I failed 80% of my challenge, but I'm still proud of myself.

    Hi,

    I set up a challenge for a 14 day PMO. I went to the club a few days before and met a few ladies got a few numbers. The next day I kept fantasizing about them and couldn't get my mind off of them.

    Then it that's when it started to go down hill.

    I wasn't really in the need to satisfy myself it was more of a want.

    I started rationalizing to myself "Well one stroke isn't going to kill you and besides you're not watching porn. You're just thinking about the girls you met."

    So I edged for a minute and honestly my penis was the hardest it's ever been. I was thinking to myself this nofap really works!!! I stopped after that.

    But then the next day....

    One edge session led to two.

    And then the next day...

    I fell sick and I was home all day (usually going out either to work or something else keeping busy helps out a lot). And I couldn't keep my mind off of edging. I edged about 3 times and told myself "you're torturing yourself." So I decided to just get it over with.

    I jerked off to orgasm without porn and man was it a relief.

    Then 20 minutes later I decided to jerk off to porn and my penis was still hard as rock and my orgasm was still amazing???

    Then I did it again and hour later and my penis was still going and my orgasm was still powerful?

    Anyways yes I failed but i've never gone this long without porn or orgasm(12 days).

    Now that I have the reference experience to go that long i'm going to increase my PMO endurance little by little and not beat myself over it.

    I'm going to contribute and ask for more support on the forums (something that I didn't do as much prior).

    Thanks for listening...

    Almost same story with me. I went to see my girlfriend yesterday, after a long time( may be a month or so). Had a great time, finally ejaculated. Mastarbated just now today morning as I was just a little desperate. Now back to nofap. But it felt great, now do I need to reset my counter?

    @babbaesher Yes you need to reset whenever you break.

    Well, any progress is progress. It's 12 steps foward and one step back. Just get back on and fight again!
     
  5. Great job. Pick yourself back up and hop back on the NoPMO train. Sorry to hear about the end of your streak though.

    Hi,

    Just an encouragement... failing 80% is better than failing 90% or 100%! You are wise to try to increase your PMO endurance little by little, every victory you gain strengthens you for the next one.

    Stay strong,

    Sunshine99

    does getting intimate with my girlfriend will also considered as PMO? Basically does having orgasm while having sex, is there any problem with that?
