I'm feeling good about myself since I have not watched porn for 59 days, before that it was hard to even go 1 day without watching it but by being more aware of my emotions and replacing porn with healthy activities I have managed to get to 59 days and have no porn cravings. I also managed to limited my masturbation quite a lot in the beginning because it was difficult to masturbate without porn but also tough because of flatline. Now I have come out of flatline, I am finding it really difficult to abstain from masturbation. Does anyone else have this issue, it seems like most guys relapse with porn, but I'm finding it pretty easy to stay away from porn.
No one said its easy to stay away from fapping I think of it this way: If I just want to stop watching porn but still MO every day it makes it hard to stop porn because the level of arousal I am used to is quiet high and will stay that way unless I MO less. The longer the time since my last MO, the hornier I become, and thus I might naturally be aroused enough not to need porn. So yes, porn does alot to my brain, fantasies and reward system. But stopping and abstaining from MO is the hard part. Which is why I try reboots or nofap streaks. Let me know if someone sees the differently! I am still on my first streak and quiet the newbie EDIT: changed "you/we" to "I". Don't wanna speak for everyone here. Everyone is different and has different reasons to do nofap I guess. Honestly my brain is a bit rubbish right now.
I find the longer I stop porn the easier it becomes to continue to stop, well at least after about 21 days it gets easier, and yes you get very horny when you stop MO but at least I find it easy to stay away from porn even when I am really horny. The thing is I have started to fill my day with activities that has helped me be more healthy and get away from porn but the moment I feel a little bit bored I end up going to MO and that's what I need to get away from. I think in current times our brains are so used to being stimulated all the time that we can't handle not being stimulated. I'm trying to cut out netflix and youtube for a while, I have already cut out social media a while go, and I'm also trying to meditate all to get my brain used to not needing a dopamine hit all the time, I guess I need to be patient and keep going with the process, at least I am seeing progress.
