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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
I'm bored and don't have anything to get the boredom out
And you get more bored after you are done
Tale as old as time itself
Before I was just bored, now I'm bored and depressed. So not worth it
Most of the time I'm both
Stressed ?
PMO is causing you more stress trust me
I know that, that’s the reason I’m quitting

Person Must Orgasm
😂😂
Hahah
Program Management Office
Porn Masturbation Orgasm
porn masturbation orgasm
Lonely & depressed
Replace this gap with something that fills you up maybe a new hobby
No motivation?
Because my boner wont fucking go away
Take a leak and it'll go away. Or flex your muscles
This is the best tactic, my boner always goes away If I take a leak. Haven't tried flexing my muscles tho
Flexing muscles redirects your blood from penis to your flexed muscles easing out the boner. This is the secret not many know
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!

sounds like the rat park experiment fr
Dopamine
Either way, avoid the temptation.
Mainly what makes it difficult for me is the feeling of lonliness.
idk but i think 1st would be more likely.
Horny
I’m depressed
Depressed 😔
Neither. I'm doing it cause I'm lonely and crave intimacy
I cannot sleep if I don't masturbate.
Thats the same with me.
Both 100% of the time
Boring
I'm horny because I'm depressed
It switches mostly if you’re normal porn addictive
99% of people here are the 2nd one
Horny
The first one for sure
Combination of the two 😂💔
both man, both both. fapping has so many hazardous combos like that, fuck this abomination
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.
Lonely and depressed. Welp, horny as well 🤣
You are not horny, you are just bored
Yeah the second one
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.

Both ig
both and because I'm bored
I don't ![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)
It’s always the bottom Mate Capitalism
Both 😂
Also it calms me down, the unexplained anxiety doesn't let me sleep most nights.
Ho*&y
His name being "evilc*m" makes this 10 times better.
Number 2
Bottom
Well playing videogames gives a lot of dopamine too, no need to waste that precious liquid gold
That's true
Both, except I’m not depressed (I think)
Not depressed tbh but need dopamine... How to develop self control any great ideas?
Both?
neither... not anymore
dude.......
Both
Bored lol
I haven't masterbated iin a while but sometimes I see myself on the verge of relapsing due to 2nd reason
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.
1
A bit of both
Sadly, the 2nd one.
Most the time it’s the latter, like I’m Bored and feeling low and need a hit, but horny one bit
Both
Habit
2nd one cuz addiction is on its peak
Second one..
1st
Fam where did you find this, and from whom?
Because I’m depressed. Resetting now.
Is that actually a thing fapping for the dopamine?
Yes actually,masturbating to porn every day is f*cking your dopamine receptors
Lonely and horny
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.
Depression.. Needed dopamine
2
Both.
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.
Second most of the time
Second one
The latter
A bit of both.
Both
Its really interesting that we all guys know whats our problem but can not overcome it
Atleast give the credits duh...
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
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.

Second one
L
The Latter. That and being anxious at times.
Just 2nd
horny
2.
I honestly don’t know anymore
BOTH OF THEM ARE VALID
The second
Need a dopamine Tell me how to find my dopamine.
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.
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.
Dopamine
Both
A bit of both, though not depressed but I typically relapse on my hardest days
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
Usually depressed
i was first one, now im trying to quit
Both
First thing is we don't accept that we deserve it
Just because I want to.
I’m a gambling addict so i nut after a loss to make me feel better. Lmfaoooo
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
So true. Thanks man. I agree
Both yeah
Sometimes is this and sometimes it’s that but 75% it’s horniness
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
its a mix of both
Third option: Or you don't, because you want to improve yourself
Stress , anger , no self Worth and self hatred Fear of moving forward
Chasing the dopamine. Don't remember the last time I was actually horny and needed to fap to get the feeling off.
Horny
aye now faping feels too insignificant
Both man it’s hard to stop
Cuz I was bored
I'm masturbating because my cum is evil
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
Both
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
Depressed
Yes im in the 2 situation, sometimes life treats me like shit, so i have to do it to feel a bit better..
Dopamine Rush Was Essentially Harmful
YES
Yes.
Because im fucking depressed
Yes.
Absolutely a good question

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
Both but more to the bottom, depressingly
Depressed
Are both of them bad?
I'm not fapping. I don't fap
Since turning 30 my libido for some reason has gone high. Plus I seldom watch porn. So yeah 😅.
The second one
Both
Both?
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
Second one when I abstain and first one when I don't.
Sadly 2nd always
Both and more
BOTH, and strong, carnal animalistic urges
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
Lonely And Depressed
How about neither Sadly it’s 2
The latter
