/nofap/ - Fappers Anonymous★

>>1857 (OP)

Wanted to stop being a loser that jerks off to pixels on a computer screen instead of getting laid with real life hot girls.

Wanted to stop feeling tired.

Wanted to be more confident.

Wanted my acne to clear up.

Wanted to get a girlfriend/fuckbuddy and have sex. I'm a bit into the PUA stuff, and have improved my social and girl skills greatly over the past year, but I think NoFap still helps quite a bit.

So I guess loneliness and desire for sex is my greatest motivator. Intellectually and physically, I'm already getting by just fine.

>>1859

I too enjoyed OPs pic. Without reverse image searching it looks to be something from frank loyd wright.

I wanted to break the cycle of never leaving the bedroom out of shame, fap, feel shame, therefore never leaving my room.

I once got into something very disturbing called chikan (subway rape) and when I had to take a subway, I got haunted by the imagery of what I saw in that porn. This has led me to believe porn is just a way to train people to lose their inhibitions and turn people into sex predators. I became 100% anti-porn after that.

The main reason, I don't want to lose my salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Because it makes me feel better.

>>1857 (OP)

By withholding my semen, I will be able to have a godly fap later.

This will be the best birthday fap ever.

>>1859

This is also a nice pic. I'm a sucker for floating cities.

>>1858

Yeah this. I'm 18 and I haven't had a girlfriend yet.

>>1877

I wish I had started stopping this young

>>1869

Fapping after a long nofap streak doesn't really feel very good imo. I mean, yeah, it's intense, but from a standpoint of physical sensation it's more uncomfortable than pleasant.

i started because i wanted the self-improvement because i want a gf, although its worth doing in its own right too. i go to the gym for the same reasons.

the porn addiction stuff is not much of a factor for me. i'm not hurting for hard drive space, i'm ok with my fetishes even the degenerate ones and jerking off doesn't interfere with the rest of my life. admittedly, i am a little addicted

I'm taking 7 classes in my final year of STEM and running a large academic club on campus

I am usually quite good at auditing influences and presences in my life to decide what is benefiting me and what is leeching away my energy and focus

I've 100% eliminated the glucose jew from my life and I eat purely for nutrition, legit /fit/ would be so proud of me ( lifting for 10 years, biochem major, was shitposting on /fit/ before zyzz)

I can cut negative and degenerate people out of my life with ease and I do so often, it's totally necessary, if you have goals you can't have selfish hopeless degenerate leeches clinging to you like drowning sailors beside the shipwreck

I quit vidya and the herbal heeb 6 years ago and never looked back

I live innawoods all summer. Been dating the same girl for 6 years now and one day she will be my waifu, don't waste any time pursuing/engaging in degenerate promiscuous sex.

etc etc etc I'm such a good boy yeah yeah

but fapping was one thing that had me down in a choke hold ever since I realised how to fap back in middle school or whatever. for over a decade, if I went even one day without fapping, that was on par with going a day without eating or a night without sleeping; i.e. it was fucking nuts and almost never happened unless I was insanely busy or in the middle of something epic.

No lie, even in my early 20's I was fapping 10+ times a day on days where I didn't have many obligations. Not only that, but I was a 10th degree blackbelt obsessive edger. I built up my edging ability over about 6 years until honestly as far as I could tell it was unlimited and I could just stroke for hours on end, all day even.

I knew I jerked off too much, but masturbation seemed like something impossible to quit. I had so painfully excised so many other weaknesses from myself but masturbation seemed like shitting in the way that it was impossible to eliminate and was just a bodily human constraint to be worked around. I really knew I did it too much though.

Anyway, I don't know what triggered it just recently but I guess my massive school load just shocked my system like YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE CHANGES OR THIS ISN'T GONNA WORK MOTHERFUCKER. I take adderall as needed, go nights without sleeping, I will sacrifice what I need to sacrifice in order to achieve my goals, but my present situation is just so hardcore I literally broke through my own reality and Morpheus told me it was possible to entirely quit fapping if I took the red pill.

Previous to this my lifelong record had been 5 days, RIGHT NOW I AM ON FUCKING DAY 11 LADS!!! 11 MOTHER FUCKER!!

yourselves and rewire your brain for success.

Using the "block site" chrome extension and making it redirect to this page really did it for me for the first few days, and then it just got easier from there.

See you on the moon anons

good luck with nofap and all your other missions

the first few days I caved and edged a bit but I'm still counting them, fuck you it was hard

the results are blowing my mind, there's no drug you can do that can empower you like nofap. Getting 8 hrs of sleep every night, taking a heroic mushroom dose to meditate on your goals, regularly doing yoga, running every day, getting up before dawn, adderall, caffiene, racetams, reading about meta cognition and analysing your own thought patterns to eliminate inefficiencies, bias and hypocracy, surrounding yourself with extremely motivated and successful positive people…. etc etc etc… NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE AS GOOD AS NO FAP

NO FAP IS THE FINAL REDPILL

even two weeks ago I was lustily staring at yoga pant asses and staring at cleavage and flirting with every girl who approached me because it validated my ego tbh fam, not proud of this

Sexual thoughts are almost gone from my mind honestly. I only see my gf on weekends (not the same uni) and now that I've quit fapping we are having the best sex of all time. It's so satisfying that after a few fucks I just call it quits even though we're in the act and I have a boner still, I'm just so satisfied that I don't even want any more! My dick gets harder than I thought was possible and I am more present to them moment during sex.

Now I can satisfy my natural urges 100% on the weekends, and spend the entire week in my autistic homework laboratory without a sexual thought. It's fucking amazing lads.

My Achilles heel was always that my computer was the main tool I needed to do my work but also the biggest trap because I'd always end up looking up porn. No longer. I could look up porn right now in 10 seconds but I have literally no urge to.

Your brain is very powerful and you are not in full conscious control of it. It will do whatever it has to do in order to get dat sweet dopamine. This is what causes so much trouble as you try to quit fapping, but once you quit your brain will learn to get that dopamine from something else, ideally from self-development and hard work and learning and meaningful accomplishments.

You can fucking do it boys, you can un-cripple yourselves and rewire your brain for success.

good luck with all your missions

see you on the moon

I fapped to something that disturbed me and I have to believe it came about due to over watching/jerking off to porn.

>>1923

We all do. Well most of us, anyway.

Unfortunately, my perfect wife is impossible.

I started nofap because I started getting pain around my preineum and prostate, that happened after fapping/edging 3 times in a single night nonstop, now it hurts like hell, i can't even sit, so I'll hope this will somehow fix it, im at my second day, it's really hard but im getting the hang of it.

>>2062

Ws all have been there.

When i was 14 or 15 i had the same problems. Nightly faps until dick hurts along other things. Now i am 19 and successfully have limited myself to fap every other day. And this is my last year in school, so my goal is to quit fap or limit it to maybe once a month. After i quit school i will move to different city, get a job, crappy flat and possibly a gf. Why not get gf now? Because everyone in my town considers me far too socialy weird, and it will make it into the news that i have a gf. I just want to start a new life, dropping my old shell. And one thing i will drop for sure is fapping.

I started to fap relativly late with 16.

Before that I had my life very good under control and was able to do amazing brain tasks.

With the fapping suddenly I realised that my performance on all level dropped.

When I do no fap after 5days I realise how my abilities improve and I get more confident.

One of the most significant improvements is the pussy magnet ability.

Till I was 16 I was a pussy magnet, ine girl after another wanted to date me, but I had no interest because i did no fap and no pre marital sex. Literally every semester there was at least one girl that had a crush on me and asked me out.

With my fap time I realised that I got less attractive to girls. When I entered nofap after a few weeks the woman are flocking around me again.

Its not that I want to have sex with lots of woman, but this makes finding a suitable partner much easier when you know woman want to be around you.

>>1993

this basically

along with a hard breakup that left me dependent on porn as an outlet for coping

>>1993

This. I've been fapping to hentai since middle school, and before I started doing it to some really weird shit by late high-school. I'm certain I've fapped to jap drawings more than porn. Before I started, I was a relatively cool, happy kid, but I was a lanky, weak, weirdo loser for the longest time after. It started degenerating into some disgusting shit (think children getting murdered) and suddenly decided I needed to change.

I had somehow rationalized all the disgusting things I was into, but now I realize it was all completely immoral and I was a horrible person for it, but also that it was hurting me physically and mentally. it was also due to /pol/

I'm trying to quit for much the same reasons as other anons in this thread, sounds like.

I've come to realize recently that most of the problems in my life that I've been dealing with through my teens until now (23) are most likely due to excessive jerking off to porn. I've had depression which I was medicated for, haven't had a girlfriend since I was 17, I have interests and hobbies but I don't go out to pursue them, and I'm irritable much of the time.

I managed to go about a week without porn, and one day I just crashed into full on depression, zero energy and zero feeling. All I wanted to do was sleep all day.

For now I've decided not to quit cold turkey for this reason. I NEED to function so I can work, and I can't when I'm like that. I've got a doctor's appointment to re-up my antidepressant prescription. I've also decided to quit smoking weed until my birthday next month.

I know I can do this. I already went one week and would have gone longer had I not realized I was going to need some chemical aid. Ideally I wouldn't go back on pills but like I said, I need to work to get paid, and to keep me busy and out of my room, and I can't do that when I'm as bad as I was.

>>2182

Be EXTREMELY careful with those SSRIs. Try to lower the dosage as soon as you can. Otherwise good luck.

I went into no-fap streaks over my teens, and i'm restarting since yesterday. My whole life is changing and i'm feeling so good about this year i reckon it's time. I'll try to cut alcohol too, certainly beer.

>>2185

When I was taking them through my late teens I was on a 20mg daily dose of Celexa. Eventually I weened myself off completely, and the weird withdrawal effects went away completely after a couple months. While I was weening myself off them I decided to go back to using them daily, and after a week I was insanely tense and angry so I quit right away. This time I'm going to ask for 10mg daily, the lowest dose. I'm honestly not really sure how else to beat the fatigue. That's the biggest problem for me. It's like having fucking mono or something.

>>1994

You have to settle as im sure you are not the perfect husband either.

At least having the same goal / ideology is a great start.

>>1857 (OP)

Testicular pain doctor told me to stop for 3 months about 3 years back.

never stopped never went away.

Started to hurt more and more. noticed it felt better not to fap.

im about a year of minimal masturbation and no more back / general groin and leg pain.

>Your girl is cheating on you btw

WHY THE FUCK DO THE DAYS LAST SO LONG

I feel like I am in some time wrap, I cant believe that its only day 10 of nofap. IT feals like its been weeks

Christianity. i became a christian, i couldn't stand fapping i never really knew /nofap/ existed either i just wanted to stop due to being a christian. when i relapsed once i felt like such shit i wanted to shoot myself Failing myself usually does that to me. after a while i gave up nofapping. for a few months. when i got a life i had almost stopped. then one day when i had an extremley strong urge i just. i went to my church

i've been praying and each time i get better and better at resisting it. today i resisted a strong urge. i feel great!

>>2288

GET HOBBIES

>>1987

very motivational

>>2288

Get your ass off and start doing work, at that point you sould have at least some extra energy

I used to fap at least 2 times a day and i was feeling shit all the time without motivation to work or to improve myself.

Now im trying to limit my faps to one weekly and certainly i have more energy, now i can get off the bed more easily and usualy get more shit done at the end of the day. i hope to reboot my brain and then have faps every other week.

>>2182

do NOT take the 'anti-depressant' jew. you might as well kill yourself now if you're gonna do that

I'm not really doing nofap, just nofap November. I just want to exercise my willpower a bit as there isn't too much to do being a NEET.

I do stuff like this all the time. Once it was living on a $10/week food and drink budget, sometimes its complete withdrawal from sugar, some months its no caffeine, lately it's been no soda of any kind, and now it's no fap.

The only reason I picked it was I realized I hadn't gone so much as a week without jerking off since I was 10. It's closer to 2 decades than one without pause. Might be time to try something different.

>>3557

>eating off $10 a week

Were you eating 500G of white rice a day?

>>3577

He was probably fasting. You might not hear much about it, but there actually are benefits from doing it.

>>2118

I honestly worry about guys like you. Nothing wrong with wanting to be monogamous, but the big difference between men and woman is that woman always have options should a relationship not work out, whereas guys are usually at square one because they put all their eggs in one basket.

Not trying to tell you how to live your live, but I think all men should strive to be exceptionally good with woman should a relationship not work out. The game ain't fair so don't play it like it is.

>>2204

anti depressants will kill your boners man its bad stuff

Realized that I wanted to live my life differently six months ago. Never was popular in highschool, never had a gf either and to be frank, I don't really care. I have cut down on most things that I think are vain in my life, for example i've quit drinking, quit parties and now also quit fapping with the result that I now have much more motivation and mental strength than before. This goes along well with my physical training since mens sana in corpore sano.

Not only do I want to become more motivated, but I also have a friend whom I love very much and could help much more if I wasn't an unproductive loser. I'm a bit scared about the change, though; I like being me for the most part, it's just the unproductive part I don't like. I hope I still enjoy loneliness after this.

>>3673

I am a rather lonely person and I can confirm that I still very much revel in my loneliness. Although my urges have sometimes found me wanting to get up and contact women more I still like being alone and about with just myself.

I don't believe in that bullshit that NoFap makes you more attractive to women. I'm doing this for myself. I want to be able to talk to people without being scared shitless, and also I want to be less depressed.

Always saw no-fap but never had enough motivation to start. I started recently, because I was going through some rough times and was taking refugee in fapping a lot, and it got in the way, besides I had almost no willpower. I few weeks back I saw the thing about eroding will power and decided too try no fap. It's been a week and a half and so far I only noticed a bit more energy and productiveness and I my smell has become a lot more "masculine", even know I can smell my balls, and I shower about 2 times a day.

total loser mood swings couldnt get it up

>>1857 (OP)

>Reasons you started nofap

test

>end goal in mind

test

I would like to be more confident and actually have sex once too see what is all that fuss about… also, I'd be lying if I wouldn't admit that cuddling with a girl and acting all romantic/in love has always been a mistery to me.

I'm 37 btw.

>>7438

lol indeed

I hope I can turn into a more seasoned fighter, the arcane powers are truly alluring but sometimes they are a burdain.

There isn't much philosophy behind this. It's objectively a bad behavior and I got addicted to porn and fapping so I wanted to stop. Not doing to well tho. This is my third try now, second day, the longest I was able to go was 10 days. But this time, I plan to go for much longer because I really wanna be free of this pathetic habit.
