maybe I'm late to the party but I am now aware that I use jacking off to porn, listening to erotica, jacking off to Pictures, Watching asmr videos as a way to experience intimacy. I wish I could remember though that this is all fantasy and not reality. once I get off the fantasy disapers and I'm left with reality. Lil Wayne said it best " once I cum I come to my senses " it seems though that this addiction makes me have short term memory and I eventually return back to porn or jacking off to Facebook pictures of girls I find attractive. all I want is intimacy all I want is love .... this addiction tricks me and I keep returning back to it in hopes I experience love and intimacy but just like all the other times I'm left feeling empty
That's the addiction. All your answers to what you want is in NOT fapping. Fapping is a fake friend. When you realize that, you're better off. We all have needs for intimacy. You, just like I have, found it through porn. We thought it was here helping us and that it did no harm. Now we know better and need to find intimacy and connection through real life. Nofap is the answer. You got this!

Shoot isn't that the truth...Though we ditch the porn we search for a new way to get our fix or feed our addiction. For me I ditched all my technology but then started to drive to a porn theatre...seen some things there off screen that only validate our need for deeper drives. Still the move is to keep driving away and finding other things to take the place of those affections to porn. Also I had to stop going to Facebook myself so I know how you feel man.
it's true with this addiction once you quit something it will try to find another unhealthy outlet. I had deleted all social media for about a year if not more than that but last week I made a mistake. I wanted to use some dating apps bumble, happen, tinder etc but all those damn apps require you to have a facebook. before you knew it i relaped than relapsed again today because I kept all the dating apps. I'm not going to get fooled 3 times I deleted everything today including facebook
I know what your going through. Trust me I'm 15 and all I want to do is to stop ✋. I've been addicted for 4-5 years and I want to stop. But I always go back to it because I have the same things going through my mind and always go back. I want to stop. And I know people want to stop too, so that's why I'm gonna try my best to help and get help so what I would do 1. Keep company 2. Take a walk or exercise 3. Read a book and get off the phone 4. Get some filters in bowsers and get someone you told and trust about the addiction to make a password so that it will prompted up if you try and go on "entertainment" 5.thats all I got
