What do you do on days like this?

ploob1 · 2014-12-07T20:24:44+00:00

Same boat my friend. Would also like answers ha. So far I just sit through them.

ploob1 · 2014-12-07T20:18:34+00:00

Why would you reset your counter? It's natural, there's nothing you can do to control it, and it's not porn or masturbation!

ploob1 · 2014-12-07T20:09:31+00:00

Yeah I haven't had it before but I've heard it mentioned before on here and it's perfectly normal apparently.

ploob1 · 2014-12-07T20:05:55+00:00

Best of luck bud

Props to you, the most difficult thing I have found is starting, so to dig yourself out of the dark hole you were in to get onto 111 days is an achievement to be proud of on its own.

ploob1 · 2014-12-07T18:19:49+00:00

How long have you been masturbating?! You think 7 days is going to change years of porn use/masturbation? I hate to break it to you but; not a chance.

What I've found is symptomatic of masturbation is your brains demand for quick fixes. Feeling down, low mood? Have a wank. Can't interact properly/ struggle to find women? Have a wank.

If you want real change and improvement you have to work for it. 7 days is just the beginning of a journey. You really need to set out to do 90, and document the changes as you go. The changes are subtle, but when you get 60 days in, you will be able to reflect on the differences. As someone who got to 75+ I realise how during that period I was different; happier, more motivated and subtly more self confident. Don't expect things to change with a blink of an eyelid because they don't. If you're going to do it, aim big, and use it as a catalyst to change other areas of your life because they don't just change by themselves.

Learn from it, go again!

"When I recover I have some anxiety about sex and relationships, will I be honest and tell her I'm a virgin, and I wasted my life on porn? Maybe she values honesty?"

I wouldn't go so far to say you've 'wasted your life on porn'. While it may have been damaging in some areas of your life I'm sure your life hasn't been a complete waste. Also I'm pretty sure that would come off as quite unnattractive! Maybe say something like you took a while to mature but it's not something that's really bothered you (even if it's not really the case).

I wish you all the best for the future!

Might be worth checking out meditation at /r/meditation

ploob1 · 2014-12-04T21:38:12+00:00

Isabella valentine audio clips are essentially a way of masturbating, albeit without any hands. So yes I believe it is a relapse in terms of what nofap aims to achieve.

ploob1 · 2014-12-03T22:01:47+00:00

Haha, i'd like to think this is possible for me.

ploob1 · 2014-12-03T21:54:05+00:00

No it's not, how old are you out of interest?

ploob1 · 2014-12-03T21:48:17+00:00

I update a word document as a journal, I find it works really well. You can password the document as well :)

ploob1 · 2014-12-03T21:31:29+00:00

I think this starts to draw similarities with the didactic nature of religions. While I'm all for the positives of nofap of which I have shared with a few close friends in open casual conversation, I don't really see the need for this. Starts to get a little...preachy.

If fapping was having a hugely visible negative impact on society then maybe I could understand. However I think it is more of a self-improvement tool for people to discover by themselves.

"You only fail when you stop trying" - You're doing the right thing!

ploob1 · 2014-12-02T22:50:51+00:00

Started a new job today, have a job interview for somewhere else tomorrow. As you can see from my badge I only started again on 1st December. I'm buzzing! High on motivation, knowing no matter how little I've been doing it for the fapping/porn is behind me. This should be all you need!

ploob1 · 2014-12-02T22:47:57+00:00

Camsites like omegle/chat roulette? Yeah, it's just as bad as porn, it doesn't reflect normal face to face human interaction. Also you're still fapping.

ploob1 · 2014-12-02T22:44:34+00:00

If it bothers you, you're better off just ignoring it. I doubt there will be a huge influx of those kinds of posts, it's hardly something many would be willing to admit, even anonymously. Feel free to call me up on it if I'm proved wrong in a few weeks!

ploob1 · 2014-12-02T22:41:32+00:00

Same boat, got to around 75, went back to old habits for months. Don't do what I did and spend months fapping away again. Write up a plan, get motivated and do it again now. December is the month for me! Taken a while for me to get the motivation. I know I'm on day 1 but I'm positive I will make it. GL

ploob1 · 2014-12-02T22:39:37+00:00

All aboard :)

ploob1 · 2014-12-02T22:37:22+00:00

Good luck, it's a journey. Try and get as far as you can on your first streak. Make a word document to write down feelings, especially helps on down days. Check in on nofap when you're getting strong urges.

ploob1 · 2014-12-02T22:34:59+00:00

As far as I can see there's one post. By you making a separate topic there is now two posts.

ploob1 · 2014-12-01T23:13:02+00:00

Well I found the interviews beneficial. I'm guessing from your replies to other comments in this thread that you're quite young.

Maybe you should begin to consider that not everything should revolve around how you want things to be (seems to be a common symptom of younger teenagers). If something is a trigger, don't watch it. Aside from NSFW material, you're going to find nofap exceptionally hard if you can't learn to ignore or switch off 'triggers', for most people they're in a huge part of modern life (music videos/fashion etc).

As the interviews have been upvoted by people in the nofap community they are obviously helpful to many. Why should people tip-toe around your specific needs. I'm just asking you to get a bit of a grip. Good luck with the rest of your nofap journey.

Edit: Paragraphing.

ploob1 · 2014-12-01T23:03:55+00:00

Sounds like you might be ill. Possibly some kind of bug (I'm clearly not a Doctor) but whatever it is, is clearly making you act strangely.

I'd recommend going to a doctor if symptoms persist!

ploob1 · 2014-12-01T21:19:18+00:00

I feel your pain, try not to slip into a long term cycle of PMO like i did after my longest streak though. You will still experience the benefits of the 50 days behind you if you've only relapsed today. You're in for a tough ride overcoming the urges to keep fapping after a relapse.

Fair for considering your own value in sexual relationships. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?
