Rule #1: You will acknowledge your addiction to pornography and/or masturbation.
The first step of curing a problem is to first acknowledge that you’re a victim of it. Until and unless you realise that the problem lies within you, you will never be able to fight it.
Most people jump on the bandwagon of doing a NoFap just because they think it’s cool and trendy. So it isn’t surprising when you see almost every individual in this crowd drops out after a few days or weeks.
Therefore, sit with yourself. Discuss well and then figure out if you really have an issue with masturbation. If the answer is in affirmative then understand the problem and acknowledge it instead of ignoring it.
Rule #2: Understand how NoFap relapse works and how to tackle each kind.
Like any kind of addiction, NoFap too has its relapsing tendencies. Sometimes it hits you harder than you would have thought.
Also, each website or guide defines the relapse in its own manner. Some say you can take a “cheat day” every few weeks while some say you should go all cold. Depending on how hard you wanna go and how much stress you can afford, you should choose your own definition of relapse.
Depending on the kind of NoFap you’re doing, there are broadly 3 forms of relapses:
- The Rookie Mode: In this NoFap you abstain from porn and masturbation. But you can have an orgasm through sex. You just cut out the “self-pleasure” component. So a relapse in this mode would be if you accidentally end up jerking yourself.
- The Warrior Mode: Here you abstain from any kind of orgasm. Be it from sex or masturbation, it’s a no-go. You might watch porn or sexually stimulate yourself but ejaculation is strictly restricted. As you can understand, the relapse would be you failing to control yourself and busting a nut.
- The Monk Mode: This is the hardest one where you devoid yourself from even the most subtle sexual thoughts or innuendos. So no sex jokes, movies, gazes or anything that has the remote possibility of turning a guy on.
You can bet, in this century of the internet, this is extremely hard to practice and is reserved for only the most disciplined minds.
Rule #3: Don’t compare your journey with others.
I know guys who have done NoFap for over 40 weeks and then suddenly got back to their addictive life of porn and masturbation. And I know guys who got rid of their addiction by just 4 weeks of NoFap. So you can never compare the timeline of two NoFapers and say who is better just by seeing the duration.
It’s the end results that matter and since each one of you has a different goal in mind it is not at all fair for you to compare and judge anyone, including yourself.
Rule #4: Keep an escape list!
Its like an emergency protocol you will follow every time the siren blares RED!
Keep a list of 7-8 ways you can distract yourself when you feel the cravings coming.
Here are a few suggestions:
- Take a cold shower.
- Go for a run.
- Call your grandmother(!)
- Do 20 push ups and 20 jumping jacks.
- Sit with your family or get into a gathering.
Try to keep the list exhaustive and detailed as it will be your last minute saviour whenever you see yourself failing.
Rule #5: Block your booty calls
Anyone in your contact list who will provoke you for the worse shouldn’t exist during NoFap. No you need not exterminate them, just delete their contacts or block them off temporarily.
You can even explain them beforehand and if they are caring enough, I’m sure they’ll understand.
The Final Word.
As I said every one is different so there will be slight variations in the rules followed by every individual as well. What you need to understand is this is for you. The only person who will benefit from this challenge is you. No one else is involved. Hence take this challenge seriously. Cut out the distractions, keep your rule book handy and believe in yourself.
You will definitely come out as a victorious man after this. Good luck!
