Alright a few days in, breakouts have reduced a bit, especially the inflammation, im glad so far of resultd ill give another update soon

If you ever have problems stopping in one shot, do it in increments of days, for example tell yourself "i won't go for 5 days, then i'll do it, then another 5 days, then i'll do it", it's a lot easier than saying "i'll go for 3 months!", that's almost impossible, as dumb as it sounds, because reasons.

Remember also important tips:
- Never watch porn, no not even chicks in bikinis, it escalates quickly. Delete all porn on your computer and all bookmarks with porn in your browser.
- Write down every day just a line or 2 at least reminding yourself why you're doing this. Be as honest as you can, since it's for you and no one else. Reminding yourself every day why you're doing it helps avoid moments of weakness, or to go through them.
- If you fail, fail that day and that's it. Restart at 0. Doesn't matter if it was a "good" or "bad" fail, move past it without letting it let you down, otherwise it can start affecting you psychologically in the long run. Remind yourself that you're still 99.9% you, you're just a bit drugged up from that dopamine and pleasurable chemicals, and acne might pop up soon. Doesn't matter, keep going and don't give up. Ever.

Took me almost 4 years to get this in control, and each year I was better than the last. Last year i only did it 22 times total. In my first year, i'd do 22 times in a month or 2. Doesn't mean it has to take you that long, just to show you, even for someone as fucked up as me, I kept going at it and overcame it. It's not magic, it's just willpower and replacing bad habits, like not exercising, always staying inside by myself, watching porn, etc.

Good luck.

yourbrainrebalanced.com is a good site for No - Fap motivation. Usually I go 2 weeks and then I look at my face and I fap :(.

Sometimes CP you just have to sort of get angry at yourself and ask yourself "what the hell is wrong with me, I'm acting like an addicted idiot, snap the hell out of it man."

Remember one thing more than any other tip, trick or advice: it is all in your mind, it is all a conscious decision. You just have to convince your mind what you want, and not let your mind convince you of what it wants.

Your mind is a computer, it does what it's been programmed to do, it follows thousands of years of evolutionary impulses. You however, are not your mind. You are your own person, soul, whatever you want call it, and you have to control your own mind in order to become who you want to be. That's true in this experiment, and in everything else in life as well.

Hey bro I didnt masturbate for like a week and I realized my face got a lot better and when i did masturbate again it got worse, i'm joining you bro.

Crazyinternetman, thank you for the great tips on porn/masturbation addiction info

Guillermo

I am doing this too! Sadly, not the best days for me in regards to willpower . Those who are interested just google "no pmo" or "no fap" for more details on benefits and why people like me are doing it. Pretty insane benefits worth checking!! Huge list here:  https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/1hv6j9/a_compilation_of_benefits_people_have_noticed/  . Astonishing benefits !

My personal record is 1 month no pmo. Do not ask changes in acne because I did not logged. So, tomorrow will be Day 1. For today I have like 4 pimples on my face, so let's begin logging!

Welcome to our group, mantasva.
Thanks for the link, very interesting and motivating. Goid luck to you and update us on your results.

Guillermo

I will! Today is Day 1. 

I didn't masturbate in almost 2 years now, I remember it didn't really help, but it did stop me from wasting time and makes me slightly more energetic!
If I sleep with someone, I don't seem to breakout after either
It might be a trigger for some people though

Day 3 for me havent gotten any new breakouts

Day 3, same as you trashydude, no new breakouts. The pimples that popped yesterday are also healing fast.

cmon guys we can do it

guillermo

Control panel, congratulstions on day 5. Also do you guys seem to get your acne mostly on the middle of your forehead and chin after masturbating? For me thats my problem areas. Also i've researched a bit and found that the middle of forehead, chin and also jawline are t-zones. That basically means that these areas react strongly to hormones. Since masturbation and ejaculation fucks up your hormones, i think there is a strong link.

Also, one tine i remember i was on day 7 of not masturbating ( i already tried before) and my acne refuced dramatically and i was so happy.

Good luck guys dont give up

guillermo

Actually the spots where i get the most breakouts is my cheeks

Day 4 for me. good luck guys

Day 4 for me too. Control pannel, dont give up, you can do it. Trashydude, atm my problem areas are cheeks and middle of forehead. Good luck

Wow, how old were you when you went on 2 years no masturbation journey? Btw,Day 3 here

Day 5, breakout have 90% healed on cheeks and about 60% on forehead.

Also make sure you guys are drinking alot of water, it will help to flush the excess hormones out. And no, for me alot of water alone does not cure my acne. But no masturbation + alot of water= no acne

I am very motivated to continue. Dont give up,it will worth it in the end!!!

Guillermo

Day 5, no new breakouts and I will make sure to drink a lot of water, thanks for the tip. I was just wondering, do you guys use benzoylperoxide? I use the 2.5% and its been making the breakouts flat but I still have a lot of red marks on places where the pimples used to be. Any tips?

Umm personnally i dont use ANY products on my face as my face freaks out if i use anything on it, ESPECIALLY chemicals. I always washed with cold water and before my masturbation addiction, i had very nice skin because of the cold water. So why not try that instead of chemicals  

guillermo

Also trashydude, im very happy that there isnt any new breakouts. I hope its your cure just like me ( im not 100% sure it is though). Please dont give up i dont want to be alone in this journey, best of luck.

Guillermo

I heard that washing your face with medium warm water is better for your face because it opens up the pores better but im not sure

It doesnt have anything to do with pores. It'j just that cold water doesnt irritates skin and doesnt strip it of its natural oils (which is bad for acne because the body will produce more to compensate). Also day 6 here, but yesterday i warched porn and masturbated BUT DIDNT ORGASM/EJACULATE. Guess what? A few pimples popped on my right cheek today and my forehead acne healed slower than past days when i didnt watch any porn or touch my dick. WTF IS THIS WIZARDRY??? Fuck porn im never watching it ever!!

I am 8 days in to this randomly, I decided to start for the other psychological and energetic reasons but this seems to be a benefit.
I have also been doing this as my routine
Morning:
Cleanser + Moisturiser
Every second day exfoliate

Night:
Face wash

Also been washing my sheets every 3 days or so now. Face has gotten a little better. Keep it up guys, it's not worth it to relapse!

Its day 7, I masturbated, but just as guillermo I didnt ejaculate thats a good thing. Still havent had any new breakouts yet so I'm very happy abour that.
