coom without porn

[Anonymous No.16057700]

I'm more horny and think about sex even more when I'm off nofap.

I did an experiment. I would masturbate 3 to 4 times a day and then if my brothers girlfriend came over I would get erections around her or other women.

When I abstain after a few weeks, i have more control and think about sex less. If I see a woman I can control my arousal more easily whereas when cooming 4 times a day, no control, just like a dog with a bell and a whistle.

okay, what i do to consistently read is to build a habit of it.
when i wake up in the morning, and i've woken up sufficiently, i turn on my reading lamp and begin reading. i read for at least and hour, turn off my reading lamp, and treat myself to a piece of chocolate. if i want to read for longer periods of time i leave my lamp on and eat a piece of chocolate after and hour and return to reading--i make sure to give myself a break at the hour point, along with my chocolate so i can rest.
it doesn't have to be an hour you read for, just so long as you go through the motions, and you don't even have to make progress in what you are reading, as i said, just go through the motions.

simple.

just make a habit of reading when your lamp is on.

It's easy to read knowing the average fuck is wasting their lives binge watching Next Top Model or Friends.

If you read enough porn or erotica, like stuff on Literotica, you can have an orgasm without physically touching your penis, I think.

cue -> habit -> reward
this is how you do it
cue: turn on lamp
habit: read
reward: piece of chocolate

do this and you can focus for hours.

ok fuck off then, sorry im self improving

im talking about less than 15 grams of chocolate, enough for your body to take as motivation but not enough to do anything to your weight. the reward is flexible and can be replaced with something else that your body would work towards wanting; it's just that chocolate and sugar is one of the things your body will go a long way for.

First off, make sure you're actually reading a book that you like. It's easy to lose the will to read if you won't enjoy it when you do. Assuming that that isn't the problem, I'd suggest reading first thing after you wake up. I mean, get out of bed, drink some water, then read. Set an arbitrary goal (10 pages, a chapter, or whatever), and if you're into it after that, there you go. Fuck 4chan; fuck wanking; fuck whatever else you're inclined to do because it's easier. Just read, eat, inhale and exhale when you need to, and after you've read, say, 50 pages, chill out and browse 4chan. You might even find that you no longer give a shit about doing anything other than reading. Build a habit, basically. If that ain't doing it for you, may I recommend YesFap.
