My post was deleted from nofap (og title: Just give up)

The title might seem like I telling to watch porn, but it's actually the opposite.

I was a frequent reader of this sub since 2020 about that time I realized my problem with porn addiction.

at first I went cold turkey, I would go on for a week or two and then relapse, but the relapse was always worse than my starting point. I kept on believing that I have to stop and I did have some success with my longest streak being 108 days. however, I relapse and it was hard I developed fetishes from that mostly trans porn.

fast forward 5 years to the beginning of 2025. I did what I always do have a new year resolution that this year I will quit porn, but this time I brokedown I could handle the cycle of failure anymore.

so, what happened later was a decision that at that point I didn't know would actually cure me. I just gave up I said if I'm going to watch porn I will watch. it's fun and I enjoy it. the first week went by no urge to watch porn the second then the third and for thr first time in a while I go for a months of not watching porn with zero suffering.

I got scared that I had erectile dysfunction. so, I said I will masturbate without porn to check. I was like hmm everything is working that's weird. I don't have urges for porn.

after that, I decided not to dwell on it to much and saw it as a win. then, 2 months went by, then 3, then 4 and nothing. I didn't even feel withdrawals.

anyway tomorrow is my 1 year anniversary without porn or masturbation.

I honestly don't know what happened but somehow everything worked out.
