I've decided to cut on my masturbation and porn habits. I'm addicted to both porn and masturbation. literally addicted and have been doing it every single day at least 1 or 2 times for the last 2 years. its time to cut it. So im doing a "rebooting" of my brain which is basically quitting it cold turkey
I'm literally going throw withdrawal symptoms. All day was all right but now its night and Im on my bed and I cant shake off this urge to touch myself, help me get through this anons, it feels awful
>I'm literally going throw withdrawal symptoms. What the fuck are you talking about, acting like its heroin or someshit
Ian Moore
quit video games
Michael Perry
bitch read a bit about addictions, it's literally the same shit. withdrawal doesn't happen because your body is missing something exclusive to cocaine
Joseph Rogers
>at least 1 or 2 times for the last 2 years. mad man
Lucas Rogers
per day*
Lucas Barnes
i know what you mean, i've just broken the habit. down to just doing it every 2-3 days. and stop being a drama queen you faggot, trying to get on the nofap train is absolutely not like drug withdrawal. you just have weak as shit willpower and an addictive personality.
Kevin Gutierrez
get off Sup Forums. Read a book you weak willed faggot
Hunter Adams
sounds like you actually need to kill yourself

>For the past week i have been experiencing pressure in my chest, like a shortness of breath >-severe panic attack (Never had these until i stopped masturbating) >- horrible anxiety about NOTHING. I have nothing stressful going on in my life >- my vision has actually gotten a lot better since i've stopped, i no longer need glasses and the pressure in my head is beginning to fade away slowly. >- thinning hair and horrible dandruff >- insomnia, waking up in a panic KEK you weak willed faggots

Are you implying that withdrawal from addictive drugs and masturbation withdrawal are even in the same realm?
Aiden Brooks
i imagine if you havent left your moms house except for more mtn dew then not jerking off for 2 days is probably life shattering
John Carter
actually a lot of people downplay these things but they're quite serious. I don't know how it compares to drug withdrawal but my sister worked at a psych ward and they actually have people going to counseling groups to stop masturbating/watching porn. she told me a guy was like 10k in debt because he had subscribed to a bunch of porn sites and forgot about paying them
Julian Williams
holy shit how much of a pussy can a single person be?
Kevin Jackson
That's an addiction to being a NEET wizard
Jose Green
>10k in debt I could see how that could give you anxiety and shit, but I mean fuck. There was times I would jack off 5 times a day for months on end, and I would just stop due to going on vacation, etc. I never had that big of problems. OP is acting like (stopping) jerking off twice a day is like getting DTs from alcohol or something >cold turkey
Thomas Wright
There are several studies showing that people with ACTUAL addiction to masturbation show similar symptoms as drug addicts when withdrawing such as panic and anxiety attacks and even severe perspiration.
Also, about 90% of these addicts have ED, PE and other physical symptoms, showing that the addiction does in fact have physical consequences
Joshua Reyes
Every brain is different m8, maybe you handle it better. maybe you didn't last as long as op did
Landon Carter
> doc I haven't had a heroin fix in two days,I think I'm dying
vs
> man I could really go for a wank
Ryder Long
if your mechanism for relieving stress is masturbating and you stop doing it your brain is going to go through the same shit
John Taylor
Intredast, will research
Aiden Morales
>because jerking off twice a day is how someone deals with their stress
This is why OP is being a bitch, because a website is telling him it's okay to be one. He's putting way too much thought into it, especially if he's reading up on "rebooting"
Blake Wilson
I'm no expert but it could be a psychological addiction rather than a physical addiction as with chemicals
Dylan Bennett
This isn't a Christian site is it?
Nathan Diaz
is it ironic or sad that i jacked off after reading your post?
Henry Ramirez
This website is golden, good sources too
Josiah Lee
No it's actually pretty good
Evan Young

In this case this is the same shit. Masturbating releases a fuckload of dopamine your brain will crave for.
So start masturbating and your brain will create a neural pathway basically relating a dopamine rush with masturbation.
If you do it so often for so many times, you're strengthening the fuck out of that pathway and each time the dopamine rush will be less perceived (because you grew resistant of it) and you'll start looking for more extreme methods to get a better high
Logan Foster
well then op needs to diversify where he gets the dopamine rush from
Ethan Flores
In that case I suggest sucking dick for crack
James Powell
Get a real hobby. Now that I am more active sometimes I go 3 or 4 days without fapping and I don't even realize it. Used to be 3 times a day mostly out of boredom. I would just play videos games, pause, fap, resume game. All fucking day...
Robert Ramirez
I still don't buy it. There is a difference between being a little bitch with no will power and actually abusing drugs.
David Edwards
yo, its called testosterone, if yall gotta bust a nut yall gotta bust a nut, straight up.
Adrian Kelly
fuck off faggot. They're literally the same thing, it all boils down to brain chemistry
Gavin Morris
And you will never be able to produce enough dopamine overload by masturbating to ever come near the effects of what snorting lines of coke will do.
You can only cum so many times in a day. You can continually do more and more coke.
It's not physically possible to hammer your brain with the same levels of dopamine by masturbating.
Caleb Kelly
>Masturbating releases a fuckload of dopamine No. The buildup releases dopamine in anticipation of orgasm, but the orgasmic contractions themselves release prolactin which counteracts the effects of dopamine.
Alexander Wood
If I stop jerking it when I have sex with my girl I last like two minutes, but if I jerk off I literally can't get off during sex unless we're going at it for like 30-40 minutes. Feels bad man.
