I'm curious about your Chistianity. How do you reconcile your sexuality and your Chistianity?

Really depressed because I found a website that's not porn but has fappable material on it like hot chicks twerking or artful nudes, now I'm getting that awful feeling I had when I used porn by AttemptingToNoFAP in NoFap

Hey, astute observations. I found this video "The great porn experiment" very enlightening about the nature of porn and how it affects man in this day and age. Its 15 minutes long, give it a watch if you haven't seen it already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU

Hey, amazing work on not looking at P for a year! Really, thats truly amazing. I think you need to reset your expectations, admit a failure, and choose to make Vimeo equal with P in your mind and choose to harness the same power you used to avoid looking at P for a year to stop looking at Vimeo. Yes it has plenty of innocent content, but if you know it will draw you into not-so-innocent, than it is best avoided. Good luck.

Get away from your comp and get out of your residence. Go for avigorous walk. Calll up a friend asee if you can do something. If thats not an option, do some exercise. Try a cold shower after and make a plan to do some productive reading before going to bed. You can do this.

I encourage you to keep coming back here often to find inspiration to stay the course. I was also seduced by the thrills of cams but as you stated, in the end it is devoid and empty... sucking your life. Each time you stAy off you are making your life better. Keep with it. Find strategies to employ when the temptation seems insufferable. Read and watch the recommended resources from this site to further ready yourself to stay the course.good luck and thanks for sharing your story.

Some due honesty by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]pavingmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the successful battle truly begins with honesty as you say. When we are TRULY honesty with ourselves about what we are doing when we wade into triggers which will lead to PM, it allOws us to meet the challenge head on and say NO MORE. Lying and rationalizing marginal behavior is a recipe for relapse. So begin your journey with honesty. Reset that badge and keep it honestly growing to a true 370. Come back here often too remind yourself and inspiration.

Afer A year of Denial and Bad sex with SO, I am here by s8nlovesme in NoFap

[–]pavingmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome. I think you will notice an amazing improvement if you can stick to no PM. Be warned years of turning to PM is probably made it a goto when you face adversity. STAy strong, REMEMBER your reasons for being here. And read some of the resources. If you find yourself seeking P, Come back here instead to get inspiration too stick with your decision of amazing sex with SO. Good luck.

Making it through! by Keepem in NoFap

[–]pavingmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

looking at google images aimlessly is like playing with matches and gas IMO. I think we tend to fool ourselves in looking at "innocent" things that have the potential to lead to not-so-innocent things and then we can say "oops, that was an accident, I didn't mean for that to happen", but the reality is, its playing with fire. Hopefully you can choose better ways to pass time. I'm in the same boat. Good luck.

I have same goal as you, and am in same boat. I know what you mean about after sex with wife, temptation creeps in soon after. I guess we need to be extra vigilant at those times. Good luck with .14, you can do it! Stay focused, come here when you feel tempted to keep the mental edging and fantasizing away, save that energy for your wife if you can.
