what about regular sexual contacts? or your challenge is only for jerking off boys?

what about regular sexual contacts? or your challenge is only for jerking off boys?

If you have problems with regular sexual contacts, you can take this challenge too (NoPMO + NoSex for ya). But yeah, you can take the challenge and having sex. The main culprit here is porn. I would call it NoPorn challenge but it's not as popular as NoFap.

EDIT: if you have regular sex, you probably don't need to take this challenge.

Title: Re: NoFap challenge official thread
Post by: Xrayez on July 24, 2016, 09:31 AM
... why?

If you can't get it up to the real partner because you watch too much porn, it will cure porn-induced erectile dysfunction.
If you have mild social anxiety or anxiety in general, it may cure it.
If you have concentration problems, it could fix this.

Masturbating is totally ok, as you say, you can do it everyday xD

It just happens that masturbation is heavily associated with porn and the novelty it delivers. So taking a break from both activities is beneficial. Think about it as fasting. You need to upregulate dopamine receptors in your brain.

Each click and flick surges dopamine that releases at never-ending novelty. This is why it's so compelling. It's not mere nudity. What happens is that your neural pathways become sensitized to porn, while other pathways (walking in the park) become desensitized so this activity seems boring compared to porn.

I dunno if you're addicted or not. You could take a test: try masturbate without porn or recalling porn. If it's impossible for you, you're most likely addicted. But even if you're not addicted, you can still experience negative effects of using porn. It depends on your age too. I grew up on internet porn. It's far more detrimental for youngsters. You never know unless you try.

If there will be no participants, I will switch this challenge to just NoPorn...

Ae, welcome mate.

These effects can last for 2 days in this challenge, or longer, but then you might fall into flatline (depression, insomnia, no libido). There's a proper reboot period (around 30-90 days), but I don't want to make it extreme here.

You need to wash out the protein called DeltaFosB that triggers addiction related brainchanges. It sits there in your brain and accumulates, and is hard to get rid of it, it's the number one reason for cravings. You'll rationalize to use porn like a drug junkie!

A healthy sex life is natural, whether it's proper sex or masturbation, it feels great either way, I understand you aren't primitive but so many primitive idiots who shun sex and I cba with them...

I mean, i'd maybe do it if we were raising money for cancer awareness or domestic abuse or something, but doing it for the reasons said in this thread seems a bit weird.

I notice you said "possible benefits", because it's mostly about a persons mentality, whatever they believe to feel/think, that's what they will feel/think in most cases, not saying there aren't benefits, but there are also benefits to a very active sex life too.

Again, nothing against sex or masturbation. I'm talking about excessive use of porn. Another reason for this challenge is give a chance for youngsters like me to rewire the brain to the real deal. Virgins are welcomed!  ::)

If you don't resonate with the message, you don't have any problem. But imagine that porn is water and fish is you. If I ask you about what do you think about water, what would your reaction be like?  ??? One has to just give a try. But it might be difficult. This thread is mostly fit for <25 years old fellows.

This challenge is more about being honest with yourself first. It doesn't make sense to lie to yourself. There is no actual prize here. My aim here is to bring up some awareness about effects of porn. If you slip up and don't report, you'll still have some NoFap experience under your belt. For those who successfully completed the challenge, I would be glad to hear their reports about how it changed their perception.

What's you wet dream cycle? Mine is 2 months :D

The only problem with a wet dream is that you wet you pants while dreaming obliviously. That's why I switched to just NoPorn after a reboot. Masturbation is healthy and you don't do it as often as you would do with porn.

Have you noticed any benefits by not looking at pron, Impo?

I work with myself on many different levels, eliminating porn use is just one of the blocks.

You miss the point. It doesn't matter what source it is. If you're aroused by looking at a screen, it's still porn, whatever it is. And it might be even more harmful because cams are even more realistic and interacting, which is not good if your goal is to rewire your brain to the real world. Even dating sites is not a solution :P

you know, people have been masturbating from the man's origin, from the primate monkeys time. at all times man was looking for an inspiration for this. it was thoughts, pictures, speech and video lately. it is natural to ejaculate. sperm is being produced for expiring. this is the Nature law.

I will say it again, god damn it! Masturbation is totally natural. Before, masturbating to thoughts, pictures was OK for the human brain. And porn was OK too before internet. It just happens that abstaining from masturbation helps recover from porn addiction. Please, disassociate masturbation from porn. I'm talking about internet porn. Completely different beast.

You'd probably feel some benefits of abstaining from fapping for awhile. I had the same problem as you, and it goes away. I used to masturbate everyday.

Perhaps it's true, not denying it. But that is still far from what internet porn gives you: endless novelty! How much women would you meet in real life? Now compare that to millions of photos and videos, including different genres if you ever get bored. Each click releases dopamine, and it stays in dopamine receptors causing further declining in the number of receptors due to overstimulation, causing addiction related brainchanges. Please google the topic more carefully if you don't believe me. Keywords: gary wilson, porn addiction, nofap, pornfree, porn-induced erectile dysfunction.  :P

Congratz Kaleu, seems like you're not an addict  :)

But... Are you gonna continue NoPorn for some time? Or will you go back to it? Have you seen any benefits? Do you watch it at all? xD
Try to extend your streak, 2 weeks is really not that long to experience withdrawal symtoms.
Remember, porn can be anything for you, even if it's not technically porn.

As for me... I finally got rid of it, for good. Never going back. I had some serious withdrawal stage. Anxiety, depression mostly, intrusive thoughts.

I still get some urges, but it's really easy to deal with them if you know the reason why you're doing this.

Social anxiety decreases. Motivation for other things increases. And it doesn't matter if I go into depressive state again (I know I will), because it will pass and the next day will be more brighter.  ???

Thanks for questions and critique!

Yes I will keep with no porn, I think I'm not an addict at all.
Hmmm benefits? Does stay clean for longer count? Cause taking a bath 1-2 times a day was a must, nowadays I can even skip 1 day xD Nothing big despite of that, if I feel something else I will report as the days count and as much as I can hold.   :)

The absolute maximum for the withdrawal symptoms/benefits to appear is 120 days of being clean. If you can go that long, you're fine. But you could still experience some negative effects even if you do it in moderation, say, once a week. 120 days is the time for DeltaFosB protein to be washed away from your brain completely and you won't experience an urge to watch porn again. Occasionally, yes, you might be triggered, but most of the time an ex-addict/user is in control.

I was kinda ok the first 14 days, but then on day 18 I had severe depression. Then it stabilized. It's an emotional rollercoaster! You might even feel complete loss of libido for a while.

I relapsed once to porn some time ago after a long time of being clean. Let me tell you, the rush was so high that I think it was like shooting up real drug without any needle (I don't know really, but I think it would be like that).  :D

Too often porn is the "best" choice among people as an emotional crutch/escape. Imagine you don't need it anymore to be happy, or at least being ok with yourself.
