    Hey people,
    Struggling with Porn addiction for 8 years, this is the second time of PIED right now. Missed out on a girl I liked very much.
    Trying to go on Nofap PMO again, I have noticed strong gay urges. My new found addiction turns out to be not porn or masturbation but chatting on grindr and then “trying” out guys. I am literally struggling to fight a newer addiction.
    All sorts of similar addictive possibilities are there like compulsion, dopamine deprivation if not done.
    From one to another addiction, I am struggling to cope with how such switches happen.
    Is sexual addiction real? Cuz I am completely off porn and masturbation now. Its just so hard to contemplate and battle a newer addiction now.

    Yes, sex addiction is real. It's a bad addiction.

    I'm going to assume you're bisexual or something like that. If you're into dudes then try out a more heteronormative way of dating. Now, I'm a boring ol' straight dude that doesn't use Grindr but maybe you can put something like "looking for a loving relationship"? That and try talking to other "gay" dudes in real life.

    Basically, focus on loving relationships instead of sexual ones.

    Nobody gets a vote on your sexuality except you.

    Sex releases buckets of feel-good chemicals. It is also nice to just feel validated that you are attractive.

    My only "advice" is that having "tried guys" isn't an indication that you are for 100pct sure gay. If it were, you'd be pretty sure of it.

    Breathe, stay calm, and don't get too worried about it. After you relax, you will most likely find your sexual identity.

    I feel your pain buddy - I’m happily married with kids… yet I seem to have got into a “habit” of flirting online with gay doms and being their sub! And I’m struggling to kick that habit. I’m on day one of my 30 day challenge! Have managed a few weeks before of avoiding Skype chats with them… but somehow it starts again. I think I can control it and be sensible… then I find I can’t - feels totally like an addiction to me and has left me feeling confused about my sexuality too buddy!

    Discord, Telegram, etc. aren't so bad. But Zoom, Skype, and Facetime are super dangerous. It's so easy to record video and audio from those.

    The only thing you can do is move on. Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, today is a gift. That is why we call it the present.
    -or-
    Yeah, delete your skype accounts.

    Working on it buddy!! Working on it!!
    It seems quite weird… I’ve gone a few days before without playing with it… or without going online.
    But the first 24 hours having signed up here on NoFap seem somewhat more intense that I’ve “moved on”! And I’m only 19 hours in!!!

    That 30 log in window is a way to lure users back in. Did you create each account with its own email? You know an email account created only to create an account on another website. If so, can you delete those email accounts?

  11. Porn addiction is brutal. Once you get into it, it's hard to escape. Once you escape, it will try to creep back into your life with it's own sneaky agenda. Stay strong. Don't give in to your mind!
