OLD THREAD The old one just died but I didn't have a chance to talk in it, so here's a new one.
>Will I break my streak if I have sex? No. >What about wet dreams? No. You can only break your streak by fapping. >Can I still watch porn? Some say yes, others say no. Note that watching porn releases dopamine in the brain and humans are programmed to seek dopamine. It's what causes porn addiction in the first place. To truly nofap, you can't watch porn. >What does PMO stand for? Porn, masturbation, and orgasm. >Why do nofap? Many people report increased confidence, higher energy levels, and more drive to have sex with women. Others report stimulation of hair growth and clearer skin. Some say that it increases testosterone in the long run.
I'm on day 6 bros. Tomorrow I start working and I just joined my new gym today. I'm right on schedule for an energetic workout and a boost for the first day of work tomorrow.
Happy belated birthday my dude. I always saw the wet dreams as a beneficiary side-effect of nofap. They feel great and you know that you have high test, but you do have to clean your sheets afterwards. 15 days was my longest and I broke it because I was moving back home and wouldn't be able to fap for a while so that's how I rationalized it to myself. Is 17 your longest?
Did it like a minute ago Felt bad so I came here Still have an erection

Day 8. Feel like I'm about to explode, which is good, cuz I am (on my way to FWB's place now).
I'm not Chad yet but I'm pretty confident I can get puss once/week until my sex drive dies (28yo boomer here so what, 7 more years maybe?). Feels good man
Wyatt Young
Nofap ain't a cure-all my dude. It's more like a catalyst. It's a boost for improving yourself to the best you can be. There's still gonna be a mental hole to dig yourself out of but I think nofap helps, at the very least by re-programming your brain so you can solicit better feelings from things that aren't jacking off.
Try again my dude. Get back on the bandwagon. U can do et. I have a day counter on my phone to help me see my progress. It's also like a deterrent because I know that I'll have to go into the app and reset my counter and it'll make me feel bad that it's no longer in the double digits.
Good shit my dude. Keep at it. I find that at 2 weeks the benefits get even stronger. 7, 14, 21, 28 days, etc. That's when I feel like I get an "upgrade" so to speak.
Day 37 here. Had a dream that i broke the streak and was really pissed off. Wasn't even a wet dream just like a false memory that I had just fapped. Another week and it will be a pr for me. The brainfog hasn't gone away yet. It has before but then I always cave around the 40-45 day mark. This time I will break through though
Matthew Rivera
day2
i want to ldar
Ian Gutierrez
Good taste. Remember that they're just pixels though.
I'm not even at 2 days. When I broke my streak I was at 10-11. I want the mental clarity back so bad; the edging put me into some sort of fog. Keep at it bros
Last fap on June 13th so right now I'm around day 5 I guess When a lad is budy days just fly by, and im so tired at night got no mood to even read shit on the screen let alone fap. Conclusion: keep yourself buys and get tired through the day
That's one of the reasons why I lift my dude. Gives me a nice dopamine rush and fatigues me so I'm able to sleep in the evening. Once it's part of the routine, it feels essential. Same goes for fapping. Some habits are good, some need to be broken.
Adrian Watson
Also day seven here. 3rd try.
Parker Nguyen
Day 22 here (my longest streak after probably 20 tries or so), staying strong despite browsing world cup /sp/ match threads which are bombarded with both softcore and hardcore porn. Browsing /sp/ during the world cup has made me realize that if I break this streak I'll either have to quit Jow Forums or stop trying. >The brainfog hasn't gone away yet. It has before but then I always cave around the 40-45 day mark It's strange that you cave just when your brainfog goes away, sounds almost contradictory. Stay strong faggot, we're gonna do this.
Fapped twice (no porn) within the last 40 or so days. Once a month ago and once last Monday. Having some wet dreams, but the semen volume released is not as much as when fapping. I have noticed that my foreskin sticks more to my shaft at the innermost part. Also seems like smegma builds up faster. Probably because I'm not pulling it back as much.
Ethan Jackson
How are you guys able to get through the first week. I’d be watching TV on the third day and I’m rubbing my dick on my pants without even realizing it.
Logan Fisher
It will get easier if you remain disciplined and at least somewhat motivated Took me a while but I have had no issues past day 12. Before that i would generally fail on day 4 or 5.
Also wet dreams are similar to failures in that you will be horny for the rest of the day. Like a surprise boss battle day.
When you're grabbing your dick for any other reason besides having a piss or readjusting your sack, then you know what you're doing, and you know what's going to happen. Don't listen to edging-fags, they're just making it worse for themselves. Once you become aware of it, stop it, go work out, meditate, anything to take your mind off it. Watching TV is an activity that can easily make you bored, and with boredom you're absolutely doomed to fail.
Carson Price
He fapped every day of his life.
Luis Cooper
It's hard my dude. I just had to tough it out the whole time and eventually after relapsing like 10 times the first week isn't so bad. Now it's around the late second to third week where I really start to get antsy. I've also been busy af with moving in and finals which are now finished, so that's helped. One thing that helped me was waking up really early, like at 6AM and then hitting the sack around 10. This did 2 things for me. First, there's nothing to do in the mornings except for hit the gym and get swole and eat breakfast and do work. Starting your day with a nice lift and a healthy breakfast really sets the tone for the rest of the day. Second, the early bedtime is much better because I eat dinner around 6 or 7 and then I'm not stuck with many of those in-between dinner and bed hours that will kill you. You know what I'm talking about, those few hours where you're really tired before bed and just want to do something mindless and pleasurable, like watch TV or jack off. But just like most habits it's really a matter of discipline. Recognize the action that is perpetuating the problem and take steps to stop that action.
I've been on and off for about a year and a half now. First I went like 9 months then 3 then 4 more just reset the clock about a week ago. I've been worse since I started I had more time to focus on other things but my personality tanked I became boring and I gained so much insight that my conversation is too introspective and insightful. It reminds people how useless their lives are if they are living the carpe diem philosophy. (Which is most if not all people.)
I'm not driven to have sex with women because most are damaged goods at my age and the ones that aren't are just way too rigid. The best thing that came out of it was quitting cigarettes and weed.
Nathan Anderson
Plus I dropped about 130+ lbs but still I don't feel different within. More depressed really.
Jace Richardson
Day 7, been streaking 2-3 days but really going for it now.
I have so much “clean” energy, like a vitality, as opposed to nervous energy.
Every day my power level increases, but so does the temptation to fap. I am unfortunately in a work situation where I can’t really call a girl up, so I gonna stay strong brehs.
Christopher Turner
So your point is..you're happier as a mindless drone?
Robert Baker
You can do it my dude. It's all in the head.
>“clean” energy I like this. It's a good way to describe a benefits of nofap. Whenever I drink coffee I get energy but I also get a smidge foggy as well. When I nofap, I wake up with more energy and kinda have more endurance when it comes to getting tired throughout the day.
Let me put this into perspective. I began no fap. Stopped smoking. Stopped drinking. Started working out. Doing more jobs. Ended up on the hamster wheel of making money to spend it immediately. Everybody around me changed just because they figured since I was doing better if I act selfish for only a minute they would subconsciously do everything they can to tear me down.
Catcher in the Rye effect happened. I became a slave to the people since the majority of people don't look at life like an RPG and just save money get by with less and don't eat out everyday. Hell I taught myself how to cook just to adapt to not spending money. The better I got the worse they got and I had to separate myself more and more until I realized that it's just as suicidal to isolate yourself as it is to deal with too many people in your circle.
I'm eatching carbs again and I am trying to get back into the groove. I'm close to shaking off this deperession and this is the first time I was ever able to even talk about this. Maybe because its Anonymous but still my point is this; I had to cut myself off from all things that would be considered done for pleasure. Anything that used to give me a shot of dopamine was ripped out of my daily routine even foods since I went keto. All I had left was vidya and hardly had time for that since I was always busy or in the gym.
Charles Thomas
Finally got one week done. I abstained from looking at explicit pictures of women and got into habit of being productive constantly. Now every time I have an urge, I don't even feel like touching my self. Having a wet dream is my goal, until then, I will continue my journey to be a better version of myself.
Owen Bailey
Day 9 Blog Post After resisting a thot on Day 7, I realized that maybe semen retention is the real goal here. I feel like the nofap portion is relatively easy. I convinced myself that pixel jerking is for faggots--done. But what if the main benefits from nofap are mainly a result of the level 3 semen retention? I think my 9 days is already giving me the clarity to see that chasing thot nuts is just a half step above fapping. It's definitely better than porn, but I see this nofap streak as an opportunity to focus on semen retention benefits and just enjoy the extra thot attention along the way, holding out for true dimes that I didn't have the composure to pursue before nofap. >why I lift my dude. Gives me a nice dopamine rush and fatigues me so I'm able to sleep in the evening. Once it's part of the routine, it feels essential. Same goes for fapping. Some habits are good, some need to be broken. Well said. Lifting is essential. Maybe your body is still adjusting to quitting smoking/drinking. Keep grinding, you've made great progress.
Flatlaning doesn't equal low-t, it can come back to bite you in the ass any day in the next weeks, multiple times. >Is saving pics of hot girls I come across on Jow Forums bad? Absofuckinglutely. To porn? No. To imagination of fugging some hot girl you saw at the gym? That's ok. gl
Gabriel Adams
Been doing noporn for a few months while still fapping. Erections pretty mediocre, barely above 80% when i fap, Erections while having sex still not 100% but harder than when fapping. What is going on my dudes?
Thomas Campbell
Sensing a lot of bitterness in your post tbf, as if people around you didn't treat you with the respect that you felt that you deserved, and now that you "showed them" you seem to have a chip on your shoulder. You also can't go around thinking that if you turn into a winner yourself, it makes everyone else into a loser, even though it's true in some ways. It's just that if you start acting that way as well, then eventually you'll be the guy from 'there will be blood' - old, alone, and with a constant paranoia that people around you only want to bring you down, with the latter being a trait that you already seem to have. Or maybe not. Maybe your peers are in fact as shit as you say. It's limited on what I can tell you on an indonese crab farming forum.
Asher Stewart
Broke 40 day streak yesterday. Had a fantasy while about to fall asleep, got so horny that I went to the bathroom and fapped into the toilet bowl. Was over after literally 30 seconds. Came buckets. Fapped two more times that night in bed.
Jackson Reyes
>tfw day 9 >tfw blew an 8 day load into my FWB last night >tfw I can NoFap forever if I keep doing this >tfw you only need secks once/week >tfw getting that much secks is not difficult Stop fapping bois
Forget "streak" autism, you'll just binge when you "relapse" (lol@using recovery-speak for a bodily function).
One nut per week. ONE. You can do it, and you will get busy improving your life if you do. Shifting from hand to puss is doable, BELIEVE
Mason Nelson
I have a long distance GF... I don't think I will anyways but does phone sex count as breaking nofap? >inb4 "she's cheating on you cuck"
Christopher Jenkins
Definitely.
Jayden Nguyen
more I think about it, what's the fucking point? I've got a 4.5 incher fully erect, and it ain't that wide either. picture a typical hot dog, and thats when I'm fully rock hard diamond erect final form mode. and don't give me this bullshit "just go down on her! make her cum with your tongue!", yeah that could be fun but I want to DOMINATE a woman, fuck her hard and make her cum with my dick, and that's just probably never going to happen
I was in one long term relationship and I lucked out because she didn't seem to care. I broke up with her years ago, and I've been terrified of meeting women ever since because they'll get to see my baby dick.
Elijah Rogers
I'm going to a party where this chick is gonna be all over me. I'll be on day 9. How do I stop my boner?
Charles Wright
Real sex doesn't count user. Embrace her.
Christopher Morales
press that shit against her you pussy
Carson Lopez
pretty much the entire point of this nofap thing
Ethan Myers
Whenever I'm on a streak i get a crush on that girl who is dating chad and who i haven't seen in almost a year, what's this form of autism called?
Juan Harris
Anyone know a python script or something that uses google search algorithm to not show images featuring tits, ass and vagene? And also blocks all websites that has anything to do with porn or nudity? And at the same time won’t let you disable?
Dominic Russell
The longest I went Nofap was 3 months when I was in Army basic training. My cum looked gross the first time I shot a load after that long. Doesn't seem healthy to let that stuff sit in your body for that long. Stands to reason you should have to cycle it out.
It wasn't hard to go that long. Getting a boner was basically impossible with that much stress and no time to wank.
Brody Lee
3 days here. Feels good to finally be back on track. Gonna go for at least a month this time.
Hunter Price
I figured out why I always loose, if I have a bad day or something bad happens to me my first reaction is to wallow is self pity which eventually leads to jacking off to pornography.
Also realised during nofap the power of calories, if I don't eat enough I simply don't get horny or have any energy, I know this should be obvious but the concrete effects really opened my mind.
Andrew Gomez
your body has ways of getting rid of it i.e. nightly emissions and re-absorption. Animals don't jerk off normally.
Blake King
>nightly emissions I've never had a wet dream in my life.
Jaxon Price
You're asleep when it happens and until you wake up it will be dry already.
Anthony Kelly
I would defiantly notice if my shorts were full of dry cum.
Angel Butler
>do nofap >start intensely lusting after my mom and seriously contemplating ways I could seduce her before I snap myself out of it
No joke, user. Nofap made me cuck my brother. Now I live life haunted that the truth will ever be revealed. Had to distance myself from family.
Nofap has the potential to ruin your fucking life
Kayden King
Only if you are such a horn dog you literally can't control your own body and actions. The absolute state of men.
Aiden Mitchell
Nofap didnt make you do anything own up to your actions faggot
Aiden Adams
Had I been tapping regularly the thought would never have occurred as a possible reality. So yes, it was because of nofap. Nofap, and a disloyal woman with a weird fetish I assume. It was her that started it, anyway. Nofap made me weak enough to give into it
Quite a few day 9ers in here, I'm on day 9 as well. I'm about to hit the gym right now and I feel like lifting heavy. I usually do on Mondays anyways but I feel more focused as opposed to last Monday which was day 2 of this streak. As a side note, the last few days my balls have been feeling heavier than normal, I kind of like it.
John Wilson
>it's another relapse dream episode >it's a MULTIPLE RELAPSE DREAM IN ONE NIGHT MARATHON What the fuck is this
Depression fucking sucks. You've made a lot of progress. Just focus on making peace with you

Everyday builds and gets easier. You're stronger than this.

>have horrific abdominal pain from a lifetime of antibiotic prescriptions and unrelated nerve damage >go to 4 gastroenterologists and other specialists. Can't do shit for me >gorillian prescriptions did nothing >go to a traditional chinese herbalist >this nasty ass tea actually works >what the fuck >see what the ancient chinese had to say about sex >overindulging in sex or fapping for men can deplete "jing", or fundamental energy. Especially if you're already ill.
I had dismissed nofap as a meme, but it seems these ancient assholes knew what they were doing. Perhaps I should reconsider it. I'd be curious to see if any other ancient cultures held similar views regarding sexual intemperance and health
Angel Lee
No. You're just weak. You did this.
Blake Ramirez
Day 4. Saw tits at a yurop/topless beach and didn't feel anything.
James Kelly
true friends will be happy when good things happen to you. You get to choose your own family. When you're ready seek out some true comrades you can relate to
Mason Johnson
If I'm not mistaken, I think the vikings had some similar views. I think I saw it in some nofap thread a while ago. Somebody plz post about it if you know about it. But if that's true, then it must have been a common view across cultures. If that's the case, there must be some substance to it.
Bentley Howard
I contracted HFMD from my 2yo nephew and now my hands are covered in blisters and my mouth is so full of sores I cannot even eat. Basically got a free pass at nofap for the next-10 days. But it sucks being sick.
Aaron Hill
If you weren't cutting already you are now.
Aaron Russell
>If that's the case, there must be some substance to it. true. By necessity the ancients were far more in tune with their bodies and nature than we are today.
I just looked up what another ancient medicine system, Ayurveda, has to say about it.
>However, over-indulgence in masturbation in combination with unhealthy aspects of our personality can become a cause of increased suffering; over a lifetime masturbation can be a leaky faucet through which our limited Ojas (life force essence), and our mental-emotional and physical resources, can drain.
sounds similar. Though it sounds like there's also perhaps a right way to do it in moderation.
Jonathan Hill
I was 5 days in but now my sexual urges are nonexistent. Which makes sense since my feeding urges are pretty nonexistent too lol.
Joseph James
Last time i made 150 days brehs. It only helps me to get stronger in deadlifts. >but im still incel

hey everyone
Day 1 again. I deleted over 700 gigs of porn after yesterday's misfap

Good job on the deletion. I was thinking of deleting every image and video I have that isn't related to mai waifu. It would clear up a lot of space.
Joseph Bell
pretty much what he said. if you have a FWB you can nofap all year when in the end you always get to empty your shit into her
Logan Murphy
>fap after 5 days >basically feel like I just got off of a train and my life is sitting on the side of the railroad tracks baking in the sun >no motivation for anything anymore
But I just had to do it boys, the discomfort was actually getting pretty high. Getting pissed off at the world around me (i.e., sexual frustration) was getting annoying and I just did what I had to do. Anyone else fool themselves into stopping nofap because of the above?
Xavier Hughes
who is you're waifu?
Nicholas Moore
You are supposed to vent your sexual frustration through lifting and physical hobbies, while staving off boredom with your intellectual hobbies.
