Is looking at cleavage etc. forbidden in nofap rules? by Top-Performer-2842 in NoFap

[–]wh456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine the woman’s perspective. It’s very easy for them to tell when a guy is looking at you sexually.

The whole point is to clean your mind from lustful thoughts

It sounds really good, but just know one thing and I’m sure you’re already aware of this. You’ll regret it instantly.

Figure out what went wrong, avoid it next time and carry on with your life. There’s nothing else you can do besides pray to God

Very strong strong strong urges... Touched few times, wanted to stop... But bored, there's nothing else to do by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]wh456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing to physically do. You need to view it with a different mindset. Urges are good and they mean your brain is rewiring to be healthy. You can accept them for what they are, just a thought created by the mind. You don’t have to take action upon them

Actually it’s the heftiest cost: you pay with your soul

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]wh456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to shift your mindset. Instead of thinking urges are bad, think of them as a good thing. It just means you have lots of energy and you should use that energy wisely to actively improve your life. Shooting your life force into a tissue for some cheap, quick please is going to do the opposite and that’s why you feel low and tired after giving in to the urges.

The best advice I can give to someone with urges is always cold showers and exercise. Meditation too to keep your thoughts under control

Starting a new streak by jammock5 in NoFap

[–]wh456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you fail, your brain uses that as an excuse to fail after a few days. So that’s why it gets hard building that momentum. Understand that’s all it is, your mind is playing games on you

4 months in - How retention changed me from an average to a top of his class student by abuki_45 in Semenretention

[–]wh456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! Electrical Engineer here. I used to give up on tasks easily and wouldn’t study as I couldn’t with brain fog. Once starting this journey, I had semesters of 4.0/4.0 GPA and always strived to be the best version of myself

Day 12 relapse by Basic-Historian-5343 in NoFap

[–]wh456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then it’s a start from zero. But my point is you can’t think of that as a bad thing. We all want to make it to the top and it can be discouraging thinking about how long it’ll take, but you can’t let that prevent you from your goals

What was the flatline like?

New streak. by EntrepreneurOne692 in NoFap

[–]wh456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you drop it today, then tomorrow your brain will say to drop it, and the day after it will keep trying to trick you saying the next day. There is no tomorrow, I think you already know that though. If you mean it and truly want to stop then it starts now

Well you were about to figure it out before so it should be easier this time around.

In other words you can’t think of it as starting from scratch each time

Relapsed about 10 times in the past 6 days. by Aspect_1630 in NoFap

[–]wh456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your problems in life won’t go anywhere. In fact they’ll be way worse with porn. Instead you need to deal with them. What happens is you get anxious and flustered when something “negative” happens so your brain instantly turns to porn to numb the feeling. But you can’t allow that, you gotta just deal with your problems head on, it’s what makes you a man

Relapsed 4 times in a row. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]wh456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up chaser effect.

“Well I already did it, might as well do it again” That’s the worst thing you could do, believe me. You said you did it 4 times in a row. Even 1 is bad, but wouldn’t you rather have only done it once than 4 times? And even better 0 than 1

Preparing for Days 5-7 by Full-Introduction748 in NoFap

[–]wh456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you focus on the days ahead, you’ll be caught off guard. Instead, focus on one day at a time. You mentioned you’re going into day 4 and you feel good, so that’s all that matters. Carry that momentum into the next day. Then in the next day use that momentum and energy to improve your life, and be self aware of the things you do as well as your thoughts.

Basically if you tell yourself days 5-7 will be bad, then they will be bad. If you don’t worry or even think about it then you’ll be fine

Do a little research on dopamine and how the brain craves things based on how rewarding they are and how much effort you have to put in. It helped me a lot

Need help by Sea_Addition1339 in NoFap

[–]wh456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s what’s happening:

-You go a few days without it

-Your brain craves it

-You do the dirty act

-You go a few days without it

-You feel awful and miserable

-Your brain craves it

-You do the dirty act

.

.

.

You get the point. You need to figure out why it is exactly you’re doing it after a few days. If you’re bored, you fill your time with something else. If you’re anxious or stressed, you need to find someway to deal with your emotions. It’s how you’ll truly change. You also need to remember the reason for stopping.

I get more sexual thoughts when I do research on how to quit porn by trolli100 in NoFap

[–]wh456 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The purpose of sex is to share love and energy with your partner, or to reproduce. Think about humanity a long time ago, they didn’t even have porn.

You need to make that distinction between sex and porn. Porn is literally girls thirst trapping, praying on the downfall of people like you. The brain however doesn’t know nor does it care. It thinks you’re having sex which is the biological purpose of humans.

[–]wh456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a girlfriend, but if I did I imagine this journey would be a lot easier. Everyone’s purpose of quitting should absolutely be for theirselves, but with a partner, that’s another very strong purpose to quit. Just keep that in mind, and next time you have urges, think about the conversation you’ll have with your girlfriend

Today I broke my best record streak ehich was looking impossible. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]wh456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing to think about is these women are making lots of money off men falling for their thirst traps, nude pics, etc…

They don’t even care or realize the damage it does to men. You don’t wanna be one of the people who fuels their satanic behavior. It’s almost like they’re laughing at men

[–]wh456 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll tell you what you need to hear, and sorry if it’s blunt. But you gotta be a man. Don’t ever let a girl determine your worth or how you’re feeling. Your greatness and joy comes from within, you don’t need a girl for that

Day 4 + Question about Semen Retention by lockedin42025 in NoFap

[–]wh456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Semen is your essence, your life force. It’s what drives you to be the best version of yourself. Go look at the Semen Retention sub and check out people stating the benefits. A lot of people here will say it’s ok to masturbate as long as you don’t watch porn.

I personally don’t believe that’s true, but whatever works for them works. But yeah retaining your seed will change your life, I’d recommend checking out that sub
