Two-dimensional for the real deal.Eliminating artificial or synthetic means don’t engage in “cam to cam” or chat rooms.Surfing Facebook, YouTube, or dating sites for pictures and sexual stimuli is like an alcoholic switching to lite beer.Fantasizing about porn is nearly the same as watching it, as you are activating your brain’s addiction-related pathways.Reading “erotic” stories counts as porn fantasy“What about fantasizing about real women?” It’s hard to say. If you are simply replaying porn scenarios, then absolutely not. Read below about fantasy.For some, cutting out real-life fantasy sped up the process and made it easier. However, there may come a time, during your reboot, where fantasizing about real-life partners is beneficial, and important for rewiring the brain to the “real world”. This usually applies to younger guys with little sexual experience. (See: What about fantasizing during a reboot?)This guy finally figured out that ‘peeking’ at porn was what slowed down his recovery: Age 24 – ED cured, even when I thought it would never happen (20 months)What is “allowed,” and encouraged, is contact with a real-life partner. Smooching, touching, fooling around, maybe even gentle intercourse. Many guys suggest avoiding orgasm with a partner at first, but it really depends on your goals, if you have porn-related sexual dysfunctions, and what stage you are in the process. Erections are great, but should not be forced through vigorous stimulation. If they happen, they happen.You have spent years allowing your brain to view anything it wants, and to revel in any sexual fantasy it can conjure up. There’s nothing morally wrong with fantasy. But now, you are attempting to unravel years of brain training induced by unbridled porn use. There’s also nothing wrong with building mental muscle, and choosing where to direct your mind.Wherever water flows it creates ruts. Where is your mental

Hadn’t seen. You see, dating sites are a lot like porn sites. You can filter search some girls from your town, single, between 23 and 30yo …there are a lot of them. And there are a lot of thumbnails with their photos, and when you click the thumbnail there are galleries of their photos and some of the pics are pretty hot (although not naked, but after 6 weeks of not PMO they are sufficient).And what does a lizard brain think about a lot of hot female pictures? That’s right!…potential mates…release dopamine! Very soon I was visiting the dating sites several times a day to look “what’s new”, which led to relapse on day 40 🙁After that, I was struggling for one month to get myself back on track with rebooting. There were relapses every few days, at least two of them with porn. I realised I had to stop visiting those dating sites immediately. It was hard, because I was already chatting with some girls, and had a prospect of at least three dates. Nevertheless, I blocked all the sites.Now I’m back on track and this is my day 16 of no PMO. First week I experienced some cravings, but I managed.Second week there were another bunch of symptoms that I hadn’t experienced before: severe anxiety (fear of losing my mind), depression, feelings of worthlessness, whole week-long flu (which may or may not be related to my reboot).Yesterday evening, almost all of this symptoms subsided, although I still feel weak and kind of sluggish. Because of the flu, I cannot exercise and I’m too lazy to meditate. But yesterday I managed to push myself into 10 min of meditation yesterday. It seems it helped. Nevertheless, I’m really happy that my depression is over.Now, I experience almost no cravings, but. What Is a Porn Reboot?

For change “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – SocratesFor many, leaving a porn addiction behind involves changing several aspects of their lives. Willpower and “white knuckling” are rarely sufficient to recover from this addiction. While we don’t have a “recovery program” at YBOP, the tools for change in this section contains suggestions and tools employed by those who successfully rebooted. A collection of the best “rebooting advice” posts are located here – Rebooting Advice & ObservationsThe links at the bottom of the page contain many sub-links. Also see the support tab for sites and therapists that do have recovery programs. And:Solo ToolsTools to Connect With Others1) Gain a clear understanding of how porn has affected your brain and why you need to rewire your brain and return your reward circuitry to normal sensitivity.With a clear understanding of how you became addicted, what occurred in your brain, and how healing progresses, you are better prepared to steer your own course to recovery.If you haven’t already, please watch Your Brain on Porn: Porn Addiction, and Adolescent Brain Meets Highspeed Internet Porn.If you have porn-induced ED, watch Porn-induced Erectile Dysfunction, and explore this FAQ – Is my erectile dysfunction (ED) related to my porn use?To understand clearly how today’s Internet porn differs from sex or porn of the past, read the following articles in sequence: Porn, Novelty, and the Coolidge effect, Porn Then and Now: Welcome to Brain Training and Why Shouldn’t Johnny Watch Porn If He Likes? 2) Understand rebooting and what it entails.Tools for change start with the Rebooting Basics article. The best way to understand rebooting is to read the stories of others who have recovered from porn addiction and porn-induced ED. You will find numerous rebooting accounts here, including the majority of ED stories. Our best resource for what to do and not do: Rebooting Advice & Observations contains the cream of the crop advice posts by those who have been there and successfully recovered.Rebooting is our term for taking a time out to recover from porn addiction and associated symptoms, including erectile dysfunction and porn-induced sexual fetishes. If you are addicted to porn, your brain has undergone the same fundamental physiological and structural changes that all drug and behavioral addictions share: desensitization, sensitization, hypofrontality, and altered stress system. Porn addiction may affect the innate sexual centers and circuits of the brain, as evidenced by porn-induced ED, DE, loss of libido, and a flatline during withdrawal.Rest the brainThe quickest way to reboot is to give your brain a rest from artificial sexual stimulation—porn, porn fantasy and masturbation. Some guys eliminate or drastically reduce orgasms during their reboot period. There are no hard rules as everyone is in a different situation. On the other hand, sensual contact with a real person can be beneficial, as long as you don’t fantasize about porn.With your brain in balance you will find it much easier to avoid

The Coolidge Effect Porn: Porn Reboot

What pathways and stimuli must I avoid during my reboot and how will I know if I relapse? Simple but important questions, with sometimes complex answers. Lots of different pathways are available.Recovering porn addict:Get this: When I see a poster on the bus station of a girl in a bikini, my boner doesn’t react at all. If I deliberately search for it online and see it on my computer screen, I get one.That tells me that it isn’t really the image per se that’s arousing for me, but that my addiction is deeply linked with my computer (which is my choice).I don’t have a problem with advertisement, as long as it is offline. Weird, right? (LINK)See this video – Rebooting: What Counts as a Relapse? – by Noah Church.My advice is to avoid actively seeking all artificial sexual stimuli during your reboot. If it’s not a real person, just say no.As odd as this may sound, there’s no such thing as porn. The brain knows exactly what alcohol or heroin is, but the reward circuitry has no way of recognizing porn. Instead, higher portions of the brain relay nerve impulses associated with sights, sounds, smells, and memories to the reward circuit. The strength of these very complex signals determines the excitement levels measured by your reward circuit. What really matters are spikes of reward circuit dopamine (and other neurochemicals), not what’s on the screen.The key questions: Is your behavior reactivating sensitized addiction pathways, and are you overstimulating your already numbed dopamine system? (Read “Porn, Then & Now: Welcome to Brain Training” and Why Do I Find Porn More Exciting Than A Partner? to better understand that it’s more about brain-training than the content.)We receive daily questions about what’s “approved”, or what’s a “relapse”, or whether X, Y, or Z, will

Slow someone’s reboot. Such questions cannot be answered. A better question is, “What type of brain-training leads to addictive changes in my brain, and am I repeating it?”In this regard, accidental exposure to something arousing is not a relapse. In fact, I seriously doubt any incidental images of anything, including hardcore porn, could set one back (unless one acts on it by fantasizing about it or seeking more). Sensitization occurs when an addict purposely pursues his addiction. Animal experiments show that actively choosing to take a drug wires up the brain differently from having it injected with no conditioned stimulus. Pursuing or working for the addictive drug causes sensitization – which is THE core addiction brain change – and also the one that is at the core of porn-induced sexual dysfunctions in those who aren’t fully addicted. The animal associates taking the drug with its own deliberate action, and the brain wires accordingly.Actively searching Facebook is activating sensitized addiction pathways (seeking for hot images online) and reinforcing your addiction. Bumping into hard-core images, then immediately closing the page is actually strengthening the willpower parts of your brain. If an alcoholic could easily stop after 1/2 glass of wine…he would have no problems…right? (See Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (extinction) for more).Take-away: Avoid linking deliberate seeking with arousal. An accidental glimpse isn’t chosen. However, dwelling on the image you glimpse, fantasizing about it later, or seeking other images because of it can be counterproductive.The types of questions that constantly pop up involve, “Is it OK to….Surf Facebook?Watch R movies?Surf pics of girls in swimsuits?Check out real girls?Fantasize about sex with real girls?OR, “Did I relapse if…….I saw a pop-up of porn?Surfed YouTube for hot videos?I saw a picture of naked women?Read an erotic story?Visited a porn site for 2 minutes?Played with myself

The Porn Reboot Implementation Program

The lure of mind-altering habits and substances. Please note that for those with porn-induced ED, Internet porn is the addiction and the cause of ED, not masturbation or orgasm. However, temporarily eliminating masturbation and orgasm may be the way to go as it initiates a withdrawal, un-wires porn from masturbation, reduces cravings, and most important – works.Rebooting seems to involve the reversal of two relatively distinct brain changes: desensitization and sexual conditioning (sensitization). As you reboot your brain will return to its prior sensitivity which allows you to feel arousal and satisfaction more normally.Addiction leads to the strengthening of sensitized “go for it” neural pathways, and weakening of rational “let’s think about this” neural pathways. There’s a tug of war between the craving pathways (sensitization) and your executive control, which resides in your frontal cortex. Weakened frontal cortex pathways (hypofrontality) lose the tug of war to cravings, resulting in your being unable to control use. It takes time for your brain to return to normal. See – Unwiring and Rewiring.3) Converting your computer to an allyDo you think it’s a good idea for a recovering alcoholic to spend his/her free time hanging out in bars? Since you are hanging out on the Net, you may want to employ more than sheer willpower. It can be easier to reboot if you block porn from your computer (or at least images) for a while. When porn is available at a click, its looming presence can produce intense inner conflict, and stress makes relapse more likely.Start with Taming Your Computer and Phone, an overview of several methods employed by successful rebooters.Web Filters – Instructions for ways to filter out porn and erotic images. Almost everyone who recovers successfully uses this tool (eventually), so save yourself some time and use it immediately.Use Your Computer Effectively and other tips – Men share their tips for managing computer use.Change Your Email Address – Prevent emails that could trigger porn use.Get doctor-recommended apps for your computer to speed brain reprogramming. (Links to apps are embedded in article)4) Replace porn use with naturally rewarding activities.As you select the tools for change you feel drawn to work with, keep in mind that humans are tribal, pair-bonding primates. Our brains didn’t evolve to regulate mood very well when we’re not interacting with others. That is, it’s normal to feel anxious when you are isolated. I suggest reading this post by host of YourBrainRebalanced.com – My Thoughts On Rebooting.Unfortunately, heavy porn users often find they don’t feel like socializing. They may even have developed intense anxiety at the very thought of socializing. Nevertheless, as soon as they can, they benefit from finding ways to connect with others even if they have to push themselves. If you’re shy, give extra attention to the tips under Tools to Connect With Others. Once off of porn, their brains soon rediscover some of the prime natural rewards that they evolved to thrive on: soothing close, trusted companionship and regular, affectionate touch.

I have some sexual fantasy several times a day, which I’m trying to evade as soon as it comes. About socializing and meeting women: I’m looking forward to a second level of yoga class I was visiting earlier. It should be starting soon. There are a lot of pretty and interesting women. Socializing in real life is far better and more beneficial than on the net. It’s one of my goals now.Another guy:I was exchanging some text massages with my friend regarding explicit sex positions and how she would like sex with me. After such conversations I felt relaxed. But the immediate next day I would feel worse in terms of depression and fatigue (neurochemical hangover). It took me a long time to understand me that 100 fantasies = 1orgasm/1porn clip viewing. Fantasies ultimately give you the same dopamine rush, but in small dosages. So if you want a quick reboot, avoid all stimuli, even if they are with a real women!!!30 Day Story: Lots of improvements, want more!Prior to that was a streak of about 20 days and one of about 10 days. Nothing else significant- resolves of less than a few days with long relapses.Perhaps related (and perhaps not) is that I gave up/deleted/blocked porn about 7 months ago. I was still using erotic fiction/images/imagination up until this 30 day steak because I thought they weren’t as harmful. But I’ve come to the conclusion that erotic fiction had an even worse effect on my well being than porn did, based entirely on the time it took to “recover” from ED.A husband with ED issues during sex:If it is not directly time for sex, do not do ANYTHING that:feels good on erogenous zonesgives you that yummy feeling in your tummy that you can only get when being erotically stimulatedexcites.
