I almost gave up yesterday. It was my thirtieth day. I had to really evaluate what was important to me. I'm not doing this to fix a problem with my dopamine. I don't want more confidence in a bar or club because I don't go to either one. I don't need to be a pickup artist. I did this to exert my will over my brain and endocrine system. If I'm more confident as a result, it's because I'm aware now that I can subordinate my body. My penile skin is getting softer and more sensitive. I'm letting my sexual dreams guide me in the direction of what my authentic sexual desires are without the influence of porn, or having body image issues because I don't look like someone who is paid to look good. NoFap sometimes may overstate the 'science' of their campaign, but so do those who overstate the "benefits" of frequent masturbation (as well as those who assure us that porn is perfectly psychologically healthy). In the end, apart from all the neuroscientific jargon, NoFap has tangible benefits for your penile skin, your body image, and your willpower. There's no need to oversell the rest of it. If you want to nut easier during sex, do NoFap. If you want to see what your fantasies are apart from porn, see how much willpower you truly have, and get rid of the musty smell in your bedroom from your happy towel - do NoFap.
Do you think using phone and computer can mess up the dopamine part of rebooting in nofap? I use phone maybe 1 hour a day, my work makes me use computer. At home after work I use 1 hour for computer. Then weekends I use 4 hours for computer
I don't think so. I haven't read anything that would lead me to think so. If so, then I'm shit out of luck because it's unavoidable in my work.
Dude. My 30th day in a few minutes from now. And I have this INSANE urge to relapse. Like seriously INSANE. I'm getting wild hard on non stop. I'm also doing the evaluation thing just like you. Thanks a lot for the post man. I hope I can hold on to nofap for longer.
Yesterday was bad. It was like getting pulled from the brink. Everyone has to do whatever helps draw them away from the urge to fap. Ultimately, I decided that I wanted to keep my penile skin sensitive and that I wanted to maintain control over my hormones. Not everyone is religious, obviously, but yesterday I ended up saying my Rosary with a hard-on that could have broken a window. Even after 25 minutes of that I was struggling to keep my mind off my penis. I learned not to lay in bed naked to relax. It's a recipe for relapse.
I think work may be okay, because it's not fun? lol thats my logic when dopamine is released, if its fun or enjoyable, it will release dopamine, if its unnaturally fun then we get spikes
