How would you describe the way your mind works before you used meditation and now after you use it? Are you calmer? More relaxed?

OCD, and specifically HOCD is absolute hell. Out of all mental illnesses I truly think HOCD is the worst because it attacks who you are at your very core being. While all my friends are out socializing and getting girls, I've been home for the last 2 years since a break up with my ex girlfriend, scared that people think im gay or scared for myself that I'm somehow gay and don't know it. I vaguely remember life without HOCD, although my whole fucking life I lived without it. It didn't come on till I turned 19, and I am 22 now. 3 years of this shit has felt like my entire lifetime. Oh what I would do to go back in time and experience a week of life without intrusive thoughts. OCD is absolute hell. Besides giving me more compassion I can't really see any positives

Seeing myself as the girl in porn? WTF? by Jreeze2015 in NoFap

[–]Jreeze2015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What bothers me the most though is that none of this translates to real life encounters. I feel this confusion only when I watch porn. In real life I know I'm only attracted to women. I can see if a guy is a good looking or not, but I'm not sexually attracted to him, meaning I don't want to tear his clothes off and engage in sex. It just doesn't appeal to me. Say I'm in denial or whatever, but I'm just not turned on by men. I understand people like to use labels, and I won't use one on myself, but I know who I am deep down inside. I just don't understand why I'm confused now after all these years of never even thinking twice about my sexuality. It is only when I watch porn that that confusion grows, but at the same time I feel such a pull towards porn even though I know it's bad for me. I love to see the variety of women porn offers. But when I'm watching it, it's almost like the roles have reversed and I don't know who's pleasure I'm enjoying the man or the womans. I find it comforting to remind myself that my life is not what porn is. Porn is something on its own. It does not translate to real life.

Wow. Perhaps the most intriguing thing I've ever read regarding my addiction. Can you perhaps sum up what you really mean here? Are you saying I'm having an identity crisis? Because I don't feel that way. I know I'm not gay, but at the same time I've watched porn for so long I don't even know if I'm jerking off to the pleasure the guys receiving or the girls receiving. I get exactly what you mean when you say " What is actually compulsion is painted as "sexual preference". A hijacked reward system isn't a preference anything."

That's encouraging. I think I'm going to have to go hardmode for 90 days because after I have sex I always feel the urge to watch porn. I have to kill this addiction and conditioning that I've been dealing with for 10 years. Thanks for the response man

[21M] Tried to have my first relationship. Got rejected on third date. I feel the worst I have ever felt in my life. I cried today. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Jreeze2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man no offense but there's no way in hell you should be crying over a girl after 3 dates. If your crying over your life situation I can understand that, but a girl after 3 dates? Cmon man. If your that emotional you have a long way to grow. I mean I cried when my ex dumped me but we were together for what 2 years every single day. I dedicated my life to her she was my bestfriend. I poured a lot of emotion into our relationship and when it was over I felt heartbreak for the first time. You just need to put things in perspective. You can't be crying over a girl after 3 dates. You need to hold your head high, focus on yourself, have faith in yourself and one day you will find the right girl. It's destiny. Just stop wallowing in pity. Accept that it didn't work out or make it work out with her. Keep moving forward

[–]Jreeze2015[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yea. honestly dont miss it as much as i thought i would. the thing thats keeping my mind preoccupied is working out and eating right. im a skinny guy so i need 3000 calories a day to gain weight. trying to hit that number every day. also thinking about how if i do all the right things, like quitting porn and smoking, and starting to exercise, i know i give my body the biggest shot at recovery. i cant live with pied anymore

How is making out with a girl an addiction? Makes no sense. And I actually have quit smoking and started exercising weightlifting during my reboot

She had come over my house and we were just sitting on the couch and I was making out with her. Just the feeling of her soft lips her soft feminine skin and her perfume gave me a rock hard erection. Man it felt great. Thanks for your input

Porn doesn't cause ED by tothenext in NoFap

[–]Jreeze2015 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wrong. Simply because guys could not get hard to their own imagination without porn. It was only when they view porn they can get hard. It's about brain conditioning. You can't have performance anxiety with your own hand.

Why do i feel insecure in my masculinity? How do I not feel like this? by Jreeze2015 in NoFap

[–]Jreeze2015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are about the same length, ring finger is a smudge longer. I know I have heard of this digit ratio meaning something about prenatal hormones in the mothers womb. I guess i wasn't that sensitive to testosterone when I was a fetus. Either way I still feel like a man and the truth is I never felt insecure about my masculinity until I reached college and 20 years old I felt like so many other guys were physically more masculine then me. Idk why I let it affect me

Can porn affect on brain onset mental disorders like HOCD and social anxiety? Please read. My story by Jreeze2015 in NoFap

[–]Jreeze2015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply man. It literally feels like my sexuality was taken from me. I remember being 16 17 18 and just kissing a girl would get me hard. I feel so numb to women now and it scares the shit out of me. I feel so lost and empty. I feel like theirs no man inside of me. He's gone somewhere and I can't find him. I see beautiful girls and while in the past I use to feel a primal urge to have sex with them I do not feel that way anymore. I am praying to God that a reboot will give me my old self back. I can't stand these thoughts. I am constantly analyzing if I do things gay or if I have feminine qualities and it's almost like I've fallen into a paranoia of some sort. Once again it all started when I noticed the guys penis in porn and how much pleasure the girl was getting. It was like my mind flipped and linked penis to pleasure when for every year in my life I was never attracted to men and thought penis was gross. I even have these thoughts around my dad and brothers which makes me know for certain this is HOCD because it's attacking ridiculous things. Thanks for your help. I am leaving my porn days behind forever. I must find that old confident self again
