NOFAP is not a Challenge or Experiment!

Different people have succeeded on their nofap journey in different ways, and here's how I've succeeded.

If you are even any bit serious about quitting your pornography and masturbation addiction you need to first dig deep inside yourself and ask, what are you even doing nofap for? Is PMO something that's holding you back in life, holding you back from accomplishing the goals that you want in life? Holding you back from where you want to be in life? If it's not then you don't need to be here. If PMO is holding you back and you're an addict, First you need to decide whether or not you actually want to give up this addiction PERMANENTLY. Because if you're still relapsing, edging, and peeking you clearly do NOT want to fully give up this addiction, you only partially want to whether you want to admit it or not this is the truth.

You see if you were any bit like me and treated nofap as a challenge "oh boy I hope I can reach day 14, or 30, 60, 90" damn relapsed, guess I'll hop on it again for real this time!" Or treating it like an experiment "I'm gonna go 3 months of nofap to see if the benefits are real like everyone says just to see if it works". You will fail every single time.

Because those doubts will always be there. "Well what if nofap dosent work, what if I don't get any benefits, what if I'm wasting my time doing it and it dosent work, I'm gonna miss out on all the new juicy porn vids and pics that are coming out!" "Fuck this challenge I'm horny I'll just relapse and start again Tommorow"

you'll keep doubting yourself and find an excuse to relapse at some point, then start up another streak and relapse again over and over until you decide you want TO FOREVER QUIT. Your biggest fetishes you have to dig deep down and decide on whether you want to forever give them up or not. You need to understand THAT EVEN IF NOFAP DOES NOT FULLY ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD, THAT IS FINE. ITS OK AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU GAIN WHAT YOU WANT FROM IT OR NOT, YOU WILL FOREVER GIVE UP PMO!

But so as long as you hover on this line of wanting to give it up, but doubting whether it will work and give you the results you want you'll never succeed.

You don't need a goal for what day, month, or years you want to reach. If you're an addict, whose life is being negatively affected by PMO, you need to make the decision that you are done FOREVER regardless of what mental state your in at any point in time, no matter how down and depressed you feel at any moment, PMO is something that serves you no purpose therefore you have no need to do it. End of story

I've never smoked, done drugs, or drank alcohol in my life, because before I ever couldve been peer pressured or told to try it I was shown and taught what it can do to people, how it can become addicting and destroy lives. So I never cared to ever even bother doing it. Could I do it in moderation, could I possibly control my consumption of drugs? Sure, but why even test the waters? No matter how many of my friends offered me weed, vapes, alcohol, I always refused because I did not want to possibly go down that rabbithole. And that's the exact way I see pornography and masturbation as now. After changing my mindset, I've reached a streak I never thought I ever possibly could. I still get urges here and there but I don't immediately think "FAP FAP FAP" I just think oh, I'm horny, cool, and go on about my business. I obviously do not look or search for explicit photos online, but I don't hide from any accidental exposure either. If I see a girl with a nice body, I glance for a second, think damn nice ass, boobs whatever and go about my day. If a friend pulls up a music video with twerking and half nude woman, I think damn nice bods, and go about my day.

I truly hope this helps atleast even one person on here, as I was stuck for over 13 years as an addict until I was finally able to dig deep inside and be honest with myself and be honest that all my relapses were not apart of "my journey", I simply did not want to fully leave behind PMO, and all the vids I watched, downloaded, and new content, I only hoped I could make it far enough on a streak to see if the benefits were real, to see if I could make it to X amount of days I was teeter tottering and not being fully honest with how addicted I actually was. It was my comfort, my safe spot in life, but I realized it's nothing more than just another form of short term pleasure, in which I lose nothing of value in giving up forever, regardless of whether it works or not.

And yes it does work, and I've experienced insane benefits.

 

Also I'm not against porn blockers, however I feel like if you've quit pmo mentally, than they shouldn't be necessary. Many times in the past I've used blockers but then spend HOURS upon HOURS to find a way to get around them. I would go to reddit NSFW, Patreon, YouTube, anything and then say fuck it and find a complete way around the blocker, because I already was able to find some kind of porn somewhere else even if the main porn sites were blocked. I was only focused on physically stopping myself from PMOing and ignoring the mental aspect. I wouldnt recommend relying on them because once you get around them or your in an area without them, you'll relapse since you're not mentally detached.
