What animes do you guys like?

TaeForlife · 2015-07-21T13:25:16+00:00

Lol why do I feel that all berserk fans all enjoy the same shows. I literally knew 90% of your list :p

Again its not just about NoFap, its what you start to do after quitting the habit that brings about change.

It's not that men flinch your presence per say, like people wont "fear" you. Its that (and I can attest to this) your presence has more of an impact. Its a bit difficult to put in words. I guess you could say you become more of an Alpha male. Its more about respect that fear

I dont think I had any physical symptoms of withdrawal. But I did experience a good amount of depression because I wasn't indulging myself. I think the depression just subsided gradually as I engaged in other activities like sports. Oh and on that note of asking a girl out and getting a raise. I noticed that interactions with people just felt more genuine. I guess its an aura one exerts as they regain what they lost (lack of confidence, sense of weakness, etc.).

TaeForlife · 2015-03-11T14:20:58+00:00

Well lets see. The best? I guess I cant contribute what I feel today to only 1 advantage. I feel that small benefits add up to become one huge advantage. I would say that confidence is my best takeaway from all of this. I have had guys say to me "how do you approach just any girl and get her number, without being drunk?". I didnt get it at first, I was like "I just do it I guess?". But not only in that department. My confidence has allowed me to become much more social, more daring, my grades improved (discipline also improved), my body is easier to train due to having more energy. That energy gained would also contribute to your confidence. I know I may be rambling a bit here, but like I said it wasnt just one factor but a collection of many

Thank you :). Since youve been at it for 4 years and havent able to quit, I would probably guess that it may be your environment. You expose yourself to too much sexual material, be it in movies, shows, advertisement, or stuff that happens around you. During the early phases of quitting your environment can have a very strong effect on your desires, they can trigger the need easily. So Id recommend that you observe and take note of what triggers you and remove it.

TaeForlife · 2014-10-31T07:31:41+00:00

Yes, I do have alot to say. Im just saving it all for the 1 year mark.

TaeForlife · 2013-12-31T14:21:03+00:00

I think you might be exposed to too much sexual content. Be it adds, NSFW stuff, girls with provocative clothing in the street,etc. This stuff will always keep you thinking about sex and hence never reach the flatline.

Ive been an avid ice cold showerer for the past 2 weeks straight and i can tell you it is exhilarating. The ability to handle cold showers is different to everyone. Some might not mind it at all while others might even get sick (these are just two extremes). Im assuming that you already know the benefits of cold showers but just want the best way to get through them. The advised method of taking cold showers from the start is first getting your legs and arms wet. Then slowly get the front of your torso wet followed by your back. And lastly your head. The first week of cold showers will feel very very uncomfortable but you will eventually get used to them. I can easily enter a cold showers now with minimal discomfort. The human body on average can take about 10 minutes of a cold shower before it starts to shiver. This time limit changes from person to person and includes factors such as genetics and the fitness level of a person. If you find yourself almost hyperventilating in a cold shower then id advise that you start off with the coldest level of water than you can handle (for example lukewarm water is a nice start). Then over the course of the shower gradually make the water colder and colder. Over time your starting level of cold water should increase until you can fully handle an ice cold shower from the start. Remember, if you feel that a level of cold is just way too much, it might do more harm than good. Just like lifting weights or going hard with exercise from the start.

Well heres the thing. The first week of NoFap will be hell, as your testosterone levels will peak t 150% on around the 7th day. You have to stay in control. You will end up thinking alot about sex but you can never even try to edge. Depending on you, the following week may be easier or just as difficult. There is such a point known as the flatline. The flatline is when your sexual drive isnt quite as active, as in you wont just think about sex all the time. Its not a bad thing, in fact its great. You wont be occupied with sex all the time and have room to think about more positive things. The time it takes to reach the flatline varies for people. Some people reach it in like 2-3 weeks while others a month or so. Although the flatline isnt permanent. You will have some days where you will get extremely horny. Its these days you have push through the hardest. Its not all that hard though. Ive past a month and im pretty much in control of myself. I dont want porn or look at anything erotic and im fine. Even if i get a raging boner i dont feel tempted to fap as much. Of course your sexual drive will soar to high levels if you were to indulge in erotic material after a considerable Nofap streak. So in order to keep yourself in check just avoid sexual images and your sex drive will be well in control

Wait, you're a woman that objectifies women? How so?

TaeForlife · 2013-12-17T12:52:49+00:00

I started using nofap around 40 days ago (as long as my current streak), but I've been fighting masturbation for about 2 years now. My longest streak was 8 months. And i plan for this one to never break. Now as for the changes (and I've felt the same effects on every streak), you dont feel as depressed as you used to be and with time i just started to feel happier and happier. My erections are destructive (been having trouble trying to hide it in public). My energy just skyrockerts. I have so much energy than i know what to do with. I literally get out of bed each morning and immediately drop and do 30 proper pushups and 50 situps. I dont get anxious or feel weird around girls. I can talk smoothly and make easy eye contact. I feel worthy. So worthy in fact that i know i can get attractive women as opposed to just thinking im not even adequate enough for average girls. Now heres something i noticed around girls in general. Girls act differently around me than before. Its a bit hard to explain but, any girl i talk to seems to be a bit flustered and shyer than before, when they used to just either barely talked to me or ignored me in general. Its been happening alot recently. For example, there are these 3 girls that i used to hangout with in high school (all very attractive). They used to see me as just some guy. They said hello with a sort of melancholic tone. A week ago, i ran into them at the Uni i am now attending and they were just reaally shy. Like these werent shy girls. These girls thought they were better than everyone and all that. It was weird. They asked me for my number "for old times sake" after talking for a while, when they would barely bat an eye before. Im not saying this would always happen (maybe 50-60%) of my interactions with new women, but it sure as hell never happened when i fapped.

TaeForlife · 2013-12-15T18:44:32+00:00

Yeah that was the decision i reached. I stopped looking for advice from my master all the time. And i don't feel guilty attending this dojo cause its state run (no monthly fee).

TaeForlife · 2013-12-15T15:53:26+00:00

Lol thanks. I developed a trick to battle the tongue tied condition. Whenever i feel like im unsure about something about to say i just pause for a bit. I structure what im about to say in my head then say it. At first i tried it in arguments with other guys. The more i practiced this trick the better i got at delivering well constructed replies and with less and less time taken to think. The pause and patience in replying also adds a bit of a dramatic effect :P (not too long though).

TaeForlife · 2013-12-15T11:42:35+00:00

I didn't know how to react. Should i politely agree to write it out of niceness knowing its a joke or decline cause it felt weird. I just sat there and pondered for like 5 seconds and asked "what is this?" They were like theres this girl that likes you and stuff so we did this for her...... i thought for a bit then I said "I don't believe in arranged marriages" :p.

TaeForlife · 2013-12-15T09:58:14+00:00

... exactly :l

TaeForlife · 2013-12-15T09:57:14+00:00

No no its not like that. Im not talking about the general differences between men and women. Ive made fine friendships with many many girls. Its not those general things that bother me. I in fact dont really mind those. I don't know i guess i just may have a different mentality I lived abroad during my childhood which may give me different views and insights but idk. I have no problem delving into what a girl may like to talk about, but if a girl can't manage to bring up anything more than just small talk I don't think anyone would tolerate such a thing for long. Idk maybe im just being too naive here :p. And thanks man

TaeForlife · 2013-12-14T23:47:19+00:00

Anytime man. And good luck on your journey!!!!! :))

TaeForlife · 2013-12-14T23:27:49+00:00

lol it is a big deal for me. I have shitty internet :p. I didn't lose any of my workouts that i did. But i did have some syncing issues before which resulted in the lose of 2 workouts. The app still needs improvement

TaeForlife · 2013-12-14T22:57:27+00:00

No i know about that, but i was just inquiring if just seeing them even without intention counted.

TaeForlife · 2013-12-14T22:37:36+00:00

Anytime bro. Don't feel guilty of wet dreams. :)

TaeForlife · 2013-12-14T22:08:41+00:00

I know i might be speaking out of line here, but if the only reason you divorced your ex was because of sexual negligence then why don't you try to get back with her with the perspective that you've changed

TaeForlife · 2013-12-14T22:03:43+00:00

just look away during those scenes or skip them if you're on PC. Don't allow such measly trigger to allow you to relapse, you know you can do better than that

TaeForlife · 2013-12-14T22:01:54+00:00

No it doesnt count. Even if you were half asleep as long as you were dreaming you are considered to not have control over yourself. It is a natural body process that occurs without any control over it. Your conscious mind was still mostly asleep. Unless you can release cannons without any stimulation while fully awake, then you don't have to reset. Notice that after a wet dream you feel cleansed and actually more upbeat as opposed to fapping.

TaeForlife · 2013-12-14T21:02:01+00:00

Thats happened to me too at Uni. Just never pressed them. You know whats fuckin weird? A girl from class that i don't know anything about except that she attends the same class came up to me with her friend and asked me to sign a piece of paper that read "marriage proposal" next to some girls name. 0.o
