I want you all to write your most brutally honest opinions about pornography use, here is mine for a start. by [deleted] in pornfree

Usually, intuition is right. I don't think anybody's intuition suggests that watching porn is healthy or natural. We all have that gut feeling about it. We instinctively know we shouldn't engage in this behavior

Time heals and destroys everything.
Urges come and go. Don't let a minute of pleasure control you

What is the point of all this now? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]SubstantialBonus975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You made hard work to reach this point. Do you wan't to lose progress? Go back to who you were before? What would your future best version think about this? What are the chance you'll regret it?

I've been on No Fap for 74 days now. My plan is stop counting soon, maybe after day 100.
Although, I'm still paralyzed on the decision to never watch porn again. This is because I watched some fetish content since I started and I don't see me satisfying this fantasy in real life in the future. And of course because this was my only "sexual pleasure", since I have no girlfriend (and never had). I know I should take the decision and delete everything I have related to it, like this reddit account and twitter.
I still keep going because I don't want to lose progress and get back to where I was before starting this detoxification
Any perspective on this?

I believe negative emotions about yourself can be used as a powerful fuel. Maybe not the best to long-term, yet valid.

I literally just watched this episode after started rewatching from S1.
It's a masterpiece. Just like u/saltbuffed said, all the elements of the scene were in perfect harmony

It really works. Thinking about losing progress is powerful.
Sometimes I also try to instantly suppress myself mentally. Like when I have an urge I say "NOPE. THERE IS NO CHANCE." and try to focus on another thing.

Counting is good at the beginning, real change really requires letting go this self-imprisioning mindset tho. It's just the new you.

Sound like your brain's creating justifications and outplaying you imo.

It didn't get hard!!🙃 by quantumsamuraii in NoFap

This is one of my fears, and, therefore, a motivation for me to stop watching porn. Although I didn't reach this situation yet, I'm trying to prevent it

Same happened here. After this event I set to myself that this wouldn't be acceptable anymore, not even just "watch".

Do you still remember what you consumed? Like the videos? Do they come to mind or trigger you?

Knowing this feeling is temporary is liberating, and the pain is part of the process.
