>>11252736I suppose so, yeah. Went almost 3 months into lockdown without doing jack shit and ended getting in touch with a girl. We met up not long after. If I didn't have the drive, I likely wouldn't have followed through on contacting her.
Felt good man and all that, I told her in advance just for the sake of keeping conversation interesting. She was pretty into it and especially verbal about it whenever we got down to business, it made it almost impossible to last but there was repeat encounters afterwards to make it upto her.
Although the thing is that I felt like I threw away 3 months of progress afterwards. I suppose it's 'cause I was just pursuing sex for the sake of it. So I went back to nofap again. Made it close to 2 months again before a girl approached me and gave me her number. I'm pretty good for chatting people up or whatever, but you know you're doing something right whenever a girl openly approaches you like that.
I'd say figure out your intentions for nofap, OP. Keeping away from porn is just much better. Can't be healthy associating desire with negative thoughts, either. Shouldn't be having feelings of shame for having genuine attraction to things. Probably better to approach nofap / noporn as a baseline for building good habits.
>>11252767This, basically. Although you can certainly include sex into 'quality of life', just try to keep your focus and realize it's better to snag a quality woman, rather than just a hook-up for the sake of it.
