Bish thanks for your concern. It's been a crazy past month. I have really appreciated how you have kept the chains group inspired and going. I'm dealing with some difficult things in my personal life that at some point I will go into. But I just kind of felt like my situation was hopeless and porn and fapping made the pain go away at least for a moment. Of course it didn't help but simply made everything worse. I honestly don't know the answer I know right now if it wasn't for Tobias sending me a message on FB and telling me that V6 was up that I would have delayed restarting yet another day.
You guys are a pretty amazing group of brahs.
AWESOME WORK TOBIAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Attention tobias
Tobias just watched the introduction video and I have to say that was amazing ..... my first thoughts were wow he has really grown as a person. I loved the way you layed things out. Great insights that you have gained and the positive way you presented them. Second I am deeply humbled by your kind words and honestly they couldn't have come at a more critical time. I had felt beaten down and watching your video inspired me to get back in the game.
Tobias thank you for the way that you have included the chains.cc group and made it possible for us to work together in a combined effort as opposed to conflicting even competing efforts. You have really shown amazing leadership ability in pulling this together. I know we all have been on your back about getting V6 posted. But I think that we can all see that this was worth the effort and I see V6 as not just a thread for bb.com members but a resource that people will come to from outside of the bb.com.
Again kudos for your effort and look forward to reading through all of this valuable information. I look forward to someday doing a video interview with you and I think that would be a good excuse for you to do some backpacking here in Utah. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...luzzi_2007.jpgYou can, and need to find a ground that you know you are suppose to stand on.. hence, stand your ground, this is the place where you know everything is as it should be for you.

I'm going to give this a shot and see what happens. My first goal will be to make it to April 9th for a specific reason I will keep to myself.
Last time I fapped was earlier today. I probably average once per day. Some days I won't at all, some days I'll go 3 or 4 times if I have the house to myself.
Haven't ever had any problems with ED (other than the occasional whiskey dick), but I know I do it too much. I have a large collection of pornographic images I never look at, but I spend a lot of time (probably an hour a day on average) searching for the next perfect picture or video. The material I have used has steadily progressed to be more and more extreme. I am concerned about what kind of fukked up sh!t I may "need" in 5-10 years if I continue.
I guess for me, the biggest problem I have with it is the amount of time I waste doing it.
I am married, and I smash my wife almost daily, so I will not be abstaining from orgasm entirely, just masturbation and porn.Don't complain about the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do.

Impressed, well spoken and well put together.
Izzo, how about maybe dropping the thought of telling the therapist about porn and fapping? I think its too much on your plate and will cause you some anxiety and in the end you wont end up going. (ie you'll chicken out)
Just know that there not there to judge you in any way. I think if you do those two things it should relieve a lot of your anxiety/fear.
I think a good place for you to start is to talk about your social anxiety. In the first session they might ask whats bringing you there. You can just say you want some support in dealing with your social anxiety, and that you have never had a girlfriend and lack confidence to get one (totally understandable) (if thats the case?) and that you want to build your self esteem and that you want to overcome your internet addiction since your wasting a lot of your time. Something like that. Its up to you what you want to talk about and what you want to reveal. After the first session its going to be smooth sailing. Just dont procrastinate on it due to fear of judgement or what ever. You might let this go for another year and then do it and look back and say "**** man, why didnt I do this a year ago".

Unfortunately the majority of Miscers enjoy watching porn and playing with their bollocks too much, to the point where they'll get butthurt over the fact that you stopped:
"Lol, it's a waste of time. There are no benefits to giving up porn and fapping. Porn and fap master race...."
Then leave me to it, and I'll leave you with your poison.Last edited by BishopGaines; 03-16-2015 at 01:33 PM.

I've never had a stash of porn stored on hard drives at all. I guess I got to porn late growing up during the boom of streaming sites. Even till this day I'm struggling with that. It's like there are a load about amount of tube sites every where. It's a shame when Instagram, ******** and Twitter isn't helpful to roam or browse safely. There are always models on there posting highly sexual images. I guess I will have to reduce my time on those.
But I relapsed yesterday. Today is a new day. 1/90..

Never had much of an interest in complete no fap, but no porn is appealing and I'm now at 1 week, blocked the sites from my browser too. Not doing hard no fap because I've worked hard as fuk on Tinder and real life to get a good rotation of girls to send me nudes on a consistent basis, and I can't avoid fapping to that chit, especially when some girls actually wanna see it. But no porn makes sense and I have a goal of making it to June (the end of the semester). I wasted so much time just finding the perfect video and then taking my time to "make it count", and I don't wanna be left wondering how much more productive I could be getting that extra time to sleep or do something else each day. With the time I've wasted on porn I probably could have read half of the Western canon or learned another language. That's sad when I really think about it. Wish me luck brahs

I must be in around 40 days no fap
This weekend I woke up with this huge hangover. For some reason I woke up horny as fuk, remembering some girl, so I went and jerked it for about a minute and I don't know how but I was able to stop. **** was intense
Did I fail?
Also, if I get to **** some girl, won't I bust fast as fuk? I swear less than a minute jerking it while hungover and I was ready to go

thanks both of you for the responses
The main reason I got into this is because I believe masturbating to porn gave me mild ED.
So I've been reading some things about rebooting and decided it would be better to do both (no porn + no fap).
It's never been full on ED... but after the first time it happened, it started to get on my nerves, and so far it's happened again a couple of times
Idk if it's purely from the anxiety I developed after I couldn't get it up for the first time or it's because of the porn usage (never been really addicted to porn, but I would masturbate to porn a couple of times per week)
Either way, even if the ED is not from the porn usage, I think it's something that has to go. I want to get that fear of not being able to get it up with a new girl away from my head, and I am willing to try everything that makes sense

Great thread, thanks OP. I haven't jerked it to porn in 38 days. Have had more trouble with nofap doe, longest streak being 16 days and now on day 7. Want to get to 90 days nofap, but I agree that porn is responsible for the most damage.
I've overcome a drug addiction in the past, and I can honestly say that it doesn't hold a candle to cutting this **** out of your life. Stay strong brahs

Thank you for the call out. Even though I've disengaged from the discussion, 150 days of no PMO did help to reveal the real root of my issues.
I do believe there are some people out there with porn and fap addiction issues, even if I wasn't one of them. I'm sure this thread and support will help them to resolve it - so I commend you for your continued efforts and good intentions.
