    First post here.

    Alright so today while I was in class I started to remember this hentai video I watch a while ago (like 1 or 2 years ago). While I was thinking about this video a thought had suddenly hit me "why can I remember this one very specific video but I can barely remember my uncle birthday?". This is also not the first time I remember a very niche porn/hentai

    I remember the first video I ever watch, the first video I jacked off too, and dozen upon dozen of videos I watched one or two times

    I don't want to remember it. I want to quit pornography for good but my memories is making it hard to do so when every time my mind wanders off it start thinking about porn and I end up relapsing.

    While this ever go away or am I'm just stuck with this ability to remember porn/hentai I don't want to remember forever?

    Because your uncle's birthday didn't give you an erection and an orgasm. Your mind craves the release of dopamine from when you masturbated to porn in the past. So, it will generate these memories in an effort for you to do it again and again.

    You have to stop all masturbation & porn and distract yourself from fantasies for quite a few months before these will stop.

    If it's of any comfort I suffer from the same thing. I cannot climax from fantasy so 99% of my relapses have been due to me remembering some porn videos and feeling frustrated with how fuzzy my memories were and wanting to see them again.

    Honestly that does make me feel a bit better because it makes me feel less like it just me going through this problem.

    I'm glad this makes you feel better! Welcome to the forum by the way, hope you feel at home here. I wish I had a solution to give to you regarding this issue of porn memories, unfortunately I'm still figuring this out myself. I guess an option would be to abstain for so long that the memories fade and are replaced by healthier ones, hey...

  6. If you stop now. You won't have this problem in the future. The less stuff you put into your brain. The less you have to remember.

    I have the same problem but only if I lose my goals out of my sight. Most time it hits me in the middle of the night.

    Delta Fosb. No, it's a real thing.

    Here is a link to how it works, which is way more information than you want to know.

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nlh.gov/11572966/

    Copy and paste.

    It's like this: We, all of us really, can use porn to achieve a neurological brain event, a dopamine high--it's the high that is addictive, porn just gets us there. That high "bonds" reward and high/satisfaction in the brain's memory. It is nature's way of assuring that if we get "it", whatever thing we perceive as good and satisfying, we never forget where we got it, as in, we never forget where we got the dopamine high it produces, as in, we always remember it. It is hardwired. Millions of years ago, when we were evolving, it was a very helpful trait; it made forgetting where we got water, where we got good, and where we found sex, impossible. Since porn, when abused, can produce the same reaction, we can never forget the porn that produced the dopamine high.

    Knowledge is power. To fix this problem, all you really have to do is think your way out of it. Here is the Key:

    Yea that's my plan right now I'm going 4 days strong I plan on getting to a week because when I had try to do NoFap in the pass I always last like 2 days

    At night it doesn't really hit me because sometime I'm too tired to really think about anything (Except dreaming) I usually start thinking about this stuff when I'm bored sometime I think about something I want to create other times porn.

    Exactly thinking about porn/hentai has always snuck up on me when I least expect it so I kind of have to be on guard against my mind.

    Read a little about Delta Fosb and it seems interesting to read about seeing how my brain only want more porn not because it's rewarding but because it's a easy way to get some dopamine like some sort of button that I can click and get instant satisfaction.

    I actually had heard of that website before back then but I didn't really get much into it because I was not really to keen of overcoming my addiction but now that I am I might check out some articles one that interest me is "New Documentary THE GREAT FLOP Explores Porn’s Impact on Youth" because well... I'm 16 years old and had been on this porn addicted high since I was 11 years old.

    the toxins(theyre not literally toxic molecules,but rather some kind of mass collection of thoughts)are having dead-pangs.
    you know,how a cockroach may struggle and shake with violence and abandon when sprayed with bug-raid? Well,thats it...the Bad in your mind is desperate because it's dying.

  12. OP you have vivid memories of it because its designed to be tinkering with a part of the mind thats closest to the instinctual root of our being. The whole idea of this garbage is to collapse people in on themselves like a house of cards.

    Perhaps, your brain might be trying to go back to memories associated with pleasure and relaxation, like during those moments of orgasm. It's pretty common for the mind to recall things linked to positive emotions. On the flip side, it seems like these memories are popping up during times of tension or anxiety when you're seeking an escape. I totally get where you're coming from. I used to spend a lot of time on adult content too, including sites like https://phima1.xyz/phim-18/. But hey, good news – found a great specialist who helped me break free from that cycle and identify the root cause. If you're considering it, seeking professional help could really make a difference.

    I forget basically everything few hours after, it's uncanny.
    I also don't remember what's the first porn I've seen or even the first time I ejaculated. Literally no clue when it happened.
