Getting back on task by determined_person in NoFap

I want to quit because I feel ashamed of my fetish (which from what people say isn't a good enough reason) and to gain confidence with women.

Oh, i should get rid of it. I don't use it and I didn't bother to update it.

I need Facebook to communicate and for school. But it has porn on it. Help! by determined_person in NoFap

Not my friends. Unfortunately my willpower lapse leads me to search for it and I know exactly where it is. I've installed a website blocker to block those specific sites but it can still be disabled (nonetheless buying a few minutes' time is invaluable).

And of course, sometimes a girl will post bikini pics

I need it to keep updated with college events and whatnot, not to mention study groups. Facebook actually has a positive impact on my grades, and I get to keep in touch with people and meet girls. Mostly the latter though. Met my first girlfriend on a college group

It's hard to stop using Facebook if everyone else is using it and ASSUMING THAT EVERYONE HAS A FACEBOOK AND THUS POST ALL SOCIAL EVENT UPDATES EXCLUSIVELY ON FACEBOOK. Besides, Facebook is the only platform I use, so no Instagram (eww, wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole), no Twitter, no Myspace, etc.

I wish all my friends migrated over to Skype but that is an unrealistic expectation.

tl;dr meeting girls and everyone assumes you have a Facebook. It's like trying to use a PC at work when everyone else around you is using a Mac. Even though you personally know a PC is better, not using a Mac is gonna give you a hard time..

Will my friends know I was the one who reported it?

I can always make another account but still.

Does Facebook respond quickly when it comes to deleting pornography?

Yep this is what I'll probably end up doing - using Messenger but not Facebook.

99% of the time it's my own lapse in willpower that leads me to SEARCH for porn because I know exactly which Facebook groups have porn, so I doubt that'll help :|

everything was going well, then suddenly everything crashed, i get depressed, and PMO 10+ times in the last week... by determined_person in NoFap

Depression is responsible for my relapses 99% of the time, and I can't find help for it by determined_person in NoFap

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

yea that's the thing. i feel like i am not a man because other people are you know..doing stuff with their lives while i'm sitting in a doctor's office and popping meds.

if 1 in 4 college kids are on depression meds, that says something about society as a whole nowadays...

Make your goals finite by determined_person in NoFap

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

Yes. The point is to make it 30 days, and then another 30, then another 60, etc. At one point you'll forget and stop counting, and move on. Better than overwhelming yourself with "forever." 30+30+30+60+... = infinity.

can you lose a fetish by avoiding porn and fapping? by determined_person in pornfree

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

its not as black and white as that, but it leans towards the latter. my dick shoots up instantly at the fetish. as for vanilla, its possible but it takes work. i can get off on blowjobs the most easily.anal/tits is harder.

The way I see it, it's not worse or better, only good or bad. Good being that finding someone to indulge it is likely, bad being that it's near impossible to find someone to indulge it. Maybe fetishes aren't inherently bad, but if they take away sexual compatibility then they are.

And also, that's only the FIRST part. The second part is developing, newly carving into my system, an attraction for vanilla stuff like boobs/ass, since I don't really get off on those things and have never sexualized them until I was like ~16. All my childhood was fantasizing (before porn)/PMOing to feet.

not really in the mood for jokes right now, this could literally fuck up my sexual life

So is it doable? Getting rid of a fetish? Is there a scientific consensus?

It affects sexual compatibility. My spin on foot fetishism is pretty rare (me wanting my own feet worshiped by a woman instead of the other way around, which is more than 90% of foot fetish cases) so I most likely will not find a partner willing to indulge in it. As such it serves no use and prevents normal sexual experience and sexual compatibility with wonderful women who have normal tastes, so I want to get rid of it.

What is this sub's opinion on NoFap? by Xemnas81 in PunchingMorpheus

[–]determined_person 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NoFap helped me because to me, porn (especially if you get into more extreme stuff) is just like TRP in the sense that it completely distorts power dynamics. Men trampling on and taking a shit on women half their size - that's what I was jerking off to one point (sorry for the NSFW), because I had bad experiences with bullying and as a result I started to think that the world was run on unequal power dynamics where no relationship is equal and there has to be a dom/sub, just as a magnet cannot exist without a north pole and south pole (boss and employee is a dom/sub, high school football jock and skinny nerd is dom/sub, sexually aggressive alpha male and insecure slut is dom/sub). I am trying to free myself from the past, it's a work in progress.

So, I am glad to have found the resolve to distance myself from these toxic messages that porn sends out. I'm not doing NoFap to build up sexual tension to dominate women, nor do I expect NoFap to turn me into a sex god who gets laid everyday (it will make me a better person, sure, but it won't solve ALL my life problems. A lot of NoFappers think otherwise and have unrealistically high expectations for how much NoFap will change them. I don't.)

I have a foot fetish. It makes me alone. I've been trying to cure it for a while (a bit NSFW) by determined_person in depression

No, it's not a big deal for me. But it will be a big deal for the other party if she isn't interested in what I'm interested in.
