Trying to quit porn/fapping again, this time with a plan rather than sheer willpower. My best attempt was one full month and it ended after a wet dream.Current plan: (for context I usually go two or three times a day)Week 1: Max 1 time a dayWeek 2: Max 1 time every two daysWeek 3: Max 2 time every week.Week 4: Max 1 time a weekAre the jumps too radical? I know its not possible for me to fully cut off from it, but i can at least significantly reduce the frequency.
What are you replacing it with?Why do you need to stop?Some people stop with no weaning period at all.
>>34914250Once you're horny, you should find a way to replace pornography and erotic images with something you can devote yourself to completely—something that leaves you, literally or figuratively, so exhausted that the idea of resorting to masturbation no longer appeals to you. Breaking the habit of masturbation completely is something to celebrate, and I hope you'll see long-term results.
replace one addiction with another. Get addicted to work. I quit porn by playing minecraft, getting addicted to it, and getting sick of it by the end of the week
was thinking about something similar yesterday, but only substracting a day per week, if you can stick to yours, congrats youre not thaaat addicted
>>34914253>What are you replacing it with?I didint know i had to replace it with something but i have a ton of things that i wanted to do/learn "eventually". Maybe "eventually" is now. >Why do you need to stopI think I am pathetic, sitting so much before a screen with tissues. I definitely want to fully quit porn, im not sure about fapping yet. I fear that in my case masturbation inevitably leads to porn.
>>34914264Weird because usually i feel horny after working out, even if i can barely lift my arms. But i suppose with enough distractions this will pass as well.
>>34914250do whatever you want with porn but masturbation is objectively healthy, nofap is a complete and utter meme. ejaculating 21+ times a month significantly reduces your chances of getting prostate cancer, by about 36% (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27033442/).
>>34914250Porn is the problem. Masturbation is healthy.No fap is a meme.You should touch yourself if your not using porn.If your addicted to pornography I would advise you stop touching yourself to it.
>>34914250Why is the dude in your OP only thinking of terminally online tranny deviantart hobbies? Why no "I should learn welding" or "I should learn how to fish?" There's more to life than media and entertainment>>34914253Not OP but retaining your seed is always an absolute good
>>34914794Notice how that 21 times a month corresponds to the 21 days in a woman's cycle she isn't ovulating.Maybe instead of shooting seed into your hand like a braindead gooner, this is a sign to be shooting it into something else?
>>34915328of fucking course having sex is preferable, it has tons of measurable benefits, but it isn't a realistic solution for most men these days (unless you're gay or extremely lucky) and it's not like masturbating once a day or so makes you a braindead gooner. unless you're some faggot who edges for over an hour.
>>34915344Bro just think about how it sounds to say "I touch myself every day." Say it out loud to yourself and see how you feel.
>>34914562>Plans to replace the easiest most pleasurable and rewarding activity with difficult, low reward, low pleasure activity
>>34914250you must journal to find the real reasons and also to find and implement the real solution then it takes itself by its heels>>34914831>>34914794The healthfulness or detriment is completely determinant by how much of a slave you are
