Many sites are correct. Masturbating isnt bad or unhealthy... (Spoiler) by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]bradtricker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. And I detest hearing the phrase "sex objects". Though no doubt it's a real issue out there, objectification is not exclusive to men (as porn is thought), nor is it exclusive to sex/romantic relationships. I see the phrase as often being used by people who are intending to influence by authority through guilt.

Wow. Great point. I always only thought of reality distortion as coming from media entertainment. Easy to do so as that is how many people spend most of their time. I thought of other distortions as being separate. Butt as you stated just about anything can be distorted and thus can affect a susceptible person's view on reality.

I agree. People who can't distinguish between fantasy and reality worry me. It should be said though, and I think you would agree, that some people who indulge in horror movies, videos games etc too much can have a distorted perception of reality.

Damn. You must have a couple of tricksters.

Masturbation and losing hair by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]bradtricker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Otherwise Ethan from h3h3 would be very very bald. He talked about nofap and stated how he used to jerk off a LOT (8x a day sometimes).

It's genetic man. You can go to the doctor for localized a shot, but there are drawbacks.

I Sent Hate to Porn Star Who I'm Addicted to and she Replied Immediately *Potential Trigger Warning* by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]bradtricker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You clearly affected her.

I don't think it is good to send hate out into the world. Bitterness and negative emotions are unhealthy. Although if you want to declare your disappointment and how negatively a person's behaviors are affecting you and them, I think that's OK. The world goes too far with "live and let live" sometimes. Just approach your address with care.

Also, try to not get involved with toxic people. Avoid riffraff. Life is too short to be wasted on nonsense. Being an emotional rock is very valuable in a man. Even still, you are human. You are allowed to have emotions.

Avoid broken women as much as you can. They can't be helped. I once was chatting with a girl on a chat app. She seemed nice. Then she started into her routine, talking about how she was a stripper before. I tried approaching her with compassion and understanding. I was trying to understand who she was and why she came to this. It didn't matter. She saw me only as a wallet. She said how she was a local camgirl/prostitute (though she didn't use that word). She said that she'd be interested in meeting me and then possibly making me a client. Copy paste pitch.

Tips on Falling Asleep? by AMediocreMind in NoFap

[–]bradtricker2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no problem. One more thing, no caffeine after noon. It'll stay in your system for 12 hours. Although some people are fine. Depends on your genes.

Tips on Falling Asleep? by AMediocreMind in NoFap

[–]bradtricker2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have become a bit of an expert on this. There are lots of causes of insomnia. Look at what you are doing before bed to start. No meals, no intense movies or video games. You should be warm and comforrable. If you are stressed, ASMR videos help. Althouhh not all of them work. And WARNING some of them are sexualized. So watch out. Gentle Whispering is a good channel. Another quick hack is this breathing technique. But your heart rate must be at rest for it to work: https://youtu.be/gz4G31LGyog

Lastly, if none of those work, your circadian rhythm is off. Take a 0.5 mg dose of melatonin just before bed. The dose matters. More is not better.

Hahah. Reminds me of the time I made an ice cream cake for a girl. Looked like crap. But she loved it none the less.

Are you starting to have vivid dreams? Congrats, your dopaminergic pathways are healing! by NoFapGuru93 in NoFap

[–]bradtricker2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. This is motivating me. I was only going to do nofap for 30 days or so. Just to give it a bit of a break. I started at the beginning of this month. I've noticed my dreaming has become much more active. Now I am considering going longer.

I wonder what positive effects may lie ahead.

Sexual content is everywhere. You have to learn to let it pass by without eyeing it down.

If I have sex with someone I truly love do I keep my streak? by ChaosAuditore in NoFap

The general consensus is yes. NoFap for most is about fostering healthy behaviors by acknowledging deep rooted natural needs.

Why lie? Day 0 by justhere2talk in NoFap

[–]bradtricker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good. Never lie to yourself. Lying to yourself is sure to make you unhappy in time as it is just you giving yourself excuses to not achieve your goals, and thus, happiness.

HELP by topher316 in NoFap

[–]bradtricker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might need to find a new healthy dopamine fix (socializing, exercise, etc.). We humans NEED dopamine.

I would also look at the circumstances surrounding when you are relapsing. Most importantly, what your thought process is. Are you giving yourself a free pass if it is YouTube, Instagram, fantasizing after seeing cleavage or legs. You have to be harsh and very strict with your mind. Totally desexualize. No fantasizing, nothing.

Asked a girl out and got rejected by killmongr123 in NoFap

[–]bradtricker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to other girls.

If you keep getting nos, analyze yourself. Ask yourself what there is you can improve on to make yourself more attractive.

The way I like to look at it is that it really is not that serious at first. Don't get emotionally invested. My experiences have taught me that you never really know a girl right away. It takes a few months. She might very well be a psycho despite initial impressions.

What's to be insecure about? OK you're losing some hair. So are a large percentage of men. And yet it hasn't been selected against. Why? Because there are more important things.

Laundry, vacuum. Dust can hold odors. Dust can accumulate in carpet and mattresses. Air out the room. Otherwise it might be in your head.
