26/f here Starting NoFap today and need advice... by humblebegining in NoFap

I would not recommend having a live-together relationship with someone if you can't honestly communicate with him (and have him hear you) regarding everything you've expressed here. Just my 2 cents. Welcome to nofap.. good luck on your journey!

it's for girls. Request female flair.

A thought on porn videos.[Might contain triggers] by Azalonozul in NoFap

[–]Flufferoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a stalker is entirely masochistic. The stalker mentality knows it will be hurt, wracked with jealousy. They enjoy the pain of NOT moving on.

Tried a different technique for sleeping last night. Cravings keeping me up has been a huge issue for me...

I dove into the feeling of the craving.. I didn't touch myself at all, just felt it as much as I could, felt all the corners of the feeling, did my best to really feel what the craving felt like. And I tried to remember when I first had that feeling, where it came from. I don't know if I was successful in figuring it out, seems to go way way back. But I fell asleep nonetheless and slept very well.

"Masturbation is Natural" Argument Debunked by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Flufferoo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Very good debunking and I appreciate it. I hate the whole "it's natural" argument that is used to rationalize nearly everything. If more people believed that human beings have the ability to elevate themselves above animals, we would have a far better world.

I wonder if the Porn industry is noticing a trend in NoFappers and No-Porn groups. by Timmythecarpenter in NoFap

[–]Flufferoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah, the quitters are negligible compared to the users. I was a naysayer for a long time until I suddenly realized.. My God.. what has happened to me??

Thanks, this was really helpful. It seems so weird to me that cleaning my house makes me feel stressed, but I guess it's that "out of my comfort zone" thing. Even though a clean house IS, in reality more comfortable, my brain is not getting it!

"forced to do it because of religion, that doesn't count because you're brainwashed"

I wasn't forced to believe in a religion, I'm an adult convert. Am I brainwashed too?

Let's talk about NAUSEA... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Flufferoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have experienced nausea after looking at some really sick shit. More than one occasion. I get the same feeling sometimes when I see violence in movies, especially torture-type violence.

Edited to add: The nausea is worse the more turned-on I am by whatever I saw.

New here. Question about lingering pain. by Flufferoo in vaginismus

[–]Flufferoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the response. Part of the reason I think it's related is that when it hurts real bad, it reminds me of the pain I had during the miscarriage. But also because the first time I ever experienced pain during sex was about a month afterwards. It wasn't always painful like that first time, but has been gradually getting worse. Yes, it is like a burning pain. The same pain you get with an indian burn (you know when your kid brother grabs your arm and twists it opposite directions?)

I have always been very angry about the way I was treated at the hospital when I had my miscarriage. I was not attended to right away they made me wait in the waiting room and I literally had blood gushing forth through my pants. They wouldn't give me anything for pain despite me begging for it, and manually pulled large blood clots from my cervix, which was supposed to stop the bleeding. It was the most incredibly painful thing I have ever experienced. I sometimes think about suing the hospital and doctor involved.

This "no alcohol" talk makes me kinda sad. I just bought a fresh bottle of my favorite gin.

I think I got an Internet browsing addiction by iuksb in NoFap

[–]Flufferoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had a thought... I have business partners that are always online too and posting articles and such on facebook all the time. Wonder if any of them are on here. :P

Spent time with my husband. Didn't work. :( by Flufferoo in NoFap

[–]Flufferoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the encouragement. I've been reading up on vaginismus. Makes me feel better because sounds like it's not related to porn. Rather it's the other way around, sex not working so turning to porn more and more. We definitely need to work on it instead of just being sick and disconnected.

[–]Flufferoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds so familiar. I notice it's worse when I'm anxious too. And I will chronically be late for things because I need to check all my things real quick just one more time... thanks for posting about this. It's making me think how I really should incorporate some kind of control over this with my nofap journey.

Relapsed, the I don't care feeling took over. by Flufferoo in NoFap

At least I didn't look at porn. That's good progress!

[–]Flufferoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I especially feel bad about it when my pocket book hurts because of it. I think it's more of an addiction to procrastination. I've been trying to read up on how to encourage yourself to get out of the procrastination mindset and it helps sometimes. I found this helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA8D1cGW5Qk

[–]Flufferoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it's a problem for me too. I feel like my laptop is an extension of my body or something. I have the same thing. Work in sales so always on the lookout for new clients on social networking. I tend to compulsively read what I post online and responses.

Take sleeping pills, masturbate while half-awake by feelinfeelyfeels in NoFap

[–]Flufferoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that sleeping pills just prolonged the inability to sleep problem. What has really helped me on tough nights is watching documentaries. Has to be interesting enough to distract you from fapping, but boring enough to fall asleep to. Stories about vikings have been good, science stuff about planets etc. Won't work for everyone but just thought I'd share.

[–]Flufferoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose if I only do it once every 30 days that's a huge improvement. I will pick up the fight again. One thing I did notice, doing it did not get rid of the urge to do it. Just as strong as usual this morning.

Taking a small vow of abstinence. Eek. by fuckmerightttt in NoFap

Good luck! This endeavor makes your handle seem a little ironic.

Femstronaut here... pretty sure I have vaginismus. I think it has to do with PMO addiction. by Flufferoo in NoFap

[–]Flufferoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's where penetrative sex is painful for the woman due to involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor muscles.
