@sikandar2907 The urge-overcoming method is there so you donāt have to exercise painful self-control. Just reciting it aloud and picturing your vision banishes the urge. You can do this brother, a hero never backs down from a challenge!
@BenThor How are you doing brother? We havenāt seen you in a while.
@Frankensteinmonster Brother, you can rise up again! Donāt be ashamed, weāve all failed before. Learn from the mistake and move forward.

Socrates on the importance of semen retention
Husband: āKindly instruct me as to how many times a man may have copulation with his wife.ā
Socrates: āOnly once in his life.ā
Husband: āBut if that fails to satisfy him?ā
Socrates: āThen he can have copulation once a year.ā
Husband: āBut if that too doesnāt satisfy him?ā
Socrates: āThen let it be once a month.ā
Husband: āAnd if he is still not satisfied?ā
Socrates: āThen let it be twice a month, but this will cause an early death.ā
Husband: āWhat should he do if he is not satisfied with that either?ā
Socrates: āWell then, do it this way. Dig a grave, purchase a coffin and a shroud for yourself beforehand, then you may spoil yourself as many times as you wish. This is my final advice to you.ā
@Wyatt Donāt worry brother, itās your technique, and itās working! When we eliminate those initial sexual thoughts, thereās nothing available for urges to come from.
Iāve had very few urges on my streak as well since Iāve been purifying my thoughts too. Itās the days where I didnāt keep my thoughts pure that urges came through. Youāre doing very well, continue!

Affirmation- I have no fear or hesitation. The more places i go to, the more powerful i feel.

But Iāve really noticed a decrease in libido and arousal. Iām just looking forward to see what happends after i pass this flatline. I understand i will feel even stronger.

Suggestion for others to refrain from PMO:
Understand the 10 stages of rebooting:
Stage 1: This is when we realize that masturbation is affecting our healthy negatively and we have a thought about quitting. However, after reading about the harmlessness theories of masturbation we are not so determined anymore, we think that masturbation in moderation should do us no harm. This is the very initial stage of rebooting which is characterized by ignorance and naivety. The result: failure!
Stage 2: We gain a small understanding of the harmful effects of masturbation, but not a thorough understanding. The result: failure!
Stage 3: We begin to study other peoplesā experience of rebooting and we try to break our rebooting record. Although we have managed to set a new record on the number of rebooting days we are still unable to break out of the vicious cycle. The result: failure!
Stage 4: This is the confusion stage, after numerous failures, we start to doubt ourselves. At this stage, we are not putting in enough of a fight, no fight no victory! The result: failure.
Stage 5: Our body gives out signals once again and itās clear that our health has deteriorated. Once again we make up our minds to quit and rely helplessly on the brute force method without learning about the correct methods. The result: failure.
Stage 6: We begin to see the harmlessness theory for what it is, that it only works to trick the āchildrenā. This is when we experience a breakthrough in our way of thinking but we still fail to understand why we are unable to quit masturbation. The result: failure.
Stage 7: This is the stage of understanding, gained from reading vast amounts of rebooting articles, we begin to acknowledge spiritual teachings (such as Buddhism) which helps to increase our determination tremendously, we break the 100-day streak. The result: still failure.
Stage 8: The thorough cleansing stage, we are starting to cleanse ourselves both consciously and unconsciously. Once this idea has entered our subconscious we easily break the 200-day barrier. There may come one day when we are browsing the internet and have our guard down or we have been slack in our rebooting studies, we therefore stumble near the finishing line. The result: still failure.
Stage 9: We are almost there now and have become even more careful, our understanding takes on another level. We are no longer affected by dirty thoughts, what we see do not enter our intentions, what other people sees and like we react with caution. We are steady in our heart even amidst rough winds of thoughts. We have discarded the habit of masturbation altogether.
Stage 10: āNothing to begin with, how can nothing stir the dustā. We have come to the highest stage where all things returns to simplicity, just as the āsweeping monkā from Jin Yongās martial art novels. Great skill is hidden in plain site, this is only achieved by the Master.
Tips: Everyone should be able to find their current stage in rebooting, just like in video games we have our levels, once we have reached that level success will come. If our level of understanding is not there we will have a hard time to quit masturbation, for a master there is no difficulty, while mastery is difficult to achieve for a layman. Hopefully, everyone will continue to study rebooting articles, the day when we find our āahaā moment is the day when we can walk away from masturbation for good. For the few bright people with keen minds, they are able to skip over stages just as a bright student is able to skip grades and the poor student will need to remain in the same grade.
Thanks,
Stay Blessed
Schedule of a guy who got into extreme anxiety⦠He came out of that by practicing NoFap and he shared his schedule that he used for reboot process.
Meditation (I meditate for 1hr each day, meditation is the only 1 way to supplement the original essence)
Standing exercise (standing exercise is not performed daily, sitting meditation is performed daily)
Eight Brocade exercise and the Six Healing Sounds (I perform the kidney strengthening exercises of the Eight Brocade daily and occasionally practice the Six Healing Sounds)
Soaking of feet in Chinese traditional herbs (once/week, mugwort leafs)
Meridian tapping exercise (performed regularly)
Moxibustion on meridians (health cultivating moxibustion is performed regularly)
Aerobic exercises (slow jog and ball sports, 1-3 times/week)
Acupressure massage (performed regularly)
Yam, black beans and red dates (eats regularly)
Keeping the diet light
Rest early, sleep before 11 pm
It differs from person to person⦠But please follow some schedule like this ā¦
The first step of quitting masturbation: to change oneās thoughts. This is like quitting a drug addiction, upon entering a drug rehab center the first step is to introduce the patient with correctknowledge in understanding the harmful effect of drugs and cleansing the mind with allerroneous thoughts and beliefs. Many brothers have repeatedly failed to stay clean due to thefailure to recondition their minds, relying on willpower alone to stay clean will only work in theshort run which is quickly followed by failure. We must therefore always stay vigilant in our study of rebooting material. Although Iāve stayed clean for over 2 years, I still study rebooting material daily as well as Traditional Chinese medicine - TCM. This knowledge will act as a firewall and barrier towards masturbation, with the firewall in place we donāt have to be as fearful. Previously I had relied purely on my willpower to quit masturbation, my head was filled with dirty images. Nowadays through changing my thoughts, I would not harbor a dirty thought throughout the entire day, without the thought there can be no masturbation. Therefore I wish to point out a path for everyone so as to minimize the number of detours. I have studied many successful brothers, without except all of these people were adept at cleansing their thoughts. When you are conversing with these people, they will have lots of knowledge to share with you; while they are sharing this knowledge with you they are simultaneous reinforcing their own understanding which helps them in the process of staying clean. Final word: in order to become successful in quitting masturbation one must completely rewire the thoughts, otherwise failure is to follow.
To be successful in rebooting one must be persistent in studying and in raising the level of realization. Pick up the mental weapon of rebooting articles and properly arm the brain. Do not attribute everything to willpower when relapse takes place, one cannot successfully reboot in 100 years by acting that way. Some brothers may say, why do I still relapse despite having studied, my answer is this: the realization has yet to arrive. Raising the realization is a continuous process, you will not successfully reboot by just having read a couple of rebooting articles. As rebooting is a learning, you must constantly study all aspects of it. One needs to combine study with practical experience, learn from the mistakes in relapses, write down more experiences, rehearse what you have learned in order to learn new things, the realization will continue to increase in this way and in time you will have the strength to prevail against the big boss temptation demon. If you donāt study, on the other hand, you will forever remain a rebooting rookie, forever abused by the temptation demon without any strength to fight back.
When rebooting, you must be clear on who your enemy is! Many people have rebooted for a long time without knowing who the enemy is! In reality, the enemy is your own temptation demon. Some people will ask, what is the temptation demon. Actually, it is very easy to explain the temptation demon, in plain words, it is the thought to indulge and the impulse to be depraved. People have this inclination for self-destruction due to the ignorance belonging to a tender age. In the beginning, many people will not think that this is something bad, but when the symptoms appear they start to regret. Rebooting is for one goal only: defeat the temptation demon! The temptation demon is like an animal, the wild horse. You must learn how to tame this wild horse and not let it pull you around. If you are unable to conquer the temptation demon, then you are the slave to desire, sooner or later you will be tangled up in symptoms. To conquer the temptation demon there is but one path, and that is to increase the realization through studying, a high level of realization is able to vanquish the temptation demon.
Another powerful technique is to brainwash yourself by reading articles on Nofap - the benefits of Nofap and the experiences shared by many who is on NoFap with highest number of streaks⦠Learn from them and keep ur brain aware of Nofapā¦
