No FAP or no porn?

What is the difference?

In my case, I believe the addiction comes from consuming porn and FAP.

I believe there are a lot of differences between masturbations by yourself with your imagination, only that, or do it when you are consuming porn. At least in my case, when I use my imagination, I imagine real scenarios that happened to me.

When I use porn, I can be a lot of time, and there is much probability that I masturbate again in a very short period. However, in my opinion, masturbations without porn are not such addictive as watching porn. At least in my case.

Hence, I believe that if I don’t have sex with anyone, masturbations without porn, they are not such destructive. At least from my point of view.

I am here in this place, because I would like to abandon porn.

What is your point of view?

Hi mate!

I would buy other reasons, like when we FAP, we are more tired, with less energy and we are less productive, I usually am more focused on my goals when I don’t FAP…, But please don tell I would be worried about vitamins, because with a good diet we can overcome some FAP.

My point is consuming porn is something that gives us the necessity of masturbation several times and a long period of time, even doing it during long periods every day and multiples times. I see that as a real problem.

Physically, nofap is better, but mentally, you do need to go without porn and masterbation. This is because both of these are short term gratification products. They make us feel good now, but don’t help us in the long run or even hurt us in the long run. Porn and masterbation are some of the worst of these things, among drug addiction, smoking, and alchohism.
The most healthy lifestyle involves almost cometely cutting out these kinds of activities, of course we need some pleasure in the moment to keep us motivated, but doing it constantly is only dragging us down. So we can do good things that will help us in the long run and use non-harmful activities of short term gratification to reward ourselves. Things like watching a movie after a long, hard day at work. Make sure to reward your brain the right amount for the task though, eating an entire cake after finishing an assignment is just making your brain think an assignment is worth a cake. Be diligent in your activities and give yourself proper rewards for the activity.
I reccomend the book 12 Rules for Life, an antidote to Chaos. In this book, Jordan Peterson goes into great detail on this subject and I’m sure you’d find it insightful.
Tl;DR porn and masterbation are both bad, do things that are good for yourself and give yourself pleasure with things that don’t harm your body and mind for rewards. Read 12 Rules for Life.

Dude, I like your point of view and I will to look for the book 12 Rules for life, in that sense, I will tell you my opinion when I read it. And you are right, I need to be concerned about the activities which give rewards, and I believe that the first step for that is think about them and starting a diary . I think I will start with that.

My point is I have been addicted to porn for many years, and now, I think I have enough strength to think about the necessary steps to finish with that addiction.

Thanks for your opinion mate
