I have gone over 69 days without masturbating.
Can you imagine when this race is won? Turn our Golden Faces into the Sun...
Stand with me, nofappers. Through Hell and back, stand with me. And your reward will be Eternal Paradise.

post porn in celebration of OP's le sexty nineth thread
I failed last night, glorious anon. I'm hopping back on the train right away.
Solsticeanon? Struggleanon?
niether. just a dude who supports the cause who has been keeping an eye on these posts since last august or so.
How long was your streak, swordbrother?
i think about 40-50 days. I had a 600 day streak that ended last fall of no porn or masturbation, so i have it in me to do this proper, just need to stay on target.
>600
Wow. I kneel. How did you feel towards the later stages of that one?
I felt good, but still was struggling with body tension and the urges to do it. This habit is pernicious, and at least for me it seems like i'm never truly out of the woods so to speak. there needs to be more emphasis on finding proper coping techniques to deal with the anxiety. I also got pretty proud of myself maybe in a bad way. for me, the music i listened to (metal) was my downfall, as that leads me quite easily to porn and masturbation. when i don't listen to it, i do better.
pls post pic with no crosses
currently day 11. ready for urge wave. i will win
Google 'lotr nofap counter'. It's the first reddit result. Blank template.
Dreams are not real, brother. I have murdered countless in my dreams. I'm a free man
I failed in a dream. I won't let it get to me.
Effort pays off.
You are one strong soul and motherfucker while at it. Would be an extreme shame to devastate such a long streak, brother. 70 days vs 10 seconds, even if I am king of the universe for those 10 seconds if I fap, I still would refuse. I can easily keep at it, just the mere thought of wanting to be able to call 2 girls come at my house, I won't fap until that happens,my need for that is too strong to give it away on fapping. if it takes 2 or 3 years, fuck it. Imagine the euphoria you'd feel, few beers in, and you see her lights she pulls up and they both can't wait to undress you. I would never forgive myself if I die without experiencing that and go in my grave a filthy coomer. Also easy to not fap when you decide you want to be a wholesome, self respecting and healthy individual. Fapping to fucked up people fucking is not wholesome, by far. My bro remember this, when the urge gets too strong, gather by now some books on breathing so you don't fail. Those breathing tehniques might even regain your will to be as strong as it was on day 1 trust me. Download every book on breathing, tibetan buddhism, lucid dreaming and sexual energy and celibacy you can. You saw it's not worth it, congratulations. I trust you will make it to 365 days.
>Fapping to fucked up people fucking is not wholesome
wise, wise words. also the breathing thing sounds intriguing. i've always written that stuff off, but maybe it's time to give it a try.
do you have recommendations for any specific books?
Yes!
A coiled serpent
Why you should never masturbate by David balwin
Bliss of the celibate
Practice of brahmacharya by Sir Swami
Semen retention miracle
Celibacy and Transmutation of Sexual Energy for Deeper Meditation by Russel symons
Modern Biological Theory and Experiments on Celibacy
Brahmacharya under microscope
These are the major ones, there are many filled with superficial information but these ones go deep in just how much energy it takes your body to produce new semen, and how much stronger it becomes, and your brain aswell, when you retain. Trust me it's like shifting dimensions! (i say this to someone who hasn't tried it yet, of course!)
NAC Protocol / Parasite cleanse kills lustful thoughts
Anyone here tying to just abstain from porn but not mesturbation? After failing nofap multiple times this seem liek the way to go for me.
What's the point in that, exactly? Are you going to abstain from all sexual thoughts? Sexual imagery on TV? Seeing pornthreads on /LULZ/? Seeing hot girls in public who arouse you? Idiot?
What's the fucking point in abstaining from porn if you're jerking off anyway. Completely idiotic.
No need to get angry buddy.
I amd just not activelly looking up porn and definetly not using it to masturbate. I agree there it is pretty hard to avoid overtly sexual imagery these days, but I am making a concious effort to do so.
I went from jserking off to some questionable stuff 3-6 times a day to just masturbating to memory twice a week. I call that a success.
Just stop jerking, period. Watch all the porn you want, don't jerk to it. Simple.
Why tho? I always felt like the porn itself is much more harmfull. Especially if you are tring to fuck a real girl eventually. But also because it is a downwardspiral of watching more, more offen and more degenerate stuff as time goes on and not even really enjoying it.
>Why tho?

Ok, fair enough,I know I should cut down on masturbation too. But like half of your links are about porn. So why should I "Watch all the porn I want" ?
>But like half of your links are about porn
3 of them. Likely correlating with masturbation. There's around a dozen links there. Overwhelmingly about masturbation/ejaculation.
yea glorious anon, we need an answer to this. do you approve of watching porn?
I don't approve of watching porn, nor disapprove of it. I have watched porn throughout these almost 70 days of nofap, albeit not as much as I usually would on longterm streaks.
sorry anon, i'm parting ways with ya. it sounds like you're trying to substitute one form of sexual slavery with another(referring to your previous post on wanting to bang 2 chicks). i get where you're coming from, but unfortunately you are no longer glorious. in my 20s i thought like you. i thought if i got off masturbation, i would be more successful at banging chicks. it didn't happen, and i'm GLAD it didn't work. then, i would have worked to destroy not only my life, but the chicks i would have been banging. that's a level of guilt and frustration i couldn't cope with, so again, glad it failed.
I don't care. If your goal is to give up drinking alcohol. Your goal is to give up drinking alcohol. That doesn't mean you can never set foot in a bar. That doesn't mean you can't sit in front of a glass of scotch or a beer. In fact it doesn't even mean you can't pick up that glass and examine it in minute detail.
What it means is the minute that liquid touches your lips, you have failed. Everything up until that point is a-okay.
Stop adding ridiculous bonus rules and overcomplicating things. Simply stop fucking masturbating (that includes edging, even a single stroke).
bye anon. best of luck, you'll need it.
Goodbye. Never enter my threads again. I don't need your 'luck', because I have fucking self-control.
>(referring to your previous post on wanting to bang 2 chicks)
That wasn't my post.
even if you do manage to be successful at banging chicks who you're not married to, it'll fail. just watch, you're gonna be inviting a boatload of frustration to your life, trust me on this. don't really expect you to be convinced by this, i wouldn't have either, but at least i've spoken my peace.
do you approve of watching porn? do you watch porn?
Nofap is leddit tier cope.
>Just stop masturbating bro!
