Masturbationless May

Day 4, how you holding up lads? Have your workouts improved? I always get an energy boost during periods of nofap.

Also here are some pros and cons I've experienced during nofaps:

Pros:
-Energy boost
-More passionate about things
-More invested in other hobbies
-Not jerking off to traps and other such degeneracy

Cons:
-Constant thoughts about sex
-Starting to want to fuck anything that moves
-Stress from restraining yourself
-Not a magic solution to social anxiety/autism
-No way for sexual relief because of above

My longest streak was a week. Might go for a PR this month though.

Gonna meet a "thicc" girl for sex from tinder tomorrow. Haven't fapped for 6 days. I'm a fuggin virgin tho :DDDDDD

I don't fap, like never. I also don't think about sex much, even tho I get very frequent boners and get slightly turned on by everything, maybe even fucking slippers. I haven't been horny for months

I've jerked off twice before finishing reading your post

Lost last night, nofap is a meme anyways

Im 3 day nofap now

I'm a tired, sad little man who hates himself for being a fat fuck.

I stopped fapping about 6 months ago. I didn't notice any positive effects though. I go to hookers every few weeks, so I don't need to fear the wet dreams.

I'm masturbating because it doesn't negatively affect my great life :)

day 11, not feeling any different yet
the plan is to go for all of 2017

>bring girl home after a 12 hour date, no joke
>want her for more than a fuck buddy
>sleepy, can't get hard for shit
>sleep for hours, wake up hard and ready to fuck
>juices everywhere
>she wants to be fucked
>get hard and stick it in, she's stupid tight
>lose boner after like a minute
>end up making her squirt a few more times
>she leaves
>now my dick is diamonds as I still smell her juices everywhere

If I knew this shit was gonna go down I'd have nofapped for the last week. This is some head game bullshit and I've had this issue with the past three girlfriends until I gave up the porn fapping for a good week.

Learn from me faggots: if you're even in the ballpark of getting with chicks get on that nofap asap.

Last week I'd lasted for 7 days before busting to degenerate gobilty goop. Now I'm 6 days in again and I feel just fine because THIS TIME I'm working out, studying, and most importantly, I'M NOT EDGING OR LOOKING AT PORN--NOT EVEN TIDDIES.

Be careful! Last time I busted was on day 7, and I only lasted no longer than twenty seconds.

Britfag here, so it's 2am on day 5. Usually I would fap to get back to sleep and instead I'm just lying awake.

It's been easy until now but yesterday I was around an unusually high number of unusually high quality qt3.14s. It felt good being able to talk to them without feeling like a piece of degenerate shit but now I can't stop thinking about them.

I'm struggling, Veeky Forums.

I believe in u user

im still going through "the slump"

i didnt sleep much last night and it's just making it harder not to jack off, but im staying strong

constantly want to fuck though

You guys do realize this is a meme, right? Not fapping won't suddenly change your life. Now, if you're a porn addicted sicko, yeah, u gotta cut that shit. But fapping when u feel like it is normal. idk if I'm high t or something but if I dont fap i become too horny. even after fapping i can still flirt w girls.

I started an antidepressant and it's killed my libido. Completely gone.

Thank (u).
We'll get through this together.
Of course it's a meme, just like religion is a meme. But any exercise in self-discipline is satisfying and good for a person's self-respect. And fapping, for me, has become incredibly depressing.

This has been surprisingly easy. I started April 30 and still haven't had any sexual desires. Kind of worrying to be honest family.

>I'm just lying awake

That's how relapse happens. It's better to get out of bed and browse shit. Never (n e v e r) go to bed if you're not actually tired.

would have been 4 for 4 but I had a wet dream. they come out of nowhere

Lost hard.

To much stress in my day to day life.
Plus got problems with the gf.

Feels shitty desu

I got horny and looked at gay hentai for the first time so I suppose I lost

it's the hardest at first but then it gets super easy. just be careful because it can fuck with you and you won't be able to get it up. you will also start having wet dreams after a while since the old semen has to be removed

This. Although depending on if the girl is cool or not and how long your refractory period is you can just go again.

I would advise busting sometime before the actual meetup, like if its in the evening jerk it in the morning. At least for me after I do no fap for a week the say that I bust Im still horny as fuck the rest of the day but have some stamina after the first go.

>it can fuck with you and you won't be able to get it up

I don't care. I'm not planning to have sex this year and possibly all of 2018 too. I want to purge until there's nothing left.

>you will also start having wet dreams after a while

I've never had one, so I'd welcome them. I wanna know what it's like.

Fuck this phone, meant for

Is this meme real? Do some people start looking at weird shit on nofap?

I've only heard the opposite honestly. I've seen a few people drop the sissy meme shit after not masturbating for a few weeks.

Wet dreams don't count.

4 days in, and

>feeling a little depersonalized
>thinking about sex
>queasy feeling occasionally

I don't know, I started on the first after realizing I just didn't feel like getting off. Does it actually do anything? Supposedly it might make it a bit more clear to think, since I have some brain fog.

>tfw anxiety
>not turbo autist can't leave my house or speak with people
>just enough that I have shit wet dreams without masturbating for ~5 days

>maybe even fucking slippers

if I do 90 days and I still don't know what a wet dream is like I'll stuff myself full of zinc and the other meme pills

7 days here, then my prostate started acting all mad so I let out..... didn't feel nearly as epic as I would have though after stopping from years of 1-3 a day. It was more like going to the bathroom. Maybe because I had been thinking so many very vivid sexual things all week and having a lot pleasure without actually fapping.

I did notice I had a lot of irrational anger all week though, and the first day after cumming I had zero mads. I really wanna get over the internal autistic meltdown over shit that I just imagined. I just have to remember it used to be worse.

I lasted 7 too but I lasted a long time while jerking it since I kept wanting to change my mind and not... but then I realized my prostate would just hurt worse.

90 days today.

I'm 8 day no-fap/no-porn. Willing to last 3 month. Wish me luck, I can't wait more than a day usually...

Havent cum in around a month and dont feel the urge either.
Thinking about releasing soon though for health reasons. Not sure how serious the prostate cancer risks are.

I have made a calendar on excel for workouts and stuff I have to do related to university and side job. I decided to put NoFap on it. 7 days since I last fapped. I decided to fap once a week, so today is the day. Every Friday is. So on friday it says NODEGENERACY Fap. It really helps you to not stray away from the right path. You could give it a try, if you'd like to end degenerate porn. Maybe you don't. There is nothing wrong with degenerate porn. It's all in your head. But it's better if people wouldn't find out.

Guys, if you really feel the need to relapse, just fap to your imagination, however fucked up, just don't do porn.

I have read that it is possible to empty the prostate with massage, rather than having to actually fap/cum. Not sure how one goes about it though.

did no fap last month. NOTHING happend. its just stupid to think it will improve anything at all.

I used to chronically masturbate and had death grip

Like i'm talking i'd fuck my gf 11 times in one day and i'd still be jerking off in the shower.

It lead to a degree of erectile dysfunction. Like if we tried to "plan" sex, i would get flustered and not be able to gain an erection even if i were turned on. Occasionally, i would be hard, get inside, then go soft.

Now i know about getting viagra from online pharmacies so i always have on on me just in case, to ensure I can seal the deal. I also try to masturbate a lot less; i only do it every few days now.

No fap is bullshit. It wont help your autism levels anything. Unless you're addicted to jacking off.

Nofap improves you to the level you should be without depleting your sperm/semen often or frying your dopamine receptors. It brings you back up to baseline

If you do nofap and experience no changes, your baseline is shit. Sorry, but its the harsh truth - you're not getting much better because you don't really have the capacity to improve much at all anyways. Sucks to suck, thats life

If you ARE seeing changes, keep it up, the improvement continues more and more the less often you spill your seed. Dont be fooled by the "its a meme" posters, feel bad for them because they don't know any better and can't experience it themselves. Its like explaining music to a frog, it is simply out of the realm of their experience

BTW benefits don't end when a streak does. Someone who didn't masturbate all week but did so yesterday is still far better off than someone masterbating daily

thank you based Jackie. But how long should a nofap last? A month? Two? Year? Surely there must be some disatvantages after a certain time without fapping/having any sex

Your body has 7 main hormone glands. You do not control the hormones secreted, they are released by your body at the appropriate time and level based on internal and external conditions.

The testes are the only gland which can release their contents by you physically exciting them. Overstimulation of these glands taxes them heavily, and in turn taxes your body. The hormonal glands are central to the functioning of the body, and if they are depleted the body will focus on rejenerating them above other bodily functions. To reproduce you need a sperm and semen supply - if you deplete this supply the body will prioritize nutrients and energy to your testicles to regenerate your depleted system over and above using it anywhere else.

Body works fine. You don't worry about the body sorting itself out, it has billions of years of memmory in the DNA telling it how to run, an intelligence a billion times your conscious intelligence keeping everything ticking. When you eat an apple, you don't need to think about turning it into musle fiber, blood cells, hormones, or sperm. Body simply does.

If too much seminal fluid saved up, body will handle it. It will reabsorb it for use elsewhere, or release it when you urinate. It is absurd to think that the body is incapable of handling the reproductive organs without outside intervention. No other animal in the wild so compulsively expels its semen. Only a foolish man would trick himself into cleaning pipes which have millions of years of experience cleaning and maintining themselves.

Yogis and monks do not release their semen, for decades and lifetimes. Many millions of celebate priests and devotees do not ejaculate. No problems, no issues, no increased rates of genital problems (in fact theirs are healthier as they are not consantly beaten and depleated).

Millions of un neutered animals in captivity. No semen release, no problem.

The idea that man must deplete his testicles on a regular basis is quite ridiculous

>i'd fuck my gf 11 times in one day and i'd still be jerking off in the shower

When did this place get so teenaged?

Thanks, so I guess Im safe not emptying my balls for the rest of my life I guess

Well, you are, but I doubt you can do it.

I'm on day 7 and heavily struggling. My best streak was 6 months but my life didn't improve much.

At the moment, the biggest benefit I get from it is having more energy, which helps me workout a bit more. But on the contrary, I get really pissed of by everything, it's not a pleasant feeling.

How do you guys handle it?

Well its a different story for everyone else. I have been addicted to fapping most of my life, sometimes doing it even 6+times a day. For me its a question of discipline. If I can put my mind into this and break my addiction I will be able to do anything. Since I started nofap week ago I found a part time job on weekends (school on weekdays), decided to start going swimming once summer starts (huge step forward because I always hated every single sport,I have bad mind/body coordination) and I have decided to work even harder once summer starts, I dont want to spend another summer in front of my computer screen. I want to change things around, I want to be successful one day. It may seem small but nofap is just one of the many stepping stones I will need to achieve anything

I'm 26 years old and work for a pension company

Lmao excuses

6th year practicing Psychologist here,

This user is not wrong, I'll add to it for some further explanation.
You gents are undertaking a massive switch and continued practice of self control over your risk-time-reward and the hormones and feelings that coordinate with that.

To add, what is rarely talked about in any of the threads I've seen, which I might be putting together an infographic or start a thread about, is what NoFap and masturbation control actually does to your subconscious, which is the most impressive and important part.

NoFap not only has influx over the release and quantity of the sex hormones, other hormones released and regulated potentially aid the person in other factors such as draw of attention, increase of control over attention time and stabilizes the dopamine and serotonin levels and how they are released.
There is much to be said about these because this is what regulates much of our thoughts and processes, what makes you choose doing something productive in a medium to long term cost-time-benefit window compared to the immediate and easy low hanging fruit of masturbation.

I also want to make note that within my field, the next generation, born from 2000 to 2004 are experiencing some serious lack of self pleasure control and impulse control due to the ease and regulation of their environments and ease of gaining material to pleasure themselves.
The demographics on here, 20s-30s, our stimulus vehicles are potentially some of the last in human history to be wired from the previous generation of having a relatively based self reward release and having an easier and greater potential to control self.

The next generation are so hyper sensitized and sex based that their hormones and will power is so greatly diminished and the ease of obtaining something that they require in their subconscious is for lack of a better term, fucked.

I'll be around for a while this morning to answer any questions anyone has.

I've always been curious, what kind of porn do you guys watch that's so bad you need to nofap??

I usually break the cycle and masturbate like once a week, when I feel really frustrated, powerless and useless.

It's true that NoFap helps me retain my attention and focus over long periods of time, but I feel like I get crazy if I don't do it at least once a week. I really want to cut it out altogether, but there are times when it becomes my only form of satisfaction and I go for it...

Would really apreciate any kind of advice.

For me it's piss, shemales/traps, pretty much the whole spectrum of hentai, those are the ones I'm most ashamed of.

There is more degenerate porn which I haven't gotten into yet, like scat, bestiality, etc

Luckily I haven't fell for the cuck meme yet, I really need to stop now before the point of no return. I broke my streak last night, but it's time to get right back on the wagon.

how to get rid of panic attacks/how to prevent them/how to relieve them

also, how much money do you make/year, six years is a long time

very insteresting read. Im the one you responded to and Im just 18. I feel pretty bad already even for my current generation. Im the only guy in my class who actually ever worked/works a part time job. Everyone else just asks for money from their parents. While I want to go to university because I have a certain lifeplan already, everyone else shamelessly admitted they want to go just because they dont want to work and want to basically leech off their parents for few more years. And In case you guys are thinking about moving somewhere else from america because it seems bad.... Im eastern euro... Hope that tells you something about state of society in coming years

Taking the verbiage and approach you posted, here is my take.

Check in with your feelings of what makes you feel powerless and useless, those are tell for abuse of self or done upon you, especially at young age.
These are very potent emotions due to the chain reaction they cause to one's self, especially within the realm of control.

Your addiction in the past has been so easy to gain with very little cost your subconscious does not have the ability to adjust as quickly as your newly found control can.
That satisfaction needs to be built back up slower and with more ease, cutting "cold turkey" is not the best way of adjusting an addiction with some.

Couple ways of fixing this:
>Environment based adjustments, when the stem feeling or urge strikes or comes across your mind, remove yourself from your immediate environment or website (whatever triggered that stimulus). The faster your remove yourself from the source of triggering, the easier your control will come back to you.

>Concept and viewing success, very common and very under discussed way of setting up systems and targets to cross and achieve is to view your continued success and journey in better terms, timelines and increments.
Instead of looking at by week, try calculating the hours you haven't relapsed.

>Void filler and time sinks, find that hobby, find that idea you wanted to build up, find that something that you "know" and feel you should be doing or have done months/years ago and ease yourself into it as a time sink and once following step 1, replace yourself, environment and substance to this new foundation and build it up, make sure it's not too large of a task as that will trigger a relapse, start small as in step 2.

Let me know if you would like further details, you can do this dude.

I'm from eastern europe too, 24, graduated uni, never worked, and let me tell you some facts:

>here, the average pay is 250 euro per month, regardless if you are a garbage man or if you are a uni graduate
>it is literally impossible to get yourself your own place to live since you will have to work 2 lifespans only to get an apartment
>the only people getting more are the ones involved in political stuff, one way or another
>the only way to get a decent job is to be related with someone inside there to get you in, skills or anything like that do not matter
>I always dream of leaving this shithole, but kinda gave up on everything before I even reached high school
>I will not reach 25 in this stat, I will either see some changes or end myself, no other option

Panic Attacks are trigger based mechanisms and responses that are very difficult to tame but it is achievable.
The issues with these attacks is the deep roots that spreads among triggers and the lack of control of these external triggers.

I would recommend finding a therapist and begin from the start of your life to now being as honest as possible, your therapist will keep track of your perception and out put and they will inject input in areas of concern and issue.
Deconstruction of your past will find you the answers to rebuild healthier.
Trust the process, it's hard because you have trust issues but unless you really want the ultimate power in life, self control of thoughts and emotions, you need to take the first steps.
Mid 6 figures but it's because I own my own practice and go above and beyond the traditional clipboard and couch therapy as our generation needs more help and direction.

You are experiencing something billions of people are going through my friend, it's the existential crisis(have it be quarterly or midlife crisis) being fast forward years if not decades from when it used to sprout.

This entire generational "laziness" and non-motivational nihilistic approach is what you may hear about from anyone in the mental health fields as the "Mental Health Crisis" because we have the entire generation of over stimulated and abused (all forms) experiences that the lack of empathy is just years/decades of conditioning by the environment, peers and outlook.
From what I pick up, you are scared, depressed and don't know where to turn and these emotions at the end of the day are completely fine and healthy. You already are ahead of your generation and peers due to your working and dedication in your job and lifting.
Beyond these, where do you find your desires to be floating or being drawn towards? This is your subconscious doing the lifting here so be completely sincere and direct and there you/we can peel away to the core.

Thanks for responding, really apreciate the advice.

I'm not sure if that's it, but since I was very young my parents, friends, and generally people around me always made sure to tell me how shit I am and how I will never be able to do anything no matter how much I try, on top of getting physically beaten quite alot, but that is just normal in this place.

One of the only lessons I learned from my parents is that I should always be submissive, always go "by the book", never prove my point if it bothers others, no matter if I'm right or wrong. I was never able to be like that and it backfired alot, I almost never talk to anyone unless it's really necesary and I cut off all my connections to all my friends and relatives since I always felt inferior to them, in any situation, so I prefered to avoid them.

What I'm really curious about is why am I the only one that ended up like this? The people in the same generation as me were not treated much different (except the fact that their parents didn't really try to make them feel like shits), but it looks like I was the only one who got the worst.

>people around me always made sure to tell me how shit I am and how I will never be able to do anything
Emotional and mental abuse via manipulation for control.

>on top of getting physically beaten quite alot, but that is just normal in this place
There is nothing normal or healthy about physical abuse (control). This is signs of trauma and requires levels of therapy to rationalize and understand.

>I cut off all my connections to all my friends and relatives since I always felt inferior to them, in any situation, so I prefered to avoid them.
Do not be alarmed but this is a very very VERY big red flag my friend.

>why am I the only one that ended up like this
You aren't, you have survived this far, this long and found yourself in this location at the very time I and others whom are interested in gaining control of their lives at this very point.

Therapy of many flavors and kinds have the stigma against them due to people like your family and abusers to keep people like yourself under their control and manipulation, this is your sign and time to regain control, show yourself you can exercise your own decisions and boundaries and set forward in life.
Just like lifting, this is going to take time, lots of time and dedication and effort. You have it inside you to make healthier decisions, I would recommend the follow through of acting on it and finding yourself a quality therapist, if you are a male in your mid 20s, a female -married, perhaps a mother to be a prime examples of what to look for.
It's time to rewire yourself and make sense of the past my friend.

Just fap randomly. Notice I haven't in a week now so I guess I'm on for this may. No special feeling, just normal.

Realize I'm pretty much developing oneitis currently for this girl. Haven't felt a certain way about any girl since I was 14-15. 18 now. Don't even talk to her except exchanged some random words at class because of the shit circumstances. (She's a teacher's assistant currently at my school for a couple weeks, studying to become a teacher at uni) and I'm a fucking student. She's like 20-21 I'd assume. Fuck man, is there even any probability of something happening in these circumstances? I don't have that much trouble talking to people, but I'm not 'good' at talking to people I don't know, especially girls since I barely ever do. So that lowers the chances of anything happening further. Further, I'm semi-fat but currently cutting. My posture and stuff is good and I don't really look fat with clothes on though. About 190cm so not a manlet. At least the thought of her motivates me in the gym and eating healthy.

Fuck life, man.

>the next generation, born from 2000 to 2004 are experiencing some serious lack of self pleasure control and impulse control due to the ease and regulation of their environments and ease of gaining material to pleasure themselves.

I'm older than most people here but I had a roommate born in 1999 recently. That kid was fucked in the head. I think easy access to loli porn since he was 12 made him a mess. Rich parents too, so he doesn't feel a need to actually work ever. It felt like dealing with a toddler 100% of the time, it was terrible.

That's unfortunate.

How did he end up? Are you guys still in contact?

Just friendly reminder you share this site with these fuckers.
Remember that time when we pretended to like MLP but some sad fuckers took it too far and started jacking off to them? Its the same with lolis.

Still in contact online, but we're in different countries now, so that's normal. Having said that, I do not wish to see him in real life ever again.

Remember when we ironically supported trump, then autists took it seriously and he now has 48% national support?

Veeky Forums is unique and that is why I frequent here for my practice and understanding my clients, majority of them frequent here at least 5-10 times a month.

This place is unique that there is believe it or not a massive in-group preference and dividing factor for everyone.

Good man, keep him far away from the boundaries.
Did he ever address or want to get help?

nice bait

It's not going so good.
Fucking dick is diamonds all the time.

Had to block all porn sites to stop me from watching

>not a massive in-group preference and dividing factor for everyone.

>Did he ever address or want to get help?

Not really. He's really into the loli thing, it's practically part of his identity. I don't think he sees any problem with his behavior in general.
I have shit impulse control myself, I could possibly even be diagnosed with BPD, but he was on a whole different level.

No, seriously.
People connect with a certain board and stick with it until they leave or find something that pushes them away.

Board loyalty/hatred is massive and the hierarchy is hilarious.

From what you mentioned, sounds like everything in his life has enabled him to do so and grow in that direction.
Shame but that is the crisis we are facing.

Don't frame or beat yourself into thinking you have BPD, keep it in the back of your midn that it may have been/is a quick chapter or event in your life that allows tendencies and symptoms to arise that have traits of BPD symptoms.

>Don't frame or beat yourself into thinking you have BPD, keep it in the back of your midn that it may have been/is a quick chapter or event in your life that allows tendencies and symptoms to arise that have traits of BPD symptoms.

I don't know about the "quick chapter" part, I've been like this for a very long time. I've had severe identity issues and dissociation since I was a kid. I could have been jailed or died several times over but I lucked out.
I currently keep myself in check by doing keto. Sugar can send me off the deep end in a matter of days. Anyway, the dissociation has been constant and uninterrupted for decades and it will take something very drastic to fix that.
