Which is worse?

Probably, the first one ist the worst

 

It's a bad dichotomy. The first one prepared you to relapse. Also the idea that you won't get a single sexual thought is unrealistic. The second attempts to replace porn with psubs and thinks it'll get rid of your addiction. Also the idea that you could get through a year without masturbating while still watching things that could trigger relapse is not the best idea.

In reality you need to accept that you are on this NoFap journey and won't watch porn or psubs or masturbate. NoFap is a journey, your choice to accept it or not.

 

Quitting altogether is the way to go

 

Congrats on over a year without masturbating!

As far as porn is concerned, if you are using psubs to break your porn habit I guess it's ok in the long run. But I definitely recommend you thinking of them as training wheels. Once you feel like you can stop watching porn because you watch the psubs then make efforts to stop watching psubs. Otherwise you will get the same dopamine addiction from the psubs that you are trying to lose with porn.

Best of luck to you

 

indulge my ignorance but what are psubs exactly ? This forum interested me because for the last 3 months I've been doing the first method but i always reach 30 days and relapse (due to urges not intentionnally) . Maybe the second method is more effective !

 

Your addicted mind will always find something to substitute your addiction. I just relapsed to porn yesterday, but I managed to go over 3 weeks without anything visually stimulating. But I still fantasized, which works as a substitute to visual content. That's what I need to focus on next, limiting fantasizing as much as possible. Then I will have cut out everything overly stimulating. It's best to just cut out everything and go 100% hard mode. Though I believe it can work for example to replace porn with p-subs and then get rid of p-subs, but it is ultimately just prolonging your reboot.
