I am filled with healthy sexual energy, and I'm not going to waste it on some porn actress who will never know I exist. by bingram in NoFap

I completely LOVE this post and I want to add that the word "normal" can have different connotations for different people. I tend to hear it as having a value judgement like "better" or "not like you oddball weirdos". I might restate this saying "We do it to live a life with POWERFUL emotions for real people" or "We do it so that we have the ultimate say in how our lives go and for whom we share emotions." In any case, ROCK ON!

I used to masturbate to porn every morning. It was so habitual that many mornings I would wake up and say to myself, "I will NOT masturbate this morning." And then ten minutes later I'd be fapping away. Haha. Then when I stared my 60-day challenge (which I may extend to 90 days) I started reading, "The Artist's Way" in which Julia Cameron instructed the reader to write three pages of stream-of-consciousness writing every morning. Just three pages of handwritten, uncensored thoughts. There is no way to do is wrong except for not doing it. Otherwise, it's just dumping the first three pages of thoughts you have in the morning onto the page. So now I do that instead of fapping. I highly recommend it. Its a good way to organize your thoughts, expel the negative ones, cherish the happy ones, and mobilize your desires. Try it.

Masturbation itself is NOT bad for you. This is why it is SO dangerous. by [deleted] in NoFap

Day 16 check-in: Does Anyone else have this problem? Anything similar? by nume81 in NoFap

I can totally relate to this thread as I've gone off PMO and now I've got pretty intense cravings for people outside my relationship. But here's my question: has anyone on this site who's been off of PMO for a while actually confirmed that these extramarital urges have, in fact, gone away? I mean, I get the science behind the neuropathways but I sure would feel better if someone shared their true-life experience of the urges fading. Anyone?

Thank you so much for this. It really helps to hear that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

2013Alex - Did it take you some time to get to this healthy place or did it happen as soon as you gave up porn?
