Bridge to Infinity

@Serotoninluv Sick thanks brother

Day 4 Summary: Its becoming easy not to fap, I am feeling more masculine and much more aware and focused In other words ALERT. I do get sexual cravings now and then but I acknowledge them and acknowledge that I just wanna fuck the shit out of my hand or someone, and then let that go and move on. I also think of it to be a "one day at a time" where I avoid thoughts like "oh im gonna be doing this for how long exactly?". I for once feel like im actually maturing. This nofapp thing serves as an autocorrect in some aspects of life. This does not excuse me from missing out on personal development work like "Building Self Esteem" and "Meditation" and "Living Courageously". What's great about nofapp is that it makes the things I mentioned above much easier to pursue.

@Austin Actualizing yeah looking forward to the benefits!! I recommend you start a journal on this thread just like I did.

Day 1 Time: 16 Mins Summary: I found that after 5 minutes of meditation you can get into the zone and be fully alert, still of course getting distracted. 10 minutes in I started to lose sense of where I was in the room, I lost all sense of the 3D space around me and I couldn't tell where my body was and wasn't. When ever my thoughts tried to look for my body my mind would identify it to be everywhere LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, INFRONT OF ME BUT NOT BEHIND ME. So then I opened my eyes just out of fear and curiosity to what was going on (I made a note of that) and I regained the sense of where I was but not immediately (after 30-40 seconds). It just felt quite weird, not enlightened or anything lol.. but this might be the beginning of that path.

@Raphael Great Work! I can just imagine in a few months time the difference of experience you're going to have while meditating.

Day 4 woke up with a huge boner. my voice is becoming deeper i noticed, i feel very energized, and horny as fuck. i did stroke my penis with coconut oil just because i wanted to see if i could get a boner and i did, but i didnt ejaculate or anything. So far so great, i heard nofap benefits just get better from here on. so determined to keep going!! i can get away with less hours of sleep it looks like and my energy doesnt take a hit. But it isnt something healthy to do. So i will sleep the full 8-9 hours i need tonight

@Leo Gura I feel like I need a wake up call from u.... Girls hit me up because im a musician and im handsome and they associate that with status or something and that makes them attracted to me at first so they go out of there way to talk to me yet they soon stop after a convo or two. Im way too needy, im always thinking of what to say and how she is perceiving it and I can't seem to make them hooked on me.

Day 3 still going! feeling sooo horny, im thinking about getting a prostitute for tomorrow, I just wanna have sex the urge is very strong. I have not given in to these cravings though. Today was spent mostly at home and alone so I feel like that multiplied the intensity of my craving for sex and masturbation

@ugreglo haha lol all are wrong except the part about status

@Javfly33 sure. many yogis and wise sages promote abstinence, there must be something to it you know

I was doing it 8-15 times a day until I stopped, wow what a difference, I have so much more energy and clarity and creativity. My dreams are full of life and are very vivid. My attitude has changed (more will power, motivation) my life feels like im on auto pilot and im doing the things that better me.

day 2 every now and then I get the instinct to just grab my dick and type pornhub. I haven't given in so far so great. im feeling much more assertive and social anxiety virtually doesn't exist. well not gonna lie it does but its so weak that it is over powered by a feeling of UMPH....

@Harikrishnan its the truth. I know it was too much.

day 2 its not the end of the day; feeling tired, I didn't get enough sleep I drank coffee. But as far as nofap goes I still feel alive (this sense of aliveness and creativity I haven't felt for a l long time) im gonna take a nap I slept only 5h last night.

@ADD your name is my brain

@Aeris that's you. im glad you know what works for you. for me I have some mild ADD and so whatever fapping does to the average brain I feel like the effects double or even triple with me. Not fapping gives me life. it sounds weird but there is no other way to explain it. Life meaning I feel alive where as before I felt numb and dare I say dead to some degree.

@TrynaBeTurquoise yea totally but I just feel like such a dick bag when I do fap, I feel like my life energies are being robbed. having sex requires connection, intimacy, understanding, some problem solving, physical effort, being in the moment, ecstatic presentness... Im sure that does something to counter act the act of losing semen. I don't know how valid this is but Paramahansa Yogananda talked about the releasing of semen as if it was losing a lot of life force, same was said by sadhguru.

@TrynaBeTurquoise what if instead you just had sex, wouldn't that be a more authentic way of sexual expression. for me this is not yet a reality, I have to attract women and im learning that still. but im saying in the near future im confident I will have no problems having sex with girlfriends and what not.

@Anna1 ok

you're assuming all people are like you or your friend group. reducing it to twice a day seems like a bad move, its un natural to did even once a day. plus I doubt I will get the no fap benefits if I do, do that.

@Fede83 I feel so much calmer in social interactions virtually 10 less anxious like the anxiety is so little and immediately is dominated with courage. and this is coming from a person who was very neurotic and insecure. I used to fap a lot as I said. discovering no fap is litterally life changing and it hasn't been much. I don't want to ask questions because the answers will probably lead me to placebo.

@Bridge to Infinity day 1 again stating to feel more relaxed, motivated and clear, I just had a nap and wow the dream was full of life and very vivid. before I fell asleep my head started to have these really weird spots of pain. I imagined it to be like little clouds in my mind just tensing, that has now gone and I feel very alive. Could yes fap be the solution to my brain fog, lack of motivation, social anxiety, general feelings of neuroticism, and ADD? sounds too good to be true, also sounds like wishful thinking. but I am here to see. I wouldn't be surprised if my life changed, because prior to this I was literally tapping up to 15 times a day.

I can't meditate, can't concentrate, can't work on any task properly without wandering off and doing something else. when I take add medication it fixes everything but I would like to be independent from the meds. is there anything I can do to fix my add problem.

@Leo Gura I know there is a long explanation for this but. in short what are somethings I could do to detox

FAIL I masturbated, I could not hold myself. weak....
