@fleurette, you may have the honour of receiving the first medal ever. ✪ Medal of Courage For sharing your inspiring story towards betterment. Also for being a strong woman. Proud of you Captain! (only add the star in your signature)
Thank you Lieutenant @MASTER MONK on behalf of all my Wonder Women Sisterhood! I hope Lt. Colonel @010010010100000101001101 might give me an award one day for being an obedient push-up-type soldier
I've engaged the Hard mode, complete semen retention. I no longer look at myself nude in a mirror. No edging and I only touch myself to urinate and take a shower. And no dating sex.
Day 6 will end in few hours. Had some urges, ignored them. Supported my friends. Overall not a bad day.
Great hardwork by master monk for updating new strategies..Because of this challenge I cross 4 days after long time
Captain EcoMunchies checking in. I realise that since I joined up, I’ve been a bit of a quiet Captain. Those that know me on other forums will know that I am on most days, but need to find the time to compose a hopefully useful and meaningful post. Day 39 here for me, going well. No major issues or triggers to deal with. I find the hardest time is going to sleep when the urges want to take over my brain at the moment. I’ve found a solution that works for me, based around OSHO meditation (something that I’ve found has really helped me in general this year). For those that practice meditation, and any that want to try, I can share the sleep meditation from OSHO that has helped me get to sleep without any issue despite urges wanting to invade my brain. Let me know. Other items to report: Very interested in @fleurette’s posts about women being able to sense PMO guys. I’ve never really thought about PMO girls before and being able to sense them. Maybe as until I started on this site, and saw the ladies section I didn’t think it was a bigger issue for females. Guess I’ve learnt something there. On the issue of being able to see a PMO addict, what are other people’s experiences. Could it account for why some male to female interactions in the past have been strained? AND why now they are becoming easier for me? Good to see so many new recruits here. I do think that @MASTER MONK should enact the rule that participation and checking in is required on a regular basis. I’ll let the higher ranks and admin sections decide the required frequency. For any of the new recruits and especially those new to NoFap, there’s a wealth of information on this site. Find what works for you.. stick to it ... and remember, “Your brain will try to trick you. Don’t be afraid to question your own brain!” Last point, keep this in mind when Urges are fighting for control of your brain: Don’t give up what you want most, for what you want now
...and one last point. For the New Recruits that are struggling with relapses, I see a few of them out there in the lower ranks, do some research or try the cold shower techniques. I was sceptical at first, but now (3 weeks in) really enjoying the invigoration it gives in the morning. As well as the supreme urge dampening it does! I think there’s a forum on them here somewhere. Honestly, if you’re struggling, give it a go!
@EcoMunchies yay, another Captain!! Yes, no need to sleep around for me right now. Last week I was texting, well, sexting with an old fling and he was just mentioning things taken out of P scenes. Yuck. When I will go to some date in the future I need some real communication not just being used as a means to act out P scenes.
I totally agree! I was almost drawn into receiving a blow job over the weekend. My resistance prevailed! I want a loving connection with some one, I no longer want to be used as a sex object.
Yes indeed - you guys do feel the same. Girls too they don't want to get dismissed from the "market" if they won't do a bj on command etc. Porn distorts real life and real relationships to the extremes. I hate it.
Thanks, fleurette! As a guy, I do feel the same as girls do about being a sexual conquest. I no longer will take my thong off or spread my legs for someone who wants to put a notch in his bedpost. I want a loving, real relationship without PMO!
Guys, today was painful. Blue Balls. I don't know how it happened. -Studying in Home for whole day. -Started having sexual thoughts. -Couldn't Stop. -3 Hrs Passed. -Blue Balls. PAINFUL -Girlfriend finds about it in phone. -Girlfriend is concerned, tries to convince me to orgasm to release pain. -Me refuse. Describe her I don't want to ruin this. -She supportive Angel, she visits, me found comfort in her arms. -Take Cold Shower, life heavy weight to ease pain. -Now resting in bed, feel better. I don't want to experience such pain again. It's physically painful unlike Urge. I don't think I'm disqualified for thinking sexual, but I myself don't want to think sexual anymore. But this incident got me thinking, so PLEASE HELP ME HERE. - How am going to satisfy my partner anymore without me having Blue Balls? I don't want to orgasm but want my partner to orgasm. (Don't say I have to give up all sexual activities, I belong to her, she needs my physical love too even if it ain't sex . )
If the pushup gods will wish, maybe one day I shall personally hand you one. Meanwhile we keep pushing up! I definitely second this. Soldiers will come, enroll and disappear. There is no reason to keep deserters on the list. I think something like 30 days should be reasonable amount of time frame for people to check in at least once. @MASTER MONK Love the medal thing! Awesome idea!
