Reconciliation is equal to porn withdrawl symptoms

An interesting pattern i have been observing in both forums here and nofap
Where people describe the reconciliation symptoms it match almost exactly to what you see on porn rehab forums.

And it totally make sense, in both ways the mind deals with change- in porn the change related to huge decrease of dopamin induced by virtual sexual stimuli.

and in subs its the identity beliefs shift of the subs goal from your current beliefs.

the brain try its best to maintain homeostasis and avoid change and it does it very intelligenty in both ways.

It strikes me that some of the symptoms i faulted to subs were actually related to nofap.

Crazy, right?

Not really.

It makes sense for an adaptive system to evolve this way in that one process can cover more than one function.
