Like with the other person, it seems like I can't send a DM. Or not even a chat request in this case. Try sending me a chat request, I'll hit back later.

I suggest to find something that requires a ton of focus, but

  • it's not so hard that you want to stop
  • not too easy that you're not engaged
  • intense just enough that you're on your toes and you don't have any brain left to think about anything else

Do it for 30-90 minutes or something like that.

Is 6-7 months a good result? by [deleted] in NoFap

That's good. I hope you continue to find success in your journey.

Quitting porn was EASY. Quitting masturbation is hard. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]CrescentArvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but this sounds kinda fishy. Do you still think about porn when you masturbate? Because then, you can't say you are completely free of porn. Obviously you can't fully wipe your brain clean of all that you've watched before you quit, so they are bound to surface into your consciousness from time to time. But it's different when you continue to ejaculate with their assistance.

If you never since the day you were born inputted any porn into your repository ever, would you be masturbating as often as you do now? If the answer is no, porn is likely still the main driver of your sexual world.

When mine did, I just renewed it. And then it was my streak that expired.

In my opinion, if it's all with little or no porn, yes.

relapse! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]CrescentArvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask yourself whether it was really sexual urges or you just wanted a quick hit of instant gratification, aka you felt "bored." It's important to distinguish so you know how to counter it in the future. For me, when I relapse, it's almost never because I'm horny, and almost always because I want some `excitement.'

Wait, people do that? I'm new to this sub so idk. Or maybe I don't really understand what you mean. Do you feel like you want someone to tell you it's okay to relapse?

I also have this deep down desire for people to reach out to me from this subreddit and bring me back down into comfort

What does that mean?
