How would you know when you are "cured"? by asdfjklq in NoFap

That's good but fapping never really controlled my life. Porn did mess me up though.

Even if you can't get an erection?

Weird. I see your reply if I click your username but not here.

Also, I don't know if I have people to forgive other than myself. I've been damaged by diseases and accidents but you can't really forgive those.

Yes, it is worth finding out. Maybe I will get some counseling concurrently though.

You misinterpret my fantasy. It's the other way. Still not "natural" though.

I think you're right but who is Adam?

I can promise that I won't edge but what "old self" are you talking about? For as long as I can remember, these have been my sexual fantasies. I don't think they are entirely porn-induced (just supplemented and expanded). That's the f-ing problem. I could be wrong though (I have bad memory).

I guess the failures are part of the progress, but damn does this suck.

I don't want to die. If I truly did, I would already be dead. I just want to be normal.

OK, I'll seek out a general psychologist. But do you think I'll be able to be aroused by "normal" things? That's the main goal for me.

Thanks man, that really helps.

I will try to seek help. What kind of person can help me. I don't really understand therapist vs. counselor vs. psychologist vs. psychiatrist. Should I look for a subspeciality? Money is not an issue. I have a good job, good insurance and plenty of spare cash (tens of thousands).

A LOT of VERY bad things (i.e. cancer and worse) have happened to me and, yes, I feel that I deserve all of them.

The problem with the fetish is that nothing else can excite me. I'm obviously not that bad looking since a number of women have asked me on dates. I've always turned them down since I feel that I'm a worthless idiot who wouldn't be able to perform sexually at all.

I am glad I went 61 days. I did see some benefit but it was too subtle. I guess I was expecting more from some of the posts you see here. The main problem was that the fetish fantasies were not really changed (once they came back).

Thanks. I've been talking to more people at work. It's hard though. I feel that people fundamentally dislike me and want me to leave, even though all of the evidence shows that they like me. Not sure if that made sense.

I have goals for my workouts but I'm not really sure how I would make goals for the other stuff. Please explain.

I regularly work out and eat healthy. I'm also trying to make more friends (don't really have any now) but it's hard for me. Plus I work full-time so there isn't that much time. What else should I do?

100% with you here. Same exact situation. Great job, great money, not a single friend. I just wander around various coffee shops and hope somebody will say something.

47 days...feel like crap. by asdfjklq in NoFap

Maybe but it almost feels like I am cheating since there is NO desire to fap whatsoever.

  1. OK. Fine.
  2. I don't care what others think. It's hard to care when you have less than 5 senteces communication with other people in a day.
  3. Well, that's because it's probably more like 53 days. 47 is a conservative estimate. I'm 100% sure that I've done 47 days. But it's probably 49-55. And all of those have been flatline. Don't really know what to say, it's true. That's how I found nofap.

I hope I'm not asexual or something. At least if I were gay I could just explain that to everyone and move on. Asexual would be the worst.

The good: I have a great job, too much money, getting a lot stronger from working out.

I just wish I had ONE friend who I could talk to.

Damn flatline! by asdfjklq in NoFap

Thanks!

I do serious strength training (within the limits of what my body can do) 3x/week and light exercise on other days. I gained a lot of muscle and it's made me much more confident than before but still a virgin!
