    Totally agreed, mates. Not just a movie, it's an entire experience. :) On second thought, I might re-watch it again this weekend.:D

    Day 31 - Jedi Knight

    @LLOYYD I always though jury duty was mandatory if you were called up, unless you have an exceptional reason. Well, it is in the UK anyway. I'm sure they've had people miss jury duty for various reasons, but try and get it resolved quickly. Usually in the UK, when your receive the letter regarding jury duty, you have to acknowledge it within a week, I think. Did you have to acknowledge it? If not, I suppose you could say you never received the letter!

    Yeah, physical activity like dancing helps with my urges when they reach burning point.

    Been a long time since I've been on Nofap. Took a lot of personal time off the site to really break myself down and think about the progress I've made and what still stands in the way of my success at this point in time. I was encouraged to start making small positive changes in my life and so I decided what better positive change than to engage with people all supporting each other to greatness. Glad to be here and I look forward to being a committed member of this forum.

    @Red_John Congrats on Jedi Knight! Recently, I called in and rescheduled it. So I guess I was given an option it was dismissed the first time around and said to never received the notice/never got to respond in time. So they will send in another notice two weeks from now. I guess I have to attend now. I can't refuse to not attend because if I keep ignoring it then I will to have pay the $1500 fine or I have to serve jail time most likely. Not good. Once I am there, I hope it is the same court place near where I live. Another thing, I hope whatever case it is will be resolved immediately like last time I attended. Still though, I am not qualified. Why would they pick me if there is case? Ah whatever. All I have to do is suck it up and attend it instead paying the fine or go to jail. Like I said, how unfair they can ignore it then they never get penalized for it to disregarding it. Seriously, another situation similar to this. Whatever.

    I'm back!!

    For various compelling reasons I missed some time, I admit that this did not help me in my recovery process, but I am already on my third day and ready to return to 110% every day.

    So.... day 3 checking in!

    Welcome again friend, I honestly thought you were keeping up and ongoing on your journey. Any way, welcome back fellow Jedi!


    I bet you JEDI KNIGHT is probably on break atm as well.

    I was going to ramble about something but I saved it for now. Minimize it as best as I can. Let's just say it is about the simple rules about P-subs and such. How people will classify P-subs as P. Stupid.
    As I was also reflecting earlier, there might be a chance later I will quit Hard Mode for a while if not for good and only do Semen Retention streak. Don't worry Jedi friends, I will still be here in the forums to do my own NoFap journey which is only a Semen Retention/NoFap streak instead. I am only going to say it here. I am still proud on my current SR/NoFap streak. No one can say anything about that :emoji_smiley: Still doing my best every day in Hard Mode. I had some ideas for Challenges to create for NNN rules applied for me to actually do for myself as Red_John. Only ideas atm. That's it.

    Even though as I said, I am not 100% yet. I know I can do this and reach all my goals on here if done properly.
    We are indeed we are in the endgame now. I need to prepare and doing whatever I can on this NoFap journey fellow Jedi friends.

    Day 32 - Jedi Knight

    @LLOYYD Glad you managed to get it resolved. Regarding P-Subs, I think for most people, it's not the equivalent to porn. For me personally, I used to masturbate to someone who is just a TV presenter. Non nude, but I find her utterly beautiful, so I guess in my case, if I went to look at pics of her, it'd be similar to porn, due to my past experiences of masturbating to her. So in my own situation, I can't look at pics of her, because my brain would make the connections I don't want it to make.

    So yeah, for 99% of the time, P-Subs aren't the equivalent of porn.

    @Red_John Oh I see, it is P-sub in your case. Even then, how is it even P? It is just a photo of her not P. She is not even in a sexy outfit and even if she was half almost half nake it is not P. As long as it is not nudes. That is not even classified as P from what you described even if they were wearing something sexy like a bikini. That's not P. Some would consider small things like short shorts or something is P not P-subs. Sometimes I want to say screw Hard Mode. Semen Retention/Nofap streak no can say anything to me on that matter. Even if I would slip at times on P-subs/P then I would be still on my streak regardless. Yeah, I will leave it at that. I will keep rambling about this.

    Fighting like Anakin Skywalker and as
    Jedi Master.

    Day 106!
    It's not P, if people say Psubs are P, they are tripping...

    But doesn't matter that P subs are not technically P—our brains see them as P, in a sense that they sexually arouse us the same way as soft-core P would. The brain doesn't care about dictionary definition of things, it will still have similar effect as P. And usually Psubs tend to be triggers that escalate to full blown P use, so it's good idea to avoid them for that reason alone.
    To give an analogy: if watching P is like O'ing then Psubs is like edging, in my opinion—you are close to the P, but not technically there yet.
    Personally I have forbidden myself from Psubs. But I have also slipped on them a while ago. But I only reset the streak in some challenges where the OP made rules that forbid Psubs. But I did not reset my whole PMO streak because of that, because it's not technically porn.
    Different people will want to set different rules for themselves, some more strict and some more loose. I don't focus on that, they can do whatever they want, I focus on my reboot.

    Hello brothers, how's it going? I didn't want to get back on the forums until I was on a sufficient streak. I didn't feel good about posting while relapsing every couple of days. I'm on day 8 right now and seeing how it goes. One thing that got me off of Pmo for now was a girl, or girls. I'm not dating either of them, but one of them asked me to come to her house last night and her boyfriend wasn't there. Very suspicious. Nothing happened between us, but she's comfortable with dancing, fighting and hugging me. Asking me to see her alone at her house when she's alone makes me wonder. And she said she felt guilty about not being with her boyfriend, who kept calling her all night and she didn't answer the phone. She said she didn't want him to know that I was with her. It really sounds obvious what's going on, but I don't know if she understands what she's doing, or is if it's just that she's acting on feelings and not thinking about it.

    And there's this other girl from my class who might be into me. I was thinking of asking her out. It's hard to tell if she likes me because she's really shy.
     
  17. I would like to join this group....I'm already a week into a streak so I guess this makes me a Padowan?

    The picture of the person wouldn't be porn, but because of how often I masturbated to her, my brain associates it with all the actions of porn and masturbating. I can't look at pictures of her (even though they're not pornographic), without becoming very aroused. That's why I don't look at pictures of her. P-subs aren't porn, but how you treat them can make the brain react in a manner that is close to watching porn. It doesn't matter whether they're dressed in a bin bag, or if they're in a skimpy bikini. It's down to how the brain reacts to it. This particular person is a trigger for me, even though she's non-nude, and just a normal TV presenter.

    I can look at celebrities I used to jerk off to, and be fine (in news articles - I don't go actively looking for them). I don't become aroused, so that's all good. I can see women with hardly any clothes on in music videos, or on shows like Love Island (reality show in UK), and not become aroused one bit, or even think a second beyond it, but then see that TV presenter, and I can feel my body becoming aroused and stimulated.

    I think this post explains it best.
    https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/p-subs-definition-and-thoughts.274364/
    What about if you watch T.V. and a commercial comes on and it shows a woman in a bikini and you get a boner. You watch the entire 30-second commercial and your brain lights up like a Christmas tree. Was that a relapse? Probably not but it would have been better to mute the commercial and walk away.

    That's what people need to decide with P-Subs. It's not porn (I'll say again, it's not porn), and it's not a relapse, but ask whether they're causing your brain to light up, and other bodily systems to react.

    Feeling good so far. Great to have so many long term lustbusters in here to be inspire by. Right now working on emptying my brain of all the pron that I've accumulated over years of addiction. Little by little I'll finally get rid of it all haha
