question for those who don't check out women, does it ever get easier?

    this is mostly aimed at ppl who purposefully avoid ogling/gawking at the bodies of the opposite sex, and also try to not entertain sexual daydreams/fantasies. (sometimes called the "No Arousal Method")

    Does it ever get easier? like, averting my gaze whenever i'm walking past female bodies is difficult at the moment, and yes i understand it's worth it for the reboot, but like, will it ever become more 2nd nature? It's just kinda annoying to always have to look up or to the side or downwards whenever a pair of juggs or a caboose goes past me. And i'm curious what the experience is like for people who have been opracticing this for a long time, as i'm just kinda starting out.

    And also, for those who don't know why anyone would do this, it's basically because staring at women IRL still releases dopamine, & potentiates the same neural pathways ofd a PMO addiction. same with sexual fantasy. you can read more about here: it https://yourbrainrebalanced.com/for...ousal-method-celibacy-of-body-and-mind.14525/

    Thank you for any feedback!

    I actually just made a reply about this but tldr: yes, it gets easier & eventually fully controllable. I went into it a bit more here if you're interested: https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?t...hat-worked-for-me✊.343906/page-2#post-3529747

    You seem to understand the overall science of it so yeah, over time your brain will change and you won't be controlled by those old pathways. I can actually have female friends now without seeing them sexually at all. That seemed impossible a few years ago. Just keep at it and you'll get there too!

    That's good news then. being able to have a more controlled sex drive is something i'm definitely going to welcome when it comes. As for now, I definitely have to consciously look away from cues and triggers, although I have noticed that even just in the past couple days, it's becoming a little more easier and natural to do this.

    The progress you've made of being able to have female friends w/o viewing them sexually is great! I also feel good not simping over the women in my life, cause it doesn't feel good to be in that sort of lowly, begging posture in a way. it feels better to not be needy.
