    Hi guys,

    I decided to make a post because I need some help. I have been Fap free for weeks now and from time to time I get the naughty thoughts of going back to porn to relieve myself. I know it is stupid and I shouldn't but I have a very hard time of keeping a leash on my reptilian brain (primitive brain). Last few weeks I was in a very deep struggle with myself because I couldn't understand myself why I want to go back while I know if I go back to porn it would destroy the chances of healing my brain and my PIED. I came to the realization that I will never tame my primitive parts of my brain. They are just made this way. It is either fight or flight. I understood that it is either flight ( flew away from porn) or give in and PMO. Now I don't even try to understand my urges and justification to go back to PMO. I just run away from them. Is this a good strategy? I think this is working for me. In the past I tried to reason with my urges and it didn't work. The more I think about my urges. The bigger they become.

    Now I'm in a dilemma tough. My urges have became so big that my hands are shaking and I'm hyperventilating. In the morning I always get morning wood and I do get a dopamine rush in the morning because of erotic dreams. No wet dreams tough. I never had those. I still have PIED tough. My brain and my private parts still aren't healed. I feel so stressed. I did see a lot of benefit from Nofap thought. I'm much sharper and my speech and thoughts are much better. I feel less numb. I think this is part of the healing process.

    By the way in 4-5 weeks in planning to have sex. Do you think this is a good idea? I'm afraid if I have Sex I will loose all of my progress. When is it a good time to introduce sex in my life?

    By the way the counter in my signature isn't correct. Currently I'm 3 weeks clean.
