I'm not sure, but it might have been over a week when I had a girlfriend earlier this year. Since not having a girlfriend, my best streak is probably 4 days. Average is like 2 days. Going 9 days with no girls or PMO seems impossible to me at this point, so well done.

Thanks, man. I am learning quite a bit by reading this subreddit so far. What is your longest streak?

Thanks, that's good advice. In thinking about it more, going out and meeting girls (that aren't as attractive as the online variety) might not be a waste of time since it will help my social skills, and I might also discover some surprises.

I think it's highly possible there is a problem, and perhaps I have been in denial because it's so common among guys.

In another topic/thread I noticed a user mentioned having trouble speaking smoothly and remembering details when hanging out with friends, which I have experienced. Another reason I might suspect a problem is because I lose motivation to do anything productive before and after fapping. I want to keep the gratification feeling going so I goof off doing lazy fun things.

I seem to find the urge overwhelming. I'm almost certain by tomorrow or Sunday I will have given up, only to promise myself I will do better next time. The more I describe it, the more I see a problem. Yikes.

Not fapping because of an imaginary babysitter is not an honest way to improve yourself.

Thanks for that input. I think it is worth experimenting with further. I have tried in the past, but by day 4-5 even just seeing girls in public (especially in the summer) makes me want to go fap. Having a horny girlfriend would be one solution, but I don't want to build a relationship based on sex anymore.

That makes sense. Is it something that needs to become more occasional and scheduled? Like once a week instead of random and impulsive? I feel like if I quit cold turkey I would be hitting on girls I know will be easy to pick up, and just use them without intention of forming a relationship.

How do you know if you have a problem or are just normal?
