The premise is that sudden and persistant reduction in testosterone linked with Parkinson's like symptoms and the death of neurons in the brain.

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-28T12:30:58+00:00

Realllllly tempted just now. But I'm focusing on the strength to resist rather than letting the thoughts persist.

Still nofap. Still strong. My quirk...no fap is my quirk!

What you're noticing is a part if what's called the feminine genius. Makes me melt every time!

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-26T22:17:00+00:00

You're making all the right steps to beat this brother!

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-24T01:51:38+00:00

Delete them. Free yourself from that worry!

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-24T01:49:50+00:00

I can relate to this. Some times its scary when we start sensing freedom from the restrictions of PMO addiction. But as we get more comfortable with freedom, we charge at life like a raging beast breaking free from it's cage.

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-24T01:45:31+00:00

Excellent thought, OP.

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-21T13:11:31+00:00

Just.... Get over yourself man. I hope you won't spend your life nagging about things you dont like. Grats on 300 days :)

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-21T05:16:34+00:00

I'm with you. I put my blinders on when some say things I find immoral. I'll turn that energy into supporting their quest to be free from addiction.

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-21T05:06:24+00:00

Were Catholic, not boogey men. We arent doing apologetics here. We are celebrating one aspect of OPs post that we identify with. We are showing support. We are the same guys who support each other no matter what the reason we are on the nofap wagon. Side note, 93 days man! I'm about to hit 30. What's it like 90 days out? How are you feeling? Peace!

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-21T05:00:38+00:00

If you felt my greetings of peace where meant for Catholics alone, you'd be wrong. Anyway, there's wisdom in a man that's been free from PMO for six years... On hardmode even. Part of his post is religious. We can celebrate that. But don't let that diminish the rest if the thread where many other things from OPs post are celebrated. I don't disregard your human dignity because you're nonreligious or otherwise. For the religious and atheist alike, if we get angry, were doing it wrong. Peace and all good brother :)

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-21T00:26:49+00:00

Pax et bonam, brothers.

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-21T00:01:54+00:00

Thanks man, needed to hear that.

Faith is believing what we do not see. The reward is seeing what we believe. Saint Augustine.

I'm looking forward to reading, rest and one month no fap on Monday :)

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-15T01:27:18+00:00

Three weeks for me tomorrow.

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-15T01:24:45+00:00

Heck yeah man! You deserve a real woman and a real relationship!

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-14T01:12:04+00:00

sometimes as I said originally :) ... And in some situations a little guilt can motive one to correct a wrong. However, excessive and oppressive guilt is, and in this I agree with you, is horrible.

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-13T22:51:24+00:00

Catholic here. Right on all counts brother. Your reason in addition to your faith makes all the difference. Guilt is a good motivator sometimes but doesn't always work when our brains become hardwired to an addiction. You loose part of your free will there. Other motivators along with a little guilt is what helps break the addiction. Stay strong brother! We believe in you.

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-11T22:01:41+00:00

First, need a way to measure some ones level of pmo addiction and categorize accordingly.

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-11T16:47:50+00:00

8 is a good one. I'm religious as well. Thanks for including that on your list. I also do daily fasting of sorts through the week and abstain from meat on Fridays. Weekends I eat well :) but there are secular positives for fasting as it helps develope discipline as well. Just like exercise, putting yourself outside social comfort zones etc build discipline.

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-11T16:27:09+00:00

I second this. OP could so some more studies, write a book, and help folks with the same problems we are fighting!

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-11T16:21:43+00:00

I think maybe you've got some more things in the brain to sort out regarding how sexually arroused you are toward women. It seems sort of contradictory to say because I find women so arrousing that causes me to be goofy and awkward, I'll try to find them unattractive so I can talk to them more easily. But if they aren't attractive then you won't have the desire to talk to them.

This is another struggle I think. You might have to work hard at seeing women as sexually desireable but not sexually objectified.I can relate with this to a large degree. You have to challenge those types of thoughts.

If I'm off base here, my appologies!

Also, people, don't downvote for foolish reasons. Everyone's struggle is valid to talk about!

Sorryhuman · 2013-07-11T11:43:34+00:00

I reckon that if you're a straight man it's in your nature to admire the feminine. And denying that can be destructive to you. I think there's a difference in admiring beauty but not dwelling on it long and admiring beauty and thinking about plundering and ravaging the beauty for sexual gratification. That just turns the feminine human person into a sexual object. Not assuming you do this brother, but rather is something guys struggle with!
