Hey everyone I am a college student. I have been masturbating for last 6-7 years. I can't even remember when it all started. I have tried many times to quit but failed. My last try was a week before when I was able to fight on for a week but then the last day I did it for 3-4 times and since then I have been doing it daily. I don't know from where I got the motivation to fight back today. I was just googling through sites when I came here. I hope that this will be a new beginning in my life.
Welcome to the NoFap community vegito and I hope you find these tips helpful. Do not touch your penis unless you are peeing or washing it - no exceptions. Do not use porn (in any form), do not masturbate or cum - called hard mode. Remove sexual thoughts and images from your mind, completely/instantaneously. When weakening from temptation get up and do something: for example, exercise. Find a strict Accountability Partner, the best would be someone you know and trust. Also check The Glossary (above) for the words, phrases and abbreviations we use here.
Thanks IGY. These tips are really good. It generally starts with the first point you mentioned. I feel like touching or rubbing my penis. Then I will start watching some porn or sexual content online. If I don't have access to this, I would just imagine myself with someone and masturbate and boom the streak is over and after that comes the guilt part. Sometimes I just feel that this won't end ever. It will just go on like this. But this time with guys like you around I feel energized and motivated. Just completed my day 1. This time it will be different.
Thanks Andy. Hey can anyone guide on blue balls condition as the last time I kept a streak my balls started aching after 5 days and after that I was not able to hold for long. I masturbated on 7th day and instantly felt relieved.
As Andy suggested I am trying not to touch my penis due to any reason other than peeing or while taking bath. I avoid looking erotic content or other things online that would arouse me towards PMO. In my college, we have very easy access to porn through DC++. I have removed it from my laptop. So whenever I feel an urge, I have to download it, then install and then wait for the download which gives me ample time for controlling myself. Also, I have started playing table tennis that keeps me busy. And I found this NoFap Panic Button option really useful. DJ, if you can suggest some other measures that I can take, I will be grateful to you.
Thanks DJ. That was really helpful. I completed my day 2, it was easy just felt an urge before going to sleep. One thing I have noticed that a monster in my head tries to search for reasons why I should do PMO. And then I have to fight it. It goes away when I start thinking about something else. Hey can you also tell me how to setup a counter to check my progress ?
You can install a app called day counter from play store . actually it is widget.i am too using it.it is very simple to use just set once.set from your 0th day so it will show your current progress.
