Hoping this time I last longer

Hello sir and welcome to NoFap!

I will warn you now. The fabled "superpowers" are actually just an exaggeration by some members here. For those that don't get a lot of benefits immediately from abstaining or become impatient when their "superpowers" don't come, it can become demotivating.

Thinking you'll get "superpowers" are, frankly, unrealistic expectations. It's true that members will feel a lot better after reaching a certain number, but please don't expect you'll have, say, women throwing themselves left and right at you just because you've abstained for a month or so.

Stay clean and good luck!

 

The firat time I really tried I relapsed on day 30 or so. Then I fapped for about 10 days. I started again and now I am in day 86 or so. I had sex with wife on day 63 to orgasm.

Sex was awesome. Hard for penetration. Slow movements. But PE kicked in. However, I did not lose erection.

Since day 43 or so I seem to be in a flatline. Aside from the sex with wife day. Nothing. No erection. No arousal. etc.

I'll be reaching day 90 soon. But will probably all tje way to 6 months or 180 days and see if I can feel better like from day 10 to 40 where I felt like a real man.

 

Hey @ionthemark ,

I'm just a normal ordinary member. No moderator super powers and no special insite. I share my ESH (Experience, Strength and Hope) of what works for me.

Just another warm welcome and a heart felt hello. This community has helped me so much.

What worked for me was "working" it. It took hard work for me to complete a hard reboot (No pmo) for 120 days, then move into a Sex Positive mode.

First, reading the literature published by NoFap itself along with reading journals.

Then, doing the work. Writing in my journal and replying to introductions and other's journals.

Finally, but not least, getting involved with the fellowship. I found it on the forums, but also in people's profiles. The forums tend to be longer posts, where the profiles tend to be more "conversational".

That is what has worked for me. I like to remind myself that this community was here waiting for me with the lights on when I arrived. Now, I have to do my best to be there when someone comes to the community.

One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals. Reading other's stories with their victories and even defeats is a big part of my program.

Here are just a few journals to start with, you'll find more I'm sure:

I've found that the bricks that hold this community together are cemented with the support of the members of the fellowship.

So, if you would have found more profiles yourself, why suggest these particular ones as a start? Those relationships started with just saying hello. So, my ESH is that saying hello has kept the fellowship alive for myself.

Looking forward to your success and in seeing you say hello on these profiles,

if cold shower does not work, go for a long walk/run or a long drive.
good luck.

 

Hey @ionthemark ,

I don't think your brain is swelling from not doing pmo.

But, seriously, don't ignore physical pain. It is possible for the tire on your car to go flat and your stove to stop working on the same day. One has nothing to do with the other.

So, maybe see a doctor about the headache? Just to be safe.

And congratulations on the fourteen 24 hours in a rows.
