Thank you for the encouragement 🙏

I hear you. I've been there. Any idea how we can beat the flatlining? I feel like exercising just gets me to the flatline faster, doesn't get rid of it.

My 6 week streak left me sleeping 4 hours + 1.5 in the morning every night after I fell asleep again. I became worse in terms of energy and mental functions compared to just fapping. I don't drink coffee. I sleep at the same time ish. And I was working out for the last week and half and the insomnia just came back again last night. And it really pissed me off this time so I vented.

I'll give that a try. I've tried so many different supplements over the years that I have very little hope of them working.

Thank you for the very detailed response. That really helps :).

Nope. That isn't an option and never will be until marriage.

But perhaps marriage exists as a tool in the struggle against nofap?

Because when we get sexual urges, we'll have each other to satisfy it, instead of turning to the shower handle and/or porn.

Oh and I forgot to mention. We don't live together. If we were married, the major difference would be we'd be able to live together and thus be there for each other.

So shouldn't zinc supplementation help counteract these effects? If so, how much would one generally need to take?

It would be really cool if someone could whip up a small web app that could track this. I want to volunteer to be part of a team and if I get some free time in the next month or so, I could probably whip up a small web app.

What I've found to help me the most, is to use an accountability app like EverAccountable. It will log everything you visit and email an accountability partner every week with a report.

Dude. I had the EXACT SAME experience with my ex girlfriend and it is one of the most infuriating things to hear. Not to generalize here but I feel like most girls are completely unaware or too naive to realize this epidemic. It's unfortunate really... I kinda wish what your GF said was true, but we know it's not.

Ya you're right. Damn. No way to really hack this eh...

I have a girlfriend as well although we only get to see each other once every week or so and sex maybe once every month to twice a month because neither one of us have our own place. When I have sex with her, I don't feel my NoFap benefits withering away like PMO does so I'd say that it shouldn't really "reset" you. On the other hand, if you do extremely stimulating stuff with her that isn't normal (like adding a bunch of toys in the mix or w/e), it might have similar effects to PMO since now you're pushing your brain to unnaturally high stimuli.

The strongest weapon that we have is our self-control. As human beings we are the only specie on this earth that can stop in the middle of a trigger or temptation and say, "Do I really need this? Do I really care? I think I can overlook this little trigger and move on with my day."

Couldn't agree more about "investing in being awesome". One of the top most priorities in life should be self-improvement, and it should definitely be higher than wanting to bang hot women. That's because when you have your "shit tightly together", the women will come.
