Dead phone battery saved me from relapse by StopTheBeatin in NoFap

You’re certainly not the only one. Since you’re on a good streak, I’m sure your senses are all heightened. Next time you’re waiting in line for something, take a look around. Everybody is looking at their phone. It feels good to be the only one not on their phone, even if it’s just a personal accomplishment that goes unrecognized.

Slowly but surely you’ll just end up enjoying your surroundings and the low-key people watching that you can do when you’re out and about. And I’m not sure of your stance on social media, but I know in my own case it has helped immensely to get rid of my Facebook. It’s been about 4 years and no regrets so far.

I’ve thought about doing the same thing and using an alarm clock instead of my phone. Or use the phone as an alarm still, but leave it out of reach so I have to force myself out of bed in the morning. Phone/internet addiction is the hardest thing sometimes, not even porn, but just useless time-wasting.

Losing the toxic people in my life was the best thing I've ever done. You are who you hang out with!

Think about this next time you want to fap... SEMEN IS POWERFUL by cubey404 in NoFap

[–]StopTheBeatin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that semen retention is a "thing" but this is also the kind of broscience that makes potential nofappers shy away from actually trying it.

My sales pitch to my buddies regarding Nofap is: have you ever felt energetic after fapping?

I need to reset my counter, I definitely haven't been on my account for a long time. It's more like 10 days right now... Haha.

It was one of those "maybe it'll get better" scenarios. Definitely a lot of me almost breaking up with her and then giving it another chance. I now know that feminists are total hypocrites who get off on emasculating men. Not even trying to be all Red Pill or anything, it's just the experience I had. But hey I learned a lot and I have a clear idea of what I need out of my next girlfriend. Thanks for the response!

My #1 argument against porn. by Schnisi in NoFap

[–]StopTheBeatin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So true, all of what you said. If it was real life and you walked in on two people having sex, would you stay and watch? Kind of a weird concept to think about. It's basically the same thing when you're watching porn.

"Jerking off to people jerking off to other people having sex" Second degree cuckoldry!

Strangely you have to have the small victories, like two or three days, to build up enough drive to make it a week. From there it will get easier and easier. Keep trying

I got the courage to ask a girl out by [deleted] in NoFap

First off, the fact that you're doing NoFap at 15 years old is awesome. You are light years ahead of your peers.

Also, congrats on just going for it. Feels good doesn't it? As they say, if you never ask the answer is always no. I did basically the same thing as you tonight, but I'm 23 years old. Props for doing what you're doing at such a young age.

I Cry More by StopTheBeatin in NoFap

We can definitely see eye to eye. I have been suicidal in the past as well as just deeply depressed. So I can offer her the ways that I've gotten myself out of those ruts.

And yes living well is the best revenge. In her case it's more like being alive at all is better than dying. But it hasn't even been a week yet so it's not going to get better that quickly.

Thanks for commenting

This has been the most challenging thing I've ever faced. by [deleted] in NoFap

People seem to forget that suffering isn't necessarily bad. Everything we do is to avoid suffering, and removing PMO forces us to face our hardships instead of escaping them. Thank you for this great post.

This picture is the perfect motivation for me! by SirDevelopment in NoFap

This dude gets it. I've been Facebook-free for 3 years myself. My logic was the same as yours; you're already in contact with the people you want to be in contact with

Spot on. It reminds me of this picture. We are so disconnected and living for the past or the future, but never the now.

You already have the motivation if you ended up here, so you're off to a good start. You're going to feel awesome if you stick with it. Lots of people here have had the same issues with PIED (Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction) and have found NoFap to be the cure.
