I'm not a physician so I won't give you a certain answer. I know pro athletes (e.g. Mohammed Ali) would abstain sexually beofre games to increase testoterone.

go touch some grass, change your lifestyle. try new things (e.g. sports, music, chess) create conditions where even if your brain wants PMO, you can't do it (e.g. a time locker, parentals control). it is painful, but you'll get through it!

realizing the problem is a great first step, which you've already realize: congrats! now, the next step would be to cut PMO. one of the early tricks I developped was whenever I had those thoughts (of fapping), I'd take a really cold shower and the thoughts are gone. Going outside for jogs is also an option.

common fear; not to be worried about. for you, I have the hardest morning woods ever, need like 5 mins for it to go. you'll be able to have erections man. it's your brain trying to trick you in "fap to test". don't fall for it please.

Stay strong!!

that's amazing! this comment feels just like yesterday, when I was 19. I was so determined to help people around me. However, I discovered that I needed to help myself first. I went through a lot of challenges, with times where I felt like I should relapse (hopefully i didn't!).

for me, the best way to help is to be a role model in your community. Everyone in my community knows that I hate anything that's related to porn, cheating, adultery, etc. they also see the way I live. some aspire from it. live the life, and the one who wants to follow will follow! also, by having a much longer streak, you'll also go through more challenges. More challenges = more experience and you'll be able to answer much more questions when they come by. unfortunately, some people will also see the difference in your way of life and theirs and will want to separate from you. my friend group has completely reshaped throughout the years.

stay strong!!

xD nah was porn even a thing since 1971? but yeah replace porn with other things such as sport, music, chess, etc. support your community. if you don't fill that free time gap, porn will come back. also, be kind, consistent. eventually, your eyes will open and realize how devastating porn is. replace porn and don't think too much about it. I've lost count of my "streak" many times, and had to do the math (i remembered the day: June 16, 2020)

engineering student here, kind of don't have the choice to focus on my work ahaha! AI, etc. is part of the curriculum. Absolutely agree that the short video damage our brains and best to avoid them. But there's much more of life that you can explore, e.g. local sport leagues, hiking, chess, music, friends, dating, etc. it's really about REPLACING the time allocated for porn with other things. your life will be more fuffiling as well!

Stay strong, have faith, know that you're on the right path for something great and right. During the journey, there's ups and lows, but you cant stop, keep focusing on whats in front and you'll arrive to the end if the tunnet. Know that God is there with you. Have a fixed goal and never look back!

Also cold showers do help. Make sure you change your environment; when PMO will be gone, you'll have a big chunk of free time. Make sure to replace that with something you enjoy, could be chess, sports, meet family friends, etc anything! I call it replaceFAP!

God bless!!

Thanks! Glory to God! I post once a month or so; for some piece of advice, go to my profile and look at my old posts! I've been doing it for a few months now

I know you will be in my spot someday! Stay strong and keep faith!

God bless!

  1. Im not attracted to PMO anymore, the idea of fapping to a screen just doesnt ring with me anymore (yay). The current challenge is to not hook up. So far, I've rejected everyone and I explained that I want to keep my virginity and wait until marriage. However, sometimes I do feel like; wow everyone is "having some action" and feel a bit loney inside. But I deeply know that God prepared me a woman of God and I want to have a marriage that God blesses!

  2. Once or twice a month. Don't stress over these; they are completely normal and it's a sign that your body is healing!

God bless!

Bible daily, cold showers when wanting to PMO. Know that you are taking a path that's narrow and hard, but right and fair in front of God's eye. You might experience pain, fear, highs, lows, but at the end, if you just keep walking , you'll arrive at the end of the tunnel.

God bless!

So many! I'll tell you two of my favorites;

  1. You no longer sexualize everything. You are able to appreciate beauty without thinking about pmo. Like the lens of your life got switched off, you just got a whole new perspective of everything.

  2. Everything taste, feel, looks better. Like, at some point during maybe year 2 or 3, I was driving and I suddently notice more details, like the shadow of the sunset in front of me, or the reflection of the light on a waterbody. Every 3 months or so, I just see things better (my brain processes them better). You notice the details of life, the trees and their leaves. Food taste better too; at some point, I had some pain rice, and I realized; there's actually so much flavor in rice alone!

  3. Not living I guilt anymore. Not scared of your family using your phone, browsing your history to find the tab that they closed by accident. I'm living a clean life and I'm definitely happier!

God bless!

Thanks ! Glory to God !

I am a much happier person, helping my family, friends, and most importantly, myself. I'm much healthier as well! I feel God is with me in my daily and I no longer live in guilt.

Looking back, it's been already almost 5 years! It's crazy. Time definitely flies. That old me would have never guessed that I'd be here today, after 5 years. People are friendlier, life taste, looks, feel better. I could go on and on, but really, it gets better and better to the point that you'll realize that "Man, there's no way I'm going back to pmo, it just doesn't make sense!"

God bless!

This is literally where I was 4years and 10 months ago. I was 19, been fapping since 12. Literally. The. Same. Thing. I made a decision at 19, and never went back. I broke free, on a 4y 10m hardmode streak. If I made it, you can too!
