Struggling to quit— need advice on how to channel sexual energy

I’ve been dealing with a problem for basically my entire life. I’ve always masturbated a lot — sometimes multiple times a day, and almost every day. About a year ago I decided I wanted to quit. I set a goal of reaching 100 days of NoFap.

This summer I managed to reach a personal record of 67 days. That might not sound like much to some people, but for me it was unbelievable. In the past I couldn’t even make it a full week.

However, even during those 67 days I couldn’t stay completely clean. Every 5–6 days I felt such intense sexual pressure that I ended up visiting sex workers. It became a cycle I couldn’t break.

The truth is: when I’m on NoFap, I feel a huge spike of energy and restlessness. My mind becomes consumed with sexual thoughts. I spend hours scrolling Tinder looking for a girl to hook up with — obviously with no success — and that only increases my frustration. Eventually I give up and go to a sex worker. Then I feel guilty about wasting money, and I end up going back to masturbation again.

It feels like an endless loop: Horny → Tinder → No matches → Sex workers → Guilt → Masturbation → Trying NoFap again.

I want to learn how to transform this sexual energy into something else, to use it in a healthier way. But honestly, it’s very difficult for me. How do you guys manage to stay calm and handle the urges? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Any advice would be really appreciated
