Difference Between Just Watching and Watching While Fapping (Question)

I'm not sure what the general consensus is, but to me watching porn without masterbaiting seems like the epitome of pornography addiction (same goes for edging).

Anyway I wouldn't recommend it because it will lead to you masterbaiting

 

Pornography is the main culprit in this whole NoFap community. The majority of us turned masturbation into a problem once we started viewing porn. I say no porn. When you watch it while trying not to fap you are teasing your brain. Porn can also interfere heavily with daily life away from the computer (example: you may often start fantasizing about women you see while at a store or in school which can lead to bad relationships).

Personally, I have struggled with watching porn while not fapping and it is very difficult at first. After a while of NoFap I ended up having a very minimal interest in sex and women. I believe this is my body's natural way of telling me to look for a potential life partner rather than someone to have sex once or twice with (although I am fine with living single and child-free for the rest of my life). I plan on resetting my counter on April 1st (not a joke) because of my minimal, NoFap porn-viewing (and because I feel much better starting on a 1st).

Trust me, you will be better off leaving the porn behind regardless of your plans to not masturbate. As a 27 year old male who's suffered with porn and masturbation problems since I was much much younger I recommend turning off the porn while you are young. You will live a much healthier and happier life as a result.

 

Watching porn is a very bad thing to do if you're trying to avoid masturbation. The only thing it will do is stimulate you and make you want to masturbate even more, often you will begin contemplating quitting NoFap just from a few videos of porn. Another thing to note is that it's actually possible to ejaculate without even touching yourself. When you're on NoFap you're hornier than usual, and with enough concentration and turn on from the porn videos, you can actually release a load without physical stimulation. I've attempted NoFap before and experienced this myself. I tried watching porn without masturbation, and I managed to reach the point of almost ejaculating without even moving a muscle, luckily I pulled myself away and shut down the porn before it could actually happen.

 

Don't watch the porn. First it starts out as "i can just watch it and be fine". But then down line it will come back to masturbation and you're brain will be like "just once, i'll only do it once". Next thing you know you're back into the addicted routine. The fact that your questioning if it's ok to just dip your toes in is a sign of addiction. That's not judgement, that's a fact. Stay vigilant my friend, don't watch porn. Fight the temptation!
