**No Fap December 2011**

[Livelift]

Lets do it guys, finish off the 2011 year strong!

Obligatory info posted each month:

"What happens when you drop a male rat into a cage with a receptive female rat? First, you see a frenzy of copulation. Then, progressively, the male tires of that particular female. Even if she wants more, he has had enough. However, replace the original female with a fresh one, and the male immediately revives and gallantly struggles to fertilize her."


^ That's what is happening to you when you constantly watch porn. Every click of the mouse is another female that you mentally mated. Repeat this for 10 videos, 10 partners ... and all of a sudden you have no urge/motivation to pass on your genes via clappping real cheeks.

For you, rats, and all mammals, the desire to have sex arises from a neurochemical called dopamine. Dopamine amps up the centerpiece of the primitive part of the brain—the reward circuitry. It’s where we experience pleasure, and where we get addicted.

The ancient reward circuitry compels you to do things that further your survival and pass on your genes. At the top of our human reward list are food, sex, love, friendship, and novelty. These are called ‘natural reinforcers,’ as opposed to addictive chemicals.

The evolutionary purpose of dopamine is to motivate you to do what your genes want you to. The bigger the squirt the more you want something. No dopamine and you just ignore it. Chocolate cake and ice cream—a big blast. Celery—not so much. Sex and orgasm are the biggest natural blast of dopamine available to your reward circuitry. One of dopamine's nicknames is the "molecule of addiction."

Day 1

...Today was my first day of no PMO.

I have been masturbating since 15/16 years old. I have been watching porn since 3/4 grade. I am 23 years old.

I didnt really think I had an addiction till someone posted the yourbrainonporn.com link on a forum I frequent. Porn has always just kind of been there...

Day 12

...I went to the library two days ago and approached two girls. I never do that unless I'm at the club. Even then it takes a lot effort for me to do it. The first one I got her number (she was really cute and had a really kind personality) and the second one had a serious boyfriend but she was still flirting with me the entire time. I don't know what came over me. I saw them, got up from the computer desk, and approached them like it was second nature. When I finished talking to them, I have to admit I felt really proud of myself and happy. It was a huge adrenaline rush lol....

I have also been really introspective. Normally when I am around women I feel intimidated or looking for one that will give me attention or I will look for one that is down to do the dirty. So basically I used to have three categories of experience with woman-
1. Who is down to do some things? If so, pleaasseee give me attention. You maybe? You? How about you?
2. Intimidation. I used to feel really intimidated by woman. I would feel weak and inadequate. Like I did not stack up to them.
3. I am a man and I am higher than you in a very a$$hole way.

Now it's..........equal. I don't want anything from them. I am enjoying myself and just being me. I usually have to go to a doctors office and the woman staff there have been...dare I say it?....nicer to me. My voice is deeper and I have a more commanding presence. I feel separate from everyone elses drama.

Day 43

Hey guys, hope everyone is well.

I've been feeling great. The more I resist the urge to M the better I feel. For example, if I have a super horny night and resist it I wake up the next morning feeling amazing.

~I have a lot more courage

~I speak with a lot more clarity and control

~People and their issues don't bother me as much. I just allow them to be who they are

~I can hold eye contact with women

~Men respect me more. This has been really noticeable

~I feel like a man. Just this inner confidence...I feel like a rock

~I am not as groggy when I wake up

~I find myself meditating without even trying. I just go within and feel super great

~I hardly get nervous about anything. Just relaxed confidence

~My circle of friends and associates have been looking at me differently. Its like they can sense something different but they can't put their finger on it

~My face looks brighter and I don't look as tired as I used to. I feel and look a lot more alert

~Life feels more...real. There is a certain quality of it....

Anecdotal benefits:
Increased confidence
Libido coming back to life
General "Alpha" feeling
Increased Aggression
Bigger junk
Increased need to socialise
Rise in testosterone
