    I'm on day 169 of SR and I don't have intrusive lustful thoughts and fantasies any more. It's like a burden has been lifted and given me internal peace. I also no longer need any validation or ego food, which leads to even more peace.

    Another goldmine of a channel brother - I’ve been on no fap / sr for almost 2 years now, it’s been amazing. Rather than rely on fiddling with yourself, I’ve met real women & built great connections. Now I’m working on controlling my urges & not falling into the trap of having meaningless hook ups.

    Childlike happiness is exactly what happens. I have chosen celibacy because the only way I am willing to have sex is within a romantic relationship but too many people just want something casual which doesn’t benefit me so celibacy all the way.

    Been single and celibate for 2 1/2 years. I am done with people. I love myself. But now I am happy in my lonesome. Passionate to play video games by myself. I have MS so I am not really that able any how. I am learning that being single and celibate is preferable for me. Solitude has peace.

    Hey Evan, you’re my favorite TH-camr right now.
    Your videos perfectly match where I am. Semen retention, meditation, journaling, Indian spirituality, the Ashtavakra Gita, universal love, etc. Just like you I also went through some shit early in life that shattered my self esteem (in my case bullying/social rejection) and caused depression. Even the content you have about people pleasing/nice guy syndrome is relevant to me, as I chose the “fawn response” when I was bullied and even now still struggle with assertiveness to some extent.
    I’m healing, and have been especially helped by mushrooms (don’t think you’ve mentioned psychedelics however). I try my best to love myself and approach every situation from a place of love. But I’m still struggling to a small degree. I know it’s false but it’s very hard to not emotionally feel as though sex and validation from women is the ultimate key to happiness, as I’m a 22 year old virgin with a high sex drive. Unfortunately I broke my 11-day semen retention streak (didn’t binge though, just once), now I’m on Day 4 and I’m not failing this time.
    I’ve seen other TH-camrs make videos similar to yours, but their inner hate always shines through. Whether it’s shaming promiscuous women as evildoers, asserting that porn and promiscuity were forced onto us by intentionally malicious “globalist elites”, or believing they’re literally engaged in “spiritual warfare” with Satan. They can’t let go of directing hatred towards a perceived adversary. Your channel has none of that, just love for all beings.
    I’ve seen your channel grow just in the past week. Your channel is going to blow up 📈

    ♡ • So true, I was never a highly sexual person - but in 2016 a sudden death triggered my spiritual awakening, dark night, deception, & eventual shamanic initiation. Monastic/ascetic life of abstinence has led me back to a state of peace only comparable to childhood.

    It’s a heck of a journey going all the way down to the bottom and coming back up… the “incels” as you mentioned is a very unique journey that a soul chooses to embark on but if accomplished coming around full circle it’s quite the accomplishment that is noticed in the persons aura or energy. I don’t recommend this unless you are divinely lead and protected to do so. For me it was my faith and trust in The Lord Jesus Christ Yeshua. Unless the Lord builds it the person labors in vain 🙏🏻 respectfully I tell you that I wouldn’t be alive if I didn’t have the guidance and protection (going down to Sheol) from The Most High God. He gave His angels charge over me. Thank You Lord Jesus 💯

    Question staying celebate until you get married if you don't or haven't met the one as they say, and still stay celebate, does that mean you are an incel thanks,

    • @ActiveAussie2024
      @ActiveAussie2024 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, an incel is a man who really wants sex and who is unable to obtain it no matter what he seems to do. He may be very ugly or too short, or both. That is called a "trucel". A man who is just "voluntarily celibate" so to speak ( volcel) is not really an incel. A real incel may also get love and lust confused, obviously they are two different things.

    Hey Evan, I'm on day 60 of nofap/ semen retention and I am still not feeling any better. I am coming from a severe porn addiction. Will it take more time for my brain to rewire or should I look into working on my self esteem? I am starting to feel discouraged.

    • @myselfasevan

      @jorge-u3u2e ปีที่แล้ว

      @@myselfasevan A couple weeks ago, I woke up with a massive sense of desperation which gave way to a sense of urgency for self-improvement. It is almost so strong that it paralyzes me. I am struggling with implementing all the positive well being things that I have been learning about such as mindfulness, journalling, self-compassion, etc. It’s almost like “where do I start?”, it seems like such a massive mountain to start climbing. I am having feelings of stagnation and restlessness. I also feel a deep sense of regret and shame to having wasted most of my 20’s to this hedonistic pleasure. Sometimes when I have social interactions with people, my mind will remind me that I am a porn addict and that tends to take me out of the conversation and bring a low mood. I have not yet found a new found sense of self assurance that I was hoping to find by doing nofap/SR. Perhaps I am still in a flat line as this habit has been going on for 10 years, multiple times a day with increasingly more extreme content. It is perhaps naïve to think that 60 days could heal 3500 days of bad habits. Even though I am discouraged in my progress, my resolve is still very strong as I know PMO does not bring me any positive outcomes. Thank you for creating these videos and taking the time to reply to my comments, I really appreciate it.
