Hello /nofap/!
After a few minutes of browsing this board I have found a desire to go on a streak. Background:
Best streaks:
82
54
31
28
And a few stray weeks here and there.
I've almost completely removed porn from my life, the only time I see it is the result of browsing chans. Since cutting porn consumption slowly down to zero I can say that it coincides with a more successful life, but it is just one tool among many.
All of my streaks except the 84 one have ended in drug level withdrawal effects, where I am almost incapable of being productive. I'm mentally unhinged and anxious, my mind is assaulted by the irrational want to fap, and eventually I cave only to realize how retarded I was being after cumming.
Since my last streak ended in that fashion I've been averaging maybe 7 to 11 faps a week (all no porn). I will take a different approach this time, a long game style. Instead of cold turkey I will build up over time.
e.g.
>day 1 FAP
>day 2 NF
>day 3 FAP
>day 4 NF
>day 5 NF
>day 6 FAP
>day 7 NF
>day 8 NF
>day 9 NF
>day 10 FAP
>day 11 NF
>day 12 NF
>day 13 NF
>day 14 NF
>day 15 FAP
>etc.
This is something I've never tried before and I believe it will help wean my body, mind, & spirit off the fapping vice. I'm hardly revolutionary with this thought as I've seen in mentioned before many times.
I'm not doing this for the commonly supposed gains as I've never experienced those (better social interaction, deeper voice, more alpha, stronger in the gym).
What I am interested in is the discipline and self control aspect. As well as the ability to be an elitist on /fringe/ and laugh at mundanes stuck in the fap loop jk

Interesting. Did you have a withdrawal phase during the 82 day streak, and you just powered through it?

Actually I did not and I attribute this to work. I had just started a new job after being laid off for three months and it drained me so much that I had no energy to fap anyway, so it required far less willpower to resist than you'd expect for a count that high.
I've never succeeded in powering through a true withdrawal phase. This whole withdrawal process is what I hope to eliminate with my proposed method. It will be different this time around since I have eliminated porn consumption. I believe that plays a role into the desire to fap. I recall often coveting porn more than the actual fap session.

No I mean that I lose control of my senses. For me it's like there's a self created fap demon and when it starts dying from lack of attention it starts hitting me with its full arsenal to stave off its annihilation.
I once sat in my house for a week without leaving or doing anything. I just remember it being very hazy and spending almost all my time sitting in my chair resisting the urge. I've been working out consistently for 3 years and I didn't do anything that whole week which is very out of character. I also didn't eat much, nor did I do anything productive such as reading, meditation, etc. I just sat there wrapped in a blanket (winter) and fought my mind. Eventually I lost.
That was the worst of it, but I experience those effects every time I get into a 2 week + streak. It's a building up of anxiety, an increase in reckless thoughts, and an unintentional neglect of my daily tasks.
Every time I break a streak I think to myself "why the fuck have I been so retarded lately? I need to do this, this and this" and then I'll resume my normal life.
Despite this sounding like an argument against no fap, I do believe that the mastery at the end of tunnel is reserved for the strong and I intend to reach it. Often I get waylaid in this tunnel and stumble into the rocks and sustain a concussion but I will emerge on the other side one day.

I know I don't believe in them either.
Update
Moving along with my plan as stated. Still in easy mode, so it's nothing to brag about.
So far:
Day 1 NF
Day 2 F
Day 3 NF
Day 4 NF
Day 5 F
I will post upon completing phase 3.
Also
I recently discovered this through a poster on fringe : http://www.merlinworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2002
Basically programming yourself subconsciously with auto suggestion but following a format. Think Brave New World because you're recording the statements and then playing it on repeat during your sleep. I'm just going to use my phone and then tape the ear buds to the wall behind my bed and set the volume to just barely audible. Perhaps some of you will find this useful. You cycle through statements every 10 days, so on my second round I'll make one for No Fap, which will line up perfectly with the difficulty increase I'll be experiencing then.

So far so good, haven't felt any loss of control or withdrawals. I actually forget I'm doing nofap for the most part.
Noticing a difference in my perception towards women. More 'hungry' for them. I usually visualize a mouth made of golden mist coming off my body and engulfing them. These type of thoughts are normal on nofap for me. I'm more sensitive towards them as well, just the other day I could feel the warmth of this woman's gaze penetrating me and surveying my whole body. It was somewhat intense, but she was too old for my taste.
I'm liking this methodical approach towards NoFap and if I'm able to secure a 100 day streak eventually, I will recommend it as a worthy option to going cold turkey.
Fapping can probably be cut cold turkey easier than porn but since the two are so often intertwined, I think it's short sighted that they don't recommend weaning yourself off the porn. Every streak I broke (excluding this current experiment) has been to satiate my 'need' for pornography. It was never the pleasure of cumming, but the pleasure of watching porn.

The first day after fapping is the hardest as far as urges, but after that momentum starts building.
Really happy about doing this, it feels good to be training my mind to become more disciplined.

A few urges, but the 6 days went by quick. I'll be going to school for 8 weeks starting Monday so that will assist in keeping these streaks rolling.
I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but it would be awesome to rack up some fat streaks as motivation for future nofap lurkers. Right now I think it's just me and one other guy continually updating.

Alright another update here. I'm about to complete day 6 and I'm trashing my idea completely. I just went through 5 days of lust dominating my thoughts and daily existence. I've been responding to craigslist ads every day, made a tinder, made a pof account, and have been talking to girls at school. It all happened so fast and I'm only now starting to take back control. This is basically the 'withdrawal' effects I mentioned in the OP. So the good news is that for the first time ever I made it through a withdrawal phase without even coming close to masturbation. The bad news is that I couldn't control my lust and basically have been unproductive as fuck the last 5 days!
I know that if I masturbate tomorrow it will restart this cycle like the last two times I did, so I would just rather knock out my best possible streak. I think I'll go pretty deep this time, because I'm done with porn and at the rate I'm going I should acquire a girl pretty soon here. Looking back I wish I had never found porn, I could have pursued the opposite sex from a natural perspective and not just to conform to social norms.
I'll probably keep updating every 5-10 days because coming here keeps me accountable.

>Try to do nofap and stop drinking coffee
>3 days later I have a wet-dream so fucking powerful that it completely soaked my underwear and made me realize how stressed I am.
My "record" is 13 days, and every time I make the mistake of edging to let a little bit out to stop the pain.
I can't even do nofap anymore due to having a testicular torsion scare a while back.
Good luck to everyone else though.

Boys I'm day 7 where that supposed test increase occurs and I'm feeling something. I've been dancing for the last hour and I feel incredible. This is a feeling I've had in the past, it's like a surge of masculine energy that turns you primal. It's something I haven't felt in over a year and it's beautiful. I used to get this all the time. I can feel every muscle in my body, it's like I'm a tightly wound spring waiting to explode.
Chatted with more girls today as well, felt more 'dominant'. There was a couple times where I could feel the magnetic pull of this girl walking by but I couldn't call her over because this guy was talking to me. It's not that women sense something in me different, it's that I'm different.

Lads I fucked up and broke my 9 day streak but that's okay because I was losing my fucking mind.
I was super close to attending an orgy and/or fucking some whore while we're both on coke. Some asain wanted me to fuck him and his gf but obviously the faggotry is too much and even if it was a tag team 3some I would have rejected cause racemixing. I was also browsing prostitutes and I had a desire to lurk downtown for drugs and easy sluts. I have been neglecting my studies (of which I only have 7 weeks of condensed material left so this is detrimental) and missing workouts. My water intake and daily macros have not been being hit and my meditation sessions have been chintzy. When I came yesterday (which btw I felt like I was possessed because I could hardly control my body and it happened so fast and I came twice in 30 seconds). So yeah when I came yesterday I didn't feel regret, I actually didn't feel different until I woke up this morning and I was filled with the familiar drive to be productive and get shit done, uncaring for female attention.
This isn't nofap's fault though. This just exposes that I have some severe character issues regarding lust and my control over myself. This is something that needs to be rooted out and destroyed, because mastery over self is essential to my success. I can't just be masturbating because it's a drug that takes away my animalistic desires. No, I need to rein this inner beast in and dominate it so much that it's happy to be chained. So my goal moving forward is 10 days.

I haven't fapped in 2 weeks and I've just been sitting here. Doing homework and consuming media as always. Feels absolutely the same. Used to fap at least once a day.

Sorry to bust your scientific chops, but I sometimes go weeks without fapping. Sometimes I fap daily. The feeling is the same regardless.
You're just using it as a scapegoat, I think.
No other addictions to speak of. Used to smoke tobacco, drink sodas, and smoke pot.
Good job on not fapping though, I guess.

Relapsed once so far. (8 day streak) Days feel goddamn long now and I've replaced bad habits with productivity. Full control is an amazing feeling. I also find that going to the gym can replace some of what's missing. Keeping my addiction under control was the first major step.
I'll try to ride through November and as long as I can go after December, but I'm not entirely convinced on long-term nofap.
PS: I live in a shithole, acquiring gf isn't possible for another 2 months. So actually, my sex addiction isn't my worst problem. Sorry if my sentiment isn't helping /nofap/

It was incredibly hard at first. Like kicking drug addiction. I failed for probably 3 years before I finally reset my body. I believe I started in 2013 and it was not until mid 2016 that I had gone deep on a streak without coming close to relapse. I remember going 270ish days and then in a moment of impulse, opening 10 tabs of porn and jerking off, lasting maybe 40 seconds and cumming all over my floor.
In that post orgasmic moment I realized how far I had come and haven't failed myself since.
I've found the main benefits to be as follows:
>True, genuine desire to breed/sleep with a woman
>able to enjoy the sexual experience more deeply
>greater appreciation of scents and subtleties like the feel of your woman's hair gliding across your skin
>give off better pheromones.
>naturally more dominant and entitled to every piece of pussy that walks by me
>at least that's how it feels in my mind, whereas before this was not the case
>confidence in your own discipline and will power which leads to greater self belief in other areas of life
>feel "cleaner" on an energetic level
>higher standard for women
To be as conscise as possible
>Self mastery/discipline
>Raises SMV
>Increases health
