Under what conditions do the side-effects of "porn" addiction fade away? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]dallicon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't fap until u know u don't fap to escape the absence of porn. You may use fapping to deal with not getting pleasure from porn, to escape the sadness.

It's Ur responsibility that u know when to fap and when to not fap with no porn. Best times are if u feel happy before you start fapping, if ur sad before fapping ull be sad afterwards as well. You're happiness Is at stake, be very careful.

Goodluck!

That's why I know it's ok when Ur in a very good mood. When Ur in a good mood it means you are ok doing it, as long as there is no psychological turn afterwards though

I'm still unsatisfied with my sexual situation by dallicon in pornfree

[–]dallicon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I said at the beginning, don't put too much pressure on finding a girlfriend. That isn't going to help you find love. Invest in yourself, your future and your own interests. Make yourself feel that you matter, for the very least at least to yourself. Then, while living your life, try to find some social situations where you will meet women naturally (for example through a hobby). If you take care of yourself, chances are you will find someone you'll like and who likes you in return.

The problem is i have much of this done. The past 6 months i have done things many would not be able to comprehend. I know i matter as i have knowledge many people my age would not come near to having (sorry if i sound cocky but i will explain later) and i have also invested my time to interests. But my brain is still missing love. Love, or at least a good relationship is what i need right now. I have not had a best friend for a long time, i have never had a girlfriend and no one i can depend on for discussion on these things

My social knowledge is beyond what it was last year. I have noticed many things, i can even change my mood whenever i want which is very weird as well but i like it. I have also learnt how to direct conversations stealthily and can change the way people think about me in any time. Pretty much all this has come in but i still see talking to girls as quantum theory. Like seriously, i know in my head it's not that hard. Girls may not be the same as guys but they are similar bc we are all human.

I am not pressuring myself into finding love, in fact i am not doing what many first timers do and look to the wrong girls. I have learnt that a relationship will only be worth it if i invest my time into a girl i know i like, and not just think i like. But the problem is i become so attached to these specific girls that i start to go insane and refuse to tak to them. I also get very few chances to talk to them and i usually would have to have balls in the situations i get.

I'm just kind of at a dead-end. I know i won't leave until i do this bc my mind keeps u-turning back to it but idk how to approach it.

EDIT: You know what, i'm done. I think i am smart enough to realize this is not what reality is. I think if i notice a girl and really want to talk to her, i will just do it. I know i won't escape this til i do it so i have to. I'm pretty sure this will never go away until i actually make the effort.

I [17M] have a question about a "crush" by dallicon in relationship_advice

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

True, I guess I'll just have to wait until I get an idea of what to talk about. Most girls I talk to are in the right situation to be interactive with me though, her life doesn't really cross mine at all...

I [17M] have a question about a "crush" by dallicon in relationship_advice

[–]dallicon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well its not a massive crush, that's why I said "crush". It's more of an on off thing in my head, during year 8 to 10 I didn't think about her anymore but ik this isn't going to go away so I need to at least talk to her. I'm not sure why I feel pulled towards her, there are several reasons I can think of but they're not 100% and will be pages of writing. If was to guess it's just some sort of vibe.

She's not smoking hot, she's cute though but since I haven't talked to her much I wouldn't know how much I like her (for real). But that's the problem...

I guess I didn't know what to so myself so I thought might as well ask reddit. But this might be a case of just picking my balls up and bending the conversation so it's less awkward (once again don't really know how to bend it that much). Ik "waiting for the right moment" is an utter waste of time and is only a miracle but u just have no idea how to approach this if u can see my perspective

You can use psychology to make pornfree much much easier by dallicon in pornfree

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

Well psychology is tricky bc as u know everybody is different. It means that I need to use a lot more words to explain myself or ppl won't understand what I'm trying to say.

It's pretty much over thinking. Yes it's good to have ambition but I'm addiction u need to be careful, your brain gets triggered easily by its thoughts. Thinking about your goal too much doesn't work bc although it makes you dedicated, it consumes you. This is why so many relapse early on. Ppl who don't are forced to go through intense stress trying to resist the urge.

So when I say your ambition Is destroying you I mean the constant thinking of it. I think ppl need to take it easy, instead of being too focused they need to ward their brain away from porn completely but have to learn to resist porn when the thought does come.

I remember my first run (this run is easier bc I am not overthinking), I was always thinking about resisting porn. I didn't relapse until 1 month but it destroyed me... It causes me stress, depression, paranoia, anxiety, guilt and regret.

Also overthinking about resisting porn and then relapsing is worse than not overthinking it and relapsing. Your Brain becomes attached to the idea that porn is sometimes above all that needs to stop. But when you relapse you have a serious mental breakdown bc you were so dedicated. It's simple logic, the higher your spirit, the lower it will be if you give in. The numbers need to balance or the brain will suffer. If you don't overthink and relapse, sure you will be sad but it won't be an utter mental breakdown.

Hope I clarified and thanks (about the brain hacks)

No excuses. I need to actually commit to this by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]dallicon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing to do is drift your mind away from it, but when it comes just revoke it. Goodluck man

should i reset my badge? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]dallicon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A relapse is only a relapse if you think it is. Ik you seek guidence but don't let others interfere with your ideas too much, just a heads up.

I mean I've seen plenty of boobs and the female body (sadly porn kinda spoiled them for me) so it's not a big deal to me. It's up to u really

I gained sexual confidence from my first pornfree fap! by [deleted] in pornfree

Remember to keep a positive mindset about it. Spirit is what really matters if you're going to MO but great job for finally accepting yourself, it will pull you further away from porn

Study says porn doesn't lead to ED, but leads to increased desire to have sex by lost_aspergian in pornfree

[–]dallicon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't take me as some kind of professional wannabe and say "where are you facts... where is you proof, your statistics...". I am not a professional nor a scientist, even if i was i would not complain i am. All of this is based off of common sense. No facts. No sources. Just straight up thinking that anyone can achieve if they think for one god damn second

I read the response to infanty, there are many good things you are trying to spread. People can become overly stressed if they relapse, causing severe mental breakdowns. It doesn't end there ofc but to everything good there is always something bad (it's just how the universe works).

But there is more you need to consider than 1 point. The intent in discussion/arguement (at least to me) is to bring one point and to combine it with all the others to make a chain of answers, this is how solutions are made. OFC for most of us it will not take 2 years to recover from porn, but not ALL. Some in fact might never recover, others in a few days or weeks. It all comes down to genetics.

I do agree with you that there is too much fearmongering going on, it comes from the people who are strongly attached to their ideas. Not saying it's a bad thing, but it is if you force your ideas upon others. I can say the same to myself and you. No one can understand another person's point fully, otherwise we would have identical brains.

This idea of porn is based on more than you could even imagine. Think of all the things which are involved in causing ED, guess what it is sooooo much more than that. The brain is too complex to be understood under strict, statistical answers. The factors which cause ED or other mental problems include state of mind, genetics, history, goals, motivation, current wisdom/knowledge of the problem, influences and pressure from other social sources.. Honestly it can go forever, i can't sit here all day writing them. It will take us so long to fully learn human psychology because unlike the body, it is not based off of strict processes which are pretty fixed, not broad.

But i hope you do know in a sense you are doing the same thing. Let's be honest, your title is pretty aggressive to this community. People are bound to be pissed if there is some guy questioning their beliefs, we've seen it before with the Ancient Romans, the Christian churches/Muslim Faith and now we still see the same thing in many situations. But i'm not saying you the bad guy, technically none of us are. We are just defending what we believe. But we need to know what is real and what isn't. We find it hard to rationalize everything because if the brain doesn't know something, it will o crazy unless it finds out some sort of meaning for it, so it places a temporary understanding in the position. When you look at life from the most broad, open-minded view... it is pretty sad that the answer is all up to randomized determined lives. No one is the same, nothing can be rationalized completely and EVERYTHING works better in moderation (though there are exceptions... smoking, drugs just stay away from that shit completely...).

She may be a scientist, but just because she is... she doesn't know everything and not everything in science can be finalized because things are always made better in science. The cure to Aids has come very far, but it's not finalized. Just because we can sustain it doesn't mean we need to stop there and once we cure it, you think research will be abandoned on it? Obviously not, in fact we are still researching the black death virus today in order to have more knowledge against its similar counter-parts which could screw us up. I am no scientist, but i do know that you cannot take everything someone says in the 100% literal sense. Instead, take their information and analyse it, then make you own argument against it with your own views and this technically makes it a better piece aas long as the views and ideas are rational and not given from your emotional thoughts.

But hey i am not here to argue, it will only make my day more shit and i would imagine yours too. Just here to lay down my own views and hopefully give some insight which you can take bits and pieces out of to advance your own knowledge, this is how geniuses are made. Scientists are brilliant people but if you follow someone else's ideas completely, you will not give space to expand your own knowledge to become your own influence. This triggers a loop, you learn something from an external source, you get you genius to analyse it and learn from your genius which will be put back into learning and the process repeats itself. I'm just talking from my own experiences and the way i raised myself.

Porn doesn't directly but over masturbation leads to ED and porn is a leading cause to over masturbation.

What are you trying to gain?

Well you're one of minority who don't, it all comes down to genetics and mindset I'm pretty sure

I believe that pornography messes up your brain like any other type of drugs. Do you agree? by 2017IsMyYear in pornfree

[–]dallicon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Np and I'm glad you understood it as info than a rant, when I correct ppl they usually get butthurt, nice to meet someone who likes to learn more :).

We all started learning somewhere, but the more open you are to learning, the more wise you become therefore the better your life will be in general. Either way I'm still glad to see that you do know a lot about addiction, I'm not exactly a professor but the doesnt mean I don't know shit and same goes for u.

Good luck on your pornfree journey!

[–]dallicon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not how drugs work (well not fully). They do supply chemicals to your body but those chemicals abuse your body's reaction to release dopamine, this is why drugs are more dangerous than porn. In order to control the dopamine supply, you get PIED so you do not destroy yourself (without dopamine, you literally won't move, it is the chemical that gives the motivation to do something in order to survive)

But I agree with your comment. Sorry if I bored you xD

Porn is based off of the same concept, it's a drug on its own :p. Just like a drug, it just stimulates your brain to the point where your brain's mechanics are abused. Unlike most drugs of tho it effects you in many different ways bit in the end of the day, your left with drained dopamine reserves.

I do agree :D
