    A wanker, not only in its figural sense but also its literal one. Not only an English slang that is thrown out at as some abuse at someone randomly here and there:

    working on being a real man who retain my seed. I'm sick and tired of how PMO rules my life. I'm so over this crap with PMO.

    Don’t let pmo steer your ship. You are the commander. You are the captain. Only you can decide where your ship will go. PMO will crash your ship to pieces if you let it.

    The vast majority of men out there (99%+) end up living lives in mediocrity or slightly above (in best case) since they keep on busting their nuts every other day and hence all their energy, motivation, and drive to become something bigger and better goes right out the window.
    It is impossible becoming your best version (or even close) if you don't practice prolonged semen-retention. Any claims of the opposite is just as delusional as thinking it possible to cut down a thick and sturdy oak-tree with a saw from a child's toolbox.

    Had a few bad days recently , came so close to giving up . I think getting to six months played on my mind , had massive doubts about this path .
    But after reading the comments on this thread I managed to move through that bad patch and I am back on course.
    I am on my way to be enlightened.
    I have not orgasmed , ejaculated , masterbated or watched porn so all is good in my garden again.
    Thank you all as i would have given up if it was not for you all .
    Sending love and hope to you all .☺❤

    I heartily thank @False promise @Homo Deus @Angus McGyver
    and everyone who has contributed to this wonderful thread.
    This is my favourite thread on NoFap.


    I have been thinking a great deal about the consequence of M these days. I Think I’ve had a big realisation very Early in Life. How P industry is exploiting the biological instinct of humans and how many ‘hoomans’ are falling prey to it and curbing the progress of humanity.
    Moreover about M. We all already know how and why its is detrimental, but that is merely according to our current scientific model. What about other forms of Energy that Modern Physics does not know about?? Such thoughts leave me scared and the only solution to this is to not M.

    Today has been very tough for me. I had woken up at night while dreaming of wanting to strongly M. I have been controlling and distracting myself for more than half a day. I meditated for quite a while and I feel much better.

    Glad to hear that we seem to have been making a difference here!
    I remember myself growing up and feeling already in my adolescence years that something was wrong. Society as a whole (school, teachers, media, policy makers, celebrities, many big brands etc) really pushed us all towards sex, lust, desire, masturbation at such an early age (which was demonic in itself) and those of us who felt a huge discomfort with all this sex-frenzy, peer pressure, binge-drinking, degeneration and demoralization in society and were open about it got ostracized, branded as weirdos and of course silenced.
    My sense that something was terribly wrong, pacifying and demotivating about all this was after all not wrong at all. Nowadays, it becomes even more evident that the leaders and warriors of tomorrow are those few men who can manage prolonged semen-retention, despite all the triggers that surround them these days.

    I am myself fighting a battle against Coffee (from which I have abstained for four long days now) and the last days' withdrawal symptoms with headaches, lethargy and cravings have told me that very moderate coffee-drinking is much more potent, dangerous and captivating than I ever thought. My struggle to get completely free from this won't be easy but it is worth pursuing as I have already gotten a glimpse of what life without coffee and caffeine can really be like if I continue.
    Please give me strength on this NoCoff-journey!

    What I start to notice even more now when I have abstained from coffee for a few days (and my mental clarity has increased) is that 99% of men I pass by do bust their nuts quite often because the erratic, insecure way they move and the body language they display tells it all.
    Not to mention that fatigued face, glassy-eyed look, aged skin and poor skin-texture must be a result of orgasming (i.e. busting their nuts) too often. There is no way in h**l that men on prolonged semen-retention can look that stale, beaten and lifeless.

    Fighting any addiction is a battle.
    May you have the necessary awareness to adapt to NoCoff!
    You could just have milk/tea?

    I have no doubt that I can beat that coffee-craving as I had no problem doing so for the first 25 years of life. A cup of tea or glass of mineral water (and sometimes chewing-gum) helps me getting through the craving, without feeling it coming back the next day.
    I don't know what the long time coffee-abstainers think about tea. Is it a reasonable substitute or will the caffeine in it affect you as bad?
    I have at least felt it doesn't affect me nearly as bad as coffee since I don't feel this slight shakiness, glassy-eyedness and irritability at all upon drinking it.

    cut the tea if its green or black tea, it contains caffeine as you pointed out. if u want to quit drinking coffee and drink tea its like wanting to quit smoking cigarettes and instead smoking cigars only..
    i dont really understand why you are making such a big thing out of it. is it really that hard for you?

    Yes, and it is not as easy to quit (cold turkey) as you might think. After all, it is something I have been drinking almost daily for the past six years so it's nothing that's going to be easy. During my fasts nowadays, I am thinking a lot about coffee and the taste of it but if I have a cup of tea, I never feel any cravings for tea.
    Although I will do my best to abstain from coffee altogether, I don't see how a cup of tea once in a while would hurt that much.

    well, bummer. cant help you with that. only thing i can say is; accept that quitting sucks and you will be miserable for a while. but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and you will get there, regardless how long youve been an addict. ive been addicted to worse stuff than coffee and i made it through, and what made me get through was always the thought that i would one day get there and be free. and now i am, and so will you.
    as for tea, its all up to you, and what you really want. i was just saying by the chemicals in it, it would make a lot of sense to abstain from it aswell.

    Everything in moderation--including moderation!

    Or, as the joke goes, quitting smoking doesn't make you live longer--it just makes it SEEM that way!

    So, yeah, addictions suck. But seeking perfection isn't necessarily desirable either.

    Well done man, you’re doing great. I’m glad you had the awareness to seek out this thread during a time of weakness. A lot of times our reptilian brain just takes over and we relapse in our mind before we even have a chance to put things in perspective. That’s a sign that you are truly gaining control over this bullshit.

    Unfortunately I relapsed a week or so ago and of course, it only served as a reminder for what I must do. At this point in my journey relapses only serve as feedback to set me straight again. I’m sure many can relate to that. Of course, eventually we have to say enough is enough. We’ve gathered enough feedback, and it is always.. always one sided. Its never positive feedback encouraging us to continue that behaviour (when thinking with our rational mind). Remember that next time you feel weak. I know you don’t need anymore feedback. You’ve made it this far for a reason.. and you might as well get it right this time.

    Each time we fail in our goals we grow a bit more and understand ourselves a bit more. Forgive yourself and start again.
    Not trying is the real failure .

    That’s one hell of a motivational read! Abstaining isn’t that hard for me (so far). I have an incredible capability to do nothing lol. It’s actually going getting out there and taking action that is challenging for me.

    Checking in. How are my brothers doing? We can’t forget how important this decision is. We’ve chosen the difficult path, but it is the only path. Always remember that. The only way you can relapse is if you fool yourself. If you are successful in fooling yourself into believing that you can afford to indulge in the filth that is pmo, you will be immediately reminded of reality the second you O. We have to be perfect on this journey. There is simply no room for error. It’s a lot of pressure to be perfect, but that’s what makes this practice so powerful.
