    Hello all,

    My counter says 12 days without P, this is a huge accomplishment for me. When I am done with the day tomorrow, I will have refrained from watching P for 2 weeks. Insane. I went from watching P 5-6 times a day, spending money on webcams and onlyfans, to this. I am very grateful for my progress.

    So far, my sexual energy is insane. I really want to have sex again. If it was immediately available to me, I'd be f**king like a race horse.

    I work from home, which was a huge issue as I was literally able to spank the monkey to P at any moment. Although my focus is not where I would like it to be yet, I am so much better about doing the work that I have.

    I have SOOOOOO much more time on my hands. Not going to lie, when I finish work, go to the gym, and finish my other obligations, sometimes urges kick in. But instead of wasting an hour or two mounting the manticore to P, I can read or play guitar or hangout with friends. This is crucial to my mental health since I was doing none of this a month ago.

    Being off of all social media platforms helped me a lot more than I thought it would. Unfortunately, there is a big chunk of social media which is dedicated to showing off your body and being all lewd to attract the attention of others. When I was on social media, I would waste so much of my time, and sometimes I would add insult to injury by fantasizing about some people I know in real life or other by using instagram or snapchat. Don't get me wrong, social media can be used in a healthy and empowering way. But for me, I noticed how much this was impacting my ability to stop PMO or focus on my obligations. Give it a try, I promise you will not die. It will take some getting use to, but it is just like this Nofap stuff, and may even help you kill 2 birds with one stone.

    Anyway, I appreciate you all reading about my experience with not watching P. It is important to note that I do still M from time to time. Some days are worse than others, but I do not feel as bad as I use to about it. Personally, I could not eliminate this problem cold turkey. So I figured I would slowly cycle off, and this is what is working for me. However, today I realized how much more time I would have if I did not MO. Even for just a little bit. So I may start refraining from that too.

    Godspeed everyone, I really am rooting for every single one of you. Comment below if you have any questions, opinions, or just want to have a good chat.

    Adios for now.
     
  2. Good job cutting out porn for that long! Also cutting out social media is a fantastic idea. Are you drinking caffiene, have you thought of cutting that out as well?
     
  3. It's been almost 3 years since I quit caffeine and it changed my life.

  4. Great thread bro. I can't believe I did 2 weeks and now I'm nearing 60 days. Like you, I was watching stuff multiple times each day.
     
  5. Congrats! Wishing you continued progress like this. :cool:

  6. I don’t want to derail this thread, but could you explain a bit how it has changed your life? Coffee remains a guilty pleasure (which I definitely use in excess)!

  7. Simply put: much less anxiety. I thought all the anxiety I suffered from was normal until I quit caffeine.

  8. I honestly can’t get over onlyfans and that it’s an actual site to sell body pictures. Why would you want someone to have photos of you when they can’t look at you any time they want? My friends have talked about it because one our are past individuals has done it. Because we know how s****y she is. It just boggles my mind for people to make money that way, but when you have no other option it’s understandable.

    But congrats! I used to do streaks like these before I got sick. I wish I could do them again m, but I’ve felt something off in my Solar plexus that I just can’t describe.

    Sick? I am so sorry friend, I hope you are fighting through it like the warrior you are.

    Regarding the onlyfans, it is just like the whole thing with strippers becoming rappers in my opinion. People don't want to wonder why people like Cardi B or Megan Thee Stallion are famous, cause they are too busy looking at their body's to do so. Something is happening, more and more people are becoming lustful and acting on these intentions are becoming more accessible. Which is why OnlyFans is so big. Why wouldn't you want to spend $3-$10 a month to look at a girl you have always fantasized about? Especially if it is a girl you knew personally? I agree with you 100%, it is absurd to me. Though on the other side of my opinion, there are girls I know personally who make 10-20gs a month doing it. You get it how you get it I suppose.

    It is good to be aware of it, and refrain from it if your goal is to do so. I will not judge anyone or tell anyone what to do. Personally, it was becoming a problem for me. One that made me feel like less of a person.

    EDIT: By the way, I believe in you. Your sickness, whatever it may be, was meant to happen to you. Don't let your internal dialogue kill the progress or goals you want to achieve. Everything happens for a reason. I recommend reading 'The Alchemist' by Paolo Coelho. It changed my life, might do the same to you.

    Good points.

  10. I just surprisingly saw some Drum and bass track that she made I believe. I could tell that her part's were fake from the start. Nobody is that perfectly round, especially like Wendy Woo.. It's just if you want to do it go ahead, if it'll make your life happy.. although using it for money is absurd.
    Yeah me and my co worker's know of one person that made millions on the first week. A personal co from a previous job as well. I'm just surprised it's not being taken down as prostituting your own self. Especially with cam sites that are apparently legal now.
    I believe in my faith that is was a test for me. God has made me stronger and more firm with myself, it was more of a growth experience. But the fact 2020 wasn't anyone's year makes me believe it was like a simulation. Especially with other "news" that has corrupted our society.

  11. What is that like? I lean on that stuff too hard. Caffeine I mean. Social media cut out is also fantastic because half the videos on fb alone are triggering, maybe more. Idk about other social media stuff.

  12. cutting caffiene has reduced all my problems (and they were numerous) I recommend it to anyone. If you're like I was, I didn't have a sense of how bad my caffiene addiction was, it wasn't until I came off caffiene did I realize I hadn't cut it out ever, since I started drinking it when I was 13, I didn't have a sense for how anxious, and lustful, and envious it was making me, as well as narcissism, it feed narcissisms.

  13. I just reached a sudden realization that I used to fap after couple caffeine drinks. Like clockwork every fucking time. I haven't totally cut it out but I've certainly limited it some. AND my god the irritability with too much! Some wrong tone could bug me and I would cause discomfort for those around me.

  14. WesternWolf, you've got good times ahead of you. Cut the caffiene, practice temperance, gratitude, have a plan and stick to it. You'll go far.
