    I am starting my journey. PMO damaged me, but no complaining. When you retain, you gain.
     
  4. I'm with you. I know I want to leave this behind and stop things before I get into porn or lose my virginity. Let me know how I can help and I have a couple of things I have learned that may help others like a comfortable way to take a cold shower if you need to and such.

    I can't imagine it to be an easy task either.
     
  6. Hi VP,
    please share your advice about cold showers.
     
  7. If you want to do full body for special reasons you can but I do a special cold shower I leave my briefs on to decrease the stimulation then at the end of my shower I redirect the spray from the waist down and Sloooowly turn off the hot water. As the temperature drops, your body will not notice it and cramp or react. As the temperature drops further I just wait till I don't notice before I continue further and you will find that in the space of just a minute, you have full cold water running and numbing you. Make sure you do not do this too long as it may not be good for you but you will find that just taking the temp down to full cold and stopping can be a real relief. then off to sleep quickly before you thaw out. Don't do it for any longer than you usually do with a cold shower but it is a lot less of a shock to your system.
     
  8. I think I was looking for exactly this kind of post. We shall make this a lifelong streak .
    We can do it together. From the day my counter has started, It has never been reset . It's still going and I will not break the counter prompted by my stupid addicted brain.

    Today, I celebrate three long years of NoFap!
    I do still remember that February day three years ago when everything was doom and gloom for an entire week afterwards, and after 10-12 days of abstinence, I discovered this sudden rush in energy and joy that I had never felt before (or at least not felt since childhood).
     
  10. Well done Angus! Your story is proof that abstinence is achievable.

    Hey fellow NoFappers!

    I just joined this site because I've decided to abstain from ejaculation altogether until I get married.

    I unfortunately just relapsed with MO and I've been brought back to reality once again about how awful loosing your semen feels.

    My longest streak without masturbation or orgasm was about a month and half.

    Eventually I'll get an urge and my rational mind isn't working and boom, I've lost it.

    I don't struggle with porn much these days, but I do still struggle with masturbation.

    From my most recent relapse, I've decided to write down everything that lead up to it. From that I've discovered several triggers.

    So from this day forward, I'm commiting to never ejaculate until I get married.

    Keep me accountable brothers.

    You can make it brother, everything is a skill that takes time, even abstaining.

    It is achievable but also some hard work behind. In order to abstain long-term, I have learned that you must be on top of your game almost every single day because as soon as you relax for too long, a relapse becomes a lot easier.

  14. I am on a year long journey of no pmo in what I call "The year of self growth". What I'm finding is that if you are content with yourself, you won't have that feeling of longing for women. With semen retention, you become a male of better worth when you work on yourself. My goal is getting top tier social skills

    I don’t really understand it.
    So you go a step further than No PMO and have also no sex because you don’t want ejaculate?
    Or do you have still sex but without ejaculation?
    If you have sex without ejaculate to do you stop the ejaculation with squeezing the pc muscle?
    Is the sex better than normal sex?
    I can’t imagine a life without sex, especially not when you have a lovely wife

    "Fun" makes me suffer. Sex, porn, masturbation makes me suffer.
