January '15 No-Fap Challenge vol: the entire year is too much

Only time I fap is before I'm going to smash. Other than that, I have zero desire to fap. Pr0n bores me.

Yo it's gotten like that for me too.

I don't fap anymore and when I'm about to get it on I just stroke it, don't even try to bust.
 
ok so I'm in day #8.

I think I did it so much I drained myself or something. I had no desire to go anymore just because I was drained. Anyway since that day I've been feeling restored & my workouts have picked up like crazy. Idk if I flatlined by default or something but I'm feeling the results I felt at the beginning of last year when I lasted 38 days...but 8 days in.

Not that I'm complaining though.
I don't think it's a complete flatline because I do get some urges still so I didn't RESET myself, but I definitely feel like I'm in the game with a "cheat code" if that makes sense.
 
Thought I was getting the Yamb last night,


Had the nudes sent to me and I was ready! on my way to go...


Icy roads, change of plans, and well
The gif speaks for itself
20days

Haven't fapped since November.

Recipe for no fap:

Get off your phone/computer unless your being productive.

Pick up a zen buddhism beginners book.

Start a daily practice of meditation.

Find someone trust worthy with DMT.

Go somewhere where you can't be bothered.

Meditate.

Smoke the DMT.

If you can't find DMT, find someone with psilocybin mushrooms.

Meditate.

Go somewhere in nature where you won't be bothered and proceed to eat about 4 or 5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms.

Thank me later.

[h1]7 Unorthodox Tips to Quit Masturbating[/h1]
south-park-randy-masturbation.jpg



At this point many of us are familiar with the harmful effects of excessive masturbation, especially to porn. It’s even worse if you’re addicted. Here are some things you can do to beat the addiction:
[h3]1. Get off the computer at night[/h3]

“No mom, I swear I’m just reading ROK”

Avoiding the computer at night will reduce the likelihood that you start watching porn and jerk off. Set a certain time when you will get off the computer, say, 9pm, then close your laptop and don’t open it again until the next morning. Better yet, leave your laptop in a different room altogether. There’s no way you’re going to sit in front of the computer fapping if it’s in the living room.
[h3]2. Replace masturbation with another habit[/h3]
The best way to break a bad habit is not to simply try to stop, but rather to replace it with another habit. If you’re like most guys, you probably masturbate before going to bed. So replace the habit of masturbation with something else like:
  • Reading a book
  • Meditating (the best option in my opinion, see below)
  • Working on a side business
  • Writing in a journal
[h3]3. Start meditating[/h3]

Is this helping??

Meditation trains your mind to let go of thoughts you don’t want to have. If you are meditating consistently, then when the temptation to masturbate arises in your head you can just let it pass by. You don’t have to “entertain” the thought, and if you don’t think about something then you won’t do it.

What’s more, when you consistently refuse to think about something, those thoughts will arise less and less frequently. So as you keep letting go of the thought of masturbating pass by in your mind, over time the prevalence of this thought will decrease and eventually it will disappear altogether.

(Find out more about how I quit masturbating using meditation)
[h3]4. Try to get really lean (start cutting hard)[/h3]
When you start trying to get lean (“cutting” in fitness terms) by lowering your caloric intake, your libido will drop as well. If you also consume less fat, the effect is even more pronounced. When your body is in a caloric deficit, it is more concerned with maintaining functions essential to survival rather than getting horny.

One time when I was cutting, there was a girl I had banged a few weeks before who wanted to hook up again. However, I didn’t feel horny at all and ignored her texts, and actually never ended up contacting her. I simply had no desire to have sex.

Obviously this is not recommended in the long term, and for health reasons you should never stop eating fats completely. But if you reduce the amount you are eating you will see a significant drop in libido. Combine this with a caloric deficit and you will feel much less horny; the temptation to masturbate will all but disappear.
[h3]5. If you “relapse” then be extremely hard on yourself[/h3]

What was he using the cat for?

If you relapse early on  while trying to quit masturbating, then beat yourself up really badly about it. While this might seem counterintuitive, what most people do is beat themselves up a little bit, just enough to feel bad but not enough to make them actually do anything differently in the future.

In this case you want to beat yourself up so badly that you feel really terrible, so much so that you associate feeling absolutely awful with the act of masturbation. Get angry, furious, and disgusted with yourself to the greatest extent possible. This will deter you from relapsing again in the future, because you’ll remember how bad you felt and won’t want to feel that way again.
[h3]6. If you “relapse” then don’t feel bad at all (forget and move on)[/h3]
While this is the exact opposite of the above, the difference is context. If you’re on a good run of not jerking off (many weeks or a few months) and you relapse, then just ignore it and pretend like it never happened. By this point (several weeks or months in the clear) you are “coming out” of the addiction and there’s no reason to get upset over one slip up.

Don’t dwell on it, don’t think about it, and literally try to forget it inside your head. Act as if it never happened. Then continue where you left off and you will be closer than ever to breaking the habit for good.
[h3]7. Whatever you do—don’t touch your **** (under any circumstances)[/h3]


If all else fails, all you have to do is make this your number one rule that you cannot break. No matter what happens, in any situation, do. not. touch. your. ****. You could be lying in bed with a raging boner, horny as hell, but basic cause and effect dictates that if you do not touch your **** then you will not masturbate.

Yes it can be hard, but no matter how badly you’re addicted you DO have enough self-control to simply keep your hands off your penis. “Quitting an addiction” seems difficult and complicated, but “don’t touch your **** under any circumstances” is simple and easy.

Even if you can’t control your thoughts (again, meditation) you ARE able to simply not touch your ****. Make this the one rule that you cannot break, and you will be well on your way to never masturbating again.

I met this Psychologist a couple weekends ago at a conference and he sent me a DM of an article he just wrote. It pertains to you "NoFappers".



The NoFap Phenomenon
There's nothing new about this fight against self-love

I get asked about the NoFap movement often, as you might imagine. NoFap (that name is now trademarked (link is external), in an interesting twist) is an online group of men who promote abstinence from masturbation to porn. Reportedly, the group initially started as a joke, and a "challenge" to not masturbate. They are a vocal, committed, and zealous group, whose strident cries and hyperbolic language get quite a bit of media attention. I’m not in opposition to them, but I do think their ideas are simplistic, naïve and promote a sad, reductionistic and distorted view of male sexuality and masculinity.


There’s nothing new about most of what they are saying. In the 18th century, a Swiss physician named Tissot promoted the idea that masturbation was a medical illness, which weakened the male spirit and created immorality and ill health. American physicians carried this idea for a long time, including Benjamin Rush, who believed that masturbation created blindness, and Kellog, who invented corn flakes as part of an anti-masturbation campaign. The anecdotal problems these physicians were seeing were the untreated effects of STD’s such as syphilis and gonorrhea. The past hundred years of advance in sexual medicine tells us that masturbation is very, very healthy—people who masturbate more, on average, have healthier relationships, live longer, know more about their own bodies and have better sex lives.


The NoFap folks regurgitate a lot of old myths about how refraining from masturbation helps them to be more energetic, more sexual, more virile, and more manly. That’s a little sad. They’ve now paired it with the new modern worship of brain science, making lots of extrapolations on weak science, to argue that porn has a disproportionate effect on the brain. They are also now linked with moral groups who oppose porn, on feminist and religious grounds, and use the same brain-based language to mask that these are actually moral arguments, not medical ones. An interesting note is that no one in the NoFap movement is actually a scientist who does research on neurophysiology and function. Instead, they are enthusiastic amateurs, who've learned enough about brain science to be dangerous, as they see what they expect to see, and interpret brain science to support their assumptions.


Sexual stimulation does work on the reward systems of the brain, but the NoFap arguments are based on very simplistic and reductionistic ideas of how the brain works, how sex works, and what porn is (such as videos vs images, written erotica vs film, hardcore vs softcore, etc). There’s so much we don’t know about these things and so many subjective definitions, that all of these folks are arguing far, far ahead of the data. Because they enter the argument with moral assumptions about sex, porn and masculinity, they are subject to expectancy effect, and they see what they want to see, in research which is, at best, ambiguous.


That’s the dangerous part. Bad data, lack of knowledge and the intrusion of moral values is what led to people like Kellog arguing for surgeries such as ****orectomies, and use of physical restraints, to prevent masturbation. These same types of morally-driven arguments led to homosexuality being a disease, and sexual women called nymphomaniacs.


The latest argument by the NoFap folks is that porn is causing erectile dysfunction. This is a complex issue, because it’s only in the past few decades that we’ve learned much about erectile dysfunction, or begun to realize that it’s quite common, even among young men. In young men, the causes are typically from the effects of medications, anxiety, cigarettes, drugs, obesity and lack of sexual experience. Today, young men find it easy to masturbate to porn. But then, when with a female partner, they may get nervous due to lack of experience, and the high degree of performance pressure on men, and have difficulty getting an erection. Sadly, the NoFap movement promotes the self-fulfilling prophecy that it is porn that creates this effect, and so these men understandably blame porn, rather than themselves. That’s an unfortunate misdirection, leading to externalizing this issue, pointing the blame for E.D. at the common social whipping post of porn.


Scientific evidence looking at this question continues to build in the opposite direction, indicating that the effects of high levels of porn use are most likely to be tied to increased libido, not to porn use. Porn use is most often an effect of libido. High levels of porn use and masturbation lead most often to delayed ejaculation, not erectile difficulty. There’s currently no evidence that suggests we should be blaming ED on porn—we already have plenty of other things to use to explain it.



Unfortunately, the NoFap community seems filled with people who believe that the strength of their beliefs are equivalent to scientific evidence, and they fail to acknowledge the subjective weakness of their reliance on anecdotes. Some of their leading voices appear to be people who have replaced a past obsession for porn, with an obsession for fighting against the dangers of porn. I think porn is rarely the issue, and that they, like all of us, need to spend more time looking at themselves. Porn is never, ever a cause of problems, and when there are problems, porn is a symptom. Diagnosing porn addiction is like telling a person with a cold that they have a sneezing disorder.


The press is part of the problem, by treating these issues as though the anecdotes and moral conviction are just as important as scientific evidence—that’s why we have the anti-vaccine crisis. Same dynamic here, thankfully with less critical results.



The NoFap strategies might have some positive benefits for people, but only incidentally. The brain doesn’t need to “reboot” the way they argue, though taking a period of time away from any repetitive behavior may help a person to become more mindful, more aware, of the impact of these behaviors. These guys reporting that they are able to "get laid" when they stop using porn has little to do with the porn, and everything to do with the fact that they are making conscious choices about their lives, their sexuality, their relationships and their needs. I encourage that, for all people. As a man, and a therapist, I just wish it didn’t come along so loaded with these messages that men are inherently weak, their brains subject to being warped by porn, and that the quality of a man’s sexuality is measured by the strength of his erection.

It's funny because the "NoFap Movement" was started on Reddit, a bunch of kids who sit behind a computer screen all day and get no booty. Kind reminds me of the people who post internet memes on Facebook.
 
I really don't think NoFap is the issue. I always thought No Pr0n was the big problem. Giving false expectations of reality making you unimpressed and desensitized to the real thing. Its the stimulation that is the bad side. But Fap every day to nothing....and you are fine. Its all the pr0n thats the issue
