It should come as no surprise that fapping drains you of your precious energy. Based on my own experiences, it would be hard for me not to stutter or mumble my words in the first 3 days after a relapse. Yesterday I had a presentation. My colleagues had a hard time understanding what I was saying because I wasn't able to be articulate. Fapping amps up my social anxiety to the point where it's impossible to stay calm when speaking in public. Obviously, it's gonna be hard for me to make a move to the girl I like. As for productivity, well. If you're still at school, say goodbye to high quality homeworks. You'll feel exhausted before you even do anything. I currently have a lot of assignments and I just don't feel like doing it, since I just relapsed 6 hours ago. I'm jeopardizing my career because of my addiction to porn.
Thank you @Davekransberg for your detailed analysis following a relapse. Good luck on your journey, stay vigilant!
All true. And very accurate. Forgot to go to work the other day... Guess what I was doing the morning of. Yeah. That's right. That's how fucking bad it's gotten. I'm currently about 6 days in. I feel much better. I also get very productive work outs at the gym. I don't fully understand why it's so bad. But any man over the age of I'd say... 18-19. You cannot live a good life whacking off. It'll slow you down. Hey if you don't want to be productive and just come all the time fine! Find partners to do it with. But don't do it alone. Nothing is more depressing than sitting in a room looking at naked ladies on a screen playing with yourself
All the men's power are in his sperm, the virility, the dominion, the leadership etc. Sperm also have the power to create human that would impact the future world (when we do PMO we totally forget at all this)
Sometimes I got really depressed thinking about billions of future humans that I killed because of my selfish desire to have orgasm. I need to keep remembering this the next time I'm feeling horny.
Maybe it doesn't affect everyone. I'm an introvert, and I've been struggling to have a normal social life before I'm addicted to porn. This addiction only makes it worse.
I've noticed that I oversleep so much more after a relapse. M definately has some effect on energy levels.
Yep, been having a hard time lately and notice my confidence level down. Been avoiding women again and desiring to be alone. Need to reverse this. Felt good when I was staying away from the junk.
These negative things you are feeling are actually a blessing. I'll explain. See because your cautiously awear that your relapse makes you feel thus way yse it as fuel to never go back I challenge you to aim big 3 years. And make goals to make this happen dont jeperdize your furture. Become a super human
Ok bro I wouldn't take it that far. Pretty sure you wouldn't have turned ALL those sperm into kids anyways XD
The two mains reasons for why it is so bad for you are following: -It messes up your dopamine receptors (and gray matter) and since masturbation is an activity that releases a lot of dopamine, you will crave it and it ultimately becomes a compulsive habit that's very hard to quit. Whenever you feel some urges, you just can't help but touching yourself again and again and again. That's what makes it so addictive and hard to abstain from. -You lose a lot of precious minerals, nutrients and proteins by ejaculating and the more often you jizz the more energy and minerals has to be redirected by your body to produce some new. Every single jizz drains you of an energy amount equivalent to what it takes to produce 3-4 dl of blood so there are some valid reasons as to why it drains you of focus, energy and drive.
Do you really feel better and lose the brain fog? I feel like nothing in life is exciting anymore. Nothing "wows" me. It's like my soul is numb. I've never related this to porn but do you think it is? Is it possible that my reboot will bring back some of my feelings and life?
You hear so many men with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but do their doctors tell them it may be related to fap? Nope. But this certainly rings true to me. Many times I fapped at 6pm and went straight to sleep afterwards. I normally stay up until 24:00 (midnight) So what I am saying is that 1 fap added an extra 6 hours of sleep needed to compensate for the loss of energy and vitality
