    Im on 127 days about now, no porn or fapping but orgasmed from sex a few times with a girl from a date around the 100 day mark.
    The benefits of doing this have been too many to count, and I've written about that a few times before but this time I've just got a few questions and changes I've noticed.

    Recently I've noticed that my attraction to women is changing somehow.. It's very hard to explain but it's like, when before I would look at a photo of a hot chick it felt almost like I could bite them in an instant ( like a cookie or something, not actually bite them haha). Whereas now when I look at it it's kind of different, more of like just acknowledging what I'm looking at in a real way like thinking, damn. Maybe acknowledging their beauty without wanting to just simply use/consume it.
    Very hard to explain so I hope this makes sense to people who have gone through this shift.

    And I pretty much wasn't that horny from around day 100 to now, and then today I just had a crazy spike of being horny, brought on by browsing on Tinder and Instagram. What's your thoughts on this?

    I'm starting to feel like it might not be so bad to just fap, without fantasising or any porn, purely on touch alone, occasionally like once every two weeks or something. Would this be a bad thing?

    Appreciate any response to any part of this, thanks people

    I think PMO is an addiction and as any addiction, it will try to come back. Remember that once an addict, always an addict. Doesn't matter how many days you have been without PMO. I would suggest to abstain from any kind of stimuli that could make you go back to PMO.

    Browsing on tinder and instagram is the experience of processing images of girls by the brain, the same part you tried to tame by abstaining from PMO. Doesn't matter if its Porn or a colleague... your brain is tricking you into believing you're doing a normal thing. I agree with @addictedhusband that this is a stimuli you should avoid like the plague.

    Getting horny with someone face-to-face is great, but you need to ensure you don't fall prey to the chaser effect.

  4. I’m better able to look at beautiful women without automatically thinking about sexual acts with her.

    Been training myself to look at women as people and considering what she’s thinking. What’s going on with her inside. Not looking at them as sex toys.
