Hi @incredulo Edging means that you M until you feel that your are ejaculating and stop to avoid that. You can repeat this several times to make the "pleasure of PMO" last longer. We addicts usually do this because we are never satisfied and want this to last forever :-(
Fercho very often I wake up and I am edging. I have no control over it. Of course when I realize what I am doing I stop. Did you pay for the NoFap $50.oo per month. Is it really worthy? is it better to pay for the whole year up front? your reply will be greatly appreciated
Yes, I pay for it. I believe they have some discount (or they had last week). It is 100% worth it in my opinion. Think about it: one session with a shrink costs much more and they know shit about porn addiction. Just showing up for the video calls and asking them for advise once a week pays the bill. I pay month by month, but I will be almost paying for a year now so it would have been better for me to pay annually ( I do not remember if we had this option by then). Just one thing: you will not get a successful reboot just paying for the site. This is like a gym: you do not lose weight just paying tuition. You need to take the whole course, do your homework (they give a lot of exercises) , participate in the forums and show up for the video calls. Otherwise it will be useless Fercho
Great words great thread FERCHO29. can you please tell me your age? For how long had you been doing these habits? Please answer these questions it will answer my doubts. Actually I have false believe that as a person get older like when he become 25 years old then these habits become easy to break, and i also think that 25,30 and 40 age people don't do these habits. These false believes tricks my mind that hey boy do these habits as you grow up you will break these habit easily there is no need abstain from this.please tell me more why i should break these habits now. Advance thanks for helping me.
Hi @INSANE SMART WARRIOR , unfortunately is not what you think. I am 51, was a PMO addict since 10 years old, so 41 years of my life I lost with this shitty addiction. It does not get any better, actually the longer you stay the harder it gets to get out, because it becomes such a vital and routinary part of your life like eating or sleeping. You cannot leav without your 4-5 PMO sessions per day, you feel that you cannot concentrate in your job, you cannot fell asleep without " the last night quickie one" You get SO desinsetized that you do not feel any pleasure while having sex with a real person, you just think on porn 24/7. You cannot relate with real people, just with pixels in a screen. Please read some writings I post in here:, this is what I called my "Emergency Tool box" , I had them handy in my cell phone Notes to read the, as soon as I got an urge. https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.p...y-first-320-days-of-reboot.62938/#post-473978 So, no. It does not get any better if you do not act now and chose a better life. I cannot believe now how much time an energy I spent in that shit. I have been almost 14 month clean now and it is heaven I wrote some tips in this post that perhaps will help you too: http://NoFap.com/forum/index.php?threads/tips-that-helped-me-to-start-my-reboot.46617/#post-330318 You can watch some interesting videos which are also very helpful in this post: http://nofap.com/forum/index.php?th...t-help-me-a-lot-during-my-reboot.39774/page-2 I also suggest you to read "Breaking the Cycle" by George Collins, it is a must-read if you are serious about getting rid of this addiction. Last but not least, I would strongly recommend you to take the NoFap Academy course if you can afford it. The course is great but the best value are the weekly video calls with @alexander (the creator of NoFap and NoFap Academy) and Mark Queppet, where you can chat with them in real life and listen to other guys's stories and problems too. Keep on fighting and never lower your arms Fercho
Hey Fercho Hey Fercho, You cleared my all doubts brother, these believes was stopping me but not anymore after I read your reply . Now I am ready tackle a war on these habits. I am on my 17 day PMO free, I am really happy that you gave me reply, I will use your tips. Thanks again .
Thank you @Portocala for liking this old post, it allowed me reading it again and remembering how shittY my life was 19 months ago. We trend to forget too fast how was life "under the PMO influence " and why is so worth to keep fighting against the addiction , even if some days we feel weak and too urged Fercho
Congrats, Fercho. What a big step. I can relate unfortunately to what you mentioned about ill treatment from others and that contributing to later addiction. It is a rough life and takes time to come to grips with the truth. Thank you for your post. Nik
Thank you @nikh fornyoir remarks Yes, life sometimes is not good but we do not improve it with this addiction. We need to stand up as men and not hide as little children Stay strong Ferxho
I'm coming off of 6.5 months of no PMO, and I want to return to where you are Fercho. Keep inspiring us! Keep going brother!
Hi @HacKadi , PMO means watching Porn and having orgasm while masturbating. If you go "hard mode" you chose not to have any sex at all. I am doing it "soft mode" which means I have sex with my wife. Never could be more than 3 weeks without sex, and never tried hard mode neither. It was hard at the beginning because I had PIED, and my dick was totally insensitive due to so many years of heavy PMO. But eventually it got better and better, and after 29 months I can hold an erection though the sex intercourse, even being 53 years old. Which is a miracle for me, and one of the reasons I can tell that quitting PMO is totally worth it, even if it is hard as hell Stay strong Fercho
Guys pls help me.....It was the 26th day of my journey (last ngt) i saw some kind of canibalism horror movie suddenly some explicit content came out of it. ......now can this become a relapse?
No @Sanny bloom , do not worry Relapsing means that you intentionally are exposed to P or madturbate, or watch other P substitutes ( bikini models, etc) . You will be accidentally exposed to nudes scenes in movies all the time, or images that can trigger you. The best is to change the TV channel when you realize , or to leave the place ( I was at the mall yesterday and suddenly I was surrounded by a lot of pictures of models in underwear, it was super triggering so I left that area immediately ) Congratulation for 26 days, this is great Fercho
a little message in there to all the people on here that reach 30 days and think they have nailed this. 500+ and still fighting. fair play @fercho29
