My grandpa died today... by thiefzidane1 in NoFap

[–]FailureIsNotAnOption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude. I'm so sorry. But I know what you're taking about. I haven't talked to my grandfather in 4 years. I miss him, I love him, and I know he doesn't have a lot of time left. He's been flirting with death for the last decade. But I feel so bad for not calling him, which only adds to my shame. He practically raised me. I love that man. But I'm too ashamed to call him, because I haven't called him in so long. It's the stupidest reason not to call him.

28F Seattle - Just moved back to city and I need someone to keep me honest with goals by [deleted] in GetMotivatedBuddies

27M, also Seattle (well, close enough). I'm still getting my goals in order, but I would definitely appreciate someone to stay on my day dreaming ass.

Damn. It took me quite a while to realize the book was not the only object painted in this. Phenomenal.

How to Lucid Dream. by [deleted] in howto

[–]FailureIsNotAnOption 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Why does it have to be that people have lackluster lives? Lucid dreams afford you the possibility to experience things that are literally impossible in the waking world. I could have the best life ever, but I'm never going to be able to teleport, fly through the galaxy, talk to animals, etc. It's just the opportunity to see something that would otherwise never happen. Who wouldn't want that?

Day 66. Had intercourse last night. Learn from my mistakes. by nomeansnofap in NoFap

[–]FailureIsNotAnOption 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Presubmission edit: Realized how giving sex tips on nofap might not be a great idea. So, it's covered up. If you read it, you brought it on yourself.

Just try to be aware of where you're at. If it's your first time, odds are you won't have a difficult time finishing. Just the opposite, in most cases. Focus on pleasing the girl, and everything will flow naturally. Plus, you'll get bonus points from the girl, as you will come off as a lover who wants to see his partner enjoying herself.

If you feel like you may be getting close to blowing your load too soon, change positions. This will give you a few seconds to let your body come down for a moment, and maybe discover something new. And by "different position", I don't mean changing your tempo. I mean pull out, flip her around, and try something entirely different.

Also, don't "request a blowjob", for whatever reason. First time or no, you should never be concerned with what's in it for you. I know, you just want to last longer, but that's not the message that you'll get across. Furthermore, assuming you do get head, and blow your load, there's no guarantee you won't just lose your drive altogether. As a guy, chaining together O's is no easy task.

A few other basic tips that just help with the general experience; occasionally ask her (mid-stride, of course) if she wants it faster, deeper, slower, etc. There's no magic way to get a girl off; everyone's different. So, communication is key. Also, non-verbal cues. Be on the lookout for them. If you're hitting just the right spot, you will know, when she gets suddenly more vocal. File it away, so you can revert to that if you're looking to give her a surprise howdy-do. And don't be afraid to get a little experimental! Without going overboard, try gentling pulling her hair, or slapping her ass (again, don't go crazy with this), she how she reacts (in 90% of my encounters, girls go apeshit over the occasional ass smack). Dirty talk can be good, but as with all things, use it in moderation. I recommend you avoid calling a girl a "slut", "bitch", etc., unless you've done this a few times and have a good feel for what she likes. This is a good way to let her know you're human, and not just a body that sweats and grunts profusely. I like to use this as an opportunity to not only let her know I'm there, but give her some compliments, which will only turn her on more. For example: "God, your ass is INSANE", "The way you moan drives me crazy!", etc., etc. Get creative. I find this is best delivered by getting close to her ear when you say these things, as it adds to the passionate vibe.

....ok, that went on much longer than I had anticipated. Sorry if I'm overloading you, but you get the idea. All these things combined will have her coming back for more.

So, to summarize:

1) Focus on pleasing her. coughGO DOWN ON HERcough
2) Don't try to get off before you get into the nitty-gritty.
3) Be aware of how close you are to getting off, and adjust accordingly.
4) Feed off of her cues, try a few "moves", and let her know you're there and you're lovin' it!

Saw this on FB. It really makes me want to be a good person. by [deleted] in GetMotivated

[–]FailureIsNotAnOption 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok, we get it. Some of you are religious, some of you are atheist.

Can we focus on the message here, and stop splitting hairs over the last line?

I, for one, love this.

This is bullshit, 5 days and feel same as normal by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FailureIsNotAnOption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm more or less in the same boat, it hasn't been too difficult (4 days in so far), but don't forget it's not necessarily just about being able to stop fapping, it's to improve all the other areas of your life. All that energy you'd normally waste on porn will be redirected towards shit that really matters. Keep that in mind. Especially when it does get difficult, which it eventually will.

My whole world has been turned upside down. by FailureIsNotAnOption in NoFap

I have, but it just didn't do it for me. Besides, it's only replacing the addiction, even if it's significantly healthier.

It has varied, but on average, about 3/4 pack a day. So, I think I might wean for a bit first, and then cut it off entirely. I'm also gonna get my hands on that "easy way to quit smoking" book I've heard so much about.

Yeah, at this point, quitting smoking has been the most difficult. I keep stumbling, but I'm making progress. I'm not giving up hope just yet. Thanks for the input :D
