Day 26 and I slept in this morning (don’t do it) and I started fantasying. I don’t usally fantasise but it made me think if it’s possible to be free from lust. The last 26 days were easy. Why? Because i WANT to quit pmo as bad as I want to BREATH. Until every part of you wants to give up pmo it will be very hard. For 2 years trying to quit I had this emptiness because I was giving up pmo. Now I feel so FULL because I’m not pmoing, I actually want to quit. A lot are dedicated but not sincere.
Yes, it's possible to defeat lust. I struggled a lot and could get triggered even by hearing the footsteps of a woman walking by not a very long time ago. Now, I am able to look away when I see an attractive woman. There are still undefeated areas and it's very easy to fall back if you don't keep being vigilant but with time, you learn what you want to earn. You have to fight against those thoughts and endure, that's how you get stronger each time.
One thing I have learned brother is when I see a beautiful woman instead of sexualising her I admire her beautify for say 3-5 seconds and then keep going. Works every time
Yeah, well said. The 3 second rule is basically: Notice (1 second); Admire (1 second); Move on (1 second).
Yesterday I was walking down the street and I noticed a beautiful girl standing near the corner. We both looked at each and other and stared for at least 5-6 seconds. It became irresistible for me and I was about to be bombarded with lustful thoughts until I finally broke the gaze and moved forward. I didn't even look back to see whether she was still looking at me or not. I just moved forward. After a few seconds I didn't think about it. It takes some determination and self control on our part but I am yet to break the barrier of lustful thoughts. When I looked at this girl I should have thought of admiring her beauty instead of feeding my carnal thoughts. I'll be constantly trying and sooner or later I will get through this.
Pheromones bro girls notice when we hold our essence. This one girl was literally death staring me when I was at work and she was with her boyfriend. I get girls standing extra close to me wherever I go. At the supermarket they just start talking to me randomly. Our creator is awesome lol
I’m not handsome and don’t have very good social skills but girls seem to be super attracted to me now
A great motivation to all of us who are on this streak Earn those numbers and notice the attention of the opposite sex
It can be both astounding and shocking lol but let me tell u something bro don’t be puffed up with pride when you get attention from beautiful women. If attention is the whole reason for semen retention when your in a flatline or something and u feel like crap and u don’t get the same attention then you will fall off the wagon and end up even worse I personally do it to walk my highest path both physically and spiritually
You are absolutely right there. Overconfidence and pride is a bad thing and can even lead to PMO again as a replacement for coping with rejection.
Oh yes, its one of the core self practices for a healthy and virtuous lifestyle though following its rules and principles requires lots of dedication, discipline, self awareness and deep meditation from a person.
Sleeping in is asking for fantasy, I know that from experience. Good job getting away from it though. Keep fighting!
my two cents: I'll sometimes have problems with fantasies when I'm in bed and very drowsy, especially in the middle of the night. I've learned that I just got to get up, take my clothes off, and take a cold shower, put new underwear on and go back to bed. It sucks, but I have to do it, and now it's kind of automatic.
