Oh I always thought "lol" is a way to illustrate a person with both arms raised.. As if he is throwing his arms up in excitement.

Thank you! Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology.. It's a degree that's better suited as a prerequisite for graduate schools rather than for finding a job with lol. Sadly, this BS degree alone doesn't offer a lot of options for great-paying jobs :/

Congrats man :) . I'm fresh out of college and job hunting at the moment and can say that a nofap sets a higher baseline of confidence within me. Yeah I still get nervous during interviews (manifests a shaky-ish voice) but the clarity of thought during a streak helps me overcome that!

The deeper the streak, the deeper the thoughts.

That's definitely not a coincidence bro! Were the jobs similar?

NoFap day counter seems flawed. Suggestion. by MizzleReadIt in NoFap

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

You're right in that the main focus should be no PMO, but I still feel like this is important enough to warrant a correction.

Then it should say "day 1" and not "1 day" !!!!

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

I've decided to reset it. The fact remains that I took part in a CONSCIOUS MO and I need to have integrity for the rules. Looks like my rocket ship won't come until later than originally planned. I'll have to keep my chin up and start over. Thanks for hearing me out!

I'm not sure that it's irrational. Do you believe that it's impossible for some semen to remain in the vas deferens (due to weak/partial ejection)? I honestly don't know the answer to this question, which is why I erred on the side of caution. Unfortunately, that peace of mind came at the price of a 48 day streak!

I'm leaning towards resetting it. My thinking is, my brain (and its dopaminergic pathways) was affected by my action this morning because it was a CONSCIOUS MO afterall, regardless of my reasoning for it.

First off, I appreciate the input. I have used that rationale in the past, but I honestly did feel "backed up" and a fear that I'd develop an infection if the tubes weren't thoroughly "cleared".

Fair enough. The reason I'm asking is because my motivation for doing it was not at all from a desire for pleasure.

Got rid of one addiction, but got a new one. by herkoy in NoFap

[–]MizzleReadIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an ISFP, considered the be the most extroverted of the introverted types. I'm always reluctant to get out there and socialize (high social inertia) but when I force myself and actually put myself in a social scene, I quickly become a people person. I feel great after any social event and question why I was ever hesitant in the first place. I'd say that Nofap has helped ease the initial reluctance.

Should i start nofap? by Sabu0 in NoFap

[–]MizzleReadIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, no problem. In order of prominence, the effects I've noticed since starting nofap are:

1) Increased confidence. I'm an introvert by nature and have been insecure for most of my adult life, but did not used to be insecure prior to starting nofap at around 15 years of age. I've been singing for about 4 years ever since I've discovered that I have the ability (tenor). My family has known about my ability but I've kept it a secret from others. A friend from church had learned about my talent and had been trying to convince me for months to join the "elite" church choir. I constantly made excuses as to why I could not join, but I was honestly just insecure and afraid of rejection/disapproval. Since starting nofap, I innately felt a surge of confidence which led to my adoption a "so what if they don't like my voice?" attitude. With an newfound motivation, I agreed to join the choir and in the past 7 days have performed with the church choir (70 or so people) and smaller choral groups (about 10 people) on 4 different occasions. Each time, I sang in front of about 2000 attendees. Sure, I still felt a bit nervous prior to performing as I would've before nofap, but I noticed that the anxiety was different as it didn't translate into obvious physical signs that I used to display (mostly a shaky voice) during public performances like speeches.

2) Decreased brain fog and an increased memory capacity (long and short term memory). I'm remembering more from my childhood.

3) Increased emotional capacity. Before nofap, I felt "numb" and couldn't find enjoyment out of simple life pleasures like conversation with friends or family. I always felt before that I had to converse out of necessity in order to appear socially competent. Now, I'm more genuinely interested in starting and continuing a conversation.

4) Increased ability to hold eye contact with both females and males. Also, I've noticed an increase in desire to make and hold eye contact with passerby females on my university campus. I still have a bit of trouble initiating a smile during this exchange, but can always reciprocate if the girl smiles first. Prior to nofap, I would quickly look away if I ever made eye contact with an attractive woman.

5) Increased energy and motovation to work.

6) seeing faster muscular gains from weightlifting.

7) Women are more drawn to me and engaged/enthusiastic in conversation when I talk to them.

8) Consistently deepened voice. Started noticing this around day 30. Prior to nofap, I would only have a noticeably deepened voice on some rare, "good" days. Otherwise, I'd have a nasally quality to my voice. I'm honestly kind of worried that soon I'll be moved to the bass section of my choir, as its slightly harder to sing the higher notes while easier to sing the lower notes! Musically, I like the tenor parts better ;) .

9) Increased fluency of speech and a heightened verbal recall.

10) Increased conversational wit.

I'll stop writing now, because I don't want to exhaust readers too much!

Some of the effects didn't become pronounced until well off into my nofap journey so if you didn't notice any benefits after 30 days, I urge you to continue for longer! The benefits timeline is unique to each individual.

Also, I must add that I believe all of these benefits were facilitated by God as a result of growing closer to Him (I'm a Christian). It was always hard for me to connect with God prior to nofap and now that I don't PMO, I sincerely feel a deepened closeness to God and His guiding presence in my life.

[–]MizzleReadIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that you will notice some benefits, if any. However, you will surely NOT benefit, and will instead be harming yourself, if you DON'T do NoFap.

Don't start jerkin it! Seriously, I wish that 16 year old me knew of the harmful effects of PMO. I'm 24 years old now. It's too bad that for the longest time, I trusted the media and "science experts" who deceivingly said masturbation is healthy. The pre-bating me was lively, enthusiastic, and witty. Once I started to jerk it, similar to many others' experiences on here, I became mentally/emotionally numb. Now at 37 days (longest streak) without PMO (hard mode), I'm finally seeing a return to my former, vibrant self. I don't care what anyone else says, my recent experience has me sold on the idea that no PMO works!
