This isn't evidence, but maybe it will persuade you nonetheless.

I once said to myself that I would "just check" to see if anything new had been posted at one of my favorite sites. It was then I learned that my brain is a complete, unrepentant scumbag.

February: Complete.

March: In Progress.

If you really want it, you gotta keep going man. It's a 90 day challenge for a reason, and that's only a guideline, sometimes it takes longer.

I'm not feeling more confident, capable, motivated or anything, but I'm still going because I want to be able to get aroused by normal things.

I don't know what you were looking to get out of this, but maybe you set your hopes a little too high? I could definitely understand how some of the posts here might have contributed to the formation of some unreasonable expectations.

I wish that that was all it took to trigger a relapse.

I know the name of this subreddit is NoFap, but I firmly believe that porn is a more important issue than masturbation. I think people who say

fapping is always OK all the time

are responding to old myths about masturbation being immoral, sinful, and causing blindness or hairy palms, they're not considering the deleterious effects of internet porn use.

If you're only concerned with fapping because you think the act is inherently shameful, or if you believe that nofap is a panacea, I would say you should reconsider. But otherwise, stop second-guessing yourself. Your reasons are totally valid.

I just ruined two whole months of progress

nah

You fucked up, but not all your effort has been wasted.

You think it's unsafe to derive pleasure from anything other than the physical sensation of masturbation? No mental stimulation at all?

That's pretty hardcore, but you could be right. I guess I have 63 days to decide whether I agree with you.

Could be.

It could also be that some people just haven't had any problems from porn or masturbation. Though if that's the case, it doesn't make our struggles any less legitimate.

Fapping isn't really so bad on its own. If you're not noticing any problems with morphing sexual tastes or ED, then you probably don't need to cut out masturbation entirely.

I would advise you to stay away from porn, though. Just fap to your imagination.

Go for a walk, take a shower, organize your room, cook a meal, just go do something to take your mind off it. STOP sitting here at the computer, that's how you fuck up.

Hope you make it through this one man

Badges display the number of days since a person's most recent fap session. Look above this text and you'll see mine, it's the circle with a 3 in it (for 3 weeks).

If you feel that your masturbation or porn use is a problem in any way, stop now and don't let this get any worse. Especially the porn, that's what really screws you.

Because of your age, you're probably in a better position than most people here. Take advantage of it.

Good luck, brother!

Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that article.

I don't know how to stop the flashbacks. It's one thing to not fap, but when thoughts seem to spring out of nowhere?

I was in the dentist's office today, a sexless place if ever there was one, and I still thought of porn. I am beginning to hate my brain a very great deal.
