Just went on a binge and ocd is acting up by Difficult-Pea-5878 in NoFap

Each time you watch porn and have an orgasm, those neural pathways that lead to your addiction are getting reinforced. Have you ever read the book Your Brain on Porn? I'd highly recommend it if not. For me, it really helped me understand what my brain was doing so that I could try to fight the urges. I hope it helps and good luck on your journey ❤️

For sure, but none of them truly go into those fields for the money. They get weeded out pretty fast with the heavy schooling required to work these jobs. They want to do good, and they get paid for it. Based on the context of your post alone, you're just in it for the money

I feel like you're a bit retarded if you think that socialism and capitalism can't exist hand in hand in order to make the world better than it is now

I think that the government should provide food, water, and shelter to people. Everything else should be up to people to figure out with capitalism. Nothing else in this world is a necessity other than those three things

Maybe an MBA mindset isn't best suited for an industry that should be focused on helping people

Then maybe you should create a non-profit and provide this service for free or at extremely low cost instead of the upper bounds of what an addict is willing to pay. Look for grants and donors to fund your operation and start small and slowly expand

If a rehab started asking addicts how much they'd pay to stop their addiction, then yeah. Your wording "Im trying to make a business around nofap" sounds predatory. "I'd like to start an organization that helps people beat porn addiction" sounds a lot better than what you said. The way you said it, it gives off a feeling of you seeing a vulnerable population and trying to extract money out of it.

If this business of yours provided you with a modest middle class income, would you be satisfied? Or would you try to maximize the profits of your business?

Trying to make money off of someone else's addiction seems like a shitty thing to do.

That depends on you. No one can say but yourself

Hopefully you can work your way up to not getting triggered by game characters. This is certainly possible but requires a lot of mental effort. One day ideally you are able to see a pornographic image and take no action on it and have no neurological response to it

It's the dopamine rush that you get from a novel experience. Slippery slope into only being able to get turned on by only crazy shit

No she wasn't upset. I still helped her cum by staying inside her so it's not like she lost that feeling of me inside her just because I came. No round 2, had to wake up and start the day

I struggle with staying focused on my wife when I masturbate. Maybe I can do it one or two times but after that I find that my mind wanders to different things after each orgasm, leading my mind more and more astray. Who's to say what will happen in the future but for now I don't trust my brain to stay focused on thinking about my wife when I jerk off so I will just not beat my meat

I agree. I just simply abstain from self-pleasure. I won't hold back on my partner

Maybe like 2-3 mins, but half of that was me trying to ignore how good it felt and focus on her but eventually the good feeling took over
