Just finished the sixth day of my new monk mode routine for 2019
No fap, cold showers only, sleeping without a pillow, no sugar, nothing to drink except water and gree tea.
Doing Greyskull LP and Yoga (the 30 day thing from Yoga With Adriene, and she makes no fap extremely difficult), and push-ups throughout the day.
Besides that I'm having 1.5 hour of training mind-related things (meditation, speed reading training, memory training, working on my vocabulary) and 1.5 hour of social-related things (mostly books and videos on social psychology, persuasion, public speaking, etc). I'm also limiting my use of the internet to 2 hours a day.
Not to put you down user but trying to change so many things at once will never go well. Prioritize, start easy and build habits. This is how you make life long changes.
Justin Perez
I tried doing that and it didn't work, so this time I'm going all in.
Asher Mitchell
Yeah it'll get easier when you fucking kill yourself which you should do immediately
people don't actually do this stupid shit, right?
Aaron Taylor
Still gay...
Luke Walker
I agree with this. Youre trying to form too many habits at once. Everybody is different though and if it works for you then stick with it.
And yes it will get easier. I created a daily schedule similar to yours and it fucking sucks at first. Just be discipline and patient. Have faith in your ability to become who you want to be.
Connor Price
What is the point of all this, like, what are you trying to accomplish by depriving yourself of basic comforts?
All you're going to be is angry, this isn't going to make you a stronger/better person
Eli Johnson
enjoy your cortisol levels increasing by a 200% and your heart stroke at 30
the only people who can get away with that are those born in natural enviroments
you were born in occident and became addicted to porn at 13 year old
monks probably never watched porn or never watched tv
once a degenerate always a degenerate, thats the sad life of the white man
Jayden Price
He isnt depriving himself of basic comforts. The only one strange is no pillow but even that could have benefits depending on your body. Everything else he wants to do are productive and helps in many areas of life. I've been doing something similar and it has 100% made me a better and stronger person.
Ryan Mitchell
what are you babbling about?
Ayden Walker
No pillow, cold showers, no fap, those are all stupid and unnecessary things that really have no basis on improving anything in your life
Gavin White
Cold showers have benefits just like hot showers do. As for nofap, experience it for yourself. Theres a huge movement regarding it for a reason. Porn is cancerous and fapping has its downsides also.
Alexander Murphy
What's the point of no fap? I've done no porn for about 3 years now just because I think it's degenerate, but I have doubts that no fap will work miracles in your life...
Still a cool routine OP, you should read into stoicsism
Brody Powell
Add Wim Hof Breathing combined with cold exposure. Find a bar somewhere and train chinups and pullups as well. Or start going to the gym at night and lift weights.
Ethan Lewis
There is a difference between curbing an addiction to porn and doing nofap
Nofap is just what incels do to pretend they are practicing mental toughness
Sebastian Murphy
>fapping has its downsides
name one
Ian Kelly
You become less of a man.
Bentley Cook
I disagree. Porn addiction and nofap go hand in hand. I believe the oversexualization of so many things in the west has fucked up our minds as men and have turned many of us into fools who worship pussy. A huge aspect of nofap is teaching yourself not to worship women just because of her looks. In that regard, nofap does cultivate mental strength.
If you fap too often you drain your energy or life force or whatever the fuck you want to call it. Fapping once every week or two sure, it wont do much harm. All I will say is experience semen retention for a month or two for yourself and come to your own conclusion.
I can't tell if this is a joke or if people actually believe this sort of thing
Nicholas Rivera
Believe whatever you want brother. We men have been discussing it for centuries now. Experience it for yourself before you come to a conclusion.
Zachary Nguyen
Let me clarify something for you
No fap doesn't fix any of your problems, the reality is that you need therapy because you are lonely. Doing things like no fap and then going on the internet and talking about it with strangers like yourself makes you feel like you are part of something which in turn makes you feel less lonely.
The reality is that there is no medical or scientific proof that masturbation is bad for you, just the opposite in fact
What you really need is to get off Jow Forums every once in a while, make some friends, improve your social skills, and then maybe one day find a girl that you like and lose your virginity, only then you'll realize that you're just looking for a way to feel less pathetic every day
I'm not trying to be an asshole, it's just that you are deluding yourself with this stuff
Easton Foster
OP DON'T LISTEN TO THESE IDIOTS !!!!
/fit9k/ is a bunch of fucking loser crabs in a manlet pit. ignore them and keep going. it will not get that much easier desu but YOU will get stronger!
Luis Kelly
>The reality is that there is no medical or scientific proof that masturbation is bad for you, just the opposite in fact
Shill.

Shilling for who

2019 is going to be the year of yoga
James Cooper
^this^
feeling bad for masturbating to horror porn from Jow Forums =/= masturbation is bad
Mason Martin
i live in a windowless basement room with a power cage and a laptop. haven't woken up to sunlight in years. i don't have a bed or furniture besides a bookshelf. theres this pipe going outside through the foundation in my closet where the electrical panel is that floods whenever it rains so i have this funnel setup made out of cut up water bottles and two storage bins. i have to bale out one of the storage bins into the other one and take that one outside and dump it whenever it rains. haven't had a friend in over a year, and even then it was just one guy i would hang out with once every other month
haven't touched a pussy in 3 years. could if i wanted to probably, but i'm too afraid. not of girls or talking to people or anything, but afraid of change
Angel Campbell
>Yoga With Adriene >mfw I will be using this information to do actually Yoga instead of lust her body so >I will learn yoga and I will cuck this tripposter
You can do it, OP. Let me add some recommendations >meditation >Daily philosophy reading >Limit internet usage to 30 minutes a day >No recreational drug usage >Daily hobby of your choice
Also, it's important to have a reason to want to do monk mode. It's easy to relapse into your old lifestyle if you have the thought "wtf am I even doing this for?"
It doesn't necessarily get easier so to speak. You just get better at dealing with the lack of instant gratification. In turn, you will able to find more gradual and rewarding pleasures of life. I wish you the best of luck.
Bentley Brown
Its funny how people get on the offensive when it comes to not fapping or semen retention. Fapping occasionally is not bad for you. But without a doubt many people do it as an escape, with or without porn. And many of these people arent aware or dont want to accept they cant stop masturbating. They try to fill their hollow existence with a little bit of artificial pleasure then quote "scientific" journals to try and justify it. Are there SOME benefits, sure. But how about compared to the benefits of not masturbating? And to experiment for yourself is not difficult. Just dont stroke your dick... Test it for yourself for a month or two and see how you feel.
Joseph Cruz
what benefits of not masturbating are you referring to, still waiting on that
>Sure "SCIENCE" says masturbating is good for you, but what does science know?
>"For the vast majority of men, masturbation is a healthy thing," he says. "I'm usually more concerned about a guy who's stopped masturbating -- which can be a sign of anxiety or health problems -- than a guy who's doing it regularly."
Sound familiar weirdo?
Just admit it, you are an incel
Adrian Smith
Why get so defensive over people who are choosing to not masturbate? I do what I think is best for me, and I determine that through trial and error.
Jonathan Martin
Do you have qualitative evidence to back this up?
John Phillips
Yes. I feel better when I don't masturbate. That's enough for me. What works for me might not work for you, though.
Asher Robinson
So when you do masturbate what does it do to you? Increased depression and anxiety or something?
Jaxson Rivera
Not really anxiety, I just feel like my quality of life is lower. I guess you could call it depression.
Levi Rogers
Okay, so did you ever think that it's maybe not the masturbation, but the structure and discipline?
Like, there is zero medical or scientific evidence supporting these claims
Juan Rogers
>Like, there is zero medical or scientific evidence supporting these claims And?
John Hernandez
I'm not trying to degrade scientific journalism but a few immoral scientists have tainted the profession and now we are obligated to question any "studies" involving a huge business industry. The reason why I put science in quotes is because the studies are being financed by private industries. Do a little research on the history of it. These same scientists once told us cigarettes are no big deal, that soda is fine to drink. Yet when you dig deeper guess who finances the studies? Spoiler alert, a giant corporation trying to force their product down our throats.
And again, I agree that masturbation once every week or two won't do much harm. But don't listen to these idiots that claim something isn't true because nobody hasn't proved it yet. You can fucking test it for yourself.
Dominic Long
>you cant do it goy
Eli Carter
keep trying to cope
Noah Johnson
Its astonishing how many men feel personally attacked when you tell them you are no longer ejaculating with them.
Carson Kelly
You might be right, but like I said, it works for me. Masturbation is a bit of a chore too to be honest. Like most of the time the cleanup required isn't worth the experience.
Lucas Hughes
What is it with chronic fappers and their toxic coping
Julian Baker
Could someone tell me why someone thinks being miserable = somehow attaining happiness
Just about everything here is peak retardation. The entire "no-fap" bullshit, the more loads you blow the more it actually increases your test. Preferably, you're blowing them in a woman obviously.
>no pillow who the fucking do you need to prove anything to? Sleep the way it's most comfortable and you get the most rest.
>grey skull, yoga, push-ups go to the fucking gym >meditation, speed reading training, memory training,
yeah, that's fucking gonna last more than 2 days
Here's a better fucking idea- set out a goal for yourself, the goal of getting into really good shape. Go on fucking amazon, buy "Arnold Schwaranagger Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding." it's actually really good an explains just about every exercise under the sun, form, everything. It's in paperback and cheap. Once you have a good understanding of the expertises you want to do and how you want to split them up, go to the gym.
If you are too fat for gym, get a cheap weight set (not an olympic rack, just a cheap shitty one) on eBay and work with the weights until you are comfortable you know what you are doing. THAT is how you can begin to make a major life change.
If you think that within one day you can just wake up and start "living like a monk," well, good fucking luck but it ain't happening.
Liam Bennett
Why should you be so against a man doing what he wants to with his body? If so and so wants to not masturbate, what does it matter to you? >but there's no scientific evidence it does anything reeeeeeeeeeeee
Then go ahead and masturbate, nobody can stop you. Just stop being such a fag about an anonymous stranger's personal choices about how often he chooses to ejaculate.
Levi Perry

>30 day thing from Yoga With Adriene This is the truth. You will burn out user.
Thomas Nelson
Somehow I still forget that Jow Forums is also kike infested. Thankfully this thread reminded me
Hunter King
I have heard about not sleeping with a pillow can help reduce stress and increase your memory. are there any other benefits I rarely sleep with a pillow.
Connor Foster
it's funny because you can literally dedicate your life to this like you are but she STILL isn't going to sleep with you and there's nothing you can do about that.
Henry White
>muh magical bullshit
Yeah go fuck yourself.
Ian Davis
How, exactly? Do I start growing more x chromosomes? Is sex something that can be quantified? You are either male or female, you dumb shit.
Gavin Price
Not an argument or evidence
Samuel Long
Are you a virgin/sexually active? Pls respond. I have a theory.
Jack Sanders
How are his cortisol levels going to skyrocket? P.S. This is an actual question, I’m just a dumbass trying to learn fitness shit and improve, please don’t take my comment as a joke
Matthew Williams
as long as you get up everytime you fall down you can make it I guess
how come distortion or making it minimalistic don't harm the merchant?

What's your body weight/calisthenics training? I need to find a good one because it's way too cold to use my home gym

What's the breakdown of your day? Like hour by hour what are you doing?
Michael Peterson
That's not very clear at all. All this futile "aw muh self help" stuff is eaten by desperate virgins. Especially the ones with no point to them other than discomfort. Dumb NEETs fall for no pillow, no fap, no hot water BS but can't control tgeir diet, don't know how to cook, don't live on their own, can't socialize, can't handle a budget, if they even earn their own money. How about working on that first instead, champ?
Carson Lopez
And when pressed for a reason to do this, it's always some mystical bullshit or some other bullshit equally lacking in substance.
I just hate it when people are gullible and get roped up in nonsense. Nofap and cold shower proponents always sound like flat earthers.
Tyler Reyes
He's invincible and immune to everything but gas
Andrew Gray
This is loser talk, the advice from a man with zero discipline and willpower. Just ignore him, OP.
Joseph Young
>t. low test incels who will never achieve anything
Asher Bennett
>eewww what's the point of being UNCOMFORTABLE So many retards ITT. Can't you guys see you sound exactly like the potato-shapo, vice-reading people who think that working out at all is a shallow, obsessive endeavor? There's no "why" needed when the object is to improve yourself and cultivate self-discipline, those are ends in themselves.
And you need to quit projecting. You sound like a dude that decided to lift to see if some chick would finally bang him, and when you see a person trying to improve themselves you assume the same sexual pathology as yours is operating there. And we can all tell you're an incel btw.
>>If you really want to train your brain, learn to use a soroban nobody has found a way to increase fluid intelligence yet through training. even just improving memory doesn't seem impossible. doesn't matter if you're learning chess, using a soroban, doing memory exercises, or whatever, it'll just make you good at that specific task. it won't carry over to other things.
Owen Sanchez
God Speed OP. I will try something similar. I hope I can slowly build up to your high standard!
Lincoln Roberts
Truth.
What is funny is the reaction the post you are replying to get. Its funny how offensive people get when they get to hear the real truth about their problems.
Guys, the reason your are miserable is not because you masturbate to porn, its that you are fucking lonely. And that is why you masturbate so much to begin with.
