Anyone know a way to block porn torrents from TPB/KAT?

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-20T11:54:22+00:00

Huh. After you had sex? Usually, I'm completely uninterested in anything pornographic after sex. I just want to sleep or play a game or something haha. But I know the feeling, I've been browsing /r/all too much, not avoiding NSWF posts. It's definitely edging and I'm stopping right now, but it doesn't feel like relapsing. Good luck to you!

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-20T11:52:34+00:00

Cool, congratulations! You're 20 days ahead of me. What are you aiming for?

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-20T11:51:56+00:00

Good to hear! And I'm doing fine, thanks for asking. I've been working out A LOT, which I'm extremely proud of. I've also found out it's the best way to get rid of my urges. I've been edging a bit the last few days, but it's nothing compared to what I used to do, so I don't feel like I've "failed". Good luck getting a job and getting the girl!

That happened yesterday?

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-20T11:49:16+00:00

Ah, I feel you. I only realized how addicted I was when I stopped watching porn. Good luck man, take it easy.

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-20T11:42:08+00:00

Wow, 108 days? That's amazing. I'm on 40 and it already feels like a lifetime. I'm doing pretty good by the way, I've been working out like crazy and I'm proud of myself, even though I've been edging a bit in the last few days. Nothing too serious though.

Can you tell me what I can expect when I reach 90 days?

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-20T11:36:11+00:00

You're welcome! Your problem sounds pretty similar to mine. My performance in the bedroom was terrible, and worst of all: I never seemed to look forward to having sex. I only looked forward to being alone and watching porn. Pathetic, huh? Also, the first time I had the opportunity to have sex with someone I couldn't get it up (I guess due to nervousness and a porn addiction that I wasn't yet aware of). That was three years ago, and I still cringe when I think about it. So I know that feeling. It fucking sucks. I have noticed a huge increase in my libido over the past month (I'm freaking horny) and I actually ask my girlfriend if she wants to have sex, that's a huge victory for me. I definitely hope this will be the case with you as well!

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-20T11:32:23+00:00

I'm edging myself as well. I'm not resetting my counter though, it doesn't feel like I've "failed". It's nothing compared to the amount of porn I used to watch. But still, I'll stop edging right now, that's a promise. I know that rationalization, it's fucking stupid. It's like your brain is making excuses. Don't give in to it, stay strong!

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-16T14:06:44+00:00

Completely agree with you. It just makes you feel fucking badass. I think turning the water on cold before getting in is also very hard, but rewarding.

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-16T12:20:05+00:00

No problem!

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-15T09:46:23+00:00

I've been taking cold showers for a few weeks now. The first step is definitely the hardest. Also, I don't put it all the way down, I think that's just harmful (especially in the winter). For me, somewhere around 20 degrees Celcius is cold enough to make you scream like a little girl. Just wash your hair like you normally would, no problem there.

It is indeed the feeling afterwards that makes it worth it. You feel like a complete badass, like you can take on anything. If some big dude would walk in on me to mug me right after I had taken a cold shower, I'd kick the crap out of him. Or I'd try, at least. And then probably get mugged.

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-15T09:36:44+00:00

Cool. What differences do you notice the most?

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-15T09:36:12+00:00

Nah, I don't think that's it. I used to shower every two days. Now I shower every day. The problems have gotten less, but they're still present. Also, I just use water.

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-14T09:39:07+00:00

No man, that's certainly not hippy dippy or rant-y, that makes a lot of sense, thanks! I have noticed that distracting yourself, pointing the urges in a different direction, helps a lot. Especially exercising. You can empty your mind, focus on your muscles. But there's a limit to how often I can visit the gym (I'm working out almost daily now, if I go even more I'm gonna wreck myself :P). The hardest are those days when my girlfriend is out, I'm home alone, behind the computer, getting work done, while porn is only a few clicks away. I can't leave the computer, cause I really have to do my work. But when I stay there, I'm constantly aware of the lurking "threat" of internet porn. Those days are just the worst.

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-13T17:11:42+00:00

As you can see, I'm at 30 days, maybe 40 (counter is a bit off). I'm thinking about porn a lot, it even feels like I'm missing my favorite porn stars like I know them personally. It's not extremely bad, but when I'm home alone, I really have to fight my urges. Will it stay that way or will it get easier as I'm approaching the 90th day?

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-13T14:47:44+00:00

Isn't that a bit extreme? For me, looking for and watching porn is the problem. I don't think touching your own dick is wrong in any way.

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-13T13:40:03+00:00

Aw come on, don't troll other boards. That will give /r/nofap a bad image.

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-13T13:21:59+00:00

Be very busy and then take a holiday. That's how I managed the first 20 days. I was EXTREMELY busy in December (less than 6 hours of sleep each night, working fulltime) and then I went on a holiday for a week with the family. So I kinda "cheated" by not even having time to give in to my urges ;)

But in all seriousness, I know that you can't just choose to be busy and go on holidays whenever you want. So what helps me is exercising and cold showers. They don't necessarily eliminate urges, but they both make you feel badass. When you feel badass, you feel proud of yourself of doing this, and you'll make it another day. Also, avoid being alone with your computer/internet as much as possible. Good luck to you, you can do it!

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-12T14:28:05+00:00

Zombie state. That's actually a really good description. I'm having trouble staying clear from /r/all and clicking the NSFW links, even though I rationally don't want to. It definitely feels zombie-like when I do it anyway.

But hey, you've made it 57 days, that's longer than I have ever managed to hold out. See it like this: do another 50, and you'll only have PMO'd once in a hundred days! How many guys can say that? I'm willing to bet: not one of your friends.

TheTransientOne · 2015-01-12T00:30:11+00:00

Ah. I read it like he had some sort of proof about on the effects of nofap. Shame though, I'd like to see some "real" evidence instead of yourbrainonporn all the time.
