Re: The Official No Fap 2013 Challenge
[QUOTE=JEFFERSON MONEY]Did without 9 days. Starting to feel iffy about this.
I come off as retarded when I abstain. Like literally a dumbass ape who keeps doing stuff without thought. I couldn't even help my brothers economics homework without re-reading the stuff 3X even though 4 years earlier it took me 10 seconds to grasp the concept. "Young, dumb and full of c.um" certainly rings true here.
However, the energy levels glowing skin and health recovery are awesome. Caught a fever two days ago, only took a bit of carrot juice and am recovering fast. We're talking strep throat level pain in the throat that dissipated 25% over the course of a few hours. There's got to be immune system benefits to it.. spermatogenesis is an expensive biological process. Some say a drop of sperm is worth 100 drops of blood, others say it takes about 2 lemons, a steak, 3 eggs, 2 oranges, and more to cover the nutrients within one busted nut. In my qigong classes they say every time you bust you lose 8 days of practice.
Day after a fresh day I have complete control over my mind.... thoughts are crispier, more lucid, actually can easily say some funny witty things as opposed to other day.
Must find some kind of middle ground. I want both pros lol.
Anyways I'm doing a new 3 month stretch.

^ These are ancient exercises done in Tibet known for their anti-aging properties. A type of yoga if you will. The sixth one is known to kill desire on the spot. It's supposed to be exhaling followed by a hard stomach vacuum.. Going to do this at the feel of a semi and it'll keep you sharp throughout the day.
I want solid control of my mind and energy. Need it for the goals about to undergo.[/QUOTE]
You need to learn how to channel your sexual energy into your mind man. Its quite a feeling. Google it, theres quite a bit of literature on it. Sounds like you know already, but Qi Gong focuses on this. As well as deep diaphragm breathing.

Re: The Official No Fap 2013 Challenge
I *********e 4 times a day on the reg and feel no shame.
If I know I'm not seeing my girlfriend I beat my dick like it'll fall off if I don't.
Wake up: *********e
Exert myself physically and or mentally for any reason I then *********e.
Smoke? Yup time to *********e.
Lay down to sleep & yup you guessed it time to *********e so I can fall asleep.
There's nothing wrong with *********ing
Re: The Official No Fap 2013 Challenge
Some interesting info from a scientific study i found:
"Specifically, retrospective studies have shown that features of semen quality are reduced during long periods of sexual abstinence"
"In contrast, periods of abstinence between 12h and 10 days have generally revealed enhanced sperm quality parameters, although this is not consistent across all measures of sperm quality."
"These investigations demonstrated that *********ion-induced orgasm produced a pronounced increase in cardiovascular responses and plasma catecholamine concentrations. Furthermore, sexual arousal was characterized by a large, persistent increase in concentrations of plasma prolactin. Since hyperprolactinemia is known to inhibit sexual arousal and function, these data suggest that prolactin may act as a peripheral and/or central feedback signal in controlling sexual arousal following orgasm."
"On the other hand, the increased testosterone concentrations may have resulted from enhanced sensitivity to anticipatory cues, since testosterone secretion increases in anticipation of sexual interaction. Thus, the increase in testosterone following abstinence may have resulted from increased anticipation of the erotic film."

Holy sheeet.
The CONCEPT OF SPECULATION.
Why didn't this thing resonate in my head prior?
This is the exact same concept of neurobiologicy of writers. All the great writers in history when creating metaphors or similies or descriptive language don't consciously plan everything they're about to write. it comes up to them. and it's said that the most IMPORTANT MOMENT is the ANTICIPATIOn before they look inwards into their head and try to produce an image. They are at the mercy of their mind's parallel processors. And that was Siddharthas gambling addiction. "He did not live for the rewards, he lived for the intense heartbeat of anxiety that happened prior to rolling the dice."
Hmmm major repercussions in regards to pavlovian conditioning has reared its head.
If a person knew for a fact they'd be getting the nookie after a set week.... how would it affect them behaviorally?
If a man set out to achieve his lifelong goal of becoming an NBA player.... what would be the optimal reward/punishment ratio to get him from point A to point B?
If a depressed mid20s having fellow had a dream, and desired life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; how would he carve his lfiestyle/agenda in regards to punishment/reward for maximum efficacy?
Hmmm... questions questions

Re: The Official No Fap 2013 Challenge

An exercise u can do mentally is get into relaxed aware state and ask your self a question and then images will conjure pm your mental screen directing u to what your subconscious thinks

Indeed. I meditate most days or at least try to. Mindfulness meditation, just gotta focus your attention or awareness solely on your breath and body's sense of feeling/presence. After 5-10 minutes of doing this it makes me clearheaded and my focus sharpens. I believe the longest I ever went without fap was about 30 days and I felt like a beast during that entire time. Exercised like a savage and wanted to go out every single night.
Re: The Official No Fap 2013 Challenge
