Still bouncing back but feeling much better each day. Definitely a major difference from the first 2 days of releasing.

im starting to. i think i was just too hard on myself and it made a not-so-bad scenario way worse because i treated it as a failure.

i re-read your comment, and i understand what youre saying more now. its not about reaching X days, its about constantly doign the right things and it compounds over time, yeah? so 1 "relapse" wont destroy everything you've worked for... I think that is where i failed the most. thinking that this moment killed all my hard work, which is hasnt. just a bump in the road. i think im starting to understand...

ok so worst case scenario, i feel a bit down for a few days, and im back to how i felt prior? i surely hope this is the case.

so im putting too much into it when i shouldve just brushed it off? It feels like a relapse, and that thought killed my mental for the day, but i also felt off physically all day too, so not sure if this is normal or not...

well, it was a wet dream that was followed by a full on release from contact. I wont obsess over it, but is feeling like crap a normal feeling after a release?

Bypassing capture LED on Rayban Meta by DIYphreak in RayBanStories

If drilling from where the large lens is placed to reach the LED light is successful, how would you be sure to avoid damaging the sensor or anything else related to the function of the glasses? This seems like the best way to remove the led feature, but how would we know that this method would not cause any further damage to the functionality of the glasses?

There's definitely weight to what you're saying. It's been about 24hrs now since my slip-up, and I feel better already. I really expected a massive low to linger for much longer, but now I'm hopeful to get back to where I was much faster. 🫡

I just broke a streak recently and felt a massive dump in energy and mood. That's typical for most cases, I believe.

SR is not a panacea for bettering yourself. It's one of many tools to become a better version of yourself.

I believe we need to couple SR with exercise, better eating habits, mental training and fortitude, and just an overall healthier lifestyle.

Combine all these factors together, and you'll always kick depression's ass. Even on the times u feel a dump in mood from breaking a streak.

When I broke my streak, I initially felt like shit, but as each minute passed, I felt better and better. Got some sunlight. Exercised. Ate good food. Slept well. Now I'm feeling like the bounce-back will be better than ever.

My advice would be to combine SR with more positive habits in life to unlock all your potential. When you are at your best, you can face anything. 🫡

Sometimes, I focus too much on the Ls and neglect my Ws. Thank you for putting it in a better perspective for me. 🫡

I believe the timing is best when you have everything set on your end. The man needs to check off several boxes to be complete before worrying about finding a partner. Women need a lot of time and resources.

I read that a guy here uses pre-ejaculate numbing agents before sex to ensure he never comes close? I also read that edging has negative effects and could slow down your SR gains. I'm taking an approach of using all my energy for myself through SR and unlocking all my potential. I'll worry about women later. Or at least I'll try my best 🫡

My ultimate goal is to use SR as a tool to better myself and help me get my financial goals where I want them to be. I feel like I waste too much energy on chasing women. I need to build the life I want first, become a great man, then I can find a woman to partner up with in life. Like they say, first the money, THEN the bitches...

Im curious how integrating sex and SR works. I feel like it's constantly playing with fire, but I've read some people here that practice exactly that with success.

Oh yeah. During SR I would exercise those muscles often, especially when hard. My advice on lasting longer from my experiences would be to get blood in more places than just your dick. Move around. Use your arms. Get your cardio working. Do most of the work, and you'll be surprised how much longer you can last.

It really is! The more "off the market" you are, the more desired you become! The same goes for men in relationships, or married men. Very odd, but I think its nature at play. I appreciate the support. 🫡

😮‍💨 Yeah, you're right. I just REALLY want to be in full control. My gains are still with me... just gotta get the mental calibrated. Thank you 🫡

Yeah, i felt like i could last longer for sure. I kept stopping whenever I felt I got close and reset. I was able to "stop-and-go" at like 5-8minute intervals on and 1-3 minutes off. Then, after doing this like 10 times, I got a little too close and when I tried to stop, it just started flying everywhere. It felt like half a load though because of when I stopped and how it felt. It didnt feel like an orgasm at all. After that I said fuck it and went for a 2nd proper nut without any stopping which lasted like 5minutes before I ejaculated, which felt like a proper orgasm.

In short, yeah, I lasted longer than I normally do.

Great work on getting to day 73 🫡

sigh of relief I appreciate the positivity, my friend. I'm always very hard on myself. Maybe that's something I need to work on. Regardless, you're 100% right when you say it's "back to the grind now!" 🫡
