Day 325 Day 1 - without wet dreams @Ank07 Thank for your information brother! I'll definitely give a try. Brother This method looks like a some kind of yoga ..
Day 4 It looks like clenching and unclenching your rectum. It sounds similar to one of the exercises that mantak chia lists towards the end of his semen retention book. I did not understand what @Ank07 explained.
Day 41 checking in. All good today, spent my time cleaning up the house and listening to some addiction recovery book promoting the 12 steps program. Still on the good fight, but I feel tempted recently, not by porn, but by any visual of female bodies. It seems they are everywhere. Keep reminding myself they are all humans like myself, having their own lives, with their own problems. Their body is not my business. And I get that many women just want to express themselves through their body and how they dress. But this doesn't make it any easier and I ask myself many times what is the purpose of all these games and why there are so many sexual ques in music and film. Anyway, going to bed early to avoid aimless browsing. Stay strong everyone, one day at a time!
Day 2 @JB39 mindlessly browsing is such a big trap for me too. I also view it as “their body is their business” and “they don’t want to be sexualized”. Many women do want to be sexualized these days, but it’s up to you if you want to feed into that or not. Much like us watching porn, they simply don’t know any better and are a product of their environment. Sexualizing people is just another bad habit like porn.
Day 64 - Super Saiyan Some temptation and elevated urges a bit due to doing IF. Nothing I can handle as a Super Saiyan. That's it. Saiyan out
Day 5 I'm starting to find a lot of the nofap culture toxic. There is too much focus on girls and not enough emphasis on addiction recovery in my opinion. A lot of folks are insanely pushy about masculinity and the strongly religious are rubbing me the wrong way. I'm going to stay off reddit for a few weeks.
Day 42 check in. All good, reading a recovery book by Russell Brand. I don't particularly like him, but I am willing to learn from anyone who has something good to say. The book is not very good, not very bad, but still some very good ideas coming out. Mainly focused on the 12 steps program, one idea sticks out: in the journey of fighting addiction we can't win with our old mentality and need to rely on support. This can be many things, but one that most resonates with me is the help of a group of people united in the same purpose. This is the community here, with the honest disclosure of problems, encouragements and tips. Keep strong everyone and have a productive week!
And this is day 12! Close to the first milestone of 15. Few hours slept yesterday, so today I need to be extra cautious.
Day 65 - Super Saiyan @Thadeus Tuffington I can relate to what you said about the toxicity in NoFap culture. The only reason I have been here in the forums daily because of me taking time with my posts especially the ones I like to put in more including my journal. One of my challenges requires me to check in at least 10 days so that is one of the main reasons why I kept up with my daily check ins as of recent. I can totally see some men if not a lot are focused on women rather than recovery. Men wonder why their still struggling. But who am I to judge since everyone has different goals. Apparently, not everyone is focused on here for recovery. That's up to them. Just my thoughts. I'm a different kind of Super Saiyajin. I'll do whatever I can on my NoFap journey but the main goal is always to rid PMO in the end of course. That is my purpose here. Nice to have benefits but in the end this isn't main reason to do this. That's it. Always training and fighting as a Super Saiyan. Saiyan out
