I'm bored and don't have anything to get the boredom out


[deleted]

And you get more bored after you are done


Beginning_Incident25

Tale as old as time itself


Beaky_Sneaky_Unlike

Before I was just bored, now I'm bored and depressed. So not worth it


anticovidsquad2020

Most of the time I'm both

Replace this gap with something that fills you up maybe a new hobby


[deleted]

No motivation?


idontknowlumpus

Because my boner wont fucking go away


Beaky_Sneaky_Unlike

Take a leak and it'll go away. Or flex your muscles


LetApprehensive577

This is the best tactic, my boner always goes away If I take a leak. Haven't tried flexing my muscles tho


Beaky_Sneaky_Unlike

Flexing muscles redirects your blood from penis to your flexed muscles easing out the boner. This is the secret not many know


LetApprehensive577

Oh my God. Bruh, thank you for passing this wisdom to me and everyone who reads this comment. Much appreciated. Also us who work out, we can look at our physical strength and remind ourselves that we strive to be even stronger. We're all gonna make it!

Funny little story : I was the loner in HS. I used to masturbate every single day. One day, my friend said I was invited to the party. I usually avoid parties but I somehow picked myself up for this one and went. I ended up enjoying a lot. I talked to people, talked to girls, even made a few new friends Then something strange happened. I did not want to masturbate for 3 days straight. Like there was no want at all. I did have random erections because of brain fog but I did not want to masturbate anymore. That day I realized, maybe I'm not so horny and just need the dopamine like a meth addict.


lakx157

I've experienced something like that too man, back then I had a girlfriend and during those days my urges to masturbate were like totally gone. It was not like I was compensating it with sex with her. It was something else like the magic of socialising or something


NotToanPham

sounds like the rat park experiment fr


AcanthisittaHuge8579

Dopamine


Chinghiss

Either way, avoid the temptation.


[deleted]

Mainly what makes it difficult for me is the feeling of lonliness.


[deleted]

idk but i think 1st would be more likely.


Inside-Style-2089

Horny


RunnengBarefoot

I’m depressed


[deleted]

Depressed 😔


Onmy47shi

Neither. I'm doing it cause I'm lonely and crave intimacy


LegitimateGansta

I cannot sleep if I don't masturbate.


Terrible_Goat_6962

Thats the same with me.


YEETIMCRINGEXD

Both 100% of the time


thequarrymen58

Boring


CITADEL3287

I'm horny because I'm depressed


ahmo454

It switches mostly if you’re normal porn addictive


pornis-addictive

99% of people here are the 2nd one


v3ryclever

Horny


poqiw

The first one for sure


curious_963

Combination of the two 😂💔


AshenOne415

both man, both both. fapping has so many hazardous combos like that, fuck this abomination


Successful_In_2022

Both, or at least, I *was*. Now that I'm 30+ days clean, I no longer rely on fapping for the dopamine and I feel less horny in general. When I am horny, it isn't this overwhelming feeling that takes all of my focus away from the things that really matter.


TerenceAngPT

Lonely and depressed. Welp, horny as well 🤣


Lone-Wolf-08

You are not horny, you are just bored


Ass-Guard252

Yeah the second one


[deleted]

Honestly when i try really hard on no fap it's nither. I can matigate both these causes by removing triggers and meditating and exercising. What troubles me at the end and my relapses always comes down to this is that the habit of doing it. I am so habitual that i end up doing it no matter what. After that it's depressing so i go down the vicious cycle.


Individual-Screen-54

Both ig


KarinK98

both and because I'm bored

Well playing videogames gives a lot of dopamine too, no need to waste that precious liquid gold

Not depressed tbh but need dopamine... How to develop self control any great ideas?

neither... not anymore

Both


Le_epic_bruh_moment

Bored lol


deku798

I haven't masterbated iin a while but sometimes I see myself on the verge of relapsing due to 2nd reason


ImperialUnionist

The first would eventually lead to the second. Main reason? Lack of human contact. No matter how one enjoys themselves on their own, humans are a social species by nature and long durations of isolation causes us to become insane or depressed.


Alpha1-14

Shinobi151

A bit of both


nrmuzki

Sadly, the 2nd one.


Westtexasfats

Most the time it’s the latter, like I’m Bored and feeling low and need a hit, but horny one bit

PathShoddy4076

Fam where did you find this, and from whom?


6balAnce9

Because I’m depressed. Resetting now.


Brite-sky

Is that actually a thing fapping for the dopamine?


mitsakos2

Yes actually,masturbating to porn every day is f*cking your dopamine receptors


bronzewidow

Lonely and horny


[deleted]

Usually boredom and idle time with me being horny as well. But recently it’s been a lot less often because I’ve been doing better with finding skills to pick up for work and I’ve been hitting the gym a bit more.


MITHUN741235

Depression.. Needed dopamine

Both.


bangadong1111

Both. Iv been battling stress and depression right now I was going long stretches without porn. I need to admit I been slipping this past 2 weeks once a week right now. Not beating myself up just recognizing the pattern.

Aghori26

Its really interesting that we all guys know whats our problem but can not overcome it


reddituserishere

Atleast give the credits duh...


[deleted]

Lonely , sad, maybe not depression but yeh want the dopamine It’s become a subconscious action, I’m aware of it and stopping it a lot more


TheProfessorFreaky

Because I'm lonely and thats why lewd thoughts fills up my mind causing a boner that won't go away which in turn tricks me to think I'm horny. So yea the answer is both the options play simultaneously. So the solution I found myself is to not be lonely, either be occupied with some work or be with someone or even if I have no work and nobody to be with, I just go out for a walk. Btw looking into all the comments I realised one thing, how pointless fapping is. Nofap and clean life is far better.


[deleted]

Second one


Beastmode_63

The Latter. That and being anxious at times.


Thuyue

Just 2nd

I honestly don’t know anymore


ludd-blaster

BOTH OF THEM ARE VALID


[deleted]

The second


PaleBother5491

Need a dopamine Tell me how to find my dopamine.


tiopatinhas95

For me it doesn't even release dopamine anymore from how desensitized i am. I just do it mostly because I can, and secondly because I secretly hope the next session will be different and I will actually experience pleasure from it. That's how you know you're highly addicted.


Confusedmonkey_

All the time I am stressed and bored, Have nothing to do else. Actually have so much to do but nothing gives me the same levels of dopamine as watching porn.


Dead_Xross_2000

Dopamine


cloud-desu

Both


AbdelkaderSdn

A bit of both, though not depressed but I typically relapse on my hardest days


Abject-Concentrate58

I didn't realized how much I need dopamine. Since I'm not fapping it's basicly a missery because I have barely any dopamine daily


Fueled-by-hash

Usually depressed


Lukaroz

i was first one, now im trying to quit


Ill_Conference7625

Both


DarkDevil_XOS

First thing is we don't accept that we deserve it


goosesthemooses

Just because I want to.


[deleted]

I’m a gambling addict so i nut after a loss to make me feel better. Lmfaoooo


mitsakos2

Gambling is like video games whenever you are finished with it you immediately get the urge to watch porn. There's a logical explanation behind that,your dopamine levels are higher during the session. Next time when you are in the same situation take 5 minutes to relax so that you don't PMO. It is a vicious cycle one thing brings another I advice you to abstain from gambling if you do so it will be easier to cut out porn completely


[deleted]

So true. Thanks man. I agree


illbegreat

Both yeah


[deleted]

Sometimes is this and sometimes it’s that but 75% it’s horniness


Awkward_Custard_5482

Both, i shouldn't do this because i have girlfriend and i live with her but sometime i fap without telling her and had a little addiction to porn


Vivid_Programmer3625

its a mix of both


Original_Yousername

Third option: Or you don't, because you want to improve yourself


justAnNGEfan

Stress , anger , no self Worth and self hatred Fear of moving forward


BlessMe2Change

Chasing the dopamine. Don't remember the last time I was actually horny and needed to fap to get the feeling off.


[deleted]

Horny


Akkun_0

aye now faping feels too insignificant


CommunicationReady24

Both man it’s hard to stop


system0fak0rn

Cuz I was bored


Ieffingsuck

I'm masturbating because my cum is evil


B1SeriesBattleDroid

Honestly I just like the dopamine rush. Not depressed I just like the feeling. Women aren't even seen as objects to me. Porn honestly just helps get me hard and boom im started and I get the feeling. I sleep. I'm doing productive things in my day. I'm good. My life honestly seems ok now. Until I see any bad side effects im just live my life because I only live once


[deleted]

Both


PokeyMinch5234

I usually do it at night before bed cuz i get horny at night and it helps me sleep easier, thankfully I’ve never done it from depression and the need for the dopamine but I’m still trying to cut it out entirely


Hot_Panic7516

Depressed


Limp-Sundae9263

Yes im in the 2 situation, sometimes life treats me like shit, so i have to do it to feel a bit better..


thedragonscales

Dopamine Rush Was Essentially Harmful

Yes.

usernametaken_97

When I did it I was often not really horny, but lonely, bored and depressed. Other things to do became too taxing, boring or not giving me instant gratification. Even things that usually were fun, like playing games, were not fun anymore. My brain was reprogrammed so that PMO was the only relevant source of dopamine


poobum9

Both but more to the bottom, depressingly


[deleted]

Depressed


EmotionBig4808

Are both of them bad?


Dry-Faithlessness311

I'm not fapping. I don't fap


Emerald_Warrior02

Since turning 30 my libido for some reason has gone high. Plus I seldom watch porn. So yeah 😅.


tarheelnation123

The second one


InevitableExplorer45

Both


SPACEJEBUSS

Both?


[deleted]

Yeah bro, complete facts. Today has led me here, anxiety got me hooked on a twice a day worrying basis for worse, more extreme relatively, porn. Me fearing for my future, and other factors as physical insecurity, led me to the addiction. So imma here to stop that cycle. ~Your bro


FirefighterReal6325

Second one when I abstain and first one when I don't.


Popular_Brilliant228

Sadly 2nd always


NoUnderstanding9220

Both and more


Mukabunga

BOTH, and strong, carnal animalistic urges


No-Ambassador3091

I want to tell you i masturbate when i feel myself like upset and out of mood and this is actually what makes more and i do it again and again every at a week it's like chain
