Hello friends, reporting in for another week of the weekly asceticism challenge. The challenge is to cut out some of your vices completely for at least one week straight and focus on the important aspects - lifting, spirituality, bulking/cutting, etc. For me, I want to focus on NOPORN, NOFAP, and NO4CHAN. This last week was harder than the week before, but now that I have perspective I think I'll have an easier time conquering these
One of the biggest problems with any of these vices is that your brain will go to great lengths to try to justify them. Your willpower has to be stronger and you have to fight against the temptations. Do it enough and it'll become a habit and a principle. I completely cut out all junk food and eat only clean and have never though twice, but this took at least a year of focus
Whenever you get an urge you have to tell yourself that it is wrong and that it's bad. Then you instantly, and I mean instantly, have to transition to doing something productive, be it cleaning your room, going on a run, meal prepping, anything, because if you don't your mind will start to battle. Help your willpower with something productive
State what you'll try to conquer this week and let's try to be the best
Good luck. I can vouch that no4chan is actually very beneficial. Speaking from personal experience, you don't realize how much time you sink into it until you cut it out. Most of that time isn't productive - it's just shitposting. Additionally, this is a negative cesspool, just look at the replies in the thread. While it's possible to have a good productive discussion, most of the time it's people posting wojack faces on livers with some shitty joke. It sucks for a couple days, but then you just break out of the cycle

>NOPORN, NOFAP, and NO4CHAN the only way I can do this is if I'm in a trip or traveling
I'm way too bored in my hometown and It's almost impossible to stay a week without these

Asceticism is a great challenge, I think I will do some of this this week in preparation for some work things, maybe now I will work on my commissions more too. Thank you for posting this thread OP. Bless.
Best of luck, you'll do good Thanks friend Are you the person who goes to the gym twice a week and drinks a glass of red wine before bed? You're overcoming something bad, of course you're gonna struggle. Don't live in the scale of fun and not fun, but right and not right
You need to masturbate 4-5 times a day for optimal prostate health. This has been confirmed by numerous studies by Goldstein Inc, Finkelstein laboratories and Al Silverberg foundation.
The #1 cause of death of mammals in the wild is prostate cancer. Because most of the animal kingdom only copulate once a year, the stored semen of animals burns holes to the prostate tract of the said animals and in time: cancer forms to those burns.
Semen becomes an extremely poisonous substance in the body after 14 hours of inactivity: this is why 4 times of releasing semen (Porn should be used to release it faster than fantasy) is optimal.
Human males are also the only animals who live longer than most mammals, because we do not die of prostate cancer because we can masturbate in continuous fashion. Remember: no less than 4 times a day, but no more than 8 times a day.

NOFAP is challenging. Like you mention, your brain is fighting against you. And I already lifted today
Decided to cut out alcohol at home two weeks ago. So far doing well, had only half a beer which I bought to use in a stew and didn't want to waste the other half of.

According to masterx or whatever their name is, masturbating and porn is good because it makes males less agressive.
Post the ss guys

Been wasting alot of time, I want to get back on serious lifting but I dont have the drive I once had. Not gonna sweat it tho, I'm gonna do calisthentics and some dumbell exercises to keep active. Havent read any too, I like reading but wtaching stupid tv shows and youtube fucks with my concentration and I really need to cut it. Otherwise noporn has been succesful. I need to find a job tho.
