Being horny vs. craving porn

Currently 2 weeks into nofap and had some decent urges last night. They started to get very intense and I told myself if it gets bad enough I will just masturbate without porn. So what did I do? I tried to get an erection while thinking of fantasies that weren’t porn and I couldn’t do it. After a few minutes of trying, my urges vanished completely.

I realize now that I was not horny at all in that moment. My mind was really just craving porn. It wanted a quick rush of dopamine. Also, the fact that I can’t get an erection without porn even though it’s been two weeks is a clear sign that I must continue on this journey to be pornfree. Stay strong guys!

Wow cool stuff, I agree with what your intentions are in the moment... I will do the same. It’s scary how your sexuality is overwritten by p....

I came to that conclusion too quite a while ago.

Yeah it’s something that I heard before on this sub while I was doing mostly nofap. With the nofap mentality, I never found myself able to distinguish between the too. It part of the reason why I find pornfree more viable in the long run.

I actually have a masturbation schedule. 2 - 3 times a week. My therapist put me on it.
