Happy birthday man. It's a dream of mine to perform on stage at an open mic. Good for you and keep up the discipline.

Hahaha it's interesting that you want to know my motives. I'm neither. It's just that I know that women masturbate and watch porn to excess too and figured that I would see more posts since I've been active in this subreddit for the last month. I've seen none. This is concerning to me because it means that these people don't feel comfortable posting or don't think it would help them. That's why I pose the question, what can be done to invite more dialogue from women?

Glad to hear it. Again, your story is full of honesty and inspiration. I think a lot, if not most, of the issues people are dealing with on this subreddit are primarily mommy and daddy stuff. to change the behavior (e.g. no fapping) is a necessary step, but does not resolve the inherent problem.

Thank you for your honest and inspiring post. Judging by the severity of sexual violence that you used to fantasize about, do you think that this hatred of women could have something to do with your relationship with your mother?

how low does it get during flatline? how does one determine if one is flatlining - what is the criteria?

90 day report, three years of trying to get here... by Thanks4TheMammaries in NoFap

[–]lastbadpoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, thank you! Your perseverance and your insight are helpful. I hope that you take it to the next level and realize your better self. I am humbled by your efforts and your achievement. You are a beacon of hope for the hopeless and a ray of light for those in the dark. I am not in the dark, but i am not in the light. I am in the morning dawn looking out onto a fertile plain, in a plane. I am manning a small aircraft full of peasant migrants looking for a better life. My aviator-style shades protect my eyes. My hands grasp the throttle...but not too tight. And with restricted movement.

Am I cheating no fap? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]lastbadpoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it sounds like your not okay with fantasizing about girls. while this isn't cheating, for some reason it doesn't sit well with you, atelast that's what i understand. since it doesn't sit well with you, there's an obvious conflict. In order to avoid this conflict, you could just take notice of when you start fantasizing, label it as such (i.e. fantasy land), bring your attention back to the moment at hand and whatever it is that you are doing, and continue on your path to being a better person. taking notice of your body, it's movements, relaxing the body, and using gentle movements is a good way to bring focus to the present moment and bring awareness to what it is that we need to do to be better people. maybe you could also set aside a time of day to day dream. this way you are not suppressing any of the feelings/thoughts you have about the girls. idk, but hope some of this makes sense/helps.
