Hey man. I was just there like 30 min ago. Literally had to speak out loud to myself mid wank. Then took out my drawing book and dropped it dead. Idk what you need but telling out loud to myself sorta snapped me out of it. You've got this. You are stronger than your urges!
Yo, man, thanks for support.
That's absolutely right. That time between the urge and the response is the key. I remember reading a quote about this, I don't know who said it. Waiting can indeed do wonders. So can avoiding the mistakes. Take me, I've relapsed several times starting with "Just some MO without porn, to lower the urges" which too me has the domino effect where it slowly but surely leads to porn. I've been having hard urges to do this MO without porn thing in the last couple of days but I told myself: "No, this is on the mistakes list!"
Thanks for support and advice.
Preach preacher! " Changing the channel from the old you to the new you". I love this & I'm gonna share it around to my friends!
But, it's the same every time. It doesn't get easier. This period always comes and only after going through it, I can escape. This goes for that nice thought that the mind likes to have: "This is tough! Relapse now but don't worry because next time it will be easier."
Between urges and that mini flatline thing, I guess I have to choose urges. I'm talking about now, because I'm not done with porn and without being done with porn I'm in one of those 2 phases.
Yes, definitely. Our sexual energy is the most important energy we have. It's the energy used by people to achieve many things. This nofap thing is a powerful tool and I'm talking about it in this way because nowadays we don't do this naturally anymore. Long time ago, to do nofap was a natural course of life, people didn't jerk off to porn all day long. Porn is the ultimate sexual energy killer. Once this energy is gone, you won't have the same drive to achieve big things. Many of us porn addicts have achieved too little or almost nothing. Many of us have not achieved our burning desire. Many of us lie on the couch fantasizing about a version of us that we never reach. That's why it's crucial to quit porn, it's actually a great idea not to ejaculate at all outside of sex, because with each ejaculation you eliminate energy and nutrients. After 5 orgasms to porn a day, I feel completely drained. Do this every day and then see what energy you have left to do anything in your life. I was watching a podcast with an Indian who has many Yoga gyms. One of the things his Guru told him to avoid was ejaculation. Because this thing is very powerful. I understand sex and reproduction but masturbation and porn are an unnecessary draining of energy, in my opinion, they are a selfish sick of pleasure. When you are not the slave of pleasure anymore, you are powerful. Thanks to PMO binges I've been mediocre for too long and I'm fighting to get the necessary mindset to finally escape. Elon Musk said we spend too much energy on sex outside of reproduction. Maybe he could be seen as extreme, as in "sex for making kids only" type of thing but I understand what he means. This is the guy who used to sleep in the office and work for 18 hours a day or something like this, do you see him doing this while jerking off every day? Or having sex as his no. 1 priority, chasing chicks all day? No fuckin way. Everybody should do whatever they want but what I just said is my philosophy and what's in between me and the life I want is porn. Nofap as a way to unleash the true potential.
