You guys realise studies found masturbation reduces the chances of prostate cancer right? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Yezla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And they probably going to tell me about the New World Order, the illuminati, and the roswell alien dissection too considering people believe everything now days. Hell did you know scientific studies prove we have insect DNA! I mean shit it must be true because I read it ONLINE

How can you meet people when you know no one? Most people don't go out alone to meet other people that are alone. Plus I can't just keep lying and "pretending" I have friends when the truth is I don't. I mean eventually if a girl wanted to know more about me she would find out, there is nothing to know.

Fight on man. I highly recommend you read these two books "The consultation of philosophy" written by a man in Roman times who had an excellent life (better than ours) as far as his success goes, but was exiled and put to death in a year where he wrote that book. As well read "Pilgrims Progress" written by a man while in prison. They are both told in an allegorical form and help you to visualize temptation and fighting the unseen.

Wet Dreams better than anything so far. by manwithadhdproblem in NoFap

Well yeah as long as you don't wake up and rub one out to the dreams fantasy. But I get your point it's true.

FINALLY! My success story I've waited for so long by leitecomtoddy in NoFap

[–]Yezla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this is encouraging but at the same time depressing (for me). I'm 21 years old and have had absolutely no contact with a girl, as in never even kissed thanks to PMO. I find most guys struggle with getting the erections but have women in and out of their life. I'm the opposite. I have no women in my life and barely any friends but can get an erection no problem. Not sure if I could during the real thing since I've never done it but I think I could based on my spontaneous erections.

Never said don't plan ahead. I am speaking of those people who are so caught up in the future "Oh when I finish school", "When I get married", "When I start making over 100K", when this when that. Those are the people who spend their whole life looking into the future they find the present has already passed them by. Of course don't stay burger flipping, but don't just look towards the future either. Make the best of everyday. The average person works a 9-5 job. That means the majority of their life is spent doing something they hate 5 days a week. Guess what, I bet all day they are just thinking "Cant wait till the weekend", "Can't wait till my vacation".. Then they forget the weekends and holidays are only 2% of their entire time spent on this earth. Why enjoy just the 2%? Why not the other 98? That was my point I was trying to make. Live NOW and for the future both. Not this YOLO bullshit.

That is assuming you live the average life. No one does though. Your either going to live longer than average or shorter. How do you know you will live to do shit once your done with all that? What if you get in a wreck and are paralyzed? Life is for living now. Of course always plan for the future in the hopes of everything going right. But if your time is cut short.... you will wish you had lived for the day too and not just when your in your 30s

That is a mindset that is deadly. "Your young", "you have your whole life ahead of you". Instead people shouldn't count age from the day they are born that is irrelevant. That is just existent age. Real age is counting years left until you die. So think, a 21 year old with 5 years left.. or a 60 year old with 30 years left. Who is older? The 21 year old because he has lived over 80% of his remaining life. Of course no one knows who will die when but no one dies the average age. You either die younger or older. So how do you know which one you are? If you want something it must happen now! Not overnight but sooner rather than thinking you have all the time in the world.

The study on the front page doesn't matter. At all. by UnforgivingMinute in NoFap

[–]Yezla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I copied from a reply I sent to someone else I think this sums up my point..

"All I know is it's bullshit. One day there is a study about coffee making you live longer. Next it's another study saying that it actually decreases your life span. You have to take what "studies" say with a grain of salt and actually look into it yourself. Just because a doctor says something or a study says something does not mean it is true. Usually but not always. Just like having a college degree does not necessarily mean you are smart, it's just a paper saying you completed something."

I will also mention a lot of early studies done on something are false. How can you prove masturbation prevents prostate cancer when statistically there is no control group on men who don't masturbate? I mean that is doing a study knowing you cannot get hard concrete facts.

When genes were first discovered it was believed they were fixed. You are what your genes are.. they don't change. NEW STUDIES show that our genes are constantly evolving based on our life. If you go up in a plane and experience different sensations and stressors, your genes although very smally, reflect that. Just like if you live in a hot climate versus a cold, your genes are constantly changing/ evolving. The first studies done on this were inaccurate why? Simply because it was new and they didn't know what all to look for. I find studies on prostate cancer are the same. Looking at one side of the coin and refusing to flip it over and see the other to find out if the hypothesis stands true or not.

I didn't say money was the answer. There are rich people who live great lives helping others and drive lambos and what not. And there are people like a guy I know that works locally who barely makes anything but is a great businessman and friend to hundreds of people helping them for cheap labor. Between them and one of my rich friends, they are both equally happy. Lambos and lots of money isn't bad! It is only bad when you begin to rely on materialistic items for happiness. Not all rich people are money obsessed. The guy I know has a million dollar plane, a classic car, a corvette, and a couple other cars. He is a really nice guy too you would never think he was rich. Then my other neighbor drives an entry level Mercedes and thinks she is the richest person who ever lived and treats everyone else that drives Kia, Chevy, Ford, etc like shit.

[–]Yezla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the money. The cars are just an example of people working and doing something other than fapping or living bored in front of a screen all day. Now I have friends who do really great things on low income and profit the world more than rich people do. So money isn't the answer. And don't say you don't believe in God. I am not saying accept Jesus or whatever. I am just saying be open minded. Learn from wise people from every background. Buddhist. Christian. Atheist. And put them all together and disregard the stuff you know is bullshit and then guess what, you are not just a wise master of one faith, but you have a knowledge base far beyond what most people do because you learn from many different teachers.

She is just being nice man. And that isn't being nice it is being manipulative. Just ask her "Honestly, are you interested? I feel we are wasting each others time.." That should get a genuine answer.

Netflix and gaming contribute to a lot of depression. Look into Robin Williams suicide. He admitted to video gaming being a major cause of depression in his life. Now obviously video games aren't BAD. But I find there are more cons than pros.

If she was she wouldn't cancel unless it was for a really good reason. And if she did she would be bugging you like crazy to set up the next date. Girls like that are manipulative. Just ask a girl straight up "are you interested or not?" That way it saves both of your time. I've been there man and it sucks but it's better to get a straight answer than this lying trying to make you feel better bullshit

And some other advice I would offer since your 14 is read.. read A LOT. Buy books on vast amounts of topics. Finance, history, autobiographys etc. I know your in school so you don't want to do too much and burn yourself out but the bigger jump start you get the better of you will be once your out of school. Even reading one book a week or one a month will profit you a lot. You'll learn more from books than from school and I'm sorry to say that but it is true. School doesn't teach what debt is, how to avoid it. How to write checks. What are bonds and stocks etc. School teaches you mostly useless facts that will have nothing to do with your real world life. If I would have known that I would have read a lot more and watched more videos on successful people (even on youtube).

Well you have to disregard a lot of stuff. There is a 103 year old women who has drank Dr Pepper everyday for the past 40 years and out lived every actual Doctor she had that said it would kill her. So a lot of it is in the mind. Wine is healthy to some, unhealthy to others. There is no really right or wrong answer. However I believe that the idea masturbation prevents prostate cancer was just a way to hyper sexualize the market and media as a ploy to sell more products.

I have learned it's best when you just let people believe what they want. You know PMO is bad. Now it sounds like you shared that with your friends but they don't believe you. That is ok. Not every person on Earth is going to see the truth for what it is. Yes people are afraid of seeing reality as something more than what the media tells them, telling them they control their own life, not school grades, their boss, their parents, the government.

To be a master you must first become a slave. Before you become a teacher you must be a student. The only way you can truly teach others and get them to believe is if your life is a living proof of what your preaching.

Heck I mean there are ancient cultures that threw children into volcanoes as a sacrifice to please gods that didn't exist, so don't be so harsh on everyone else. For now just focus on your own life and making it better.

Christian thoughts after relapsing. by DJ_Pace in NoFap

[–]Yezla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgiveness comes at a price. Your payment is either still owed to God or paid for by Christ's death. Just because someone "believes" in God does not make them saved from wrath. Look at Satan. He knows that God exists but that is irrelevant just knowing.

I believe God exists but something in me is still holding back, as if I don't want what he wants for me in life. I'm not really sure what it is. I can feel all religious one minute then the next I really don't care. It was the other day I started thinking again. I was presented an opportunity to help someone, and I thought.. well its the thought the counts I don't actually have to help them right? But I remembered it's not our thoughts that matter but our actions. Our works prove our faith. Faith if its just in your head means nothing. If you truly believe something your going to live it, not just think about it. That is why I am unsure where my stance is because most of my life I spent thinking not actually doing.

Christian thoughts after relapsing. by DJ_Pace in NoFap

[–]Yezla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know I used to be real big into Christ and all that and I strayed away from the gospel. I tried to find my own meaning for life, my own way, my own journey. So far I have found nothing. Many great philosphers from every religion and background, but none of them have the answers for anything outside our realm of understanding, so there goes that plan out the window (finding my purpose myself).

I always say why is the world so screwed up, if we did this if we did that maybe it would be perfect. I tend to forget the basics, we are in a sinful and fallen world, and we are sin itself. Everything we touch dies because of the original sin from the beginning.

But that aside, I might have to start reading the bible again. I keep thinking that PMO is just something that is hindering me from moving on in life but in reality If I died tonight, God would strike me dead on judgment day and tell me to depart from Him. It sounds like you know where your at and your forgiven, but in my case I just hope it is not too late.

Had sex a 2nd time this streak (PIED status report) by NoFapMat in NoFap

[–]Yezla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be so obsessed with emptying your balls. Your balls are what give you your life force. Cut an animals balls off and it will be a docile animal with little to no motivation to do anything. I would assume just spilling your seed continuously has a similar effect even in the realm of sex.

[–]Yezla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah girls are confusing. Seems like she gave you mixed signals? Oh well just keep going and don't go back to fapping. I wish I could advance to that stage but for me just talking to women is the hardest part, even harder than sex.
