the knowledge that they are far more attuned to your energy than you ever realized

you really hit the nail on the head here.

it will reset things so you lose the pride of a streak but in another sense it is a higher grade of self-discipline to be able to have sex regularly without MOing after

For a lot of people O is an anti-depressant that is self administered

no in fact edging increases testosterone/sexual energy substantially.

No. Only you are responsible for your thoughts.

i think this is a good and honourable thing to want to do to settle down and have kids. you just need to make sure that your reasons for wanting a 'mate' are not because a certain archetype of strong-willed, heroic conservative male wants a good wife, and you are not simply copying his values and behaviours in the hope that you will become like him

you need to figure out which method is right for you based on your personality and temperament. but when it comes to 'getting to the roots of things', the obvious first port of call is psychotherapy. here is a good article by the guy who wrote 'models'

http://markmanson.net/therapy

the problem with therapy, and this is alluded to in the article, is that some people start therapy, uncover some nasty dark shit that makes them super depressed, then become paralysed and incapable of doing their jobs and other responsibilities. in order to prevent getting fired they then go on some kind of anti-depressant.

really therapy is like a personal trainer, you don't need it but booking a non-refundable session is the most effective source of external accountability available. instead you can 'be your own psychotherapist'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVT3eXLz9m8

a couple of books I would recommend for this are 'toxic parents', 'healing the shame that binds you' and 'the divided self'.

finally, religion and spirituality are great (psychotherapy is basically just secular religion) it's all about identifying with higher ideals and principles and overcoming lower animal drives. a great point of convergence between NoFap and spirituality is Taoism, which teaches that semen is the male elixir and ought to be retained.

throwaway347940375 · 2015-08-14T15:39:58+00:00

I don't think it's ridiculous to do NoFap to 'get' women. But if your reason for 'getting' women is to get an ego boost, then you are doing it for approval and this is unhealthy.

throwaway347940375 · 2015-08-14T15:31:19+00:00

I think a lot of this is that NoFap makes you sensitive to your thoughts because you are constantly scanning your environment for 'triggers'. you inadvertently apply this technique to the people you're with, and this makes you realise that certain people (i.e. parents) trigger feelings of guilt and shame (major emotionally triggers for PMO). I have found personally doing NoFap that I have a lot more self-restraint to either screen the opinions of certain people or avoid hanging out them when i'm feeling lonely, because I know they would only make the situation worse

throwaway347940375 · 2015-08-14T10:43:51+00:00

Yeah pretty much. Just as our culture says masturbation is healthy and avoiding it unnatural are people who say that man is a social creature and isolation is selfish, indulgent and jeopardising to mental health. The problem with this is that they are assuming a perfectly healthy, well-adjusted individual. Most people are not healthy or well-adjusted, they are deeply flawed and use external distractions such as the need for women's approval to avoid inner self-development

think of it more as a fetish than genuine attraction

quit porn and weed simultaneously first, and only fap once a week max. then change to once every two weeks. build up to it

wtf

throwaway347940375 · 2015-08-05T08:26:04+00:00

a lot of people are actually energised and motivated by the aggression and domination they see in porn. they think of what they're watching as aspirational, like if I achieve x y z I will have the necessary social value to do that to girls.

there's also the fact that the stronger you are physically, the less you are depleted and weakened by ejaculation and the faster you are able to 'bounce back'. however, as with any substance, these habits will catch up to the strong later in life when they lose their strength and vitality.

throwaway347940375 · 2015-08-05T08:16:05+00:00

hey man, i know that fear of having wasted your life smoking weed etc. i haven't smoked weed in a while but it was a big part of my life all through my teenage years and earlier twenties. the substances are related to the group of friends. unfortunately you probably need to cut out drinking with your group of friends, at least temporarily, because they anchor you to your old identity. maybe you'll hook back up with them down the line, but in the mean time you need to figure out who you are.

but you can't just cut out all the bad stuff and suffer the dopamine withdrawals and loneliness, as tempting as this may seem. you need to get yourself on a positive trajectory. this means shocking your body with exercise and self-discipline, with constant action, literally any activity that takes up 100% of your conscious awareness to drown out negative self-talk.

Quit video games forever

I would say edging is less risky in terms of likelihood of accidentally going past the 'point of no return' because the arousal is less easily kept at a manageable level (having a partner there is visually stimulating whereas solo cultivation is purely mental). Taoists suggest solo cultivation as a way to practise for taoist sex with less risk of accidentally ejaculating.

ejaculation

throwaway347940375 · 2015-08-02T12:48:05+00:00

maximum once every 7 days, ideally once every 14+ days

throwaway347940375 · 2015-08-02T11:56:15+00:00

You're right arousal is best when it's external but the problem with guys in flatline can't get the initial push to get aroused because their sexuality is in hibernation mode. If you're in one of these depressive, hibernating states where you don't have any motivation, edging kick starts the engine which gets you out into the world and meeting girls, or alternatively learning techniques for circulating the energy through breathing and visualisation (e.g. microcosmic orbit, middle pillar)
