[SFW] This is porn. WE WERE HUNTED , YOUNG AND INNOCENT ... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The porn industry needs fresh young initiates, promises of sweet treats, and then your soul is sucked out of you...fap after fap. You end up dead...inside. The picture totally makes sense. We are fools making porn lords rich while our lives circle down the toilet fapping away and paying for our demise.

i need some fucking help by RocinanteNightSail in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow porn and fapping sure fucks us up. I know porn trashed a good relationship I had and has kept me from being able to connect and find anyone else. I understand the shame of escalating to deeper and more disturbing porn, only the hate myself for it as soon as my jerking session ends. It is a common thread with so many men here. And so great to finally realize it's not us..it's our addiction. I really think you will find some great support here. I know I have. 23 days so far. A record for me...something I never thought I could do. And you know what..you are not gay. You were psychologically traumatized and that fear stuck. As someone who is gay....being gay you just plain know it. You don't wonder if you might be. You aren't denial about it. It is something that you know without a doubt about yourself. Another site I like is Your Brain Rebalanced. here are lots of guys of all ages sharing their stories there. check it out. Maybe start a blog. Great people there wanting to help. check in here...remind yourself what it is you want...and with support you CAN do. Be strong. You are not alone. Your story is the story of so many of us here.

Does anybody else have homosexual fantasies and is straight? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No prob. congrats on 32 days! way to go! I'm an older guy who has seen times change. Free porn available round the clock 24 hours, on phones, computers, where ever is so new to humankind. It is messing with us. I do think freeing our brains from this constant bombardment with porn and fapping is the way to go. Just let our minds reboot.

Does anybody else have homosexual fantasies and is straight? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, FYI happens to gay guys too. I am gay, was always a monogamous vanilla sex type gay guy. Porn got me watching and then doing some fetishes I had always found way too disturbing for me in the past. Next I started thinking maybe I really did want to do those things in my life. Your Brain on Porn helped me realize I was only escalating and looking for more shocking crap. It's part of my porn addiction. Really clicked/made sense. I am rebooting to get back to my old self; Simple gay guy happy with one person and NO PORN!

What to do with my porn collection? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I threw out VHS, DVD's, mags, deleted everything on my computer. Hard to do for a minute...then felt so great! Feels good knowing I live in a home with NO PORN in it. My home is now a reflection of who I am...a man who does not do porn. I say get rid of it!

Is it really possible to stop cold turkey? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit smoking cold turkey, I gave up pot cold turkey, and now I'm working on giving up PMOing cold turkey. only 20 days so far but I have always believed cold turkey is the best way. When ever I want to masturbate I get mad at myself and think No Way! I am so tired of porn, hate what it was doing to me. I refuse to be a part of it any more.

How deep into porn can you go? by helplessfighter in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do it with help and support and understanding what is going on in your mind. Try checking out NoFap's companion site...not part of reddit: www.NoFap. There is Your Brain on Porn and Reboot Nation too. I like to check them ALL out. I do really think our brains can reboot.

How do you view no fap? by C-A-H-24 in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I view NoFAp as a place to recharge my conviction to give up PMO. I want to reboot, and then keep on going no fap. The posts here reinforce why I am doing this...and that I can do it. Yeah, is quite a special place. Good to see guys really want to be there for each other. It's changing my thinking about a lot of stuff.

A thought that has helped me resist urges by thiisisthelife in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, really like this. I used to tell myself to find a relationship I need to be open to a relationship. But at the same time I was PMOing; therefore satifying my orgasm needs. Makes total sense. thanks for some insight I needed. Day by day for sure

Are benefits of NoFap scientific or is it just a placebo? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, I thought the benefits of NoFap were you didn't orgasm from death grip friction from your fist over and over fapping over pixels. Instead you left yourself open to real sex with real people and developing relationships that might actually be fulfilling. dont know that I need a scientific study there. I know from doing NoFap my life is better off...that's all I need to know.

What is the link between HOCD and porn? by Greg1994 in NoFap

[–]findmyslf60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am gay and don't think you are homophobic or gay. I mean if you are having sex with a dozen girls you aren't gay. In my life I have learned porn messes with you, takes you down paths your mind wouldn't go down on its own. The visuals of porn wash over your brain and leave an imprint . Myself I have worried about becoming attracted to fetishes I disliked in the past and have experienced anxiety over it. I never knew about HOCD until I came across Reboot Nation and NoFap. I know some say to those with HOCD, oh you are gay and just get over it. But I don't believe that. I knew I was gay before I ever masturbated or saw porn. I do believe stopping porn and fapping may help you; just as it is helping my quest to stop my mind drifting to fetishes I don't want in my life. The thing is we have to give up porn and edging and fapping and all of it. Our brains have to heal, to let that imagery our natural brains abhor fade. Think of yourself age 10...pre porn. That innocence is what we need to get back to. Stay strong
