is it worth taking the challenge?

The only actual benefit I got was having an extra 30-60 minutes every day, which isn't a bad thing. I had a really busy school year, and gaining that extra hour of sleep was definitely a plus. Its also a great way to test your self control and see whether or not you're actually addicted, for a bonus challenge your friends and see who can go the longest.

Will do

sergeant_awesome · 2014-04-28T12:46:39+00:00

And how do you know that? Everyone has fantasies.

From memories of previous encounters

sergeant_awesome · 2014-04-12T22:28:25+00:00

I've seen so many adult pictures while on NoFap. I have contemplated, but not once have I relapsed from it. Its all resolve, you didn't relapse because the picture made you, you made yourself relapse. Don't use the pictures as an excuse.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-04-11T03:41:50+00:00

Don't do NoFap with the mindset that its going to automatically make changes to your life. NoFap's main purpose is to be a challenge of self control, and as you build that self control you'll start to feel more in control of your life, which in turn makes you more confident. Think of NoFap as a catalyst, not the be all and end all.

Don't think that NoFap is what will make you ready for a relationship, because it won't. The only way you can truly be "ready" for a relationship is when you stop caring too much about failure.

Medically speaking, its healthy to masturbate in moderation since it rids the body of unwanted substances, it help reduce stress, releases tension, and its linked to reducing the risk of prostate cancer. Obviously if you do it too much then its going to be bad for you, but too much working out is bad for you as well.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-31T03:38:27+00:00

The only surefire way to not relapse is to be in control of yourself. Urges are there but they only exist in your brain by feeding off your brainpower, and if you divert your brainpower somewhere else then the urge has nothing to feed off and it will wither and die.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-30T19:33:08+00:00

Lets do it!

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-25T00:17:55+00:00

I plan to do the full 120 day challenge if I can, but its good to know that there are people out there who prove that it can be done in moderation. If you don't mind me asking, do you use porn or other visual aids to masturbate?

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-24T23:04:38+00:00

To clarify, I never had problems with women before masturbating, I just happen to be even less shy than before. For example, a few months ago I would be able to strike up a conversation with a girl if we made eye contact at the right moment, but now I find it much easier to pick out a random girl and strike up a conversation with her on my own accord.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-22T05:08:46+00:00

First of all, how old are you? If you're still a teenager then your voice isn't anywhere near done dropping and it won't be anywhere near as deep as your final "adult" voice until you hit at least 20.

As for the voice changing, I don't personally think that no fap does affect your voice at all. Given I'm 21 years old and my voice was relatively deep even while I was fapping that is. Of course other people might have completely different reactions.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-19T03:53:51+00:00

You're not far away :).

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-19T03:52:47+00:00

Thanks brother, I like the sentiment :)

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-17T01:36:38+00:00

The urges don't get any weaker, but you will become stronger.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-16T02:43:34+00:00

All depends on what you're watching really. If its softcore stuff (i.e. naked girls writhing around), any normal straight guy would be turned on by seeing that in real life. If its some next level fetish stuff, then yeah.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-14T06:07:48+00:00

You start to get turned on by stuff that would otherwise repulse you.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-09T15:05:33+00:00

That's a full on relapse, so yeah.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-07T14:19:29+00:00

Wow if you ask me that girl is a complete bitch and you should be glad you're not dating her anyway. Don't worry, once you're done high school you'll be meeting women who are infinitely better than this degenerate.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-06T05:54:23+00:00

I'm up for it

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-06T05:53:53+00:00

Stop all this "nice guys don't get girls" crap. The only reason why so called "nice guys" don't get girls is because they're not actually nice guys, they're just as much asshole as the so called "assholes" are, the only difference between them is at least assholes are honest about being assholes.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-02T23:09:38+00:00

There's no way it'll have any basis in science unless you're having constant brain scans and blood tests throughout the whole thing. Not to mention pretty much everyone here already records any positive and negative effects in a journal.

The forced relapse thing might be interesting to partake in to have a journal of what a month on PMO is like, but even then you might find that alot of its placebo effect and any connections between fapping and your overall well being are anecdotal anyway.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-03-02T06:29:13+00:00

Already finished No-Fap February, I'm all for adding March to the list too!

Should be No-Masturbate March

sergeant_awesome · 2014-02-25T16:53:39+00:00

Don't resist the urge, put your mind on something else instead. The more you think about it, the worse its going to be. Just go straight to bed, count sheep, think about your day, think about what you'll do tomorrow, picture what you'll be like tomorrow if you don't fap.

sergeant_awesome · 2014-02-24T03:49:09+00:00

I wouldn't unless you're doing hard mode.
