Things to do instead of fapping

In general, exercise, socializing, time in nature and meditation are some of the most tried-and-true methods of coping. You might like this guy's vids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4ujctdYJnQ

For me, the whole sexual energy is a creative energy.

So in order to not waste it on fapping, I seek to direct it in other (and more) creative directions.
The obvious one being towards things that, one way or another, can lead me to meet more (exciting) women. Or have more amazing interactions with the one I am seeing at the time.

Another thing is to go extrovert. Or work the body physically to feel better. Sort of "express masculinity" physically, that way.

(I do NOT watch TV or play computer games. That does not extrovert me. It does not create anything or allow me to channel my energy physically either).

 

Exercise. Exhaust your body.

Go outside and be with people.

If the urge is getting strong leave the house.

Maybe take a Benadryl if it's night and leaving the house isn't practical but I would try exercise before that.

 

One of my biggest challenges is when the urge hits me or has been there all day and I am already in bed trying to fall asleep. What to do? What to do?

 

Buy a kettlebell and do some exercise. You can exhaust yourself in 15 min.

Or if your neighborhood allows go out for 20 min of sprinting.

 

I do math. Mostly Khan Academy Stuff. I find working on problems that have solutions to be rewarding.

 

Sometimes it helps just to leave. Go anywhere, just as long as it gets you out of your house.

 

Being in public always helps
