    So, I have done, 30 days... I started in December 2016 and try a lot of time, always fail but every run has been better then before. I reach sometimes more then two weeks of No PMO. At july I reached 24 days.
    Now I have reached 30 days with one condition: I can watch porn but I cannot masturbate, and I have watched during this journey (but very few times).

    The benefits that I'm trying are:

    - focus is so high, I can follow hours of lecture at university always focus

    - anxiety is very low, I feel very less social anxiety in interaction with stranger or not

    - people seems to appreciate me more, I think because I'm more natural and expresive (body language) when I talk to them. Also some friends (wich I don't go out usually) ask me to go out with him/her.

    - I have a little bit of depression sometimes, but now it is gone. When something don't goes like I want I don't feel depression anymore.

    - I feel better my body, it's like healing itself. So, I feel good physically.

    - Lost interest in watching porn. I can watch if I want but I am not interested so much.

    - I feel that time flows smoothly and therefore I appreciate the things I do during the day




    That's all, do you have some questions?
    I apologize in advance for my grammatical error, I write this without translator support.

    I dont know liuk, the hole point of nofap is to get rid of porn for good. By doing this it seems to me that you will relapse eventually. You keep reinforcing the power this addiction has over you day after day by simply spending time watching it, instead of weakining it by firmly avoiding it. Anyway, I hope it works for you, keep us posted.

    You don't know how much time I spend on porn for week, so you can't say if it's a reinforce for the addiction or not.
    That time decrease every week. Week after week I feel less interested on it.

    Well, I used to spend hours every day to PMO and also tryed on a reboot to whatch porn every couple of days just to see if anything changed. All it takes its a bad day to destroy our already weakened will and give up to justifications to just PMO this time. If I could cut it completly you can too. Maybe you have to pay attention to your triggers (social media, youtube) and avoid them. Also get occupied, distract yourself, read books, go out for a run or with friends. You can be better than this, cut it from the root.

    no point telling a heroin addict to keep his needles and dope around him once in a while to "wean off the feeling to shoot" porn rewires you brain and hence you should abstain from any sexually related stimulation for a significant time. even if you dont fap those images will burn on your mind till you cant resist the next urgr

    That's a huge mistake you're making, it's so easy to relapse again and it happens so fast. It happened to me, just from seeing a picture of a half-naked woman.

    It's hard untile the second week, after that I have watched porn whitout problem. After day 25 I don't watch porn.

    I think it's more hard if you watch porn after one month that you don't watch anything.

    Good job on reaching 30 days! I hope to get there on my first try! But yes, try and watch less and less porn each week as this site is all about getting rid of the porn/masturbation addiction for good. Keep going strong!

    Just go full on hardmode without giving two cents of what may lie ahead and youll survive I guarantee you.

    Just need to grow some testicle fortitude and take the hill. I am 100% confident you can do it.

    But You don't think that if you can watch porn because you chose that can be watched and you don't watch because you are not interested is better than don't watch because you forced yourself to abstain.

    I repeat for the last time, I'm not watching porn from day 25 until now (7+ days) not because I forced myself bit because don't fell the need.

    Yes, I'm considering that. In the past 4 days I had a lot of free time and have watched some porn. Doing that I became so horny, but I resisted and haven't masturbated.
     
  15. First of all good for you to reach this far. But I would like to ask something which a lot of folks here already have.
    It literally takes just one peek to relapse. I would have accepted that you masterbate without porn because its hard to let go of it. You need to understand that its fundamentally porn that caused your mind and body to mess up, not masterbation or orgasm by themselves. Its like stacking your fridge with cheese and chocolates when you're dieting.
    Just tell me, are you trying to test your willpower or getting rid of porn? Anyone here would suggest you not to watch porn while rebooting. THE GOAL IS NOT 90 DAYS, ITS HEALING YOUR BRAIN FROM THE CONSTANT PORN ABUSE. Fit that into your mind. Once you reboot properly you'll feel like a thousand times better than you do now. Good luck :)

    The sixth benefit (the one before the last) is so dangerous as sometimes you may tell yourself that you lost your libido and watch a couple of videos to reassure that you're still a man (I've done this before many times and that made me lose my streak) so take care of that.

    Thank you at all. I'm not watching porn since my last message (4 days).

    P.s. I have tried new benefits after the thirtieth day in terms of mind function, that it can be very interesting. I will say it in 60 days streak post (if I will reach).
