If you can just hold on to the fact that porn, in the long term, can never be a satisfactory substitute for actual/substantive mental and physical forms of self-improvement, then you can make it work for you.
I was able to push myself to make these improvements because I never lost sight of the fact that porn is not real, and I have never truly been satisfied with it. It provides short-term gratification that will never amount to a replacement for real, long term self-improvement, and the experience can't match what you can have with a real woman. If you keep that understanding in mind and also focus more on porn that doesn't promote fantasy (ex: watch more amateur porn with real girls instead of Vivid/Brazzers work with plastic blondes doing unrealistically kinky things), you'll be ok. Really.
The question is: how many guys can do this? I'm sure many cannot, and for them nofap makes sense.
Makes sense. I just worry that others do not have to same level of mental discipline that you do.
As you know, the mind is a powerful thing. For the weak minded, fantasy often becomes reality. Easier to live in delusion then face reality.
For many men, I afraid that PORN IS THEIR SEX LIFE.
I will admit, no woman can handle my balls as well as I can!
