2 more days will mark my 2 and a half week of nofap

Great job on the streak! I don’t have time to reply to everything on here, but the “benefits” are kind of dependent on yourself, on what you decide you want to go do

As far as semen production, it doesn’t keep building up infinitely. I relapsed on a 74 day streak last year and had the same amount of semen as when I relapsed at around 25 days. So I think there is a maximum amount that is held within the testicles,

maybe the old semen gets reabsorbed into the blood steam, idk

the urges will never completely go away, not unless you become like a complete expert at semen retention like an old user on here named Modern Milarepa

 

It’s worth it to reach 90 days, it’s a better life without porn and masturbation.. you just have to get past the uncomfortable urges that occur periodically, but the rest of the day besides the urges are better overall

as far as confidence and women, idk what to say. It depends on your current lifestyle and social circle I think. Also, depends on how often you are around single women

 

I'm in a similar situation, don't really have a social circle besides my coworkers and like 10 classmates at this school I am taking classes at. However, tonight at the grocery store I made an approach to a girl, we talked about 4-5 minutes but she said she had a boyfriend when I went for the number at the end. And I'm only on a 6 day NoFap streak, and I had the increased confidence to go for it. For me, it takes about a week for me to be more willing to make approaches.

But I do think we are at a disadvantage by not having a social circle... But in a way we can be at an advantage, too... Because by not having any social circle, we can become part of the girl's social circle more easily. If we had a big friend group, we might have a harder time getting our friends and the girl's friends to get along. But if its just us, we can kind of squeeze in there.

I'm pretty sure most girls have a social circle, I think its pretty rare for them to be just by themselves all the time. I don't know if any girls are like that actually, all girls have a social circle I think.

So this could be how we are at a disadvantage by not having a social circle: maybe the girl will not like us as much because we are living in a way that she cannot comprehend.

But either way, for guys like us who are sort of just on our own, we will need to get inside of a girl's "social circle" and become part of her "world of connections".

Another perspective to go for if you don't have any social circle... is to be the girl's "secret lover". Maybe she won't talk about you to her friends at all, but she hangs out with you one on one, kind of in secret

So those are two possible options: join into the girl's social circle as a romantic partner, or be her secret lover that she doesn't tell people about. Eventually, if you begin as the secret lover, she might choose to bring you into her circle of friends
