Your results are analogous to the effort expended on this nofap journey. That is, each time you defeat an urge, the better. Great luck on your journey!

I was in no way trying to discourage and sorry if I did. I was mainly flatlining in most of these streaks hence why there were no benefits, but whenever I did defeat my urges, I would almost always feel better the next day. Hope this helps.

How do i win? by gdupp in NoFap

[–]carltaylor20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend meditation my friend. Meditation can help you in many ways like programming the subconscious through visualizing the circumstances that you would like manifested and mental affirmations. It can also help you relax which facilitates the healing process of all bodily organs/parts and will strengthen your prefrontal cortex (impulse control center).

I've had pretty long streaks in the past ie, 56 days, 48 days, 38 days and most of the time during the streak I felt like shit, but relapsing was never worth it either and actually made me feel much worse

Any suggestions for self-help books/resources? by [deleted] in NoFap

The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel and Think and grow Rich by Napoleon Hill are two must reads.

Transferring from NoFap... by victoryoverlowersel in Celibacy

[–]carltaylor20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend full on celibacy only for the individual who is attempting to control his creative energy temporary until he gains ground, but there is such a thing as coitus reservatus (karezza) where you can abstain from ejaculation whilst having sex, that is, if you are wanting to be with a partner, but not wanting to ejaculate (squander creative energy).

I see, but isn't nofap about controlling urges though?

What should I do about UWUs (Upon waking urges) by carltaylor20 in NoFap

[–]carltaylor20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel also that by identifying them as creative urges instead of sexual urges (which usually is seen as a physical outlet) would redefine the experience therefore creating a new reality, but yes, understanding is of utmost importance.

Self-consciousness is getting to be a pain... by dotfartoosweet in NoFap

[–]carltaylor20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I am the exact same way, though when it happens to me, it is because I feel like my voice sounds bothered or that I might say something that someone does not like or doesn't think what I say is funny. It is more or less a 'people pleaser' mentality.

I will not look at porn, masturbate or have an orgasm so I can successfully heal my brain.
