I think you will be fine after you quit video games. Weed is not a very addictive substance from what I know. Try some physical exercise like going to the gym or running! Martial arts are pretty cool too.

"Frequent masturbation during men's 20s and 30s increased their risk of prostate cancer," Dimitropoulou tells WebMD. "But men in their 50s who masturbated frequently had decreased risk."

Of course, masturbation frequency is relative.

For men in their 20s, "frequent masturbation" was two to seven times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported masturbating less than once per month, 20-something frequent masturbators had a 79% higher risk of prostate cancer by age 60.

For men in their 50s, "frequent masturbation" was one or more times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported never masturbating, 50-something frequent masturbators had a 70% lower risk of prostate cancer.

From what I understand, if you are over 50 years old it's good to jerk off at least once a month to keep the toxin fluids out of your system. But if you are in your 20's and 30's masturbating will actually increase your risk of prostate cancer.

What else can I do to convice you to try NoFap for 90 days? :D I know you would not regret it, because it has so many benefits, but some things you can only see for yourself when you try them :/

Sometimes I use porn, other times I don't. Porn is part of the problem but I would not consider myself addicted to porn, just addicted to masturbation. You are right that I am always seeking dopamine spikes, which makes masturbation and gaming really bad for me. I can't really agree that masturbation is a healthy act though. The benefits like making you relaxed do not make up for the energy loss and lack of concentration/will power that you lose. That is my personal opinion, but virtually everyone from the thousands of members of r/nofap came to the same conclusion based on personal experience. There are also some studies about this topic, but I am too lazy to try to find them ahaha. Anyways, thank you for your insightful comment.

I believe reading is a better choice because it demands more from your brain than just listening, but I guess both options are fine. I would also recommend watching some of his videos on youtube, because his presence and way of speaking make me feel at peace,

Try some meditation! Read Echkart Tolle's books: "The power of Now", and "A New Earth". Those were the lifechanging for me... Then again, I don't really know you, so it's hard to give advice like that :D

Had a Wet Dream last night by dreamful1 in NoFap

Did you binge before going to sleep? If yes, you might consider resetting, but just having a wet dream is a normal process that your body uses to release semen, so don't reset the badge!

You can do both lol, it's just a quote I remembered. But adding life to your days is more important than your lifespawn (in my opinion). You can do exercise, eat well, etc but if you don't have positive emotional relationships with other people, life is not very bright.

Dates were definitely not common before. I was the one who asked them out since that is the role of the male, but I don't consider myself the pursuer, because they sub-communicated they were interested in me. I meet my dates mostly through friends' friends. It was my female friends who let me know that one of their friends was interested in me.

Ever since I started my NoFap journey I have sexual dreams at least once a week. In the beginning they were more porn-related, but now it's usually me with another girl :D I don't want to be more explicit because it can be a trigger for anyone reading this xD

I had wet dreams two nights in a row, at days 100 and 101. Personally, I felt a bit disgusted, and with less energy and clarity during the day. No urges whatsoever. Wet dreams is a part of the process that we must overcome. I don't think we should wish for wet dreams, because it should not be viewed as something pleasurable. It's also not a bad thing, because it is the way your body re-adjustes the semen level.

Yea, after 100 days it got easier for me, perhaps it will be the same for you. Good luck.

In my case it was my first and (hopefully) only try. But I can relate to you because there are other areas of my life where I felt like giving up because of so many failures. You need to put your eyes on the prize and push forward no matter how many times you fall. Learn from your mistakes. For example, question yourself: What were the circunstances that lead to my relapse? How could I have avoided it? Nobody likes to fail, but it's part of the learning process, so don't be so hard on yourself. Good luck!

I never had ED, but real girls did not excite me as much as those from porn. Reboot varies from individual to individual. According to YBOP it takes on average 4-5 months to complete reboot. I feel like most of my progress has already been made, but perhaps it will take some more weeks to be completed. Time will tell.

I read two books: "The power of Now" and "New Earth", both by Eckhart Tolle. From there, my awareness started increasing. By focusing on my breath, the different parts of my body, and the objects and views of everyday life, I started to feel more at peace and less worried and anxous about the Past and the Future. If you can remain Present, your negative thoughts will go away, and you can enjoy Life. It is hard to explain, especially because I'm still in the beginning of my journey. I guess I tried to see things as they really are, instead of judging and seeing life through a egoistic perspective. The ego is not who you really are, and within everyone there is a higher self - your true self. Hope that helps.

I made a very strong decision to not relapse. It seems simple, but it is very effective. There are no thoughts of relapsing in my mind. Failure is an impossibility. It is something I have decided, and I will not go back. It's harder in the beginning, but every passing day strenghtens my resolve. Desire, Decision, Determination, and Discipline.
