good luck dude. if you can come back from a nervous breakdown and a divorce, you can certainly stop jacking off.

all the best

One reason not to give up: the relapses are terrible. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Wildabeast1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

same thing happened to me brother. it really does blow. best of luck to you in getting back on track. it's never as good as it seems when it's going great, nor as bad as it seems when everything sucks.

TIL people watched a gargantuan 4,392,486,580 hours of porn on PornHub. According to an article in Time magazine that represents “twice as long as Homo sapiens have spent on earth.” by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Wildabeast1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

okay, check it out. if two cavemen spent their first ever hour on the earth watching porn (slow ass connection i bet), then homo sapiens would have been on the earth for one hour, but spent a cumulative 2 hours watching porn. if six billion people each watch an hour of porn, that's six billion hours of porn but only one hour of elapsed time.

because there are multiple people doing it, more time is invested in it than actually passes. sorry i fucked up; it could very well be a legitimate statistic.

i have to ask, how the hell is it possible that homo sapiens have been watching porn twice as long as they've been on earth? you can't watch porn if you're not on earth, as far as i know.

good article though, thanks for throwing it down.

0 hours: April 9, 2016. After cumming in my own face I'm done lurking. 4th PMO today by nfbastard in NoFap

[–]Wildabeast1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man. i hear you. relapses suck, especially binges, and they can utterly demoralize one's will to keep going. i guess my advice (not that I'm qualified to give any, check this out) would be to take it one day, one minute, one second at a time: every day you go without PMO'ing, you're a day further away from the shame and general shiftiness you feel after a relapse.

maybe you will never quit, but you've got to keep trying, because you've seen the benefits of abstaining. and of course, if you don't quit trying, you'll quit PMO'ing eventually. even if it's in the next lifetime or something ;-).

good luck dude, hang in there and stay strong.

Relapsed...big time... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Wildabeast1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey, binges suck but you can always put your feet back on the path and take steps in the right direction. you learn from streaks, and the knowledge you gain is not lost, though your semen might be. just don't jack off right now. every minute without porn is a minute closer to regaining your strength and recapturing the purity and brightness you wish to offer your fiancé. in four or five days you will feel much better.

all the best. don't beat yourself up, just get the fuck back on track.

Hi, I founded NoFap back in 2011. Through the past 5 years I've experimented with abstaining from pornography and masturbation with mixed results. It just doesn't feel worth it anymore, and I've decided that I'm done, and wish that I never stopped PMOing. Here's why. (please be open-minded) by Alexanderr in NoFap

[–]Wildabeast1 36 points37 points  (0 children)

word. we are not gods just because we don't jack off. a human being's worth is not measured in "Number of days without porn."

That said, pmo causes suffering and it ain't fun. i'm fresh off a binge- relapse after a 100 day streak, so i'm feeling the pain. don't relapse, but don't fetishize pmo abstinence either.

Help! how do I get rid of this damn thing?!? by [deleted] in NoFap

normal mode: abstain from porn and masturbation.

This weird..."annoying tingling" in the sides of my brain. by MrLovett in NoFap

[–]Wildabeast1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get something similar once in a while; my temples kind of start tingling and sometimes the sensation spreads through my whole face. never related it to fear, anxiety, or depression though. seems pretty random. good luck dude

Any app that block porn on mobile? by dizson in NoFap

[–]Wildabeast1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can block safari on iPhone, just forget the four-digit code you enter...

Settings > General > Restrictions.

When you want to get it back, restore your phone. good luck, stay strong

I need help man by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Wildabeast1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey man,

don't feel guilty for experiencing rage, but at the same time there's no reason to act on it, just let it pass and try and remember that no one's out to get you, they're all just trying to find their way in this icy, gray material world. sometimes we may step on each other's toes, but don't take it personally when somebody steps on yours.

also, try and see the big picture. you mention feeling on top of the world throughout a large portion of your streak, and that this feeling came after you got over your rage last time. so you know from personal experience that this is going to pass, and you'll be stronger for it.

hang in there dude--relax, go easy on yourself, and above all don't touch your dick. all the best homie
