CONGRATULATIONS ON 13 DAYS OF NO PORN !!!! Looks like your self-discipline is growing. (Self-discipline in one area of life always leads to self-discipline in other areas.) Here's a list of tips you may like: Benefits of No PMO 1. No social anxiety; 99% of time relaxed, calm, cool; easy to be sociable. If I do start to get nervous I think, "What do I have to be fearful about?" And I get calm in about 1-2 seconds. 2. More attention from opposite gender -- without trying 3. No brain fog; can concentrate easily. Can think clearer under pressure. 4. Increased motivation to get things done. 5. More Stamina -- can hang in their longer at work (be tough) and complete projects; can work overtime, while others can't 6. No fears; high levels of testosterone = strength and don't take bs. (No one has messed with me in 52 days +.) 7. More time for good/productive things. Not wasting time going to phony porn sites; fapping to pixels; lusting, etc. 8. The opposite gender increasingly becomes less and less of a priority. 9. Improved Confidence -- (online comment) "porn and masturbation lowers your self-esteem and confidence" 10. More Respectable -- (online comment) "if you resist the urge to masturbate -- a practice that is generally condemned -- you are likely to feel more respect for yourself; and others will respect you more." We all can quickly tell if a man or woman is fapping ... nervous ... weak … fearful … has shame [trying to hide something] … 11.
