    For the past week I've been sooo on edge, I feel like I'm at a breaking point

    I find myself looking up bikini models and female celebs and now I just feel like I have to bust a nut, which I absolutely DO NOT want to do

    Please help guys, I don't want to ruin what I (by the grace and mercy of God) have built up to this point

    Also, since starting NoFap, I gave up having sex too.

    What the heck should I do???!

  2. You could listen to music (no music videos), go for long walks, do some physical work, listen to podcasts or audio books... Lots of stuff really.

    And quit the p-subs. They can be almost as bad as porn.

    Also, the opposite of addiction is connection. Get "connected" to better things.

    If you can have sex then have sex. Choosing over sex or pmo choose sex.

    Do not fall in the slippery slope! It is dangerous, these pictures are activating the same brain pathways that porn activates which is the reason that you became very horney and almost relapsed.

    My advice to you: desexualize your brain!!! If it is not a real women or girl in front of you then it is a waste of time and energy and bad for your reboot and recovery.

    Delete instagram
    Delete tinder
    Delete facebook
    Do not go to google images
    Do not look up women on the internet

    No porn does not mean hardcore hardcore penetration on porn sites but also means pixels on a screen that you use to get erotic arousal from. Get it out of your life!

    You will drive yourself to doing it if you don’t stop looking at those images. It doesn’t matter if it’s not porn, it keeps the mind hooked in. Have a no looking up images policy, and if you do see an image online without looking it up just shut it down. It’s a very slippery slope looking at images of women you find attractive. It’s got me so many times like that.

    Stay strong and keep away from temptation.

  8. You and I are at about the same point in our journeys and lemme tell ya, I completely get it; it can get crazy inside the mind with all that pent up potential. Please stay strong and divert your attention as best as you can. Remember the benefits you're experiencing. Remember that those benefits will continue to appear as long as you keep your streak.
     
  9. By giving up sex, do you mean with your girlfriend? Or with casual partners? If it's with your girlfriend who expects you to have sex with her this may be seen as a clear sign that you want to break up with her. Is that what you want? If you want to break up, tell her. If you don't, withholding sex makes no sense unless you were 100% honest with her about why.
    Take a cold shower. Look in the mirror and tell yourself as many times as you can: "I am in control and I am not going to watch another garbage porn video or look at p-subs. I'm too strong to give in." See if that helps. A bit of anger can help sometimes.

    Thank you all for the support, love you guys.

    I used to have sex with girls (gf’s and casually) but now I’m going to wait for marriage (God Willing)

    so I need help with that

    giving up sex is one thing but giving up sex and PMO is like stopping all sexual release completely..that’s the issue I’m facing

    Believe me if I tell you that this sexual energy will be transformed in energy which will make you unbelievably sharp and productive. You won't believe it until you have felt it. You do not need a lot of sleep and your concentration level will be unbelievable. If you workout the pysical results will also be amazing. The unreleased sexual energy will not just disappear like magic, it will be transformed in other kinds of energy which will help you to accomplish a lot in your life.

    I have a girlfriend right now so I am getting regular sex and regular release of sexual energy but when I don't because my gf is on vacation or something else, I feel so much more energetic and productive!
