I want to get rid of them because they bring nothing but misery to me in the long-run. You guys might say that these are healthy addictions. How’s any of this different from masturbating? And if none of these things go according to how I want them to, my self-esteem and general level of happiness takes a serious blow. Having meaningless sex with a new girl every time.
I go on tinder so frequently to see if I can find my one true soulmate (or maybe just get laid soon). I check my phone every few minutes to see if that cute girl I texted has replied to my texts/ snaps. But the more I try to avoid them, the more my confidence is shaken apart. These addictions aren’t anything severe or serious. Ever since I started NoFap, I’ve realized that I have way too many other addictions and obsessions. If we can learn proper self-control, we can master anything.īut I’m a hypocrite. But once we start controlling our sex urges, our mind realizes that there’s more to life and this world than just sex and hot women. Maybe the constant glorification of sex and fine-ass honeys that we are exposed to daily has fogged our general perspective - now we can only think about sex and what it would be like to sleep with women that have ‘perfect’ bodies. However, I don’t like to refer to them as ‘superpowers’ - how do we know these superpowers aren’t just normal human tendencies? Yes I was able to feel all those things you call ‘superpowers’ too - sudden increase in confidence, laser sharp focus, more attention from women, easier to find sex, energy boosts, etc. Once I quit fapping, my mind did feel a lot clear and I was at peace more often. But this makes me wonder how can all these man-made, artificial things compose our personalities? How we fill this void makes us who we are. It can be anything - religion, spirituality, women, academics, work, porn, tinder, sex, mobile phone, TV, movies, and so on. All our life we try to fill this void with something or the other. We are all born with an empty void inside of ourselves. Instead I’m going to talk about what exactly I learned about human personality and will power over the course of last year. My post won’t come anywhere close to that.
And also there are way too many wonderful posts here that give some great tips and tricks on how to deal with urges. That’s up to you to figure out what works for you and what doesn’t. I can't tell you what exactly I did it and why it worked.
After constantly relapsing for 4 months, I gathered the will to go full cold turkey.
He described his enhanced ability to focus, increased levels of energy and him becoming irresistible to women, as super powers. Yes, a Reddit user called Brohit claims that when he gave up masturbating for 700 days, which is roughly two years, he started experiencing positive change in himself. But one man claims that not masturbating can make you a superhero. When it comes to sexual health and awareness, masturbation is a hotly debated subject with different medical opinions and the fact that it is considered a taboo in some cultures to even discuss the act.Īmidst myths about it being unhealthy, some experts suggest that there’s hardly anything wrong with it while many even describing it as beneficial.
