Some of us start watching porn at such a young age we don’t even realize how much damage it has done to us. I started at 12 and just stopped at 38! Best decision I ever made
37 and I have done semen retention off and on for 10 years. Just broke up with my girlfriend and instead of being depressed and lonely, I’m doing what needs to be done. Day 8 and horny as hell but I’m sticking to it. I already feel mood improvement and strong
Avoiding porn and masturbation is just so much healthier for men. This video is great. I’m about 5-6 months in and my mind is now finally shifting away from regular thoughts of sex throughout the day, and I feel much more calm and balanced for it. Also real sex is much more enjoyable now.
It's not. Scientifically proven you need to either masterbate, or have sex, for your general hormonal and prostate health. If men can't have sex, they need to masterbate... There's really no other option other then coming across as desperate... Overconsumption of porn is an issue tho
That science about the “need” for men to discharge is absolutely bunk. Spiritual man is meant to ejaculate for procreation, and that’s it. Animal man has been mislead to believe that it is normal to have constant sexual stimulus. These animal desires are metaphorical “ satan” destroying us. You can only reach a higher state of consciousness if you abstain from these worldly desires/impulses. The ancients knew this, which is why it was practiced so regularly.
Thank you man, Your video is different than others. You've built up encouragement and give me another perspective of this addiction. It will be my first day, commiting to myself with this Long Term Commitment. Thank you man, God bless you
I relate so much to viewing people as more intimidating than they are. That was exactly how I viewed everyone, it made me so anxious becuase of it. As I came out of my addiction, I focused more on Christ and I add my witness to yours, you see people with more love and less anxiety.
It has taken me years, since my 18-19th birthday or so did I just truly realize how horrible my pornography addiction was and it affected me negatively. I'm 24 as of now almost 25. Did not know what SR was at the time, but intuitively understood that I felt better when I did not watch pornography. Started taking SR seriously since november/december last year, relapsed like 10 times or something and had sooo many wet dreams 💀💀💀, but it's all goowd in the end. I had this immense inner feeling after hitting like 20-30 days in my current streak where I was totally pissed off at myself and told myself I'm NEVER doing PMO again. Never ever, even if I relapse God, let it be with a woman that I love, not this BS pmo shit. But that came organically, I did not force it, and that point is different for everyone else. So if you relapse it's all goowd, don't beat yourself up, but get back at it, that point will come, just be open to anything. Also, I did the same behaviour before I did SR. I would plan ahead and actually be happy if I couldn't do PMO for sometime because then the experience would be even more blissful at the time when I could xDDDD I don't think we're alone in this thinking lol. It truly is something of a drug-addict mindset this I can imagine.
I am in day 37 or 38 .Yesterday I was too close to relapse because of my sexual thoughts .Thanks god I have a habit that I cut the internet service from my home , and I left my cell phone in gym lockers . Everyday I leave my phone outside home , and I cut the internet service from my home .
This is similar very similar in ways of thinking about me quitting the horrible ex habit of smoking. Clean of that crap, I am someone else now. Addictions are bearable as well as all other life ruiners.
I quit pron years ago like the sites. The only thing that is making me do it now is a stupid foot fetish. How can one break away from sexual fetishes ? The sites don't interest me anymore thankfully because its not real life but this would be so much easier with no sexual fetish
Deleted 16TB of 16+ years of curated porn and felt absolutely nothing but a deep part of me has always wanted to delete it and my soul needed this to happen. So much time and energy wasted but nevermind sunk cost fallacy, life is now, life is a lot more now.
Hi, if I may ask. Will you ever introduce masturbation into your life again obviously no porn as kinda of streets release, or self pleasure? Thanks for the Honesty.
@@barrymace3153 Yes, I've always chosen to integrate that healthily when taking breaks from retention. The key is to practise non-lustful releases, and not have them be too often.
@@sebjones1 I. Agree. I'm not sure if you are single. But I am for now. I do practice a conscious form of masturbation. Not a Wam bam thing. Woman I feel get more pleasure out of self pleasure than men. I'd like to think I'm the exception.
@@sebjones1 you should do a survey with your followers, I'd be curious if masturbation with know porn is something they can implement with going to porn. I call it conscious masturbation. Learning about your body et. Regards B
You realize you're supposed to fap sometimes. I used to do it every day and still got to triple digits and multiple 4 year relationships... not fapping is actually bad for your prostate.
Im on 2 months and currently i think im still in withdrawal because alot of my hobbies dont really seem to bring me the same joy as they once did. But i know it's because my brain has been abused for so long and it is trying to trick me to go back and indulge in those disgusting habits I have left behind.
@@Tabktopless-z9b yeah man I feel a lot better than I did a month ago. I'm slowly going up the ladder of recovery day by day. I don't expect to feel perfect in only 3 months after a 8 plus year addiction especially since I edged a lot. Edging raised the dopamine levels in my brain to a unnaturally high level for many years. After I learned that it made sense why a lot of things I enjoy don't have the same dopamine release for me. It's still shocking to me that I'm 3 months clean from that nightmare and I have no intention of ever returning. Thank you asking.🙏
Yeah but quit other vices and you’ll be fine. Go on a digital detox..your brain will be forced to find pleasure somewhere else Nofap is not enough most of the time
This is truly the best video on this topic. I tried and failed to quit for years. I hated that I did it. I’m about 2 weeks strong now (not counting exact days as I found that it did not work for me in the past. And yes, I know two weeks isn’t long, but it’s longer than ever before and I’m feeling great.) and I can’t see myself going back. I might go back, but I now know that I can push through. I didn’t realize it at the time, but all those failures were there for a reason. We all have our time. Don’t get frustrated because it’s not your time yet. When it comes time for you to quit, it will happen for a reason.
This was the best NoFap motivational video I’ve ever watched. You saying that your relapses were “okay” made me feel a LOT better about myself. I feel other channels shame you for relapsing. You on the other hand, understood, and reassured me that it’s okay to have slip ups. Thank you so much for this (also your mentioning of Alice In Chains). You earned a sub :)
I resonate a ton with this. It feels like there really is no choice. When I indulge in lower behaviour life becomes unbearable, despite the pleasure PMO can provide. I also like that you are honest about how it can feel worth it to PMO and do other activities sometimes. Truly, most people act like that isn’t the case but the reality is if it wasn’t that way it wouldn’t be a problem for so many guys. The transparency was well appreciated
This is the right term, REFUSE TO LET YOU SLEEP. I struggled so hard with this addiction. I just pass more the 30 days without porn I'm still struggling, but I won't give up this time. These weeks without porn was awesome, i feel more close to God by doing sport feeling energetic. I just fell good in overall. I just don't wanna go back.
Age 31 and finally seriously trying to break this addiction. It has made me not want to pursue women and it took me this long to realize this. Our brains are efficient and PMO is much more efficient then looking for a serious partner.
What helped me with all addictive behaviour is realising that stressful times in your life are where you really learn, grow and sometimes make brave decisions that alter your life course. When your using drugs to numb yourself, the feeling of needing to escape is often heightened at these moments and you don’t have the resilience to navigate them and therefore lean into the habit. At worst you fold and opportunities pass you by at best your facing the problem but struggling in a depressive lethargic way. Things do go wrong when your on the clean path but you see it so clearly and are able to put your best foot forward that your ready for the next challenge or something better comes along soon. Your also have access to better opportunities cause your able to face the world and look it in the eye without shame.
Remember that casino scene in Percy Jackson & The Olympians where eating the Lotus flower numbed their senses and kept them there for 3 days? Faping is just like that. Only instead of 3 days it's been 15 years for me. All the growth I could've done, compressed and hindered because of this addiction. Instead of trying to learn and grow, develop my social skills, my life skills and my studies, instead of learning to deal with situations, I resorted to this habit for stress relief. A momentary pleasure which cost me greatly and has ruined my life. But I've quit now. Hoping I can make what good I can after all the damage I've done to myself.
Truer words have not been spoken. Such a great talk. The soul does become sour after a PMO… I’ve felt this… I’m on the path of love and to be free. I wish you all the absolute best. Thanks Seb
Preserving male hormones that are screaming to be ejaculated is annoying af!!!! Idk how people find the willpower to stick with it. Brief backstory: 2013 was a solid year for me on the nofap journey bc I was simping for a girl but after she left the picture, that motivation disappeared too. Huge internal motivation is probably what I need :'(
I’m quitting that filth for life from today I’m promising myself that I will not view explicit content again and self pleasure in my life I feel disgusted in myself
Bro the bit about how spiritual practice made you see love in people as opposed to threats is so relatable for me right now. Heart brain coherence is powerful.
It certainly improved my academic performance and upped my work ethic. If you want to use it to increase your income, that would work as well. Your drive, hunger and motivation all increase in my experience.
I notice when I’m on a good streak, like 2 weeks or better, people connect with me much easier. It’s like they feel the energy. People that never usually talk to me come up and have conversations with me. I think it will definitely help with manifesting money
When Your are on Your First 5 Streaks and i Relapsed 5 Times always after Day 15 or Day 21. 6 months Feel Like Forever, But its really possible to have a Life without it. Over 60 Days now. Now that i identified my Triggers its easier. My Triggers are Not Hot Young Women No No No My Triggers are Stress or Extreme Boredom. Having a Job and Going to the Gym Lifting Heavy Stuff helped my immensely
An advice I can give to people trying to quit PMO: LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE DAILY ! It will occupy your time and you'll never get bored again. And you'll meet new people thanks to the language and discover new horizons.
Hey man. I wished I learned about this at your age. I’m almost positive that nofap will make you grow bigger and stronger. Just go for it because what the benefit of beating your meat daily? This could be a change in your life that benefits you forever
By all means I’m happy that this massage is spread but it’s a big misconception that quitting pmo will fix your insecurities, it’s the other way around, fixing your insecurities will help you quit corn. Addictions are a symptom of your problems not the source.
entire video i am curios if he talks or his hand. After 1 minute i have to stop watching because nobody wants to look at flying hand in from of face :D
8:12 Yes ,brother .Higher self/ Self consciousness is laughing to my mind in so many situations which are my past inhibitions of Mind and Intellect.😘😇 Pmo is needed mainly for body and mind with some time support of intellect.😂🥳
