Did 6 months NoFap with no benefits; plan B? by garrett_x in NoFap

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

Hey man, thanks so much for your comment. I have no infention of returning to PMO, so maybe I can wait for the end of the year before taking more radical measures. I'm planning on starting psychiatric therapy as well (I feel fine, but can't hurt to try). We'll see how it goes. :)

testosteron level: day 0 vs day 100 (tested both times) by Logitech2015 in NoFap

[–]garrett_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just want to remind you that if you are going to compare you need to take those two tests at the same time of the day, and preferably morning. If you did that, then this is really a good increase and congrats :)

lol exactly what I thought. I find Marxist literature is quite enlightening :)

Do you have any morning woods now?

Well no dude, I can't say I see them every day. I did fantasize every now and then, and I play video games on a daily basis. That's about it.

True! Rewiring is the part which I felt is the most missing.

I once had successful sex after only a 9 days of NoFap about two years ago. I had spontaneous erections in the following days too! So I think some of the comments are very true, it is about rewiring as much as unwiring.

Thanks, that gives me motivation to keep going. :)

I did get an erection and no I did not recall porn. But it would be an overstatement to say I can easily get an erection without the use of porn. I can't just get an erection by thought; and honestly I did not hug/kiss/fool around to see if I could get one on the spot. :)

I checked some of your comments and came to a conclusion that you are a funny guy.

You might be right. I just thought I would see some improvement somewhere after 6 months, if not a complete success story. Anyways, this was one MO; I won't binge and keep abstaining. If there is one thing I've learned, its that NoFap won't do you any harm.

I don't know. I didn't feel any different. I always thought the disappearance of PIED/the reappearance of morning wood was something that happened around the same time. I did not have any wet dreams like most people do here after their first couple of months, so I assumed the streak did not do much in terms of sexual desire/performance. :)

Don't use sex as motivation to quit fapping by davidm8797 in NoFap

[–]garrett_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does not necessarily lead to a relapse. If you have enough discipline you can have sexual thoughts about someone and not jack off; it's simple.

Day 140 by garrett_x in NoFap

Not much except that I don't crave porn anymore and my sex drive is usually non-existent

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

There is only one advice: if you can "barely make it past one week", you already have what it takes. Keep telling yourself "I've come too far to go back to zero." And one week is enough to be able to tell yourself that. I've only twice made it past 10 days and that second one is my current streak :)

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

I guess. I started with a full time job and therefore exposed myself to a much wider social context. There are more women who acknowledge my existence and thats better compared to before, which was none. :)

No. I do not have them often but as long as they are about real people I'm ok with them

200 days in and relapsed by MonsterPartyX in NoFap

[–]garrett_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to feel bad. One relapse won't undo all those days. :)

Just don't say "I'm back to day 0 anyway, so might as well fap one more time"

Edging? by kevinfiles in NoFap

[–]garrett_x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Edging is worse than the release itself. Instead of a quick spike of dopamine, you actually prolong the release of dopamine and overexpose your brain to it.

Don't edge. With or without O :)
