I don't really know how to start this so I'll just get to the point: I masturbate way too much. On a normal day it's about three times. On my days off (I live alone) it can be five or more, but almost never less than twice a day. I think it's been at least a few years since I've gone more than 24 hours and I was probably in grade school the last time I went a week. I've tried a few times to go even a day but I can't seem to do it. I'd like to try nofap but part of the problem is that it's hard for me to realize it my be unhealthy and secretly I know I'm not going to be able to do it. Has anybody else been in this situation before? I'm afraid it could be detrimental to my life in ways I might not even realize.

Do you fap because you want to, or because it's a habit? If it's the first then there's no problem, and the second's only a problem if it's stopping you from doing other things you want to do.

Probably habit. Waking up and going to bed are big triggers for me. It might be getting in the way of things. It's hard for me to accomplish pretty much anything on my days off but that could have to do with the weather (I believe I have seasonal depression)

quit porn but don't quit fapping, it should be way easier to quit just that and it should at least make you want to fap less frequently.

Define "porn." This my be weird but I only do like 20% of my fapping to what most would consider porn i.e. Pornhub.

any external stimuli at all that isn't a consenting physical person.

So, basically nofap.
>>17948100
except you can still fap, so no, not nofap. When I say external stimuli i mean pointedly reading/watching/looking/listening to media with the intent to get yourself off to it. You can fap without any of that.

I haven't done that since I was like 9. How is that even possible?
