    I start to wonder , do i really have a porn Addiction? Because on the course of this days i read alot of storys from you guys and actually i found nobody that does the samething i do, before NoFap i would fap 1time per day and just 5 to 10 min , after that i had absolutely no interess to porn and when i go to Porn sites i always M the fastest way so that i have the O , dont know why but before the O sometimes i feel its boring , hummm its strange .

    Today after 42 days i relapsed and , honnestly i still feel the beneficts and i didnt feel any more urge to go PMO on the course of the day .

    Also the really big thing i liked about PMO is the feeling of calmness that i had after PMO , is this and Addiction or a stressrealive?
    Cuz sometimes when i found a girl atracctive and i notice that She is probably 90% atraccted to me but i dont have the guts to approach her , what i did was going watch P and PMO , after that i felt better and with less negative toughts, strange ....

    Not everyone go through the same thing. Some people pmo only one a week, or even watch p once a month. I don't think it matters, as long as we crave it or find "comfort" in it. Then I think something is wrong because p is not normal nor natural.

    By definition, this still falls under an "addiction".

    i also feel this way.. even if i don't do M, but if u still consider it as a kind of "shelter" then something may be wrong.. at least, that's how i feel about it.. and also, the regret, if u regret afterwards and blame urself thinking u could have had a "clean" moment instead of that instant bliss and feel that the clean moments are much more valuable, then u start realizing u have a problem.. my mind knows the problem.. just that.. bad habits keep up

    Yup i agree with all of you! It is a shelter k have no doubt about that , i use that as a shelter for somethings than happen .
    Probably my brain started putting on my head this doubts because he wants to go back to the old ways

    It is an lighter Addiction , probably Thats why i felt easily and quickly alot of the beneficts and didnt had any true hard time , i should blessed about that and thank God! And use it as motivation to go further on to NoFap , not to quit NoFap

    You seem to have a healthier relationship to porn than most other people here, but the fact that it has become a habit for you to pmo means that you are at risk to develope worse problems once you go through a difficult time and start using porn to feel the calmness you described.
    I would reccomend to keep avoiding porn, or at least to make sure that you keep the risk of developing worse habits at minimum. You might for example avoid onlineporn and instead just buy a playboy or something, or stay with your fantasies.

    Well if it is an healthier relationship with porn i realy have to thank God on that , because it was totaly unconsious!

    The thing i realizei , when i started to fap is that the intensity of the O would decrease from O to O , so i never did 4 faps by day or more , i did some experiments and realized that it wasnt presourous has if i did just 1 time . And honnestly when M sometimes i really felt bore and did my best to quicker the O .


    I had some hard Times on the 9 years i ve being doing that (altough im not a depressive person, im actually the opposite) andmy habbits of PMO never changed nomatter the mood i was , thank God again, because now i realise that , that isnt normal on PMO .

    I did some MO ,with fantasys , just closed my eyes , but i even stopped to do that because i always feel that, that is fake , even when im fapping i always have the feeling that is fake .


    Still i Will continue doing NOfap, because i feel beneficts ,alot! And it isnt that harder to me , and the withdraw sintoms i never felt them, just a little decrease of the beneficts but i could feel they were there

    I personally don’t think there is a “healthy relationship with p” . It’s just not right nor natural.
    That being said, you might be less addicted to it (like most of us at the beginning) so changing now would hopefully be easier for you!

    Good luck.

  9. Yes you do have addoction from reading your post.

    Addiction is basically doing something (normally that has negative effects) to escape your reality

    Addiction will make you question whether or not you have an addiction.

    It will justify any reasoning necessary to get you to commit to an unhealthy behavior in order to receive its reward.

    Just being here is proof enough for me that i have an addiction.

    If i am questioning whether or not i have an addiction, i probably do.

    Just because you're not as addicted as others doesn't mean you won't gain anything from stopping. I didn't have it as bad as others but I'm sure glad i stopped. You must know something is off to end up on this website anyhow.

    Thanks strong girl and guys , you are all right!
    It was my mind trying to trick me and start again the unhealthy routine .

    I feel alot of the beneficts, realy and what surprises me is that i actually didnt felt any flatline nor withdraw sintoms, that actually made me thinking if i was doing this right , or if i really have an Addiction, but it was my mind tricking me

    So i ended to fap and stop my streak of 42 days at the first time , altough that i dont feel i Lost the beneficts, now im on day 3 ,aiming for a minimum of 60 days
