It seems you are not aware of the original study that stimulated this whole website? 'Not ejaculating for 7 days showed a 47% increase in testosterone' Testosterone is a contributing factor to increased self-esteem, confidence and energy. So really while I do believe your idea on the fact that success goes hand in hand with confidence, the actual science behind it proves that simply abstaining can cause significant bodily changes, eg: increases in self-esteem, confidence and energy which all go hand in hand.
Great post! Thank you. I especially liked the pick a song or video to watch for urges. I think I will try that.
Thanks for this post OP. Your words were straight and direct to the point. It's true that boredom and idleness is the greatest obstacles to a person who wants to get himself off nofap. I raise my mug to you, kind sir. And I wish you all the best with your nofap journey!
Thank you so much man. Hope I can struggle through NOFAP, no more relapse, and have a brand-new mindset!
Thanks for this post. It is really nice to read all this. Yet I'm only at 41 days and have some similar strategies what you mentioned. The TED talk is a nice beginning for changing your mind that's true too. But in my opinion the biggest change can be done by watching documentaries like date my porn star from channel 4. The reason for this is simple. Porn inhumanes the whole interrelation between the porn viewer and the humans actually standing in front of the camera, which are after some time seen as purely flesh only. This documentary is worth watching it, since 3 addicts like all of us here are displayed and the process how they start thinking differently about the whole subject step by step when they find out about the truth. There are several other documentaries about amateur sex or porn documentaries. And I didnt find them arousing, no I found them disguisting. I believe this is the thing that you have to feel for yourself. You have the feel guilty to have watched films, that contributed to a big misery for other people, even in a deeper sense made them physically or pysicologically sick. After I realized my last thoughts on ever doing this were diminished. It was just to much what you see on this documentaries, that is far to ugly to get aroused again from such crap.
Excellent post. I am 18 and thought that your post was very inspiring and had excellent resources and ideas.
Good post but I disagree that the "super powers" come from the confident boost from the achieving the nofap goal. There's real brain changes going on receptors being renewed and added, circuits getting rewired.
Yup. It's over now. Just watched p for the last time along with m. I have a poem I came up with at work yesterday. The was inspired by the Norma Jean song Memphis will be laid to rest. Listen to the end and pull up the lyrics on Google. You must be strong, for this is the greatest honor of all, to see your enemies hung and your demons pinned against the wall. Another one, not by me of course. Mailing ListMusic Player The Man In The Glass Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr. When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day Just go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say. For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest For he’s with you, clear to the end And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
Good Post! Thanks for sharing bro! You may will never know the wast number of people impacted by this well written article!
