30 Days No Masturbation Challenge Starts Now!

45 posts in this topic

For me counting days would make fapping something I'd avoid in egoic ways. Separating it and making it seem evil. I'd just let it go and be and not even care or think about it. It requires admitting when you do fap though, but even then I wouldn't make it a bad thing and that would help me let it go.

Of course you can be happy about a no fap streak but imo see it as abundance and something that will enrich your life instead of expecting it to make you happy to not fap for 2 weeks. If I were to be counting days for it it probably wouldn't be something like that. For me it would have to come more naturally. I also have no need to track it since I don't doubt whether no fap is good for me or not. Having energy is nice.

But naturally you will count days though if no fap is a thing you've been really struggling with and an important part of your life. For me I have other things to focus on, like the beauty of the current moment or what I'm doing.

I just failed.

No biggie, start again :)

A better idea would be to set no goal or expectation, just be and do it naturally by following your own body and not necessarily counting, this way when you do feel like you have failed it won't effect you as much.

Practice makes perfect

@pluto I see your point. And most of the time Im harsh on myself whenever I failed on something. Im more of a type A personality so it's hurting me more than benefits me sometimes.

Start again. That's what I'm doing with my diet. Life taught me I should never give up, all successful people failed and tried a million times. Im gonna do the same because success is THAT, exactly trying and failing over and over until you become perfect and achieve any goal. I wish the best mate!

@PretentiousHuman me too. But you gotta keep getting back up. 14 days has been my longest streak. Ready to break it this time :D

nofap for (your age / 5) regularly.

circulate the energy with breathing and kegels, it helps a little bit and develops you.

personally 2 weeks is too painful, i wish you well in your mission though.

@veqsms Good for you. I think what's this challenge is so hard for me to get by is the fact that Im looking at masturbation as a sin which was taught to me by the church, school, people around me. So whenever I am feeling some arousal and desires for a woman, Im feeling im not doing some good to myself.

I see, the dark side of technology is that we are facing pornography materials too early and too easy. Fast internet and big screen makes it horrible for this aspect.  

I believe that people who lived 50 100 years before were more healthy more motivated to make things done

Search benefits of nofap on reddit to motivate a little bit.

@pluto What does NoFap mean to you? I thought you weren't supposed to ejaculate.

Well depends some people just do NoFap without sex and some people who have a partner or have sex do it with Sex and some do NoFap and sex without Ejaculation. This way i feel you can still please, give and love others without "feeding the ego"/Ejaculation for your own ego-boost/pleasure. That's how i see it sometimes although it could be seen in many ways, i guess we just have to find what works best for us.
