That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Yeaah... I gave in last night. Went 15 days and the next morning these flood of emotions came out of nowhere.Zebco96 said:I did a little test to see if this stuff was real....
I went 18 days cold. I noticed that I was starting to feel a lot better, had a lot more energy, was more aggressive/confident, etc.
Now I am on day 1. I can tell you this, I regret breaking it. I don't feel near as good as I did, I am considerably less energetic, less social, and less motivated. I can't wait for this week to go by so I can start getting the benefits again.
I have been trying to pass this off as placebo, but even if it is placebo, it works REALLY well and is still worth it. I'm a believer!

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

BJ , handjobs and actual sex isn't equal to fapping right ?
Since we are trying to eliminate reliance on self indulgence and when we are getting it through someone else it can't be fapping.
Also I did watch porn on day 7 I think just to test myself, if it still gets hard or not lol

Yeah i agree it's not going to transform you into a raging alpha beast, but for guys who have watched porn and fapped most of their lives, the benefits are rock solid. Your life can only get better.JoeMarron said:I did the no fap challenge for the first 20 years of my life. No it did not make me a super alpha god. I'm not doubting you guys's experiences but I'd advise other readers to take this with a grain of salt. BTW I don't have a link to it but I remember reading somewhere that no ejaculation PERIOD even during sex is suppose to have positive effects. I wonder if anyone here is willing to try that challenge as well.
Pretty clear data that the testosterone-boosting benefits level out about day 7. The TRUE benefits of no fap are breaking the porn addiction, breaking the compulsive urge to fap, and making yourself more decisive and resolute in other areas of life by this deliberate, continuous act of willpower.J Zhejiang Univ Sci. 2003 Mar-Apr;4(2):236-40.
A research on the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone level in men.
Jiang M, Xin J, Zou Q, Shen JW.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to gain understanding of the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone level in men. The serum testosterone concentrations of 28 volunteers were investigated daily during abstinence periods after ejaculation for two phases. The authors found that the fluctuations of testosterone levels from the 2nd to 5th day of abstinence were minimal. On the 7th day of abstinence, however, a clear peak of serum testosterone appeared, reaching 145.7% of the baseline ( P < 0.01). No regular fluctuation was observed following continuous abstinence after the peak. Ejaculation is the precondition and beginning of the special periodic serum testosterone level variations, which would not occur without ejaculation. The results showed that ejaculation-caused variations were characterized by a peak on the 7th day of abstinence; and that the effective time of an ejaculation is 7 days minimum. These data are the first to document the phenomenon of the periodic change in serum testosterone level; the correlation between ejaculation and periodic change in the serum testosterone level, and the pattern and characteristics of the periodic change.
I highly doubt semen can cross the blood brain barrier. It wouldn't have a purpose too....Fatal Jay said:nah it was another website, I probably wont ever find it
but it explained why old guys in their 50's and 60's end up being ceo's of masjor companies because their sex drives are gone, and their sperm is not being use, which makes them focus more on millions instead of sex.
It broke down the the animals who had sex rarely or no sex, ended up being the alpha males of the sect.
It was talking about how sports athletes disc0veres this a long time ago, like boxers who go 90 days without orgasm because the punches where harder, and the stamina was increased.
It was speaking about how sperm is also used to go throughout your body, even your brain. This site basically broke it down the benefits of not fapping.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
