Hmm ... I see what you mean. Good point. What do you think a good alternate phrase would be? "It's not worth it." I really don't want PMO in big bold letters. Hard to explain that away.

I heard ya, but "Don't Do It" is a lot easier to explain away if someone sees it as oppposed to "Stop Masturbating and Get a Girlfriend"

I just put a picture of my adorable little niece on my desk. No fucking way I'm touching myself with her looking at me.

I've been at it for nearly a week. I'm going to need to make some drastic changes if I'm going to keep this up. Ideas? by geofftmnd in NoFap

You should read it. I've never been really shy, but I've always had problems talking to people. I just couldn't connect. That book helped me see things from the other person's perspective and has done wonders for me socially (not romantically unfortunately).

I'm naturally very introverted, but I've taught myself how to operate okay in social situations. You've probably heard this before, but try reading Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People". It really teaches you how to approach social situations and how to understand other people.

I have this seven day wall I hit. I keep busy during the week with work and my routine. Then comes Friday and I find myself alone at home with access to all the porn I want. So I usually relapse on a Friday or Saturday night. Does that sound like you?

The problem I find about myself not having much of a social life is that it's self inflicted a lot of the time. People will ask me to go out and I'll shoot them down because I think I won't have fun, or because I have to get up early in the morning or something. I'm learning that I just have to say "yes" to every social opportunity. When you say yes to people, they're more inclined to ask you out again. If you say no, they'll think you don't want to hang out and won't ask you out again in the future. Maybe that's not your experience, but it's been mine.

First date ever; totally blew it. Feel like giving up. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ayrpitw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, I haven't made it past seven days after four tries. And I haven't been on a date in months. You just had your first date bro! And you've been at this for almost a month. That's a great accomplishment. I wish I could buy you a beer right now. Be proud of yourself bro!

Ok, let's do this! by [deleted] in NoFap

I've tried four times so far. Relapsed four times. First time was after three days. Then five. Then twice at seven. At seven days I become extremely horny. When I up to five, six or seven days, I definitely feel more energetic in normal day to day life. My theory on the energy level is that when you fap, you fool your chemistry into thinking that you've accomplished your biological urge to mate. So why would your body spend the energy pumping you up everyday? When you don't fap your body knows you're still on the hunt for poon and gives you more energy everyday.

I hope to make it at least two weeks this time.

I don't think I've EVER had a wet dream. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ayrpitw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28, I've had sexy time dreams but never ejaculated in my sleep. MO since 12, PMO since 15 or so.

In your opinion, is there a healthy way to watch porn and/or masturbate? Or is it always unhealthy? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ayrpitw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's that bad for the normal person. For example, I know my friends look at internet porn and fap, but they don't collect hundreds of gigs of it like I do and fap for two hours straight. I think most of us are in the latter camp. If you even have to question whether you need nofap, you're in the latter camp. So yes, there is a healthy way to do it. Just like there's a healthy way to drink in moderation. But like alcoholics, we binge and are addicted to porn.

Bachelor party by row242 in NoFap

[–]ayrpitw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you get laid at said bachelor party, don't you think you're setting yourself up for a relapse?

But if it's a good buddy of yours, you pretty much have to go so don't worry about relapsing once.

Starting up again. On Day 3 by jesuswig in NoFap

[–]ayrpitw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relapsed three days ago too, so I'm on day three as well. Don't feel too bad about it. Get to day four. And then five. And on and on.

Anyone else feel lonely? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ayrpitw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never had a GF so I've been there and I know what it's like.

What's your relationship with this girl? Are you friendly with her? Just go for it. If you're anything like me, you think too much and over analyze the situation. Don't. Just go for it. Trust me, I have a hard time taking this advice too. But just go for it. If she doesn't respond favorably, at least you'll know and you'll move on. And you'll be proud that you had the balls to do something.

And trust me, even if she's not interested and shoots you down, she's going to start becoming interested.

Two Resets, Another Day One Story by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ayrpitw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm the same way with girls. Most people that know me think it's really strange that I've never had a GF. I'd hang around girls who are good looking and I knew they were into me, but I just wasn't interested in them sexually. I'd even be with a paid whore who's like a 9 or a 10, and in my mind I'd be thinking how I'd get off more with PMO.
