at a full week now. feel like it's progress to know I can consistently refrain from doing it for more than a day or two. I just moved yesterday and maybe it's stress from that but I'm having a really hard time today. just wanting a release so bad. if I felt confident I'd be able to connect...

Man, yeah, I guess I'm just wishing for some clear form of structured guidance so I can know for sure when I'm "better" but I think you're right and I gotta make the journey to figure out what that looks like for me. Thank you.

i hear you man. it's so much more tantalizing when they can offer that personal connection. good for you for setting those boundaries for yourself (y)(y)

I made it four whole weeks. Today I'm back to day zero. More details in this post: https://forum.rebootnation.org/index.php?threads/21779/ I wasn't sure how I felt about it, it was very unexpected. Ended up having a lot of feelings about my ex come up today and just full-on MO'd to her later on...

I appreciate the input! I thought I had seen somewhere in the resources someone talking about cutting out any arousing media like Instagram or dating apps because of the way it's replacing actual physical intimacy

So I've been doing this nearly a month. at day 28. I think maybe I've led myself away from P by focusing on the possibility of finding real partners to connect with and rewire myself to those experiences. So I got back on a dating app. It wasn't that bad until this morning. I actually kind of...

Day 20. Got really drunk last night with my new roommates to celebrate signing my lease. There were a couple flirty girls out at the bars. I still automatically want to picture almost every girl I see naked. But at the very least, I noticed I was able to just enjoy the basic interaction of...

Day 17. Honestly impressed with myself. The best tools I've found so far have been cutting down on computer time and focusing on what I'm gaining from the reboot, how important it is to me to be able to connect deeply with a partner even if I don't have one right now. The tempations so far have...

Been very exhausted, working a lot. Had a few moments of temptation but on the whole been fairly successful avoiding seeing any sort of distracting material online. Mainly it's helped to not be on my computer very much. I do find myself constantly fantasizing about women I see in public. I...

I've got a really supportive therapist that knows I'm doing this. Also I just put in an application for a really cool rental place so the move may be happening fairly soon if all goes well

i have not replaced it, i honestly have no idea what i would replace it with. i don't have a living situation i feel great about so shutting myself in my room and distracting myself is always the easiest way to spend my time at home. i am preparing to move to a new town fairly soon and am hoping...

Made it 1 week. Have a day off from working, nothing on my calendar, just sitting at home. Played some video games and it just stressed me out. In response to that stress my brain is telling me I should look at sexy pictures. I want a dopamine hit to offset the stress but that's not going to...

Made it to the end of day 5. Hit some definite challenges but I'm still here 😊 A friend who I've previously fooled around with posted some pictures on Snapchat that got me excited. I messaged her and we flirted a little. Wanted to spend some time with those pictures but I refrained. Then I...

Day 4. Very tired and aching for an easy hit of dopamine but I'm not going to do it. Posting this and then shutting down the computer for bedtime. Feeling pretty confident that I can avoid it but I'm still tantalizing myself with fantasies and thinking about attractive women I see out in public...

Hiiiiii errybody :)🌈✨ I was exposed to internet porn at a young age, probably 10/11 Started having sex at 17. The first few times didn't have any physiological problems. But it didn't take long for the DE to start happening. Could not reach an O from intercourse-- unless I fantasized about...
