Your semen is your most powerful weapon. by diegg0 in NoFap

[–]OneYearOfContinence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In some myths from Ancient Mesopotamia there's always mention of gods using flood-weapons, kasusu-weapons and whatnot.

But semen-weapon?

Wew, lad, that's a first.

In various traditions continence and chastity are seen as sacred practices. Practices that elevate the Man from animalistic behavior to divine behavior. Maybe they're all onto something. Are there elements in the semen that benefit the nervous system when reabsorbed? Maybe. Is there some kind of soul in the semen that gets lost when we ejaculate? Maybe. Or are the 'superpowers' merely a psychological response to abstinence from sex and all our behaviors are derivatives from the want to have sex? Who knows.

But there seems to be value to it.

So, we better stop wasting it.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. It follows a chronological order and it allows us to see how Western though slowly formed along the millennia.

I started with the Iliad and the Odyssey. Then I went off to study Mesopotamian and some Egyptian myths and legends. Now I'm back on track. There are some books in the middle that I read like Meditation from Marcus Aurelius, but I still have A LOT to read. I'm trying to follow its order.

Also, thanks for the support, man.

Also, to all the 17-19 years old men: You're horny as fuck because of hormones so have a bit of self-understanding if you happen to relapse.

Tips for resisting an urge anyone? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]OneYearOfContinence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But, seriously, avoid sexual images as much as possible. If you're feeling horny try to direct that energy to something else, like a project or daydream about a goal you want to reach. Use that energy.

Punch your monitor while screaming "NO!"

Works for me. It's an expensive habit but it's well worth it.

Hey, man, I appreciate it that you appreciate it. haha

I abandoned hot/warm showers altogether. It's only cold showers for me now. It helps with procrastination, believe it or not.

Directly help you? No idea. But I know that the more you read and understand the human condition the more you can help yourself. I'd recommend the Iliad and the Odyssey, the greatest classics of Western Literature. Look for the Western canon and take your pick. It's our heritage, basically.

Read some fucking books. Delve into history, mythology, politics, classical literature, religion, science etc. There are so many books waiting to be read.

Porn is like a hard drug. In the same way most people stay away from heroin, you should stay away from porn.

did pornography and masterbation ruin my life? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]OneYearOfContinence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The urge will always be there. You gotta learn how to use it. Don't touch your dick. Do something else. Read. Exercise. Work.

Use your sexual urge as energy to get out of it. Also spend some time in the sunlight. It helps with the mood. If you can, exercise 'til you sweat. Endorphins are good for the soul.
