I've gone off porn quite a lot after learning about how bad it can be

[zephyr]

I tend to look for videos to watch, which are all about why porn is bad for health and society. There's some really shocking stuff out there against porn as a whole. Anyone else here going through the same thing?

What else can a nigha do to cope

I've been jerking off a lot lately

I've learnt many things from the members of this website and I am full of awe and respect for them. They are very few websites that are like this.

The best thing I learnt is NoPorn and NoFap. Since mid 2018 I've been on and off NoPorn/NoFap and now I'm almost a year without any porn at all.

The last porn scene I watched is, oddly, stuck in my mind though and the temptation is still there but now it's very very easy to ignore.

I've kept notes and I don't think it's just a cope as some say, for me at least. I've noticed physical differences with the NoFap. For example I have to shave more often now and sometimes colours seem so bright and vivid I just stand and stare at them.

We are enticed into so many bad habits in daily life. From every angle problems are aimed at us. Bad food, bad books, noise, stress from everywhere, no rewards, no family, bad healthcare, The list is endless.

Bit by bit I'm learning to not fight back, but simply dodge these problems.

I've never seen a single compelling argument from nofap advocators. @Overdosed do they hold any grain of truth?

Their argument hinges on prolactin and testosterone (subsequently estrogen), both do in fact change after orgasm. Men do get a spike in test after getting aroused, the prolactin is released after ejactulation and it increases your estrogen sensitivity, which the test aromatize into, and lowers your dopamine, causing you to become lethargic.

The issue, of course, all of this applies that male sex-havers shouldn't also cum, but that's almost the antithesis of the noFap movement. Not like NoFap ever convinced a foid think of you as a Chad nor will it make you become one.
Using a DIM supplement and a dopaminergic agonist &/or GDNF upregulator after cumming would probably have same affect as nofap, but, do we honestly believe that they'll magically change one into a better person?

NoFap will likely die out as a movement as the reason why men want to cum hasn't gone away (& probably never will).

yep I haven't touched porn since 2011, it's not mentally healthy, only look at hentai cuz it's drawn so it's not as bad

I've noticed most are unable to truly grasp, differentiate, and, apply cause & effect not only to subjects but their own lives. those who are apparently ,,addicted" to pornography are by far, usually males who can't attain a sufficient number of partners in real life, they normally resort to pornography, as a substitute, and, then as it consumed a part of their lives, they stumble upon motivational ,,self-improvement" videos and think they've finally found the elixir for all their life problems, and the main one is ,,pornography". those videos are very fraudulent in the sense that sell a solution which to be achieved is necessary a ,,sacrifice" i.e cutting pornography.

 

[OwlGod]

the irony is that, if ,,addiction" was ever an issue, then they should totally cut their own internet consumption.

Exactly. They need the and honest meta-cognition, not a straight jacket so they won't touch themselves.
