I relapsed after 135 days.. on nofap

Oh yeah, I guess the debate is over watching porn. I wouldn't say everyone watches porn. But with the internet, it's hard to see how they wouldnt.

You wank over anime? Cartoon pictures? If so that's fucked in the head... That's not normal anyway, you need to look at some proper boobies

@CloudStrife1901 That's rather closeminded. It might not be real but nor is porn, just saying. The only difference is that one is drawn while the other is not. So what exactly makes it sick? Just that it's drawn? Does that mean anyone watching The Simpsons is sick too?

At least porn are images of actual living persons, where's drawings on the other hand are not, fapping over some cartoon drawing isn't right to begin with, that's how i see it,

Also the Simpsons is a family cartoon so i don't expect people to fap off over homer Simpson while he's eating donuts

In my eyes that makes real porn worse. Those are real people you're fantasizing about, and it kind of grosses me out. But I've never liked real porn to begin with, it's just gross. Too much skin slapping together, wrinkly, wet and gross looking skin. Yuck. Nevermind that I don't even like looking at genitalia. Not my own, nor other people's.

So, we're talking about masturbation on GBAtemp now? Nice! Anyways, here's my 5 cents...

Your problem is not that you relapsed. Your problem is that you beat yourself up over it. Basically every recovering addict, regardless of addiction, relapses at one time or another (and, you wouldn't believe, but I know a thing or two about that). The difference between a succesful recovery and a complete fallback to old behaviours lies very, very often, in how the former addict handles the relapse, as a temporary problem or as a potential reason to give up the recovery (because why continue if you failed anyways?).

You also know that all those nofap theories are at least a bit controverse? I don't say porn is good 100% (in fact, I'm all for keeping your porn use moderate), but nofap is not the answer to all problems that one could have with sexuality in a relationship. Notice that I don't say this is the case for you, it's just that many nofappers come there exactly because something is not right between the sheets.

@d0k3 "Your problem is that you beat yourself up over it".....i think he was aware of that

@The Real Jdbye just out of curiosity, do you find actual sex with a human being gross, what with all the skin smacking and wet skin?

I figure it would be okay if I did it with someone I loved because I would be doing it because I love that person, not just for the sake of it, I'm just not going to go looking for one night stands or hookers.

weaboo alert?

I agree that real porn just tends to be gross and just unappealing. I just can't get into it. It's either poorly recorded or just badly acting.
Nothing worse than watching it and even the people involved aren't into it and are clearly doing it for a paycheck.

then again, watching drawn characters getting it on? ;A;
I mean i love me some good anime but i wouldn't wanna see Subaru taking Rem from behind

...or his take on it is different.

Anyways I watch porn even while I'm in a relationship. As long as it doesn't affect your life I see no problem with it.

TC - I would first try to slowly break the habit. I would do every other day. Then every 2 days and on and on like that.

Personally, I don't care what someone is into, so long as it's legal.

I think watching animated porn creates an unrealistic fantasy. And could make real sex unsatisfying or seem gross even. Also LittleFlame, my name is Rem. When I first read your post, I was like wait, what?

@jDSX

Dude, lighten up. If addiction is your issue, you wouldn't be able to go 132 days without something that is entirely normal.

@WeedZ
You think most regular porn is in anyway more realistic? I find that there's usually a few things in a random video that disgust me so that BDSM looks rather tame by comparison.
Regardless, you should just take porn as an expression of a fantasy, there's stuff I would never do that I still like fantasize about and watch, that's normal.

@Nightwish thats a good point. But I think there's porn thats more unhealthy then others. Same as people's level of addiction. Occasionally watching porn is one thing, spending everyday looking for more extreme and unrealistic stuff because you've become desensitized is another. I personally would rate hentai up there with fetish films.

If I made a blog every time I masturbated, I would be banned from the blog section.

@Crystal the Glaceon

lmao same same hahahahaha

Ha, just the thought of actually doing it makes me feel gross and awful..
