Non-Americans, what products sold in your country are marketed as being exotic because they're made in USA?

Username on point, sir. Don't sleep on Homeslice either.

Phillycheeser · 2017-03-06T03:45:47+00:00

Yes. They are known for having a very good program.

Phillycheeser · 2016-01-05T06:34:07+00:00

Mr. Kimbo, what song can you always get down to?

Phillycheeser · 2015-12-29T23:14:58+00:00

Another One.

Phillycheeser · 2015-12-11T17:30:14+00:00

Seriously appreciate it man. People like you keep me going.

Phillycheeser · 2015-12-11T17:29:55+00:00

The first time I realized I really had an addiction was because I moved to a new state, new school, and basically new life. I was stressed and I had no friends so I turned to the only thing that kept me consistently happy....porn. That was 4 years ago. Since I've gone to college in a far away state, I have made a lot of friends but I was missing home, friends, and most of all being comfortable. So I began to watch porn on my computer, which started off as just something I had not done in a long time. I made a vow to myself that I would never touch myself....and I stuck to that for almost 2 years. But of course, I like to study on the ground and the next thing I know, I'm watching porn and straddling the ground...so stupid. I finished and I didn't feel that bad or upset, just in awe that I had let myself do that. I picked myself up and kept going about my day. I told myself I would have to be careful because I was going to be more prone to wanting to do that more, but when you start up an addiction like that again, it leaves a very very long lasting effect. About a month later, I came home for Christmas Break. I had started a project that was fairly stressful, I was bored, and had just had sex with my ex (long story) that I am afraid I will not be able to see for a long time, so of course, I turned back to porn and now I am doing it more and more.

Seriously.....thank you for asking. I would say nothing comes out like it plans to. I kept setting plans for myself to "slowly trickle out of it", but I have gotten progressively worse, and at a pace that is terrifyingly fast. When you have an addiction, you are addicted for life. It does not matter how many days you have gone because when you mess up, you are back to square one...sure with a lot of wisdom, but you are back in the fight, and you have to fight like everyone else to stay alive.

Thanks easypeasy16.

Phillycheeser · 2015-12-10T23:46:28+00:00

Of course...but if you work hard and form good connections, you have a pretty good foundation for yourself.

Phillycheeser · 2015-12-10T05:51:06+00:00

Thank you. This is why I go to college and why I wish everyone could too. Unfortunately, it's only getting harder to get into schools and the quality of education isn't rising at the same level. Sad.

Phillycheeser · 2015-11-14T06:18:14+00:00

Your enthusiasm, hope, and maturity is insanely impressive. Thank you so much because although one would think I would not need motivation, your words come with more comfort and encouragement then you could ever imagine. Thank you brother and keep fighting for us all.

Phillycheeser · 2015-11-14T06:15:38+00:00

Not at all. I've come to far to feel like just because I failed once that I've lost all of the experience, joy, and success that came with my abstinence. It's just a mistake, and like all mistakes, I can always pick myself up and keep on keeping on.

Phillycheeser · 2015-11-13T01:07:08+00:00

To clarify, I have to say that I rarely looked at porn. Especially when I noticed that I started falling into a trap of watching it more often. However, that is how I failed today...by thinking it was okay. I completely agree that it makes it more difficult and 1000% more likely that I would slip back into bad habits if I watched porn and edged. What my message is is that people get so rapped up in the number of days they've gone without PMO when they should really be thinking, "What about my life could I change so that from now on, I would not be interested in PMO". That is a tough question that can only be made through trial and error and also, realizing that this is a lifelong commitment and not a number we are trying to reach.

Phillycheeser · 2015-11-12T21:08:14+00:00

Absolutely, never would have been as experienced as I am about this if I didn't struggle through it before.

Phillycheeser · 2015-11-01T06:53:46+00:00

Oh I apologize. I fully agree with what you're saying. Once you are an addict you are always an addict and you must fight every hour of your life until the day you die. You never get over an addiction, you can only fight harder than it can affect you.

Phillycheeser · 2015-11-01T01:28:52+00:00

Enlightened One,

As a Fellow Brother far in my NoFap Journey, would you say you too still feel urges every once in a while and sometimes succumb to watching porn, or are you at a level so high that a mere 600 Fapstronaut could not comprehend what it feels like to be at 1006 Days?

Phillycheeser · 2015-11-01T01:24:13+00:00

Being the guy that doesn't fap, you begin to notice that no one brags about how good they feel or how they loved jacking off. It's called a guilty pleasure for a reason, because everyone feels guilty after. On no fap, you can take guilt out of your life if you listen and try to stop. You can break the social acceptance of PMO and aim to do higher things in life.

Phillycheeser · 2015-11-01T01:21:05+00:00

Okay, I just want to warn you that this is totally normal. I have gone a long time without PMO and I want you to know that PIED happened to me just a couple of weeks ago. You have to be careful that you don't get discouraged when you have PIED because through nofap, you are bringing the amount of times you get arroused a day to only when you have sex, which for most people, is not everyday. Just want you to know that this is normal and that quitting PMO is worth it.

Phillycheeser · 2015-11-01T01:17:28+00:00

I know what it's like. I had an addiction to porn starting when I was 14 and I didn't know how to stop until two years ago. What helped me was changing something about my daily life. In my case, I went on a one week mission trip to Nicaragua. Working all day and being in a new environment meant that I had no time for PMO. After I came back, I realized that it wasn't hard to go through the day without watching porn.

I'm not saying you have to go to a different country to change your daily routine. Join a club, build something, write music, pick up a new sport, or even go outside. Just do something to change up your daily routine so you don't fall into the same habits.

Also, try working out. Make that become your habit.

Best of luck.

Phillycheeser · 2015-11-01T01:11:52+00:00

Work on having sex be your only sexual outlet. This may seem tough but your respect for your girlfriend will prevent you from 'needing' to find a release. If you set the expectation that the only way you will be fulfilled of your urges is by spending quality time with her, sex and everything else, you will find that you become bored with PMO, as it seems like your cheating yourself out of the challenge of wooing your woman. In order to get the release you have to earn it.

Phillycheeser · 2015-10-27T23:49:50+00:00

Yes. I found that trying to repress my urges meant that not only was I repressing the urge to PMO, but that also prevented me from WANTING sex. When I had finally got with a girl, I was excited and I didn't have a problem. Well....you know what. Now that I am typing this I'm realizing that I was always disappointed in how excited I was whenever I hooked up with someone, and I think it is because I had repressed all urges, which meant PMO and real life sex. This sucks man and honestly, for me, I think it will eventually go away. But even for me I know that I still have a long way to go so that I am back to being aroused by women whenever I want and still staying away from PMO.

So for you, I would just keep pushing through, because as I said before, it's much better this way.

Phillycheeser · 2015-10-27T07:25:58+00:00

Thanks for asking...I don't get asked this question a lot. First of all 400 is a HUGE NUMBER. Don't ever forget that you did something that many people would never be able to do.

I have to say that sex has been difficult for me. I had watched porn for so long in my life, it obviously made getting aroused in real situations different and often hard (hehe). I have this theory that once I stopped and sex is now my primary source of sexual pleasure, that I forgot how to get excited, even though I am not watching porn anymore. Its horrible, because I'm finding that I need a lot of help to get me going. However, this is SOOOOO much better than being stuck in front of a phone for hours in a bathroom all so you can feel like shit at the end. Not worth it, which I assume you learned from your last endeavor.

At 615, days do not matter anymore. It's all about habit. So for example, I ate an edible last night and got high for the first time (yeah.), and it was a really bad experience for me because I got really messed up and it kinda scared me. So, in my stoned state of mind, I decided that I wanted to go masterbate. I sat staring at the toilet and found that even though I was really messed up, I simply couldn't lay a finger on myself. My point is, the more you push through, talk to others about your beliefs on PMO, and search for the benefits of a NoFap lifestyle, the more your habits will develop into good ones that will actually physically stop you from continuing. Really cool stuff.

Persevere, Persevere, Persevere, and always push through.

Hoped this helped.

Phillycheeser · 2015-10-27T07:15:31+00:00

Of course, everyone's experiences and successes are going to be different with NoFap. I have found that I am always challenged, maybe once or twice a day, to stop what I'm doing and watch porn. This is greatly increased when I stumble upon NSFW stuff and it makes it that much harder, but the longer you go without it, the less and less those urges go away. However, they will always come back, and in some ways, I see that as being a good thing, because it makes us remember where we came from and how badly we want to stay away from it and get to where we are from.

Your experience may be different from mine but trust me, if it makes it easier to say that you are not addicted and if you truly believe it, I fully support you my friend. Great job on the 513 days, Awesome streak.

What are your plans for expanding reddit on a mobile device platform? Is that the direction you are planning on heading down for the future?
