    Hello guys.

    This is a question to the old gods and kings of NoFap. The people who've made it.

    I guess I should start with the issue. On my first attempt of NoFap, I got to day 52. Which is now looking more and more impressive considering I've not been able to get past day 11 and usually relapse between 4 and 5 days. My mind has learned a new trick to get me interested. Instead of my mind requesting I get off, it pushes urges just to view women I'm attracted to, "You don't need to touch yourself, just absorb images and videos".

    So I sit for at least an hour, watching video clip after video clip, looking for that amazing scene until I just push past my resistances and then get feed huge amounts of urges just to get off from it and restart my counter.

    Now I have noticed that when I do this, I don't feel like I've really had a major relapse as far as my physical and mental capacities, (brain fog, social interactions, self motivation, exercise). I do know that if I keep doing this, it is only a matter of time before something breaks, and this is not longer the case.

    I do feel really shitty and do of course understand, YES, I'm not helping myself. I understand that, YES, I need to stop what I'm doing. YES, I understand that I should avoid even viewing anything. This isn't a matter of, go have a cold shower, which doesn't always work. I've eliminated my work around with Internet Explorer, I've put a site blocking on chrome, but it's not hard to get around. And please, K9 is made for children, it blocks the most trivial of websites. The area of study at uni I'm doing requires that I spend a majority amount of my day using the computer and researching the internet.

    I want to know what successful people have done to stay ahead of the mind games their minds will play to rationalize and justify harmful attempts, which then push you over the edge with a wave of urges?

    Did you live by a rule?
    Did you follow some words of truth? (not religious, I mean some real and current, deep and meaningful shit)

    Thank you.

    Well eventhough i am no old deus or king I can say for sure that if used correctly, K9 can be impossible to remove during urges and very helpful.

    In the end it just goes down to one question: Do you want to trade pleasure for everything else.
    PMO feels bodily good, no question asked. We may feel guilty or bad afterwards, but during the "crime", we enjoy it.

    When you are aroused and start losing control it all goes down to that one thing: Do you want to trade your mind, sanity, health, relationships, time, money, your very future for a dosis of fix?

    That girl that gets done in by that pornstar is likely not doing it out of completey free will. It is someone daughter, mother or wife.

    We have to remember that there is more to life than the pleasure of an orgasm.
    It may be part of life, but there is so much more.
    Right now, that pleasure is only so important because of addiction, but it will fade away.

    So ask yourself, even if it feels good, even if you think it may be heaven, do you want to trade your soul for it?
