Is fantasizing just as bad as watching porn?

    I got hit with a sexual dream last night, and woke up with morning wood. Calmed myself down, went back to sleep, but I've had on and off fantasizing myself to an erection today. As the day went on, the brain fog got worse and worse. It feels like I watched porn, even though I only fantasized. I'm not proud of it, but it didn't turn into a full-blown relapse. Do fantasizing and watching porn produce the same or a similar reaction in our brains?

    If you catch yourself fantasizing stop and do something else.

    Yes. Same chemicals. Fantasizing was much, much harder for me to stop, but since i have my level of happiness and satisfaction have greatly increased. I felt just as guilty about my fantasies as i did about porn.

    I would say only if your fantasizing of porn. If your dreaming of sex in general, but not "porn sex", then your prolly ok. But idk, I have no evidence to back this up.
