    Porn's Impact On The Brain

    i started watching porn at the age of 14 or 15 and now I’m 20 almost 21. I’ve been rebooting for awhile and as someone who watched porn early I can definitely feel a flatline. As for the PAWS I’m not really sure, I have quite a bit of symptoms but I’m not 100% sure so I’m not gonna assume I have...

    Flatline Symptoms: Is This Normal?

    I’m right there with ya. I don’t think I’ve had morning wood in about 6 months. But you’re definitely right now that I understand the problem and know how to fix it, it’s definitely putting my mind at ease. On the plus side avoiding porn and doing nofap will also help other aspects of my life.

    Flatline Symptoms: Is This Normal?

    Hi I’m kinda new to this, I just found out how big of a factor dopamine really is. I’m on day 17 and I definitely have most of the symptoms of a flatline which I think helps to not relapse. But what would count as a dopamine spike? Like right now I stopped listening to music and I’m lowering my...

    dopamine and pied questions

    I’ve been rebooting for awhile I started 2 years ago but I would always keep relapsing, no matter what I kept trying and eventually got better at it, I kept going on longer streaks and would find myself making progress. However I always noticed how unhappy I was and how bad I felt. There was...

    What should I do?

    Right that’s how it’s feels for me. And like I said it’s annoying and just super frustrating. I understand it’s not a relapse but it’s smt I just can’t look at.

    What should I do?

    Yea it’s crazy I didn’t know you could get HOCD from that. Even when I needed more hardcore genres inside I knew I didn’t want to watch gay or other genres, because I knew I didn’t like it and wasn’t I to that. But idk what happened and I eventually watched it. I only watched it a couple times...

    What should I do?

    Yea I’m ashamed I let it get to that. I would venture into gay and tranny. Some gangbang. Just a lot of hardcore things. The thing is I’m not into any of that. I just needed it to get off.

    What should I do?

    my best guess is I started around 13 or 14 maybe 15. I don’t really remember my memory is terrible. At first it just started out as pictures, then I found out about pornhub and sites like that so I got into just regular sex videos. I would say the last 2 years I got into really hardcore things...

    What should I do?

    Yea true. I just assume it’s a flatline. My Motivation is gone and I don’t feel like doing anything. Plus I haven’t gotten erections so I’m assuming. Yea I’m prepared for all the worst 😂

    What should I do?

    It works most of the time. Sometimes I’ll get up and play basketball or go outside or play some video games until it passes. Also sometimes when I get an urge I’ll come back and look at this website and look at all the success stories. It helps keep me motivated and then my urge is just gone. I...

    What should I do?

    Yea it’s very dangerous. No that’s what’s weird I didn’t have any wet dreams at all before. Now I’m getting a ton of them.Either way I’m fine if they go away or not. It’s a good sign for me. Also I feel bad lol. I’m watching the new season of cobra Kai, and there was a kissing scene and I kinda...

    What should I do?

    Yea you’re definitely right. It’s hard to stay busy at least for me. I’m 20 and I’m not in college due to some family issues that happened. So I’m home most of the day. I work so there’s that time I don’t have to worry about. But my daily routine is 3-4 hours max so I have to figure out what to...
