roughly a month of using POF I had 3 conversations with actual people, the rest were bots/selling themselves. I must have sent at least 50 messages on there, and only ever got 2 replies. I still have it on my phone, but now I laugh at some of the ridiculous profiles and spam messages. It is almost like a weird kind of motivation, as odd as that sounds. Give it a try for a month and delete it if it becomes tiresome.
