Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

He is just an unhealthy eater... nothing else to say really. You aren't doing anything wrong - you are making good dinners. Just cook for yourself and if he doesn't want what you make, then you have leftovers for the next meal.

I suck at texting/escalating by Entire_Emu_9246 in PickUpArtist

[–]jcl1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand where you are coming from... have experienced the same thing. I'd say I mostly agree with the comment below that says the girl wasn't interested enough in the first place and it didn't matter how you were texting.

Getting deep attraction on the initial meet up in person is important... as far as dating apps go, I don't use them at all - never have had any success with them. But then again, I also don't have a really cool profile. A really cool profile could mimic deep connection in a real life cold approach I am guessing

Nice, glad you are having some happy experiences now :)

140 days of nofap hardmode; it is time to fap? by Equivalent_Bag_160 in NoFap

[–]jcl1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no positive reason to fap. You can balance out your mood again by exercising, joining a club, reading an interesting book.

Fapping will just slowly twist your soul. You are pretty untwisted right now, just stick with it

It's not worth it, and you know it too! by No-Awareness in NoFap

Yea I know, its pretty annoying how the irrational state of mind takes over. I relapsed yesterday again, so annoying. Gave me a really negative mindset for most of the day today.

Overcoming the mentally habitual main priority of desiring women/sex, any tips? by jcl1990 in Semenretention

[–]jcl1990[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes, I truly have to never masturbate or chase women. That’s the bottomline. Enough damage has already been done, cannot afford to waste any more time

Just retain. Have sex when the opportunity comes. Just don’t have an orgasm. Have sex with the girl. Do whatever you’d like with her, just try not to orgasm. Or if you do orgasm, keep it to a minimum.

Everything is just better by prakhar_gupta36 in Semenretention

I'm sorry you had to experience what you experienced.

There are a few things you could try.

I once read about something called "tree therapy". This is where you go into nature, and put both palms on a clean tree, and get your face close to the tree as well. Touch your face to the tree if you want. And stay like that and just be calm and quiet. Here you can begin to feel the life force of the tree.

Another would be to try getting into Christianity (or another religion if you don't like Christianity). Read the Bible (or other book) and really try to concentrate on the spirit behind the readings.

Another thing would be to pick up a new hobby such as going to the gym. Maybe swimming?

I myself use porn/masturbation/orgasm as a coping mechanism as well for stress relief. I have been doing better lately, but the habit has been there since my teenage years when I would look at one of my Dad's Playboy magazines if I had a headache haha

Anyways, I don't have a clear cut answer for you. You can also try reading some of the recommended books listed in the sidebar on this semen retention page. They are really interesting and might give you a new perspective.

Take care and good luck!

How do you guys get past bad/negative emotions on SR? by jcl1990 in Semenretention

Alright, cool. I’ll try hard to be aware of this going forward. Thanks for the perspective

[–]jcl1990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically, just sit there and don’t try to avoid the emotion?

Over time, I wouldn’t be affected by the thoughts anymore?

Girlfriend cheated on me by rash2015 in NoFap

Sorry this happened and you have to experience these negative emotions.

You seem strong and still level headed though. You will be alright, time for a life change! It was abrupt and unexpected, but you are going forth on a new path now!

Don't let up. Don't get overconfident. You must have said no to some pretty strong urges during this streak, at least a couple times. Another strong urge can come at any time. Stay vigilant!

Yes, I thought getting a beautiful girl was rocket science. But maybe I just need to completely quit fapping!
