    I'm thinking over here... I'm almost 90 days no PMO. Should I go back to porn? How long does NoFap last? Should I do it forever? Never watch porn again? Is it worth it going back to porn? Part of me is like "I don't need this. I'm better without it." Another part is like "You made it 90 days, are you gonna keep doing it forever? Are you never masturbating again? Don't you wanna go back to porn after you reach 90 days?"

    Why do you want to go back to porn? There's no need of going back again, aren't you happy you achieved your goal? You should give up porn forever, that would be good.

    You can masturbate without porn you know. You could even try meeting real people and having real sex.

  7. NO! If you go back to porn, the 90 days was just a waste of time. Porn is not worth having in your life. Porn gives you absolutely nothing to gain, but takes away so much from you. Keep going strong! Life will only get better from here.
     
  8. You have gone so far. Why would you even think of putting in vain your perseverance to renew your life. Infact, there are those who envy you are able to last that long without PMO. Keep your focus. Be happy :)
     
  9. Look dude, you need to go in deep with NoFap. Red pill this sh**. Start reading the "New to NoFap" forum. See how f*** up it can make people. Porn is poison and shouldn't be something you'd ever consider going back to. Like, what? I get it...with our sex positivity culture, porn doesn't seem that big of deal. I mean, if the pornstars enjoy it and no one is spreading diseases, who cares right? I felt that way before NoFap.
    Except I wasn't happy when I used it. If you were, you wouldn't be here. So what has changed? Certainly not porn. And if it hasn't changed then it is only going to make you unhappy again. Not worth it.

    Fuck porn.

    No, I don't wanna go back to porn after I reach 90 days. I have lost an incredible amount due to PMO - career, financially, socially. Why in the world would I want to go back??

    That's up to you ultimately. Make a pro's & cons list and make a decision.

    This sounds like your porn addict brain trying to get you to take up your habit again. There's nothing magical about 90 days, some people (myself included) take much longer to recover.

    Masterbate without porn/fantasy if you need to but don't go back to porn.

    90 days is amazing. A lot of people are envy of you. Most people relapse. When your on a roll, you should ride that roll. It's not easy to do the next 90 days of nofap. One relapse can fxxk up the whole thing. I heard people do 90 days and then relapse every 4 or 5 days. Is that what you want?

    I'm concerned I won't make it to 90 days. I'm jealous of you

    If you want to chuck all that away, that is up to you. I just think you're crazy.

    Why did you join nofap in the first place?

    This shouldn't be a thread, makes me upset

    Dude, why did you stop then? You think the porn days are some sort of golden days of your life?

    Well they only "looked" like that, it's all a "happy" illusion that keeps us slaved. Mine was shattered when the clock started thiking and Jesus said GET UP AND DO IT!

    So I'll ask again, why are you in this journey? It is what will mantain you in this path.

  15. What are the benefits of watching porn vs not watching it? Just put them on a piece of paper and see are there more pros or cons. I can't make a list for you, cos we all are effected by this slightly differently. But I can make the list for me, and maybe you can relate to some of this.

    Pros of watching porn:
    • Gets rid of stress; works as a relaxing sedative drug
    • Time filler when bored
    • Helps to temoralily forget your life problems and brush them under the rug
    • Masturbation and orgasm is more pleasurable because audiovisual stimulus is more intense than just fantasies alone
    • Watching porn is just generally pleasurable because it releases dopomine
    Cons of watching porn:
    • It's addictive; you might lose control
    • Desalinizes brain to dopomine; might promote procrastination, depression, apathy, anxiety, brain fog
    • You might get caught and feel embarrassed
    • You don't really feel good about yourself cos you know you are making love with your hand and pixels, not real woman
    • Can twist your perception of women and relationships
    • Too munch PMO can cause hormonal imbalances; might promote acne, insomnia, migraines
    Pros of not watching porn:
    • You will develop discipline and will power; might promote increase in self confidence and decrease in procrastination
    • You will repair your dopomine receptors; might promote the ability to enjoy mundane things, such as having conversation with friends, way more
    • You will avoid danger of developing potential addiction
    • You will probably be more motivated to find a woman; might promote possibility of real sex and development of meaningful relationships
    • You will have healthier perception of opposite gender and relationships
    • You won't have to worry about somebody finding out your browser history
    • You will have more free time
    • You will be forced to actually deal with the problems of your life rather than forget them by using porn
    Cons of not watching porn:
    • You will have to find another way how to get ride of stress and sedate yourself
    • You will have to find another thing to fill time with when bored
    • You will have to find another way how to brush your problems under the rug (I recommend alcohol or heroine addiction, both decent substitutes to porn)
    • You will just have to find a woman to have real sex with if you want to have stronger orgasms

    What was your purpose in stopping?
    What are you working towards?

    And really think deeply on this, because you have accomplished something that truly merits some thought - where you trying to change who you are as a person, are you wanting healthy relationships, what...what do you want out of this? Where are you going with it? 90 days is incredible, man! That is awesome! What does it feel like to have accomplished this amazing and difficult goal? How does how you feel now compare to how you felt before? How does who you see yourself to be to be compare to who you saw yourself as before?

    As a guy on day 24 who is tired and kinda despairing about exams and the point of pushing through this, I wanna know! Please let me know what you come up with.

  18. Porn is sick, unnatural, and unrealistic. Stay far away, it will mess you up.

    As far as MO, I don't know, whenever I have tried just MO it sucked me back to P. So if you do decide to do MO be very careful and don't let it get out of control.

    1st of all congrats for making almost to 90 days. On the masturbation without porn I am still confused myself but masturbation with porn is simply NO. Porn is NO. Just think what porn have given you that you want to change your direction to it. What will you get if you turn to that direction? One thing you may or will surely get is that you will again fall in the trap of PMO. So make this 90 days as foundation to greater things. If you want to change your direction try to think of things that you missed while you were in the grasp of porn and change your direction to those. Again porn=NO.
