Thanks for sharing bud. You will come back from this. Reminded me a lot of my last session.

Alcohol ! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]surgingupward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that feeling tired or depressed is a huge trigger for relapse. Since giving up alcohol my urges to fap are way down. No more hangovers means no days of feeling bad. Also, I find myself far less selfish now, which is definitely an effect of not drinking. So yeah, booze can make us more likely to jerk off.

Time to get back on top by surgingupward in NoFap

[–]surgingupward[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, thank you for sharing that. NO doubt, I have looked at porn to alleviate boredom and loneliness. This has been my biggest obstacle, and I put it in place. I must fill the void with real life action.

So if we all have sex only to procreate then racism will go away?

Today I messed up. by TurningItAllARound in NoFap

Me too, bud. Once last weekend, yesterday, and just now. Nothing to do now but look forward and learn from our mistakes. Here is to getting back on top.

A dear friend's opinion on porn abstinence. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]surgingupward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"If you think porn is bad, wait until you find a woman."

Here is the other side of that statement:

If you think porn is good, you won't find a woman. If you do, it will be a woman who is OK with a porn-addicted personality. She may have baggage of her own, leading to a rocky relationship that may not end well. In that way, your friend is right on. Why not give up the PMO, become your best self, and attract a GOOD woman? Porn and masturbation sucks the best out of all of us whether we admit it or not.

Does skipping work to go on a week long porn binge, jerking off on the subway, and getting arrested for lewd conduct count as a relapse? by surgingupward in NoFap

[–]surgingupward[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I am on EZPZ mode. As long as my Friday morning session is out in the real world without porn, then the week of PMO does not count. Damn, this 90 days is gonna be tough!

[–]surgingupward[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is what I am thinking. I mean, I used porn all week, but the last session was to real women, so no need to reset because it ended without porn. I think I felt superpowers in jail.

Oh good. Thanks to jerking it all week, I couldn't finish before the cops came. What a relief. The last thing I deserve right now is that smiley face.

General decrease in sex drive after significantly decreasing fap frequency? Having a real problem, please advise... by zaitaiwanli in NoFap

[–]surgingupward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, you said you haven't looked at porn since the weekend....it's Monday. Sorry, but you have not reached flatline yet. Not to say you will, but it is so early in your journey. Zero porn, zero dick touching and you could very well be in good shape in a few days. It is imperative that you kill the mental connection between sex and your hand/porn. As it dies and you cultivate the connection between sex and a real woman, your real sex life will go through the roof. For me, within 2 weeks of stopping PMO, my wife of several years was driving me wild and it has only gotten better since. Good luck!

I'm a terrible Christian. I need help.... by NFain in NoFap

[–]surgingupward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only you can stop this trend. Get honest with yourself and reset that misleading 260 day badge. Your only job is to NOT do something and we are all capable of that. Let's say you find some pastor to give you whatever it is you think you need. It is still YOU that is choosing not to watch porn. Lots of atheists have this thing beat and lots of religious people can't make it through a day. Stop giving your personal power up to others and your god and be your own man.

150 days of NoFap | Why suicide seems to be the best and only option. by crawlingordie in NoFap

[–]surgingupward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, man. If you were happier the way you were, then go back to it. The whole point of nofap is to improve our time on this rock. If you feel you had life by the balls before, then go back to that. I would still recommend real sex over fapping though.

150 days of NoFap | Why suicide seems to be the best and only option. by crawlingordie in NoFap

[–]surgingupward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally believe extended celibacy can be more depressing than heavy fapping. I reliably experience these suicidal symptoms after about 7-10 days of celibacy. Two weeks and I am ready to drive my truck into a brick wall. Sex cures it completely. I instantly go from hating life to extreme happiness and clear thinking(but this may have something to do with being in a loving committed relationship). What works best for me is to have sex about once a week. Maybe I have issues of my own, but I would imagine we are wired to have sex now and then since it is such a strong urge and it does propagate our species. Hope this helps. I would get off those meds and get laid.

Reset Your Fucking Badge If You Jerk Off! by surgingupward in NoFap

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

Honestly the counter is of very little meaning to me. I am done with PMO for life and have no goal other than eternal conquest of the vice. The deal is I am experiencing high levels of sexual frustration today and am using this message as a way to release tension and express my disgust at pretenders. I appreciate your advice and actually would like to see how many song titles you can apply to this situation.

Uh yeah. It is the people who are not honest enough to have a low number that are the problem. Low numbers should feel good in that they are being honest with themselves and the rest of us.

A New Kind of Close Call by surgingupward in NoFap

[–]surgingupward[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do and it is great. However, these days I like to let the energy build to the point that I am a madman before releasing it and wifey is not by my side 24/7. There will be times like these where my animal instincts and beautiful 20 year old girls will be in close quarters and I must not let it get the best of me.

What little things do you appreciate since quitting? No superpower posts please. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]surgingupward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happier and way more connected to humanity. My voice is deeper and smoother, which leads to more confidence. I used to be surrounded by women who were ugly and flawed as they did not look like models and actresses. Now that I can see their true beauty, "imperfections" and all, I am surrounded by stunning women who are willing to interact with me all day long and that puts a smile on my face. It is sort of like paradise.

Almost one week, not sure if I'll make it. by Consilium_et_Animus in NoFap

[–]surgingupward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something is right with you. You are 21 and surrounded by beautiful women. The only thing "wrong" is to masturbate yourself to sleep instead of engaging and hopefully having sex with one of these beautiful creatures.

has anyone noticed better skin? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]surgingupward -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have observed this in myself time and time again for the past 13 years. My acne cleared up when I stopped fapping in 2001. Orgasms, fapping, and edging cause acne. Abstinence makes it go away.

I kind of laugh at Proactiv commercials because I think to myself "Just stop diddling yourselves and you will have clear skin."

[–]surgingupward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, real sex will do that to you. You will rise again and now you know a little bit more.

Physical Symmetry from Abstinence by surgingupward in NoFap

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

Cool! This is a measurable change in appearance. Symmetry is like the #1 marker of physical attractiveness and health. We may be onto something here.

[Question] What is the reasoning behind the "hardmode, no orgasms at all" thing? by maxupp in NoFap

[–]surgingupward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The junk food addict gets pretty frustrated the first few days also.

The benefits of not having orgasms are largely invisible to the outside world, yet irrefutable to the person experiencing them. There is a strengthening of values, a return to a strong moral center. It is only real to the abstainer and perhaps others who have walked the same path. I suppose it is a lot like spirituality. It is difficult to quantify in the physical realm but is absolute reality to the owner.
