Nofap is pointless if your life revolves around it
Nofap is powerful cuz you save your masculine energy, so that you can put it in your work, improving your life, finding love and so on.
But if you’re fat, lonely, broke and you hit 100-day streak, you’ll just stay fat, lonely and broke. While someone who doesn’t care about relapsing but cares about putting in work to change his life, he’s gonna be happier.
The goal was to live a better life. It wasn't to worry about relapsing every day. And update your streak when you relapse. Why do you even keep a streak?
Get a life. Occupy your mind with something that feels fulfilling. And if one day you relapse, just move on. Don’t stress out, don’t think about it. That’s how you get the benefits of Nofap.
I saw a post of someone saying they relapsed on day 16 and now feel ashamed. I’m like, you did good, bro. You stayed two weeks clean. You slipped, don’t stress out about it. Nofap is supposed to make you feel BETTER, not worse.
It comes from personal experience too. I only managed to ever go clean for a long time without urges messing me up WHEN I focused on something else. Either the gym, or my business, or socializing, or traveling, or smth else.
In the past I gave up another addiction of mine which was binge-eating, sugar and junk-food. So I thought Nofap works similarly. It doesnt. Because when you give up sugar, you dont crave it anymore. But sexual urges will not go away until you’re 50 or 60. So you will give in sometimes.
Feel free to share your thoughts and what you're focusing on rn.
