    Hey guys,

    I'm 50 days in, trying to completely reboot, but I feel like I need a lot of time, I've been exposed to this shit since a young age, something like 12, so 50 days ain't enough.

    And so far I was doing well, doing everything I can to avoid any kind of stimuli that would trigger me, and whenever I would see something accidentally, I would just quickly turn away and that was fine.

    But since something like a week, whenever I saw something, I'd still close that internet page, but instead of not minding it, I start thinking of how awesome pmo'ing to that would be awesome, how these perfect girls could give me the best fap of my life, better than any sex I have with my girl.

    I miss fap and this is hard, don't know what to do, and since I don't see much change on my mindset from doing nofap, it's kinda like I don't even have a reason to continue.

    Help :(

    Thinking that those girls could give you the fap of your life shows that you're not free from porn. Keep fighting!

    You are completely right. emptyness is the word, that how I felt after watching porn... Remember that it is like any drugs: full of promise at first glance, but at the end it's a pure lie.

    Try affirming to yourself that you want your girl, as she's real and you need her more than porn. Think of everything she does that makes your life easier and fun. Then think of how porn acts like a ball and chain while you and your girl are in the race of life where you really actually want to stay together for the journey.

    All that is very corny, but it's very subjective. So it might help.

  7. This is like reading the reverse from some alternate reality. A lot of guys myself included used to fap because we could not get a GF. But fapping when you already have a GF is alien to me. What’s the point of having a GF if you are just going to fapp off alone in your bedroom?

    If you get more enjoyment from fapping then I would argue that you don’t need a GF and she would be better off with another guy no offence. You have this beautiful girl and you are choosing porn over being with her I don’t get it.

    There is a reason why we call it "PMO addiction": our conscious minds are aware of how PMO can affect our lives in a bad way, but our subconscious minds don't care about long term benefits and look for immediate physical pleasure. Precisely, our addiction is to "dopamine", a substance that is released whenever you fap/have sex. In other words, if you have intercourses with your girlfriend I think it will take more time to lose the addiction completely. However this mustn't discourage you. Someday the addiction will be gone, you will feel better with your girlfriend and she will be happier. You love her, not some random girls you don't even know. Do it for her.

    These thoughts are produced by the addicted part of your mind and naturally you don't know if you should listen to it or not because, well, it's your mind. It is true that you have an addiction, though, so you must not listen to it. I know it is hard, I have the same problem: during the first months I have no issues and then, when I have almost reached my achievement, urge ambushes ruin everything. Read this, it will help you: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/2umfts/a_guide_how_to_quit_pmo/
    One last thing: remember you don't see benefits while abstaining because they're coming gradually and slowly, but you will feel really low if you relapse.

    Hey man, I know I'm a lucky guy for having a girl, and that is something that many guys would give a lot for, myself included, back when I was single.

    But maybe if you had a gf before, you know that sometimes relationships are not that easy to handle and can hurt, sometimes a lot, it's not as ideal as one might think.
    A gf is someone you can rely on and trust, but also the person best placed to hurt you.

    @PMO Fighter
    Thank you for the motivating words sir, It's true that it's an addiction and that I'm not necessarily thinking rationally while under its effect.

    About my gf, I actually started nofap for her, to be better in bed, but these days we're having troubles communicating and I feel like she does not care about me sometimes.
    I know that this is because she was hurt younger, like me, and she got that mask of no-care, but unlike me she can't seem to break it sometimes, and that hurts when it feels like she doesn't give a fuck.

    So I guess that must be why I wanna go back to 2D girls, when it doesn't work well with the real one. I should try to fix that.

    @TimoGort You're right, thank you for the words :)

    You're welcome. Maybe you should tell your girlfriend that you're doing this for her and that the mask of no-care hurts you. At the same time, you should stay away from PMO because it's good for both you and your girlfriend. Forget about the 2D girls, always remember who's the girl you really love. Stay strong. :)

    Yeah, it's not that easy, because, she's kind of aware of this 'mask', and she mostly feels bad about it, but yet she can't just get rid of it so easily, she got it because she suffered in the past and now it's deeply wired in her to act like this, in order to be safe, if she doesn't expect she can't be disappointed. And I don't wanna confront her too much about it to avoid making her sad.
    Also I know she cares, behind the looks, but sometimes it's hard, still. But I'll keep going, for me and for her.

    I needed those words, thank you man, much love @PMO Fighter

    I see... Do what you think it is better for her, don't make her sad, as you said. When you get urges, remember that she actually cares about you. Keep going! :)

    Bro I feel your pain,
    I have tried to abstain but to no avail,
    But this time it's different this time it's final, it's a new me, reborn from the ashes of the pathetic lazy ass kid. B
