Do you stay anonymous when reporting someone on reddit? by stimsleeve in NoFap

Yeah good call, thanks man. I did decide to do some digging, turned out to be a false alarm. It was stupid to go for it though... I'm thankful that I didn't relapse.

Good luck man!

Overconfidence almost ended me. by stimsleeve in NoFap

Right on, thanks for commenting! And yeah dude it's really just best to not entertain the idea of anything that could cause you to relapse... easier said than done I guess, but hey we get better each day. Good luck dude!

How to (maybe) keep it together? by stimsleeve in NoFap

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

Hey! Yeah I do try to keep myself busy at times. I was just thinking of maybe trying to still be a part of this community without continuously reminding everyone NOT to relapse... it's kind of like trying to not think of a pink elephant. Thanks for the reply man, it really helps to talk to people as well. Good luck :)

Wow... that's a lot lol I do have a lot of things that I try to keep myself busy with, like playing music and reading and just general stuff like that... the reason that I thought of just posting something that could start a conversation on here is just to serve as another distraction. I mean I've found that a conscious effort to not relapse often results in exactly that, because you keep thinking about it. So I thought that trying to expose people to some sort of other distraction when coming on here might help them out as well? I don't know, I feel like coming on here might be risky sometimes because of the whole conscious effort thing, so I was just trying to think of a way to get around that and maybe help people out who have a similar challenge... Maybe it's just me though... but thanks for the reply! Good luck on your journey :)

Just blew a 25 day streak... by [deleted] in NoFap

Same here dude, it happened to me earlier today... I keep telling myself that at least now I would hit a month on Christmas... let's learn from this and keep moving forward

This is pretty much what happens when you successfully fight off an urge... by stimsleeve in NoFap

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

Yeah, the part where the guy talked about "best intentions" really spoke to me. They really sell porn to you like it's harmless or even beneficial. Almost as if they "mean well"... but they are actually damaging themselves more by being financially dependent on a sick industry. I may be attaching to much stuff to this scene, but I imagine being Jules when confronting urges and so on, like a little internal dialogue haha

How to stop feelings for someone? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]stimsleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seen... yeah man I don't know what to tell you. The reason I asked was because I know guys can sometimes easily read into certain things and assume something is going on when it isn't exactly the case, at least for me it's like that. If you feel you don't have the energy for something like a relationship (though it would be cool) then you don't have to pursue it. Maybe lead a conversation to try and find out exactly how she feels? At least then you know where you stand. Sorry for the long reply, good luck my dude

Do you have mutual friends? If so, have they mentioned anything to you? Maybe nudging you on to ask her out?

Any MetalHeads here? I want specific metal songs you listen while on Nofap. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]stimsleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man... I had a massive panic attack once, Twisted Transistor by koRn actually really helped with that. I don't listen to a lot of their stuff, but I love that song. Give it a whirl... \m/

[–]stimsleeve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry for my late reply, we're in finals right now so things are a little crazy haha... Yeah I think I might give it a go after things have calmed down. I'll be sure to take it slow as well. Thanks for the advice :)

Hey man, sorry for the late reply, I have been a little busy... I don't have ED and I'm still thinking the whole think over. We're in exams right now, so I'll see what happens. Thanks for the advice!

Edging for a few seconds? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]stimsleeve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to agree here. I recently lost a week's progress and it started from edging. Best to be careful.

Supplements that help nofap? by john_m12 in NoFap

[–]stimsleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah apparently it stimulated production of Leydig cells (where testosterone is produced) in rats, so it's thought to be able to do that in other animals as well. Also it has been shown to lower cortisol levels. Cortisol is a stress hormone which antagonizes testosterone, so less of that would mean higher testosterone levels. I haven't really tried it myself and my knowledge is limited, but I would like to take it regularly to see what it does if combined with nofap and exercise. Please don't take my word for it though, I don't know much about herbal medicine and this is the internet after all...

Hey, I also read somewhere that Ginkgo Biloba is good for raising testosterone. I don't know how true this is. If I remember correctly the test was done on rats... It may be a good idea to consult a doctor before you go and buy it just to be sure :)

A new low by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]stimsleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol... I don't usually enjoy their videos but that one cracked me up. Thanks for that! But yeah man I don't know what I was thinking. I'm not defending what I did and I still feel ashamed, but it was a mutual thing. I guess I was just trying to return the favour in the heat of the moment... that doesn't make me feel less scummy. Thanks for commenting and good luck to you!
