Nearly relapsed…

Day 4

I nearly relapsed as the sexual thoughts flooded in my head. I had a strong temptation to chat with someone in a sexual manner…I tried and didn’t do it. I didn’t browse the porn website so it is a good sign. Can I masturbate? I feel a bit urge and “full” down there which need a release. Or, should I just abstain and…just don’t? It is strange concept on how everyone says stroking is a healthy way to maintain our lifestyle yet…I am not so sure. What do you think? #embarrassed

Sebastian - your comment resonates me the most. I do not have an issue with stroking because it is not often. I notice I do it if I do have the access to the porn. So it is the biggest issue that I need to overcome - immediately.

In my opinion it’s perfectly normal as it’s hardwired in our biology. Yes people on the app are using it for no fap, but that’s not what this app was designed for. I myself still jerk off just without porn. So far I’ve only done it twice a week. I feel no shame and no guilt cause I’m not using porn to get off. And honestly so far I haven’t felt any desire to watch. Eventually I would like to try no fap for a month. But until then kicking porn is first. If jerking off doesn’t tempt you to watch porn then go nuts. If it does then stop. It’s all about how you are and your limits.

It’s basically a drug. Some people can handle drugs recreationally, some people can’t. You have to look in yourself and decide what it is, and your relationship to it.

Just don’t do it. What I do is go for a run or lift some weights. Any stroking or viewing is a relapse. You’re not gonna feel better after, you’ll feel worse.
