Should I date after only 30 days of no "P"

Hey guys so I have recently joined nofap in hopes of quiting my pornographic addiction. For 30 days now I haven't seen porn or have gone to porn sites and I am happy about that. The results from not watching porn have become evident in terms of my mind not being so lustful of sex. I remember walking outside and the first person I would see that I found attractive, I felt the need to have sex with or picture the person naked.
Porn does that to me. The images never completely subside. I feel as though they cause me to become this overly sexual person. So after stopping for a month, I definitely feel like both my mind and body are more at ease from all that sex.

However, I have been using an app where gays,bisexuals, and transsexuals can meet. There is also a feature where you can have private images (typically nudes) but they will appear locked to anyone that you do not grant access to. I personally didn't have any private images because I was against them. So I continued using the app just to see what was out there and I met someone on the app who I found attractive and wanted to talk to. After some time conversing with him on the app, he ended up showing me his private(nude) photos. And he asked me for mine. I ended up taking a nude and sending it to him. As a result I fapped to these pictures. Also the guy ended up wanting to meet with me and now I am at a crossroads. Because to be honest, it all kind of happened in a day with the guy. talking to each other, exchanging nudes, trying to see where things will lead. So my questions/concerns are is it bad to masturbate to nudes sent by people you are interested in? Do nudes and porn fall under the same category and if so.. Why? And although I have decided to stop watching porn I am still in debate on whether or not I should stop fapping altogether because part of me feels that it helps me relax and gives me pleasure. And as long as I don't do it at a consistent level and it doesn't interfere with my productivity I am kind of okay with doing it. But I am against fapping to porn. Also, before I joined nofap, I had been watching a good amount of porn. This habit had went on for 3 months. So my second concern is because I am just newly out of porn watching, should I take some time off from any kind of sexual encounters or any kind of activities that would lead to sexual encounters before I start dating people? This includes talking and meeting with someone I met in a dating app where people show nudes somewhat consistently and it is kind of a hooking-up app. I was planning to get to know this guy before taking it another step further but seeing as how we already exchanged nudes, I feel that my desires and lust won't be as in control as I think they will be.

 

Hi thank you very much. Your message was very helpful. To be honest I am going through several internal struggles right now. A good amount of the struggles are based on what I should and should not do in terms of my sex life. Part of me says to have a sort of "sexual cleansing" before getting out there into the dating world. Another side of me says to get my sexual desires met through an intimate relationship with someone I trust and am attracted too. But part of me feels that it would better to wait but the thing is that I haven't had a sexual encounter with someone since 2012. And maybe now is the time I should get out there but not through porn but rather with another person.
Also there are several mixed emotions that I feel due to being bisexual and that includes my challenging my sexual impulses. I feel that being attracted to men in our day and age may be something necessary for the world because it is essential. Homosexuality is essential for challenging the heterosexual activities that cause the world to become over populated. However, I don't think it matters what sexuality you are, when you are addicted to sex, porn, or masturbation. Sex, porn, and masturbation affect people of all genders and of all sexualities. They have the ability to cloud people's judgment and inspire unhealthy and unreasonable decisions. For this reason I have decided to join nofap because I can honestly say that being attracted to men, watching gay porn at a consistent level, and masturbating to gay porn at a consistent level has made me a very uncomfortable person. It has caused me to feel uncomfortable with myself. At times I feel my mind and body succumbing to sexual thoughts in public and at very inappropriate times. Being exposed to so much porn, makes you feel overwhelmed and invaded by thoughts of sexual lust, desire, animosity, and insanity. It is a battle indeed to fight against these things. But it is a fight worth having for the sake of your own humanity. I have stopped masturbating to porn for about 30 days however, I have not managed to get past day 11 in terms of MO and also in a span of 3 years. But that was before nofap. Now that I have joined this community I feel that I will have the support and motivation that I need to be able to go further in my goals. I am not going to lie though. Part of me fears that taking away porn from my life will have some side-effects on me. Side-effects that I cannot account for. But I guess in the end, I will make this next step for the sake of my own humanity and progressive development. Thank you for your advice. I am very grateful and happy that you responded. To be honest I kind of thought no one would respond due to the fact that I am bisexual and after reading some of the other stories, I felt that the nofap community was primarily heterosexual males. So again I say to you my fellow fapstronaut thank you. I also have another question about the K9 software. Is that something that I setup with someone else so that they can have a password rather than me? Because I am thinking of downloading it and I wasn't sure about this.
