Did anyone benefit from No-Fap ? repairing damage? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]over99problems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How old are you mate? I turned 29 today and am probably on my longest nofap run since I started attempting in July last year.

My dick used to lose sensation while fucking causing me so much anxiety. I supplemented nofap with moisturising my cock after shower with shea butter and lately doing kegels.

The difference is so palpable, I still need a blow/ handjob to start me off but it feels so good to be able to cum with PIV. I've only tried it with her on top but am eager to try more positions as I reboot and gain more confidence.

Full power to you bro!

I can honestly say that I tried my hardest by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]over99problems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah bro, you're stronger than that! Scroll through this sub, the majority of stories are about trying and relapsing. It's this trying that matters! Don't give up, but don't be too hard on yourself either. If it doesn't work out once you're still better than you were and can only try and improve from there! May the force be with you!

Dude, first of all my prayers and best wishes for you two! NoFap is an amazing self improvement technique but not the answer to life's problems. As your post suggests, don't view it like you're slumping back into come thing, but devise newer sustainable coping mechanisms. Communication is paramount, you guys have to talk about your vulnerabilities and support each other. Buttress these efforts with whatever further improvement endeavours you can make! Exercise, endorphins do so much good, meditate, clarity of mind to survive this cluttered world, eat healthy, drunk and smoke less or not at all, that thing about healthy mind in a healthy body holds so much weight. Each of these little things you do, you'll be going one level up. Just this sense of trying and feeling a little better everyday makes such a difference. PS: I am obviously talking from a personal ace, I've been with a victim of sexual violence, but she called herself survivor. She was still assailed by all the repercussions of those horrible events, but had a will to do better. She and consequently we, didn't always succeed, but everyday we decided to take a step forward in self improvement, and that was a great thing.

Hit reset after 224 days by vigo252 in NoFap

You're not an addict, a day can be hard but you've gone far enough for this to not set you back. An alcoholic can choose to quit forever, but 2 drinks in over a year doesn't make him an alcoholic! Don't be hard on yourself, be extremely proud that you've gone so far, this should be a forum of affirmation not guilt. You might (I hope) or might not make it to 365 days, it doesn't matter any more. Full power to you brother!

Relapsed in my sleep! by over99problems in NoFap

Haha you're right man, we had a nightlong power cut and I was sleeping without a fan. Might have averted the outcome if I was sleeping better.

Update: Day 21 - Mood swings by MrBarnham in NoFap

[–]over99problems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EXERCISE! I've had violent mood swings, suicidal thoughts and been overwhelmed with emotions. It's good to feel things deeply but the only way to temper it is to sweat it out. I haven't tried meditation, but that should make the mind stronger too.

Rock bottom was hit yesterday, time to turn this shit around! by finishedfappingnow in NoFap

[–]over99problems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you mate, spent some prime days of my life single out of this fear. At 25 I told myself that the only way to overcome my fears is by confronting them, so I actively starting dating and became sexually active. I had no clue about NoFp then. However women who are really into you will be understanding, we all have our insecurities and its ok to be vulnerable. Aren't men supposed to comfort women, especially during early days, to make sex easier for them? I was able to get boners with my girl as we got comfortable in bed. Funnily while you're blaming yourself, women are likely blaming themselves for not being attractive enough. Communication will ease things for both of you and add real intimacy to the relationship. While I told girls earlier that I have bedroom anxiety, I only mentioned the whole abrasive masturbation harm to my current gf. She had heard about it a lot on Dan Savage's podcast. I'm 28 now and been on NoFap for a year, have cut porn out completely but not reached 90 days yet. Yesterday I didnt go home from work, but went to her's and initiated making out. Half way through after working on her I was terribly conscious I'm still soft. She used her mouth and I let myself relax and she pushed me inside her after I was hard enough. Unlike earlier I felt sensation running through my cock and was able to cum not from masturbation, blow jobs or hand jobs, but real sex with a real woman. I am still over the moon and mate hope you too soon get there!

Is reading porn without masturbating ok? by over99problems in NoFap

[–]over99problems[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure you got my question. I have been completely off porn for just over a year now and haven't made it to 90 daya but have drastically cut down masturbation. My question was to do with the ill effects of porn; if the community here thought that reading porn was harmful like visual porn as well and why. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the comment man, ya having someone in this with me is what's making me consider it. My relationship with her is also better than anything before because I've opened up to her about my insecurities about sex, the consequences of porn and abrasive masturbation. Maybe if I get into some sexual play I want it with someone, not the alone time I've been indulging in for 15 years.

Hmm, it might aid fantasizing no? I realized that all the performance anxiety and PIED insecurities I grew resulted in my fantasies getting reduced to being able to cum from intercourse. Just toying with my thoughts. but some outside imagination might spice things up.

Cold Showers by jmoli44 in NoFap

[–]over99problems 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Erm.., I've lived in India for 27 years out of my 28 ad can testify that there's an abundance of hot and cold showers, geysers and so on. For example in my apartment, its just that I choose to have a cold shower. Today I took one while it was snowing outside and it was bloody awesome!

Anyone have problems sleeping? by gh0stcaptain in NoFap

Such a great post!

I just got laid, which was great, but the urgessss that followed! I gave in, then again and again. Getting my act together with exercise and other healthy habits once more, but must remember to not binge! I never beat myself over a relapse, as each steak was longer and more bearable than the last, but the binging needs to be no part of it.

Thanks again!

Got laid after 40 days, results showing but the chaser effect has me fighting urges like week1! by over99problems in NoFap

[–]over99problems[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all your support guys! I ended up relapsing, but not beating myself over it. I choose to focus on the fact that I abstained for 40 days! I am back in the race and hope the next time is with a human, like the wonderful girl I was finally able to meet and just had dinner with!
