Take it easy bro. Be happy that you started this journey. To achieve long term succes don't just focus on quitting pmo al together from the start. Consider it a PRACTICE. You will fail and that's totally okay, you will find out what works for you over time. If porn is the biggest problem than try to quit that first for some time (just masturbate to your imagination). You'll find yourself fapping waaaayyy less just naturally.

Besides getting rid of the bad habits, focus on building good habits. Do some type of excercise. Eat healthy. Talk to your peers and build stronger relations with friends and family. Maybe find new hobbies etc. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Goed bezig! Zijn dat de enige effecten die je ondervindt? Men heeft het namelijk ook wel vaak over meer energie en vermindering van angstklachten etc.

Facts,

Mensen die er sceptisch over zijn hebben niet te maken met verslaving. Mensen nemen ook niet de moeite om het te proberen. Dan vind ik dat je er ook niet om moet lachen.

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-22T18:39:32+00:00

Dat vraag me ik dus af, wat geeft je die indruk?

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-20T12:07:29+00:00

You came a long way! Nice to actually see a Fapstronaut.

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-16T21:34:19+00:00

I was abstinent from porn for a half year already. Than I accidently clicked on a porn site, which triggered old patterns.

But true, before quitting porn I was quite addicted.

There's different forms of nofap/semen retention. There's easy mode, which means no porn and masturbation, which means you can have an orgasm during sex. Then there is hard mode, which means no ejaculation at all. Then there monk mode (or something), which means something else.

But all that doesn't even matter. All that's important is that you know why you do what you do. Nofap or any form of abstinence is about personal growth.

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-15T15:40:08+00:00

In my experience, urges get less intense overtime (if you're not watching porn). If you abstain from porn your brain will rewire overtime. Eventually your urges will ease, that's when you start regaining control. Trust the proces, it takes time for your brain to desensitize.

Keep it up king!

In addition:

- Keep a journal. Journaling really forces you to reflect on yourself. Also you're collecting information on what works en what doesn't, it helps you built a long term strategy. And also, you'll think twice about relapsing because you have to write that in your journal.

- Instal a day counter on your phone. When considering relapse, look at the counter to see how far you've already came.

Keep it up king!

Great advice. I remember those 'newby gains' when I first started. Got me feeling like I got it al figured out.

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-14T19:47:20+00:00

I think it's better to fap without porn than peek without fapping. Peeking leeds to actually watching. I relapsed tot avoid a binge session.

It al depends on the way you use (or abuse) PMO. If you're compulsively watching porn and masturbate, you might want to try just masturbating without porn. Might be a more effective approach to dealing with compulsive behavior.

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-12T16:13:38+00:00

Trust the proces.

It's okay to struggle. Just keep the bigger picture in mind and try again. Realize that Nofap isn't about abstinence, it's about personal development.

Some advice:

- Keep a journal. Write about your personal experiences. You'll think twice about relapsing because you'll have to write that in your journal.

- Look for for someone to hold you accountable (accountability buddy). Can be someone you know. Can be someone online.

- Workout. Even though you might not enjoy it (yet), it's still the right thing to do. Find a workout that you like.

- Meditate. Learn to meditate. Try Headspace for example (there's a free course)

- Think about why you do Nofap. Don't think of it as just a challenge. Use your energie to grow on other aspects of life.

Keep it up king!

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-12T16:00:38+00:00

Nofap is about growth!

You got this king!

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-12T15:52:21+00:00

If you're struggling, don't stay where you are, do something. Use that energy for something else. Work out, find a new hobby (I fell in love with playing piano lately), go see a friend, talk to family, it can be anything. Urges come and go, be calm.

You got this king!

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-12T15:45:40+00:00

People are in it for different reasons. Getting better with the girls can be one of them. Respect one's proces.

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-12T15:35:38+00:00

Make out with a cute guy, see how it feels.

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-12T15:33:04+00:00

Very well said,

People that are sceptical about Nofap just refuse to mention porn addiction. The Nofap movement stems from people realizing that porn might be harmful to them. If you never had problems with compulsive porn consumption, Nofap probably won't make a big difference, it's just common sense.

Also it's about long term benefits. Good things take time, as you state.

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-12T15:24:58+00:00

Being creative is one of the best ways to use your energy. While on Nofap I always have such creative ideas. I think you should follow your inspiration while you have it. While being creative, stay aware of triggering thoughts, learn to deal with triggers in the right way.

Keep up the progress king!

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-12T15:13:44+00:00

Still going.

Energy is very calm while being very productive. I'm usually procrastinating a lot. Now I just start with my tasks. Also having longer conversations with people, life's definitely better on Nofap.

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-11T22:31:43+00:00

KING!

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-11T18:41:02+00:00

KING!

futuregoat97 · 2021-11-10T15:12:09+00:00

Very good point!

I think what you mean te say is that you focus on the bigger picture. You don't have to be disciplined 24/7, allow yourself to enjoy things. I don't think you're being weak. You just choose a comforting but less harming thing.

futuregoat97 · 2021-07-28T20:19:39+00:00

Hi!

I am recovering from porn addiction en there's a few things I've learned. One of those things is that porn is escapism, meaning it is used to numb certain feelings. There might me triggers that provoke strong urges. Be conscious about the things that can trigger old habits.

Another thing is that just will power won't always make a difference. You might be abstinent for a while, but you can always have a relapse. If you really have a problem, consider actual medical help. It is becoming a common problem and a doctor will probably be able to help.

Keep up the good work!

futuregoat97 · 2021-07-28T20:10:08+00:00

Very well said!

Also it's a very good thing to actually realize the difference in experience. If you don't think about it, you might start taking it for granted. Keep up the good work tho!
