RE: 100 Days Challenge | Day 20
I woudn't say I have a porn addiction, it's just a bad habbit I see similar to junk food (cheat reward system stimulation). The science is quite clear when it comes down to porn, so I like to get to a point where I just don't ever feel the need to watch it anymore similar to the food. The claims they make on NoFap indeed are ridicoulous, but I'm just trying it out for a while just to see myself if it makes any difference. I'll make sure to report on it :p
Porn and video games are quite good at mimicking the real thing. Porn as a surrogate for sex, and the video games as a surrogate for the real-life action and adventure.
I've never had a problem with porn, I'll watch it but I don't have a need to do it. Months can pass without it even crossing my mind to watch some. On the other hand, the video games... Spending 48hr with no sleep killing monsters or building empires was not that an unusual thing for me to do.
I quit it once I've realized that instead of building the real world around me the way I want it to be, I'm indulging in the fantasy of me doing so.
Porn will dull your need for sex, the games will dull your ambitions. At least they did it for me.
