    Hy guys...I'm on day 26 here and since yesterday I have some strong urges. Beside the fact that my erection come back and I feel again like a teenager, some pervert thoughts are back. In the first weeks i was able to send away this thoughts but now they seem so "wellcomed" by the brain. Thoughts about porn ladies and thoughts about transwomen I've seen in my life. My addiction pulls these things so it can get some dopamine and sotifaction. Yesterday night I finished my work on the computer...and after some facebook watching, a picture of 4gag got my attraction. Were some japanese girls, dressed, nothing important. But it worked as a trigger. Soon after my erection was in and I started to see some othter pictures, some of them in swimsuit. I didn't went on any porn site or similar, but I was very close. This lasted for some minutes, then I managed to stop and think that if I reach orgasm I will feel so bad and throw away so much progress and I stopped. Soon after, 10 minutes? I was back again searching for a girl I've meet some days ago on facebook and fantazised on her pictures. In the end my rational part took over and I went to sleep. I din't wanted to feel bad or ashamed because I now that this would had been like a cycle. Feel bad, failure, depression and tremendous thoughts and after to cure all that porn. So I didn't wanted to consider a trigger, but in the same time I don't want to lie to myself. Dopamine flew when I watched those pictures. Maybe not like in the past, but it did. Now this morning I woke up again with an urge and thoughts about sex. It will ever disappear? Or is also a part of our natural instinct? In any way, I don't feel what happened yesterday as a failure or releapse. I feel that I've did so much controlo and gained so much since I started NoFap 26 days ago. Lots of benefits came in my life and I feel that I'm comming back to life. What do you thing about?

    You're right about dopamine being released even when we watch non-nude but sexually exciting things and especially when we're fantasizing about them. In my experience, it becomes hard for the next few days as the brain receptors get activated and the brain tries very hard to get it's porn fix. So your cravings become intense. You haven't lost your streak just yet but the next few days will be hard because you'll have to be constantly alert to not allow yourself to slip up.

    All the best

    thank you all...meanwhile my girlfriend camed and I've managed to calm down some sexual tension. Now I'm back on track. I must tell you all that the benefits of nofap on a relationships are so high! My erections are all so good and exciting. I feel a teenager again. With PMO I was starting to lose some erection. Now that i have 28 days without porn I feel like a winner. It's incredibile how many days have passed. I didn't changed so much, but I went out so many times and I finished some unfinished work left. Some energy for winning is getting back and that feels good. I saw that after sex with my girlfirend, when I'm in town I look at other girls ass (if they are hot). If I see any to hot, some bad thoughts about my past come some hours after. This happened for 2 or 3 times. I thing that there may be some psihic pain that tries to seek relief through sex and porn. With porn it did it for years and now it doesn't know how to find momentary pleasure. I must accept that pain and those bad thoughts and find a way to live with them ( and not hide behind porn and other things )
