Day 2 I managed to go over a month without p*rn/fapping, and then had some alone time with nm going on.....
Let me respond to you and Invisible Fan. I agree that to the point that people are so addicted to p*rn and fapping that it is affecting the rest of their life and/or that they can't interact normally with actual women that is a problem. I would say something like that might need more than just taking a no fap pledge but seeking other help. My own feeling is that less fapping and looking at p*rn isn't a bad thing and I salute guys for doing so but the direction this thread (movement) is taking is starting to resemble things like virginity pledges and what I heard as a kid that we should be ashamed that we fap. To me this might be part of a bigger problem that as a society we are dysfunctional when it comes to sex. Perhaps if we overall had a healthier relationship to sex, both alone and with others, this might not be an issue at all.
I recommend cutting down on sugar, especially if you get a few erections each day or you continue getting them a few days after starting this. Look up some of the negative effects of sugar. Sugar ages the body both internally and externally (your skin). It speeds up blood flow, and it makes the skin age much more rapidly and causes you to break out. Cutting down on sweets, sodas, carbohydrates (breads that have high fructose corn syrup) will help a lot. Look it up. Getting sucrose from natural sources (fruits) instead of processed is best.
Day 11. This is definitely gotten easier, but an urge can come out of nowhere. Luckily my new Elliptical machine is now installed up in my bedroom. Now I can throw on some righteous tunes and work out if I get the urge to fap.
I actually think some SHAMING approach should go toward THE WOMEN & the adult PERFORMERS. NOT actually in JUSTIFYING watching p*rn, but towards the actual no-fap RECUPERATION efforts of guys. Yes, think of them in a NEGATIVE light, not as some ANGEL. As though they're STEALING from you (Women and feminists have no issue tossing men under the bus. F**K them BACK for CHEATING the system) Like, just think that loose trollop you're looking at, you're letting her HOG all your attention UNDESERVINGLY. And giving her AN EASY WAY OUT in her life not having to work. She's actually OBJECTIFYING YOU as a SUCKER FALLING for it. (Anything you can do TO VILLIANIZE the INSTIGATOR of the sufferring. Its all fair game. But cuz guys are so WHIPPED, doesnt happen)
In another light, maybe the pron watching makes us become more SOCIALLY PROGRESSIVE people toward civil rights? I don't like the conntation much. Its almost like guys minds turn to mush with p*rn, and they're like "Yeah Yeah you can do WHATEVER you want, who gives a f**k about anything, just let me KEEP MY p*rn and we're good". But perhaps there's some unintended social positive effects :grin:
Ya know .... I'm thinking now that if it was NOT joking around and WAS serious, it can be justified. I'm not gonna say if I'm better or worse compared to the field. But I can certainly feel a little better about myself after reading through this thread, can say that much. Its a bit eye opening and disappointing the lack of will, or lack of wife.
I manged to go 6 days without a thought of fapping in my mind. Thank you All- Star weekend and UH exams.
You're trying to show your will to "hold it" for that "special someone"... you know... show that you can find that special girl (or guy, maybe)... and let them have it...
