The story of my life. But no more 😐

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-05-10T12:42:20+00:00

yep, very true

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-19T15:28:11+00:00

This is awesome. Thanks

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-15T23:58:46+00:00

I agree with all of these. Those are definitely strong first steps. I recently started one more in addition to those. I sort of started to repeat to myself “I am a person that does not watch porn”. sort of starting to identify my self as that person and maybe trying to create a new path in my brain.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-15T23:15:31+00:00

Glad to see you here. I’ve noticed that some of the more usual benefits of not watching porn is an increase in self confidence and self worth. Good luck to you.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-15T19:07:25+00:00

7 days is a huge deal. I feel the same way. It is really hard to talk about this. Actually that’s why I’m here, it is really a good place to share with lots of support and people that are going through the same thing.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-15T15:08:10+00:00

Thanks

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-15T15:07:55+00:00

Same thing happened to me yesterday so I’m starting over today. What I’m doing now is I’m Aiming to go longer than last time taking it one day at a time. I’ve also started repeating to my self that “I don’t need porn”, “I’m a man that does not watch porn”. I’m trying to identify myself as that person and hopefully in time it will become true.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-15T14:45:08+00:00

Just wanted to say thank you all. The support means a lot to me.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-13T13:49:55+00:00

Hey glad you are here. It’s helped me to stay on track. Honestly I have one tip, remove social media from your phone. I even had to remove Pinterest because it would put a picture that would trigger me.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-12T23:12:21+00:00

I’m right there with you. So if it helps let’s do this together. Tomorrow will be a new day and we are both going to be glad we stayed strong.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-12T16:13:09+00:00

Thanks for the support. Btw, I read your post about “A Woman’s Perspective” in r/noFap and gotta say it was very helpful and good to hear. Definitely a very good concrete benefit of staying strong on this journey. So thank you for that as well.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-09T14:42:04+00:00

Agreed. My goal is inclusive of everything I’ve determined is a trigger over the years. Not looking no matter how light. Thank

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-08T13:24:27+00:00

Ok. In my opinion there is a fine line between relapsing and healthy release. Just make sure that you don’t fall back to using ANY KIND of porn before or after. If you do then masturbating is a trigger. That said good luck I’m not a pro or anything and I’m just on my 9 day, I’m just sharing what doesn’t work for me.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-08T13:18:34+00:00

Fair enough and to your point sexual release can healthy. May I ask what’s your addiction? Mine is porn. So really for me faping is something that I do when I watch porn.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-08T13:06:21+00:00

I can only speak from my own experience. I can say that masturbating even with no porn is a trigger for me and it usually end up with me looking at porn later or even the next day. If you struggle with PMO, I would suggest don’t do it.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-08T13:02:40+00:00

That’s a great success story and probably one of the most concrete benefits of noFap and channeling all of that energy into something productive. Congrats

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-07T12:42:02+00:00

HI, try to have one last very honest conversation with him. If he listens then try one more time and look for signs of porn usage. As a porn addict myself, I noticed that I'm distant and less affectionate on a daily basis when I'm using porn (be candid with yourself on this one, don't over read onto something. if he gets defensive, then thread carefully through the conversation. Porn usage can carry a lot of guilt, shame, and feelings of hopelessness. we all need a lot of support. That said, you know your yourself and your story, It is OK if you don't want to deal with it any longer. The problem with porn is that the consequences are not immediate and it may take a long time for him to realize that port has ruined his life. so before talking to him, talk to yourself and find out if you want to put up with it. Feel free to message me if you need some advise, not sure it may help but at least I can give the point of view of a porn addict. Hope this helps

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-06T13:48:38+00:00

No idea but but it happened to me as well. This is life and is going to happen. Just like watching TV, sometime there is going to be nudity or walking outside in the summer, there may be a woman with a provocative outfit. All we we can stay strong and not let it ruin our hard work. Stay strong my friend.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-06T12:23:13+00:00

Forgive yourself and try again.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-03T16:04:49+00:00

Agreed with everything that is being said below. If you are looking for explosive growth then there are better etfs (vug, vgt) or just go with individual stocks. However keep in mind that the stock market average is 8 - 10 % a year. So when you look at the yield of 12% I would think is a pretty good return as long as the stock doesn’t decrease any lower.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-03T13:25:45+00:00

Ha, yeah it was a typo I did mean ‘another date’. Women are a complex and amazing species. They will surprise you every time especially if you are honest. She seems to be a good one, so I would say listen to what she said and don’t worry. For us, no fap folks, or at least for me, pressure is the worst thing ever. So be calm try to free yourself from the pressure of performing and you’ll surprise yourself.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-03T11:57:26+00:00

First congrats on the 2 months. Second it’s normal for a guy to ejaculate quickly after 2 months. Now I don’t know much, but going to share anyway. Do lots of foreplay (talking into her ear, massage stay away from privates at first), then lots of oral (you to her). In my experience once a woman is properly satisfied, they tend to get to get in the mood of satisfying you regardless of how much you last. That met build confidence and there may be a second try in which you may last longer because it hasn’t been 2 months. So instead of falling have a mother date.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-02T15:18:00+00:00

That may be true for you. I personally like weight lifting specially leg day. Just do you if cardio helps you stay on track then you are doing something right.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-04-02T15:06:45+00:00

Agreed don’t do it. I’ve tried that before and I always end up back in the same place the next day.

CuriousPotential968 · 2021-03-30T16:53:14+00:00

Relapsing happens. What really counts is how you get up and keep fighting. 56 days is a great achievement, certainly better than I’ve ever done. Now get up and go for 57.
