The thing that helped me those most is to stop being so obsessed with it. All someone has to do is just decide (ONCE AND FOR ALL) to stop doing it, or to make it a certain date. And then literally just forget about it. There’s no need to get so infatuated with it where it becomes an essential part of your life. Just decide. And completely forget about it, since you made a definite decision. At that point you can get on with your life.
Jesus Christ loves everyone. He died for all of us. All you have to do is accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and repent from your sins and He will save you. He will forgive you and grant you eternal life in Heaven.
🤣 there are still people who can believe that wow. As I said many times in my past life I am 32 and ever since I was 8 I was helping a church worker asking her to show me God so I can finally feel him he just doesn't show I'm 32 still hasn't shown I'm asking every single freaking pastor every single person who really seems like he or she has the connection or communication with the lord and no one was ever able to make me actually feel it of course I can make myself believe or how do you say that pathologically light to myself and then make the connections in my own brain myself but that's not how it should work I should actually be communicating with the higher power or the god or whatever at least still him or I should know he is here. Believe has a big word inside it it's a lie. If you have to believe it means it's not there once something is there you don't have to believe it anymore believe it or not it is there and I don't feel the same way I wish I did
@@danilosljivaPut belief aside. In my experience it’s not belief, it’s simply faith and feeling. EVERYONE can have faith and feel the divine within them if they really try. It has nothing to do with others, everyone has their own connection. It does not depend on others. Also in my experience, this is done by raising your consciousness. You raise your consciousness by raising your rate of vibration (google the vibrational chart, it goes from shame/guilt at the bottom to courage to enlightenment at the highest end). You do this through serving others AND yourself in order to become a better person for yourself for the world. For example, exercise, makes you better, raises your vibration. Gratitude practices, meditation, prayer, helping an old lady with her groceries. All these things will increase your connection. But you also have to be open to it first, it’s always there but of course you have to consciously tap in. Be the light in the world, become the kind of person you wish to see in others. I recommend a short book called Feeling Is The Secret by Neville Goddard (40 pages) Not forcing anything on you but your comment inspired these thoughts and I hope they find you well. Much love ❤
@@daddytachanka8076 I absolutely agree. This is like the best reply I've ever gotten 😅 It's just that usually when some Christian reader finds a comment that makes him feel bad for some reason (example. somebody talking about sex with 2+ women when the Christian male believer knows he cannot do that) so he has to make the other person also feel bad by pointing out that "the bible says if your doing that you are doomed for eternity.. or saying a quote from the bible or words like: you better repent and turn to Jesus and so on. Like you are saying it's not about that it's about the state of mind exactly I am in contact with the "higher powers"for 2 and a half years already so I know exactly the feeling. And just talking to the high power sort of how would you say communicating with them is pointless unless you're getting some new information that you usually wouldn't get in your life without the higher powers.
Just passed 5 years of Nofap and cold showers thanks to your introduction to these life practices brother! I appreciate you and hope you enjoy your day
@@hi-ic2nb eventually fapping leads you back to porn. Avoid it in the first place as human beings are not meant to be masturbaiting with their hands. It ruins the experience of sex and one who masturbaits always has a harder time finishing in sex because he is so used to deriving pleasure from his hands that now he has to rewire his brain and reverse the process in his brain.

The best I did was 1 Year. Then I got married so then that of course not needed anymore. But Now that I am divorced hoping to go again maybe longer this time.
Respect homie. I’m digging the vibes. I’m almost 2 weeks strong and I haven’t had much anxiety or nearly as many confidence issues these last few weeks. And believe it or not I’m doing so much better in school right now. I wrote an exam the other day and I was pulling information out my brain like it was nothing. It hasn’t been like that for the last 6 months. Great video, much respect to you.
@Dan-ot9lc yeah, I've made a excel sheet of 30 days just to mark and that's it, no remembrance any more, maybe after I hit 30 days I would count no more. Your point is valid
aanghel I discovered NoFap through your videos because I had a serious hardcore porn addiction that made me ill and I had to take a month off from school in late 2017 junior year of highschool. I discovered your videos when the channel was named mikkois and had around 30 or 40K subscribers around early 2018 or late 2017 but haven't watched you in a while. I have been practicing NoFap on and off because I struggled with having no willpower. But about 12 days ago I made a decision to take it serously. I'm 12 days NoFap. I have not gone this long since August 2023.
Keep strong brother I was 10 days but I failed because I looked to mutch at girls on TH-cam so avoid looking at hot girls and keep doing what you do inshallah
@@milliondollarman13 It's a long story but I was doing it a lot everyday up to 10 times and watching porn until 3:30 am in the morning and then that led to insomnia where I couldn't sleep for 21 days straight and that led to me losing my appetite which caused me to lose a lot of weight. I was 87 pounds and 5'4" at that time.
It comes down to a split second decision to how one moment can change the outcome. I speak for myself and I'm sure others that we can do better. We can't let an urge overpower and ultimately get stuck in this pattern of relapse. Well said, brother. Your decision this moment matters.
I got what I needed from this video and swiped it away. But what you said resonated so heavily that I figured I’d leave a like to encourage you to help preaching. And then said, “hmmm, might as well comment to”. So here I am. Bless you bro.
Salam from Yemen, I would like to thank you for the initiative and the efforts you made to make this video. Many guys with similar issues would prefer have this guide from someone who went through the same journey, same experience. You gave answers to most of the issues a guy in our age struggles with. All respect to you Anghel !
Been watching you for years man. You've helped me so much on my journey. After finally overcoming this addiction, I wanted to make sure to drop a comment to thank you for all the advice along the way. Thank you brother, keep it up.
Hey man i just wanted to say i been a fan of your channel for a long time now man, i kind of want to burst out crying cuz you helped me go through my depression, i just wanted to thank you for your videos . God Bless you!
Every decision we make is a choice. We make thousands of decisions every single day from the moment you wake up. Some automatic, others thought out. Keep in mind, a mistake made repeatedly is a willful choice. It becomes habit. Don't get stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage. - Note to self ✔️
love you bro. I swear you're one of my fav ppl on the internet. always feel so inspired by all your content and your compassionate message. appreciate you fr.
My problem has always been rationalizing my behavior as a reward for good actions, ex. "I hit the gym hard this morning, worked hard at work, and since I make good money and people like me, it's okay if I drink/PMO tonight." Problem is, while those aforementioned facts are true, I'm not truly "special" nor "phenomenal". Good and relatively successful? I guess, but not to a level I could be sincerely proud of, since in the back of my mind, I know I haven't been living up to my utmost potential. Anyway, I've abstained from those things for ~month now, and I have no desire to go back. Videos like yours remind me why I need to continue steering clear. Thanks again for your perspective.
Ain’t NOOOOO WAY bro on god I was thinking of your channel earlier today and now it’s on my feed… haven’t watched your vids in years but that’s an awesome feat man 🔥
Great insight brother. Little sins against yourself add up. Even something as trivial as looking at your phone first thing in the morning when you should be getting ready. If one doesn’t utterly dedicate themselves in every moment to living virtuously then don’t be surprised when you find yourself in hell and relapsing.
You were one of the first people to introduce this concept to me when I was in college, back in 2017. At the time, I had a failing relationship, which ended in 2019. Time flies, and this practice has slowly become a lifestyle, influencing other aspects of my life in nothing but positive ways: physical, mental, and Buddhist practice. Thank you. 🙏🏽
something that helps me: a surrender practice. all you have to do is surrender to whatever feeling. pain, love, impulse. that doesn’t mean you feed the impulse or the pain. you surrender to the feeling it self. you don’t engage with it. hope it helps.
You made a decision and took the action. I love the Skyrim analogy. You explained it all so eloquently. All our choices have consequences just like our side quests/main quests in the video game we called life. Thank you for your perspective. It gave me more power to charge forward and achieve my goals in 2024 and beyond.
Life is like a videogame, you always relapse and relapse but your process is never lost, it is up to us to reach the last level to improve yourself and put a story and an end to what you always wanted to be as a man. 🙏🏼🤲🏼☝🏼 Month NF number 5 February 2024 thanks.
@@coyote7216 Weeeell still on a streak but yesterday i had a wet dream :( i don't know what happened, i was very tired but i dreamed that, maybe it was my thoughts (in the day) and right now I'm trying to survive this month, I hope to help you 🫰🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼
I watched your videos in my youth and i started my journey for 8 month no fail but i failed and later down the line in my years it consumed me again on and off cycles. But i have stopped recently reading the bible and being stronger as a person. But now that ive found you again i know its time to stop and become 1:32 serious
I love how you kept your cool when the dog charged at you but told us how shook you were on the inside 😂😂 much love for the advice brother may Allah keep us all stead fast ❤
Brother, you have come a lomg way. It's been 5+ years since I've seen you. You were a key inspiration and I see still are sparking the hearts of our young brothers. GOD Bless you
I started nofap before nofap existed. Found out by myself in around 2010. So I am on nofap since 14 years. I can tell you it is not as simple as people try to put it. I learned a lot during this journey…
@@aanghel Thanks for asking. I always thought to start a channel myself on this topic, but felt YT is overcrowded and the topic is old. But ok here is my summary story in one comment :) In the beginning for me it was amazing: Like I had superpowers. Intelligence. Strength, Charisma grew day by day I had this phase of being proud for having like 100 days in a row or 300 days in a row. At the same time I felt much worse after masturbation or ejaculation than other people. I think since the body is not adjusted to strong hormonal spikes anymore that well the highs from Nofap get less after years it is more like a good baseline, the lows can get worse, especially if you believe masturbation is bad/ evil… If your ego gets so attached to being a Semen Retention Alpha Male… then masturbation becomes a break of your values and makes you feel very bad. My friends who never think about such things in my eyes started to have the superpower to be able to masturbate/ watch porn as much as they want and feel happy and chilled about it. I was wondering how?? I am f…ing working for my energy and happiness with discipline for years, am proud of that. And for the people around me it is like: Hmm why are you doing this? This is unhealthy and they actually look and feel much more chilled than I although they masturbate….also I felt that after years of nofap people who masturbate seem to enjoy the little things much more than I I realized the people who masturbate and do not think so much about it usually are not that energetic/ charismatic, but also they do not have those extreme lows. They found their own balance. Nad their pleasure chakra is working well. They drive like 50miles/h through life. If you are a semen retention person, you are like a 200 miles/h person who crashes once in a while very hard. E.g. due to semen retention I had energy to build a big business with 60h/ week work + did my masters degree. But then one day I did masturbate and felt so bad, but still had my responsibilities now on top. This quickly led me into burnout. Since I could handle the pressure during nofap and build a life that demands a lot of energy. But after ejaculation you cannot handle this life and need to kind of pause your life for 4-7 days to get back on track. This leads to psychological pressure that is difficult to sustain over the years. Then I had a phase for years where I said ok. It is unsustainable, I need a ratio. I tried like 2weeks nofap + 2x masturbate in one day. and then 2-3 days of taking off from work/ life. Or 3 weeks vs. 2x-3x masturbate. ( I realized after a longer time of nofap only 1x masturbation after 3-4 weeks feels worse than 2x or 3x masturbation) Because the body gets the best sperms out first, later the older sperms get out during 2x or 3x masturbation. So best is to do it 2x or 3x in a row, if your intention is to regenerate / rejuvinate the sperms and prostate. My conclusion after 14 years: 1) If you want to never masturbate or have ejaculations: You need a monk like lifestyle with the goal towards some sort of enlightenment, since the energy grows and the material world becomes meaningless. The body is there to reproduce. I felt very under pressure non stop, depressed due to suppression if I tried to live monk like life in the western world, where you need to pay taxes. The pleasure chakra at the bottom starts to be inactive so nothing in this world feels pleasurable or satisfying anymore after a while. 2) If you want to live a lifestyle with nofap: what helped me was to do a ratio like 3 weeks vs. 2x masturbate. Best is to masturbate with the intention to heal, to rejuvenate and regenerate sperms and pray to god or whatever you believe in to make it a rejuvenation process for health. Do not watch pornographic content, since it will spike your dopamine levels. Also it can lead back to addiction + self worthlessness issues. Know: Building a tower with a ton of energy (on semen retention) and realizing on top that you have no energy to get back down ( after masturbation) can get you into big crushing experiences like burnout. 3) If you do semen retention, know that the creative power grows and wants to be expressed as life. So as all religions found out over thousands of years: best is to have a wife and once in a while have sex out of love , have children. They will recieve all your love and energy. Plus the man gets even more motivated and driven to work hard for his family. This is natural and sustainable. 4) Everyone is different. I have 3 friends who masturbate every day. And I am wondering : They are managers at their jobs, have 100-200k /y income, are happy, have girlfriends and so on. They make no big deal out of it. They tell me for them it is like going to pee once in a while the body wants this. Also if you are on nofap do not make a religion out of it, this creates placebo effects that might destroy you mentally. All you are doing is finding a different kind of balance, using your semen more consciously, getting in control over your hormones and energy. So you are most of the time above the average person energy baseline. But also you have more extremes: Extreme happiness, extreme sadness, extreme Aggression …. There is definetly more to my journey. But now I need to get up and work :) I wish all of you a good day and may you be blessed and live for the purpose to make the world a better place for everyone :) „We are all here to walk each other home“ ~Ram Dass
Thank you very much for these insights. May I ask you at what age you started back in 2010? I once read that a person who completes a 12 year periodof not consciously ejaculating steps directly into a samadhi state of being. Greets from germany :)@@user-zl5pu2cr5r
yk whats crazy, i started to look at life like a video game, and i feel like ive been sm more efficient and productive with my goals bro, it rlly works man.
Finally a someone claiming to be on nofap for that long that radiates the retention benefits and is actually living it, you're big inspiration brother :) Crystal clear eyes,the glow and a voice that can crack mountains yet is so soothing and comforting to hear. Gratefull that youtube recomended me this.
Asalamu alaikum brother, I’m a gamer too. Your description was spot on. I’ve been struggling with this for the past few years but I had great streaks here and there with life changing moments/experiences. I remember watching your videos years ago and seeing you now evolve into this person is amazing. Keep going brother peace and love ❤️
True Bro, it not just about keeping ur hands free...its about the mind set u get in, once ur in it u don't want to go back...ur on beast grind mode...take control of ur mind...ur going to slip a lot at first...but weeks turn into months 💪 plus ur hina helps ya now
exactly first thing you said, every decision and action dictates you’re life. God puts you in scenarios to do sins and also good, you decide what you do.
Hey Brother, You just changed my whole day around I swear to God! I'm on my computer, which usually means fap time is going to happen at some point, but I haven't seen U in a while so I watched this vid. You saved my life today.....permanently I think. I can grasp the concept of making many small "right" decisions throughout the day, because I've got making many small bad ones down pat. I appreciate you and how I feel in this moment more than words can say. Huge love Champ... Thank you from my soul.
You and I got this bro. No trip. Don’t worry about the relapses in your past or even your past. Live in the present and know you’ve made the right decision. Trust
@@jayboi7565 Thanks for getting back to me my dude. I appreciate you and all that you do. Thanks for the encouragement. You have a calm, confident coolness about you that is centered, grounded, and cool AF. Like you know exactly who the fuck you are! I wish to emulate that.
thats wild 8 years thats brazyyyyy my best was 5 months currently rn im at 2 months m finna be going for ODDDDD long g. Ive sinned greatly on porn g to the point where a actual jezebel spirit attached to me. The only thing that helped get this spirit out of my brain was praying to jesus and going to church. Im not joking at all i would hear this voice this women evil jin voice that kept saying " i like him" " i like him" i also kept having dreams abt the name lilith. Im never going back to lust.
Bodily desires kills the soul ❤❤ Celibacy here and I tell you my brothers, when you read the bible and serve the creator,you on a different level,because youre eating spiritual food ❤❤❤ fast and praying every day and building a relationship with the father ❤❤❤ because our soul is either go to heaven or hell
Listen up, this is DEEP! Before the Heavens, before light and darkness, time and space, directions, like above and below, before places, the earth, skies and everything … the Creator existed! Everything was created by the Creator, and the Creator does not need or resemble anything in anyway whatsoever! Whatever you imagine in your mind, the Creator is different from it! The Creator is not a man, but the Creator of man! Using our minds, we know this whole word MUST have a Creator, and likewise, using our minds we know the Creator is not a man or human! Jesus was a Prophet of the Creator. Jesus needed to eat, drink, sleep, and had many other needs. The one who has needs is weak and imperfect, and clearly not the Creator of the world! This is the belief of Islam! It makes sense, and the mind testifies to its truthfulness!
still remember when u first posted the no fap journey ahead was still in highschool ( first youtuber that helped me ground myself during derealization / depersonalization episode) & damn i’m glad to see u still motivating ppl on here ❤
Love you bro from another side of the world for sharing this perspective of yours and bringing the knowledge in sitting down with your decisions and actions or acting quickly on it. You described what I do when I relapse I can be in the middle of about to do something and instant I hop on the device and in along those moments it hits my thought to closely relapsing and then really having that lure me in. I gotta keep this in mind because it’s in us to make those decisions and walk away from it. I’ve practiced it enough times to know what u talked about so now it’s time to stick it and drill it in my head and if I feel I’m about to relapse just take a pause like u do in a video game before u make the decision and think about the outcome of it before hand. Thankfully im tired of this pattern of mine and with this tip I can’t wait to make it out completely it’s annoying and draining my actions determine what my future is like or going to be.
@@aanghel thank you bro definitely will keep that in mind it’s a vicious cycle. I appreciate u sharing your experience and knowledge really put me in a head space this afternoon this is why people like u I keep around we gotta help each other out and be a community to keep each other away from things that aren’t healthy.

Aye 🤲🏽 happy to see you overcame it my brother and that I had a part to play in it
Hey man i just wanted to say i been a fan of your channel for a long time now man, i kind of want to burst out crying cuz you helped me go through my depression, i just wanted to thank you for your videos . God Bless you!
Aye ❤️ happy to hear this my brother. God bless 🤲🏽
Every decision we make is a choice. We make thousands of decisions every single day from the moment you wake up. Some automatic, others thought out.
Keep in mind, a mistake made repeatedly is a willful choice. It becomes habit. Don't get stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage.
- Note to self ✔️
First 30 seconds into the vid and I already know this dude is speaking facts! 🗣️💯
love you bro. I swear you're one of my fav ppl on the internet. always feel so inspired by all your content and your compassionate message. appreciate you fr.
Aye happy to be of help my brother. 🤲🏽
Hell yeah man, same. Just found this channel today.
My problem has always been rationalizing my behavior as a reward for good actions, ex. "I hit the gym hard this morning, worked hard at work, and since I make good money and people like me, it's okay if I drink/PMO tonight." Problem is, while those aforementioned facts are true, I'm not truly "special" nor "phenomenal". Good and relatively successful? I guess, but not to a level I could be sincerely proud of, since in the back of my mind, I know I haven't been living up to my utmost potential.
Anyway, I've abstained from those things for ~month now, and I have no desire to go back. Videos like yours remind me why I need to continue steering clear. Thanks again for your perspective.
What's PMO
Ain’t NOOOOO WAY bro on god I was thinking of your channel earlier today and now it’s on my feed… haven’t watched your vids in years but that’s an awesome feat man 🔥
Great insight brother. Little sins against yourself add up. Even something as trivial as looking at your phone first thing in the morning when you should be getting ready.
If one doesn’t utterly dedicate themselves in every moment to living virtuously then don’t be surprised when you find yourself in hell and relapsing.
Exactly bro
You were one of the first people to introduce this concept to me when I was in college, back in 2017. At the time, I had a failing relationship, which ended in 2019. Time flies, and this practice has slowly become a lifestyle, influencing other aspects of my life in nothing but positive ways: physical, mental, and Buddhist practice. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Happy it helped bro
I heard this mans voice and pressedthe subscribe button immediately.
❤️
Pause
something that helps me: a surrender practice. all you have to do is surrender to whatever feeling. pain, love, impulse. that doesn’t mean you feed the impulse or the pain. you surrender to the feeling it self. you don’t engage with it. hope it helps.
Could you just simplify this please
WE often have no control over what we see on the internet. It can be a dangerous place.
This is very true.
I'm so grateful for you dude, wish you all the best in your life
🤲🏽
You made a decision and took the action. I love the Skyrim analogy. You explained it all so eloquently. All our choices have consequences just like our side quests/main quests in the video game we called life. Thank you for your perspective. It gave me more power to charge forward and achieve my goals in 2024 and beyond.
Aye 🤲🏽❤️
Your voice is Amazing man!!!
you are such a gigachad. thank you for your wisdom. I totally agree with you
🤲🏽
Invaluable advice, thanks brother!
I got you my brother
Excellent work discussing the effects of causality, consequence and effects and the way it affects us.
Life is like a videogame, you always relapse and relapse but your process is never lost, it is up to us to reach the last level to improve yourself and put a story and an end to what you always wanted to be as a man. 🙏🏼🤲🏼☝🏼

Ameen my brother
You Made a Decision, And you took an Action. That´s it! ( well said )
You either create the patterns, or they are created for you. That's it right there.
My brother. Fellow no-fapper. This is a great video and I appreciate you. Thanks man. And be well.
Simple, yet deeply important.
respect man, it was nice to see this video. i watched this twice.
I started nofap before nofap existed. Found out by myself in around 2010.
So I am on nofap since 14 years.
I can tell you it is not as simple as people try to put it.
I learned a lot during this journey…
What are your key takeaways from being that far in on your journey
@@aanghel
Thanks for asking. I always thought to start a channel myself on this topic, but felt YT is overcrowded and the topic is old.
But ok here is my summary story in one comment :)
In the beginning for me it was amazing: Like I had superpowers. Intelligence. Strength, Charisma grew day by day I had this phase of being proud for having like 100 days in a row or 300 days in a row. At the same time I felt much worse after masturbation or ejaculation than other people. I think since the body is not adjusted to strong hormonal spikes anymore that well the highs from Nofap get less after years it is more like a good baseline, the lows can get worse, especially if you believe masturbation is bad/ evil… If your ego gets so attached to being a Semen Retention Alpha Male… then masturbation becomes a break of your values and makes you feel very bad.
My friends who never think about such things in my eyes started to have the superpower to be able to masturbate/ watch porn as much as they want and feel happy and chilled about it. I was wondering how?? I am f…ing working for my energy and happiness with discipline for years, am proud of that. And for the people around me it is like: Hmm why are you doing this? This is unhealthy and they actually look and feel much more chilled than I although they masturbate….also I felt that after years of nofap people who masturbate seem to enjoy the little things much more than I
I realized the people who masturbate and do not think so much about it usually are not that energetic/ charismatic, but also they do not have those extreme lows. They found their own balance. Nad their pleasure chakra is working well.
They drive like 50miles/h through life.
If you are a semen retention person, you are like a 200 miles/h person who crashes once in a while very hard.
E.g. due to semen retention I had energy to build a big business with 60h/ week work + did my masters degree. But then one day I did masturbate and felt so bad, but still had my responsibilities now on top. This quickly led me into burnout.
Since I could handle the pressure during nofap and build a life that demands a lot of energy. But after ejaculation you cannot handle this life and need to kind of pause your life for 4-7 days to get back on track. This leads to psychological pressure that is difficult to sustain over the years.
Then I had a phase for years where I said ok. It is unsustainable, I need a ratio. I tried like 2weeks nofap + 2x masturbate in one day. and then 2-3 days of taking off from work/ life.
Or
3 weeks vs. 2x-3x masturbate.
( I realized after a longer time of nofap only 1x masturbation after 3-4 weeks feels worse than 2x or 3x masturbation)
Because the body gets the best sperms out first, later the older sperms get out during 2x or 3x masturbation. So best is to do it 2x or 3x in a row, if your intention is to regenerate / rejuvinate the sperms and prostate.
My conclusion after 14 years:
1)
If you want to never masturbate or have ejaculations: You need a monk like lifestyle with the goal towards some sort of enlightenment, since the energy grows and the material world becomes meaningless. The body is there to reproduce. I felt very under pressure non stop, depressed due to suppression if I tried to live monk like life in the western world, where you need to pay taxes.
The pleasure chakra at the bottom starts to be inactive so nothing in this world feels pleasurable or satisfying anymore after a while.
2) If you want to live a lifestyle with nofap:
what helped me was to do a ratio like 3 weeks vs. 2x masturbate. Best is to masturbate with the intention to heal, to rejuvenate and regenerate sperms and pray to god or whatever you believe in to make it a rejuvenation process for health.
Do not watch pornographic content, since it will spike your dopamine levels. Also it can lead back to addiction + self worthlessness issues.
Know: Building a tower with a ton of energy (on semen retention) and realizing on top that you have no energy to get back down ( after masturbation) can get you into big crushing experiences like burnout.
3) If you do semen retention, know that the creative power grows and wants to be expressed as life. So as all religions found out over thousands of years: best is to have a wife and once in a while have sex out of love , have children. They will recieve all your love and energy.
Plus the man gets even more motivated and driven to work hard for his family.
This is natural and sustainable.
4) Everyone is different. I have 3 friends who masturbate every day. And I am wondering : They are managers at their jobs, have 100-200k /y income, are happy, have girlfriends and so on.
They make no big deal out of it. They tell me for them it is like going to pee once in a while the body wants this.
Also if you are on nofap do not make a religion out of it, this creates placebo effects that might destroy you mentally.
All you are doing is finding a different kind of balance, using your semen more consciously, getting in control over your hormones and energy. So you are most of the time above the average person energy baseline.
But also you have more extremes: Extreme happiness, extreme sadness, extreme Aggression ….
There is definetly more to my journey. But now I need to get up and work :)
I wish all of you a good day and may you be blessed and live for the purpose to make the world a better place for everyone :)

Thank you very much for these insights. May I ask you at what age you started back in 2010? I once read that a person who completes a 12 year periodof not consciously ejaculating steps directly into a samadhi state of being. Greets from germany :)@@user-zl5pu2cr5r

SubhanAllah didn‘t know this is possible? May Allah reward you as much as possible.
Didn’t know what is possible?
yk whats crazy, i started to look at life like a video game, and i feel like ive been sm more efficient and productive with my goals bro, it rlly works man.
High vibrational talk
Finally a someone claiming to be on nofap for that long that radiates the retention benefits and is actually living it, you're big inspiration brother :) Crystal clear eyes,the glow and a voice that can crack mountains yet is so soothing and comforting to hear. Gratefull that youtube recomended me this.
Aye 🤲🏽
Asalamu alaikum brother, I’m a gamer too. Your description was spot on. I’ve been struggling with this for the past few years but I had great streaks here and there with life changing moments/experiences. I remember watching your videos years ago and seeing you now evolve into this person is amazing. Keep going brother peace and love ❤️
Walaikumasalam warahmatullah may Allah bless you and make it easy for you bro
Simply put: Every small decision compounds to the current moment which is the result.
Happy to hear someone has really done this❤
You are a wise man who I personally respect after this speech (btw I played Skyrim too).
True Bro, it not just about keeping ur hands free...its about the mind set u get in, once ur in it u don't want to go back...ur on beast grind mode...take control of ur mind...ur going to slip a lot at first...but weeks turn into months 💪 plus ur hina helps ya now
Exactly
Mashallah brother. You're Doing Great work. Keep going
InshaAllah
exactly first thing you said, every decision and action dictates you’re life. God puts you in scenarios to do sins and also good, you decide what you do.
Yeah exactly bro it’s all a test.
You become what your Actions do. Not what you want your actions to do.
Precisely
I like the ideas here man. I am on the same journey and I thank you for your insight.
Thank you brother!!
Hey Brother, You just changed my whole day around I swear to God! I'm on my computer, which usually means fap time is going to happen at some point, but I haven't seen U in a while so I watched this vid. You saved my life today.....permanently I think. I can grasp the concept of making many small "right" decisions throughout the day, because I've got making many small bad ones down pat. I appreciate you and how I feel in this moment more than words can say. Huge love Champ... Thank you from my soul.
Aye ❤️ happy to be of help my brother
You and I got this bro. No trip. Don’t worry about the relapses in your past or even your past. Live in the present and know you’ve made the right decision. Trust
@@jayboi7565 Thanks for getting back to me my dude. I appreciate you and all that you do. Thanks for the encouragement. You have a calm, confident coolness about you that is centered, grounded, and cool AF. Like you know exactly who the fuck you are! I wish to emulate that.
I will take the decision now and start the action help me by your supplication brother 🙏

Thank you my brother❤
Got you bro 🤲🏽

Thanks for your advice brother. The decision has to be made, and it been made. "I am not doing it again"
Great video brotha
thats wild 8 years thats brazyyyyy my best was 5 months currently rn im at 2 months m finna be going for ODDDDD long g. Ive sinned greatly on porn g to the point where a actual jezebel spirit attached to me. The only thing that helped get this spirit out of my brain was praying to jesus and going to church. Im not joking at all i would hear this voice this women evil jin voice that kept saying " i like him" " i like him" i also kept having dreams abt the name lilith. Im never going back to lust.
Bodily desires kills the soul ❤❤ Celibacy here and I tell you my brothers, when you read the bible and serve the creator,you on a different level,because youre eating spiritual food ❤❤❤ fast and praying every day and building a relationship with the father ❤❤❤ because our soul is either go to heaven or hell
Deep. Big brother advice right there
Need this guys skin routine 😅
🤝🏽
Thanks for this video Sigma. Really appreciate it!
🤲🏽
Listen up, this is DEEP!
Before the Heavens, before light and darkness, time and space, directions, like above and below, before places, the earth, skies and everything … the Creator existed! Everything was created by the Creator, and the Creator does not need or resemble anything in anyway whatsoever! Whatever you imagine in your mind, the Creator is different from it!
The Creator is not a man, but the Creator of man! Using our minds, we know this whole word MUST have a Creator, and likewise, using our minds we know the Creator is not a man or human!
Jesus was a Prophet of the Creator. Jesus needed to eat, drink, sleep, and had many other needs. The one who has needs is weak and imperfect, and clearly not the Creator of the world!
This is the belief of Islam! It makes sense, and the mind testifies to its truthfulness!
You can’t control all the consequences of your decisions but you can control how you respond to them
Thanks men! Liked your video. More success to you mate..
Ps: brother, you got a great baritone voice. I’d recommend going into voice over work. Take care man.!
Thanks bro perhaps one day
@@aanghel I hear you man, I hear you.

No better time than now

Love you bro from another side of the world for sharing this perspective of yours and bringing the knowledge in sitting down with your decisions and actions or acting quickly on it.
You described what I do when I relapse I can be in the middle of about to do something and instant I hop on the device and in along those moments it hits my thought to closely relapsing and then really having that lure me in.
I gotta keep this in mind because it’s in us to make those decisions and walk away from it. I’ve practiced it enough times to know what u talked about so now it’s time to stick it and drill it in my head and if I feel I’m about to relapse just take a pause like u do in a video game before u make the decision and think about the outcome of it before hand.
Thankfully im tired of this pattern of mine and with this tip I can’t wait to make it out completely it’s annoying and draining my actions determine what my future is like or going to be.
Remember bro last case scenario just drop everything and get out of the house
@@aanghel thank you bro definitely will keep that in mind it’s a vicious cycle. I appreciate u sharing your experience and knowledge really put me in a head space this afternoon this is why people like u I keep around we gotta help each other out and be a community to keep each other away from things that aren’t healthy.
Happy to help brother
I think I’m like 6
Months now - it’s a non factor in my life now.
Congrats bro. Is it 6 months of just nofap or semen retention (no sex, and nofap)?
Also, what are some of the key changes you have experienced?
