I was in a 32 day streak. I felt so amazing during that time. Then I had a wetdream then relasped 4 times in a 5 day span.
In my experience that's pretty normal. It sucks but you just need to get through the rough patch, and gain some momentum again until the chaser effect fades.
Standard stuff. This is why it is better to avoid edging. You do not want to wake up chaser effect - you need to be aware of all sorts of sub-porn in the future.
I mean erotic stories, nudity in TV series and games, photos from social media. Every kind of stuff that can be used instead of porn to get arousal.
I honestly think that damn chaser effect is the reason I am still here after 18 months I joined. I can do great for many days, have amazing sex with my GF and then in the few hours all I want to do is come again, whether with or without porn. I need to learn to live trough it. And especially avoid bingeing on it. That's what I am doing. Nothing to do with horniness. I honestly never made it to 32 days - and congrats for that - although I am allowing myself to have sex with my GF. Will see how it goes. When it happens, just reset the counter and start over. All therapists I saw are saying that usually, masturbation isn't the problem - porn is. So I don't know - maybe a one time masturbation after a wet dream isn't so bad. Avoid porn and try to avoid binging. Before you maturbate of fire a browser page, just listen to your body - are you really horny?
Yes sir. I will be super vigilant next time I have sex with my GF. Will have my face on these forums for sure. New here?
The chaser effect is what shows me that we are truly addicts. If we weren't it would be one and done when we relapse.
