THE DUELS OF NOFAP: NO PMO TOURNAMENT | OPEN FOR ALL

Checking in. Let's have a clean May!

 

@KingPiece checking in.

 

I passed

Count me in

I fantasized about intimate sexual thoughts rather than porn

 

Today was kind of a piss off towards the end because I did a really bad job of talking to this girl and my coworker did a much better job and I guess I felt kinda jealous, but I gotta remember that I've built myself a brain that is no good at interfacing with women and probably doesn't even see a need to when porn is so much simpler. I've been learning about neuroplasticity again recently as I have almost nothing to do at work these days so I just listen to audiobooks. It's a good reminder that I can build a better brain.

@Pangolyn I'll deliver a better fight this time, I promise! I want to aim for 100 days, but I need to fully believe I can do it.

 

@Talz, glad to hear. We will duel til the end of time... 100 days is also for me the goal, that I want to reach as next step.

I'm checking in, day 7 of our duel. The first week is done.

On this site there's a majority that says you have to cut out all thoughts that can be sexually triggering. A minority that says, no, not cut out, learn how to deal with it without acting out.
Which is your party?

 

Checking in.

I'm feeling well; high blood levels of sass so far seems to have no adverse side effects. But reading your posts you seem to have slight sass deficiency, have you ever considered taking sassamins to supplement your diet?
There are various ways how to supplement with sassamins, for example you could consume them orally or inject them, but since we are on nofap that probably would not be appropriate... Alternatively, you could take supplements that increase your natural sass production; I've heard that the Horny Goat Weed is a good supplement to increase the natural levels of sass!

 

@Ūruz are you American? Spanish? Have you studied? Religious?
Just curious

 

@Hero: HOPE sorry bud, forgot to check in

CULTIVATING INDIFFERENCE WHERE OTHERS GROW PASSION
“Of all the things that are, some are good, others bad, and yet others indifferent. The good are virtues and all that share in them; the bad are the vices and all that indulge them; the indifferent lie in between virtue and vice and include wealth, health, life, death, pleasure, and pain.” —EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 2.19.12b–13

Imagine the power you’d have in your life and relationships if all the things that trouble everyone else—how thin they are, how much money they have, how long they have left to live, how they will die— didn’t matter so much.
What if, where others were upset, envious, excited, possessive, or greedy, you were objective, calm, and clearheaded? Can you envision that? Imagine what it would do for your relationships at work, or for your love life, or your friendships.

Seneca was an incredibly wealthy, even famous, man—yet he was a Stoic. He had many material things, yet, as the Stoics say, he was also indifferent to them. He enjoyed them while they were there, but he accepted that they might someday disappear. What a better attitude than desperately craving more or fearfully dreading losing even one penny. Indifference is solid middle ground. It’s not about avoidance or shunning, but rather not giving any possible outcome more power or preference than is appropriate. This not easy to do, certainly, but if you could manage, how much more relaxed would you be?

 

I'm more in the second camp as the first dosen't seem very realistic to me.

 

I will for sure!

 

LOL. This made me chuckle quite a bit, thanks for that. Seems I need to be buying my supplements from a different shop .

 

@ZenMode
Check in
I dreamed about relationships, and it finally dawned on me that at some point or another, intimate sex has been disassociated with porn for a while now but I still need to work on cutting off PMO as a hobby or something I do when I'm bored/stressed/anxious
