Just finished reading the initial post of this thread... just magnificent. Wow! Captain B, many thanks for posting about your success, the things you went through and the great suggestions. This to me right now is pure gold, top of the heap. Congratulations on the new life, enjoy it to the fullest, Captain! Here's hoping that I can follow in your footsteps.
Only just read this, and I'm so inspired. Congratulations so much dude! I want to be where you are for definite!
its awesome how you've continued to grow, agree with everyone else its inspiring. Cant wait to get myself in the triple digits
I read your success story when I first came to this site about 17 days ago. It was one of the posts that I really remembered, & I even quoted you somewhere in my journal, forgetting who you were but using AWESOMELAND to identify you. You motivated the hell out of me, and now I'm on my longest no-MO stretch in probably 2 years. Thanks to you and your Fapstronaut brothers for helping me so profoundly.
that's very encouraging, awakened, and i can say a well explained advice i have got.....thank you bro...
Your background sounds so much like mine! I started M at 6 lmao but yh I'll make it to 90 days then stop counting. Such a great story, keep an eye out for me in about 60 days.
H.E Pennypacker. what can I say to you? If you're want to act like a loser and have sex with a computer (and probabily yourself) and see other men doin it with a girl and spend your days thinking "It should be me" fine. Just don't judge others who want to stop with this nonsense.
@H.E Pennypacker: While your post did make me laugh and it does hold a hint of truth, I think you're wrong on most of the things you say. Not to mention there's really no reason for getting so aggressive. Nobody here is trying to force you to stop PMO, it's just a suggestion and you're free to do as you think is right. That being said, there's a difference between taking a shit and masturbating. First of all, most people are here because they feel addicted to masturbation. If you're addicted to masturbation and you do it to such an extent that your life quality decreases (constantly thinking about it, not able to focus, unrealistic expectations of sex, PIED and so on) it's gone way past the simple need to release something. Imagine being addicted to shitting. Now you can compare the two. And I'd applaud a shit-addict if he managed to not take 3 shits a day for the first time. (Can't believe I just wrote that.) Now for the basic need to release semen or fecal matter. It's not the same kind of need. While defecating is literally a vital body function, ejaculating is not. Also, it's not like your balls explode if you don't have sex or masturbate or have wet dreams (because some people actually never have wet dreams, even when abstaining from MO). If you go long periods without ejaculating, you'll just drip any excess semen at times automatically. Mostly when peeing, actually. So in that case, it actually is a bit like defecating. But just as you don't have to force yourself to take a shit when there's no need to, you don't have to force yourself to ejaculate. The body works that out on its own. The point where I do agree with you is that you should ejaculate (one way or another) if your balls actually start to hurt badly. I've gone through that before and in hindsight I think it wasn't right and I won't go through it again. It's like exchanging one unhealthy condition for another. Also, why do you just toss aside all the positive effects people have mentioned here without any reason? It might not work like that for everybody but you can tell from the success stories section, that abstaining from PMO has improved the lives of many people on here. I've actually never seen a post where someone talked about how a full reboot made his/her life worse. So while you're laying in bed laughing at us "dumb fucks", I merely pitty you and hope that you'll understand the points I made. The conclusions you draw from them for yourself are of course entirely up to you. I don't want to tell you what to do, only try to get you to understand my reasons.
AWESOME post man. So inspirational and the best I have read on this website so far! Thanks and congratulations
