Where the f**** is my superpower?

If you’ve spent 10 years fapping it’s simply lunacy to expect “super powers” after just 37 days
If the orgasm while performing oral was from masturbating while performing it that’s no good.
Not a full reset but watch it as it may have a snowball effect back into relapse.
You got this bro stay strong

 

Yeah how did you orgasm while performing oral? Were you guys performing oral on each other? I agree if you stay away from P and touching yourself at all, that would be best.

However I am still waiting for my “superpowers” as well. Don’t get me wrong I have had some good days, but a lot more bad days for sure.

 

It's worth trying for a lot longer as many say they get benefits after much longer, plus it is apparently not only the quitting that brings results. They say you need to put in place new, positive habits.

 

This whole "superpowers" thing is mostly nonsense. Sorry to break that to you, but someone has to say it. If you are doing this for that reason, you are making a mistake.

There are excellent reasons to decide to get free of porn and masturbation that have nothing to do with so-called "superpowers." Do you need to know what I'm referring to? It's a serious question. I'm here for those other reasons, and I'm glad to help others. But I'm not going to promise you the moon, or stand by while others do so. This has to be based in reality.

 

Yeah, it doesn't give you superpowers. It just makes you normal. And when you've been feeling like a kingsize bag of #### for years, being normal feels incredible!

 

I would go even further... This whole superpowers thing is mostly total nonsense!

 

I agree, I find when people talk about the superpower thing it devalues what this cause is really about in the eyes of normal people w/o this issue. I believe certain things could happen, such as increase energy, less anxiety, and things of that nature but some people go WAAAAAY overboard with the benefits.

 

That's right. I mean when in the history of the human race has increased energy and less anxiety etc been superpowers?

 

Increased energy and decreased anxiety do sound like superpowers to me compared to how I usually feel a lot of days now. I’ve had low energy off and on a lot through my life, but I’ve ever really struggled with anxiety or social anxiety untill nofap.

 

Start taking B6 and B12 then, superpowers in a bottle lol.

I dunno, the only way I could see someone looking at it like that is those so far down the rabbit hole that going 5+ sessions a day or spending hours upon hours edging could get rapid results from weening off the dopamine train.

 

But they are not are they? At best, all you will experience are the normal levels of energy and absence of anxiety you would have had without your porn addiction. So they are not superpowers. Rather, you are simply returning to normal functioning.

 

Now this is why rebooting can be so depressing. People expect to get these so called superpowers that you hear about so often here. Then you realize after abstaining for awhile that you can't leap tall buildings, walk on water, or breath fire. And women are not suddenly throwing themselves at you. Giving up an addiction feels more like a slap in the face from reality telling you to wake the fuck up!

 

I have taken some b complex and other vitamins with higher b in them, but they also seem to make my anxiety higher also. So it’s a loose loose situation.

 

The "superpowers" aren't for me. It's making my anxiety worse, tbh.

 

Depending on your current shape/condition a cardio/workout regime could help in that area. I found rowing to be fantastic, fully body, and low impact cardio, I can do it for 60 minutes daily w/o any issue and I feel fantastic after doing it.

Lifting weights also gives a similar result and helped my sister (whom has bad anxiety) to keep her bad days to a minimum.

 

I actually have gotten away from working out this last month or so. But I do usually strength train but don’t do much cardio. I really need to get back into it, I LOVE my family. But sometimes I miss the days when I was single and no kids and no responsibilities so I could do what I want. And me and my friends would work out and keep each other accountable for going lol. Life gets busy!
