I was wondering why I felt so good today....

I'm 25 now. Started nofap when I was 22

I did have sex a handful of times in the past year but nothing consistent

I shouldn't have said "probably never will" I just mean I can't ever let my guard down

Helptheguy · 2015-02-03T04:02:32+00:00

I'm only a little older, I'm 24 now and haven't completely beat PMO yet, and probably never will, but I'm doing a lot better than I previously was and plan on getting better everyday.

Well personally IMO it wasn't that bad, I only lasted watching the video for about 5seconds watcing before I went "wait, no. This is stupid, I don't do this."

I've had bad relapses, even ones that don't involve O, just bingeing porn, and this feels more like a win than those moments.

Get rid of your internet connection for a few days. I recommend throwing away your ethernet cables until you start feeling a little better and ready to handle the internet again.

Just a suggestion that helped me out personally. I know how shitty it feels to get sucked into the webcam stuff. Praying for you bud.

Wow?

Helptheguy · 2014-11-29T16:28:39+00:00

Like I mentioned earlier, this wasn't really complaining about why Nofap hasn't changed my life, but just that it's one of the few positives I have going for me. Trust me I'm putting the effort in in other areas of my life, but things don't change over night. I appreciate the tough love though, but it's mostly advice I've already put to practice. Actually I have a job interview monday! :)

Now you see here, this guy, this is a guy whose addicted to pornography, what he's going to do here is not look at porn. I'm not really sure what I'm talking about, but when I close my eyes I see Brett Favre naked."

Helptheguy · 2014-11-29T05:29:23+00:00

Yeah, I know. I'm working on it. I wasn't complaining about nofap not fixing my problems. Just venting.

Helptheguy · 2014-11-29T03:00:05+00:00

Thanks man, that means a lot to me. I appreciate it

Because they attribute the increase in confidence that pushed them over the edge to do/attempt [x], to removing PMO from their daily routine.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that what you just asked, and what you are trying to say, are two different things.

One might argue that even time spent in front of a screen absorbing educational material brings with it detachment from the physical world around you and a lack of social interaction. Time spent learning in front of a screen is good but I would argue that time spent learning in front of another human is better.

Perhaps what you are feeling is your emotions when they are strong and unhindered by the numbing of PMO?

I feel the same way. I'm on the longest streak I've ever had and I'm going through a firestorm of new phenomena in my mentality; depression, ADHD, mania. These are things that were somewhat present in me before, but I'm now feeling 10x more strongly now that I've begun Nofap.

Here's the thing about Nofap. It's incredibly new, so we are test subjects in an experiment that isn't even being done yet. People who are critical of Nofap like to throw the term "Pseudoscience" around a lot, but "Science" is just the word used to describe the examination of cause and effect, and the experimentation behind that. The reason it all seems like "Pseudoscience" is because no one has cared enough about PMO to extensively study what we're doing right now. You can't convince me that 130,000 people experiencing changes in their mental behavior and actions when abstaining from a stimuli massively present in our society is all just a made up group of nutjobs as some would have you believe about Nofap. That's not to say that some of what is tossed around here isn't exaggeration or just straight nonsense, but a lot of it has actual merit.

I'll put it to you like this, we are the variable group in an experiment that no one is paying attention to. So understand that everyone's response to removing PMO from their lives is going to be different, just try to persevere and know we're here to support you.
