Hi just joined Nofap. It feels great to know there is a support community around for very underated issues. I would catogorise my PMO addiction as mild compared to some of the threads I've been reading since I have joined. My addiction seems to center around recurring urges for my favourite illicit material. I will, within the space of a couple of weeks or less, find myself fantasizing about the same hand full of pornstars and videos. Am I experiencing the infamous tension release effect of dopamine or is this an even more serious issue, concerning an attachment to my favorite illicit material? * * * *
It's normal for cravings to get worse for a while after a period of abstinence, and the worst time is often the second or third week. http://www.yourbrainonporn.com/what-does-withdrawal-from-porn-look-like Check out the vids at www.yourbrainonporn.com for more. Your situation sounds perfectly normal. You'll need to go for longer to see improvements, or at least masturbate without the stimuli that you'd prefer to let go. Remember, you are always training your brain, so steer for where you want to end up...even if it doesn't (yet) register as "hot." With time, tamer stimuli will look good again. http://yourbrainonporn.com/are-fetishes-innate
