Possible to reboot quitting porn but not masturbation?

Hi everyone,

I am new to NoFap and have some doubts. The main question is: somebody got a reboot quitting just porn but not masturbation and orgasm? I mean just stopping to watch porn.

Gary Wilson in Your Brain On Porn* insists that the focus should be on quitting porn but I think I stopped watching porn for long periods of time before and still feel the intense cravings even with attractive girls in the street, amd the numbness and disinterest in almost everything after ejaculation. Also I often have difficulty to see more than a body in a woman... Very cold and dehumanizing . Fortunately never had ED.

*(I guess is ok to cite a related and well-known site and its creator, otherwise I can remove the comment)

I feel like some of us started PMO so early, when our brains were not fully wired that now porn is very deeply engrained in our brains... Probably we have to go even for no masturbation for long time for reprogramming.

I would also appreciate some comments from succesful rebooters on reductions in craving sex and kisses from real women. Did you notice more interest in the person herself? Feel more affection beyond the sexual desire? And do you feel less numbness after ejaculation?

Would also appreciate comments from women rebooters who felt something similar.

Thank you all, specially to creators and maintainers of this great site, it helps so much to have a place where I can share these doubts... Should have joined NoFap before.

 

Thank you guys for the feedback, I also used to think more about quit just P. MO without P sounds healthy to me as well.

But I feel I have been doing long periods MO without P and never really get a reboot... A bit like InTheSouth describes... Was one week no PMO (no P no M no O, but for some wet dream) and met a girl. I like her, we liked each other, we kissed, and I instantly get that rock mode on. Got to bed and could only think about M, next morning I thought "well, was a real girl, should not be a problem", so went for MO. After that, two full days of that numbness... Can feel nothing.

I tried MO with a girlfriend, and sex, but I feel like my brain has associated so much any kind of sex with porn... I feel I will have to go for the full PMO... though sounds so unattainable... with work, full of responsibilities, stresses, dealing with some not so nice people, and still having to restrain from all desire and urge of MO.

Ok let's try! Wish me strength guys!

P.S.: I think about quitting MO only for a while, let the brain rewire. After a reboot I do not think is advisable to fully renounce to it. Well, that is based on few things I read about health, I could be wrong. In any case, no P ever again!
