Yes.
It's hard but it's doable.
You will respect yourself much more once you succeed.
Do it, *******!

No point in nofap. All that happens during nofap is you get hornier. Like being on vacation and you cant fap, you get super horny.

reason im trying to quit fapping isnt because of some weird sh*t i read on the internet lol its just not something i feel good doing, makes me feel mentally weak, extremely weak, like a fat dude who wont stop eating junk food, or an alcoholic that always finds excuses to get one more drink, it annoys the sh*t out of me to be like that.

I believe in step by step deescalation.
Something like:
1)fap howevermuch you like but only to pictures
2)only to softcore pictures
3)only to sloots you find on the misc (aka SFW)
4)then limit fapping to 4x a week
3)then 2x a week

The truth about any addiction is whether or not you are even physically dependent it can be overcome from within yourself. All it takes is for you to make a conscious choice to not continue the behavior, and when the urge or want to do something arises, you just need to remind yourself that you have chosen not to do it and do something else instead. The problem is the desire to stop ultimately needs to be quite strong or have a really solid decision and within the actor, the real struggle is trying to force other people to change. It has to come from within

Yes. Sex is completely different. Porn is actually horrible for your brain. And fapping just makes you docile unless you can minimize it

I wouldn't say I had an addiction to porn, but I watched it daily and fapped daily for a while. Then cut out both.

Been on no fap for a while. I drain the pipe once in a while to reset. That's it. So much better.

Otherwise you end up fapping to tik tok videos and tranny porn like half the miscers on here.

Weak mind. Train your mind to be uncomfortable. Take cold showers, 14-16 hour fasting occasionally, cut out coffee or thc or booze for a few days. Your mind is stronger than you think.

dont drink alcohol, coffee or smoke, i've been doing the cold shower thing for a while, also did occasional fasting, but yeah i think if i mentally condition myself i can do it, just gotta suppress that urge.

This.

Its unrealistic to think you would just never fap ever.

But try not to do it all the damn time, try to limit the time you spend on it.

I used to fap like crazy as a teenager and early 20s and somewhere around mid to late 20s I just did it less and less. Now only a few times a week.

be careful cutting off the fap. it can lead to some questionable sexual choices. I think its important to have a fap before you act policy personally. Dont want to end up banging some craigslist tranny because you got too horny.

This is a book adopted from the quit smoking book by Allen Carr to quitting pornograpgy, it basically goes into the psychological effects it has on the brain and the tricks your brain plays on you to make you think you have to keep coming back for more. In truth there is little to no withdrawals unlike other addictions. It's helped alot of people quit pornography.

For all his faults, Jordan Peterson has a great take on it. Don't quit porn to quit porn, reflect on why you want to quit it, the harm it is causing you, and what you hope to achieve by getting rid of this poison.
