Let’s Go - My Journey to 100%

[LetsGo]

So, I had some 6 and 7 day stretches without fapping, but sadly whatever mental progress I made in that area seemed to have collapsed in the last week. I don’t know what’s wrong with me that I can’t buckle down and stop that shit entirely. I’m not even feeling sexual pleasure from it - why can’t I stop doing it? I think it’ll be essential to recovering.

I had a significant upswing but without any ability to feel sexual pleasure. But at least it wasn’t painful when I ejaculated, which had been the norm for most of my time with PFS.

I’m at around 1 day without fapping and I am reading an online book that claims to be helpful, so we’ll see how that goes. I’ve been slammed with work and then I was sick and made diet improvements, so I have been out of the gym for a couple of weeks and I need to get back in on a daily basis again.

I don’t understand why I can’t seem to control myself. It’s ten thousand times harder than working out or anything else.

Im with you man - nofap for me is probably the hardest part of the protocol. I think I probably have some sort of fapping and porn addiction, so I’m trying to treat it as such. Sadly it’s the case with a lot of dudes nowadays.

I was doing good in this area (regularly hitting 5 and 6 days) until experiencing a weeklong remission of PFS symptoms, during which time my fiance was sick with whatever I had just gotten over and I took back up fapping like puberty had hit all over again (because that's kinda what it felt like)...so, now that that upswing has faded, I have to work back up to that nofap strength, and you're right, it's absolutely harder than hitting the gym, puttin on muscle, or gaining strength. What the hell man....

Personally I've found that fapping is an issue when I'm bored and my brain is looking for some stimulation. Idle hands and all that. I try to have a personal rule where, when I get the urge, I get up, walk around, do dishes, anything to get my mind into another place instead of falling down the rabbit hole. It doesn't help that there is an absolute torrent of sexual imagery available via porn, IG models, etc. Our brain truly gets hooked on this stuff and is always looking to scratch that itch.

I made it to 11 days without ejaculating, although unfortunately several of the days leading up to that, I was edging a lot. It seems like the dating apps can act as a bit of a trigger for me, but if I remove them from my phone then I will effectively be giving up on dating until I recover.

I’m not sure if masturbating once every 10 days is still too much to recover from PFS. Or if once per 14 days is okay, or once per 28 days. I don’t know what benchmark I have to hit.

When I masturbated, I felt no sexual pleasure at all, and when I ejaculated, it was very forceful like it was pre-PFS, but I felt no orgasm. Same as normal during PFS.

I’m up to 6 days of NoFap.

I’m not really feeling good or energetic at all, despite the herbs and workouts, and diet. I’m not sure why I’m going through such a prolonged slump. I have not felt good in a long time.

''but I started improving much faster when I took gluten seriously and expanded my workouts to the recommended 15 sets.''


who recommended 15 sets?

''Reluctantly, I’m cutting out rice and quinoa as well, which I was supposed to do from the start''

these are allowed on carb backloading.

who recommended 15 sets?

I could’ve sworn it was 15 sets, but it seems like 12 is the recommended number. That’ll make my workouts faster, I guess. I think I just assumed that if 12 was good, then 15 is better.

I’ve hit 14 days of NoFap, which I think is my longest streak since I started fapping. I’m not sure if this is good or bad, but the entire time, it’s been very easy. Normally when I’m feeling asexual I would fap to try to test myself or get out of it, but I’m just going with it. I am also reading a free book about not fapping that I think helps.
