Ah man such great conversation in this thread. Hey guys that Porn addiction sub that As3 posted a link to is in the subs that Buzzy so generously added. He bought that one as part of the collection.

Now Bored I believe in charms against bad luck. My car has a Greek/Turkish evil eye and even though I got into that accident I could have been injured but I wasn't. I have never been in serious accidents even though Michigan has black ice and bad patches of snow and ice. My car might had some problems but I've never had a bodily injury because of it and I have pushed my car to the limit time and time again. My friend tonight just told me how he got into an awful accident because he tried to stop and he couldn't and it damaged his car horribly while on the way to an interview. He has a brand new vehicle, I've seen it handle snow and ice like a pro in winter conditions while other cars are struggling to get by.

I know crystal and glass evil eyes are different but I truly believe that people can place intent in objects and it makes a difference.

It's actually a long while since i've fapped :O. The thread title just made me realised this just now. I didn't just quitted or realised that this is bad for me nor did i have that urge to stop the addiction either! It just simply died out..... I don't know myself whether it's healthy or unhealhy since there's so many opposing articles on it but to me it's natrual because everyone does it. So no shame for me to fap away of it comes.

Now I have very unorthadox way of fapping, i am not a hand man. I used to go roughly 10-20 times a week of it when I'm on fire!. but now the fire is gone and I haven't been feeling the urge or to do it. It actually started happening alot less till it came to the point where often became to seldom and now nothing.... Being virgin i don't know what sex is like yet, hopefully i'm not a 'one minute' man .

During my prime time, I used to be so unfazed when it comes to women (though i wished I still had it now when it came to the physically hot ones) and now everytime I see a person of interest my mind goes wild. "Ohhh my gawd!! she's a machine!!!" "Daym!!!!!!!!" "Pwoahhh lovely rack/body/ass/face" etc. Like i'm on fire again!! I haven't gone out of my comfort zone to go out there approach, get to know and reach paradise at the end of the road but I haven't had any urges lately to deplete all that fire on fapping lately.

I've been considering quitting fapping for last few days, after reading some articles someone posted on Pherotruth. I'm totally in on this. No fap february! lol.

It's so true that it makes you less of a man. I've had troubles in the past with maintaining substance when it comes to perform time, and in retrospect I think it had a lot to do with fapping and pron use.

The worse thing about fapping is that when you fap you are just looking to get your nut as fast as possible. By doing this your training yourself to be poor performers in bed with women. It's setting yourself up for failure in the worse possible way.

WITH WOMEN!

It had its benefits but what i thought were benefits were a double edged sword. It was difficult to get off and i could go for a long time. By long time i mean with a little help from terrys thread on sex pills.

The girl im with enjoyed the effects but also became self conscious because i didnt get off every time.

I made a decision early december after reading stuff on your brain on porn that lifeisgood posted opened my eyes

http://pherotruth.com/Thread-No-fapping-No-Porn

I cut out porn.

And stopped fapping.

And there was a difference.

Definitely take a look at the link that lifeisgood posted. Your brain on porn explains a lot. Technology once again has outpaced mans evolution. Were constantly bombarding our brain with a dopamine rush when we fap and look at porn. Were over stimulated.

Benefits of no fapping no porn.

My orgasms are so much more intense with my girl now and she gets off much mote intensely when i do. In short. Life is much more enjoyable for me.

Lol right before christmas i told her i stopped watching porn. I could see a look of disappointment and she said sonofa bitch really?

Oh?

Youll see...she said.

She got me a porno as one of my gifts. I still have yet to watch it. She understands and is quite happy with the results.

Wow! This thread has grown into an amazing discussion, and you can always thank the members of PT for amazing discussions.

Thanks to everyone whose joined me on my journey.. the journey of a life time ;)

Unfortunately, I relapsed just last night, one day after vowing to stop. It's hard as shit when you have a girl sexting you pictures of herself in different outfits and the conversation just goes awry to the point where she's texting pictures of her naked and in very scandelous poses.

I told her about my challenge and she sent me that stuff. I'm weak when it comes to this and she's getting cut. What good is it to have those temptations. I'm keeping her around as a fuck buddy, but the texting when the urge is weak is going to stop. I'm very disappointed in myself last night, and I was so close to avoiding it and just passing out from the days activities, but lo and behold.. she had to text me.

Devilish ones these girls are, but I wanted to be true to myself and you guys, I'm human after all. Definitely going to look at the quitting porn addiction subliminals..

To all those who are on this journey.. and those following.. I've already cleared my computer of anything that might cause me to go awry.. including many hard to find videos.. but its for a good cause.

Thanks for joining me, and my motivation is even higher now because of last fucking night. :moil:

EDIT: Just because I relapsed, doesn't make this cause unworthy. Immediately after I thought about you guys and the support and it renewed my motivation tenfold, so please don't think or get the idea that I won't follow through. Its hard to kick the habit..

I think the worst thing about porn is it makes people think they are supposed to behave like and have the same stamina as pornstars. But it's just acting and they can link together multiple takes to make them seem to have more stamina than they really do.

Masturbating for pleasure and reducing how long you last is a problem, but it doesn't have to be that way. Some people masturbate with the intent of training themselves to last longer, and it's not necessary to ejaculate after masturbation.

Whether or not you masturbate I think taking a multivitamin is a good idea, just to keep your body supplied with what it needs to keep up your testosterone and sperm health.

I'm in.
Been in for 24 days now truthfully.

While I might have had some critical things to say in the last no FAP thread, it was only due to the attitude of the OP and some business dealings we'd had.

B4L keep trying man. Congratulations on your honesty !!
Since you can be honest with us, chances are you can also do it with yourself. (not what I meant HANDS OFF!)

Don't cut that girl out man, you're gonna need her LOLZ......


Here is my background, hopefully something said will be useful or funny. My account of hard hard it can be to quit...
Discovered masturbation around 11yo.
WOW WOW WEEE!!! I was in love!!

Unfortunately my family was religious and I attended a religious school.
You know what that mean I WAS GOING TO HELL !!!

So I tried to stop. Oh man did I EVER try !

Deals with myself "Ok self no fap for 3 days and get to spent $5 of my savings"
No joy.

Deals with God " Dear God if you help me stop fapping I'll say 250 Hail Marys"
NO JOY !

next attempt "Ok God I'll pay up first this time. How about 1000 Our Fathers?"
Yes I really said them all but still NO JOY

Self punishment.
Every time I wanted to fap I'd open the window to let in the winter air and meditate naked.
No joy.

Smashed some of the fingers on my left hand with a hammer.
Went two finger.

Smashed the other two fingers and thumb.
Went righty !!

I'm gonna leave out what I did to my right hand because that was when it started to get really crazy.
This all became an extremely unhealthy obsession, with the self harm done far outweighing any benefit of not fapping.
I still have some scars, and I don't mean emotional.

Finally I resigned myself to the fact that I was going to hell and went on a 3 day marathon.
Rubbed it raw I'll tell you what !

Years later I quit the church, dissatisfied with the moral implications of shaming people into doing the right thing.
I also dislike the coercive nature of the entire " You're going to HELL !" social manipulation.

As a single fellow later I used fapping as a drug free sleep aid.
It's funny because it's true.

When my marriage was sexless I actually developed a porn addiction, and was fapping 5-10 times a day.
You wouldn't believe the extent of my porn library. Over 50k jpegs currently, sorted and appropriately renamed.
Who knows where I got the energy?

Now I find it interfering with my weight lifting, reducing motivation, and making me want to take a nap.
There will be plenty of time to sleep when I'm dead.

No FAP FTW !!!

A lot of us are on so many levels with this journey that it's so interesting to see the differences, and everyone coming together for the same cause. It really is remarkable to get different views and personal anecdotes from everyone, all leaning towards one thing: stopping the fap!

Love the support and close-knitness of this board. It truly is one-of-a-kind.

Relapsing isnt a big deal. Just think of the benefits and start over. Old habits are hard to break. Lol.
