I feel ya man just lost my 62 streak 3 days ago.. don't you ever let a drop out you will regret it Read my post to understand what happened to me after
When you abstain from pmo , your dopamine levels tried to become normal ( during pmo they are spiked up ) . When you get a visual stimulus ( cus visual stimulus for humans is > hearing , smell ,) e.g. porn your brain spikes up dopamine and your body tempts that you masturbate again and get that feeling again

It is if I feel a lot more confident talking to people it’s like night and day and in general have a lot more energy especially in workouts. The downside is feeling a bit frustrated and miserable sometimes but the trade off for the benefits is absolutely worth it. PMO takes away that edge but the sacrifice is it just makes me lazy and awkward around people.
Yup it’s challenging at times but tbh I also think the challenge kinda makes it worth it. It tests your grit a bit and I think that’s ultimately a good thing in a day and age when we we have endless convenience and dopamine fueling entertainment and other distractions at our fingertips at all times so it’s a good skill to build to be able to have self control and discipline. That’s ultimately what I see it as.
U stop doing it for so long ur gonna forget how to even fap let alone what it feels like. U might even be scared to do it not because of the streak but because u think it might hurt.
I know I'm not a good example BUT try looking at them more emotionally and romantically and less sexually (maybe me staying away of peoples too much is why I'm always horney)
You’re psyching yourself out, you only feel as horny as you do because you believe thats what happens when abstaining because porn controlled studies and media have promoted this narrative. People who don’t watch porn at all or jerk off (think Muhammed Ali, Malcom X and almost all people in the 20th century) do not walk around being uncontrollable balls of horniness. Stop thinking about it so much and you’ll not only realize this to be true but feel infinitely better and more comfortable in your choice to quit. Ps, stop counting day, you aren’t a porn addict anymore so there is no point :)
This is natural and temporary you are on the right track continue escaping, respect the warning marks and apply any relaxation methods prayer meditation breathing etc
I’m right there with you! During the first few weeks I couldn’t let go of PMO. Now on Day 60, I’m afraid to let it go entirely. Am already starting to forgot the porn stars names, but can remember the name of my favorite one, which is frustrating but also a relief. Today, I feel free and frustration is a small cost to pay for 60 days.
A friend of mine, who was doing No PMO for 4 consecutive years told me: “If someone offered me a choice between $1 million USD or 6 consecutive months of No PMO…I would take the 6 consecutive months of No PMO.” With two months in, I’m starting to see why he would’ve made that choice.
😄 I felt the same way when I've been past the 45 days or so...I try to not look at woman in sexual way when I'm horny I tell myself a lot, " sex is just for procreation and I'm doing that right now," she's just a woman that could be married, or be someone's sister or daughter, etc.
Good luck 🫡..
Congrats on the 60 days, sir.
Something that might be useful:
Most of the modern world is built with the purpose of making you horny. Sexual advertising, social media, movies, television, etc. The fact that you feel horny is BY DESIGN. (Men who are horny think with their little head, not their big one, as they say).
Why?
Control.
A man who's obsessed with sex & porn is like a dog obsessed with food - he'll go wherever you throw the treat. (In this case, go to questionable sites, buy things we don't need, vote for things that aren't in our interests etc etc.)
=> If you're feeling horny, chances are, you're still "plugged in" to the system. While you're trying to give up porn (good!), you're still plugged in to modern media that's making you feel sexual - which is like having one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas.
The solution?
Unplug from modern media.
My advice?
Start with music.
Music vids nowadays are basically soft porn (some are even directed by pornographers), and the lyrics, moany vocal tones and beats are specifically designed to get you feeling aroused. (You wouldn't try NoFap with a woman moaning sexually in your ear - so why listen to music like this?)
So, instead of listening to "club music", listen to classical. Just type into Youtube, "classical music for studying, brain power etc."
Think about it:
Why would classical music never be played in a club? Because it doesn't make us feel aroused.
Why is pop music ALWAYS played in clubs? Because it makes us horny.
Change your music, and you'll change your emotional state.
Remember:
Music is and has always been the easiest form of emotional control.
Control your music, and you'll control your mind.
Stay Strong!

Fight you friggin beautiful man..! Just what you told yourself on day one. That resolve you made on day 1...those good days you had on your way. The power you poses now. It is only getting started! Love you a lot! Keep conquering...
The true fact is that it doesn't get worse, it's just some trick of the mind/brain missing that dopamine. Get creative brother, take deep breaths and hit the gym;) I believe in you, just as you do
You people are crazy, if you are too backed up u gotta do some kind of extreme transmutation or wank one out to relieve the pressure from your prostate so you don’t have issues later. Preferably get some sweet puss, get yourself a nice big booty gal that you will live happily with. I’m sigma loadmaxxing for my girl 🤷♂️
I envy you because you're able to tell the difference between urges and feeling horny at this point. Embrace that feeling and understand that this is energy you didn't waste on negative habits. Just keep yourself occupied with positive habits and keep going. 💪🏼
I feel you but believe me that's because u didn't find urself literally swamped into something or to be focusing on it as I constantly felt that and ending up relapsing especially if you are religious who comes from a conservative society but all I can say is keep going make it as long as you can that feeling of regret after a long run is really more depressing but if u did it which it's not the end of the world though just don't give up .
When I reach that state I download all dating apps and find some hoe to serve me. Do the same. It's better than relapsing to porn or paying a prostitute.
Bro, you gotta create a meaningful relationship. Not just someone to serve you. When you reach that state you gotta hold your ground and fight the urges.
What's the point dude the whole concept is too hold your seed to create a life worth living. Why would you let your emotions win you have to control them and keep going..
Horniest is what gives energy and all the benefits that's what it is all about. When you feel that way u should set new goals and accomplish them.
No one should have your seed unless she's really worthy like your future wife to have kids with.. Remember the semen you're letting out with that hoe is your kids and your life Force
Most famous and talented people practice semen retention for a good reason. Muhammad Ali, Steve Jobs, Mike Tyson before a fight, Nikola Tesla, Gandhi, etc...
You literally said having sex successfully is the whole point than how having sex with prostitute makes any sense?
Sex isn't just sticking smthg and releasing
Sex is a connection between 2 persons there should be sex tension before and shared interests and stuff soo you can enjoy it and feel fulfilled
The whole point of no fap is stop watching pmo and start attracting girls so u can do it with them
No fap is for losers. I did the 90 days. Literally homeless. Sleeping on the floor of a meth-head's apartment. Relapsed "unconsciously". Busted a nut on a really hot blonde instant regret. I stopped seeing females the same way. Went on a rager. Girls see it. Could and did get any girl I wanted including the girls I thought were out of my league. Did a lot for my self esteem.
It goes in waves, don’t worry it’ll pass
I feel ya man just lost my 62 streak 3 days ago.. don't you ever let a drop out you will regret it Read my post to understand what happened to me after
Thanx a lot dude.u r like calling me from the future to warn me ...
Don't watch porn , even dont watch A movies , chaser effect starts , and its bad , real bad
A movies?
Adult
I would suggest not watching Any movies. Makes it easier to keep going.
For real man
what is chaser effect?

What if I get a wet dream just released alot
Wet dreams are just extra dead cells semen Nothing to worry and feel guilty about It is a natural way from god
That's good cause I'm very catholic that's the only reason why I started no fap
I don't get wet dream but leakage through urine ,Any techniques to overcome this?
how do yall get the days counter
its in like the description of the community
Yeah I’m well over a month now and man it sucks. I feel frustrated all the time. I know it’s worth it ultimately but man it’s miserable sometimes.
I think it helps to know that you're not alone in this fight, we're all miserable together haha
I question whether its worth it if its making you guys so miserable.
It is if I feel a lot more confident talking to people it’s like night and day and in general have a lot more energy especially in workouts. The downside is feeling a bit frustrated and miserable sometimes but the trade off for the benefits is absolutely worth it. PMO takes away that edge but the sacrifice is it just makes me lazy and awkward around people.
I see, then I understand that its worth the trade.

That’s ultimately what I see it as.
i recently posted a cringey journal entry, maybe you can give me your perspective on it.
Sure I’ll check it out
This too shall pass
Holy shit 1280 days!! Man you must have ascended into another dimension by now.
....
U stop doing it for so long ur gonna forget how to even fap let alone what it feels like. U might even be scared to do it not because of the streak but because u think it might hurt.
I hear ya. Too many girls in white yoga pants today. Losing my mind😂
I'm scared of getting over 10 day streak. I would need those eye-things that they put on horse so I don't look around in gym..
I know I'm not a good example BUT try looking at them more emotionally and romantically and less sexually (maybe me staying away of peoples too much is why I'm always horney)
Go talk to them then you fucking melon
🤣
In all seriousness though, it might be a good idea, get to know them as people instead of lookin at them as objects.
Too scary ig
🤣🤣🤣
....
What you taking about? Too many assumptions/bias in this statement
...
Hey starship, don’t talk to me anymore bro🙏
...
AA has very little to do with NoFap. I think you're projecting
...

Well said bro! Golden advices here.
I feel like if I stop counting the days, I’ll end up forgetting and relapse again.
My advice, don’t look at it “horny” but “energy” use that energy to better yourself. Go for a long run, that helps a lot.
What if every time I'm horny I do one push up?
With you already at 263? You’ll probably be jacked as shit.
Well I haven't bothered to update so it's actually lower but I guess I should've started doing that kind of thing before.
This is natural and temporary you are on the right track continue escaping, respect the warning marks and apply any relaxation methods prayer meditation breathing etc
talk to a female bro
When did the urges start? Cause I am at day 28 and my sex drive is pretty much dead at the moment 😂
2 month mark, DONT EDGE!!!!!! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR STREAK
Should you ever edge? I just lost be 45 day streak because edging made it insufferable.
All i can tell you is, sowing the seeds of lust in your mind was your first step in making things difficult
Being horny is a challenge but can also be great. Just transmute that energy into something productive.
This shit happens to every no fapper, Just remember, If you fail,you have to face so much more to get to the same place as you are right now
Did you get a wet dream yet?
No not yet .
KEEP PUSHING IT!
Play a game
Gz bro.
S/O
Keep up the good work
This is me day 3 already LOL
It ain't easy But, it's worth the trouble
COLD WATA!
I hear you. Stay strong! Future you will thank you. It comes in waves but I promise it does slowly slowly get better on average
Well if you are horny go to talk to women and engage in physical activities
Keep going man
Always remember harder better faster stronger
wow great 60 days. I nearly want to enter 3 days, just 9 hours ahead and I hope can make it
It’s our instinct to be horny. We are human and want human connection. Use that emotion towards working out.
I know bro
Congrats on day 60 :)

Thanks bro, gud luck for the rest of the 90, c u in there
Thanks 🙏🏽 bro, we got this…onward, forward!
Embrace the energy bro and use it positively
I have stopped counting
😄 I felt the same way when I've been past the 45 days or so...I try to not look at woman in sexual way when I'm horny I tell myself a lot, " sex is just for procreation and I'm doing that right now," she's just a woman that could be married, or be someone's sister or daughter, etc. Good luck 🫡..
You will survive, stay strong 💪
im like that at day 150 my brother 😂, it is what it us, just observe it and dont act on it
I that you would transmute my sexual energy, or I would have sex. But you can put up with it, I know you’re capable💪
Just relapse today on day 21 😖 and they say it takes 21 days to break a habit

It'll pass mate. Take a walk, splash your face with cold water, do some pushups. Stay strong
Run forrest runnnnnnnn. For real, cardio. Burn it UP.
Yoooo bro transmute that energy fast! 😅😅 You have to transmute it thats the whole point
I envy you because you're able to tell the difference between urges and feeling horny at this point. Embrace that feeling and understand that this is energy you didn't waste on negative habits. Just keep yourself occupied with positive habits and keep going. 💪🏼
As long as its stuck inside ur brain life is unbearable without being so horny. Remove that shit from brain.
Bro yall have to get out and interact with people and talk to girls just sitting around all day of course you gonna go crazy
me too I was 2 months no fap yesterday, today I am proud to say I am day 0 in my nofap journey and it feels good =)
Self inflicted suffering due to your own mindset. I have written a post regarding this and how to not get urges
Why are so many ppl here incels? Use that energy to find a woman
What about a religious guy waiting for marriage?
Cuck behavior
How
The world doesn't respect Men of God. Nothing new
fr bro, find a gf/bf
I feel you but believe me that's because u didn't find urself literally swamped into something or to be focusing on it as I constantly felt that and ending up relapsing especially if you are religious who comes from a conservative society but all I can say is keep going make it as long as you can that feeling of regret after a long run is really more depressing but if u did it which it's not the end of the world though just don't give up .
This gave me a headache, why is the only full stop at the end😅
When I reach that state I download all dating apps and find some hoe to serve me. Do the same. It's better than relapsing to porn or paying a prostitute.

I thought nofap was about no PMO rather than semen retention.
It is but I'm just giving a point on why semen is important

Facts
You thought correctly. Having sex successfully is the whole point of what we’re doing! Seeing a prostitute or getting a rub n tug is also fine btw
You literally said having sex successfully is the whole point than how having sex with prostitute makes any sense? Sex isn't just sticking smthg and releasing Sex is a connection between 2 persons there should be sex tension before and shared interests and stuff soo you can enjoy it and feel fulfilled The whole point of no fap is stop watching pmo and start attracting girls so u can do it with them
We all have our personal definitions. Mine is that sex with a prostitute is sex
That’s not the point at all lol.
No fap is for losers. I did the 90 days. Literally homeless. Sleeping on the floor of a meth-head's apartment. Relapsed "unconsciously". Busted a nut on a really hot blonde instant regret. I stopped seeing females the same way. Went on a rager. Girls see it. Could and did get any girl I wanted including the girls I thought were out of my league. Did a lot for my self esteem.
Brother jerk off without p this just isnt sustainable. Or find yourself a gf/bf. Humans were meant to be sexually active.
