    This exemplifies so perfectly how I feel right now in my PMO journey. Just replace the concept of lifting weights with NoFap. I feel tired...liking I'm missing out on something. Reaching my goals has not felt as good as I thought it would. I'm numb...all I can do is just press on. I have no choice. I'm sorry if this is discouraging to some, but I think it is a very moving video and poem

    This is a very powerful piece to watch. I do not find it discouraging, yet it saddens me that you do not feel uplifted by your momentous achievements in eradicating porn and masturbation permanently from your life. :(

    I fully understand the many reasons for your choice about long-time celibacy (which I share). Nevertheless, I feel you need to acknowledge something of which you have not spoken. Before a woman was created, God observed that it was not good for a man to be on his own. God didn't simply provide the opposite sex to hang out with him so he had some association. He created a sexual partner for him - a compliment of his own needs in every way.

    That is why, I sort of understand about the prone masturbation technique. You can immerse yourself in it I suppose, and feel that you thrusting into your woman and are really making love to her. The hand technique is much more about just getting the nice bit at the end. So, what you are missing is natural, but you seem to scared to acknowledge it. That is why your victories seem hollow.

    You are definitely correct. The relationship between a man and a woman is completely normal. Yet, I am not normal.

    Maybe you are right about the prone masturbation, though it may just be because that's the way I learned.

    You make me out to be a better man then I am IGY. I think I'm quite selfish, I don't know if I really crave that relationship at all.
