U wot m8

OT: Last year I had a pretty good streak, This year I'm going for a longer one. It is like my only new years resolution.

I'm certain I am going to make it, and I'm certain you guys will too.

>>4563

if you can't drop it altogether it's an addiction

>>4778

Do pushups until you're too sore to move your arms.

Last fap was on the 30th. Going strong so far.

What else are you guys doing this year? I've been taking cold showers since mid december, feels good man.

increased testosterone

>>4659

Nope.

Some people mentioned having less dirty stuff occupying their thoughts and being less neurotic after NoFap, making it easier to connect with the opposite sex.

Who knows, it might work out for you.

Well one way to look at it is this: nofap puts you in control of your sexual urges. By exercising this restraint, you will be better able to make decisions based on rationality rather than what your dick wants.

I can't tell you the amount of guys I've met that are so fucking pussywhipped by their girl that they can't make any decisions in the relationship. All because their dicks are screaming "JUST DO WHAT SHE SAYS! SHE MIGHT PUT OUT IF YOU DO WHAT SHE SAYS! YOU DON'T WANT TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH, DO YOU?". This wouldn't be an issue if they were in control of their vices. You could barely call these people "men". Men don't get led around by their fucking women.

Women are emotionally and psychologically manipulative. Do you really need me to tell you why being in control of your sexuality would be a useful thing in these relationships?

Don't be such a cuck, Anon. Keep that vital life fluid in your balls where it belongs. Do you really want to get drained due to some insignificant pixels on your screen?

>>4770

They're not insignificant!

It feels good!

The whole article, excluding a few sentences near the end, essentially makes the assumption that porn consumption exists in a vacuum, that there are no external factors that would push someone to use porn rather than forming more natural sexual relationships. That people who may be using porn in an unhealthy way don't exist.

Then there are a handful of sentences near the end like "w-well I guess if someone was depressed, couldn't get into a real relationship, or is using porn as a coping mechanism in some other way then maybe porn addiction could be a thing and there could be a negative effect".

Like, no shit Chaim.

The author tries to avoid the entire demographic of nofappers and then makes a footnote about "oh, by the way, under x situations nothing I've said above would apply". Then he tries to even downplay that by saying "o-oh but exercising would help you even more goyim! start exercising and keep fapping to traps goy! don't reproduce! heh heh heh."

I understand if someone defends masturbation and calls that healthy but it's fucking obnoxious when someone defends porn.

>general consensus of his entire mental health/medical community

I see no reason to trust the mental health community. I was depressed from age 15-20 and went through a series of psychologists, psychiatrists, and drugs but the thing that got me better was to gain self-respect and confidence. Only you can decide to make yourself better, and "experts" won't help you do that any more than a trusted friend or family member.

You really blew them the fuck out, didn't you lad? Keep it up and one day you'll be ready to tackle a real argument.

>Attention to attractive alternatives can be detrimental to relationships. With the growth of the pornography industry, it is important to consider the effects this material has on relationships. Our research suggests a powerful association between pornography consumption and increased attractiveness of alternative partners—an association that has direct implications for intimate extradyadic behavior.

>Our hypothesis was supported as pornography consumption predicted greater infidelity, as assessed by hooking up and as assessed in a more general manner. Furthermore, commitment mediated the relationship between pornography consumption and both hooking up and infidelity and the relationship between pornography consumption and commitment was mediated by hooking up and infidelity. Thus, it appears that pornography consumption is not only related to weakened commitment in relationships, but that there are high-risk, behavioral consequences to the decreased commitment associated with pornography consumption.

>Recent research suggests that this flood of visual stimulation may amplify men’s evolved drive for casual sex. In a recent study, for example, Wright found that men who use porn are more likely to have multiple partners and extramarital sex.

>“Is it just that people who like casual sex gravitate to pornography? I didn’t find that to be the case in a follow-up study,” says Wright. “Viewing pornography was associated with increases in casual sex, but the reverse wasn't true—casual sex didn't predict pornography use.”

>Wright’s findings are in line with what psychologists call “sexual script theory,” the widely studied notion that what we watch becomes our definition and even our expectatioPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

> How about you go say that to someone on the street?

I maintain my doubt that common folk will adhere to the glorification of pernicious bums and criminals who incidentally have more monies than him(triggering possible Greed on the passer-by)

>competition

For what, may I ask?

Meekness is a virtue, a warrior is not a serial killer.

>>4650

Material spoils and the self-conception of various ideals. Moderation is also a virtue.

Because women are attracted to men who sleep with a lot of women. They are not attracted to men who sleep with a lot of pixel women.

>>4611

>Attraction is independent of "Pheromones",or sexual activities.

Hit the nail on the head. when it comes to women its money and status

Yeah I don't really like game anymore anyway. CS GO is widely regarded as one of the best games ever. But I think it's boring as hell. It's just the same thing over and over. After years and years of development, this is the best modern games can offer??

I loved Counter Strike: Source when I was 8 years old, but eventually you have to grow up.

I've been playing video games almost non stop since I was 5 years old. I can't even imagine not playing them it's that bad. My main dopamine fixes come from them, and so do my "friends". I feel like it's almost a heroin addiction in the disguise of a passion, but it's the only thing I feel like I know, it's the one thing I'm decent at (in competitive multiplayer games).

If I quit I would have no idea what to do to fill the void It's scary as shit.

>>4646

Is there a board to discuss digital addictions? Things like gaming, internet and so on? There should be.

This one might be a touchy subject.

Quitting gaming altogether might not be so bad, but modern games certainly don't help.

Most modern titles rely on constant streamlined rewards in order to keep players enticed into the game. You go to Area 1, fight some goons, get a brief reward, go to the boss/event, then get a slightly larger reward. This is why barely any companies use save points anymore as opposed to automatic checkpoints, plus it makes picking up and putting a game down easier.

On the other hand, take something like Dwarf Fortress where the entertainment often comes from enduring long periods of nothing into a spontaneous and random narrative that you can miss altogether if you don't learn management and how to pay attention to details.

There's also using competitive scenes to meet people, but your mileage can vary on that one.

I was 17, about 10 years ago. This was before tube sites really existed, so you just had sites that contained collections of really shitty low res 2 minute free trailers from official porn sites.

That was enough for me back then. The dopamine rush was unreal.

Now I have to have like 30 different porn site tabs open and switch back and forth between shit to try to get something resembling satisfaction.

at a friends house when we stayed up late at night he put on the adult channel.

About 12 years old. Watched, for merely 5 seconds, a sex scene of a hentai aired in open TV.

Made me sexually confused for quite a while, since I had no idea what the moaning was about or what it supposed to be feeling good was.

My cousin showed me a german VHS porn tape from his dad's stash when I was like 9 years old. I didn't understand it at the time so that didn't change anything in my life.

It wasn't until I was 14 years old when I discovered that watching softcore videos of naked asses made me feel good. Next 6 years or so I was fapping everyday at least once but sometimes up to 5 times a day, including fapping to Oblivion mods while my sister was sleeping behind me. Naturally, my tastes deteriorated over time, I changed videos to 3D porn, mostly mods for Oblivion and Skyrim where I could pan the camera however I liked and get the perfect shot of the action.

I discovered NoFap like 2 years ago and I've been struggling ever since. Now I'm 23 and on my longest streak of 2 months and I hope to finally end this disgusting habit.

Nice try Goldstein

Shit like cucking and "Black dick in white girls" threads easily took off on 4chan, once the someone laid the seeds for it.

People in the mainstream-world are constantly horrified by the vitriolic hatred 4chan is capable of. And we are.

4chan is generally a hateful place. It's an outlet, everything about us documents this. We use incredibly hateful language as commonplace, we create divisions and long-running feuds over petty shit, even on the themed boards.

At the core of all that shit, is self-hatred.

Anons hate the world in general, but they put themselves right at the top of that fucking list.

And what are you gonna get off to, if you really hate yourself?

The fantasy of some dude fucking your girlfriend. The fantasy of an entire race of dudes who are genetically superior at satisfying women that you want to get with.

The fantasy of submitting yourself to a worthier man.

The fantasy of not being yourself, but a much cooler person. Who's also a dragon, or a fox or some shit.

Whatever, it's a tenous fucking theory and I'm talking out of my ass, but 4chan was fucking primed to all drop to our knees and heil the cucklords long before we got into that shit.

Just my 2 cents…

it doesnt really feel that great

I'm going to sell meth regardless of whether or not I live in a capitalist country, goy. Would you rather my customers rob stores to pay their rent?

there was one post about girls being a rotting pile of bones and flesh, that helps for me

It's easy sailing after the second month.

>>4319

Go ahead, but write down how you feel after.

>>4320

>>4321

Its getting worse

Now i fap twice a day everyday to Elsa (sometimes Anna) porn

>>4682

We're still here, buddy. Don't give on yourself, you daft cunt!

don't look at porno at all even if you don't plan on wanking it because you will regardless of your plans

if you don't touch it you can't masturbate

>>4710

Why don't you just read the other threads?

>>4712

Yeah, we seriously need a sticky thread for tips, or some infographs.

I'm not going to fap.

I'm not going to eat candy or other sweets.

I'm not going to drink milk, or eat anything with soy in it.

I'm going to work out.

I'm going to study harder.

I'm going to dedicate my life to my folk.

Delete all your stored porn, Hillary your drives with bleachbit or eraser6 so it can't be recovered, install K9 webfilter if you're on Windows, Pluckeye if you're on Linux or Mac.

Making it less accessible helps a lot, particularly if the stuff you're into is hard to find as it is. Of course you still need self control to stop yourself from breaking through these obstacles.

>>4587

hey anon thanks for the K9 recommendation

looks like its what im looking for. was trying to use those firefox addons at first and they wouldnt have any exceptions like blocking 8chan and shit

was able to put in exceptions

cheers

>doing nofap

>habitually using imageboards

You're going to have a bad time.

>That pic

>That card that says 'Get well soon!'

I laugh every time.

For real though, I used to browse halfchan /d/ but I switched over to halfchan /h/ a little while back, and then normal porn, and then only clothed softcore for the past month in preparation for no PMO 2017. It might take a while to adjust, force yourself if you have to, but as long as you stay away from that /d/ shit you'll make it eventually.

Baby steps my dude, trying to go cold turkey from where you are will just make you relapse
