It's 25/01/21, I'm aiming initially for three months without watching porn, jerking off or ejaculating, but time and effort will tell if I get further from there.

I want to purify my soul, I want to meditate and exercise, breath clean air and heal myself. I've been poisoned for a long time now.

Fuck you porn industry, fuck you demons on earth.

OP here, day number 13: some pal wants me to bang her wife while he's watching. This is beyond surreal, stuff like this never ever happened to me, I don't know if it's mere coincidence or this sexual desire I've been keeping and also the meditation I've been doing had some sort of manifestation as a result or some shit that these kind of things are happening to me.

Feelin' blessed, Saturday might lose some cum but not because of my own hands so it's still counting

I believe these types of opportunities are negative. I call them "the devil at the door". Banging some dudes wife while he watches is basically the same crazy shit as watching porn.

The goal is healthy relationship, healthy life goals, healthy view of sexuality. Participating in dirty shit like that is just pulling you back.

How does one keep from getting aroused by mundane things like tile patterns, doorknobs and the state of Ohio? If you find those things titillating, they will be very hard to avoid, no matter how committed you are.

For example, I get turned on by the thought of women fainting. I used to collect images and videos of it happening, even though I never had a normal porn collection.

Now days I have my habit mostly under control, but I still get the urge to fap whenever I find a reference to a woman fainting. This doesn't happen often, but when it does I'm turned on right away, especially if it was unexpected.

How do I deal with this fetish? Is there a way to "un-kink" myself? Do I just have to live with it as best I can?

Feels like I'm in pure hell. I'm suffering in fake pleasure. I've sank so low.

My self esteem was already low and because of constant fails, it went even lower.

And I fetishized it all. It all starts with some femdom and now I'm looking out for newest futa on male crap.

I'm disgusted with myself. Everything is shit and loathsome. I hate myself even writing this because it's all just useless blackpilling whining into the void.

I used to write a diary but the amount of failed promises there made it too embarassing and pointless to continue. Oh, the countless "This is it", "Now, I'll be clean for good", etc.

I even became somewhat religious because of this all but I can't help but think that it's over for me, I'm going to hell for sure because of how much I sinned and continue to sin daily. I ask God to give me strength to defeat this addiction but I don't know. Nothing's working out lately.

Starting to seriously consider ending it all anons.

I don't know how to get myself out of this hole, never felt so low in my life.

>>17595 I used to be pretty heavily addicted to degenerate femdom fetish filth as well. Start by seriously realizing what is right and meant to be. "Alt-Right" AKA (peace and harmony) views and morals is my concrete foundation that has given me the insight and power to free me from this cucked degeneracy that has been spawned to destroy men. And believe me, many improvements take place and your brain rewires back to normalcy, you will view women the way nature intended. The fake illusion of the so called femdom fetish that your brain has been hijacked by via unnatural hyperstimulation and modern degeneracy will disappear over time, and will start loving to fuck tight PUSSY! It gets SO much better, DO NOT give up, our European ancestors fought hard for what's right. You can do it too.

Hey anon. Long post coming through, and forgive me for any inconsistencies or bad structure in-general, my capacity for meaningful conversation has been decreasing greatly in the past few months, along with my intellectual ability.

Complete abstinence from porn and masturbation is the only way for both your suffering wrong doings and lack of masculinity.

I recommend checking out John Butler (not the musician) on YouTube, specifically his video "Naturally" I watched in a very low state. It was a depressing night, I don't remember exactly what it was, these past few months I have had downs, that night I had suicidal thoughts. I watched that video, in the morning I had a major anticipation for something in my life, a sort of interview, I needed to be very calm. I meditated throughout the whole night due to insomnia, probably slept about 1 hour, I have never experienced something as bad before. But in my mediation I watched as hours passed. I wonder if I went into REM sleep. I was sitting down so I couldn't have fallen asleep, but the time passed as if I was sleeping, and although that night I couldn't achieve true peace and calm of mediation and prayer, it was good looking back at it, with no choice I got up at 5, barely sleeping but feeling fairly rested. Now this was about after a week of not seeing sunlight, I don't remember how exactly, 1 year back I sunbathed regularly and here I was not getting any sun for several days. And so, in the morning I decided to get some morning UV-A to help my fucked up Circadian Rhythm and for proper Dopaminergic Cycling. The interview was at 12 I think. Anon, I have never seen something so beautiful. It was the type of weather after a few days of rain and it being a clear sky. The air was clear, there was some wind, the sun powerful where I live but it was cold. Anon, I felt at peace. I knew at that moment depression distorts one's worldview. The true world is not what your mind encapsulates. The next day I needed to walk for school for the first time after a long time do not going due to Corona and mental fuckage, the whether was as beautiful. I almost cry thinking about that sky, the general feel. I live in a fairly rural area. I took of my shirt and walked around, took off my shoes and put my fePost too long.

I've tried and failed many times in the past, but this time something is different. I'm currently about 3 weeks in and I didn't even plan on doing nofap, I only decided to stick to it about 7 days in once I realized what I can do.

Before I had a problem that I believe plagues 99.9% of nofapers and 100% of the failed nofapers. It is the build up of the sexual energy in the lower chakras which can only result in inevitable explosion, unless you learn how to pull it through the spine to the upper chakras. Now I'm using the term "chakras" here because it's the most popular term for energetic centers of human body, I'm not well versed in teachings that the term comes from. By opening the 2 lowermost chakras, you can instantly transmutate the sexual urge into power which can be used in any of the upper chakras depending on how far you pull it. I used to get very strong sexual urges several times a day and by focusing awareness to the pathway between root and sacral and then pulling it further up the spine to solar I learned that I can make the sexual urge die within 10 seconds after which I feel energized which can on a downside make it hard to sleep unless you learn how to direct it through the crown. With time, this process started happening by itself.

The problem is that attaining such ability is not easy and I really can't offer a concrete guide, only some guidelines. Meditate. A lot. Reach the state of perfect stillness. This is where the magic happens. Learn to control your awareness. Don't force it, the key is in the opposite - learn to let go. Awareness is like a magnet for energy and by focusing it on root you hook the energy which you can then drive wherever you want. But again and I can't stress this enough - don't force it. Working with awareness is opposite from working with muscles. You don't make it work, you let it work. I'd compare it to playing with a shy cat.

Also check out this clip: I know you'll find it cringe but it actually contains very useful advice, especially the part about water chakra which is a major concern for all of you.

Something doesn't need to be pleasurable to save one from discontent. It only needs to be distracting enough to make you forget your inner discontent.

The average person is aware of society's downward spiral. Addictions to immediately rewarding activities and entertainment are increasing. The internet CAN be used in an appropriate manner, but it usually IS NOT. It makes people more reclusive, demoralizes people, and ends up making society fall apart even faster.

It isn't just porn. Sex (and the pursuit of it) also make you forget. You don't remember the bleakness of the real world when you pursue something with the assumption that you'll be happy when you obtain it. However, the despair is only greater when you fail to do so.

Manage to have sex with someone and you'll get bored after a handful of times. This is proven by a scientific survey, and one of the arguments against porn.

Have sex with a different person each time, you'll get into weird stuff. This is proven by how porn causes desensitization, however, this rarely happens from actual sex in reality.

A lot of people do nofap in order to get a real partner. This is progress, but its basis is mistaken. The concept portrays itself as an end in itself, rather than a step of the process.

Anything that distracts you from the dark and cold way the world is, from your bad memories and all of the bad experiences you've had with people, is a coping mechanism and it will spawn weakness.

Rejections will only drip more toxic waste into that dark pit. Whereas pleasure will only make it that much more toxic. Either way, you lose.

That's why surrendering and sinking into it is the only rational thing you can do. Your inner demons will never go away and the world will never cease to be a bad place. However, you can make yourself at home here. Accept the horrors of reality and you'll be free.

if you've never failed before, how will you understand how to stay away from it for 21 days?

pretty sure you meant that you will aim to find out what you did wrong, and refuse to quit each time you fail

in that case it will be easy

What's with the extremely long flatlines? I have been doing this for a few months and after the initial extreme urge, I started to feel nothing. It's not even a challenge anymore. I had previous streaks, although with a bit more discipline, but then after a while I always started to be mega horny after a while.

I’ve experienced better sleep and vivid dreaming since getting with nofap. Detail and lucidity are increasing with each sucessive night. It’s been a big motivator; I don’t want PMO to ruin my dream journal any more.

What’s your experience with this?

Post dreams and the night they ocurred on.

(nothing explicit please, obviously)

Morning of day 4 - I was carying a thin, sickly old man in my arms through a hotel. Then I realized he was Alan Watts and his breath smelled like alcohol.

Morning of day 5 - I was retrieving a white electric guitar from the bottom of my swimming pool. I got into a golden elevator and the walls started closing in, but I climbed up the walls. I remember making the Knuckles-climbing sound from Sonic Adventure 2.

I've used abstainance from masturbation in the past when I was very interested in lucid dreaming and had great results. Some of the most meaning moments of my life really. I had to mix in galantamine though to move the dreams to the "next level". The vividness I experienced in the dream was more real than real life, if that makes sense.

I've dreamt of my death. I fell into an endless ocean, in the center of which was a pit. The ocean was falling into this darkness. I fell from the sky, I saw tall Roman pillars in concentric circles that were sticking out of the ocean first. They were pure white contrasted against the roaring ocean beneath. As my descent came closer to the surface I saw the center. The ocean eating black hole. I fell into the hole. I was in a void, I thought I had died, truly believed it. I thought about my family first, and then I realized there was nothing I could do. Then I started to let go, of life. I felt a peace I never knew I could have as I stopped thinking. I was free from all the troubles of my life, and I was warm inside, happy maybe.

Then I woke up. I've got another dream too if anyone wants to hear it.

In a few days I'll hit the 6 month mark of nofap - the momentum this has generated makes it a lot easier to continue forward, and for the most part I think I am in the free and clear with very little risk of falling back my old ways at this point. I want to share my thoughts about this streak and how I managed to achieve it, after constantly trying and failing to break free over a period of 9 years. Whether this applies to you or anyone else, I truly could not say. It's fairly obvious to most, except for a few dim souls here and there, that while nofapping, you're not supposed to look at porn, but it goes beyond that. You truly need to avoid anything that could trigger an urgewave in you. The problem with urgewaves is that they reconfigure one's basic values in the moment by invoking apathy in the face of a greater desire, and it's entirely outside of one's control. Sometimes these moments can be pushed through with sheer willpower, but willpower is finite. The key, I have found, is to avoid the urgewaves altogether, as much as possible, by avoiding anything and everything that could trigger them. This means:

1. Do not look at porn (obviously).

2. Do not look at ANY media containing suggestive content like "softcore" stuff, suggestive-but-SFW type images, etc.

3. Do not look at ANY image that even invokes a slight tingle in your mind - even if there is nothing particularly sexual in nature about the image, it could be a fully clothed woman in a non-suggestive pose. If it invokes even so much as the slightest hint of desire, leave.

4. If you are on a website, or watching TV, or playing a game, where there is anything being posted or displayed that could trigger an urgewave, even if it's a SFW site or piece of media - turn it off, close the tab, go do something else.

5. If you see a pretty girl in real life - avert thine eyes. Do not check her out. Do not feed the beast.

6. In the end, the final boss - your brain - will do whatever it takes to go back, and will invent its own fantasies and mental pornography. I made the mistake of allowing myself to indulge in these mental fantasies in the past by rationalizing to myself that it was alright because it wasn't "real porn". This resulted in the destruction of some very promising strPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Now I'd like to take a moment to address the bad advice and opinions from cumbrains and porn addicts that I often see elsewhere on the internet, that only make nofap more difficult to understand, and confounded my own efforts especially early on.

1. "Bro, it's PORN that's the problem, not MASTURBATION. MASTURBATION is totally okay!"

Shut the FUCK up you drooling cocksucker, this is hands down the most dangerous, shittiest, and most useless piece of advice I've seen. Porn is merely a potent kind of fuel - masturbation is the vehicle that carries you to Dopamine City. Porn helps to facilitate masturbation, which is the entire point. Masturbation, sex, porn, and everything else - it's all forms of sexual stimulation to which we can become addicted, and are in fact collectively addicted. Even if you didn't watch porn and masturbate it is hypothetically possible for one to become a sex addict, were it possible for you to have an endless access to willing women every single day. If you want to overcome the actual problem that is harming your life, you need to stop masturbating, period.

2. "Bro, it's okay to masturbate in moderation."

Bit of a riff on #1, but a slightly different angle. Are you going to offer that same advice to a long-time, hardcore alcoholic? "Bro it's just one drink". It's never just one drink, and it's never just one fap. This is the whole reason for my advice above about avoiding all suggestive imagery - the moment you put your foot on the slide, doors start opening and before you know it you're slipping back down. If you are able to masturbate without porn in whatever a "moderate" frequency is, and continue with your happy and productive life, more power to you. But if not, don't delude yourself. Masturbation is not in itself inherently good or bad, but it does have an addictive dark side. If we didn't live in such a fucked up toxic clown world hell, then "masturbating in moderation" probably wouldn't be that big of a deal. What is moderation, by the way? When I fapped, I wasn't cranking it multiple times a day. My normal frequency was 2-3 times a week. That frequency seems like it shouldn't be a big deal, but I can say with absolute certainty that it was incredibly bad for mPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

4. "Bro, I need to fap to get Post-Nut Clarity™. That's when I make all my major decisions and have my deepest thoughts!"

If any of you ever browse half-chan /pol/ and have seen a nofap thread, you might have seen the german coomer who visits nearly every nofap thread to lecture us about Post-Nut Clarity - as if guys like us haven't been cooming for years and have no idea what he's talking about. The addict has too much brain fog to realize that we are all fully aware of the so-called "clarity" that visits you after orgasm, and we don't care. The fact is, Post-Nut Clarity is not some nirvana-like heightened state of mind that elevates you above what you've deluded yourself into thinking is a normal state of mind - what it really is is only a momentary reprieve from the compulsive desires to which you are a slave. In a sense, it's a momentary freedom from desire, when you are no longer dominated by your slavish "need" to fap. It's also a testament to just how subject you really are to some of the internal workings of your unconscious mind. If you fap, try to observe in the moment of your orgasm how your desire drastically shifts from 100% to 0% in a few seconds after finishing, and how it alters your behavior. That alone should humble an honest man.

5. "Hi, I'm a stupid idiot. I'm doing nofap but I edge for hours to porn. It's okay though because I don't cum."

I see these posts from time to time. Maybe they're trolling me, I'm not sure. It's hard for me to think sometimes that someone can be so addicted to tickling their pickle that they will delude themselves into thinking that edging, which is quite possibly the worst thing you can do to yourself, is somehow keeping in line with nofap. If this really is you, then try to realize that the fact that you have to compulsively touch yourself so much is a flaming red flag that is violently spinning at 50,000 RPM. Stop touching yourself. In my view these guys are really no different in principle than the "masturbation in moderation" and "it's porn not masturbation" guys. They are all operating on different flavors of the same delusion for the purpose of avoiding confronting our individual and collective sexual dysfunction.

I hope that something I'vPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
