Challenging Myself

Hey people!

I'm UDK from Turkey, Istanbul. The reason I ended up joining the NoFap - Team is to challenge myself. Even though I dont see the negative effects of masturbating clearly in my life, I do think that masturbating and watching porn causes physical and mental tiredness( I used to fap 1-2 times a week). So to get rid of that side effects, improve my life quality and just to see if I can, I decided to stop masturbating.

On the other hand I still have questions like; Is masturbating some kind of necessity (without porn) if you dont get laid on a regular basis. I mean at the times I've stopped fapping for a week or two, I've started to realize I was walking with straight boner all the time and waking up at night with a jizzed boxers. Can anyone tell me, except having psychological side effects, can one masturbate 1-2 times a month without dirty porn ( maybe pictures that contains nudity or softcore porn).

That's my only concern about my Reboot. Im willing to listen your advises or questions from you guys. Thank you!

 

Thanks for your help, mate! I will proceed with my life without "necessity masturbate".

 

Day 6


I dont know if it is psychological but effects of stopping PMO is out there for the noticing sometimes. I was always confident but I am more confident nowadays and I make people laugh more than i did before. I feel comfortable talking to people and girls especially. I stopped over-thinking about little things. I feel more powerful when I go to gym or wake up in mornin with a full energy bar.

As for the urges and temptations, I cant say that they dont exist. But Im handling it all for now. It is kinda dangerous when I watch music videos or Scrolling down in my Instagram but I always tell myself that I dont need masturbating and it is a short termed pleasure. I write songs or read in my free-time, which are the times i used to masturbate to waste.

So things are going cool for me, maybe it is about stopping PMO or thinking as it is about stopping PMO. Anyways. Im happy!

 

Day 9

I've had some sexual thing yesterday but not actually had sex. After having that kind of pleasure and not busting a nut, I feel more urges to just pop one out and relieve. Should i do it? HELL NO! I'm resisting against my will, I will self-discipline, I'll improve, I'll strive to achieve. That's what Im destined for, to be the one who does extraordinary things. I'll keep my proteins inside me, and keep my self respect at its level just to upgrade it to higher levels. I'll keep my power just to lift more weight and to wake up everymorning with an ambition. Ambition to get things done! That's real words I spit, fellas. Anybody who doubts me will see me at the top of the sh*t I am trying to get top of! I am f*cking angry! Angry at myself for the times that I've been wasting my time, for the times I've been too lazy or been a spoiled f*cking kid. F*ck being a boy, I'm a MAN! I will DOMINATE!

 

Man, I really loved your approach on this, so let me thank you upfront for nice things that you've said.
As for the video; That video is the video which has introduced me to this website and it's philosophy. I really respect the facts about this experiment. I can say Im mentally improved about this subject since I joined here. Because I've witnessed the improvements happening in my life. Anyways Im more steady and strong in mind. sometimes I dont even get a urge to masturbate ( cant say the same for having sex). I've found my own way to deal with the problems so thanks for those journals, i'll check if i wonder other men's struggles but for applying the same ways in my life, i dont think its useful. I believe everybody has got to get their own way to deal with these kinda problems.

However, thanks for your support and help bro!

 

Day 12

Im keeping my body exhausted and my free - time fulfilled. So I dont have any urges to masturbate. I've started to think that masturbating is fooling yourself so Whenever old fella sends me signals about doing that kind of stuff, I tell myself to have respect for myself. I'm depressed half the time, but thats irrelevant to masturbating, its about me being realistic. Anyways, It's just same old me. Nothing much!
