Nice testament, bud. I'm sure you've heard this, but reshaping your neural pathways (imagine the worn-in cracks in your brain) is a process, and relapse is part of that process.

It's not an excuse, but a motivation to approach relapse differently. Every relapse is a learning opportunity. Each time you do it is a time to reflect on your notes.

Start taking them if you haven't.

Don't worry. You kicked this whole thing into motion long ago. As long as you have a net majority of your attention turned toward it, it will pick up momentum, like a satellite in space.

There's a piece of scrap travelling a billion miles an hour outside of our solar system right now; human beings like us launched that thing.

Is there any other material you're reading to help guide you?

The brain is plastic. The brain can change.

All we need is drive.

Absolve your ambivalence, recite your mission every morning when you wake up, and make it the last thing you do before bed. Never forget what you're here for.

Thanks, I appreciate the reassurance. After relapse I try to embrace that feeling of shame in mind as to use it as motivation to not do it again, though I'm sure taking literal notes of the moment rather than just mental ones will help a lot. Good thing is that the mental notes are working well enough, as I woke up feeling VERY disgusted with myself for intentionally indulging in my absolute darkest fantasies last night. The only thing making me feel a bit better about it is the fact that I got it all out of my system and can now can "start a new beginning", this time with the people of this board rather than alone. (Thanks for taking the time to reply btw. You're good people)

As for other reading material, no, not at the moment. Whenever I need motivation to stick with it I just check out the yourbrainonporn website. It's usually enough to bring me back down to reality. Books on meditation and mindfulness have also helped a great deal in the past and are pretty much the sole reason I was able to kick this whole thing into gear in the first place. Though, it's been a while since I've read any of those. Got any suggestions for me?

Good advice. Thank you

Any reduction in depleting your life force will be experienced as an increase in life quality.

Ejaculating multiple times a day, which has become the norm since "sexual education" tells young men it's healthy to waste the life giving force, is extremely unhealthy.

All the cultures that have not been completely compromised have a teaching that wasting the semen is unhealthy.

The chinese have the expression "shenkui"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenkui

Leftists did a documentary on it where they implied that it was an unreasonable anxiety with no basis in reality. But then again, these are soy boys who will eat all kinds of chemical garbage, prozac, and promote extremely destructive lifestyle choices completely oblivious, or careless about the negative effects.

In India there is also an expression, "Dhat Syndrome"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhat_syndrome

Which deals with pretty much the same as the Chinese "Shenkui" does.

Prostate cancer is a western phenomenon. I explained it in previous posts. In the west, people are exposed to visual stimulus constantly. This stimulates the prostate to constantly produce seminal fluid(NOT actual semen, just the fluid). The seminal fluid, in regards to the "inflammatory" excitement response from the visual stimulus will overwork the prostate and create ejaculation urgency. When the prostate is constantly producing seminal fluid in response to visual stimulus, the inflammatory response, and ejaculation happens on a daily basis, it is the recipe for disaster.

This might be the reasoning for head coverings, skirts below the knees and general concealment of the womanly features in cultures. I'm not saying women should wear tents to protect men from postate cancer, but they don't need to walk naked in the streets either…

These non-western cultures do not have the phenomenon of prostate cancer, and not so much that from semen loss either, in the cases where men and women marry young!

For women, marrying young ensures the best offspring since her eggs are in the best condition. This is also true for the mans semen.

But for the man, marrying young helps him avoid wasting his semen in masturbation. This is why marriages are arranged. They are practical also for health reasons!

The best thing a man can do is marry a woman from his race as early as possible to ensure the propagation of his people and avoid the despicable act of masturbation and semen loss.

Tips on avoiding the cancer after a decade of constant pmo?

>>12108

Avoid the constant visual stimulation. The main thing that exhausts the prostate is that it never gets the chance to completely recover in between ejaculations, but is constantly stimulated to produce seminal fluid as a response to visual stimulus. The visual trigger only increases the production of seminal fluid from the prostate, NOT the actual semen! These are "mixed" together in the body.

When the ejaculation becomes watery and thin, there is not much semen in it and mostly seminal fluid from the prostate. That is a bad sign.

To deal with the inflammation, you can take fish oil daily to boost the production of the good prostaglandins(E1 and E3), and reduce the bad(E2) by taking COX-2 inhibiting herbs like ginger. Ginger is heating to the body though and could upset the stomache so use with care and not constantly. Listen to the body.

Another excellent oil to take is Evening Primrose Oil. It is usually marketed towards women to aid with PMS pains and cramps, but it is adaptogenic and will not have undesirable effects in men.

Saw Palmetto is said to also be good for the prostate, but you need to consult a TCM(traditional chinese medicine) practicioner for the optimal dose since supplement companies have no idea of how these herbs work.

Because of this, absolutely avoid most commercial tribulus terresteris products since it will over-stimulate the production of luteinizing hormone. The "testosterone boosting" herbs will over-stimulate the libido unless the person making the herbal combinations know what they are doing.

The commercial "test boosters" set the body on fire to overstimulate the libido, the end result being the person depleting themselves from ejaculating all the time because it is impossible to conserve the semen in a body that is on fire.

A TCM practicioner will know how to balance the herbs to avoid an overheated body. At day 5 after ejaculation, the testosterone level peaks and it becomes very difficult to resist temptation when the body is on fire. For that reason it is good to learn the microcosmic orbit tao exercise to move the energy in the body.

In the Indian ayurveda, they have principles about hot and cool herbs, and how to balance them in order not to make the body too hot or cool. If you are going to try different herbs to aid in recovery, you have to know exactly how they work and what you are doing to avoid over-stimulation or the wrong combinations.

The doctors told us to ejaculate all the time for prostate protection, but when the frequency exceeds the time the prostate takes to recover, it will have the opposite effects. As a man ages, he takes longer to recover, so that must also be taken into account.

Right. the struggle never ends. Born into this age of porn one is constantly tempted to relapse once he decides to quit.

I was failing terribly when I started a year ago because I considered it to be more of a physical struggle- telling your hand not to fap.

However it is more of a spiritual struggle - rewiring your brain not to thirst after porn/fap. Tackling this part by reading self improvement books and staying off NSFW boards lead me to longer streaks. Creating an iron will is the way.

By the way, regarding the fish and plant oils, you always want a slightly higher intake of Omega 3 than Omega 6. Plant oils are all Omega 6 so if you would take Fish Oil three times a day 1000mg each time, you would keep plant oils like Evening Primrose to around 1500-2000mg a day. This is where vegans mess it up. They all look like they are dying because their plant diets can't give them proper Omega 3. Fish Oil also has vitamin D, which everybody are deficient in, especially those who ejaculate often. The vitamin D that has been metabolized by an animal and is stored in its fat(it is fat soluble, so vitamin D in any other form is a scam) is the one that is best absorbed and utilized by the body. It is absolutely superior. Also get sunshine on your skin as often as possible.

You probably get a lot of Omega 6 in your diet already to outweigh the Omega 3 unless you eat plenty of fatty fish and seafood. Seafood is excellent, but beware of where you get it. You want as far away from Fukushima as possible. Also keep in mind that Asia, Africa and India are responsible for around 90-96% of the plastic in the oceans, and that sea creatures ingest this involuntarily since it breaks down into micro and nano particles. The further away from those continents you get your seafood, the better.

I would say for the average person should take 1000mg fish oil 2-3 times a day and 1000mg Evening Primrose oil, then see how they react to it.

The fish and plant oils will help the body produce the good prostaglandins(E1 and E3). Prostaglandins were given their name because they were first discovered in semen. Fish and plant oils will help the body produce the good ones. These help battle the inflammation.

Prostaglandin E-2 however is the inflammation hormone that you want to avoid becoming too high. If you have a burning sensation in the urethra during or after ejaculation, you have a lot of PGE-2 in the semen. The body needs some PGE-2, like with all hormones in it, but not too much!

Just about everybody can take fish and plant oils(again make sure the balance is right), but if you want to be advanced and take herbal supplements, you need to consult a TCM practicioner since it is dangerous to experiment without the proper knowledge.
