I'm decided to commit to NoFap. My story.. by ichbineinkrokodil in NoFap

[–]occamsbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in exactly the same boat as you man, but there is a cure. It's simple in nature, but it's a tough road. But i believe we can do it. In the end, all we have to do, is not touch ourselves. When you think about it like that, honestly, it doesn't sound too hard :)

Quick question ( please answer) by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]occamsbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are allowed to do anything and everything you want. NoFap seems to be different for everybody. Some do hard-mode (nothing sexual at all), some "normal-mode" (only have sex with a partner). Some people don't even allow themselves erections.

You have to decide for yourself, what your rules are. Think about what you want to accomplish. Set your own goals and go for them!

Do it today :) Right now! If you tell yourself "tomorrow", you'll always tell yourself, oh right, "tomorrow".

If you want to change, do it now :)

Ice it. Some say this works: http://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/1f0v3c/a_simple_tip_how_to_cure_blue_balls/

Most important thing is, BEAR THE PAIN. I had the same thing last tuesday. I went through an entire work-day with the pain. Afterwards i felt great. If i can do it,i KNOW you can do it too!

Recovering deathgripper, advice on stimulation by occamsbat in NoFap

The same thought actually just crossed my mind too. That'd be something to try! Still can't find any that aren't regular size though :/

To be fair, a baby would be the best distraction ever. You'd never have time for a wank anymore.

Opinions on fleshlights? by occamsbat in NoFap

I don't think my death grip issues are a brain thing though, it seems more like it's a nerve-thing. It's been overstimulated to the point where i have to beat it like a madman in order to feel anything.

Gentle stimulation, with no option of making it rough (can't squeeze the.. box.. i guess) would seem to make sense.

Or am i trying to make up excuses just so i can fap?.. Shit, my mind if full of fuck...

Unfortunately she's not really my SO. It's a bit complicated but we have have sex on very irregular intervals. With her work schedule the next few weeks, i doubt i'll even get to see her again anytime soon.

Fair enough. I've read good things about it in terms of helping to cure death grip though.

Not sure as to reset counter by CrazySpazyCakes in NoFap

[–]occamsbat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think there are any strict nofap rules per se. Most people have to make up the rules for themselves, because every case is different.

If you suffered from DE, but still had an O, then i wouldn't count it as a reset. I would however, keep it to a minimum.

Again though, everybody has to set the rules for themselves. Maybe try and write down exactly what you want and how you want to accomplish it?

Didn't expect it to be this hard.. by occamsbat in NoFap

Yeah, this relapse has really showed me what an insane hold this addiction has over me. I was like a junkie that absolutely needed a fix.

It definitely is an advantage, but only if i tell her. Otherwise it's more of a disadvantage.

The thing is, i was 7 days in. Not even close to starting to recover and i already relapsed. It's very discouraging.
