    Thanks man. Been doing better with the anxiety slowly but surely. It's not something I try to worry about too much because I've willingly put myself in situations before that have produced far more anxiety and I got through it, so as long as I keep my head in the game this should be a cakewalk in that aspect

    @skull67 yes that is correct. Your current streak does not matter in this challenge as you will be facing someone else. It's whoever can last the longest between you and your opponent.

    Glad hear that you're feeling better. I'm still in the fight as well.
     
  5. it has to be abstaining from porn, masturbation AND orgasm unless you have a wife or wet dream. In those cases it is just porn & masturbation just to make that clear. @ZenMode

    Also feel free to go ahead with the endurance challenge, just remember to keep it separate from those who are unable to join by keeping a separate list of fighters taking part in it.

    @bellator de Christi Relapsed again today. Sickness was starting to get worse and I was mostly in bed, which never ends well for me.

    That's the same thing as just abstaining from porn and masturbation. As you can't orgasm without masturbation unless you have sex or a wet dream.
     
  11. I also relapsed today. I haven’t put up much of a fight. I haven’t really resisted any of my urges, I need to do that. We’ll get through this though.

  13. Orgasm with girlfriend is not allowed, with wife it is.

  14. This should be changed. Its not fair for those who already have SO (significant other) but who don't marry because of their current life situation.
     
  15. i understand and appreciate the difficulty in following this rule, i have an SO right now and I can't marry her atm even tho we would if i could do so but i can't change this rule as even though it is more difficult/close to impossible to follow nowadays, O after marriage, not after meeting someone random or with girlfriend is an ideal to be aspired towards as leaders in my opinion. Also, O before marriage just opens the door to losing yourself to lust, in which we lose focus on our goals just to satisfy our desires which is against the point of being part of the duels.

    You know-I thought that thought process behind this challenge is to support concept of rewiring, especially that:
    1)there are some religious ppl (those I know are buddhists but pretty sure other religions also have some) who are not supporting idea of marriage and/or are even against it
    2)ppl who are nonbelievers will have at best some civil marriage which is not something irresolvable and probably in some partial conflict with idea of religious marriage
    3)folks already married have much bigger advantage against all others who will basically need to go monk mode or something

    Tbh I am married but from my point of view not checking compatibility with partner before marriage (some say no sex, others go with “no living together” or even some more drastic approaches) is like rolling the dice, hoping that you are truly lucky and stuff like vastly different libido will not be the case here. It’s only my opinion but if you will be unlucky there will be ton of suffering and potential divorce. ;)

    I agree with @The Legend of Hope and @devsMind. it gives an unfair advantage to some duellists if they can have release and others cannot. The rule should be abstaining from Porn and Masturbation only.
     
  19. the process behind it is of course to support rewiring but the primary initiative is based on fighting within to self improve and duel yourself to become the best leaders we can become on all fronts involving nofap, health, career, studying and personal development. Thank you for the points you made. I'm not changing my decision and the rule however, i'm not looking to debate that too but i will respond to your three points.

    1. I understand that some religious people don't support or oppose marriage but my reasoning to not allow O outside of marriage is unrelated to religion anyway, these duels have welcomed people from all backgrounds and some of the reasoning in which I made that rule is in the reply I made before.
    2. For people who don't believe, the rule still applies because having contract law between a relationship is a physical proof of integrity, which a leader requires as an essential. Even though actions in marriage may be different to showing integrity, the proof will always be there as opposed to not having any contract law basis in the relationship. Regardless of whether the person would like to marry or not, the rule is based to help build them to be the best leader they can be.
    3. There is an advantage for those who are married in the duels. This is better practice than having a level playing field as you're more likely to try harder if you are the weaker fighter and it's more representative of similar situations you may face where your opponent, whoever they may be, is likely to have some sort of advantage over you.

    You make a good point that it will be hard for those in out of marriage relationships, if it is too hard I don't recommend taking part in the duels for those people at all.

    I'm sorry if my decision is difficult but this is the decision I have made and this rule that has been in place for all 546 pages of the duels, is going to continue to be in place.
