NoFap - Why you should quit porn & masturbation !

1,339 posts in this topic

I relapsed. 174 days. Man, the urges are creeping up on me. It first started off as a fantasy, then I started touching my dick more and more, I started experimenting, and then I lost control, and surrendered to the unconscious sexual energy. Relapsed, and learn a lesson. Although I relapsed a couple of days later, and then again, one week after that. What is happening? Why did I get a fantasy at day 160? Its like I gave in because of curiosity, and when I feel down, I turn to my dick... and its hard not to do that nowadays.

I need to regain control, resist cravings. If I don't, I will start browsing for porn, and that will destroy me. Yet, I have just stroked for pleasure, but man, It feels hard when you feel like you are regressing.

Gimmie some motivation

Treat it like it's an alcohol addiction. It helped me quiete a lot so far. At first i thought people were exaggerating when they told me this, but they were right. These addictive pathways are deeply ingrained, and once you give in, they are activated again like they were never gone at all. It's literally the same as alcohol and nicotine, there is no such thing as one sip or one drag.

You are in 174, and I'm in 40 days, man! It is so hard... even you are in174 I realized that even in that level ego will trick you in a very sneaky way to pull you from growth.. for me, in 40 days the ego backlash is 4times backward.. fuck!! 40 days have been just one step and it backslide again into 4 times backward.. I don't know anymore... I've planned to take psychedelics in after 40days of vacation and 40 days of no fap but I'm in this state... I need to get back to the momentum that I did.. MAN THIS JOURNEY IS HARD :(. It feels sad for me.. I'm doing my best.. but still I have no control ..

I'm doing my best.. but still I have no control , i know I should be proactive in this, but I can't, even if I have plans to make just to stay on my path of nofap and continue the journey of consciousness and enlightenment and see the metaphysical aspects of reality ego, lust continues to backfire on me to you and to us.. I want to study, but all I'm doing is low consciousness stuff, I'm procrastinating my meditation and my yoga because of porn my sleeping time is only 1hr because of that I hope that I can meditate and yoga today..

Don't count and there wont be any issues if you fail or not. You'll forget about it sooner or later. When other focuses of greater power arise lower frequency acts will fade away into meainglessness.

@John Iverson Hey, don't beat yourself up.

From day 30 to day 160, nothing really happened to me. I could push through. The first 30 days are the hardest, and if you completely don't do anything sexually related, it will become much easier after a month.

I guess my mistake was giving in to the craving, which made a little snowball effect. I lost touch with the values and goals I set for myself at day 0.

I think if I would resist that craving at day 160 and forth, I would not have relapsed. The cravings will come, but they will fade. Benefits will come, be sure of that!

Btw, relapsing once at day 160, won't turn you into that version that you were on day 0. Never. All matters what you do every day, not once every year. If you binge on hamburgers one time, even though you always eat healthily, then it will have no physical significance at all (in the long/medium run).

And of course, if you even got to day 160, you won't really want to self-destruct, and regress to your old you, like binging porn and all. I consider this relapse as a reason to keep on and try again, much much stronger this time.

Although resisting cravings is hard!

Btw: Hate to break it to ya... You gotta eliminate the porn first! Porn is what gives you almost all the symptoms. Try to fap without porn for a while. Try to do it as a ritual, like spiritual masturbation. But you have to eliminate porn first or else it's very hard to quit cold turkey. Go for a no-porn journey, you will have good benefits there as well. So that, when you relapse, at least you are not watching porn, because that is dangerous, its like heroin.

I had a wet dream ?. I think my guard was a little down. I think it's possible to prevent them, but you have to set your intentions very clear so in your dreams you don't fall for the traps. Anyways I will still count the days.

Day 26.

Mahatma Gandhi in India became celibate — he was nearabout forty — because he wanted to live up to the age of a hundred and twenty-five to fight the freedom struggle and to bring it to a conclusion. That was the reason to go into celibacy — to prolong life.

There is a possibility that if by some scientific means a man’s sexual energy is absorbed in his own body, the body will go on renewing, rejuvenating itself for a long time. But ordinarily these so-called celibates are not celibate. The energy is released in some way or other. Even at the age of seventy, Mahatma Gandhi was having nocturnal emissions. 

Mahatma Gandhi has said — and he was one of the most honest men — that even at the age of seventy he was having wet dreams. He has said, “I have come away from sex as far as my conscious mind is concerned but the moment I fall asleep I cannot do anything. In dreams, sexual imagery comes in and the semen moves out.” He was honest.

Boys. Saw an image on the internet. It was deliberately searched for.

I experimented, I forgot how it even looked like, so I searched for porn trough google SafeSearch. After a while, I saw an image. I was aware through the whole process, and I felt the chemicals surge my brain, overflowing! Now I see why people can sit for 8 hours straight. I just felt the addiction just building on itself, how my patterns of browsing so quickly adapted to find an erotic picture, because that gave me a "high". At one point I pinched myself, and could not feel significant pain (apart from what I normally would feel), and I could not look away from the screen. I got an urge to fap to the porn (which was nostalgic). I sat there for 15 minutes before snapping out of it. I yet don't feel the side effects, because of im sleepy (I was sleepy before browsing), so the morning will tell.

I feel like Im relapsing into oblivion, boys. I will officially make a 30-day challenge right here and now.

I will not be deliberately searching for porn on the internet. I will not touch my genitalia unless im washing it. I will let go of any fantasies, and never dream into them. I surrender to all cravings. All of this for 30 days starting from now, 2018-04-29, and ending 2018-05-29 (one month).

If Leo has a strong enough vision to sit and meditate for 30 days straight, then so shall I not relapse for 30 days as well. Because im tormented by this addiction, and my vision is to have freedom from this negative spiral, and my vision is to be a grown-up fucking man, resisting the cries of the ego, and using the absence of porn and fapping to fuel something greater. I want to go out and find my hot witch girlfriend.

My vision is that I can build my life around the fact that im not gonna fap for the next 30 days, and that I will rewire my brain a bit to get acclimated to the environment im setting for myself. I essentially trying to fill my "hole" with something else. Sexual energy can be used for so many other stuff. If im gonna relapse, it's not gonna be in my fucking hand, its gonna be in the 10/10 vagina. 

Im gonna keep track of the days and actions in my notebook. I will write an update halfway in,  and also if I relapse or if I succeed. Wish me luck.

Have you guys ever heard of tantra yoga? The principle is to stimulate your jing energy, located in your semen/sexual centers, and so that it can rise and create refined chi and Shen energy (leading to enlightenment). The yellow emperor for example, was said to have so much sex with woman, and cultivated so much Shen energy around his head, that it glowed a golden color. I don't want to encourage any addiction but I feel this perspective is necessary so that we don't demonize masturbation. The key is not to masturbate, but to retain your semen when you have an orgasm through this method:

I totally agree with people to spend at least a month without masturbating, as a way of respecting yourself on a deeper level, to say, "I love myself too much to misuse what is the most precious energy in my body". Also remember, every time you release your semen that is your lifeforce energy, that means you are taking away years of your life that you could have lived, as we need jing energy to be alive and well. But if you ever have an uncontrollable urge to masturbate (and can't feel into your heart), or you want to practice tantra yoga, always always always do this technique, cause you may as well use it to get closer to enlightenment. Honor your precious energy everyone.

Do you want to tell your Grandchildren that you fap in private? What if you get to that age and still are addicted? Better sooner rather than later my friendsxD
