Men: No FAP Challenge

[MellyVinelli]

Title says it all.

I've read up over on the bodybuilding forum about refraining from this self-service practice. There appears to be some science from a study conducted in 2003 that shows an increase in Testosterone levels well over baseline at 7 days without fapping.

Benefits you ask?

More energy, better attention, more sex-appeal, and knowing you can control your vices, not the other way around. Doesn't say no secks, but simply no love from the hand allowed.

I am going to take part in this challenge and I encourage any of you guys to join me on this expedition as I believe we can gain a lot of confidence from being in control of our own bodies and taking charge. Subconsciously you will stand taller, speak more clearly, and have an air about your that commands attention. Some call it a placebo, but what have you to lose? Nobody is selling you snake oil. And it frees up that block of time to go out into the world to make something of yourself that you would have spent wasting it on a piece of Kleenex.

Consider this challenge and perhaps we can encourage each other during the tough times and report on the changes we feel.

For those who are perhaps unwilling, consider this as well. Some have posted here regarding a lack of self-confidence and so far haven't found a solution. What have you to lose? It's free!

Here is a link if you are interested:

I didn't take this seriously at first but I really do need to increase my testosterone levels.

 

[EveWasFramed]

Sorry, the link isn't allowed as it has some content that wouldn't be allowed on the forum.

 

[MellyVinelli]

Fine. If it can't be posted here, it ain't too hard to use google and type in No Fap. You'll find others who have taken up the challenge and can attest to how it makes their bodies feel.

Anyhow.

For those who have been single for a long time and have relied on pornography and fapping. I truly believe it contributes to an unrealistic view on women and sex. It also keeps us unfocused and renders us socially removed and less in tune with how to behave around a lady. Those videos only show u a fantasy, not reality. To be successful in the real world one must conquer these vices and be ready in the real world. Perhaps not all are addicted to fapping but for those who are, it's not the end of the world! Now cannot be a better time to take control!

I started on sunday so now onto day 2. It is never too late to start. I will post here regularly and encourage who decide to join! No Fap! No compromise!

umm...my point wasn't to "find others who have taken up the challenge" it was to say the content of your link wasn't acceptable - there were images that wouldn't be acceptable here. It doesnt have anything to do with what you're peddling.

 

[MellyVinelli]

Peddling? That sounds like I have some sort of cheap gimmick to sell. I'm insulted. This is a problem that afflicts a lot of men that I suppose you don't understand. I hope you can at least show some respect and tread lightly around a subject that is difficult to discuss as it is.

However I apologize for the misunderstanding. I only meant to reiterate that since the link was removed, that those interested can find information about it outside this forum.

No need for you to be offended nor insulted. I've been a moderator here for nearly five years - I can assure you that there's NOTHING that I haven't seen discussed on this forum, so you don't need to ask me to have "respect" for a particular subject. Also, please don't assume that just because I'm a female, that I wouldnt understand addiction. It does come in many forms you know.
Now, having said all this, I will remind you that the only comment I made initially was,
"Sorry, the link isn't allowed as it has some content that wouldn't be allowed on the forum."
Now, we will just leave it at that...carry on.

No Fap Challenge thats impossible! I don't play games I will obviously lose by tomorrow!

 

[MellyVinelli]

This isn't a game. This is a lifestyle change. We are here because we suffer from loneliness in some shape or form due to any combination of social anxiety, self-image, or confidence issues. For those who spend a lot of time in this compulsive behavior instead of interacting and having meaningful relationships with real people, think of this as an opportunity to take back control and exercise self-discipline. A man who can resist temptation is a man with discernment and wisdom. That is also a sexy man.

If you are admitting that you can't last past tomorrow, you are indicating that you currently lack the self-control. Is this not a vice that is controlling you? Do you wish to be a slave to this habit?

No doubt this is difficult as I just started this myself. I believe that I will slip and relapse. But I truly believe that this is one area in my life I want to conquer. I want to rewire my brain in more productive ways so that I can have more respect for real women, not pictures or videos. I want to have self-discipline so that I can learn to apply it to all areas of my life. I want to be more mature, more confident in decision-making and have a clear mind not bogged down by an addiction. In following through with this I believe you will have more energy to accomplish the tasks you set out to do.

If this is behavior you have taken part in since pre-puberty, there is a lot of re-wiring to do. The brain will constantly nag at you to give it what it wants. It's a drug.

Nobody can force you to change your lifestyle except for you and I am most certainly not here to busy your balls. If you don't want to, then go away. I wish for this thread to serve those who are committed to taking control back into their own hands with the support of each other.

I am just convinced that this will have a huge impact in my life and I want nothing more than to help people. Like I said before? What have you to lose to put in some perseverance and not give in? You free up time to exercise, become more productive at work, play, the energy and appeal to find that relationship that may have been alluding you.

 

[ippi]

Honestly I barely fap to begin with, only like once a month if it starts to get painful in dem ballz. So I guess I beat your challenge already.

 

[ladyforsaken]

How does the word fap come about anyway?

 

[ardour]

Wasn't there an episode of Seinfeld based around this? "Master of your domain" :rolleyes2:

 

[ippi]

How does the word fap come about anyway?

The sound?

Really? Hmm.

 

[Winterclaw]

Believe it or not, but I haven't 'fapped' in about 4 months (at the very least -- could be half a year), though I get some release through 'wet dreams' in about every 3 or 4 weeks.

 

[MellyVinelli]

I must say I have never experienced wet dreams. Most likely because I've never given my body the opportunity to.

Two weeks has been about as long as I have ever gone and that was not by choice but because of shared accommodation with people in the woods.

Hehe. Lady, just say 'fap' repeatedly in quick succession and see if something comes to mind

 

[SophiaGrace]

Once, i didn't fap for 3 months. True story. It didn't increase my sex drive, my sex drive went away.

True story.

 

[MellyVinelli]

Sorry Sophia, I'm pretty sure for you it's called flicking the bean.

However, after several months of no M, I think it is safe to say the body begins to come around and adapt to it.

I'm going to open this challenge to everyone regardless of sex. If this is a problem for any of you and you want to change your life, you can.

 

[MellyVinelli]

I'm reporting in on day 3. My fiancée just left the house and I'm sitting here by myself again. This will be tough. I just picked up a new song to learn which will probably take up a couple of days to get down good. I like to sing it too to make it interesting. Try to do my taxes and maybe go to the gym. Loneliness and bordeom is my trigger so I must stay busy and if nothing to do, get out of the house.

 

[WildernessWildChild]

....- I can assure you that there's NOTHING that I haven't seen discussed on this forum....

Shhhhh, I'm sure that'll only encourage Pogs to come up with something really f**ked up!
