    Just wanted to know what you guys do to relax and chill out, basically looking for ideas to replace the dopamine reward porn used to bring.

    I have found I am reading more, I've taken up learning another language again, I'm going out more (albeit by myself) and I've got a drawing pad which I like to make sketches and stuff.

    So what do you guys like to do to relax?

    What do you mean by going out by yourself?

    To use a PUA term, lone sarging... Or just going out to the bar, grabbing a meal by myself, socializing when I otherwise would be PMOing.

    So guys what are your relaxation rewards, don't be shy?

    I watch some shows. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, and Anthony Bourdaine's Parts Unknown. Also some stand up. I visit family I didn't get to during the week. I go on long drives and blast music. Should do more though. I've said I wanted to learn a third language (Italian) but haven't yet lol. That's cool that you like sketching, what do you sketch?

    Just signed up for a 1-month hulu plus trial. Gonna relax to some SNL right now after someone started a thread called Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey...lol!

    Also, this may not sound like relaxing for people, but outdoor cardio. Biking and running, all kinds of speeds and distances. Cardio is an escape for me, more than other kinds of exercise. It's an escape for my mind, plus the endorphins make me feel so good. The pain comes with boosted serotonin and dopamine, and so I'm a slave to the pain. Lol, it relaxes me like nothing else, not even drugs make me feel the way a balls to the wall bike ride and run do.

    Just wanna share that i picked up the guitar and taught myself how to play whilst taking my mind of PMO. I find that when you have so much of this energy it has to go somewhere so i used it to learn guitar. Formerly I will be searching for novel P to MO to but i am now searching for more and more new and old songs to learn the chords and tabs to, its really fun and interesting! Kind of consumes my mind sometimes, which is much better than thinking about sex all the time. So i guess this is how i get my dopamine fix at home. Otherwise whenever i am outside i try to make the effort to talk to people but it is getting hard due to flatlining. So you guys might want to consider picking up an instrument, cos all your brain is trying to do is to work hard to make you learn that song well to i dont know, maybe impress a girl you like? Haha

    Cheers and push on!

    I've been meditating and playing piano. I'll also go out by myself like you do. I'll either play pool or go to a coffee shop.

    Exercise is good too. I don't do it often but it helps.

    Nice ideas guy keep them coming.

    Vanilla I play the piano too, or used to. Perhaps it is something I might want to pick up again. Yeah I need my meditation before bed and when I get up now. I've worked it into my routine.
