Heres my plan thus far. I will try my best each day not to fap. Each time I do, I will reset the counter and start again, but this time increase the number of fap free days to target. I am now targetting 3 days. If I make it to four days even better. If I fap on day 4 I will reset the counter and aim for five days. This seems a slightly less pressured approach to it as it slightly more gradually weens me off fapping and porn. I noticed that I become very stressed and even slightly depressed if I want to fap but can't. However, I was feeling slightly more alert and sharp. I think though this was because of the focus needed to curb the addiction, nothing to do with dopamine. After I did fap, for the first time in a long time I felt bad for doing it. I felt I was achieving something not doing it and I had lost that achievement. This surely though will be an incentive to not masturbate for longer in the future. I think I am also going to try to stop fantasising as much, as I notice when I do I get that same rush of hormones. I was thinking of using an elastic band to snap whenever I fantasize, to condition myself not to. However, I dont want to associate sex with a negative or pain either! Any comments?
