    This is my first time and I'm already 14 days in. I want to start my streak over, make a journal, etc. I want to release my load so I can stop getting blue balls, have fun, and mainly want to see how relapsing affects me. Should I relapse?

    Do it for 90 days THEN look back and see if you notice any differences.

    Bro your thinking is not clear. Why would you relapse to start your journal? Just start it now. Let me get this strait? You are 14 days in, which is a lot longer than a lot of guys can go and you want to relapse? Dude a relapse is one of the worst feelings possible.. The feeling of hopelessness, shame, despair. Relapses suck bro.. Don't do it?
     
  7. Don't approach this like you're entitled to benefits. Make sure you're not fantasizing, MO'ing and watching any form of porn at all. It works differently for everyone, and the changes are subtle and not magical.

    I'm already stressed out with school and I haven't watched porn in months and never will again so why would one relapse hurt

    Sex is a great way to relief stress. Self sex isn't. Get a girlfriend if you wanna relax.


    If you wanna relapse , go for it , but don't try to rationalize it as if it were a good thing. It's a relapse , why it's bad is pretty self explanatory. You're the meth addict saying that "why would one more dose hurt if it's the last one ?". Wanna guess what he says the next time he finds an excuse to relapse ?

    If you want to do it, do it! If you think you'll enjoy it, have at it. No one can tell you what to do with your own body!

    Ultimately, you are in control of your body and what you do with it, whether you fap, or whether you decide against it. And ultimately, you are the one who decides what is best for you.

  11. Your stress is still gonna to be there after you wanked. But now on top of that stress, you'll have an added failure. Well whatever... if you keep arousing yourself to point of being blue balled, you're pretty much half-assing this Nofap thing anyway.

    You're ruining the game and missing the point of this place.

    It's not a game if he doesn't want to play it anymore.
     
  13. What? I don't think any logic follows from this sentence.

    It's pretty shitty to encourage someone to tiptoe towards the edge when they really don't want to. Clearly this guy is conflicted and doesn't want to relapse, but urges are pointing towards that. Please don't post here if you don't have anything constructive to say.

    It was a play on the term "game" used by InfinityEye.

    I encouraged him because it seemed like he genuinely did want to relapse. If he doesn't, fair enough, keep it up!

    What I said was constructive. You just disagree with it.

    I love how CuriousFem said pretty much the same thing as I did , yet she's getting bashed for it and I'm not.

    So typical of forums like this. I always hated self-righteous hypocrite assholes like that.

    No she did not, and i do not see why are you defending her(?) Here is your post:

    And this is what she(?) wrote:

    See the difference? I mean, you wrote it for the heavens sake and these two quotes are diametrically opposed...

    You're trying to rationalize a bad decision. If you relapse now, why wouldn't you do it again? I'm stressed out by school too. Relapsing will only reduce your stress temporarily, and then you'll have to do it again. And again. If breaking the habit was an easy thing to do, there wouldn't be communities dedicated to helping people with it. Hang in there.

    And yes, I realize how hypocritical this sounds coming from someone who just started doing this, but that doesn't make it any less true. I tried in the past and failed. I know how hard it is.
