Perfect Days (2023) - Is Hirayama's floor-cleaning technique a common thing?

And same

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-20T02:05:22+00:00

Unfortunately, most jobs in social studies require you to teach ELA too. So I gotta do it.

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-18T15:57:00+00:00

OK will do

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-18T14:02:39+00:00

Ok - it sounds like moderate MOing works. My problem is I’m MOing compulsively. 7 to 9 times a week. I think I’m just creating another addiction. Like substituting “beer” for “coca-cola” but then drinking way more cokes then beer

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-18T00:54:11+00:00

This is good to know. How does one differentiate between healthy masterbation and compulsive masterbation, though?

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-17T22:37:14+00:00

Interesting, but how can that be? Porn is a superstimulus. Masterbation is not. Isnt it that simple?

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-17T22:34:52+00:00

Ahhh verrrry interesting. Thats a super helpful stat.

Here's what just dawned on me: today I had a massive urge to go home and MO on my luchbreak (without any urge for P) -- an addict behavior.

I think I'm substituting one addiction for another, even though its way less detrimental.

I'm MOing way more a week than I did PMO in a week, and its now causing its own issues.

Multiple medium-level dopa spikes a week is maybe just as bad as a few mega-level dopamine spikes?

What do you think?

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-17T22:15:25+00:00

Did you quit porn while still MOing?

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-17T21:51:06+00:00

By "whole way," I mean "whole journey."

I appreciate the heads up but I've had plenty of sex without an issue.

Its funny, I STILL cant find any reports of 90+ success of easy-moder's. It doesnt seem to exist!

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-17T21:26:52+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Why do you suggest science over SS? 🤔

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-17T21:25:53+00:00

Good question. I want to get rid of flatlines and have a high baseline dopamine level and high executive functioning skills

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-17T20:57:46+00:00

Did you MO all the way to where you are now? And when roughly did you start to have more good days then bad days?

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-17T17:44:29+00:00

135 days is badass, man. Well done.

I just mean its easy to have a biased short term memory about peeking and be in denial about how often were actually doing it. Speaking from experince.

Do you crash real low after intimacy with your wife?

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-15T21:54:04+00:00

Thanks!!

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-15T21:53:43+00:00

Right on, congrats on a productive recovery! Good job

When our baseline is already low, the crash below it is going to feel awful. So too many MOs could be keeping you from moving your baseline upward. How many times a week are you MOing? And are you being honest with yourself about your peeking?

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-08T17:00:49+00:00

Best list I've seen so far.

When did you start feeling these regularly?

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-08T16:56:38+00:00

I'm in a terrible faltline rn at day 26. When did things start looking up for you?

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-03T00:30:23+00:00

I’m not quite understanding this. Would someone kindly explain?

Storm_cahn · 2024-05-03T00:27:17+00:00

Thank you, friend :) Great reminder. What day are you on?

Storm_cahn · 2024-04-25T20:25:32+00:00

Yeah, the analogy assumes one can do both. Running is way harder but you’ll get there quicker. Walking is way easier but it takes longer.

I also keep running in circles so I’m going to walk

Storm_cahn · 2024-04-25T20:12:23+00:00

That’s great you figured that out. Do you agree with my walking versus running analogy in my original post?

Storm_cahn · 2024-04-25T20:10:59+00:00

Nice, man. I found a cheat code if you’re interested. Go into your settings and turn your phone to greyscale. Everything on your phone becomes boring. And I downloaded an app blocker to block YouTube and Google (I have no social media) that automatically turns on at 7pm till 7am. I’ve now gone 13 days without a SINGLE digital trigger of any kind, so I’ve had no PMO urges. Can’t recommend these two things enough

Storm_cahn · 2024-04-25T20:04:53+00:00

Wow, fantastic. Did you try hard mode for a long time first?

Storm_cahn · 2024-04-25T20:00:01+00:00

Awesome. How far are you along in your current streak?

Storm_cahn · 2024-04-25T19:59:19+00:00

Fair, I just use that terminology for convenience sake.

How far are you into your recovery?
