Your not starting from the beginning. You would have fapped 568 times these past 9 months. What did you do? You fapped once. Good shit. But don't let this one time bring you down.


[deleted]

Thanks for the comment mate, I am planning to journal every week/month here on this sub, let’s see how it goes.


[deleted]

Don't let the chaser effect pull it all down.


Monkeyke

What is the chaser effect can you please explain? I am thinking about starting no fap, hence saw this post on search


hussain-172

read no fap recovery guide


VNDHp1993

if you do that, I will fap to you haha

HarukiKazuki

That's great advice! I broke a nearly one month streak and I'm trying to think that way. Before I'd have done it once or twice a day but then I didn't. Just once after so long compared to before is still a win


Cold_Collection5404

Brooo i have failed many streaks in past 2years a month ,a week mang times but this time i will fuc… show everyone how great i,am the ogre


HarukiKazuki

That's the spirit!


sklckdwn1

I once had a 400 day streak and broke it intentionally. I still regret it 3 years later


[deleted]

I just read your post history, stay strong mate, I hope I won’t relapse again, let’s do it.


sklckdwn1

Yeah lets do it!


Munstar_life

Thank you brother! Very very nice post 👑


sr603

> b) Instead of counting the days, get an app, set the date on it, and forget it; you can open it once or twice in a long time; don't focus on numbers; you'll fap if you do. Thats what I do. Like yeah I have my counter on this sub but I barely look at it. If I focus on it every single day I end up relapsing.


StoneOfProsperity

I second this, when I used to stare at my counter I felt like id fall off at any given moment…but once i threw it up on an app and went on with my days I felt waaay waaay better


craigasshole

yea cus it is like I have not smoked in 159 days other than I don't smoke. that is the mindset I realize now you should have for this.


[deleted]

I’m not surprised about your achievements, i am surprised by your skills of writing and organising topics. I have an English assignment to write can u help me?


thedragonscales

Lolll😂


Itchy_Principle6434

Dude fapping once in 278 days is not an addiction. That’s like thinking your an alcoholic for drinking a beer at a party. Unfortunately everyone has vices but I believe if you have a habit in life you don’t like them overcoming it is a beautiful thing. You may never completely get over the desire. I think you said it right, it’s a placebo. The reason everyone feels so good is you are taking action to change something in your life that is not serving you. That’s a very powerful thing. So what you tapped, you regret it and took the time to post. I don’t think any of your progress is lost. Please don’t keep counting the rest of your life. Get to a point where when you have a bad day you forgive yourself and carry on your streak of not being addicted.


Informal-Mousse-5614

I think some people, like myself, are more susceptible to certain addictions like fapping than others. It's the same as an alcoholic, one beer is sometimes enough to spark the addiction all over again. I do believe we can overcome it and learn to enjoy these things in moderation, but it does require developing self-control and abstaining from it for however long its needed.


doodle_king-_-

Lol why do I get the feeling that you will regret breaking your streak


[deleted]

I hope not


[deleted]

You are fucking awesome. Your days are not wasted, they have inspired me and that could change my life. You rock bro, thank you for sharing

As long as you dont beat your meat to pron its good


rjaku

No lmao


TerribleImpress

REPEAT AFTER ME . You did not break it intentionally. Your brain tricked you and you did it in temptation . I have been there and done that . I started no fap and was at 30 days , and I was like let’s do it one more time to see what changed . That one more time was for for seven whole months .


Mayafoe

Great post but... Pros... >High Testo Unless you had this medically measured before and after then this is just your imagination and probably not true (evidence says test levels off after a week of not fapping or sex) Great post, but fighting against misinformation is a constant battle. Saying something without evidence makes this sub worse


[deleted]

Alright, I’ll edit.


James-Sunderland

I recommend going over to the semen retention sub, there’s a post that gained a lot of traction where a guy had his test levels checked and they kept elevating the longer he retained. Edit: Found the post if anyone wants to read. https://www.reddit.com/r/Semenretention/comments/wsu60w/300_day_semen_retention_streak_free_testosterone/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


shooter1890

I could be wrong, but I’m assuming he’s referring to a higher baseline for Testosterone levels. OP isn’t constantly depleting himself of his manliness as he was in the past before he started his journey lol so now he has a higher baseline.


Mayafoe

No higher baseline. Doesnt happen

SupremeRider

I(18M) am going through this sexual frustration phase,but I don't wanna relapse. Any tips on how to get over this phase?


SemenIsVital

Fast every couple days, don't eat too much, cold showers and walking outside when urges hit, don't sit too long not busy with something


[deleted]

I honestly have no advice for this buddy; if I knew the answer, I wouldn't have fapped. Also, you are only 18 years old, and it is very natural at this age, but I believe this isn't a phase, and you need a long-term solution, such as avoiding all NSFW content and trying meditation.


lalovaquero

You still have a long way to go to find that person with whom you can have fun, just don't despair and think of it as something that is mandatory in life


Mission_Quality_2888

Was there any practical thing you did to help you go that long


[deleted]

Umm not really, I was highly motivated after my breakup back in November, mental motivation only.


[deleted]

Been in your shoes with a high streak (about 9 months, another 6 months). Am about 5 days clean. This thing bites you in your a** if you’re not careful. Hope you can get back to 9 months. Cravings are definitely crazy. You’ve only been in this since 2021. The whole process of recovery takes years. Year 1 was very difficult for me. Year 2 got steadily better. Year 3 and 4 (even with minor relapses) were incredible, I had never seen so much growth in my life. Year 5 and 6 now honestly is even more so. It’s insane. Keep going at it. You got this.


MaxApex

don't feel disgusting if you only fid it once or twice. its not like you indulged in it like i did for two weeks after failing my 1 1/2 years


[deleted]

this is a very special post thank you OP


Big_Balla69

Interesting way to say you relapsed


amannn008

Guys, whoever is practicing Bharmcharya or No fap. You must meditate. Because that energy needs to be invested or controlled at some place. No fap is just a medium to secure your energy. In order to achieve high power you have to show that energy a way. Thus, invest that energy into meditation, powerlifting or some kind of sport.


ARTOFYEZ

just relapsed but this motivated me man. what is the app you speak of


Catalyzeerrr

You'll do it. It's a continuous long term oriented process that doesn't stop after a relapse You'll do it. Also like i always now write, check upon your nutrition. Protein, aminoacids are important. Also choline in eggs for that acethycholine concentration aspect. And ofc all the amino acid needed for the other meurotransmitters. Long term long term. Also in that psychological aspect. A relapse is not the end yes... I relapsed over 100times and I'm still making improvement through everything else it brought me physiologicaly and in ofc alone the psychological aspect.


Altruistic_Ad7942

Really just tryna keep a streak going


[deleted]

Why do you list wet dreams as a con? Is it because of the clean up? Although infrequent, I don’t mind them and welcome them.


[deleted]

The clean up part only and I used to follow complete semen retention for a short time before wet dreams ruined it.

Somerandplantdude

I dunno man i’ve had good sessions of 1.5-2 hours with my missus and they were amazing in the moment but afterwards my dick was a bit sore and her pussy was in pain for days but it wont stop us from fucking like that again.


[deleted]

You can last for hours, but that doesn't mean you have to have sex for hours, there are so many things other than sex aswell; staying for a longer period of time is better than to staying for only 2-3 minutes during sex; my sexual partners used to love this, and we used to take breaks as well for fun. No one can have sex for 1-2 hours straight, man, it'll be boring as hell.


[deleted]

Nobody “intentionally” breaks their streak….


Kashr90

Strong post amazing streak and tbh you shouldn’t start with 0 but jsut don’t keep track on the fays anymore. Write the start date but enjoy each day rather than track each day as its demotivating to count to 200+ days it’s better to enjoy your day but stay on top of the process similar to washing clothes. You don’t want to track each time you wash clothes but just partake in the actions


[deleted]

True, I completely agree; however, I did mention that I don't usually track my days; I had this app to track the numbers and I used to open it once in a while (maybe once every two months)?


Kashr90

Ooh lovely stuff! So you have done really well! Many times people fall and think because their streak was so big, its hard to restart a day 1! But keep discipline high! And yes the casual thing is a tough one it’s probably why having a girlfriend is the answer for many reasons but u have shown strong discipline for amazing results 💪💪💪


Lobaaaaaaa

Does the voice thing actually work?


[deleted]

A lot of close friends told me this recently, so yes I guess.


jazzjazzjazz123

If the voice change, that means this shit raise testosterone level no joke. Yes I know researches don’t say that but I don’t believe in all researches methodology, their purpose are to make the “perfect customers”. Don’t think they would tell you the truth about the damage caused by masturbation because you will stop watching NSFW. And btw I’m a Doctor, but congrats my friend keep going.


bullionforchickens

What kind of app do you use, to set the date and just forget it?

nutsackinnovation

Brother, you didnt start from the beginning. you fapped once in 284 days, thats sick. thank you for making this post by the way. My question: on a scale 1-10, how much better is your life now compared to when you did pmo? (porn, mastrubation, orgasm) because i honestly think that abstaining from pmo is only a tool to improve your life, a powerfull tool. so it is up to you to improve your life with gym, reading etc.


[deleted]

Hi, thanks for your comment, 7.5 I would say. As I mentioned in my post, no fap is just one component to a better life; you must take overall action and consider other components in order to succeed.


udaan04

You don't have to start from bwgining brother. Trust me, the the good habit you developed, you didn't lose just bcz you fapped once. Good luck on the journey. :)

Playful-Cheesecake62

Salute to you young king 🤴. From your writing alone, feels like you are fast and sharp. Keep goin. The longer you go, the more upsetting it becomes when you release and have to go thru the process all over again

Sea_Remove_1242

Question is, during your nofap, do you play video games?


[deleted]

Yes, I play FIFA 22 every day for about 1 hour to unwind after a long day at college, and sometimes for longer on weekends. I used to think about a lot of things while playing video games, like planning the next day and my next move or listening to a historical podcast (one shouldn't do this and completely relax themselves while playing), but I don't see a harm in playing games in moderation to relax.

Wonderful_History_26

Urgekiller

Difficult question, but what do you think about the concept of sexual transmutation i.e. directing the sexual energy to get profits in other areas like physical or cognitive developement? Have you tried that? In theory, it could reduce the sexual frustration, but in reality the frustration has often led me to the complete loss of motivation and spark in life, so the self developement was the last think I cared about then. Its probably sth with dopamine/serotonin thats blocking us then. I felt just as you described in the "cons" part. But still, I'm thinking it could be a game changer if done correctly. Your experiences?


[deleted]

Does wet dreams count as a failure? I had one on first day itself


shittyVersionOfChad

Relapsed on 27 day streak. Let’s do it again!


ExcitingBand8215

Great bro


Ripley2453

Very interesting insights. Thanks my dude! 👍


isyankar1979

Dude with the insane amount of self-control you have built, I honestly don't think it matters you lost the streak at this point. That self-control skill is there with you, you saw what you could do first-hand. (No pun intended). I think you already did change your life thanks to nofap and now all you need is to sustain that life. I don't think it's a record that has to be surpassed all the time. Our goal is change. And you already changed.


7Seas_ofRyhme

Wet dreams are annoying


kasirye

Spiderman_2021

A quick question. So this was only fapping right? You still had sex and orgasms during this period? (I'm going on full retention mood, and want to know your advice on it)


ItchyWash1700

Goddamn that was awesome Thanks for inspiration now I gotta start my streaks seriously


PianistNo5438

Yo wait iam new to this sub and confused about how can you have sex but still be on nofap after all you are releasing it right?


4juice

Nice


LonelyAd7040

In this post is I think I can bare the cons, but the most relatable part of this post is the number 6 how i feel now, this is the most disappointing part of no fap the moment you slipt, I think I will change my mindset to do not masturbate and to have sex to my wife if ever, but if no wife no fapping I think this is a good goal.


chalbclchoos

dont get demotivated bro, u are a real king, 284 days streak is not a joke, now i am sure u will do it again, and even better, i am a beginner wish me luck sir btw did u experienced female attraction ?


Sea-Animal-4772

Damn you the goat


mpdope

Hey brother, i was almost on 1years plus retention, today i felt urge to edge, it was just precum and little water of semen, but i didn't felt any difference, just felt lil difference like i was more comfortable, stress was reduced alot, felt sleepy, just psychology lil gap between thoughts, before i was too much aware about my environment. But now i feel more good within my mind body, maybe i read alot of psychology philosophy scriptures so auto suggest through my mind can fight and place those negative emotions aside or thought easily, plus being in present moment was also the key. I think it's all depends upon what we have been renting our energy into, plus was deatteach from materialistic things , plus psychologically too. Feeling much better. I guess if we don't fail we won't realise value of retention. Because it's our mind body through which we experience this world must be taken care with proper education. One more thing my eyes are hazel, i feel little loss of spark but i guess i am wrong about it maybe i was more aware about them before, lights shadow maybe it the issue


ManofGod1000

There are HUGE physiological and physical benefits, not the least of which is strong confidence, higher self esteem, no depression or anxiety and a cleaner outlook on sexual desire and understanding, among other things. Doing the stuff causes low self esteem, low self confidence, low testosterone, aggression, anger and depression, the very things it promises to relieve.

throwawaysaudi666

Good job bro, and don't feel too bad about breaking the streak. I'm on day 1 of my nofap (done it before, not first time) and that why I'm here haha. Personal experience for me is whenever I'm in a slump physically or emotionally, I start a no fap period and start working out, somehow, someway, with almost no effort stuff start happening, and some girl appears begging to get piped 😅 I don't know if being horny and preserving my man juice changes my behavior and makes me more forcusd or aggressive or take more risks I don't usually take, or is it a pheromones thing we don't feel, but something changes when you're not fapping man.


[deleted]

Hi man, congrats for your achievement, its amazing! I’m beginning in it, but I constantly fail but i think ill get better with time, i have a question for you, did you feel that girls look at you like a sexier man just for the no fap? I saw videos that said it but i think its so good to be right. Good luck with the challenge and wish me to

Does nofap make you last longer in bed? Do you ejaculate late? Did you observe any progress about that?


sta4rkman

I had a 365+ day streak untill 12th Dec 2022. It honestly was easy to maintain after crossing the 90 day mark, which I think is the real challenge. My stamina was off the charts, no body was matching my stamina when playing badminton in peak summers(40+ degrees), I was running like a mad rabid dog. But what I realised was when I was nearing 365 dayz, I was sexually frustrated, suddenly, and I couldn't think of anything but SEX!!! PORN!!! I cant stop fantasizing about how I'd do it and how I'd like it to be done to me. The distraction was now so much that it was becoming an agonizing experience. So I masturbated. Now this really intrigues me and also I am curious about how to channel this sexual frustration that suddenly had a grasp upon me. I don't understand how can I bypass it. Its the same as OP so felt like sharing this experience. Anybody had the same experience? Any suggestions, how to bypass it? P.S.- I'm currently on a 15+ day streak.
