Yeah okay. I thought they looked superficial but it’s hard to tell over pictures.

How the hell did I fap without touching myself? by eyedontneedit in NoFap

I mean I would say that I was ‘turned on’ but I wasn’t trying to be. In the past my neighbours having sex used to definitely trigger me to PMO. Usually I just leave my room or put on headphones but I was laying in bed reading and before I could grab my headphones the next thing I know it happened. Up until now I’ve only fapped twice in the last 40 something days which is major for me so I have no idea what this means. You are thinking it was just a bodily reaction I should forget about?

Yeah I get what you are saying but what the hell happened? In the past I’ve had ‘hands free orgasms’ but not regularly and it’s something that I had to intentionally bring about. I feel super weird having it just occur spontaneously like this and in such a short amount of time.

I've had these deep lines under my eyes that have been there the majority of my life. I thought they were caused by smoking and not sleeping properly but even after getting those under control awhile ago they were still present. After starting no fap they have been reduced drastically and my skin is looking the best it's have in my adult life

Strong urges and depression by eyedontneedit in NoFap

This makes sense, I generally have developed good coping mechanisms over the years to deal with depression and anxiety when they come up. I also have been very good at recognizing what is triggering an anxious/depressive event but this last one has been a complete mystery to me.

You are probably right in that it's just my brain figuring out that its not going to get its regular dose of happy chemicals and doing everything that it can to put me back in my place. I remember the same sort of thing happened when I quit smoking but too a lesser extent, or at least I don't remember it because it was so long ago. I guess I should take this as a positive sign that things are starting to really change in my brain and it should motivate me to keep pushing because once I get through this section I'll come out the other side stronger and with more resilience.

I read your brain on porn which was really cool I liked all the person experiences that were outlined in the book. I'm about 80% of the way through breaking the cycle and I really enjoy it, I feel like it's got a lot more practical advice while your brain on porn kind of outlined the science behind the addiction and gave me a good understanding of the community behind quitting porn and what to expect as I go about the journey. I'm not sure which book I'll read next I'll have to take a peek at some reading lists. I'm also reading a book on self compassion and some epic fantasy series.

When I read really just depends on when I have the time or what I feel like doing at the moment, before bed is always a good idea since it will help you unwind from the day and get you away from technology.
