/nofap/ - Fappers Anonymous

Still going strong since 2018. Intending to keep it up

>>14337

If I can go all of 2019 without masturbating I will feel like a god.

NO

NUT

NINETEEN

Fuck, It's been at least 3 years since I began Nofap. My biggest streak was only a month. Maybe, this year I'll finally make it.

Had a busy night working at a event, full of degenerate gays and thots, slept like crap almost like being through a hangover myself, and as it usually happens, with a tremendous boner. So I relapsed just after waking up with the memory of thots in lewd dresses, hoping it would calm me down so I can sleep more.

But I haven't given up yet, I need to get over this bad loop of depression and failure. I'll avoid noporn at least like the plague. Any hint for those ones who seem to have a abnormally high sex drive?

Stickied. Let's all not waggle our willies this year, okay?

First started in 2017.

>2017

>Around 160 nofap days, around 300 relapses

>0.59 K/D

>2018

>245 nofap days, 187 relapses

>1.31 K/D

Now 2019 begins. Stay strong brothers

>>14339

You can make it. I made "almost" a whole year 2018 - except for few first days…I have to wait few days before I celebrate fap free year.

the first months are tough but it eventually gets better and easier.

Good luck to all of you lads. We can do it.

Let's do this.

>>14337

Are you fuckers really gonna make me commit to 365 days? I was aiming for 4 months senpai.

>>14350

>that second picture

That really describes the absolute state of NPCs in clown world.

>>14350

>You should probably look for new work lad. Irl roasties are my biggest struggle

I know, easier said than done though.

I have a question for you bros out here, for those that work out an strive for a higher test life style.

Previously when I first realized I had porn induced ED problems, I started taking on Peruvian Maca supplements, its something that supposedly regulates hormones, and increases arousal and semen production by a whole lot. This is true, as it help push over, be more masculine and push a new threshold on the gym.

Now I'm taking them again plus zinc supplements, the thing is, they also help a whole lot with motivation, being assertive and manly, or even with ADD symptoms, so I think it may help with anxiety and my drive motivation even though it may make my lust harder to control.

The question is, anyone else takes such kinds of supplements around here? Any advice regarding them?

>>14357

>I know, easier said than done though.

I know, look into construction trade apprenticeships. Things are still booming for now so they’ll take anyone with a GED and a clean piss test. Unions are quasi-commie, but it’s the best way to become middle class without a college degree. I bought a fixer upper homestead after only four years.

>maca

> I think it may help with anxiety and my drive motivation even though it may make my lust harder to control.

I take it in the spring since you’re only supposed to cycle it for three months on one off from what I’ve read. It didn’t really increase my lust tbh, anymore than quitting fapping tbh. It’s hormone regulatory properties may help with the dopamine swings.

>>14358

I'm actually a brazillian, not only hands on work usually the lowest of wageslaving, but the economy was heavy in the crapper, at least now we have new president are expecting for things to change.

I actually have a degree in aircraft maintenance, but no one was hiring at all in the past year, plus a lot of backed up workforce that was laid off in the past years.

But hopefully things are to change, and God willing something good will come up.

Maca cycling, are you sure were talking about the same thing? I ever heard that you needed to do such things, but either way I usually take breaks.

Its true though, it increases libido and semen production a lot, so much so that I would constantly fap and even then overcame porn induced ED.

But yeah, another point of why I'm taking these is because allegedly they with motivation, energy, strength, will power and focus.

>>14337

I think I've finally fixed myself once and for all, somehow

what I did was fall head over heels in love with a really sweet Catholic girl and boom, all of the sudden nothing turns me on anymore aside from her

I think I've suddenly discovered that I'm a huge fucking romantic, and if the emotional side is missing I just can't get into it anymore

I used to fap once a week or so, but I haven't so much as thought about it since I met her in September, it's like a goddamn magic bullet

>>14367

I'm happy for you Anon.

>once a week

Kek

>>14365

Congratulations on the new president, I hope things get better for you economically. I was talking about maca root, I’ve taken it as a powder and tincture. With anything it’s important not to become dependent, even natural herbs and foods. We have to abide by natural law first and foremost, there are seasons for detox, seasons for building and growth. Obviously you’re near the equator so it’s less variable, but look into the folk medicine of your ancestors. They’ll tell you when to feed which organs and systems and when to clean them. The Chinese lay it out pretty clearly and most of that was passed to them from the Aryans in India. Think of yourself as a farm, in the spring you till the earth and see the seeds(detox and fasting). In summer and autumn is most of the growth(high T feeding and natural supplements). Autumn is for harvest and prep for winter(hard times), ie more fasting. This is why imo newfags for /nofap/ should start in the spring rather than January 1st and pay attention to the lunar cycle(think werewolf archetypes).

Ergo, no one get discouraged if you relapse. It took me a few to get to my current over 230 streak that started in May.

Four days late, but it's better than nothing. Just deleted all my porn, taking up my hobbies more seriously to keep my mind busy.

>>14367

I had a similar thing happen to me Anon. I fell in love, did nofap for a month, worked out every day, then things didn't work out and I relapsed. Now I'm finding reasons that aren't so turbulent. I hope things go well for you.

The 4 day mark, though today I already started getting hard and very persistent morning wood, it was hard to keep my mind away from lewd thoughts.

>>14381

I get it thanks, just fyi, but my descendants are all european…

But I get what you're saying about seasons, I think it works slightly different for me, my birthday is on the 20th, so this period is usually the worst for always sort of dragging, but then after begins the true new year for myself and things start to pick up. Still this is a nice set mark for my goal, since 21 days is somewhat the magical number to get back on baseline.

Anyway thanks for the help, I'll do my best to wear the urges off, the weekend is gonna be hard.

even though I fail often at least I make tiny steps like deleting every tab instead of downloading everything after fap and such

>>14356

Idk if I'm ready to be a brah yet, but I'm certainly going for the sage this year.

4/0 right now, feels good.

Welp, today I failed boys, in the morning with some weird dreams a bad sleep, very persistent boners popping up and failing to sleep again.

Felling like crap now, not only that but being alone on the weekend, life sucks.

But at least I haven't fallen to porn again, baby steps like the above mentioned right?

>>14414

You were never going to suddenly defeat the addiction on your first attempt, nor the second or third. Relapse is not a failure, it is guaranteed to happen. When it happens you must turn around and continue on this long road of struggle, for control over your self.

There was a good thread that explained this better than I, but it appears to be long gone. BO, do you know of it? The image posted with it was a graph.

I didn't even realize that it was CY+4 when I masturbated 5 days ago at 4 am in the morning. I have not masturbated in three days. Hopefully this will continue on to the next week.

2018 marked the first year I've ever kept a complete log of my phallus-harming tendencies. I'm pretty sure it's also the first year I've had a K/D ratio less than 1 (approximately .88 to be precise). Here's to hoping that 2019 isn't as much of a disaster as the last.

>>14422

>K/D ratio

What exactly does that mean?

Also can I ask BO to unstick this thread? I'm asking because a sticky shows only 1 reply on front page and is kind of a pain.

>>14424

>What exactly does that mean?

days-without-fapping vs days-fapped

A few years ago the board came up with the idea to think of a nofap year more like this rather than as a 365 day streak, simply because beating last year's ratio is a more attainable goal and thus one you're less likely to give up on.

>Also can I ask BO to unstick this thread?

This thread is going to stay stickied all year and you're going to like it.

>>14428

Just don't fap, even if you feel like you need to.

You don't have anything to prove, nobody is judging you. Just don't fap, don't edge, don't look at ANY porn. If you "know" you aren't a homo, then you probably aren't, just don't FAP.

>>14429

But will the hocd go away after nofap/noporn?

Tbh we need a thread on this. On other sites that has a nofap community, there are guys who also experience hocd. There are also guys who have their sexual attractions hijacked to the point where they watch gay porn.

>>14350

>Take extra care around New and Full Moons. The same corollaries between the EM flux, violence, and an hero apply to willpower rather than sexual desire specifically imo. Besides Wednesdays, and multiples of 7 since I quit, New and Full Moons had the strongest urges.

You know the ways, I'm impressed.

>>14357

Eggs, zinc, higher calorie intake, rest, female interaction, all these things can spike your desire or drive to masturbate and copulate. If you allow your body to take care of it (wet dream) or get the poison out with no fantasy or visual aid (/noporn/) you can be fine.

>>14428

Most of the time people's natural sexuality returns to them when they spend a long period of time away from porn/internet use. It's an artificial stimulus response system. Most people that get to the point of having HOCD didn't get there in a few weeks, months, or even years. It took a long time of building up to it.

>>14428

>HOCD

Sorry man, but I can't relate, I don't think its at all related or accentuated with nofap, but you will know after some time without porn if its really something influencing you.

>>14436

>or get the poison out with no fantasy or visual aid (/noporn/) you can be fine

Thanks brother, I was feeling bad for relapsing on the saturday, but without porn.

I am feeling better though, I woke up pretty tired and lazy today, but I haven't been having too much lewd thoughts trouble me, this makes it 8 days without porn. At the same time I feel I need to care of my smoking now (respiration problems) and feeling my motivation waver somewhat.

>>14337

You should probably focus on quitting smoking before anything else. That's elementally dumb and unnecessary. I quit twice. Once in 2013 then later this last year. I never regret quitting once I get past the withdrawals.

>>14428

Nobody is gay. (((They))) try to make us behave that way, but we're not falling for it.

>>14432

It'll probably go away, just do nofap and find out.

>>14428

No matter the case, masturbation can't possibly solve HOCD or any case of the gay. You'll have greater odds of curing yourself if you aren't touching a dick every day.

This week… let's do it. I'll focus on work, eat good food, and take rejuvenating supplements.

Maybe I'll try to petition a higher power or value to lean on in the attempt to start again.

>>14442

>>14437

>>14436

Ok lads, it was my first day back in class after winter break. It was refreshing to see real girls again, they looked attractive. The HOCD and its symptoms still remain, though to a lesser extent. The anxiety decreased, but the intrusive thoughts and groinal responses were still there a bit. On top of that, I couldn't get it up in most cases, despite looking at hot girls

>>14439

Yeah, that's also my mentality

>>14438

Good point, but why the unnecessary piece of information?

eg, I'm quitting again, after having relapsed and slowly making a habit of it last year, I was putting it off because of combined bad feelings of nosmoke and nofap, but now I'm going for it again.

Fuck, day 1.

A well, nofap 2019 minus a week is still pretty good.

Week 1 complete.

>>14449

Go for as long as you can. Falling off the ladder is to be expected. The next climb you'll make it up more steps.

It's your life mate

>>14455

Do whatever you want, but keep in mind that only doing nofap is shit, start working out too or something like that.

Had some troublesome time this morning, very persistent boner, couldn't go back to sleep to rest more, am feeling anxious e distracted. Some of the regular symptoms I usually get when going for abstinence. Help bros?

>>14455

It doesn't have to be about the streak. A nofap year can simply be a year where you significantly lower the amount of fapping that you do. Go ahead and do whatever you need to do man.

The irony of nofap is that I do start feeling better quite quickly but the better I feel the harder it gets to maintain. It's a repeated forgetting and remembering once I've relapsed. Controlling sexual desire creates a charge but the charge builds its own strength and becomes harder and harder to control.

I just realized that I'm not waking up with morning wood

I'm on day 11

Help me bros, I'm >>14460

Things are getting hard, I'm having regular temptation with lewd thoughts (at least for real girls and not porn).

Today I was out and kept lusting after women around me, had a first I haven't had in a long time, a public free boner, out of nowhere in the bus.

I intend to keep struggling, at least have a week time before the last I've fapped.

But I'm getting anxious and trying to hold out on smoking isn't helping it.

Also starting to have problems here. But I WILL NOT give in.

>>14467

>>14469

If you are going insane let's say at day 14, etc. I don't think a manual jerk WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL MEDIA is ok. But this is equally dangerous because it leads to a chaser effect.

Once a month or once every two weeks seems to be a good balance point. Which is interesting now that I think about it because yeah that does coincide with moon cycles.

But more to the point, you have a few different strategies you need to explore.

Meditation, work, exercise, distraction (video games, reading, etc), hanging out with other people, staying mostly in public.

These are all valid strategies, the problem is trying to figure out which one you need to implement IN THAT MOMENT.

Another strategy is to remember HALT: are you Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired? These are all strong states that put you in the condition of willpower weakness. You have to channel your focus and behavior into a pre-created plan you have in advance for these states.

Tired? I'll go take a shower and go to sleep.

Lonely? I'll hit up a few friends and go hang out.

Hungry? (fucking obvious)

Angry? Work out, talk about it, or find some way to calm the fuck down.

Watch your diet and how heavy you load on calories and protein. A light diet is much easier to do nofap on - whatever that diet may consist of. It could be a good opportunity to do a cutting diet and lose some weight as well.

>>14470

One thing I forgot to add which is my fucking Kryptonite is BOREDOM.

You gotta find shit to do and just do it. Keep yourself occupied. Fun shit you like obviously.

Relapsed last night. Sleeping naked was a stupid idea, even in the heat.

Was on day 5. Gotta learn from the mistakes.

>>14470

I'm this guy >>14467 again

Relapsed this morning, after very persistent boners and some lewd thoughts flying my mind, some pre cum even began coming out, so I cave in, the good side is at least there nearly no porn imagery in my head, instead only my past experiences and wishes that are becoming more vivid. Of course it was a lower discharge than normal, still good enough to get me relaxed and rest in bed some more time.

I've been doing daily meditations before sleeping, going to church daily even if just to pass the time. Also doing exercises regularly, reading and studying, and filling in extra time with vidya.

My main problems are being lonely and jobless, leaving me with a lot of time in my hands to drivel on, but as I said at least I'm feeling a higher freedom from porn.

I'm also feeling rather lonely since my usual "hangout" friends have been drifting apart and I don't want to take part in degenerate activities. Instead I used to rely a lot on my ex-gf for affection and friendship, which unfortunately in a bad state after the break up.

Also I'm not exactly sure if intentionally depreciating your own health in favor of no fap is a good thing. I'm all up to getting myself busy and escaping temptation, but I wouldn't castrate myself in favor of that if you know what I mean. Still I have been loosing a lot of weight since the break up and tend to keep on my strict diet, probably a lot lower caloric ratio than I should have, and I feel I'm starting to lose muscle instead.

Still going lads.

>>14475

>I feel I'm starting to lose muscle

Is there protein in this diet?

>jobless

nofap is defonently easier in this case

>no friends

this is a thing I see men in particular do. there's usually someone you can contact out there.

>nofap castration

everyone has different reasons for doing this, you don't have to be excessive about it if it's causing you undue hardship. I think balance is better, in general, but if you have an addictive personality when it comes to porn then you have to be more strict about it.

>>14479

>>jobless

>nofap is defonently easier in this case

<

[tor users cannot post reaction images to express bewilderment]

>>14482

He might be on to something. My best streak ever was while I was NEET.

I'm about 4 days in. Starting to get my strength back, slowly. I've been staying on a cutting diet pretty strictly and I'm feeling the corollary downshift in the energy department.

I don't think it's just the orgasm and ejaculation, when you're looking for porn you're exploiting that dopamine tap. I've gone on six plus hour edge sessions and ended up completely fucked up at the end of them.

Each time I relapse it's like a wet towel being rung dry. Just drained of energy. That shit fucking sucks.

>>14479

>Is there protein in this diet?

Yes likely so, even though its being curt short.

>nofap is defonently easier in this case

Are you crazy, how is sitting around at home, being lazy and spending your whole day in front of the PC as a neet easier to not masturbate?

>everyone has different reasons for doing this, you don't have to be excessive about it if it's causing you undue hardship

Dumb reason, you should to be healthy at all times, and depriving oneself from health just that you get a reduced libido is far from what we should want to achieve, besides you wont be able to trust yourself to be celibate once you're healthy again.

>>14485

You're not wrong.

>>14486

>are you crazy

Don't use your computer. Look for a job or education. Yeah, it's easier when you're not stressed out all the time. It just takes discipline like anything else.

>>14486

Do you think a man can successfully maintain celibacy indefinitely with no unmanageable side effects?

How long have you gone?

>>14484

He is, the whole reason a lot of people fap in the first place is to relieve stree. NEETdom is incredibly low stress if done right.

>>14491

*stress

>>14491

Tips?

>>14495

Only use your computer for essential tasks. Get a porn or web blocker if you think it will help. Exercise as regularly as you can. Meditate with a similar intent.

The most difficult thing about NEETdom is a lack of meaning and purpose. When you are doing nofap, work, any kind of work, is great. Chores, volunteering, doing yard work. There are things you have the time and energy to improve.

Keep your why in your head. Listen to inspirational and/or informative podcasts.

Your subjective reality tunnel is your oyster.

>>14487

>Don't use your computer. Look for a job or education.

>don't get a job

>get a job

For fuck sake mate, consistency in words is a must…

welp relapsed again but without porn…

Its getting harder bros.

>>14489

I don't think so, but still, if you end up just going to a worse state of health it doesn't really makes, I mean isn't the point of nofap precisely that of self improvement and self control? Isn't one of the advantages to find a stronger surplus of energy and motivation? What's the point then if you're intentionally cutting your energy off?

I think you got the wrong idea.

>>14498

You'll figure it out if you really want to quit.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

End of day 12 and memories of camwhores haunt me at night. I stayed the fuck away from all lewds knowing that even looking at lewds is the beginning of a downwards spiral.

>>14509

It is indeed brother, stay strong. Happened to me yesterday, lewds haunting me to relapse miserably at night to h-game.

>>14436

>It's an artificial stimulus response system. Most people that get to the point of having HOCD didn't get there in a few weeks, months, or even years. It took a long time of building up to it

What do you mean?

I've thinking more and more about addictions and how it screws us over, if you can quit cold turkey good for you, but its harder for those of us which it has a strong grip on.

One way to give it a shock off, is to drown in it so much that you feel disgusted with ourself and can't take it anymore (increase pain), like for example, smoking always gets me bad because I can feel it in my lung and breathing, one way to shock yourself out of it is to smoke so much you're nearly dead the other day.

This could be the same as many of you know, to relapse and fap so much in a day that you feel dead inside after, then you can go cold turkey for longer. This is an alternative of trying to wean off.

Of course you still will need to be vigilant after, what usually get us too is desire crippling up back again without being too strong, so we think "well I'll just take a look" or "I'll just smoke one cig".

But this is the worst and almost always leads up to complete relapse and breakage of habit. Just always stay vigilant (write it on obvious places to remind you).

>>14504

My point is that it doesn't make sense to do it that way.

You should be getting tired and occupied so that desire doesn't creep up, but instead of intentionally cutting your libido like a soyboy you should be doing actually good/productive activities that help you.

Like being tired from work, working out, reading, studying, all that crap, even going out and getting some sun (even if alone).

>>14525

Dunno if this will work but, start with breathing exercises or 'meditation' when the intrusive thoughts start up. DON'T look up porn or even think of her sexually, that only encourages relapse. If you feel that's not working then do something that gets you off your arse like walking or circuits, it won't get rid of the thoughts but you can bet you won't fap. Good luck Anon

>>14530

Also recommend wearing jeans more often as getting an erection in those boys hurts like shit due to tightness (not the skinny fag ones the normal ones)

Day 17 and I'm also quitting caffeine. I'm also doing 22 hour intermittent fasts. Eating meat every morning makes me horny but it eventually fades when the hunger sets in. The real torture is the caffeine withdrawal. I quit because I feel it's the main thing keeping me from succeeding at nofap but damn does it feel like my IQ dropped 50 points and I have no motivation to do any meaningful work other than laying in bed and sleeping all day. I do make an effort to get outside and stand in the sunlight so I don't end up with bedsores.

>>14530

Yep, when I start having sexual thoughts I slow my breathing and consciously distract myself by thinking about literally anything else.

>>14533

Supposedly addiction runs in my family. I have a bunch of cousins who are drug addict losers. I've always made an effort to keep away from things that could be addicting to me. Drugs obviously, but also caffeine, sugary food, even video games. Unfortunately I got addicted to the big one, so here I am. I'm glad I kept away from coffee.

Still going. Approaching that record 15 day streak.

>>14533

>I'm also quitting caffeine

IMO you should only focus on one addiction at a time. Quitting fapping is hard enough by itself.

>>14537

Good luck

I must not fap.

Fapping is the mind-killer.

Fapping is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my desire.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the desire has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

True to that, I'm quitting smoking (because of breathing as well), and doing everything at once really pushes anxiety to the edge.

Beginning my nofap again today :'(

>>14544

Nice

Shit how do you deal with the shakes and vertigo? Happens when I really feel like I need porn to get through the day and when I come across porn. Usually meditating works but it's still feels like a hangover afterwards. Anyone else experience this?

I relapsed today in the shower. In the morning I wake up, get into the shower groggy, and my mind quickly wanders to sexual thoughts.

Two things I need to do now, fix my sleep schedule, and stop having hot showers in the morning.

Fugging start of day 16. I started nofap 1 day early.

>>14564

RIP.

Get back on the wagon though Anon.

How are you guys holding up?

Its been pretty hard for me lately, usually faping to noporn, but managed to hold myself strong today, still I feel that my lewdness and porn fetish are far from gone.

>>14582

16/3, day 3 complete.

>>14582

Still going strong. Half the battle is being disciplined enough to not think about lewd things at all.

>>14337

I cuddled with my gf, clothed, no fapping was involved. But I did bust into my pants because I was horny.

Does this count as failing my streak?

>>14590

>>>/tv/

I'm becoming detached from the act of sex. I'm not going to have children and I no longer use it for entertainment so I'm having an identity crisis over something that has dominated the media throughout my life. I feel alienated from the typical media that puts sex on a pedestal. The new music video depicts a black woman becoming a goddess through sex. It's not something I would want to worship. I'm not even religious. The energy that builds up is circulated throughout my body and used to nourish myself rather than spilled in sacrifice to some corporate controlled nigger pushing a feminist agenda.

I'm >>14428

I am on day 21 of nofap and I constantly feel stressed and anxious for no reason (I think it could be separate from the HOCD). Even when I look at girls, I can tell they're hot, but I don't get boners. My morning wood is also delayed.

>>14598

It's withdraws man. It takes like 3 months for your brain to go back to (pretty much) normal.

>>14591

?

I am serious about my question. I am OP btw.

>>14601

Not him, but did it feel like a full orgasm? If it didn't, I would say no. If it did, I would say it's up to you.

RIP in piece, failed hard again, basically 1 week from the last time I browser porn (friday to saturday).

Guess to never give up, and get back up straight.

>>14601

No, if you didn't fap you didn't fail your streak, but it does count as cumming, don't kill yourself over it, but if you're at that point maybe you should be jerking off or at least having sex with her.

>>14605

welcome mate, whats that book you got there?

>>14602

It felt as a partial orgasm - I held it back as well as I could.

>>14606

Not at that point do not worry. But it showed me how difficult it is to keep chastity until marriage.I guess this was bound to happen and it is a part of struggle. It's better now after few days I regenerated and feel less guilty about it. will go to confession.

What helped me themost was purging going to /s/ and /gif/, and eventually even to /b/. Those boards are no good, they will drag you back to porn eventually even if you are the kind of larper as I am:

>I am going to /b/ just to look at funny vids or clothed women…I will not search for nudity threads

>I go to /s/ so see beautiful women, clothed. Not because of naked pics

Sometimes /b/ still gets me. Fucking annoying/

>>14610

btw I do realize my question was autistic so thanks for an answer to it. Looking back it may have seemed as somebody baiting.

>>14590

No, you only relapse when you jack off and cum by yourself. Granted, sex would have been preferable, but you didn't relapse.

Ok sure but how do you do this?? Should you try building it up with occasional fails or just go cold turkey???

>>14616

Wat? Are you shitposting or is that actually a thing?

>>14617

Thats twice as far as I've ever made it Anon. Don't feel too bad.

>>14617

Night emissions happen. You should not break your streak after waking up though.

If you do not watch porn/nudity you will be less likely to have night emissions. Night emissions are not that a bad thing though.

>>14618

cold turkey

>>14620

>Night emissions happen. You should not break your streak after waking up though.

they do happen more often if you have more sexual stimuli around, if they happen, I dont see how cant you not count it as a broken streak?

>>14621

Easily, you did not fap and it is mostly beyond the realm of your control. You may limit the stimuli but that''s it. Also it is not as draining as the fapping would be. You give off less fluid

>>14608

Definitely know this feel, one of my longest streak I got a massive public hard on while on a bus just but checking out some whore with a cleavage.

I think this will go slightly weaker as time goes by and you wear off degenerate feelings.

But also keep in mind that's how its meant to be, the majority of women will no doubt be average, they all have their flaws and little things we bother about, still its natural to attraction then, and better some real women than just a regular thot.

>>14625

>Easily, you did not fap and it is mostly beyond the realm of your control.

I see how one could claim that, but I would say that your "subconsiouss" showed your true thoughts and its not like you cant influence that area.

Are cold showers good? Do they increase testosterone?

>>14633

faggot

>>14636

I practice them but Im not sure honestly, great when in temptation to do onany since they provide a dopamine fix

>>14626

Dude I know that feel some thot had half her tits out on the bus and then bent down to pick something up and I saw down her shirt.

My dick isn't out of control yet though, still rarely get boners randomly so far.

>>14627

Of course you may influence it. If yyou never ever watched porn your dream "fantasies" would be much less deviant. However since all of us watched that shit….it stays in your brain perhaps even up to the point fo your death since the memories are really long term when connected to such a happy instance as orgasm is.

You are at fault, you give off the fluid . But I do not think it is failing the streak. Also it is arguable if wet dream is a sin it is mostly beyond your control - except for keeping the thoughts clean during the day

So now I'm actually considering doing stuff that will directly reduce my sexual libido at first, sort of to reduce the hard on temptation. Thinking of taking a rest from working out and taking on maca supplements, it may have a backslash of killing my motivation, as well as giving me more time and energy to meddle around pointless.

I'm gonna try it though. Also still am having trouble waking up at 5 in the morning, everyday, even if still sleepy. Any of folks had issues like that?

>>14608

Find a logical standard to hold women to. If -> then sort of progression. If she's a slut, if she's a communist, etc, etc. Try to figure it out. I worry about the same thing.

>>14617

It's not a reset but you're definitely tempting yourself which came out in your subconscious.

>>14636

They are great depending on the situation. They can wake you up, they increase norepinephrine in the bloodstream, that "wakefulness" feeling. They do increase testosterone. In my experience, you should take them when you feel healthy (aka not sick) otherwise they can be negative.

>>14652

Cranking up the testosterone boosters to nofap is like running with weights on. I do the same shit. I eat lots of eggs and take maca, yadda yadda. It's not a great idea but I do like the feeling of having higher testosterone.

>trouble waking up at 5

I have three alarm clocks. The first one I just turn off. The second one I place somewhere inconvenient to get at. They are all set to slightly different times as well.

When I have all three on, I always get up.

>>14636

I've looked into cold showers and from what I read they are mixed studies that show that cold showers boost testosterone or help your mental state.

Although, cold showers have proven time and time again to help your hair and skin.

So it may be a member for mental benefits, but definitely not for your skin and hair. Cold showers are definitely recommended as they do push yourself.

>>14654

>find a logical woman

Where can I find something like that?

>>14659

You don't want a logical woman, you want one with good instincts.

>>14654

>I have three alarm clocks. The first one I just turn off. The second one I place somewhere inconvenient to get at. They are all set to slightly different times as well.

Oh I didn't mean like that, I meant that I am actually waking up at 5 without wanting to, depending on the day, I will just roll up in bed overthinking stuff, sometimes dozing off again. I don't even need to get up before 8.

>>14664

Oh. That's completely different, yeah.

Cut out caffeine after 12 PM for starters, then make sure you put out enough physical effort during the day to make you tired enough to fall asleep quickly. A hot shower before bed can help.

>>14667

>cut out caffeine after 12 PM

You mean midday? I kinda already do that, been drinking very little coffee, though I usually do tea on the afternoon and night.

Still I don't think that's the problem, when it gets around 22~23h I'm already quite sleepy, so falling asleep isn't the problem. But instead waking up from anxiety, or perhaps it could be the heat (very hot this season where I reside).

On another topic, woke up early today as well, but managed to keep rolling in bed, was troubled by some very persistent morning wood, started fapping but quickly survived it. Three days in for reference.

>>14684

>There are thots running around all over campus with bouncy tits and yoga pants with jiggling asses.

Yeah, that must be hard, maybe a thot to do the service for you?

I'm only at the 4 day mark since my last relapse, I'm strong though I'm starting the feel the distractions and energy spurr, I will usually get up and fight the air, feeling harder to focus on quiet reading. Its also at this state where I'm more usually to look for lewds for distraction, even though I'm feeling overly aroused yet.

What do?

>>14684

>>14687

Embrace the suck. Remember why you are doing what you are doing. There are some things that you can do in which pain indicates it's working.

The reset time on delta-Fos-B is a month. During the time your sensitivity to the stimulus increases until it drops off and you get the dreaded flat line.

>>14690

>Embrace the suck

Almost took that literally, which reminded me of another question, what are /nofap/ thoughts on Tinder whores?

Or specifically hook up in general, it can be a form of quick release if it need be, however I think it may also be a slippery slope and excuse to keep living in degeneracy, after all you browse through pictures alone, and they are likely to send lewds as well.

Regarding the flatline, does it really take that long, I felt that I was flatlining just a week, eg I imagine its the tremendous bad feeling that looks like the world is falling down on us.

>>14694

Use some common sense dude. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask "Is hooking up with random sluts online okay? Am I okay okay with it?" I don't think I need to tell you the answer. You can use this trick for anything you're questioning the morality of.

>>14694

Nigger thats not any better than fapping, its way worse in my opinion.

Idk what your motives are for doing no-fap if you just want to fap inside of some random whore.

>>14703

>allow myself to edge

wth do you mean? that you kept watching porn while not cumming?

>>14705

I never watched porn. Once in a blue moon I'd dry hump a pillow and stop without cumming. This morning I went a bit too far.

So yesterday I relapsed again, always on the Saturdays, a weak point of mine, at least I'm relapsing in a more subtle manner.

But something strange happening, when it comes around, I didn't get to feel overly aroused even though, I've been having porn flashes and a high desire to look at it (which happened yesterday).

But I also begun feeling really sad, overly anxious, the other issues I've been fighting over kept popping up my mind, suddenly yesterday I was hit with a immense dread feeling, and I could the emotions bottling up in my throat, finally sat down and burst out crying out loud. It was refreshing but soon after I relapsed.

What is this dread feeling, has anyone else been through it? I think it can be the fogginess going out and the feelings I had bottled up finally coming out. On the other hand I'm wondering if this is what the dreaded flatline feels like. Help bros, it felt good releasing those feelings, and then satiating back into orgasm, however afterwards, last night and today I've been feeling even more miserable for failing.

>>14721

You're reacting emotionally because until now, you've probably used fapping as a way of dealing with stress. Your body didn't know what to do to get that release. This is good though because it shows you're breaking your old habits. If you keep it up, you'll naturally find yourself dealing with stress in more healthy ways. Like this anon says >>14726 , there are many other ways to channel that energy. I really recommend exercise.

>>14726

>>14728

Thanks Bros, I'd imagined that was the dreaded flatline.

I'm already working out on the week days, given how the cycle is worst at the the weekend, I've been thinking of taking a bike ride out, that should be fun.

To give some detail, I'm currently unemployed, which already make it hard to fill the time with, luckily during the week I'm being able to fill my time, with study, reading, and extra activities. I've also been through a break up, only to make it harder, during the weekends when i have nothing to do and remember about being lonely.

Add you can see, it's a quite hard cycle to break from, but I think I'm getting better.

>>14748

Congrats bro, I feel weak in comparison.

I'm just 5 days in, started getting painful erections and wavering motivation.

I'm also starting to think in a change of paradigm, not to succumb to the hard on, but to accept and embrace it fully, but I imagine how bothersome it must be, and I don't get the impression that any of the regular no fappers are walking around with constant boners.

But anyway, any advice for me at this stage?

I did nofap for over a month and I had a wet dream today. Does this not count as a broken streak? Does it change anything (body/mental changes)?

I'm ignoring my sexual urges as well as other addictions. I'm definitely in a flatline and experiencing depression. It isn't a suicidal type of depression though I feel like I've wasted much of my life and I'm still not doing much to change it. I have to get used to this life of no caffeine again. It's a constant calm focus instead of the roller coaster of highs and lows.

>>14748

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiit

>>14749

Try not to entertain sexual thoughts, I know it may seem hard (difficult) but try to think of something else, make it a habit whenever sexual thoughts come up.

>>14340

lmao

So it seems I'm reaching something new, is been only 6 days since my last relapse, but instead of growing in urge, I'm getting the opposite, my penis is wrinkled and dried, morning wood not as bad, lewd thoughts nearly absent and weak. Can't tell exactly how I feel, but a somewhat sad mood, like tired.

What is this? Is it something normal along the process? I'm even thinking is the answers to my constant praying.

>>14750

It is not a relapse. The effects are much much lesser than if you fapped. It takes me about one day to recover from wet dream or it is not even discernable.

>>14749

>5 days

Boners are normal at that stage. You will get to flatline eventually but it will take few weeks. After that you will still get turned on, sure, you will also be thirsty just to talk to women. But you will not go around with constant boner. do not worry about it.

Try to get busy during the day. Do things, work out to drain your energy into productive things. That way you will not have any time to masturbate. Also avoid nsfw like plague. You will only get hungry for a nut when you see hot chicks onlne

Other things that help is: talking to priest/prayer

Lads, I woke up this morning humping my mattress and busting a phat nut in my boxer shorts before i realised what was happening. In the dream I was watching porn, pretty lame

does this count as a relapse? I was on day 16. i didn't 'fap' per se and still haven't watched any porn. my balls feel like they've been drained and i feel kinda lazy and unfocused but still gonna soldier on.

>>14768

>Boners are normal at that stage. You will get to flatline eventually but it will take few weeks.

Thanks, see I'm >>14767

It was all going fine I think, but then after an unexpected incident with my computer, I had was forced to dual boot into windows, where some reminiscent lewds were lying around.

I inevitably looked around, and then even start browsing for more, but this still much more manageable from the other times I derailed hard off track. Still haven't a hard on but could feel pre-cum just from seeing some pictures.

>>14769

>I am glad that my gf does not try to touch my dick/wank it.

You silly bastard, its true she would suck out your masculine energy, but I see no problem in giving to your women every now and then.

>>14770

>fapping februari

>stop jerking off to 2d to jerk off to real whores

humm wut?

>>14787

*it left a mark on my soul.

Pardon my english

Day 5 for me. I want to start getting those nofap gains again. I have a pull up bar in my house mocking me for my weakness.

I'm trying to go to bed when I get home and wake up early. Usually a relapse for me is a couple factors - stress, loneliness, boredom - combined usually at late night or early morning that conspire to create a relapse.

I will probably read, do drugs, or exercise if I feel it getting to me. It disturbs me how much garbage I have put in my brain.

Damn lads, I am making quite a lot of progress, but I'm feeling sad and my wiener barely wakes up.

However this afternoon, with the hard feelings cramping up, I ended up looking more and more into stuff that could tempt me, after finally giving in and download and looking through a whole gallery (hentai stuff), getting that dopamine rush and finally waking up my dick.

What do lads, when temptation starts to rise up is when things go bad. But somehow I feel my dick is staying humble this time, however the crippling porn addiction showing its ugly control over me again.

>>14823

To add to this, I'm still motivated to make to at least magical day 21, however the bad feels and literally lack of horniness to live is making me question my motivation at all.

Point being that if I'm going to feel like crap and live a sad life I might as well enjoy myself while at it.

Is there really superpowers at the end of this rainbow?

>>14824

have you been exercising?

what are your supplements

>>14777

I think you misread the post anon, it's "fuck fapping februari", not "fapping februari".

And the image isn't about fapping to one thing in favour of the other, I meant it in a way that there are no excuses for fapping and that it is all just sad shit.

>>14829

> have you been exercising?

Yeah I do, 3 times a week at home, is not like it's some magical pill or something.

> what are your supplements

Maca root and zinc, usually healthy diet that runs on caloric deficit.

Another day surviving, but this has been a hard morning, stay rolling in bed a whole lot overthinking, I'm still sad and not getting better, and then the lewd thoughts kept popping up even when my sick was still asleep. So didn't felt motivated to get up at all, and we're having a particular for weather to sleep for, so i just start in bed for a whole lot more than I would be used to.

>>14839

I know it's not a magical pill, but it helps.

Yeah, sadness and boredom usually get to me eventually and I tend to break. Take it one moment at a time. Talking to someone or hanging out with friends can help tremendously at that point.

I feel like the flatline depression a symptom of not having something to live *for*, you know?

I guess it depends on what you want. Why do you care enough to try to stop watching porn?

>>14841

>I feel like the flatline depression a symptom of not having something to live *for*, you know?

>I guess it depends on what you want. Why do you care enough to try to stop watching porn?

I get that, to be fair is pretty hard getting something to live for at this stage, I'm failure of a neet desperate for a job, but failing. I also lost what would be my ideal girlfriend a couple of months ago, so yeah…

My reason to stop fapping and watching would be exactly counter that, even though it feels to late to at this point. But to focus my motivation on achieving real life goals and my sexual energy on a real life female.

I'm currently still holding off, though temptation is building up. I got that stuck feeling up my throat again, like I could cry at any given moment, the sadness and depression building up and I feel extremely distracted and demotivated on my daily hassle. I still am somewhat pushing through and doing things I should do, but its getting harder and literally diminishing in motivation. Is this still normal? Is this the flatline? Is it something else or was I just too deep in this rabbithole?

Ok lads, where is everybody at?

Here I am again on a new streak after failing last week, problem is this time around I'm on that much more aggressive side, which means it probably gonna be harder to avoid temptation.

A funny thing though, its already been three days since my last fail and I feel like it just happened, kind like throwing my time perspective off, since I usually would such short intervals between fapping.

>>14855

Not really sure if its against the rules, I'm trying to avoid telegram, since it was the sole method I used to communicate with my ex-gf, or rather, I only used it with her.

>>14337

Still going strong

Checking in from the habit mostly

>>14870

On day 5 at the moment, soon to be day 6.

Almost failed today, but halfway through I just thought "the fuck am I doing?" and went for a walk.

I started having cold showers and exercising again and it's helped a lot. The last two lapses I've had were early morning in the shower (hot shower), and after browsing /v/, so I've stopped both.

I always try to keep in mind that willpower can be trained, that though it is finite, it can be improved. If you constantly give in to temptation, it weakens, yet if you constantly exercise it, you can burn out. There's a fine line. So I know that even though I may give in every now and then, every day I don't is a step forward.

>>14870

>Not really sure if its against the rules

It's good. Unfortunately, chat is not active and only 1 man join us (and he writes nothing).

>I'm trying to avoid telegram, since it was the sole method I used to communicate with my ex-gf, or rather, I only used it with her.

I'm sorry about that. The reason who I chose telegram is my trust and conviction that it's the best messenger now.

>>14878

And how you see, I'm not native-speaker, so.. My appologise for my English.

>>14877

>There's a fine line. So I know that even though I may give in every now and then, every day I don't is a step forward.

Interesting anon, I'm around day 5 as well, though this is proving to be a rather anxious week.

Like what you said, I have the will and keep fighting, however at some point the negative feelings become overwhelming and just get tired of doing so much to distract myself from it.

>>14855

>telegram

Im interested, but I have no idea what it is? app based or pc?

>>14855

Goddamn, failed just now, in a fucking way that I wouldn't believe, just saw a hentai picture, went to look source manga for it, grabbed my dick for one second and out of nowhere I was already ejaculating that oldish yellow cum.

And I wasn't even feeling particularly aroused earlier, what is going, getting to be this sensitive won't help me.

>>14926

I have stopped going to the /v/, /a/, etc. for this exact reason. If you are this sensitive then I advise you to do the same.

>>14940

Already don't go to these places, still there is an occasional trap picture that gets you wondering about its source.

But even then this was a most uncommon occurrence.

>>14337

>Cuddle with gf

>cross the line a bit

>she basically begins to jack me off

That was tough to put an end to it. I had little strength to resist. Luckily I did resist and stop her. Don't know if I would be able to do it if she was blowing me though.

A year streak would have ended.

I just failed after a 50 day streak, my longest record. I was at my computer doing a project and I got incredibly horny. Will this cause changes to my body and mind? Will I have to endure the flatline again?

I'm on day three, usually I don't have a third day of nofap. Managed a 9 day streak a couple of weeks ago. I don't aim to fail now, but al very suspicious about being able to resist.

I'm so fucking tired of being fap fatigued and my brain in a fog all the time. My energy levels begin rising fast after a week of nofap, but the mental addiction I have to that shit is really strong.

Just making a week now, the weekends are usually the danger zones for me.

Happily though I have a busy schedule and aim to have a friendly gathering later.

But I'm starting to have lust problems, and the porn withdraw kicking in.

Also just noticed that it happens to a full moon, what was that about full moons and sin temptation?

Anyway, rubbing my balls sort of feel good, I feel they are pretty full, what else to recommend?

Does fapping increase acne?

I relapsed playing gal gun for about 4 hours straight, day 3. Afterwards I purged it and anything like it from my computer.

I feel pretty shit but glad at least that I am purging temptations gradually.

>>15020

I used to have a lot of acne problem, specially in my back, some frequent internal bulging zits, and that's being a 30+ yo.

I can definitely say I've seen improvements, not only they dry faster, but the overall aspect of my back is looking better.

>>15025

> gal gun

What the hell is that?

>>15026

> morning person

Definitely can say that we well, however my motivation and focus fluctuate wildly, sometimes I just feel incredibly distracted.

>>15027

>What the hell is that?

The worst game ever made. Shame on you >15025

Darn it, just relapsed after ten days, was struggling since yesterday with constant boners, inflated balls and painful dick.

Was managing to hold it earlier on, but worst thing is that it led me to search for some pornography this afternoon.

Time to dust myself off and go at it again.

One thing I was wondering if others experience it too, I don't know if its because I also usually tend to be more firm more dietary needs, so more strict with excess and crap eating, so usually when I'm on nofap I'm also getting some really low frequency but huge shits, and I don't mean they're big and hard, but just very long and well formed, like a healthy but huge shit. I wonder what's up with that.

>>15042

>inflated balls

I've always heard of this as a symptom, but my balls only hurt if I fap a lot or edge.

>>15045

Well is not much as painful, but just that you sort of feel your balls are full are massaging sort of helps it feels better without being a direct sexual stimuli, I don't know exactly what goes on.

But after having an erection and feeling the desire, I can definitely say that the penis itself hurts, specially the head, like being painfully hard.

And speaking of which, after I relapsed in my last comment >>15042

Which wasn't sort of a full relief, I relapsed badly into porn again, sort of in a constant state of distraction and searching for lewds, with a progressive arousal scaling up, I can feel I'm about to succumb, trying to hold at least until this weekend.

This is a problem I've found when you relapse but not to a full crash, its like get hooked up harder than before, and you get can't peace until fully emptying my balls to start over.

>>14951

Nobody wants to hear any of that, you degenerate.

Y'all are memers.

>Usually masturbate twice a week.

>Stop for a few months.

>Feel exactly the same except now I want to jerk off.

I mean uhh I was on a plane and this girl literally sat on my dick it was crazy bro nofap is a literal magnet stay strong bros 81 day streak here.

>>15104

Nofap for sexual things is degenerate, it defeats the purpose.

Had a few relapses this year, not that I've ever had a debilitating masturbation issue but I'd like to abstain from it for a year no matter how the sex drive gets.

Currently day 11 and doing well but this time around no caffeine or alcohol, not even weak tea. Does cortisol spikes from caffeine encouraging fapping as a stress reliever? Makes sense if it does, just because caffeine is legal it doesn't mean we can't be prisoners to it, sleep is much much better as well.

Alcohol is an enemy. Hangovers leave me a horny mess. I've had enough fun anyway.

Where is that anon that also takes the maca root?

After struggling a lot the past few weeks, I'm thinking of giving up, or at least cutting for stone time, is true that it helps recover a lot faster, but it also gives painfully blue balls after a week or too. I'm struggling in this period so I would at least stop until I can kick the porn off for good.

>>15112

> Alcohol is an enemy. Hangovers leave me a horny mess. I've had enough fun anyway.

I get that same way, even though I feel horrible in general. You should at least learn to drink in moderation, but it's dangerous indeed. Caffeine I learn isn't that bad at all, try to make your own brew, and of course have moderation, I'm getting used to have something lighter for the afternoon and nights, like tea.

Day 10, I was just having morning wood and that terrible drab feeling that everything is shit.

Until this afternoon I finally cave in and started looking for some hentai, didn't even go that far but got one of those extremely painful hard-ons.

Have strength with me brothers, this was just a little relapse from noporn, but I fear my libido is increasing.

Does anyone have good tips on how to kill this built up libido without ejaculating?

>>15208

Well each one does his own journal thread, but feel welcome to post here or whatever.

>>15112

So Day 19 and I'm convinced alcohol has a part in me getting horned up beyond belief. I had one can of Jack Daniels after helping friends move house over the weekend and the mental imagery of women wouldn't stop the next day. Maybe because in my younger years alcohol and hitting on girls went hand in hand, I rarely drank alone so it's hard to tell for sure but there's a connection. Didn't touch my dick one though, just hitting the weights and yelling racial epithets to quell those thoughts.

I urge everyone who are prone to relapses to document everything you do and put in your body and see if there's a connection with anything, even things seemingly unrelated.

>>15217

What do you do all day? Keeping yourself busy works the best in my experience

>>15229

> What do you do all day?

Literally my biggest problem, I'm unemployed and haven't got that much to do, I'm literally trying to fill up my whole day by reading and studying, I also got church daily and try to fill up with extra activities. But all those things can only get me so far, a could days of reading and you get burned out, even Vidya isn't satisfying me that much since I remain with a feeling of shame for being a neet still.

>>15226

Alcohol is definitely a big problem, not only it will get you more horny that day, for some reason the hang overs get me terribly aroused. So if I drink to much one day, I know the other day I'll be a horny mess.

>>15243

>I'm unemployed and I don't have much to do

Vid related, helped me solve that problem right quick lmao.

I’m that anon. Thank you so much for sharing

Nearing day 28 guys, we're making it, how are my other brothers here?

I'm this anon >>15113

And abstaining from the supplements, restraining myself from stuff and fasting did help a lot in the beginning, though it plunged me through a really bad phase of demotivation and flatlining.

I've recently started eating whole cooked onions, along with taking some of the supplements again, it was enough to wake me up again, but at the same time to the bad reality I'm in with bad feelings.

So with this another week gone by I feel I'm descending again into another flatline. The temptation have gotten much weaker, though I still have a nostalgia feeling that I'm missing on sex. My fault these days is that I still tend to read some light hentai from time to time, but I've learned not to even touch my dick, so its gotten much easier to control.

Now lets carry on anons, do not forget to share in your reports.

>>15413

I am still here.

You could at least use less cancerous language.

>>15432

Glad to see, I wonder as well that other anon who takes maca root. Being on nofap while taking it easy and fasting is easy, but when you try to get more physical it gets harder, specially in the mood department.

>over 3 weeks of nofap

>suddenly woke up with cum on my pants today

How to avoid this?

>>15492

Its called a wet dream, and to be honest I envy you, I'm over a month and have to bear the feeling of full balls.

I'm more concerned about my mood swings, I'm going from lazy to very grumpy regularly, though its not as bad as it was with the constant fapping. But how do anons experience mood changes?

Nevermind. The book is shit. Fuck you.

>>15511

Not him, but care to explain?

Day 23. My maximum was 77 days.

Got to 120 once

t. faps almost daily

Just hit day 40 lads. My best streak since 2015, when this board was founded. This isn't even me doing it, I started praying the Rosary daily and the urges just became significantly less intense. Prayer has been working out better for me than any of the cool tips and tricks people suggest for nofap ever did.

Actually, I was praying Lectio Divina every day during my 2015 streak too.

Anti-root man is right, Jesus truly is the leader of the /nofap/ alliance.

>not jerking off will give me super powers!

Wew lad, you cultists may as well drink soy to speed it up

>>15603

Your body takes a lot of nutrients from your body just to make sperm, so yeah being able to hold off fapping for long periods will make you stop feeling so lethargic all the time.

>>15603

40 days now.

I'm 40 days in and about coming in a new temptation cycle, feelings of bitterness of the past, along with missing feeling horny and good old porn. These two always seems to come up on pairs, I think it has to do with loneliness and bad feelings cropping up, and instinctively seeking up some form of distraction as I was used to.

So in the regards, porn and sexual content still remains a sort of a week spot, because it feels like it still holds value as a good entertainment, just the feeling of being aroused is good, which is what you miss when you got no other source of arousal.

The good news is that the habits do change, for example I don't get that compulsory need to always yank my dick whenever blood starts following there. Another good thing is that taste for perversion does wear off, you specially start to see how disgusting and ugly most porn forms really are.

So hold on strong, we're gonna make it!

Began in december 2018, still going. we are going to make it my brothers. no worries.

my main motivation is Allah and my own commitment.

>>15603

Nobody says that, Now move on to your porn faggot

This morning when I woke up, I was edging myself, but I didn’t ejaculate. Then, later in the day I took small peeks at porn. Does this fuck up my brain or my streak?

(Im on day 26)

>>15663

milk that big cock daddy

>>15619

Yes I think I agree with that idea, extending to any form of infertile sex even within your race. Its difficult because I'm indian and I know some white girls in my old friend circle who want me bad and I think about giving into it whenever I'm visiting home but at the same time I know it will always be unfruitful because I would never marry them or have mix raced abominations even if I grew to love them. Being friends with them is impossible, I will always have that lust from knowing whats in their minds. I don't know how to deal with this.

>>15667

I really have to reset?

Just fapped 4 ti!es yesterday amd now I feel like garbage. How do I stop?

>>15717

You decide that your life with porn is over. You aren't sacrificing anything, you aren't someone who jacks off resisting yourself, you are someone who doesn't jack off AT ALL. Every time you get an urge its the poison dying. Laugh at that shit. Its over and you are healing. You can be free. Let yourself be free, the only sacrifice is actually fapping.

>>15717

today is the end. Every time you get the urge think about how proud you are that you have already achieved one of the biggest accomplishments in your life by becoming someone who will never carry on with fapping in your life. That is who you are now. Don't run away from porn its not a matter of willpower its about understanding the freedom that you chose to give yourself today.

porn doesn't fill a void it creates it. Its like hurting yourself so that you don't feel pain after you hurt yourself.

Anons, I've been nofap no porn for nearly 30 days now and far from being unable to control my urges, I actually have a very low sex drive, with weak erections, and I am finding it easy to control myself, although I'm very worried there might be a more serious underlying issue.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing?

In previous nofap attempts this has never been an issue.

>>15740

It depends on what you're expecting to get arousal from,if you're just living, then its normal, if you're actually having the company of a female, then it might actually be an issue, but if you're looking at porn and not getting anything, don't worry. There is a turn off period called flatline, after the first 21 days, usually you feel pretty grim and demotivated, and kind missing the actual feeling being horny itself rather than pornography. This is normal, and what happens is that libido comes back stronger afterwards, so beware, but most importantly, its a good sign of progression, around when you realize that you don't to spill over semen constantly to keep a sane life.

>>15740

I'm about 7 months into nofap and I'm kinda the same way. I even look at porn pics for a couple of minutes every day and feel almost nothing be it from anime tiddies to full blown furshit. Maybe it's over exposure and I'm less susceptible to the Coolidge Effect, maybe it's because I got into philosophy and see prudence as a virtue and lust as degeneracy.

On a side note, every time I browse /monster/, it does nothing for me, The whole place just feels like a sleazy fetish pit where lust is disguised as prudence so it's okay to indulge because "muh vanilla 2d pure waifu" or some shit. The idea of disguising lust as purity is a dangerous way to trap yourself into an addiction.

>>15807

Gonna be honest here, these raid dumps nearly got me, but mostly I just skimped through without problem, just a few pictures here and there that managed to piq up my arousal, dick got painfully hard for a moment, and I even went off in search for a source.

But luckily I disassociated the combo of feeling horny and immediately touching myself, so even if I was succumbing for a moment, it didn't last enough for me to lose it, and soon I realized how porn was disgusting again.

So the moral here, it doesn't matter if you're getting ED for the sort of degenerate stuff you were used to fap, what matters is if you gonna get horny from real intimacy, and that's where it counts.

>>15819

>real intimacy

Only time will tell when that actually happens.

I still get hard from time to time, I think it is just more of a matter of impulse control and maybe my standards. I'm no medical professional so I can't know for sure with good judgement that it is ED or not.

Whenever I did decide to indulge, it would be with an onahole, because using my hand would be pleb tier. However, once you use them, you have to clean them and dry them out properly so they don't grow mold. It was a lot of time spent just so I could feel good for about seven or so seconds.So why even bother.

ED or not, I'm still glad I'm not wasting time looking for the perfect thing to cum to. Unfortunately, that is the only difference I experience in NoFap. I haven't really changed much at all but I place the blame of that on my upbringing rather than quitting an addiction.

It ain't nofap, but something that's helped me stop descending into more and more degenerate and debauched porn was unironically beginning to think of an anime character as my "waifu", or just wife. To think about what she would think about the things I'm doing (whether related to porn or my eating habits, etc).. it helps that the worst stuff that is of high quality involving this particular character are nude pinups (from a now old anime). I know this is a crutch, but I started getting extremely concerned with some of the stuff I was getting off to. It was all "2D" stuff, but involving snuff and amputees, it got real bad. But the temporary course I decided upon has at least curbed that desire. Essentially, if I wanna fap, it has to be to one of those pinups of her. Otherwise, no fapping. Getting down to once a week, I might try for what you guys are going for eventually.

I just came after a three day no-fap (record 31 days) and already regretted it. Pledge today and to at least one week

>>16455

What is wrong with me. Already relapsed. Pledge a week from today

any other self improvement boards?

It's been so so long since I had a REALLY good orgasm and I simply NEEDED it so I just fapped to piss because it really disgusts me and I figured I could use it to force that earth-shattering orgasm. It didn't feel quite as good as I was hoping but it was definitely the best I've had in at least half a year, most of the few orgasms I've had over the past months have been just a little sliver of pleasure lasting only a moment but this one was very good and I'm still riding out the echoes of it.

Moral of the story: I feel like a fucking junkie

>>16512

>Fapped to piss

The fuck are you talking about?

Orgasm are never as fulfilling as we hope it to be, specially if you're fapping. Just get over that idea that you're actually enjoying yourself.

>>16517

>The fuck are you talking about?

How the hell have you never heard of watersports?

why does cumming have to feel so damn good? what can men do against such reckless hate?

I got into nofap pretty recently. I managed to do it for 2 weeks in January and it made me feel better physically which is what motivated me to keep going. Sadly, my streaks never last for more than one week. A major issue I'm having is that when I come home from school and feel stressed out, I lack the willpower to keep myself from looking up porn or doing something productive. I don't have a hard time at all on days off. Any tips on countering this?

>>16579

Its always the bad times that are hardest, just one click away and you can forget all that shit. But the trick is, fapping doesn't really help it, instead it makes it harder to get through the day and suck the energy out of you. Remember that you felt better when you didn't actually do it, and that the craving is just a withdraw response, that will quickly fade away the more you stay away from this.

Why go /nofap/ if you wont go /nofuck/?

Celibacy is well storied in European culture, even Jesus was celibate for his entire life.

I'm obviously not asking for complete celibacy, you should have sex in order to reproduce, however, only procreative sex acts are permitted, and sex is only being allowed for the purposes of procreation, if you do not intend to create a child, you are forbidden from any activities involving your penis aside from pissing.

Now, you can start becoming abstinent now, an even if you are in a romantic relationship you wish to keep, you do not have to give it up, if she is a worthwhile woman who truly loves you, she will respect your wish to no longer make love to her, and will do so without becoming adulterous, there are many things lovers can do with one another, sex is only one, and is at the lowest level of them all - true love is pure, it is not visceral, whores have sex with random strangers, many of whom they despise.

BTW, you should still take care not to become a cuck by tolerating adultery, If she has sex with someone else even once, get rid of her immediately.

You've given up porn, you've given up masturbation, and both have produced great rewards to you for your willpower, now it is time to cut out the last bit of corruption from your life.

The rewards are worth it, I promise.

I reached a new level today, though only several months toward my goal of surpassing one year of no fapping. Many relapses since then have occurred where I have a sexual dream, and give in to my urges. Several times I have woken up at the moment of climax, too late to realize that I had assented to orgasm. In waking life, too, I had edged a few times for the heck of it, but this was rare compared to the number of times I was having vivid dreams of different women. Today was different. The woman I changed to suit my tastes, and we had sex, but I decided to end the dream without climax, and woke up with a profound sense of victory. Though I may have somewhat succumbed to the temptation on offer, I did not plunge into oblivion, and hope only to gain in my powers in such a manner.

My waking life struggle just beigns however, as I am beginning to think along the same lines; that the only valid method of relating sexually to the human species ought to be limited to a relationship inside the confines of marriage, a binding contract. As the Germanic peoples in the Roman historians' accounts, the bond was permanent. I now see that my prior 'dating' and 'flings' were in form an emulation of homsexual relations in that they were, for the most part, hedonistic, and effectively without purpose; barren. My new kink is unprotected, cocreative sex with a wife who will bear my children, the barriers to such sex are much higher than some "chemistry" from a chance encounter at a bar or on the street. Perhaps I'm overthinking it, but I now realize the traps are set against us, and for the benefit of the family i must answer to my own duties as regards proper selection and behavior. It is a true change of paradigm for me, to adopt this schema whereby my energies must be channeled into creating the sort of prosperity and behavior to attract the as-yet-uncorrupted (or redeemably corrupt) to me. I have rejected advances or clear indications of interest now, and only plant to do the same with greater sagacity, until I seize upon the moment and the person who I deem capable of bearing a load in this struggle of life, in the duty of raising a family and forming a resilient whole, not to cleave in this materialist, ephemeral land of no-fault divorce and single motherhood. First, though, I have my projects to attend to. Like securing a dwelling and such.

>>16685

I've been thinking about this idea for a while. There are plenty of studies that show that premarital sex with multiple partners is toxic to marital stability, and I think remaining celibate until marriage with a woman you wish to marry is a great idea. Sex should only happen within the confines of marriage, procreative or not. The only issue I see in pursuing this and sticking with it is finding a woman who is 1) a virgin and 2) who will want to refrain any and all premarital sex and whore-behavior. I shouldn't let that stop me though, if they aren't willing to commit it's not worth it. I'm not a Christfag so I've always been very worried that I will never find a wife who will give me six kids and is a virgin who will remain celibate until marriage

>>16660

You have a problem, motherfucker?

Chink lover little degenarate shit.

What's a good adblocker for blocking porn sites? I want something where I can easily add sites to the block list but removing them is basically impossible. I'm willing to spend money for something like this. (I tried K9 but it wasn't too great). I want something that's not explicitly a porn or content filter, because I use a shared PC and don't want anyone to know the real reason I'm installing it.

>>16796

>What's a good adblocker for blocking porn sites?

The only good one that works is self control.

>>16804

Awww man, I'm all out of that stuff!

This isn't the fucking 60s boomer. You find jobs online

It's been a two weeks since I last fapped. I can confirm that after exactly a week there will be spiking urge but I thought about it as withrawal from drugs. If you have something to do it is easier and very slowly it gets better. I already feel more energetic but I still wish fapping didn't have any negative side effect. Although I think less of sexual stuff, I still like my fetishes better. I wish I could unlike it somehow. The biggest hazard is going out and seeing a lot of women with highly sexual clothing because my imagination kicks in. Ffs

Today a coworker said “Do you smell that? Smells like someone nutted in their pants and didn’t clean themselves.” At first thought, I immediately start assuming that it’s me. In fact, I am FULLY CONVINCED that it is me. I start avoiding people and get really fucking self conscious. I have thoughts like, “What do my coworkers think of me? Is it funking up the whole room? What the fuck have I done? I need to leave.” And so I asked my best friend coworker and he said I don’t smell any different so I’m like wtf. As soon as I get home I start smelling my clothes, my bed, all that paranoid shit. But I didn’t smell anything. And so I thought back and I realized that it might have actually been this very young customer that looked a bit unkempt. I didn’t get a whiff so I’m unsure but I also realized that my coworkers didn’t avoid me before that incident either. Or maybe they were.. thinking Oh god oh fuck

What's this prostate cancer meme about, is it worth worrying about? Gonna start this summer.

>>16906

Well, that's exactly what it is… a meme. Just forget about it, its not true.

>>16896

I'm aware of that funky smell, I used to be pretty depraved in that regards, sleeping with cum in my pants, not cleaning properly, and even somedays where I would edge hard on eroge, I could feel that strong scent in my room, and wondered if other people could smell that as well. There is also a strong scent with females, or mixed when you're locked up having sex, guess that's why people usually shower after. But this is something I guess improves a lot with nofap, not to mention that even the smell is a possible hook to get you horny on PMO again.

But on another subject, I really need the help of you bros, I've failed recently and been having a hard time getting back on track, but that's not what I'm more worried about, but my last fails (and I've lasted from 2 to 4 weeks or more), I was so up over my limit that I had very shameful premature ejaculations, even if blowing a large load. But I felt like not in control at all. This worries me as I still want to find a female companionship, and being so weak in this regard is obviously something that I don't want to, I would feel very susceptible to cumming right away. And even if I were hop in on the semen retention crew, how could I even be able to, being like that, so horny that I could blow a load at the slightest sight of sex.

>>14338

Still keeping it up

going strong.

You are going to make it too lads.

Good luck

I've been attempting nofap for about about three months. Listen up, faggots.

>First month is trial and error ridden

>After first week I feel aggressive and fap on purpose as a result

>Relapse once a week

>Second month is better, get urges, streak lasts for three weeks and feel pathetic after it is ended

>Third month - better

>Wet dreams, urges much more easily suppressed

Now that I can control the urges more easily I am as far from fapping as I have ever been. The thing I've noticed with nofap is that I'm more interested in having a relationship and less interested in fapping/porn. Now I try to work out here in there. Nothing crazy but it is a disciplinary practice, saves time and gives you some pride and you're less of a degenerate, look a little better, have more testosterone + more interest in women.

Today I had a pretty bizarre experience to share. To give some background, I've been into nofap since the beginning of the year, with a lot of trial and error, but getting better ever since. Today would have been exactly 21 days since my last failure, but my longest streak was longer than a month.

But overall I would say I was doing my best this time doing fine, today I just wanted to lazy around, lying naked with the sun on my bed, and got tempted to read some H manga (again, this is my one temptation, but one that was going much better than my previous streaks). There was this one story that made me diamonds, and I started cumming without even touching my dick, just by sheer twitching and pelvic strength (like in kegel exercises), with the initial pleasure with was quickly followed with a lot cum.

Needless to say, this was quite a different experience for me, it felt halfway like an wetdream, between my own control and the other half being my own prostate pushing out excess semen. It didn't have the regular push of a fap, but still quite a relieving release. Of course it wouldn't have happened if I didn't tease my self reading that stuff, so I'm unsure whether to call it a full failure, and I also unsure if its something I should avoid altogether.

Point being, have anyone experienced anything like this? I also don't want to turn into some sort of chronic premature ejaculation guy.

I'm on day 3 rn and I feel so fucking good. Whenever I can escape the porn trap for even a few days it's incredible.

>>17056

>3 days

pfff, its been a week since my last failure and I still feel like crap.

>>17034

Strong pelvic strength should prevent PE, not cause it.

I just added minced garlic to my sausages and eggs this morning. It tasted so good I got a full erection while eating.

>>17085

Not necessarily, I've read also that strong pelvic control helps with controlling ejaculation and even allowing stronger shoots. To be more clear about this, it really felt like a "throbbing penis", and as I'm about similar to this again, it feels like being right on the edge between lack of control (throbbing) and holding it in (flexing).

I know right, what is edging? But this is slightly different, and I feel like its key if I want to know the ways of Karezza and semen retention for good.

There is another thing to note, I think it only comes to this strong level of arousal because I'm still taking maca root, which is a supplement which greatly increases semen production.

This was something that helped when I got boner issues but didn't get rid of the degeneracy yet (in other words, it allowed me to fap away and still be virile). I'm not sure about continuing taking it, but I wanted to finish what I had before it got old.

>>17097

If you're horny enough you can self-induce an orgasm through pelvic exercise, this is well known. I can do it easily. It's much more healthier than touching your dick but it's still something like a relapse.

>>16755

>55 days

>05/14/19

Did you make it?

>>17119

tldr: try mindfulness meditation.

To expand on that: You need to understand what you are, and what you are not.

Basically, you are your Will; the part of you that has thoughts, plans, and ideas beyond what an animal has.

What you are not is your dick, your frustrations, bad moods, or animal urges. These things are only passing conditions that come and go like the wind. You must not identify with transient phenomena.

So what you do is, when you have a sensation, you stop and recognize that there is a sensation without being carried away by it. When it's a powerful urge, you recognize that the urge is powerful, but you stay "seated in the Will" and instead of reacting to the urge, you just watch it pass by, unmoved.

>>17125

This wasn't really informative or entertaining at all. Just the typical ad-hom shitflinging from both sides that pops up in every nofap thread outside of /nofap/. You probably wouldn't have capped it if it wasn't your own post.

You know how you say retarded stuff to yourself like "Hurr imagine her sucking a dick"? I know I do. That's cuckoldry - start saying "Imagine her sucking MY dick". And stop thinking about something so grotesque once you've uncucked yourself, faggot.

I fapped 4 times today, all to lolicon

>>17118

How exactly is it much better than regular fapping?

I can see some difference but in the end it feels just like losing semen, and if porn is required to reach that horny state than its just as bad.

Unfortunately this has become a sort of a new trip to me, and leading me to relapse more often than I should. I'm also experimenting with karezza and semen retention, it mentions a method of holding it in post accidental orgasm, which I'm unsure actually worked. Anyway, if you have anything to share on the subject, is very welcome.
