Anyone else doing /NoFap/ here? How long have you been winning?
How do you guys stay clean? I feel like a helpless slave to the urges. It's taken over my life and I want out.
>>28511690
Fuck it. I'm doing it. 7 days.
4 days in so far.
I personally am socially isolated and combined with being a 22 y/o virgin and this weather, its truly agony.
Im mostly doing it in the hopes that my combined amount of stress from work, the hot weather and craving for a fap will kill me
>>28511690
> no fap
fuck off normies
>>28511690
6 days currently.
I'm starting to become a God. This must be how Kanye West feels 24/7
>falling for the nofap meme
Your sexual deviancy does not come from constantly fapping but your shitty diet. If you wanna fap less, change your diet. It does not make you more confident either, its a placebo. By reading this, I have ended the placebo for you so it won't work.
Now change your diet and exercise.
>>28512366
What if I have a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and don't fap often? How would you solve my shit, oh wise anon.
Bit over a month here
I have had probably 3-4 wet dreams already though
Protip: everyone claiming that not fapping makes them confident and makes you socially great is bullshitting
Despite what i said above, i still find notfapping to be pretty good idea, because i used to fap several times a day and spend a shit ton of time to porn etc. so i find nofap useful on that side that i wont spend time to porn and feel shit afterwards
>>28511690
Just started again. Longest one was last year november, 37 days. Longest streak this year was 17 days.
>>28511794
Avoid porn. Avoid thinking horny thoughts.
That primarily means keep yourself occupied with other stuff, which has as an additional advantage that you actually get a lot of shit done. Survive the first week and the rest is easy.
>>28512402
>Protip: everyone claiming that not fapping makes them confident and makes you socially great is bullshitting
It might be placebo, but i do feel a lot better when 4-5+ days into no fap.
I really do not give a shit if it is no fap or placebo doing it, i just reap the profits so to speak.
>>28511794
Idle hands are the devil's workshop. Find something productive and stimulating to occupy yourself with that will override the urges.
Nofap is pretty useless after the first 5-7 days. No real changes, just makes me more frustrated and anxious and on edge and also way more horny, which isn't great since i'm not getting any girls.
Yeah, eventually you get so horny you'll start trying harder, but if you're not getting laid right now, not masturbating isn't suddenly going to make you get laid.
I'd recommend nofap only for people who have a genuine addiction, or for people who are already having regular sex or planning to. My dick is a lot harder if I havent jerked off for a week so thats nice when fucking. That's about it though.
Porn on the other hand, that you should absolutely cut out. Much easier said than done, though.
>>28511690
14th day here, sadly i was tempted last night and touched my self a bit, but didnt shoot so it doesent count
its getting really tempty, especially with all the QTs posted in the feel threads
Started NoFap in June 2015.
Last time masturbated on 21st March 2016
Currently on day 52
Unfortunately I still tend to sometimes watch porn though I don't want to and it damages me.
>fapping more than once every two weeks
shiggy
>wake up with a raging boner every morning an hour before my first class
>fap for 30 minutes, shower, go to class
every day this week.
I've accidentally been doing it for 4 days. I started lifting on Monday, then realized this morning that I haven't fapped since then.
I've felt amazing all week, like, a man and a half. I'm not sure whether to put it down to lifting or nofap.
I think I'll continue.

Try no 4chan instead, something that is actually useful.
>>28513441
But it's so fun to see people say things under the cloak.

>Anyone else doing /NoFap/ here?
Hellno, nofap is pure idiocy.
>>28513237
I went five months without fapping. It takes a conscious decision on your behalf whether or not to fap. Sure, you may become aroused at some points in your journey, we all do, but you're the one who makes the choice and the effort to stimulate yourself.
I've found that if I see something that makes me aroused, there's a grace period for me to make the choice to turn around and do something productive; it's when I actually start stimulating myself that it becomes extremely hard for me to step on the brakes.

Food and sleep are necessities your body needs to live. You do not need porn to live.
>>28513521
>You do not need porn to live
You also don't need shoes and showers to live, anon.

>You do not need porn to live.
Without porn you're an anxious cuck.

I did NOFAP for almost 6 Months
I stopped to see if everything was fine down there
and I'm back to NOFAP. not wasting my precious energy on illusions anymore. no thanks.
Fapped on Monday. Before that, I had fapped last Tuesday. I'm gonna keep it to 1 fap per week. It's not nofap but I don't want my dick to die. I'm training it to fuck, I don't think sex is worth so much but there's a girl I need to keep.
I miss masturbating twice a day real bad, though. I'm dying to cum.
nofap is not a board
please do not put it in board slashes
>be in a bad mood from time to time
>think fapping will make me feel better for some reason
>done fapping, feel even worse than I felt before fapping
I'm tired of this mess. I need a change.
I did nofap for 3 months. Once you've made some attempt to stop fapping, there's no further benefits. Just never go back to watching porn.
The redditors telling you to go for 1 year, 2 years, etc. are insane.
>>28512387
take magnesium, whenever you feel the urge just do drugs
also I honestly think taking magnesium makes a bigger difference than not fapping (which actually spends magnesium. ever had to take a piss after a fap?)
>>28514132
Omega 3 bars make me feel genuinely happy
Fapping is the symptom, not the problem. It also interrupts your daily rhythm, which might prevent you from doing other things. If you're just fapping before bed, there's no harm.
>>28514175
Oatz or granola makes me feel happy too
I did a month and a half to not get distracted at the end of the semester
There aren't any amazing benefits unless you have a serious addiction
I do think I'm gonna cut back to once a week though
>>28512402
>Protip: everyone claiming that not fapping makes them confident and makes you socially great is bullshitting
Isn't it possible that people experience things differently? All three hormones most strongly affected by fapping - testosterone, dopamine, and prolactin are all independently associated with levels of social anxiety. Higher T and Dopamine make people more confident and 'fluid' in their movements, faster responding with better co-ordination, high prolactin (prolactin increases, rather than decreases, after fapping) makes people needy and anxious.
Go look at a social anxiety forum, all three hormones are mentioned as being a factor.
I just don't see why people like you insist that you can know about others' subjective experiences based on your own.
Like I always say when this topic pops up.
I used to fap every night.
Now 3 weeks is my average. 4 is my current record.
One little advice when you feel the urge, or rather you have constant boner (specially when trying to get some sleep), do kegel excercises.
It also helps when your blader is full and there's no loo nearby (pissing against a tree or a dumpster is not an option).
>>28514249
He's just confirming that fapping isn't a direct problem

Dan recc more happy food seriously robots why aren't you looking into ingesting Omega 3 to cure your depression?

Only about 1/5th of the population gets the recommended amount of magnesium and zinc.
Why would you take magnesium??
Never tried nofap and never will.
I have no reason to stop fapping. It feels good.
Don't see any benefits to stopping.
>>28514294
I was going through depression and started taking Omega 3's (it's available for vegans, btw) and my mood seemed to improve dramatically. Haven't been depressed in years.
>>28514327
It's interesting that when you ejaculate you're apparently losing something like 5mg of zinc per ejaculation, so if you do this multiple times in a single day you could end up massively depleting your zinc levels, and considering what you say about deficiency it could be a major issue.
>>28514327
Where to cop Good qual MagZinc on the low???

Several months. Don't feel like it, depression has taken over
tried it one month but didn't do anything, also fell for the /nopoo/ meme and that gave me lots of dandruff and greasy here, currently doing /nopee/ may and it's is working much better than the aforementioned meme's, the agitation is making take more risks and most of the time they pay off
I haven't been able to find a way to finish without making a mess so I just said forget that. I only want to take a shower and put on new clothes once a day.

28 days and counting indefininitely. Quick bump to prevent 404 then will reply to more posts and restart discussion.
>>28511794
I tried just about everything, and found that the only way is to just stop. Of course it helps if you spend more time outside, less time on the computer and are wearing pants and have you window/door open when you are. Some say that being busy helps, but I found in the past it was the opposite. Obligations, responsibility and deadlines cause stress and lead me back to fapping to temporarily relieve it (but ultimately just worsen it).
> I feel like a helpless slave to the urges. It's taken over my life and I want out.
I felt this exactly. There had never been a time in my life when I could handle fapping in moderation, it was either a quick devolution into severe addiction or completely stopping. I must remember to feel gratefully hat I now have control over my life, and cherish the feeling, knowing truly that I would rather be a celibate virgin for life than to ever risk going back to being a slave to my sex drive.
>>28512402
No wet dreams yet. It used to occurr 10 days in, but I really damaged my shit from so much self-abuse constantly wanking that even getting a big erection hurts a little still. Having wet dreams or nocturnal emissions once again will be a sign of healing to look forward to amid the annoyance of changing my bedclothes.
I can put it in a different perspective then: Many of you are actually confident sociable people, but it has always been hampered by the psychosomatic effects of your fapping addiction. Quitting it is the key to unlock your true self, your best self, and the first necessary step you must maintain in order to make any further lasting positive change in your life, but is not a magic answer in itself.

and falls for no fap
>>28513590
porn is often a point of contention here.
I still like to look at it, but mainly in the form of static images on sites like 4chan and tumblr, or free gallery aggregates like fuskator. Because women are sexy and emotionally/intelectually pleasing to look at . Its a good sign of mental health though that I rarely even get a semi when briefly looking at erotica, but outside I can quickly get a boner when I see a real woman showing some skin.
I didn't purposefully try to do nofap, but it's been about two weeks since the last time I jerked it. I found that after the first week it gets easier.
I hate how drained of energy I feel after a fap. Every single time. I can't do any work because my willpower to concentrate is gone.
>>28511690
I didn't even know about nofap, I have gone about 10 days without ejaculating because I have no libido. If I don't fap in a month or so it happens in my sleep since my balls are probably going to pop otherwise. Im 20.
>>28517842
The absence of such feelings are amazing when you don't fap
>>28517869
excess semen gets reabsorbed into the body
ejaculating in your sleep is a healthy and normal thing, and sign of good health
Im four days in and i have a serious porn addiction, after like 3 months i guess id be clean, then should i just fap to imagery in my head? How often should i do it or should i just stop? Real sex isnt an option obviously
>do nofap
>3 weeks in
>more energy, mind less foggy, can be bothered to do work
>feel a wave of desire and self loathing pass over me every time i see a qt
>sacrifice benefits to not feel like shit every time I see a girl
how do you guys stop fantasizing? that's usually my trigger.also, anyone else start contacting girls in hope for a release (I never have done anything with a girl though) and feel guilty talking to them?
I eventually just stop talking to anyone as I know in my mind that's wrong for me to view a girl like that.
