Just completed 26 days with no fapping whatsoever. Feel good man. Rehashing in a nutshell what I been through, I would fap like crazy for 12 years, even before I saw porn, and it was always a preoccupation and obsession that took over my life, and doesn't even feel good afterward, like a total waste of life energy and depletion of subtle body energies. I also have had pain in the muscles used for ejaculation, and a dull ticklish feeling in bladder/penis that must be somehow related.
For this and other reasons, I resolve to permanently quit fapping and never have sex. This doesn't change the fact that for 2 of the 5 senses, the most pleasurable things on earth to see or touch are women's bodies. I still look at sexy pictures, since my tastes are super vanilla and its no different to me from going to an art gallery or seeing hot chicks on the beach. The big difference this time around aside from the slightly annoying unknown nerve disturbance is that I am not trying to date/fuck women, I am doing this for me, to rejuvenate my body, and hopefully recover over many months until I feel like I was at age 13 when I never knew of conscious orgasm, and any semen that needs to be released happens in my sleep. As I often say, the first wet dream or nocturnal emission is a sign of healing. In years past it would happen after 10 days or so, but it still has not yet, no surprise since I abused the fuck out of my dick and it takes time to heal. No actual pain or dysfunction though, I pee normally and since a week ago the morning wood has returned, and I often get a semi if I accidentally touch my glans or a girl hugs me.
Overall, this is part of a massive lifestyle change that involves reducing time spent on internet, increasing socializing and spending even more of my waking hours outside. Quitting fapping is only the first and absolutely necessary step to more grander positive lifestyle improvements. Whatever I will come to achieve, it will have to be done outside in the active realm, as I progress further away from internet addiction too. As it is, I often stand up at the computer so I can more easily peel myself away than if sitting.
So I guess ITT I could offer advice/support for fapping addictions, and take advice regarding my injuries. As per last thread I made, I have been doing a lot of myofascial release both on my perenium muscles (between balls and anus) and abdomen, and straddling my space heater to help relax the muscles. Not sure if it will solve whatever it is thats going on, but it will only help and feels good man.

Who the fuck are you?

Wait, so only after about three weeks did you start having morning wood?
Are there any methods or tricks you use to avoid fapping? Aren't you afraid that you'll get triggered by porn on here (4chan)?
>>28460824
yeah.
The only trick is to just not fap. I tried everything before and the only way to stop is to just stop

Perhaps I can add to the discussion:
>was somewhat of a chronic masturbator
>averaged three faps a day
>like, had bruises on my dick, at a certain point had to check to see if I had came already or not
shit sucked
>be ~16
>reached a bit of a low point in life generally, pretty depressed
>say fuck it, quit masturbating entirely
>keep it up for a year before I decide that I can handle it again
any time I realize I'm approaching the 3/day mark, I just stop for a month or so, let's the system reset and recover. I also don't have sex at all, but that's not by choice :'^(
if you fap A LOT, after about a week there will be some discomfort, and some semen may leek out, for me it happened in semi-solid globules, but after a while the sensitivity goes away. If I was depressed and I stop fapping, I certainly feel better psychologically, but I didn't really notice the effect of increases test, but that will vary from person to person.

like 26day anon said, you just kind of have to stop. It can help if you learn to have a little more control over your erection, as being able to de-boner yourself does also help turn yourself off. As far as porn, I still saved porn on here I liked, but I didn't browse my collection or actively pursue porn threads. You should be fine if it's just one picture.
>buying into the quack nofap bullshit when there is research that regular ejaculations are healthy and help prevent certain health issues
>being a pawn of the religious nutjobs that are behind this pseudoscience
If self-denial is your thing just convert to Islam and fuck off with your bullshit. You're just another kind of douchbag that won't shut up about being vegan/crossfire/yoga/etc
I think there needs to be a balance. You don't want to over fap as that can reduce your ability to get hard. I know someone will say "but I fap 3 times daily and I'm hard." Well the thing is it depends on the individual. Some can do more and some less. But they key is to have the balance where you aren't sexually frustrated all the time but also have the ability to get hard in the morning. Take this with a grain of salt. Either fap or don't. But of course a reasonable response will only cause a shitstorm of people calling each other fags.

>crossfire
wut?
Fapping addiction is common in /r9k/. Even if normal masturbation is healthy, fapping all day every day is obviously not.>>28461529
In my case I have to choose not at all, since I have never in my life fapped with moderation, it always leads to severe addiction, live several times a day and hours of dick teasing without cumming.
