op here, I failed my nofap

Anonymous 02/07/16 (Sun) 08:10:38 No.1327

Reosting my post from a sticky thread because no one responded to it, not to hijack your thread OP.

I've been reading a lot about nofap recently and rebooting and all that. I've decided that easing off by first eliminating porn will be the best way for me. The problem is that I frequently don't fap to porn, so getting rid of it isn't much of an issue. Another thing I'm having a problem with is that in a lot of the stuff I've read, it seems to be a lot about regaining "normal sexuality." I don't want normal sexuality, I want to eliminate sexual desires, and all relationship-type desire in general. I've pretty much gotten over the "tfw no gf" problem, but I feel like continuing to masturbate will make it impossible to completely eliminate such desires. Is there a way to simply eliminate my libido with nofap?

Update: I'm five days porn free, but still masturbating to things I imagine.

What I tell myself when say that I want to just check for updates is, first I'd ask myself what would I use it for, and is it used for? Sexual pleasure and that's something I CAN'T have artificially.

Once you've gotten down the only use of it, you'd probably realize that it doesn't have any benefits or reason rather than what you just tried so hard to quit.

Neuroscience Speaks: How Using Porn Destroys Your Brain

Neuroscience now knows that willpower is a function of the prefrontal lobes of the brain. Scientific studies have also confirmed that using porn over and over actually reshapes these areas of the brain, literally eroding our willpower and our moral compass.

Neuroscientists call it hypofrontality. Hypofrontality is a state in which there is decreased blood flow to the prefrontal lobes of the brain. Hypofrontality is observed in schizophrenia patients and is also observed in all manner of addictions.

“Compulsiveness is a good descriptor of hypofrontality. Many porn users feel focused on getting to porn and masturbating even when a big part of them is saying, ‘Don’t do this.’ Even when negative consequences seem imminent, impulse control is too weak to battle the cravings.”

The porn-addicted brain has trouble thinking logically. When impulses and desires come from the midbrain, instead of being moderated, the brain feels these desires as compelling needs. The prefrontal region is supposed to be able to weigh consequences and situations and judiciously shut down cravings, but hypofrontality means the addict’s ability to do this is impaired.

The more one masturbates to porn, the more dopamine is released in the brain. Eventually dopamine receptors and signals in the brain fatigue, leaving the viewer wanting more but unable to reach a level of satisfaction. The viewer becomes numb to things once considered pleasurable. “To escape this desensitization, people, and men especially, expand their pornographic tastes to more novel stimuli,” Black writes. This leads, again, to more fatigue.

To bring the prefrontal lobes back into working order, a two-pronged attack is needed: (1) the old neural pathways must be starved, and (2) new neural pathways must be built and fed, increasing dopamine levels in a way that build up the prefrontal cortex.

Did I just fuck myself, no pun intended Anonymous 01/22/16 (Fri) 20:25:46 No.1286 [Reply]

So, I have a question nofap

I started on the 17th, today WAS my fifth day without fapping, usually a once a day guy (general touching at times, but not really full on fapping). I have no fucks to give about porn addiction or fapping addiction, this is PURELY for the benefits from testosterone increases

But today, I decided fuck it, and full on fapped for about 20m but never let myself get to the end, not really edging at first, because I wasnt going TO the edge, I just wasnting fapping in a way that gets me there quick at all (I guess after 16 years of practice, I have stamina, meh). Then finally did hit the edge and decided to mess around there for a little bit, maybe 5-10 minutes of back and forth between lazy fap that doesnt really do much but feel good but will let you back away from the edge, then sorta go full hammer mode right back to the edge. Kind of fun really, especially after 5 days with nothing.

But, unfortunately I went to far, I started to cum at one point, but, as I've done before, I can stop myself at will and did so before the first shot even happened. Of course the result of this though is that a small amount of semen does end up in the pipes, but not even a full shots worth (at least not after not fapping for 5 days, maybe if its my second fap of the day to completion). Wasnt sure what to think for awhile, took a breath, then messed around for a bit (meh, jizz makes a helluva lube) then decided to quit.

So my question is this, as far as the hormone side of things, did I completely fuck up the whole thing? Meaning even though I didnt actually have an orgasm, and certainly didnt ejaculate anywhere NEAR fully, did I screw up the whole 7 day cycle? Am I basically reset to day 0 now?

Funny enough, I've actually done that before. Edged and then just stopped. I dont really get the whole blue ball thing. When other guys talk about it I laugh along with them, but frankly have no idea what that feels like cause its never happened to me.

Ever see that episode of seinfield where they all talk about kramer having sex but stopping before he came and said "i'd had enough, that was good and I wanted to to go sleep." same concept only actually true, and about fapping not sex.

But thank you for the image link none the less

Anonymous 01/25/16 (Mon) 11:55:06 No.1299

>>1298

maybe you don't get blue balls because you have low testosterone already, have you had your levels tested? Arousal is one of our most basic instincts, being able to stop fapping and feel no need to finish is akin to having a big angry you shouting at you and not feeling any fight or flight response.

Anonymous 01/25/16 (Mon) 13:56:44 No.1300

>>1299

I didnt say I dont feel the need to finish. I said I've never had physical pain associated with it.

Meaning, you have that voice screaming to finish in your head and your dick tingles like no tomorrow begging to finish. But if I control it and stop, theres no pain in my nuts afterwards.

And no, never been tested, but like I said, low levels run in my family. So frankly, I wouldn't doubt it. Hence why I asked here bout the test level part of all this.

But fuck it, I'll try the whole damn kit and kaboodle this week, no porn no touching, and see what happens. I might as well, like I said, I know HOW to control myself, and theres no pain associated with any of it, just lack of desire.

But if >>1295 's hypothesis (the image) is right, its the whole thing thats a problem for test levels, not just orgasms. Which I guess if tahts the trophy I'm after, I'll have to deal with stopping the whole thing together

Fucking sucks though, I LIKE tits..

Fellow white men, physical activity is the only comfy way of dealing with your horny body. You must go for a run daily if you have a very hard time. Soon, that won't be enough (and don't run like a mile a day unless you're crazy. I run 1/3rd of a mile every day.) You gotta do something.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJAV5EVP_fk

If you failed, get back up. We must save the white race. Masturbating is rewarding yourself for not reproducing.

Do not go for the first women who makes herself available. Let her answer to the question "do you want to have kids?" be the answer. Don't ask it right away, but ask it on the first date or whatever, so you both are clear on what your intentions are.

DO NOT FAP, DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH DEGENERATES. SPEARHEAD YOUR LIFE. WRITE DOWN BUSINESS IDEAS, while the populace complains and begs for socialism and entitlements, you can pick up where the zombies are completely futile.

BE A HARD WORKER, I am no hard worker, but I value it, and whatever I do I know I am meant to be a hard worker, because no one else will do the work for me.

It's hard to acknowledge the years of slow brainwashing (by the porn industry), but it is necesary to do it and start changing. It's been said that it takes 21 days on average to build a habit; we can be sure it takes a lot more to unbuild a non-healthy one, but we can also be sure the long-term reward is far more meaningul than the short-term one.

pron addiction vs masturbation habit Anonymous 12/14/15 (Mon) 12:30:23 No.1231 [Reply]

So I wonder, how difficult is not fapping for someone who masturbates every day or two, but doesn't watch any porn? I know this is different for everyone, but I'm looking for anecdotal responses anyway. I've gone without for maybe a week maximum, but hearing that people have panic attacks and whatnot is admittedly spooky. So I wonder, is that related to the intense visual stimulation they've become reliant on (video porn?). I've always just closed my eyes and imagined shit, sometimes maybe using a picture or whatever, but I've only watched porn a few times. I'm wondering if that gives me a psychological advantage, and I wonder if any physical withdrawal is a manifestation of stress/psychic shit rather than physiological nonsense.

So tl;dr – how much of the withdrawal from daily masturbation is related to porn addiction

and a side note, my prostate isn't going to get fucked, right? I feel like I should still do it once every few weeks just for that reason.

I'm the opposite, actually. I still have major urges to watch hentai and, while I'm not really proud of it, I still continue to watch it. I'm 37 days fap-free so far though, and I can say for sure it helped made me feel better; more stable and relaxed, psychologically.

I believe the reason people stress the need to avoid porn is that usually masturbation follows it for many men out there. It will also screw with the rewards circuitry in your brain, causing you to feel less attracted to other things in life (ex: real women, working on your projects, etc.) and making you end up easily distracted, much like people with their hand-held social media nowadays. Basically porn is just mental junk food which is best to avoid entirely if you can.

Fapping follows the same reasoning because your brain gets flooded with endorphins after a discharge and, just like a drug, your body will scream to get its fix since it's so used to it. Your symptoms of withdrawal can even be exacerbated if your habit of fapping is tied to certain habits and memory triggers (ex: sitting down at your computer and finding out you're alone…). So yes and no, fapping is not necessarily tied to porn/hentai, but yes it can be a trigger. The biggest trigger, actually.

As for the prostate cancer thing, I don't really believe in it. If that were true, where are all the reports of dead Buddhist monks that died from abstaining? You'd have better chance to avoid cancer by watching what you eat and drink, than from expelling all the man-juice which your body recycles anyway and sends back to the bloodstream along with all the good nutrients (like zinc) that's in it.

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/26/brain-scans-porn-addicts-sexual-tastes

The main problem with porn is that it's an addiction: It stimulates your reward system and over time your brain gets a dependency.

There's also an added disadvantage because your sex drive is a part of survival (as is eating), and the post-withdrawal is often reported to be harder than actual drugs. If you've been watching thousands of girls in Internet porn for the past decade, you're going to feel something after abruptly stopping it, similar to the death of a loved one.

Some people get addicted, some people don't. It all depends on how you self-medicate. If you feel slightly depressed and you start using to deal with your problems, you're going to have a harder time. You might experience low energy, lack of motivation, anxiety, because your brain is trained for incorrect dopamine usage. It's funny, but people have been hospitalized for gambling addictions because they built their entire lives around it. The brain easily fucks itself when it comes to extreme levels of reward.

Pretty much every porn blocker I experimented with is utter shit.

Half of them are so dumb, it's comical (for example: blocking "nofap" but not blocking "femdom". Yes, this happened with several programs and extensions).

Others block virtually everything. Some of those do have whitelists but I whitelist so much it's ridiculous.

The fact that these programs got good reviews makes me believe the reviewers were bots, and that virtually all these programs are by company's hoping to make a quick buck selling shit-tier software to tech-illiterate parents.

For now, all I have is a long list of URL's blocked in my host files, but that's very far from a real porn blocker.

Did anyone come across a porn blocker that works?

Breathe to your maximum capacity, have a long inhale through your nose to your stomach. Then exhale slowly in the same amount of time. Repeat.

Mindful breathing will eradicate stress after you get into the habit of using it.
