Why didn't you taken control over your addiction already?
>Currently on day 37.
>Feel motivated towards my goals and purpose more than ever.
>Have urges to create, explore, invent , etc..
>Feel more self-aware of my actions, stopped smoking weed too
>Feel stronger while doing my workouts
Im not here to brag, this is something that everyone should start doing to improve their life for the better.
Seriously START TODAY and you'll thank me for it
Like with most things in life, if it works for other people cool. But I've never had a problem with masturbation and porn. I've actually done nofap for 160 days plus but I disliked how my dick was basically dead. I feel like fapping every so often (maybe every 3-7 days) is healthy, especially without porn. Outright nofap and semen retention seems overkill to me.
Day 31 of NoFap. Day 3 of semen retention (I’ve had 4 wet dreams since I started abstaining from masturbation and porn). Nothing has changed.
I wouldn't say that theres any problem with having a "dead dick", just like in the pic
learn to use your abundant energy to create, invent, explore & etc..
I'd say you'll soon begin to feel it,suddenly youll have urge to fuck for real and youll have to go out into the real world.
besides that you'll have alot of spare energy even after finishing your workouts, thats when having real hobbies and social life are important to have.
>learn to use your abundant energy to create, invent, explore & etc.
Abstaining from masturbation has no impact on my creativity, drive, etc. If you have an addiction sure you'll have more time but that doesn't mean you have to cut fapping out entirely.
>Had a wet dream last night
>Have to reset the counter
I think it's because I stopped doing cold showers for a while. I'm vowing not to ejaculate once in 2019, so I've gotta sort this shit out fast. Any tips? I've already got a rubber band on my left arm that I've been using as discouragement.
>takes around 90 days for effects to really manifest
>" day 31 and I feel nothing hurr durr this is a waste"
You are barely a third of the way. Keep going. You will not regret it.
Bad day today, edged to insta thots on here and interviews with porn stars at the AVN awards. Managed to stop myself before I came. Day 17. So glad I didn't cum even though this was a setback.
Just to clear some things up - isn't semen retention a sure way to prostate problems?
Stay strong brother, remember that masturbating to a screen for a 5 second pleasure isn't worth it for the long term benefits of retention.
prostate cancer from leaving your penis alone is bullshit to lure people back into masturbation+pornography. What they don't inform the public is that constant masturbation actually stresses out your prostate, increasing the chances of prostate cancer.
Don't believe everything society tells you. Sometimes you have to try new things for yourself and see how you feel from personal experiences.
Day 51, gents. Feeling great.
Always remember this. Always. It's never worth it. EVER.
this is retarded. how does the orgasm sap your proteins and minerals and creative lifeforce when you jerk off, but somehow, the same doesn't happen when you dick down the old lady? it magically becomes okay because you share with your wife's feminine spirit? I'm calling BS on that
tfw gave in because of sadness + lonliness
I understand semen retention, but why are you not fapping/watching porn?
>following masonic teachings
enjoy hell buddy
Protip for semen retention:
>Cum in mouth
>swallow
Will do, brother.
so much cope in this thread lmao
stay mad ye lowly semen secreters!
One of the odd things they don't mention often is that you have more creative energy and focus by not fapping. I don't know if it's psychological or what, but during Ramadhan (which is effectively my NoFap), despite not being able to eat I always felt more alert and active compared to when I don't.
I've been having sex on nofap, still counts, right?
sage this thread
do you retards actually believe shit like in OP's pic?
You're good. If you're not jerking the chain then you're fine. Having sex or a wet dream doesn't reset the counter.
I see you there (((Noseberg)))
great post
Yeah, it's fine for NoFap but not for Semen Retention, which is where the real magic happens
shit happens mate, everybody has those sad and depressive days.
I highly suggest you to journal how you feel in such days that make you feel like shit just to be a little self-aware of your emotions
Im sure you already heard of yourbrainonporn.com if not then check it out.
besides that craving and indulging in those porn fantasies really fucks up your mind and your dopamine levels.
What exactly you don't agree upon?
testosterone spikes after a week but returns to normal
all placebo
The completely unbacked occult claims of masturbation's spiritual effects and draining your spirit energy and other shit like that. I don't necessarily think nofap itself is bad, but why do you have to turn it into some retarded magical freemason larp?
If you want an analogy, its like wiccan girls who call themselves witches and draw a circle in some sand and act like they can summon spirits. Or who do fortune telling. You can attempt to deal with psychological issues that way, and it maybe indirectly gets at them, but it's still fucking retarded. And yeah, it's still larping even if you delude yourself too on top of others.
As for "but famous doctors and physicians from the renaissance and shit said it! they're smarter than you!!". They probably did say it, and they probably are smarter than me. On the other hand, Aristotle thought the universe fucking revovled around earth and he was probably smarter than me too. Doesn't mean the universe revolves around the earth bruh.
Will using Cialis hinder my nofap progress? It doesn't work some of the time anyway probably because my arousal is so tied to porn, not real women.
>Why didn't you taken control over your addiction already?
Its hard but I am still trying. Next step for me is complete 4channel/Jow Forums avoidance over the next months.
Yes. And don't call me shirly :^)
Not true. Test levels do rise and fall in cycles, but the greater trend is upward
I have a gf and I get to edge inside her and finally do the biggest fattest nut. Shits cash
on day 8 and beyond test levels go down because it's being absorbed by the body
can someone post the arcanum? i never got around to page 4 but I know one of you has it
So this is just no masturbation right? Sex is still okay ?
Just busted. Want to kms. It so wasn’t worth it. Oh well just got to try again tomorrow
If doing NoFap, yes; if doing semen retention, no.
Mirin breh I just came in the washroom at work on break lol
I get a crazy, physical urge to nut if I don't fap for too long and even trying Mantak Chia's shit doesn't help.
was the same for me, i started about halfway into october and lasted until the last week of november and that first nut was so gratifying i swore off porn altogether. i had a relapse last night where i went onto /gif/ and just perused the threads and i felt no urge to masturbate, sure my dick was hard but i knew it wasn't worth it. i've always had a problem with porn since a young age and that short break was what i needed to get myself back in order. since then been living great and i have noticed others seem to enjoy being around me more and before they gave me kind of shifty looks or at least i was perceiving they were. my anxiety is in check much more even with that simple act of self control for that month. anyone in despair should give it a try at least for a little while.
tl;dr: i used to beat it too much and now i beat it every once in a while
Wet dreams are fine, dude. They dont reset the counter for NoFap. Your body needs to get the nut out not as a sexual satisfaction but as a health maintenance measure.
Im 37 days in of complete NoFap and have had 2 wet dreams. Doesnt stop you bro.
Not just that but what about the chads of the world that are dicking many women? These men aren't always cumming inside of the woman's vagina either.
