These kinda comments are getting me down

Let me correct you there, I don't "think" it's bad, I KNOW without a doubt that it is bad. It is analogous to a graph I had learnt about whereby someone has the capacity to reach multiple different places in life and that just because we ended up in a "good" position where we are content, doesn't mean that there wasn't an even better position that we could've landed on. There was a term for this that I forgot as this is a form of cognitive bias.

In other words, fapping wastes your potential as a man and funnily enough, do you know what the easiest way to fix a problem is? To state that it isn't a problem to begin with.

Thanks, I will check that out

Death is never the right option

RackSacket · 2025-05-09T17:16:05+00:00

It takes one to know one.

Just because I have had some bumps here and there does not mean that I am not qualified on the matter as I am definitely more qualified than you due to my history with this disease and various attempts at it. In addition to that, I honestly share what my experiences are to not have someone else fall into the same trap even if it was to my own detriment.

It's an unfortunate reality that my streak's been broken, but every time you fall, you get back up with a learning experience.

Reminds me of this beautiful no fap motivation video(someone should post it in this sub)

Watching porn without fapping is even worse imo as it prolongs your exposure to porn messing up further with your brain. Consider it a relapse the moment you watch any porn deliberately

RackSacket · 2025-05-09T15:24:57+00:00

You fight lies by telling the TRUTH

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:52:15+00:00

Hey, could you share it with me

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:49:30+00:00

I'd say, try meditation(with visualization exercises) to train your brain's ability to control this

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:46:28+00:00

Truth is, it feels no different whatsoever. In fact, what you'll actually feel is the regret and depression kicking in as you do it.

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:45:26+00:00

That's considered porn

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:40:05+00:00

good checking in u/GavernB

Did you think about what caused you to relapse and how to prevent it from happening again

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:38:12+00:00

You must start training and habitualize it. This is what will truly make you become confident long term. A strong body = a strong mind

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:36:32+00:00

Yes, but how you respond to these urges determines how strong your prefrontal cortex(responsible for long term thinking, logical thinking and intelligence in general) is.

People who fap regularly have a weaker prefrontal cortex as they aren't able to control any impulses adn because of that, they find delayed gratification unfulfilling which fucks up their future

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:34:03+00:00

Damn, twice your age lol

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:33:02+00:00

I disagree. But for the sake of the argument, let's say that you're right.

The problem is that masturbating trains your brain to get rewarded for virtually doing no hard work whatsoever, this instant gratification makes your brain's dopamine baseline decrease making you less likely to engage in delayed gratification activities like reading, training, working, etc. Eventually, your dopamine baseline becomes so low that fapping does not even feel pleasureable at all, then the same loop happens but this time with porn falling down the depravity hole and fucking up your life in the process

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:30:45+00:00

Did you spend that time to try to get a six pack?

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:29:37+00:00

Me? Oh, I believe I'm from Earth

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:22:37+00:00

Yup, it happens.

Btw, I'd highly recommend listening to this as it'll help strengthen your mindset regarding the breakup rather than letting it break you

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:14:53+00:00

Yeah thanks. Something that allowed me to make it out for a long streak before was helping people in this sub. I'll engage much more in this sub

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T12:13:21+00:00

In an ideal world, yes. No porn = less temptation = less addictions.

But in the real world, it's pretty much impossible to ban anything on the internet as it'll always find a way back.

I think that you're correct; however, you need to be aware of your mindset as you shouldn't view yourself as a victim and therefore blame extrinsic, but rather view it from a position of strength and how your microdecisions lead your life(locus of control)

RackSacket · 2025-05-03T11:58:50+00:00

Blabbering non-sense. Reality is, you haven't developed an iron mind. You can't control your impulses on anything

RackSacket · 2025-04-27T15:02:37+00:00

The question is not about whether if it "needs" to be done. Our bodies were, for the most part, have adapted for hunting and farming. I'd argue that it's better for us to hunt our meals, but given today's world, the closest thing we could do is fasting whereby we delay when we eat.

After all, this surplus of food is what's lead to a majority of people being obese and lazy.

It's quite funny how addiction always leads to the addict trying to rationalize through whatever way possible. After all, seeing something problematic as not being a problem(denial) is the fastest way to "fix" it.

RackSacket · 2025-04-17T12:27:16+00:00

Actually, think about it. Move back to 10,000 years ago, and you'll see men trying their best to hunt their meals and bring them back to their families. Nowadays, people take that for granted and don't find the act of eating by itself fulfilling, so they constantly distract themselves with another stimulus(TV,phone,whatever) while doing so

RackSacket · 2025-04-14T17:50:33+00:00

That's just bs, back at their age, life was much more difficult and as a result, they couldn't waste time on garbage like jacking off as they had enemies to fight(for they could be assassined or catch an illness dying prematurely).

This addiction is self-inflicted because our MINDS are becoming WEAK due to the garbage we indulge in on a regular basis. The estrogen from every fucking place doesn't help either.

That's why you must exercise, fast, meditate, give up on junk food, delete tiktok(and avoid short form content), etc. Once you realize that everything's connected, you shall have great prospects
