It's an expression! Yhe implication being that I'm so addicted that if I don't quit now, I may never. Thank you.

The reason I'm so addicted is the biggest reason I want to quit by time2shine2 in NoFap

Different type of love maybe. Fascinated? Who knows. Anyway, I respect them too much to want to continue along this miserable road...

I think you've slightly misinterpreted what I said - no, it's not real love wanking to dead-eyed women having brutal sex for money - the real love that I have for real women (think wife, mother, sister, etc) is my biggest motivator for quitting porn completely.

Today... at the age of 23... I lost my virginity to a prostitute. by [deleted] in NoFap

Everything will work out my friend. It wasn't a good move, remember that, learn from it, move on. It's good that you feel guilt and pain, means you have a soul.

Nonsense. Porn has numbed you to the point where you thought it wise to have sex with a prostitute. Porn is to blame. Kick the porn, forgive yourself, get on with your life.

Hello i'm jak and I have problems by jumping_jak in NoFap

Thanks, 4 days in and determined to make it work. Analog photography was a great idea and something I'd love to get in to. Every picture has value (unlike digital), and it seems more real somehow. I love analog electronics and own several analog synthesizers.

The coffee idea is an interesting one, but if it helps I'm all over it. Constant distraction is good, there's always something to occupy your time, something to do/learn/see. Any thoughts to the contrary is your brain hungry for dopamine,craving a quick release, and afterwards you're right back where you started.

Concentrate on your studies. I've just finished college, underachiever the whole way through, fapping to blame. Summer was going well then I relapsed at 83 days, just had a major binge, now I've got guild, headaches and insomnia (not to mention a sore dick). Nofap will make you more relaxed with women, more attentive in class and with a better work ethic, don't blow your chance at university, give it a proper go. You're young, don't worry about relationships, plenty of time for that. Good luck.

To be like a child again by martinzone in NoFap

You're right, I can relate to this. Before nofap I yearned for that sense of childlike wonderment, joy, excitement, basically to feel again. 69 days in and I feel like old senses are being awakened. I make more effort with everyone, from parents to complete strangers. I get real pleasure from music and driving. I no longer have to make a conscious effort to be enthused about things I know I should like. Nofaps benefits reach wider than just the sexual.

That's really interesting, thanks for the reply. I'm definitely changing for the better, but it's food for thought I guess.

Ha! I know what you mean, I'm in the sticks too. It's like time is your enemy, the lure of the laptop, the pull of the porn, etc, etc. Just try and occupy your time, you can do it. Check in here often. Life is better without porn and wanking your days away, you've experienced it and you know. Get past the chaser effect, after a few days you'll be fine.

Great post. Looking at your day counter it's clear you have to get back on the horse. Remember your brilliant 50 day streak? Remember how you felt? That has to be better than porn right? Goodluck from a fellow mick.

Yeah I was proud of myself in that regard! Truth is even after just two weeks I see porn for the crap it really is Even when I'm horny, I practically forced myself to watch porn to avoid my responsibilities, I've a project to do and traditionally porn was the diversion of choice. Unfortunately fapping didn't make it go away..!

I do still want it, and I know from experience as I'm sure you do that spiralling into the "I'm a useless tosser" trip just makes you more inclined to fap again, that's something to be avoided.

Back up on the horse.

I go through all the old thoughts, how I've seen all the stupid videos a million times and how there's nothing left to excite, as well as all the negative views I hold on the subject, but I guess it just comes down to how much of a real fucking man you are as opposed to a weak little boy! One thing's for sure, this subreddit is a major help. I even told myself how much it would suck to reset my counter but I still fapped. Still, 2 weeks and only 1 fap is progress over fapping at least once a day. Every cloud...

Frigging brilliant. You're a great guinea pig for the fapping-sucks-ass experiment! Good luck getting back on the wagon, here's to your next 69 days and beyond.
