    Check in
    Woke up depressed, very tough lately but on the bright side I know these are separate issues that are coming out because I don't rely/default to PMO when I'm bored or stressed

    Congratulations, you deserve it. Don't let your guard down, because of the accomplishment. It can make us feel good and look for reward...

    I am doing okay, except.. yesterday night I had a period of unexpected low, which made me feel meh.

    In general, I don't feel much of a difference on my current streak. I was maybe once a week P guy before this current streak and I had multiple streaks of over 30.

    Everything is the same but sometimes I get sexually frustrated. I was talking about how M is not the evil, but I didn't do any in the streak, so with work on my studies and my partner not being very sexual, very often we delay the moment.

    Yesterday she was edging me in a bj and probably that made me feel some kind of way... unpleasent way. I don't know, with the whole nofap thing, I feel awkward around sex.

    What I am sure of is that my point of excitement about porn is much higher. My dopamine restored or whatever and everything can be triggering.

    What do you mean by it can be the opposite? I said not watching porn might increase energy, which can increase women attraction. So by the opposite do you mean MO will lower energy? And that lower energy can increase attraction? :emoji_thinking: Just a little confused about what you meant.

    Here, it seems that not PMO makes you friendly, but I think it is the opposite.

    As the net says PMO beta, no PMO alpha.
    Using this terms to illustrate.

    So I think that a retainer can be very intimidating and aggresive, that's all.

    @rjttq More, I am addicted to caffeine, which drains me and makes me feel bad.

    As addiction it is. The highs are great, but the lows are low.

    I am trying to quit caffeine for over 3 years probably and it is the devil to me.

    Checking in buddy - hope you’re doing OK and keep your hands off your dick and eyes off those websites!! We can do this buddy!!

    having a tough time myself at work with loads of stress… but likewise I seem to be past the point of it being a stress type reaction now… so pretty unlikely to resort to that sort of stress relief!! I’m over 11 months clean now… would be awful if I didn’t make a year!!

    Checking in, @Simorgh.
    Ah ok, I see what you're saying now. I do agree that there can be an increased aggression when on no PMO. I noticed this in myself that sometimes when I was on high streak of Hard Mode I just act little bit aggressively. I like it though, so it's all cool.
    But if it gets out uncontrolled can come up as a turn off for sure. But I don't think aggression is always bad. If we channel it right it can come out as self confidence. And people are attracted to it. But if you combine increased aggression with insecurity or a lot of suppressed anger then it can end up badly. Aggression is just energy, it's a drive, a fuel, how people use it is up to them. And at the same time while not watching porn might cause some aggression, due to not being so drained in energy, watching porn will hypersexualize the mind and turn you into a person that gives out creep vibes. So if I would have to guess which will end up turning women off more I think I would say it's not gonna be aggression. Cause while aggression might be intimidating, creepiness is straight up scary, ya namsayin'?

    Also, aggression is polarizing; some women might find it intimidating but others might find it attractive. But creepiness is just a turn off period, won't find anyone who likes it...
