Requesting advice for dopamine addiction
Less than 5% of the time do I ever jump into porn. I don’t really enjoy it. What gets me is the need to feel like I’m doing something a little naughty. I’ll poke around the edges and see if I can accidentally be led into something I wouldn’t search otherwise. This might start with clicking something on Instagram that may lead me to porn or might not. Or checking the comments on twitter to see if someone posted a surprise thirst trap video. I kind of enjoy the wack-a-mole game. When it finally lands on porn, it is all the same and doesn’t really do much for me. It’s more the chase up to the point for finding it. Does that make any sense? I think it’s the dopamine hit from the hunt more than the kill. Would love any advice if you have a similar experience.
This is how I feel as well PW. The only way to combat this is to spend time with others and stay off the internet. The other thing that helps me is to invision what I will feel like after I relapse. Sort of like giving yourself post nut clarity without actually having post nut clarity if you know what I mean.
