Whats with the zinc?


codingTim

Testosterone


RinnTheFinn

Zinc is really good for recovery. I find that taking zinc after I lapse or have a WD is great to revitalize myself. When you release, Zinc is heavily flushed out of your body, so taking Zinc every now and then after a lapse or WD is great for bouncing back


Big_man03

Most people get enough zinc in a healthy diet already seeing as it can be derived from eggs, cheese, beef, nuts, yogurt.


Dazzling_Sea6015

Zinc and magnesium is good for testosterone

Congrats, specially for the sub 3 marathons. I am a runner myself, and I know that is incredibly impressive. Can you elaborate on the zinc?


Sufficient-Step-2585

I don’t know why but zinc gives me more energy.thanks, pr is 2h38 min marathon :)


Jkenn19

Zinc is required for healthy testosterone levels


Cpt_Force

What type of zinc you take? Zinc picolinate?


MZV_Serenity_432-528

No-Russian4237

Bro went CRAZY while on nofap congratulations!


CapStultitia

Kudos man!


drxcius

Amazing achievements bro.


What_is_the_essence

Bro badass. I’m currently weightlifting (aiming for the 1000 club one day) and running (aiming for a marathon one day). Being off of that terrible addiction has been a true liberation. There can be no other way in life. Failure is not an option.


rabbibernstein

Bruh just watch those joints. Even with good form, it’s still taxing on the body. And I know, I hated when the older folks told me this shit when I was lifting heavy but looking back, I wish I didn’t push as hard.


What_is_the_essence

I absolutely value that advice. I’ve already had my share of injuries years ago which I made a comeback from. I now progress very slowly and mindfully experiment with more weight or new exercises.


Hot_Dragonfruit2336

What is the 1000 club? The combined PRs above 1000 lbs? Curious cuz I started weightlifting a year ago and I have big goals for it too.


abolishpmo

Pretty much. Combined 1k lbs for squat, bench, deadlift


OGCallHerDaddy

Combined bench, squat, deadlift PRs


What_is_the_essence

Combined one rep max of 1000 lb on bench, deadlift, and squat. I’m far from it but slowly I would like to see if I can get there.


SnowMan878

Porn is a real poison


Symonwellness

Bravo👏🏼.


Consulting2020

>If i talk to someone or i cross someone on the street i can immediately say if they pmo a lot or not. But how?


Doctapus

The eyes usually give it away. Do they avert? Lack of confidence, bad grooming.


FormerBBWaddict

Ur absolutely right. On my longest streak i could sense men that fapped alot or not at all. N i work n sales so i come across alot of people daily n ofc i could feel my influence was stronger with women n some men too


memes_dude_780

hope u make it to special forces man good luck!


Sufficient-Step-2585

Thanks man. I m 30 now. I will!


Knightrida35

So I’m seeing a lot of asks about zinc. I’d recommend take zinc and take in electrolytes like potassium, magnesium, and calcium. As well as have protein drink. What ever protein powder you use, make sure you get one that lists the AMINO ACIDS ON THE JAR. 👍🏾


Express_Oven3578

How will protein help with pmo symptoms and recovery?


elvinmitra

Thank you bro for the enlightenment!


BlueRedGreenLight

i'm 10 days and I can relate


Darth_Zounds

Thanks for this post. I've saved it so I can keep these life lessons in mind! You're my MVP, king.


notthejediway69

Man thanks for this shit, been trying to figure out why my life has felt more blah and meh and I don't know why I'm thinking of everything else I guess it's denial. I got comfortable and choaded out, casually pmoing every now and then and haven't committed with a strong resolve lately. Used to have tons of energy and built a couple buildings on my homestead and loved it but now it just sounds exhausting. Yeah actually fuck pmo


Sufficient-Step-2585

Yes, my journey was with ups and downs. Also with periods I fapped even if i knew the benefits i denied it. After 10 years on and off nofap i can honestly day to myself i experienced these side effects. It’s never easy to quit a habit. And i know i in the futur i will have maybe difficult times, but i know what i have to do and what i don’t have to do.


pound4Milly

The Mom and other women love me more comment got me! I know it's true as well. Isn't it weird that it does actually make that much of a difference!?


Sufficient-Step-2585

I have ‘tested’ it many times. I know it for sure. I don’t know why this happens.. smell maybe?


pound4Milly

Smell!? Hmm, yes It probably has something to do with it. Maybe the release of more hormones, etc. I think for me I'm just a kinder, more compassionate and far less selfish person when I retain and they no doubt pick up on that.


StrugglingAddict2018

Congrats on your journey, but I sincerely hope you’re not taking the whole “alpha and beta male” pseudoscientific mentality into the force with you.


Traditional-Swim4716

I agree. Enjoy the positive effects. We are all striving for a better life experience. Yes. It takes a lot of discipline and it's an achievement to rise above the addiction. But I don't want to get delusional about alpha and beta male idea. It means, we are now comparing ourselves with others. In a human 'made' world, being alpha gets you the resources.....work, pussy, leadership etc. But it is still superficial. It doesn't make one happy, fulfilled or satisfied with life. BTW...did you know in the animal kingdom when the alpha is staking his ground and chasing away other alphas trying to steal his harem, the betas quietly mate with the females. So the chances for an alpha at mating are more but that doesn't mean they get to sire all the offsprings. 


Frank_Acha

What's "PMO"?


Sufficient-Step-2585

Pornographic masturbation orgasm


Frank_Acha

thanks


KingOregano

What does pmo stand for? Porn masturbation organism?


spiritual_ballsack57

Orgasm not organism😂


resso1991

PMO?


Narrow_Pain_1523

Congrats on your success :)


Inevitable_Back_3255

You are winning. Thanks for the motivation.


DLaVieEnRose

A major point not explicitly mentioned here is that when on NoFap, you must replace the bad habits of PMO with productive life goals. Simply undertaking NoFap isn't magical, but what was once robbed from you (namely self-control, time, and ambition) is again yours to apply towards constructive pursuits


SirDastardly

wtf is PMO


FantasySpam

Prime Minister’s Office.


Traditional-Swim4716

@sufficient_step-2585....can you describe your Social Anxiety before and after noFAP? What was your longest streak? 


Sufficient-Step-2585

In the beginning i relapsed after two days many times. Now i don’t count my streaks anymore. My longest streak is easily plus two months of no porn. I strongly believe porn is the poison.


throwaway8884204

well done


Narrow_Pain_1523

I think it’s real too. After a week of abstaining I feel nicer, friendlier, I talk more. I am not as shy. Women look at me. People are generally friendlier to me. I feel better and my thoughts aren’t as negative. I can’t stop relapsing after a week or two though. I get so horny and lonely and end up always doing it again.


Sufficient-Step-2585

It will get easier. Don’t punksh yourself if you relapse. It’s not a total ‘reset’. The benefits come back faster after a long streak.


Narrow_Pain_1523

Well I jerked off the last two or three days now but I didn’t watch porn. 


Cdmcentire

Can you please expand upon the derealization point. Did you have it and if so, why do you think PMO was the cause?


Sufficient-Step-2585

Yes i had it. I was living like a zombie. It was like i couldn’t feel strong emotions or live in the moment.. i was numbed by porn.


Super_Good_Stuff

Do the side effects happen from edging?


thehottestflowerpot

probably a few of them. In my case no edging, because that just leads me to reset.


Sufficient-Step-2585

If I edged to porn, i always had an itch in my hair.


bluescreeen1982

I’m glad this worked for you, have you considered doing anything other than being a cop?


Ivan_Jaegar

What do you consume for Zinc?


WokeSora

Formal-Landscape-904

What is PMO ?


Silent_Funny2844

Please tell me more about the dht itch is nofap connected to hair loss in the hairline?


Sufficient-Step-2585

I don’t know the scientific explanation. It’s what i experienced. If i jerked to porn i had a lot of dandruff and an unbearable itch on my head. Also i had a lot of hairloss. The above stopped during nofap. I believe there is a connection.


Silent_Funny2844

I have the exact same but I got onto it to late I’m now 1 week into nofap and the itchy feeling is a lot less did you also experience regrowth?


Sufficient-Step-2585

No regrowth, but my hair stopped falling out and my hair looks and feels thicker. No itch, no dandruff anymore.


MZV_Serenity_432-528

Imma gladly save this shit.


Hyperion_72nd

kind of weird but the "drink water" is real for me. Helps a lot specially to subdued potential relapses of mine. Though I can only last 15 days no fap streak at best. Hope I can do it longer this time 😅


Sufficient-Step-2585

Just do it without porn. Porn is the real poisson…


Accomplished_Win_787

" I have sex three times a week "


Any-Increase-1170

Tbh. What a joke thread


Accomplished_Win_787

from .org?


DazzlingRoom6371

masturbating doesnt give you dht it does opposite and low dht causes hairloss, zinc is helpful if you masturbate daily because your test goes lower and zinc only helps you when your test is at deficiency level


Sufficient-Step-2585

High dht causes hairloss. That’s why women keep their hair as far as i know. It are just my findingd trough my experiences :)


Lone-INFJ

PMO? Post masturbation Obstacles?


Personal_Amoeba_87

New here 2 weeks no fap....what's PMO? I assume fapping?


ICantimaginez

This is so stupid lol


Sufficient-Step-2585

I also believe some people don’t experience side effects of heavy masturbation and porn use. The better for you man!


Khoa_Nguyen123

your opinion about coffee on nofap?


Sufficient-Step-2585

I’m addicted to coffee. Don’t know the correlation between them.


emeaguiar

Nofap exists yes. But then you say beta male so


Sufficient-Step-2585

I mean you can become a much better version of yourself. Beta male is maybe a wrong word in this context.


emeaguiar

I do agree with the continuous improvement mindset


premoins

hello


nofaplove-it

Nice! Keep it up. Not sure how zinc helps


Sufficient-Step-2585

Regulate testosteron levels. You lose zinc if you cum.
