Methods to stop/prevent fantasizing

Brilliant advice Saserman
What helps me is when the environment around me is clean, I tend to have better control over my thoughts...don't know why...maybe its because I'm bit of a neat freak and a clean environment makes ME feel clean
Another thing is to attack the root of the problem head on...If you're always gawking at women..AVERT YOUR EYES! from my experience...It always starts from the look...the days I control my gaze are the days I have better control over my thoughts....

Changing your company of friends:- If you hang around people who have low standards ( boast about viewing porn, crappy ambitions in life etc) chances are you will be affected....Find better company...people who are pushing you to new heights...

Keep a picture of a dear friend/daughter/loved one close by or an inspiring quote that will help your resolve to keep going further...

I think its vital we change our perception of women.....THEY ARE NOT SEX OBJECTS,PIECES OF FLESH....years of viewing porn have distorted our view of women.....they are also human beings...lest we forget.

And most importantly is support from this amazing community...Just knowing that there are thousands of people going tthrough erxactly the same thing as we are, is a wonderful and powerful tool that I personally now have after just discovering it today...It feels amazing and I hope we all support each other and constantly remind each other that there is hope at the end of this fake paradise....

 

Fantasizing is my weak spot, but since the first thirty days of my Reboot, it has never led to me touching my penis for an extended period of time. Not once.

The reason, I think, is I found a totally uncrushable affirmation I always find recourse in. Do you know that scene from Casino Royale where James Bond is being interrogated and tortured? Bond literally seems like he gives in, shocking the audience, but it turns out he was just faking for a goof, after which he says, with absolute conviction (and a little bit of mocking humour), "You know there is no way I am going to tell you that password..."

I imagine that scene, except the topic is fapping. "Now you know there is no way I am going to fap right now. Forget it. Hahaha!" If I visualize that level of self-control, my urges to give in can be screamingly torturous, but fat chance: I will never ever yield, no fucking way.

 

I think that's brilliant GenuineSexualHealing!! Thank You.
Learning about how others are able to curb this desire is vital and always beneficial as it allows me to continually build by arsenal of weapons against this beast of an enemy.....me...lol

 

I jog around my room to take my mind off other things

 

Distractions help me, and if necessary, I get up and get out of my room and do something to take my mind off of sex and keep me from masturbating. The best distractions I have are interesting and important news articles, especially a slew of them that I can read back to back. My mind just slips off of sex when I'm engrossed reading about a giant rat found in Sweden, the landslide in the U.S., Italian sign language, etc. Or even when I'm busy reading everyone's posts at NoFap.

 

The best thing I can do is imagine my favorite sport, I just imagine myself playing basketball and even pretend I'm playing in the nba and it gets my mind right off it. Because basketball was my first love I get caught up thinking about basketball to a point of making my fat ass get up and go out to shoot some hoops. Exercise is the best distraction because it will help with your health as well
