After completing 7 days of NO PMO, I am now doing 21 Days of No Porn. M+O is allowed twice a week, without use of porn. Porn includes nude pictures / videos. I have a few go-to which are non nude that I'm allowed to. Browsing endless through contents is not allowed. Go-to is a way to avoid mindless browsing. **The goal for this 21 Days challenge is give myself a COMPLETE DETOX from watching pornography.** Will Start Monday March 18th and will end Sunday April 7th. Reward: Get chick-fil-a Punishment: Will have to extend No P challenge for additional 21 days. (Intentionally watching nude videos is considered a fail) May my higher power guide me and keep me in a serene state of mind. Maybe I find peace and joy in my sober living.
Bueno la verdad, es lo más sincero q he leído por estos foros...yo me pregunto...fuera feliz solo haciendo M+O ocasionalmente? Quizás si lo sea / hace 20 años atrás , así era mi vida sin internet....recuerdo q lo hacia 1 vez x semana y sin embargo, siempre me sentia mal....ahora es muchísimo peor, quizás yo sea más feliz , solo con MO 1 vez x semana ....en fin .... te apoyo Deseo llegar a eso... yo hoy tengo 2 días sin P.M.O La semana pasada tuve 6 días sin PMO
Day 3/21 - complete. I experienced some mental distress. i had temptations to 'check' some videos. i didn't do it. noticing the mind trying to build up the temptations. going on youtube, then thoughts of checking other websites comes to mind. contractions in the gut area, agitations. without the p/ sexually stimulating visuals, the need to masturbate doesnt come. my brain has been trained to gain orgasmic pleasure from a visual stimulus and the added intensity of masturbating on it. without the visual 'high', im finding less need to even masturbate. today was day 3, and i def. felt some urges, and didnt fall into the temptations.
Day 4/21 - complete. Had urges to check online p. accompanying with sense of lack in the gut / pelvic area. i did not succumb to the temptations. no m/o.
Day 5/21 - complete. had a very close call. will need to put phone away at night. i have not watch p, though, i did browse through tiktok videos, these are obviously distractions and an attempt to get a dopamine kick in another way. today i did m/o. (1/2)
you inspire me! keep up the good fight brother. also i want to share. for me i need to tap into the why. temptations are inevitable. but when i stumble into one, i remind myself of the great future wife i'm about to marry. and she's worth holding off 3 seconds of O, 3 minutes of M, and 30 minutes of browsing P. ALL COMBINED. on top of that, i have a wonderful saviour who loves me more than i could ever imagined. that gives me strength and believe that nothing is above me. no temptations can overpower me. what's your ultimate goal? tap into it more frequently hope this works for you.
Thank you Mila, I agree that having a strong 'why' is very important. Wishing you good continuations and blessings ahead!
Day 6/21 - complete Today I was in the basement watching some movies/tv shows, and that kept the temptations at bay. no much triggers for today.
Keep going. Week 1 is the hardest. For me at least. Pun intended. After that it got easier. By week 3 I had full control over my snake.
