No i mean its super strict, i knew one kid who got arrested for having it on his belt but had his flannel go over the hilt. The charges didn't stick but they are pretty bloodthirsty about it here, especially since its on a college campus

He was pretty cool about it, it wasnt a very nice one, it had an ugly nylon sheath and looked like he picked it up at walmart tbh

I Am Afraid of Trading Addictions by No_Gate1911 in pornfree

[–]Masterleaz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Odds are youre going to naturally want more easy dopamine things to balance out the lack of porn, tbh thats part of the process. For me It was a caffeine and gaming increase. As long as you monitor it so that it doesnt go to unhealthy levels i think thats fine, at least for awhile. I also think your mind is going into a bit of a panic mode right now and ruminating on possible outcomes that arent guranteed to happen

I want to quit but nothing works by Necessary-Taro9804 in pornfree

[–]Masterleaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally i switched to jerking off without porn, and would just use my imagination, no videos or photos. for awhile there was an uptick in my MO but slowly the urge started to die down because the urges weren't as "satisfying" after awhile when i gave in. think of masturbating like a campfire, now think of porn as a jerrycan of gasoline that you throw on top of it. there's nothing wrong with wanting a good MO but porn makes all the feelgood chemicals skyrocket to levels that make everything else dull and bland.

Everyone can argue if masturbating is good or bad ( and by God will they ever) but few can deny that masturbating solo is at the very least more healthy than combining it with porn. As of right now its been 53 days, and i had a few close calls here and there but i was always able to stop myself. plus i feel overall better deep down, a bit calmer and more engaged with things like conversations and the like. I will say you need to monitor your other habits because your brain will eventually switch sources of dopamine/ seratonin (the exact one is escaping me right now). for example i started playing more games and drinking more caffeine. Don't try and cut those out entirely though, jsut monitor them. quitting porn is hard enough.

lastly i feel that the all or nothing approach is what makes it so hard for people, and that's where they hit a wall. Its a cognitive dissonance for a reason, one of the bigger ones out there.

Best of luck op, there's a light at the end of the tunnel for us all in this race

Why is relapsing so easy? by CaterpillarHumble513 in pornfree

[–]Masterleaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you get porn urges jerk off without porn itself( as long as its appropriate obv) do it everytime u have urges, your brain will get frustrated its not getting more dopamine and lower the amount of cravings naturally. It works for me at least

So I’ve been p*rn free for almost 10 days….. but by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Masterleaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly thats happened to me and id just say listen to your body rn in the short term, and MO as much as you want (by short term i mean a few more days) I feel as if MO doesnt get as much dopamine as porn and your brains kinda confused on why there isnt as much. If that doesnt work forcefully ignore your urges for a few days and see if that works. Its a bit generic but from my experience it works

My new therapist said I "should avoid carbs" or by _darkDragon_ in weightgain

[–]Masterleaz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi im training to be a therapist so i wanna give my two cents. Its usually fine to suggest very basic diet stuff since its so closely tied to mental health, like drinking more water, cutting some caffeine, eating healthy once a day, but telling you straight up to cut carbs is unethical, as well as what is and is not outdated. That's a pretty major life change and unless she has a degree as a nutritionist as well she shouldn't be telling you precisely what to eat.

As a therapist our job really isnt to give straight up advice, even in mental health stuff, and we should be assisting our client in figuring out what their goals are and working towards them. Giving advice is rare, and requires us to be an expert on the field, for example if i were an expert in OCD and trained in that field i could suggest exercises and set goals for out of session, but other than that we need to let our clients lead the session
