so your fapping was a gym for you?

Came home and rubbed one out and the depression was gone

Nofap is literally not for some people

Didn't even use porn

well it changed my life so...

Porn is really a factor for the results

i recommend nofap and reboot, try for 1 or 2 weeks.

Reboot?

Stop watching porn for 90 days (original time)

I get tired of changing my underwear once a week in the middle of the night. I also get no benefits from nofap apart from time saved not fapping. Which I natrually don't do when I am busy doing other shit. I don't keep myself busy for 2 solid weeks at a time since I am not psychotic or in the army anymore, so nofap doesn't work for me either.

@Kragt same here I actually do try to lay off as much as possible but when it becomes distracting I just clear the pipes and move on I typically only do it a few times per week now

The wet dreans (or nightfall) really sucks, i agree. You can change your time to sleep (wake up 4AM, go to sleep 9/10PM), i done that and since my frist week (currently on 7 weeks) i never had any wet dreans any more, and i dont know why

@Reaper Pretty much, if I am fapping every day it is more a sign that I have too much spare time. If I don't have energy then it means I am probably not taking good care of my diet.
So instead of stopping fapping, drink a cup of coffee, shower, make sure I got some salad greens in the fridge and watch some practical engineering before forcing myself to study something.

@Kragt yes addressing overall energy levels is more important I think

The wet dreams slow down after a few months but after 6 months solid I was still having them every 2-3 weeks.

Now, if you do some type of sports, if you go to the gym, and if you waste more than 30 minutes a day fapping, just go on nofap brotha

since you started talking about coffe, did anyone here ever tried stacking?

I live in a big cosmopolitan city so even without porn I get flooded with spank material on television daily it does not seem likely I could stop completely until I move somewhere more rural

Shutdown your social media, turn off your TV and be a monk lol

@PhoenixK7PB I fap 3-4 times a week and I only take 1-5 mins

well, just dont be addicted to it

@PhoenixK7PB I'm on the older side, I have been there.. it was unpleasant

Occum's razor.
Take whatever advice that includes + nofap and try it without nofap.
Too much time fapping is a sign of another problem of which nofap is a possible solution but that is like saying a fever, a cold, and a sinus infection are all cured by hot tea with lemon and honey.

i used to spend a lot of precious time on it, so i just turn the switch off

Yes all addictions are negatives

all the major changes are in your head, same thing with porn

@PhoenixK7PB I will give you that I try to fap no porn as much as possible, it is mental cocaine

try to stay away from porn for 2 weeks... see if you can

I actually rarely watch porn, it's really over stimulating, I use my imagination usually, also it's easier to one and done when there's no external stimulant

agree, usually when i relapse (and i relapse a lot) i do it whitout porn too

@PhoenixK7PB I see, so you start having changes after about a week. I'll try 3 days first, see how it goes.

Thanks for the info mate!

Do that m8, if you want (and i think its more easy that way) you can PM me about your journey, if you cant do 3 days easy, i would say you need some help

I agree change is possible in a week, also if you are heavily addicted expect the first 3 days to be the hardest (pun intended?)

If you are changing your habits make sure you are busy. If you sit with nothing to do for 3 hours you are going to spend the whole 3 hours wanting to fap. If you are going to change habits now is a good time to work on a small side project or at least picking up a new netflix series and cleaning your kitchen.

^^

totally agree, go to the gym, learn a progamming language, learn 1 cook recipe a day, do something else

Spend 3 hours wanting to fap? Shit, more like all day and night

Doesnt means I do though

@Rhunespire do you think there is genuinely any advantages of nofap

That's purely subjective
