energy

Hey, I've been practicing for about 10 years now. I know that my best times were when I suppressed all solo sexual acts (even in thoughts) for the longest periods. Managed a one year streak even and if I'm here it's also telling. The fight is never truly won until the end. That's where I'm the...

After maintaining 100 days of abstinence from masturbation, I did encounter moments where I watched nude content but did not engage in masturbation. However, in the first 10 days of the new year, I masturbated twice. I've identified that conversations about sex, girls, and nude content with my...

How do you do it ?

My brothers. Wanted to bring some spiritual info to the NoFap. Esoteric teachings (videos on continued pages) on semen retention highlight the belief that conserving sexual energy can enhance one's intuition, personal magnetism, and overall vitality. These ideas, rooted in various...

I introduce myself, I am a 25 year old, I had already done the restart in certain long periods of time but sometimes I fall like any other person on this path. If you are interested in the topics I am going to address, follow the publications I will make, it is about: use the body The nature of...

You will not reap the ''benefits'' or ''superpowers'' if you don't do a dopamine detox. Yeah, you heard me right. I'm not saying you should quit everything that gives you pleasure altogether. The process need to be gradative. I realized that only abstaining from PMO was not enough to make me...

I am 18 days into abstaining from porn. I've been in this position two times prior. I've gone through abstaining, but this flaming hot energy inside me begins burning inside me. I get volatile and angry, sometimes it's a triggering memory, sometimes it's thin air. I just start boiling inside. I...

I've always had sleep problems, but they got worse when I started nofap. Every day I woke up a few hours earlier than planned. For some time everything was fine. I am currently in the fourth month of nofap and I have started waking up earlier again. I sleep for 4 hours, the slightest noise wakes...

Hello everyone I'm 16, I have been doing full semen retention for 9-10 months now. In the first months I actually got a lot of energy but wasn't practising "transmutation exercises of any type". Currently with over 9+ months of semen retention (only had 1 wet dream like 2 months ago), I feel...

I want to discuss the issue of uptight women. I see this problem a lot in these journals and I don't find this topic discussed openly, so here we go. It's important for a recovering porn addicted man to choose wisely the woman he will be with. Because what then, if you choose someone who can't...

So i just graduated from High School and i didnt apply for college, so either i need to find a job, or do something better. And to be honest, i dont want to junp right in to work. I can find a job of course, but my potential is so much greater than working for 18$/hour. I am one human out of 7...

I started to notice a pattern when I use PMO. After one early morning of PMO, I drive to work and my client is 20 minutes late. I call and they tell me they forgot. Before I go to my second job the next day, I get an email about an afternoon cancelation the night before. When I show up for just...

Found this blog on approaching women. Interesting read but it's from 2010. Key takeaways I got: - Good mindset and energy are necessary before even trying to approach. I'm guilty of this. Approaching women when I wasn't happy with my life and was just lonely. Seemed to make it worse. And...

Can anyone tell me how can I transfer my energy from 'root chakra' to 'crown chakra' during semen retention?

Current streak: 477 days no PMO, semen retention 48 days no sex, I had non ejacualtory sex during the streak which if done right with the right girl can give you lots of energy. One of the main reasons I don’t masturbate is that when I do I feel I’ve been defeated by lust, I lose my face to...

Hello guys! I'm here with a interested topic to discuss. I did great for a month expect two night falls and unfortunately failed on 33 days streak because of my stupid friend. I noticed clear positive changes in physical, mental health. Like strength and energy in body and clear active mind. My...

To begin with, I have several questions, because I have several problems. I have been masturbating almost every day for 8 years now. Normally once a day and in more extreme cases 3 times. Since I was 10 years old. I wanted to know if this can cause a huge loss of energy? A loss of...

You know how while your streak grows, your libido grows too and more things start arousing you.. Lets find solutions to not allow that volcano of energy to erupt. My 1 cent is that I should avoid looking at all women on the street and in public sexually and cut all sexual thoughts as soon as...

Potent males are the opposite of impotent males. Thus I've coined the new term for the energy we salvage via nofap. Potent energy. (someone might have used this term before, if so, all similarities are accidental) Think about the title, potent energy. The semen we waste has the capability of...

So I keep watching videos and hearing people say that the 3-4 day mark is when you feel the worst and have the most urges. Though, despite it being true I had many urges throughout that time, I was surprisingly able to jump straight out of bed and felt like getting more done than I ever had. I...

I'm going to abstain from gluten for a while, starting from tomorrow. I guess that I should dedicate one paragraph to giving reasons why I'm doing this whilst trying to convince you doing the same, but I'll keep it short. Gluten can impede your intestines from absorbing the essential minerals...

Intro My name is Franz, I'm 21 and I'm from germany. I started with NoFap when I was 18 after roughly 5 years of PMO. In retroperspective this probably hindered my sexual developement pretty hard. Circumstances 1. At the beginning of the pandemic and the lockdowns I was going strong with a high...

This is a question iv been thinking about for some time. When we masturbate we are loosing energy, we see the pure white liquid and we feel drained. According to the 1st law of thermodynamics energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. When we have sex...

lt is not our fault if we fell into PMO. It is the system that wants everyone addicted to something, to be weak and thus easy to control. But often happens some people once they start to hit the road of enlightment they start with those ridiculous speeches about women trying to steal their seed...

Ever experienced something in the earlier days that contributed to the disbelief in the concept of coincidence? Many people think that luck is something that is purely random, unpredictable and difficult to control. That is because they do not know what luck really is. When you are able to know...

Hi everyone! I feel sorry to say that I masturbated 3 times to porn today morning, losing my 70 days streak of No PMO. I feel like I'm drained off all of my energy. I don't have the capacity to think or concentrate on anything properly now, and my physical energy is also diminished to a great...

I don't know if there are any Ray Peat followers in this forum but I just wanted to link this podcast() by Danny Roddy & haidut discussing the physiological effects of addiction! It's really interesting, the two discuss: -possible physiological causes of addiction -the role that stress hormones...

I'm currently on 3 days of nofap. I've had streaks of 30 days, but for whatever reason, I broke them off. However, right now I stayed up all night because I could not sleep and I had insane focus the day before. What I do not understand is why I am feeling insane focus on just 2 days of nofap...

hi, If anybody come across any Chakra, meditation, taoist or any other technique to transmute sexual energy , please share. It would be great help for many people. 1. Mantak chia's 'sharpen your knife' technique was useful for me to pass 60 days 2. After 60 days, i find that i am able to do...

This is an idea I've been entertaining for a while. I have noticed that after overcoming strong urges, not only I feel relief but I feel like I have made some massive progress. Sometimes while going through I rough patch, certain triggers will come up as if some omnipotent asshole was trying to...

Hey guys I've been having some issues these last few days. I'm on day 25 of no pmo and my sexual energy is increasing and more difficult to manage. I don't believe I've had any wet dreams yet and haven't had any sex. I'm horny all the time. It's starting to affect my work and other aspects of my...

In the past few months I started climbing, I've never been much of an athletic guy but I'm really digging it. With a recent energy boost (probably due to my current streak, longest one since I was a kid) I'm thinking of branching out towards other dinamic activities. I was thinking about...

Hi guys, I am new to the nofap community and i wanted to know what would it do for me if i stopped watching porn and masturbation, the only reason I am here is because i have several problems like... 1. lack of energy every day + i can't focus and commit to my everyday goals 2. anxiety, repeated...

Hey Guys, Just wanted to share with you that I noticed 2 things since starting nofap. #1. It gets easier. Since I have now had practice and experience with going on streaks of no porn or masterbation and eventually no edging, its gotten much easier to go longer and longer. #2. The “super...

Hey, I'm 21 years old and rather addicted searching for not yet seen porn, rather than plain watching porn for the sake of watching and masturbating. I developed a not too usual fetish (but also not a hardly probable, seldom one) in childhood. I'm not trying to get rid of it anymore, as...

I'm gonna say that I've been without PMO for almost 10 days now and I'm starting to feel a few of the benefits. Everytime I was on PM, I never really had the will nor energy to do whatever it is I needed to do at the time (ie show up to work) or go for that hour and a half jog or even approach...

It should come as no surprise that fapping drains you of your precious energy. Based on my own experiences, it would be hard for me not to stutter or mumble my words in the first 3 days after a relapse. Yesterday I had a presentation. My colleagues had a hard time understanding what I was...

My story, I first saw some soft porn at 10 years of age. Experimented in my youth with boys and girls, had my first encounters with relationships from 17 onwards.

Just a small list, maybe you have some and want to share :) I take these daily, some need to cycled on and off like cacao, which I do - Honey - Coconut oil (virgin (exactly the same as "extra-virgin"), cold-pressed and organic) - Peanut butter - Raw cacao powder (nibbles work as well) - Ghee...

Background: I'm 23, suffered from PIED for roughly 1 year and before discovering NoFap this year I was PMOing almost daily since I was about 12. This week I achieved 50+ days of no PMO and am still going strong. I've learned and gained a lot throughout my NoFap journey so far and don't plan on...

Hey guys i have been doing NoFap on and off for the past year and this time im trying to discipline myself for the better. so a little experimentation that i had (Unexpectedly) is before i started Nofap (10th Day now) compared to the one before i relapsed, (15 days), i had more focus, more...

Hi All, I have been clean (No PMO) for 32 days as on today, i.e 13th sept 2019. My experience is below. I have categorised the benefits into 3 categories, i.e Physical Appearance and Voice, Mind and Energy, Erectile Health and Sexuality. I cover by experience with the above over 3 time...

So I made it to 43 days, but I'm really confused about a lot of things. Here's a general breakdown of what I've experienced so far: Day 1 - 5 - Lot of temptation and urges. Day 5 - 14 - Super powers! I had all of the amazing benefits everyone talks about like extreme energy, more brain power...

Hi, I'm a teen on day 32 of NF. I was just wondering if loss of morning wood is normal? When I started, I felt really motivated and energetic, and had morning wood almost every day. Now I rarely get morning wood, and I feel much more tired and less motivated than usual. I still have occasional...

So as far as the title for this thread goes. I am wondering if it is even possible to unlock you're Hidden Potential. This relates to a Japanese animation called DragonballZ as achieving a sense of heightened awareness and limited energy. I'm not sure how to describe it more.. I guess it is...

Each one of has has a different way to go through in this journey of Nofap. In our healing we can recognize similar patterns, also similar benefits and so on.Now l am at 42 days hard mode. Not refapsed, not edging. Not peeking. But tempted. When it comes to Flatlining l am experiencing something...

Ok so a few months ago I found out about NoFap and im not sure if it worked. But at the start of the Summer i started running a 5k every two days soon i started an 8k every two days. I am not joking and being totally serious when I say LISTEN UP Fapstronauts. The energy boost that you alegedly...

Do people with 1, 2+ year streaks still experience NoFap benefits. Or does it kind of diminish. Because my mind is telling me how like: its better to relapse once every 3 months so you are experience benefits again and again and it wont diminish. Maybe my brain is making excuses to relapse...

Hello everyone, I was introduced to porn by a so-called "friend" (if he was, he would not have introduced me to porn). There was a rush of dopamine in my brain and the feeling was, 'Yes, this is it.' This was 11 years ago. Since then I was addicted to PORN. It ruined most of the things. I wanted...

Hello friends, today i decided to join NoFap forum because i totally agree with it. I wouldn't say anything if i didn't experienced myself. First i want to say i had a streak of about 110 days, then i released and i am ashamed myself. I released because a girl invited me to her house and i was...

I have officially been off porn for 12 days and it has been the best 12 days of my entire life. I am experiencing: -Unconditional happiness -Very fast muscle gain / fat loss -Complete loss of anxiety -Euphoria that I can physically feel -Non-stop energy & massive work capacity -Insane...

First of all, many of us are here because they want to overcome porn addiction and to have more energy. So Nofap makes sense - our dopamine and testosterone levels normalizes and it has a lot of other benefits we all know. But there's a problem, especially for those of us who weren't that much...

I thought I would share sth that has worked for me incredibly well, my first time starting Nofap I made a bet with my friend over money, the bet was to go 3 months with no PMO, it was a success, the only success I had for about a whole year after that, I used to do 1hr meditation everyday and it...

Hey, I've seen a fair bit of stuff going on lately about how good meditation is on NoFap and how it translates sexual energy or some shit. I don't know how to meditate, do I close my eyes and imagine stuff, what's the most effective way of mediating on NoFap?

Here goes my story: I'm schizophrenic. I take medication but angry, mocking, cruel voices are still there all the time and the truth is, I can't bring myself to believe they're not real. I also have chronic depression which brings suicidal thoughts and a crushed, awful feeling of pain and...

Hello guys! Im 19 years old i have been on my rebooting process since like 5 months first streak was 24 days, second was 30 and now im at day 90 of my third streak well i had some benefits at the begging but after like day 40-50 i started feeling like shit im too weak, no energy, anxious...

So...update. Today is the 2nd day of NoFap and I felt the urge to just watch porn. it's only been 24 hours and I already feel the sudden urge. But...I kept my nerve today. Today was an interesting day. I woke up early, and went for a walk for an hour while listening to motivational speeches by...

I just stumbled across this site. Thought I would share a quick overview of my experience and where I am at right now. This will include controversial anecdotes from my personal experience that have not been "scientifically proven". The only proof is from my own subjective experience...

This thread is for everybody to share WHY it's better to abstain and stay off PMO, instead of doing it again... Construct your answer in the way you feel like it, as long as it's not too gross or triggering. Repetition may occur, but every answer remains unique in its energy of support. So...

I started to realize that video games are a bad hobby and are actually a symptom for having no other problems or procrastinating your real problems. I stopped them for good, i started to play them if i feel too lonely. So i just do a walk instead of play a game. At night yesterday i still felt...

hi Im new here, and i need to admit, im on the 4th day, no sex, NoFap, no porn. Right now its 06:08am and im overflowing with energy. Even though i was just working for 8 hours through the night. I have the immense urge to have sex or to fap, but without porn. Im going out, im running miles...

My name is monkey mode and since events that transpired on January 3rd of this year, I have been fully dedicated to self improvement and have fully changed the course of my life. I went from being out of shape, lazy, and unhappy, to what I can only describe as the road to self transcendence...

Hi guys! A few days ago I came across NoFap on Youtube and a ton of convincing arguments and scientific informations later, I decided to stop porn and masturbation for the next days. I am totally overwhelmed by all this information about NoFap! There are so many really sad stories related to...

Today I figured it all out. For years I've been wondering how sex transmutation worked, I even published a book on the topic last year. But still, something was missing. How exactly did one go beyond the base nature of sex or its substitute activities (a.k.a transcend or transmute)? How did one...

Hey guys, As a newcomer, 2 weeks in, I've stayed strong with no relapse and I am definitely changing. My aura is different, I can feel it. People behave differently around me, tons of energy (too much), everything said to happen is happening and I love it. That said, it's really hitting me the...

Hi everyone, I'm ashamed of writing such a message but I guess I have to. I have been masturbating since I was a kid, and it has ruined my life. I have no energy at all. I also have problems with my memory and immune system. I can't ejaculate for one time without feeling tired for days. My...

I've been practicing the art of "ejaculating up the spine" to rejuvenate myself with my sexual energy rather than waste it (David Deida - The Way of the Superior Man). Today I felt a tight buzzing all over my body during the practice, but then I had tightness in both my asshole & my lips for...

Experienced people probably know this, but I realised the following recently - in last 1 to 2 years of my 15+ year old struggle against PMO: Cause 1: Majority of my relapses started with "anxiousness/frustration in other areas of work/life", rather than temptations. Basically using PMO as...

I struggled with urges. I´ve got big urges. But what is urge it is a desire to DO something (fapping). It an energy inside of us which we can or have to use. It is sexual energy. And an urge is like strong flash of this energy. I think an urge we can use as a fuel to do something. When we PMO...

The question is pretty simple but I'll explain in deeper. There is a lot of science with many different interpretations going around out there. Like the 7 days testosterone spike or the androgen receptors reduction in rats and way more other stuff. But it basically leads to nothing and gives no...

Every time you login into NOFAP, post three things you are grateful for, in this thread. It doesn't have to be a big deals, it can be simple things.That is fine. The goal is to actively think about things that are good in your life, instead of brooding on all negative things and make life dull...

I'm going to make this short because I'm going to eat soon, but I've only begun to regularly utilize this site, and I don't know about the rest of you but it's almost the anti-porn equivalent of what I should be investing my obsession and time into. I wish this to become a healthy obsession, or...

Hi advanced Fapstronauts! So, basically, after reaching my goal of 100 days streak, i felt like i should give it a try and see where i am with ejaculation, and sex in general, because i feel like i should have a wife and not be single. I hoped to see improvement with my post ejaculatory issues. Of...

So everything is in the title! I reached 100 days of No ejaculation whatsoever. I will share with you a few tricks and knowledge gathered. So first of all i don't think that i missed anything sexually. I only had one opportunity those last 3 months, some older girl that seemed interested and i...

Hi All, I'm new to NoFap and wanted to know on the pitfalls of masturbating, as I'm trying to move my energies upwards ! I really would love any advice on how this effects effects me! Personally, I feel a slight reduction of energy! But could someone elucidate more on this? Anything more on...

Hi all, I am posting a link here that deals with not just PMO tips but beyond that, dealing various aspects. Hope you will find it extremely useful. Just check out the sub topics and read whatever suits you. Happy NOFAP.... :) Excerpt from the link here " So, earth, air, water, ether—all...

This streak has been my longest and most successful so far. Really experiencing the new superpowers. I am a student who lives in hostel in the college campus. Never used to interact with girls. Now suddenly a new confidence, a new person inside me has taken control, I feel astonished by my own...

Dear all, I said to myself I would stop watching porn a week ago as an experiment. I challenged my best friend to join me and he refused (!)... and yesterday, guess what, discovered NoFap! I am so glad you all exist. I thought I was weird and alone to experiment with ditching porn. I realized it...

Hey all. I'm a lapsed musician trying to get back into playing, recording and gigging after ten years of depression. I'm realizing PMO has a huge impact on my mood, motivation and energy level and I'm finding it hard to stay the nofap course. What I want is to transmute my sex energy (the...

When I started NoFap (about 17 days ago), I got a surge of life for the first week that honestly put me on cloud 9. I felt confident, vibrant, no anxieties or stress, I woke up early, no tiredness whatsoever through out the day. I was 'High Energy' as Donald Trump would say. Fantastic. But since...

Here we go ! Let's take 25 minutes to write about that first no P experience with you my wonderful fapstronauts ! First of all, thank you to be there and to build that energy. There's something great here. 40 days without any naughty P my friends \o/ For a 40 years old man, without a girl...

Hi. I have created an excel sheet to keep track of my benefits. My current goal is to reach 180 days. Hopefully :) I just signed up..so my PMO counter is a week behind. First week : 1. Energy Increase 2. Eyes are OK. 3. Erections were hard.. i.e.Morning woods :) 4. Little bit of clear mind...

Hello guys! What is the 30-DAYS PLANK CHALLENGE ? The challenge consists in holding the plank position everyday, for some seconds, for 30 consecutive days. I recommend to have a look at some fitness videos on the correct plank position to hold. This exercise strengthens your core, lower back...

Its only been 7 days since I quit PMO and ejaculation and I am already experiencing so many benefits that I would like to officially apologize to my body for treating it so poorly over the years. My body was always trying hard to make me better, but I kept draining it of precious energy and...

11 WEEKS into NoFap (Day 78). I’ve got myself into the routine of doing things more often. Once a week, I do some voluntary work. Everyday, I walk my dog for two or three miles, read a book, write in my journal and have a cold bath. Once or twice a week, I usually pop out to a coffee shop. To...

There are many opinions on supplements around the web. Its really hard to narrow down on which ones to take or even if any is needed. It would be nice if everyone can list: 1)Supplements you take 2)Reputable scientific studies/articles published that convinced you on that supplement 3) Your...

I'm currently reading this book called 'Brain Gain' recommended to me by a friend, and it's just mind blowing! I never knew the benefits of semen retention and the amazing things it can do. It's amazing to see how a lot of great philosophers from all parts of the word were actually celibate and...

My favorite cereal low key has to be Corn Flakes. It goes great with a little bit of sugar and it's not a bad breakfast cereal. I also have a thing for the possessed green rooster mascot. Don't tell nobody tho. :emoji_zipper_mouth: Although Corn Flakes doesn't taste the best to me. The best...

I'm looking for a couple of volunteers to help release their porn issues, I am developing a process, technique and program which will give the users new insight and awareness to why the became addicted in the first place. It;s true that certain negative qualities or pre-dispositions can run in...

Hey fellow self-improvers. I haven't been on the site for a while, and wanted to post an update on what I've learned over these last four months or so since beginning Nofap. Let me begin by saying that my counter at approx 130 days comes with an asterisk. I've glanced at porn three times since...

So this weird, I was on a 6 day streak, unfortunately I broke it and relapsed, jerked off to porn twice. Usually I would be so tired, fatigued, feeling depressed and shitty, regretting what I had just done. But this time was so different, I ejaculated and still had energy and motivation. I went...

My longest ever streak has been just 2 weeks. Although it isn't the best streak I was amazed at how much benefits I got from managing to abstain. I have struggled with this addiction since I was 11 years old, masturbating & watching porn almost everyday. As I am a heavy user of porn and fapping...

This is my day 4 and I have noticed that I'm having quite a bit of insomnia and overall a ton more energy. I went from M about 10x a day and 2 of my last four nights, I have only slept 2-4 hours and then when I go to exercise at 5:30 AM I am full of energy and I have had some of the best lifts...

I had a reasonably productive morning but come the morning I felt very tired. Does anyone how to have more energy in the afternoon?

General background. Im 24 years old and have been masturbating to pornography at least once a day for the last 10 years. I found my brothers pornography collection very young, around 8 years old but probably started masturbating soon after that, as I got into my early teens it became far more...

Hi everyone! Ive decided to stop watching porn too. So glad to be hear, the community seems great! Ive been watching porn since i was 12, but saw it the first time when i was 10. And it was hentai porn to boot, so a nice little fetish also started there. Anyway Pretty much sums up my...

Hi! I'm a 26 year old gay male in the US and I've been failing at nofap for a couple of years. I need help. The sexual function isn't where it should be at my age. The feeling of continuing to do something I intend not to do (PMO) is worrisome. I want more control. I want to have more energy...

So I just had an interesting experience. I'm finishing Day 6 and I've noticed a spike in energy levels for sure. It's been a little difficult to handle since I wasn't sure what to do with it at first. I decided to dive into the study of quantum mechanics since it's something I'm really into...

Hey nofapsters! Today is a realy special day beacuse im on day 50! Wow.. never tought i could make this far after huge urges hitted me hard, haha. So i started nofap 1 month and 20 days ago i havent watched porn since then and for fapping, i havent fapped like 65 days. I want to talk about some...

The longest streak I had without PMO in my 8 year porn addiction since the age of 13 was last year, it was only around 50 days. But man oh man even those 50 days I felt major benefits, here is a list of some of the benefits I experienced during that period: - Way more confidence, this just...
