DISCLAIMERS...

#1 My videos are NOT here to try to force a certain lifestyle on anyone. My long term subscribers have heard me say the words "your life, your rules" in many of my videos. If fapping to adult sites is your thing and you don't feel any negative consequences, then hey, I have absolutely no problems with that. My videos are simply here for those who WANT to give it up because they've noticed it leading to negative consequences in their life. Many people have a real addiction to adult sites nowadays.

#2: My videos are information only and they are not medical advice. If you need such advice, please see a doctor. I'm just a guy who likes to read and learn a lot, and in my videos I simply share my experiences, and what I have learned, with my audience. Again, I'm not a doctor, and further; I assume no liability for the application of the information discussed in my videos. ALWAYS do your own research!

Hey Bob, I'm on day 305 right now thanks to you and I'll be forever grateful to you

I just fell after 121 days, binging 5 times, I feel so ashamed and guilty. Gotta get back up.

When you guys do a streak, you need to be conservative, like a monk. You can't believe that if you eat sugar, skip workouts, not earning money, playing video games, going to starbucks and going to bars and restaurants that you will streak and it's going to cure your lack of life success, do you? You need to gather all these resources together and use them ALL to your advantage.

So correct me if im wrong, but my understanding is that its some form of vicous cycle with dopamine. 1. You get dopamine high by bidge eating, alco, porn whatever. 2. Dopamine goes below healthy level and that in return causes a lot of pain, anxiety and depression. 3. You then seek dopamine (feel good drug) even more because youre in mental pain?

In day time no fap journey i don't feel urge to relapse. It has been adjusted. But why the urge comes at bed time?

Will a 24 hour dopamine detox also have effects?

Thanks alot bob for these contents. Tbh i only started to take nofap seriously after i saw your video regarding dopamine fast and the most important part is the richard solomon graph. I am a victim of severe addiction. The withdrawal symptoms i experienced was quite extreme last month. While rebooting, using dopamine stimulants can be a killer especially excessive sugar for me. Your explaination about pain pleasure is what gave me hope during the terrible withdrawal i go through.

[AidanGerald]

I start nofap in age 13 is it to early??

[Luke-ihoc]

This is probably a big part of why cold showers are so loved. They cause much discomfort, and help to balance the yin and yang between pain and pleasure.

[gerardprendeville]

Good video Bob, your right about way too many pleasures causing pain. It's like too much of a high or pleasure and then comes big low low. The dopamine fasting or a little austerity can be a good thing.

Hey bob, i binge relapsed after 90 day streak of total purity, i fap more than 5 times on watching fetish porn for a 3 days,
I feel lost all the benifits and confidence that i build it up for 90 days,

How to deal with pain of relapse and how the relapse set me back, from your experience how the percentage of benefits lost?

[kiansehn]

commenting for the algorithm. thank you Bob for the educational content!

[Drumsaliving]

Amazing! I'm having a gym session + cold shower + meditation right away! Keep motivating people to take care of their dopamine system to make a better world Bob, stay strong and see you in the next one 💪

Hi Bob, not sure if you are going to read this.
Wanted some advice. I've currently been trying to quit pmo for a year now, after perhaps 7 years of pmo. I have had some good streaks of a month this year, but one thing that always makes me relapse is ogling. Whilst inside the house I can take means to prevent myself from slipping, I cannot get myself to stop ogling at women outside because they are everywhere. What on earth do I do? Stay indoors till it gets better???

[hoursk]

Her book "Dopamine Nation" is excellent

[kingmische]

Thank you for this video and all the valuable information you provide Bob! Your channel has helped me so much in terms of healing and clarity. I'm a long time subscriber but commenting for the first time. Happy to support and help, it's the least I can do. I truly appreciate what you have done for thousands of people looking for answers and trying to free themselves from the 'prisons' of this modern day and age. May you be well and happy brother🖖

[silentgarage]

Thank you for helping me with your videos. I hope this comment helps you little. Happy weekend friend(s) .

Great as always Bob!

There is a book on this subject by the author Johann Hari, it is titled "Lost Connections" which also talks about the damage that hyperconnectivity is causing us and how it is related to the increase in cases of anxiety, hyperactivity and depression. We have lost human contact, contact with nature, and the lack of attention from a hyperstimulated society is killing us.

[Grimnir]

Like always, amazing content. How does one improve sleep quality?, Usually i get 4hours of sleep when mildly stressed, so i decided to try meditating and exercising but non worked as i had hope. The best i got was 5 or 6 hours tops 😕

[Madmentoil]

Dopamine is dangerous, the human body is not made for pleasure all the time, that's why i feel with no drive after PMO and smoking weed, and everything sucks, i cannot even pay attention to anything for more than 2 minutes, i know you understand this very well, thank you for trying to fix our lives
