Patience and persistence.

So I have finally managed to stop porn for a longer period of time.
After 25 days of abstinence I masturbated the first time though, without porn of course.
I am at about 30 days now and have masturbated a few more times till now.
I am kinda split between letting myself masturbate from time to time, because after all I don't want to completely repress my sexuality I want to be sexually healthy and being abstinent for years and years feels for me like simply ignoring a part of yourself, not integrating an essential part of yourself.
What do you think? What would you recommend?

[Shin]

That's an excuse, if you really want sex you will get girls, or the need for it will die.

[Aeris]

Don't reduce yourself to stop 
break the need.

embody a total control over your body & mind

nothing dictates your craving for something but yourself

What did I walk into? Jk. I say...fap away. I would snap pencils and maybe hurt someone if I didn't.  True story. Unless you are like a fapping 'holic

Hi!

I've been frequently trying to hold off PMO, however I haven't been able to go over 25 days. I've just failed a 16 day streak, fapped 2 days in a row and realized something. While on nofap anger is building up in me and I can't find a way to release it. I also become lazy and not have motivation to do certain things, like exercise for example. However I noticed other benefits such as more confidence and energy, yet the anger is the most frustrating. If I fap, the anger suddenly goes away and I gain motivation to exercise for example.

How can I release this anger while reaping the benefits of nofap? Thanks in advance

Do way more sport, like way more.

Or

Get a girlfriend and fuck her very hard often.

 

Ideally both.

Day 21 - been easier than ever before. Combined with Kriya Yoga, exercise, healthy eating/OMAD, meditation this truly feels like the juice of life getting pumped up into the "spiritual centers". I really see why aiming for a goal like 90 days won't work. And actually I don't want that anymore. I want to quit entirely. 
Much love and persistence to anyone who struggles, you can do it! But as said before, don't forget to ground yourself in exercise, creativity and I also recommend Kriya Yoga very very much. This combination is a killer combo. 

@Shin I have to give a shoutout to you man. I feel like you are one of the main energies in this thread who does his best to motivate everyone else. You certainly motivated me many times already. Stay strong <3

Day 0..i had a good insight this time. Although I haven't watched porn since 2016 I am using my imagination to masturbate which is the same as watching porn... I see "myself" in my imagination pretendig to have sex... 

Guys use internet photos for masturbating not your imagination.

You say in the last sentence to look at nudes to fap instead of using imagination.

[LiakosN]

@Shin yup! To be clear.. Just watch the images and fap without imagination.. Just watch don't fantasize...

Masturbating using imagination is like watching a porn movie..

And watching a porn picture is better ?

That is still you fapping to an imaginary woman ?

[LiakosN]

@Shin Yup its better in my opinion because, although it is still imaginary, it isn't a "movie". 

The whole point of getting rid of pornography is getting rid of that movie.. 

So stop using the "movie" in your mind while fapping

Can you really fap to an porn pic without being tempted to imagine anything ?

Wouldn't it be simpler to just not fap at all ?

May sound impossible and you may think you will always think about it or about sex,
In my experience it is not true at all, I rarely think of sex at all, and I'm still highly sexually attracted to beautiful woman I see during the day.
The difference is that it is not based on lust anymore, so there is nothing imaginary that happens.

And no I'm not a special snowflake, you can all do it.

Good point there.. Maybe not all the time during your "fapping session".. It's preferable than using your pure imagination for fapping.

Yup! Not fapping at all is ideal

I am interacting with the opposite sex daily due to my work and I do not feel lust either, I just enjoy their feminine presence ...
