Thanks for answering my question regarding the porn vs thoughts. You're really lucky that it's "just" the thoughts.


Perhaps "just thoughts" is luckier than "thoughts and porn," but "just thoughts" messin' up one's life is pretty serious as well, and the truth is - that is the issue!

You are right, and I'll take just thoughts over porn any old day of the week, because with porn you build new thoughts. Now I just think about past sexual experiences, or things I want to do to my wife. My memories fade over time, and my imagination is not nearly as powerful as full-motion video.

Why not try it for one day and report back tomorrow. Make a neder for one day. Worst case scenario you masturbate and you give money to a worthy cause.

I've used the Taphsic tool, and it's worked wonders. Only now I'm discovering how psychologically deep it is on so many levels.

Doesn't mean that it doesn't work in the long term.

But hopefully some of the scariness of the neder went away. Now you're in a better position to decide whether to keep it for a week, say.

And I think the GYE handbook has several methods. You don't have to use the neder if you don't like it.
