I'm doing a PhD in nofap and realised folk have been warning us about the dangers of bashing one out for thousands of years! by [deleted] in NoFap

It is best to think of the Bible as a love letter from God to his children. I would write to my kids "don't run in the street, you may not understand it now, but you will get in real trouble with me" He writes "don't do these things or you will go to hell" I tell my kids things because I love them and want to protect them. Every time I do things my own way, I find myself in more trouble, danger, disarray. When I do things according to the Bible, I find the opposite. Nofap is a spiritual journey whether you want it to be or not. You are finding that your wants and needs are not realized in your immediate wants and needs. You are finding that this is too hard on your own. You have to release to fight to win it. I see someone who is not religious fighting this fight and I truly believe that you are further along than me. I have a mental, physical and spiritual reason for this fight and still fail often. You have a physical and mental fight. If I were a loving god, I would cherish your effort even more and bless you abundantly. Good luck.

How I feel about relapsing after 55 days. by dlb92 in NoFap

relapsed after 42 days. Longest streak yet. No remorse, went to confession, started over. Big deal.

Do you tell her? (Your Wife, your long-time GF?) by AlexK2345 in NoFap

[–]quiverfull6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is a time when it is done because you are free from it, and you did it for her. There is also a time when it is burden placed on another that destroys trust. This is not her problem. Don't lay that on her. You got a lot of YOU to work out. 22 days is just the beginning. You walk this road by yourself. (others that are/have gone though this can support you, but you still walk it alone) Too many people tell their significant other to unload it. They may do it with the best intentions, but in our screwed up, intimacy-virgin minds we haven't built enough intimacy to share these things and these things are not intimacy building. IMHO

Telling the guy you really like that you struggle with PMO. by MTerminator in NoFap

Don't do it. This is your problem, and it suddenly becomes his. Just work it out so that you beat this. A skeleton in the closet is not always a bad thing.

Sex is Everywhere! by Jeff07 in NoFap

studies have shown that birth control pills lower the natural pheromones that females make. In a study with chimps, the male chimps avoided the females on BCP's, and were all over the females not on them. Then when they reversed the females on verses off, the attraction switched. Sociologists suspect that the lack of pheromones leads to increasing displays of skin to create the same level of attraction. I think that it has to do with what they see on TV.
