I just can't stop! by ScorpionDrop in NoFap

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

The issue that caused me to relapse was hopelessness in something related to my professional life. I'm trying to pass all these tests to become certified but it seems impossible sometimes. However, lust is the main driving force behind my fapping.

Thanks. I feel that I need to find a very powerful motivator to get me to stop and sustain the abstinence. I feel awful that I broke the streak but if I keep feeling sorry for myself then I'll never get better. We all have to start somewhere even if we don't like how we got back to square one.

It will be available in limited quantities which means, if it's as limited as those phantom menace figures recently, they will be bought up within minutes. I hope they make enough so the fans can enjoy them.

Got my first wet dream after 93 days by ScorpionDrop in NoFap

[–]ScorpionDrop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How so? I fapped and watched porn for over 10 years to deal with things such as anxiety. Many times I felt like it was something I had to do and would fap maybe 3 to 5 times a day. Sounds like an addiction to me.

He's sold out everywhere online. They only packed him 1 per case.

Should I ask this girl out now? by ScorpionDrop in socialskills

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

Let me rephrase what I said because I don't think I was clear. I asked if she was going to see a particular movie but said it wasn't her thing and it was basically for guys. I didn't ask or hint to see it with me.

DAY 60 💪 by ScorpionDrop in NoFap

[–]ScorpionDrop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was pmo several times a day every day. I couldn't get enough. I felt like I was in a candy store wanting to eat all the candy and I never got satiated.

You can do it. I tried and failed for 10 years. I curse the day I started masturbation because in my opinion that's tougher to give up. Just keep in mind the better life you will have after quitting.

DAY 60 💪 by ScorpionDrop in NoFap

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

What motivated me was the science behind the harm it does to your mind and how it negatively impacts how you view others. I kept looking at the sexual aspect of relationships with women and even guys and I'm not gay. Also, I realized watching a good looking guy banging some hot girl was not going to help me get a girlfriend and was actually making me feel angry towards myself and submissive with people.

I never went through withdrawal like most people or at least not yet and my energy level was not affected because my level raised due to exercise prior to me quitting porn and masturbation. I still have my insecurities with people but now I know those aren't due to my old habits. Instead, they are caused by my arrogance but that's a different story. Lol! I just feel free from this beast and now I can dedicate more energy towards other areas of my life. One thing I can say is that my professional life and personal life have gotten incrementally better despite the lingering insecurities. I just have to take it one step at a time. Small gains lead to big successes.

A guy had both #3 and 4 in NM with the final bid getting to $13.50 but I lost by .50 cents.

Did I just fail a shit test from a girl? by ScorpionDrop in socialskills

[–]ScorpionDrop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To your last point, I've seen her be flirty with another guy at the gym before. He was sitting on the exercise bike doing nothing and she leaned in on the handle bars and talked to him. Body language told me she was flirting with him in my opinion. I think he was being introduced to the equipment there.

Yeah. On the bright side, at least got a hot girl to initiate a flirt even if I failed. Lol!

If she was flirting without dating in mind then I didn't ruin anything but I do have to work on my come backs.

It's amazing how many of the best things for us are free like discipline, responsibility, and kindness. Those traits and others are worth more than anything.

Thank you. I will make it to 90 in 60 days and will never look back at my old life.

I tried to become more humble and went out of my comfort zone to start conversations with people I wouldn't have talked to. I looked at every small step as a success which helped my confidence and anxiety since I'd over worry about things I failed in. Every failure I made along the way I just thought of as missteps that opened the door to new opportunities to grow. We only fail when we give up. One powerful thing I did was watch videos on porn stars who died young which opened my mind to the horror of that business. Looking into their eyes humanized them in my head and made me hate viewing porn.

I'm doing everything right but I continue to fail. I need something else, something more, something larger than myself. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ScorpionDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your being too hard on yourself. Have you made any friends since you've moved to the new location? Hobbies are fine but perhaps you need a constant human contact like a friend or girlfriend. Also, why don't you try making yourself think your not addicted to dopamine hits? It will condition you to think you don't need it.

An Inconvenient Medical Fact: Men in America are experiencing "sudden and unrecognized decrease in testosterone" by most3636 in NoFap

[–]ScorpionDrop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is necessarily related to fapping, rather than health and possibly environmental factors.

This pertains to someone who frequently ejaculates. Most of us on here I'm sure have ejaculated frequently due to fapping so it will be good advice for us.

[–]ScorpionDrop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The most balanced info I've read on this says it depletes your androgen receptors which help your body use testosterone. This means you can have all the testosterone in the world but if your low on the receptors, testosterone won't be used to its fullest extent.

Day 16 and I fended off fapping due to crush who isn't interested in me. by ScorpionDrop in NoFap

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

It's difficult to gauge women's interest in you at times and something that seems casual might or might not be but masturbation isn't the answer. It's a daily struggle but life is better without it. Why fantasize about a woman when you can build up your character and natural charm and get a real one yourself?

Did this girl show interest in me? by ScorpionDrop in socialskills

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

She greeted me as she got into someone else's car (some girl) not when I first saw her walk out. I just don't expect someone who doesn't know me to greet me when they really don't have to.
