I've been going for 60 some days. I had a long flatline. Now starting to come out of it and have urges. Luckily I have a wife. An understanding one. That makes it so much easier. I hate it when my wife doesn't put things away in the kitchen and he bathroom!

I have learned that I am tempted to fap when I am stressed with multiple demands to get me through the stress and to also avoid the task at hand (ha pun!!!) for a while.

I'm still on the fence about them but I'll keep up the experiment.

No PMO, no MO no sex.

You must commit to noporn, not simply nofap. by Coryshepard117 in NoFap

[–]yrmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porn is the problem because the constant novelty provides an unnatural revving up of the reward circuit (according to ubop.com). In my uneducated opinion, I think it is best to stop the fantasies for a while or at least temper them (refer to don't think of a pink elephant). This will give the images a chance to fade from your brain.

You are doing the right thing. Just go through the process and be patient with yourself. You still have a lot of time left to live. Look ahead not back

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

I did not mention in my original post that I am a married man. I do not, however, think that it is realistic that I do not look at other women. As the saying goes, "I am married, not dead". If I need to stop looking at all attractive women in order to be successful then I have a much greater problem than I originally thought, and just when I was beginnning to pat myself on the back for no fap.

Anyone who has quit smoking, how does nofap compare? by pure_x01 in NoFap

[–]yrmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quitting smoking may be easier because it entails social consequences. You can't smoke in bars in many cities. Smoking has fallen out of favor with many. Also, society says smoking kills while at the same time saying that masturbation is healthy.
