Starting Friday, Aug 30 5:57am GMT (GMT+00:00), I am pledging to stop fapping cold turkey. The reasons for this are simple.
- I feel my results with woman irl are suffering, I have no motivation to go out and pursue a woman even when she is showing me signs of interest because I could just go home and get the same result.
- The lack of success in life with woman is beginning to influence my self-confidence. I have a great personality, and I am not averse to risks. In a commuter school, I am very well known and popular within my major, and even outside my major. Quite possibly the most well known within my year.
- I have many regrets from passing up the opportunity to bed and start a relationship with very sweet, smart and sexy women because my urge to pursue them has disappeared.
- I find it hard to go to sleep on time, which after reading could likely be caused by porn addiction.
- I pass up on a lot of opportunities that I later regret.
The new rules I am living by are the following.
- No looking at porn, avoid any suggestive pictures.
- No fapping or edging.
- Regularly I will record my results of that day.
- I will answer any Q&A that is requested.
- I will update this thread often as a tool to keep me honest.
New goals in life:
- I am going to start practicing more songs on my guitar.
- I am putting on a "Overcome" plastic wristband to remind myself of this decision, I will not take it off at minimum for a month.
- I am going to focus on weight training, eventually focusing on cardio and overall fitness.
No Fap field test notes begin NOW
I was scared when i image searched for "funny anti-porn". Saw some weird stuff, but was not tempted at all, it was weird
+ Show Spoiler [Night 0] +Feeling good about this decision, thinking about how this decision can help me in other areas of life such as weight lifting, work, school, and my recent start-up business. First challenge is going to be the night tonight. Decided to shower again before sleep. I found myself taking extra time shaving. Felt proud, as well as confident in this journey. Although this might be a false sense of security, I feel focused. Purely placebo, I'll not look a gift horse in the mouth however. On a side note: within the last week I started going to the gym with my friend, and upped my bench from 135lbs to 250lbs, and my squats from 225lbs to 500lbs. I am 6'2", 170lbs for reference. I am going to track my workout growth in this thread as well. Motivational Video of the Day: + Show Spoiler [Music Video] +
+ Show Spoiler [Day 1] +Part 1: Morning until end of work Woke up feeling the best I have felt waking up in a long time. Ran 130 checks for 500k with zero mistakes, although my focus started to wain. First related event was when I went to get lunch, I spotted a cute little chick with a headband, went up to her in the 10 seconds I had to spare, told her I liked that headband, It looked really good on her. Nothing more, but I felt that that was something I wouldn't have done as of yesterday. I think the urgency is beginning to take it's toll. On Facebook I got a lady to come out to a party with me tonight who as of yesterday was giving me one word responses. She says she has a boyfriend now, so I joke about how "Just because there is a goalie doesn't mean you can't score", then proceed to tell her to bring her hottest friends for me to hit on. I might have underestimated my sex drive. The next few days are going to get interesting. Not going to the gym, but the song f the day is inspired by the lady who told me she was sorry she has a boyfriend now because she knows I love her and shit. This song was my response on Facebook. + Show Spoiler [Music Video] +Post-work: The Party, and clothes shopping After everything is said and done on this night, I can say that I can see how this will be challenging. Nothing impossible, however challenging it will definitely be. The night starts out with me going out with my family to go clothes shopping. My step-brothers birthday is today and I go out to eat and teach him a new rubber band trick. By the time I get home it is 9:30 so I quickly shower and go out to my friends. To be honest I wasn't expecting anything, however I went because I felt like I owed it to him to visit him for a change, and I wanted to put myself in the position where this experiment would be hardest for me. Sacrificing a night of opportunity sounded like a good plan. The night itself was hilarious. I was comfortable making more sexual jokes, and being more sexually honest, because nobody there was single. Utmost freedom was mine, however the down side was there were some very sexual youtube videos going on. It almost felt like cheating. After this party I go to my local bar, to notice a band playing. I new business i started up tries to promote unsigned artists, so this becomes my conversation starter. Feeling a little out of place I walk around eventually settling in on a pair of arab guys, who instruct me that there is a group of 3 hot ladies inside. Because I was talking big up's on my game, I decide I can't back down now. I walk up to the ladies and start a conversation. What I can only assume to be one of their dads, who latter I find out was just a raging old man tries to fight me over these chicks. I walk away even after two of the ladies told me that their friend was single and said we both had glasses. Lessons from the night: 1. Not being surrounded by sex makes approaching girls easier, especially when you have a non-direct opening. 2. Being more desperate for sex pushes you to more bravery (in the form of talking to random strangers both guys and girls). 3. Not seeing so much sex and focusing on the end goal ultimately allows you be escalate the conversation sexually earlier, because you naturally want it. 4. Social settings are exactly how you perceive them. (The old man might have actually been fucking with me, however my lack of experience in that area make me uncomfortable, something I haven't felt before during the night.
+ Show Spoiler [Day 4] +Almost broke twice now, went to a house party the two nights ago and could have hooked up with 3 different chicks. Passed because I am still in the mode where my body thinks fapping is still the backup plan. Was the life of the party and met everyone, the not jerking off really makes you go out and talk to people. I also had to read a few articles in order to motivate myself not to crack. The past two days I had no motivation to write. After reading I heard that around wednesday/thursday my testosterone levels are going to heavily spike, so I will use that day for hitting the gym, and going out. Immediately after thinking of going out on a wednesday, I thought of a local club I haven't been too in a long time that has college night on wednesdays. Now I am also thinking about how my buddy and I got a hotel room to bring chicks back to last time. Overall I care much less about my conversations with females, I feel annoyed by them if we continue small talk for long periods of time. Would rather cut my losses and move on. Overall I am questioning if this really is an important move to not masturbate, but my curiosity and stubbornness are holding strong. Also I am answerable to this blog and motbob, after he graciously advised me on how to not make this blog not get auto-closed. This morning was the first morning where I was tired when I woke up. The other morning I was full of energy, this quite possibly could be because I was not wanting to go to work today and go out instead. Also I am getting agitated that no bars are open tonight. I actually went and got coffee on the way home tonight just to see if there were hot chicks there. I might go for a shirtless run in front of the school later. My horny-scale on day 2 was probably 8/10 for a good 3 hours. I feel like today it is a 4/10. Not sure, it ail be interesting to see my outlook around day 7. No motivation song today, just twerk music. Actually no tweak music. Fresh unsigned electric. + Show Spoiler +After previewing my blog on teamliquid for the first time I decided to make some changes. Also I feel like I was a slightly different person writing the introduction. Proud to say the overcome bracelet has yet to leave my wrist. Also a weird thing is how much more time I put into this blog then normal. I looked up the BBcode and experimented in order to make this blog look more presentable and easier to read.
+ Show Spoiler [Day 5] +I wasn't going to write anything today, but I felt an urge to, and here I am. Nothing has happened to far today, however I feel an itch building up inside. I was expecting to stay in tonight, maybe grab a beer with a friend and play some pool, however all of a sudden I really just want to go to a local bar where there is alot of hot chicks. I don't even want to drink, I just want to go pick up on chicks. Also read this article: http://themodernsavage.com/2011/02/28/porn-addiction-and-the-fall-of-men/Interestingly enough, I am feeling less needy as well. The less neediness is coming along with confidence and a bitter honesty to myself. I am able to say borderline asshole things without having to feel bad about saying them. These comments are just internal monologues, and I am not actually telling people rude things. Very interesting situation today. I feel less want to talk to chicks who I have been talking too as friends. Crystal clear focus. I can even read articles now without zoning out.
+ Show Spoiler [Day 7] +I had a reset on day 6, so I am now at day 1. To be honest, I was already in the motions, but porn was not the same to me. Almost did not enjoy it. Other then that there is not much information to add. Life is normal, and I am feeling at peace with my decision. My next goal is to make it further. I have not set a day, just.. further. The only thing of notice is the gym today. Went with a personal trainer friend of mine, and I took off alot of weight from what I normally do, and got an insane burn. We did negatives on the last set, I wish I was listening to this audio while I was doing it, I feel next time I can push further. + Show Spoiler [Video/Audio] +. Also pulled up some motivation pictures as a refresh to an old blog of mine. + Show Spoiler [Motivational Pictures] +
More Coming soon, I'll post a comment in the thread when new content is released.

avoid any suggestive pictures.
These are all around us. Somehow I doubt you can honestly walk around town without seeing some suggestive pictures.

On a side note: within the last week I started going to the gym with my friend, and upped my bench from 135lbs to 250lbs, and my squats from 225lbs to 500lbs.
You made those gains.. in a week? Explain..

I genuinely wonder how much of your change was caused by the placebo effect.
|
I can't imagine that 4 days without fapping can cause such a change... seems a bit off.
Same with the weight-lifting example. a 100% increase in weight? To 500lb squats? when you're 170? Mmhmm.

The internet warps any measurement relating to a person. Usually increasing error resulting in an erroneous total, with the exception of weight which can go either up or down depending on the person and circumstances.
Also, if fapping effects your ability to interact with women, or makes you uninterested... I have a feeling the problem you face is much deeper rooted than you may believe. You are not getting the same thing all by yourself than you would be if you were with a woman. (And if in reality you feel it is... then something is seriously wrong.)

I'm pretty sure that that's a myth. I think I read that it's actually better to fap when you're trying to impregnate, as it keeps your sperm fresh.

Well, that's honest....if you think is at a level that is an addiction then yes, probably that affects you in many ways, GL!

No fapping and no edging? Wtf is edging?

I like how you instantly increased your strength from 135 lbs to 250 lbs in one week.
Also, I keep reading your name, and thinking its pronunciation is "Jizzle".
I also like how you entered in 4 days worth of journaling without editing the original post.

RESPONSE TO GYM DISCUSSION
For all the people questioning my gym results, I use a leg press machine for squats, and I used 2 45's on each side for 3 sets of 10 reps each. For bench I used a standard bench with a 45 on each side and 10's-25's on each side extra if i felt good. Again 3 sets of 10 reps each. Each exercise was relatively challenging, but I realized I wasn't pushing myself. These gym gains are from before my no fap decision.
I started going with my buddy who is an ex-football player. We also started talking pre-workout. On the same leg press machine I went from 3 45's, to 4 45's to 5 45's on each side on the 5 45's (which is 450lbs before the bar, I am using a 45lb bar). My reps on that final set were 6. So my gains on squats were four parts; first I did less reps, second pre-workout, third having a huge dude screaming in your ear, and four I had my hands pushing down on my hips.
The bench was similar, my buddy pushed me on more weight and we moved from a standard bench to the one where the bar is held on a rail (aka you don't have to balance the weight). I dropped my reps, and my buddy spotted me.
It definitely was not a huge deal to pull off, and it has nothing to do with not fapping, rather it allowed me to see that I am capable of more then I believe I am. Of course I got DOMS after, and could not sit down or fully extend my elbows for a good week after without pain when I made the gains.
I was planning on going to the gym again tomorrow, but I am going to hold off until thursday when this no-fap thing is supposed to double my testosterone levels. Combined with preworkout, I want to see how much damage I can do at the gym, which will coincide with my follow up on my night 0 post. The results are not that impressive, anybody could do it with the right tools.

Also to 3FFA, I am lax on that rule. I don't actively avoid it atm, but I do not seek it either. If i see a bikini pic of a hot chick on facebook I scroll over it and glance, but then move on as an example. I live in L.A where there is alot of suggestive advertising. My goal in this rule was to go to the extreme at the start (in accordance with my cold-turkey approach), and to make the whole quitting thing easier on me by reminding of fapping less.

To Entirety and vuit, as I said for the first few days I believe that everything I am feeling is pure placebo. The initial rush of doing something new is prolly what is going on in my mind. I expect to be able to fully judge the difference in one month, however from reading online, there will be a change in my experience around day 7 when my testosterone spikes. I can tell you that there is a huge difference in my ability to wake up in a good mood in the morning. I attribute this to no midnight fap, as well as going to bed earlier, which might be a side effect. Also I feel a bit more attentive, focused, and thorough in my work (I consider this blog work; I am considering alot of stuff work now).

To felisconcolori, I do not have one of the personalities that would rather stay in and not do anything while fapping away all day.
+ Show Spoiler [Long story about my personality] +
I don't want you to think I am a anti-social person. I also don't want you to think I am a sexist. I live with a mom and a sister who have always been caring to me. I am known by my group of friends as the life of the party, the guy who always wants to do stuff, and the crazy friend.
I fall in love with every girl I meet. My fapping habit suppressed my urge to bed these woman, which opened the door to focus on a womans personality. Looking for a long term partner this development is great, however I felt that I friendzoned alot of girls that otherwise I could have had great relationships with. By friendzoning a chick, I mean that I would be in situations where the lady would make it clear to me she wanted to get intimate, however I would be too nervous or aloof to make a move, because I genuinely like the girl and felt that if we went down that path and something went wrong the conversations would stop. I would say the only flaw in my personality is that I was too focused maintaining what was good to take a risk on a relationship that could be great. In short I would take the sexual aspect out of the equation and focus on bonding with woman.
Re-reading your post, and then my answer I think I might have went on a tangent. If you are thinking I have a problem with intimacy you might be on to something. That is something for me to think about on the side. This no fap is designed to work on a couple of the things in my life that I feel could be better. So if i hit the nail in the head about what you think the deep seated problem might be, I could see this project as being a way to force me into these situations I might not be comfortable with. Could be a rehap of sorts.

I had to look up edging as well. Edging is fapping, but you stop before you climax. Ran across it on forum post on the topic while researching. It is a lookhole people will use, which I don't get because if your looking for loopholes your heart is not in it in the first place.

I call it "Jizz all" normally, but the original idea stemmed from my name starting with a J, so it was "J is all" with no spaces basically just telling people that they only had to call me by J instead of my full name to make it easier on them. I wanted to put the first few days up during my first post so that there was something to read and discuss, I have a PM discussion with motbob from one of the first night with the up to date blog included if you would like evidense (not really sure how that is important tho).
Edit: almost forgot thanks for the tits Ninazerg, and thank you Gendo for the Goodluck

there will be a change in my experience around day 7 when my testosterone spikes
Hmm. When I've done research of a similar nature in the past, I found that apparently regular ejaculation can increase your testosterone levels. Not the other way round. For example, fapping straight after workout could actually be benifical for your recovery, as your body needs to increase its testosterone levels to replace the depleted semen. Thoughts? I guess I'll look into it some more.
By the way, I also tried what you're doing when I was younger. I remember reading on some PUA shit that not fapping would increase your desire to make friendly with the ladies and whatever else. Can't say that it worked for me. Like the other dude said "I have a feeling the problem you face is much deeper rooted than you may believe". Any results you see are most likely a placebo.
Edit: Right nevermind anything I said. Futher research suggests that the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone levels is almost non-existent, except for the one day spike on the 7th day as you mentioned.
|
Leg press = squats?
You increased your leg press (of course you did more weight with less reps) and your "bench" was actually moving from a REAL bench press to the smith machine (with a 'spot', yeah we all know what that means).
Congrats on the no-fap but this gym stuff is pure wank.
|
Oh okay. That sounds more like torture than a loophole though haha. That may actually be beneficial though. If you always force yourself to stop masturbating right before you climax, then your interest in the ladies might grow since you will be torturing yourself by not climaxing and therefore you will need a lady to do it for you. I dunno. Just a thought

The idea is that if you feel good for a few minutes, it's better than nothing.
Except it takes an immense amount of willpower to stop yourself (it gets harder each day), and plus you're prone to making mistakes (accidentally passing the point of no return), and then it's really uncomfortable to have this giant boner for a while since you didn't calm it down.
There is only one good reason for edging: when you are suuuper horny but you cannot ejaculate for some reason (for example, you have no spare tissues, no bathtub in sight, etc.) Even then, it's kind of dubious...
Edit: I suppose that it can train your willpower... lol

But in all seriousness, good luck, seems like nofapping is the perfect cure to your current situation. Though I personally would say a fap or two per week wouldn't go amiss - men who never achieve sexual gratification can become ludicrously tunnel-visioned towards getting women and will get desperate.

Alright your muscles actually need time to grow after a work out so you actually don't see any results after such a short time, especially something that drastic because you're a fucking twig at 6'2" 170. This ain't DBZ.

Two monks were traveling together about to cross a river with a strong current. As they were preparing to cross, they saw a very young, very beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The young woman asked if they could help her.
The senior monk carried this woman on his shoulder, forded the river and let her down on the other bank. The junior monk was very upset, but said nothing.
They both were walking and senior monk noticed that his junior was suddenly silent and inquired “Is something the matter, you seem very upset?”
The junior monk replied, “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?”
The senior monk replied, “I left the woman a long time ago at the bank, however, you seem to be carrying her still.”

Perhaps the energy you delegate in not jacking off could be better spent ... jacking off.

They both were walking and senior monk noticed that his junior was suddenly silent and inquired “Is something the matter, you seem very upset?” The junior monk replied, “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?” The senior monk replied, “I left the woman a long time ago at the bank, however, you seem to be carrying her still.” ========== Perhaps the energy you delegate in not jacking off could be better spent ... jacking off.
Deep. Nice story thanks (: Will use it on all of my heartbroken friends.

He's got to be trolling about the gym-stuff, talking about legpress as squat and smith machine BP, wth :p

When I didn't fap for a week I spent more time being horny and unproductive than I did before. The feeling of control is nice though and when you do fap it'll be amazing.

I find it a little strange OP that you think people want to see your "no fap" progress lol. Its like you're a movie star or something. Anyways good luck dude. I could never do it. Not that i'd want to.
I am mostly doing this because it is going to give me another tool to keep at it. Also it will give me a place to personally reflect on how it is changing my life. Even if there are no people in this thread by the time I am done, that is fine with me. I opened this thread for selfish reasons, however I wanted to leave the thread open for discussion incase anybody else wanted to go down the same path, they could look at how my life changed and see if that is something that is beneficial to them. My goal was for my entries to be almost scientific lab notebook entries.

When I've done research of a similar nature in the past, I found that apparently regular ejaculation can increase your testosterone levels. Not the other way round. For example, fapping straight after workout could actually be benifical for your recovery, as your body needs to increase its testosterone levels to replace the depleted semen. Thoughts? I guess I'll look into it some more. By the way, I also tried what you're doing when I was younger. I remember reading on some PUA shit that not fapping would increase your desire to make friendly with the ladies and whatever else. Can't say that it worked for me. Like the other dude said "I have a feeling the problem you face is much deeper rooted than you may believe". Any results you see are most likely a placebo. Edit: Right nevermind anything I said. Futher research suggests that the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone levels is almost non-existent, except for the one day spike on the 7th day as you mentioned.

I honestly do believe I can hook up with any chick I wanted to if I had the right motivation. As it is now, I make friends with every girl I meet because I do genuinely care for them. It is ok for you to have doubts about me, I on the other hand have none.

To be honest with you I cannot tell you for certain. I don't visit r/nofap so I don't know the culture there, but personally I can say that it is making me more social, due to creating a sexual demand by not fapping. The body is smart, if you reward yourself for staying in with fapping, the endorphins are going to train you to keep doing the same. When you tell your body that doing the same thing is not producing the same results (by not fapping), your body looks for that high someplace else. That is the desired effect I want to see. How much of it is placebo? I can't tell you for certain, everyones experience is different, but for me I am starting to feel a change.
GENERAL RESPONSE TO GYM CRITICISM
I am proud of my accomplishments at the gym, which occurred before my decision to not fap. My judging of my performance at the gym is subjective, and as such you might not agree with it. However no matter how you feel about how I accomplished the gains, I feel amazing about it. I don't want this blog to be focused on the gym, with my log of no-fap as a side, rather I want the focus to be my no-fap decision and how it has effected me, with the gym being a selected area of intrigue for study. As such I am using my gains as a baseline for my growth in the next few weeks. This will be my last response to the gym, I don't want to derail my own blog any more.
Next blog entry coming soon. Tonight seems uneventful, Wednesday and Thursday I am going out and hitting the gym. Expect the next entry sometime along those two days

I'm also literally the best loved and most recognizable face on my campus. With my 800 lb squat (on lp, 4.7 x bw) I have a wilks score of over 400. The only thing more impressive than that is my outstanding personality which is easily in the top 1% of the top 1% of personalities. Do you think I can't get girls because I wank to much?

Testosterone and masturbation links have produced varying results - some studies have shown an increase in testosterone post-sex/masturbation, others have shown a decrease, others have shown nothing. One thing that seems to be common is that the actual testosterone difference is very small, barely significant, so regardless if you're getting more or less testosterone relative to normal it's not enough to make any meaningful difference. If you stop masturbating and you find it's turning your whole life around (like the people at reddit nofap) then you probably have a porn addiction or you're deluding yourself; there are simply no effects that could change your life so much that result from not masturbating.

I feel a change, and to be honest, I may have had porn addiction. Regardless of why I feel different, I feel better. Placebo effect or not, I am not going to question something that is working. No need to fix what isn't broken atm.

If I was doubling my lifts every 3 days I wouldn't question it either.

I'm not entirely sure you got the point I was trying to make with the quote, but... it seems at least like you're in the general right direction.
|
Even OP didn't get my pun 
|
The only way you double your 'lifts' / 'presses' and whatever in a week is by putting your start way below the level you are capable of. If you would start with 80% of what you are capable off as working sets (100% is 1RM) you cannot increase it by 100%. Especially it gets more ridiculous the higher you did start. 250lbs ~ 114kg which you called squat.. would be very good already, as for the legpress - not so much. Yet saying you increased it to 230kg after just one week is utter bullshit. There is no point in you writing "you don't need to believe it" - everyone that worked out in their life knows it. After a legday, you cannot walk out the gym properly and your legs need rest to heal/build muscle. Even if you hit the gym 3 times in a week just for your legs, you would never get the incease you talk about.
Not to mention that if you are not used to it, 3-5x at the gym won't do anything, muscles do build during the times they can rest, not during the times you work out.

Lol I'm about a week in too. I'm gonna see if I can go a few months. Last time I did no fap I lost the urge to fap after about 3 weeks and eventually just fapped because I wasn't being motivated to meet women through my no fapping.

They only need to rest because you masturbate. If you didn't jerk off, you'd be healed by the time you got home.

What kind of steroid do you use? :D
I dont know man, real men use barbells. Maybe you need more fapping, if you still can from all the obvious steroid abuse.

Being the only on topic response in this thread atm, I will devote all my attention to you. I had a slip-up, but the urge is gone now. Porn and fapping was not the same to me during the slip-up. I think this setback helped. I learned that most of the reward with porn and fapping was self-constructed in my mind. The benefits I am feeling from not fapping outweigh any things I miss.
An advantage I have is I like talking to people and going out to bars. The 3 week mark for me is the first day of school, which would be awesome. I actually walked up to a group of 2 chicks and one guy last night, and pulled one of them. I felt that I would not have done that before, as I normally avoid groups where there is a guy. I think a big thing is the bar I go to during the week has free pool, so there is another level of why people are there.

I can't make it through the day productively without my morning-shower-fap and I can't possibly sleep without my night-shower-fap.
That's the downside of living with a twice-daily-girl for several years: you get used to it REALLY quickly and once it's over, you got a long recovery ahead of you...
Good luck, man. You're a stronger and undoubtedly better man than I am.

Really, equating leg presses to squats proves you really have no idea what you're talking about.
