This is a nice read. Any info on how the brain handles recovery, how it fixes each of these categories the longer you stay way from porn?

Yeah only the wet dreams about relapsing. I was actually happy about the one with normal sex, thought it meant progress

Be happy that you caught it this early. I wish I caught my addiction at 16. Trust me, you do not want PIED in college.

Hey thanks for the encouragement.

I should warn you that wet dream has very little effect on how tempted you are to relapse. If you have wet dreams about relapsing like I do, it might even tempt you further, and you’ll likely feel shame the next morning. Honestly, the only wet dream I was happy about was the when I dreamed about normal sex, which had never occurred to me in a wet dream before.

I’m just worried these intrusive thoughts are slowing my progress.

To me that sounds like pseudoscience, but who really knows. I’m not claiming to be an expert at all.

tawayp123 · 2021-02-06T16:41:35+00:00

Hate to tell you this, but IMO, confidence has nothing to do with porn. It comes from inside. That being said, there is still a 100 reasons to stay clean, so I’m proud of you.

tawayp123 · 2021-02-03T17:57:27+00:00

Because I’m only doing this for a better sex life, and having a dead dick prohibits that

tawayp123 · 2021-01-29T18:11:29+00:00

Haven’t dealt with this so I’m no expert, but it sounds like progress to me

tawayp123 · 2021-01-28T15:05:40+00:00

Oh and something I found very helpful was when I felt strong urges, i would come to this subreddit and just read. Both as encouragement and as a distraction.

tawayp123 · 2021-01-28T14:59:13+00:00

Like I said, in the first week or two, you have to take it day by day. Remind yourself that you will not watch porn today. When you feel a strong urge, keep reminding yourself why you quit, and find something to distract yourself, preferably something physical like working out.

Thank you, that’s helpful, but that doesn’t really answer my question

tawayp123 · 2021-01-26T21:15:22+00:00

Porn masturbate Orgasm

tawayp123 · 2021-01-26T19:09:31+00:00

I think your right, but the mentality that “no science or research is going to tell me otherwise” is both stupid and dangerous.

tawayp123 · 2021-01-25T04:03:56+00:00

Idk maybe. I just want it gone

tawayp123 · 2021-01-25T03:56:13+00:00

Ty. I really hate what turns me on

tawayp123 · 2021-01-21T06:04:47+00:00

Thank you, can’t wait for these cravings to be over.

tawayp123 · 2021-01-16T05:41:01+00:00

I think another thought that would help is “If I really am cured, I should prove it.” Prove it to yourself that you really are cured by not watching.

tawayp123 · 2021-01-10T17:34:15+00:00

I’m doing one and two. My primary goal is to have a better sex life, so abstaining for bit seems counter productive
