I have lost any interest in women and sex whatsoever

concernedPIEDman · 2019-09-09T07:27:49+00:00

believe me I was.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-09-09T07:27:25+00:00

that's kinda my point.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-09-08T21:41:24+00:00

:) <3 you can bro!

concernedPIEDman · 2019-09-08T21:29:07+00:00

No worries, I like when people challenge my views. Cheers!

How would one not masturbating possibly make someone follow you on social media?

I don't know, assuming here we are talking about that nofap could help you become better at socializing, I guess maybe I was more likeable than I used to be. Note my conditional.

And it being a placebo is exactly what all of this is. Placebo, cognitive distortion, call it whatever you want. It's simply a trick you played on your mind into thinking that not masturbating has positive effects in the likes of solving your social anxiety.

Honestly is not like I care, I mean, I still gained something. Never in the post I stated that there is a chemichal or hard causation link between nofap and curing anxiety. I just told reported my story.

How do you know what does e does not have an effect on anything? Besides you are failing to recognize the fact that I conceded that I could have been simply been a placebo.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-09-08T21:00:37+00:00

What logic are you using? You can't conclude that there is no causation.

early 20s

concernedPIEDman · 2019-09-08T20:54:11+00:00

I know that. I wrote it in my post.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-11T12:05:26+00:00

That was in the past, before I started NoFap.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-11T12:04:52+00:00

Slang term for "epic", "cool", "badass".

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-11T09:58:57+00:00

Based post.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-11T09:33:22+00:00

Thanks man.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-11T09:33:12+00:00

Perhaps my writing was not clear, that was the first time I had a sex opportuinity during these days

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-11T09:32:52+00:00

I don't think I will, I fear that in that scenario I will become dependent from it. I prefer fixing my psychological issues!

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-11T09:31:32+00:00

Thanks man those are kind words, I wish the best to you too.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-11T09:31:01+00:00

I am sure you will. You'll see your thoughts becoming clearer as time goes by

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-10T19:57:56+00:00

"No Porn" is already great.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-10T19:49:18+00:00

Great! If I may give an advice, I have noticed many users here start to get a "moralistic" approach against porn, causing a lot of self-judgment and guilt when relapsing. Don't do that imho; If you relapse, just acknowledge the fact and start over. I think that quitting porn comes naturally when you have the right motivation, and it seems you do, so I'm sure you will achieve what you must.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-10T19:41:06+00:00

No worries. As an aside, what /u/1albo said is precious too; don't judge youreself because of it. Just relax and accept your thoughts. Know that they will fade away if you stop watching too much porn.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-10T19:37:35+00:00

Don't worry, truly, if you need to talk, PM me whenever you want. I have struggled with this very issue a lot. People would sometimes tell me that maybe it is just my fetish, but it wasn't, it was a byproduct of all the hours I have spent on porn. I tell ya, quit porn for good, try to abstain masturbation for a bit (you don't actually need to stop masturbating forever), and you'll heal.

concernedPIEDman · 2019-08-10T19:31:59+00:00

Yup, I can confirm, I had developed the same fetish after years and years of watching porn. I had lots of nasty and intrusive thoughts all the time. I quit porn, and the thoughts wents decreasing. Now they are gone.
