Official No fap Thread V4. Let get this shiz started. v3 is gone.

I am fast approaching day 90. In the first few weeks of no fap I found it quite difficult to break the habit but after week 3/4 it became very easy. At the minute I can completely control any urge I do get but sometimes wonder why I am depriving myself of a simple pleasure. Tbh I have been feeling like **** for the past while and am not feeling any of the suggested benefits of this. Having said that during this period I have has more sex than average but I think that could just be coincidence. The best thing I think I have learned about no fap, or rather what it has helped me realise, is that I am in total control of my actions.

So what do you guys suggest. Keep going past 90? Are the initial positive effects likely to reoccur? I'm very tempted to fap just for the hell of it come day 90 (Wed next week)

Are you in "total control" of your actions? It sounds like you are trying to rationalize going back to fapping. You go back to fapping, it will lead to binges, and eventually you'll end up back where you were before you even heard of No Fap.

Keep going past 90 days! It shouldn't even be a question.

Tonight marks Day 20 for me. Two more days and I will have surpassed my second-longest streak of 21 days!

Simple pleasures are those out for instant-gratification.

It's great that you're able to make it 90 days, but my personal experience is if you can make 90 days, why bother doing it ever again. Enjoy your fapping goals of life after day 90.

[MickyBoii]

The general idea of No Fap is that you "CAN" resume occasional fapping after a reboot (at least 90+ days) so long as you don't fap TO P0RN!! AFTER YOUR REBOOT, occasional fapping with NO VISUAL STIMULANTS (eg. p0rn, hnnng pics, FHM) has been somewhat 'okay'd' by the likes of Gary Wilson. Beware though that resuming fapping WILL increase desires/urges to fap to p0rn... for that reason, I'd wait quite a while after 90 days before I fap'd again.

It's dangerous territory and I'm not advocating it, but go to YBOP.com if you want some "Post 90 Days" advise.

That's very good advice Chrisyboy .The porn is public enemy No.1 and the fappin secondary.... It's a brain thing ! Although like yourself I'm defo not advocating it

Had a really strong urge today (day 19) but I was able to avoid it. Kind of weird tbh, haven't had any strong urges until now.
I have a basketball game to go to now though, so day 19 is successful! I'll probably head straight to bed after I get back home tonight.

[MickyBoii]

Had a weird, weird day.

Constant feeling of anxiety in my stomach for no reason whatsoever, it's kind of similar to that feel that I get when I relapse, feel all shakey and worried even though I can't pinpoint the worry to anything in particular. Apart from gym this morning I've spent the whole day not doing much, maybe this is the problem, not sure.

Its stange though, normally the days I spend doing nothing are the days I find it hardest to not fap/watch porn, but today has been really easy, no real urges or anything.. I'm hoping this is not the start of a flat-line or whatever they're called and rather that this is just an "off day". Day 16 is new territory for me, my past experiences of no fap have just been of a feeling of confidence/well-being after day 4 or so and this continues up until relapse and so feeling like this even though I'm further in than ever before is weird...

Anyway, just putting my thoughts out there lol, tomorrow is a new day and I reckon I'll be back on top of the world tomorrow..

This described my day today to a tee ,which was strange but not surprising as we are on the same streak!!

Think I need to break out of my comfort zone more than I have been.

[Batmayne]

supplementing no fap with ZINC is amazing, makes u feel like ur on dat god mode but wow it makes me hornier like crazy... anyone experience this?

I just started taking zinc 2 days ago because of suspected low test and after reading posts about it from dudes on here like Tobias. Also eating 3-4 brazil nuts before bed for the selenium which raises testosterone.

I suggest never fapping again since you are getting occasional sex anyway, fapping really isn't necessary. And because it would feel god-like just to know that you don't masturbate or watch porn at all, when 99 percent of guys can't boast such a thing. It feels good to be part of a minority.

Day 16: I'm pretty much immune to hhhnnnngggg threads. amigay?

[afjma8]

I think a lot of you have probably seen this video already, but I'm sure some haven't: search "The Great Porn Experiment: Gary Wilson at TEDxGlasgow" on YouTube for a great watch. I recommend watching this video in its entirety and giving it full attention as it'll allow you to see the effects this really has on us. At 13:47 he even shows this thread (an earlier version most likely) in a PowerPoint presentation he's displaying as he speaks, lol.

This video is the king of any informational source, IMO, on the subject. It's kind of crazy to think some of us may take 4-5 months to genuinely return to 'normal' in terms of erection quality, though, haha. I'm definitely going to block/delete any porn from my computer after viewing that video. Would embed, but I don't have enough posts yet brahs.

Day 16.

Well I've failed no-porn 2013. I played a stupid little game with myself. I go to a website with porn images and look out of the corner of my eye at them, until I get to a point where I figure this is too much. I'm flirting with failure because everytime I've done this before, eventually I say to myself "you've already failed anyway, might as well do it". Plus I'm too immature to think of anything more intriguing that to look at porn.

Old habits die hard. But in your patience you shall posses your souls.

Day 16: I'm pretty much immune to hhhnnnngggg threads. amigay?

No. My ******** friends share all kinds of Latina and Asian hhhhhhhngggg pics. I see them for what they are -- simply nice pics. Some of them "enhanced". Day 64. I still like the control and focus I have. I still get the "urge" every now and then, but it's not like many people would think. On a too-cold-to-go-anywhere Minnesota weekend night, Telemundo or Univision (even the weather chicks are fine as hell) tends to summon more "Fap Demons" than hhhhhnnnng pics.

just hit day 31 without PMO, now where to go from here?

you transcend into greatness at the fact that every guy you see on the street has to touch himself to make him feel good whilst you are control of mind.

After talking it all up large for '13..... I'm out. Today I experienced the weakness of my will power and the manipulative strength of my mind.

I start my first ever full time job this Monday (a very good paying and hard job that has been causing me A LOT of anxiousness and nerves lately) and I managed to convince myself that: "since I will be so busy from this Monday onwards, No Fap 90+ will be easy from next week onwards... So i might as well have a proper fap now to stop me stressing the phuck out over starting on Monday."

Did that fap stop me from stressing out? No it did not.
Did that fap make me stress out even more? Yes it did.

But oh well. Back on the wagon now. I've never been one of "those guys" who says that 'this is the last time' cause I know that it's not as easy as that. But I legitimately KNOW FOR A FACT that this new page in my life of finally starting my career will be the death of fapping for me (Gonna be way too busy / Finally gonna be earning money to go out and do sh!t / Being behind a computer screen is gonna be the LAST thing I'm gonna wanna do after a day a the new job).

CKY KNTS: Good luck, I hope not too many more of you will follow me out of that list. I don't feel like I'm in any place to dish advise from now until I get some proper gains in this no fap shizz.

Day 1.

[centrelink1]

This is called tapering and this doesn't work for most people. According to yourbrainonporn.com and myself, this makes cravings worse and if you fap it will end in binges. But everybody is different ofc

You might well be right. He just came up with it because he couldn't make it the proper way, and he's yet to actually try it

I think you're still in for no fap. Porn is porn. Fap is fap.

Stay strong brah. Glad you posted your failure itt (srs). It will help others to avoid failing, but it's also good for closure so you can start again.

Day 18 here. Had an intense nocturnal emission, feels good waking up and knowing I didn't cheat.

Yeah I think we all get those wave like urges, and like a wave they pass glad to see you held solid.

It's funny how we play these mind games with ourselves. You really need to shake it off man completely come on we're half way thru this month. You got this all you have to do is stay away from the edge. And dude I don't want to lose one more Canadian.

you transcend into greatness at the fact that every guy you see on the street has to touch himself to make him feel good whilst you are control of mind.

Welcome back bitch you scare us again and the neg train will leave the station. j/k ...... or am I?

Day 18 here. Had an intense nocturnal emission, feels good waking up and knowing I didn't cheat.

You know what, seeing your post everyday always inspires me to keep trying a little harder every day. Keep up the good work m8.

[mntbikedude]

Meanwhile in Phoenix I saw a 69 Chevelle SS 396 auctioned for $75,000. And a Ford Shelby mustang went for $100,000. I'm kind of a blue collar guy and this place just has way too many rich old people. So didn't have to worry about seening much hnnnng.

[mntbikedude]

Dreamed about porn again...

[ScottRose]

day 20 just started...
lets see how it goes

[Yashkovich]

Day 40!

[motorvation]

Oh yeah, about the cold showers, you know when you wash yourself down there, you might get too excited and then comes the horniness and all. Well, cold showers have helped me to gain control over that. So guys, whenever you get a hard-on in the shower, change the temperature to as cold as possible. That sure as hell will take your thoughts off masturbation.

Good luck people and stay strong!

This. I haven't gone full cold showers yet unless I've had an intense workout, otherwise luke-warm works just as well. On previous streaks I'd be mirin the erections I'd get when having warm showers (no homo) but in all honesty it only made no fap more challenging. It could be that I'm in a partial flatline phase but I haven't had any such issues this time around. Luke-warm/cold showers are best imo.

Btw brah we're on the same day. Lets do this.

Congrats to Motorvation and TheStaringFrog both celebrating 3 weeks today

Thanks. Time to get past 40 days (personal best) then chit will get real. It has been challenging so far though with the mood swings but I'm pushing through. I've got a different mindset this year. I'm more determined that ever to eat clean and workout. I'm trying to shred the last few kg's from my waist for those abs. Can see the first 4 abs, its just hard as chit to get a full 6 pack. Doing 10-20 mins daily on the treadmill, pushups, and crunches. I'm lifting dumbbells on off days. Next weigh-in is on the 20th of this month so will update my profile then. I expect to have lost some more weight, but there will become a point when gains will begin. I'm aiming for a strong, aesthetic physique that'll have bishes mirin.

On another note in the next month or so I plan to find some work in my field of study (quantity surveying) so that I can get some work experience while finishing my last year. I'm confident when I have a position (even if it's just part-time) that it will set me up for when I graduate. That's the plan anyway. No more phucking around this year. Working administration at a real estate branch over the break but need something else soon. Speaking of which, girl from previous posts of mine walks into the office yesterday whilst adjusting her top. Hnnnngggg. Ffffuuuuu. What a phucking tease. One thing I've noticed is that you learn to appreciate these moments rather than just going home and watching porn (and eventually fapping) for your kicks. Everyday chit like this is just what I look forward to and I'm starting to value these moments now.

Now, let's push on brahs. This is our time. This is our year.
