Is it possible to quit your porn addiction without actually becoming asexual?

I'm currently in my second week of NoFap. So far I'm already I'm feeling gold. my mind feels a lot clearer and suddenly I'm finding lots of excitement on the simple things life has to offer; such as listening to my music, playing a new video game I recently bought and watching that new Joker movie. funny how over a weak ago I felt like not even a whole day at a theme park would excite me.

though I'll be honest, I'm starting to realize that NoFap pretty much wants to cure your problem by making you become technically asexual. they dont even want you to have sexual thoughts and they encourage you to have sex with love ones only and this is kind of a problem for me as I obviously I never have sex with love ones. I always seek sex workers whenever I feel like draining my balls

till then I recently asked a question on their community and not only were they ignorant to tell me that this is worst than relapsing without actual evidence. but they also scorned me as well. so till then I was wondering, is it possible to overcome porn addiction without becoming asexual?

Of course it's possible. You just need to discipline yourself and not give into triggers. You'll fail a lot until you succeed too. You need a well-defined goal to help you overcome relapses as well. What do you want out of it? Are you happier now than your life was before your journey? And you won't become asexual, but you might feel that way from flatlining (emotional numbness). Read the website they give you that has all the studies and it should help you understand the stages you are going through during the reboot. Good luck.

as a person who's been exposed to porn since the age of 6 and had other traumatic experiences like older naked women teasing me when I was a kid and overhearing adults having sex I think I just want to know what having an actual sex drive really feels like. at the moment I'm really not happy but is a little too soon to decide on that. I think I should double-check their site now that you mentioned emotional numbness

You can't become asexual unless you castrate yourself or something extreme like that, and that's STILL under scientific dispute, believe it or not.

If you have trouble forming conventional relationships with women, the very least you could do for yourself is foster a healthy relationship with your own sexuality. If you genuinely enjoy porn and sex workers, that's a pretty good sign you're already in better company than you would be if you instead tried to take the more socially 'acceptable' route.
