This is a the laziest addiction

Thanks again mate.

 

Very well written. My partner and I spoke about this the other day.

The fact that it is so easily accessible makes it so hard to overcome. The fact that there’s no “risk” (monetarily, embarrassment, or law enforcement for the most part) involved makes it so easy to remain deep into this.

Something else him and I spoke about was how porn addiction isn’t really recognized as an addiction (not in the dsm5, although you’ll find hyper sexual disorder). We came to the agreement that we think this is because if it was diagnosed and really published / researched - the porn industry would get hurt hard and there would be far more diagnosis’ than the world is ready for.

 

I think you've summarised a common misconception and the solution really well here. As much as 30 and 90 day challenges are a part of NoFap, I think the bigger picture is moving on from the challenge completely.

It's easy to look at a counter and think of your quality of life depending on the day. Reset on 0? this sucks. On 7, 14, or higher numbers? time to feel good.

But in reality if we address our main issues, it really doesn't matter what day we're on, or if we even count them anymore.
