    Hi what if I only fap once every 3 weeks? Will that be okay? Will I still keep any benefit gain for doing 21days of hardmode?

    It's been over 3months since I gave up on mongering aka travelling aboard to pay/meet girls. So it's not easy as a single guy like me to do the whole 90days of hardmode.

    I just went 21days and just had to fap today
    because I was about to explode. If I haven't fap I would have likely had a wet dream . So in a way I see fapping once every 3weeks as just helping the body do what it going to do anyway
     
  2. It may be less harmful than if you were doing it every day, but it still will have it's effects. You may keep some of the benefits, but some of it will definitely be lost.

    Don't see fapping as a 'necessary' thing. Wet dreams are necessary, fapping isn't. Let your body take care of it naturally, that way it reduces the impact. A lot of the time, the effects of masturbating aren't also caused by wet dreams because it's a natural mechanism instead of being forced.

    Even if you weren't single, if you're reaching O then you aren't truly doing hard mode. Hard mode involves complete abstinence from porn, masturbation, and orgasm. For that reason, most guys that aren't single don't choose to do hard mode.

    Obviously, you're more than welcome to choose what you think is best. If you think you're okay with occasionally masturbating, then fine. You set your goals, not anyone else. In the end, NoFap is all for your benefit.

    Hope this helps! :D

    Thanks. I think I will stick with this fap once 21days rule and see how it goes. Better than keep trying and failing every time I try to reach 90days and the guilt leading me to binge which always make me feel worse.

    I don't see anything wrong in fapping every 21 days, everything in moderation.

    It will still make effects.
     
  7. should you masturbate do it without porn, most of the damage is caused by porn. Someone could probably live a normal life if they decided to masturbate once a month max without porn, most of us are here because of porn combined with masturbation on a daily or weekly basis.

    The moment you lay your eyes on porn your brain will release a chemical called delta fos B, unless you are a robot or something you will fail to manage porn consumption. Even if you did manage, what you're suggesting is called kindling and can even be worse than daily use.
     
  8. PM is never okay. MO in moderation will prolong your reboot. You might have to wait years for recovery with that regime.

    In the end the whole thing just about talking oneself into that relapse is okay, which itself is a relapse into the addiction denial phase.

    Trust me, you didn't "have" to do anything. You most certainly will not explode if you don't PMO. That was your addicted mind using its amazing range of tricks to convince you to relapse.
    And if you'd had a wet dream instead, so what? They're not fun, but it's not you actively relapsing. It's just your body getting used to being PMO-free.

    PMO is never a solution to anything.

    It depends if you have an addiction or just a bad habit.
    If this things taking over your life and you want to quit. Abstinence is the only way.

    No, it's not OK. It's OK for someone who has not developed addiction, but for addicted person, you should do proper reboot with abstention for at least 90 days (I'd say double or better triple it, if you had developed daily compulsive binge habit) and then try MB every 3 weeks WITHOUT porn (you can do it more often, BUT be careful it doesn't lead you back to PMO). There is no easy way out of it if you're truly addicted. Don't worry about having wet dream, if it happens it happens (I didn't have it at all in last 169 days of monk mode), nothing wrong with it, just normal body function.

    Here's the topic regarding brain recovery time:

    I see you have 268 hard mode streak behind you, congrats! Do you feel like you have recovered from PMO yet? I'm curious because brain scans show that this is an average time period for brain to completely physically recover from addiction (not counting underlying psychological issues here, just no PMO cravings).

    Thanks! I'm not really sure how recovery would be defined so I don't know what to say. When I'm feeling down I almost hardly ever see PMO as the automatic solution, though the thought does occur from time to time, but I quickly shake it off. I still get a lot of wet dreams, though.

    That's totally up to you. Do you think eating a bowl of ice cream once every 14 days is considered okay? Personally I don't see a problem in that just as long as you're doing everything else you're supposed to in life. Just make sure that doesn't become an excuse for you to start fapping more often than you should be.

    Thanks. I will try to stick to 21days. If I can't then I will set my target to fapping once every 14days.

    Hi! I´ll just add one more point of view, approach it as you wish.

    Personally, I´d recommend stopping it once and for all. You surely didn´t "have to" fap. It is just as you said: body is going to do it by itself anyway, so why should you make it happen sooner than it´s needed? Wet dreams are natural; fapping is not.
    If you want to be free from this, don´t masturbate at all. It´s also about willpower - do you have enough of it to tell yourself "I don´t need to f*ck my hand"? And trust me - you indeed CAN live without it. And life is better without it.

    Whatever you choose, I wish you best of luck on your journey!
     
  17. Hi there! You will not keep your benefits if you fap every 3 weeks. I highly recommend that you do not masturbate at all. If you have a wet dream, that is totally natural and would not count as a relapse/reset. Hope that helps!

    Let me tell you the science behind this thing (sperms I mean ) around 20-30 kg food is required to make 1200gms of blood cells and these blood cells make 20gm of sperm . Which is wasted when you m one time and it takes almost abt 30 -35 days for this process to take place now it is totally depended on you whether u want to waste ur hard work( 30days ) on one of this thing or not . Also it is good that u are trying but don't say that its more difficult for you life is always unfair and we have to accept it so move on with it hope this helps. btw I found the knowledge of the above concept from a YouTube channel called manthanhub this guy literally tells things which u might not know and I watch it regularly . Also he is an Indian so he speaks in Hindi but subtitles are available on his channel you would not be dissappointed . I hope it helps.
