***Monk Mode 2016***

Hey! I want YOU to Monk Mode!​

This is the official Monk Mode 2016 thread. I have prepared you an ultimative guide to your success in Monk Mode. But: What is Monk Mode? Monk Mode is one of the NoFap variations on the internet (besides Easy Mode (no Porn) and Hard Mode (no Porn, Orgasm and Masturbation). In addition, Monk Mode includes no fantasizing and no checking out.

How to succeed?

Before the streak
You need to feel shame. Tell a female friend of you, that you are addicted to Porn. By telling this, you tell her practically that you treat women as sex objects. Thus, you will feel shame because of the self-reflection. Whenever you talk to this person again, think of the shame you felt (and of your whole confession in general).

At the beginning of the streak
Now, you need to stop. Don't go to war with your addiction, fool the addiction by telling "I am gonna stop PMO for one week". You pseudo-cooperate with your addiction, your whole situation becomes easier. And then, after a week, you tell "I am gonna stop PMO for one week further" to yourself again.
An alternative is to ask yourself "What is the highest number I could do on NoFap?". So you will be motivated to prove yourself with trying to make a personal record.

During the streak
You have to look on the great picture: You PMO because you are an egoist, you think of your own pleasure. Think of others instead, of spending time together, of giving love to your family and the whole world. Seek humor: You never can be horny when you laugh out loud.
Think about the person you want to become: Just be this person. "Fake it till you make it".
Also: Stay busy! Be honest: You relapse not because you are horny but because you have time to it!

When having an urge
Accept it! Don't fight it! It's like suppressing thoughts: You will always lose.
When the urge doesn't go away: Think about giving love to the world and your family as I've written.
When this doesn't help: Imagine as disgusting as possible people jerking off to porn. When you relapse, you become one of those!
When this doesn't help: Smile! It magically helps, when you smile!
When this doesn't help: Go deeply into your mind (visualize yourself having an urge who visualize yourself having an urge).

Remember: Never ever take NoFap too emotionally! Because the more emotionally engaged you are into NoFap, the greater the post-fap depression. Instead, see NoFap like a supplement: It is a supplement to your self-improvement! But: Don't use this mindset to relapse whenever you want!

With helpful advices though

 

Looking at girls you wanna f*ck.

IMO yes. The purpose of Monk Mode is simply to avoid every single possible trigger to let your brain fully rebooting without any disturbances.

 

Why? You said that you have something like YouTube feeds. To be honest: I don't really know their function (yep, I am a complete noob). Could you explain me why do you use YouTube feeds? I mean do you really have to use the YouTube feeds?

 

So... 17 guys are trying Monk Mode... It's 2016 in the whole world now, so everyone, who wanted to sign up, has signed up...

 

For now, it appears to be easy for me. I must watch TV with my eyes closed because of the triggers in the ads and stuff but it's okay, at least I don't get triggered.

 

IMO checking out means looking sexualy. We would all fail if we ever time we just saw an attractive girl we relapsed. "Checking out" means you do more than just see them. You look at them in a sexual way instead of looking at them as a person. Look at and treat woman as people with no sexual intent and you will avoid triggering. It may mean you avoid provocative pictures, but as long as you are using tutorials for info and not eye candy you should be okay if you are careful
