No worries man. You’re still on the journey. U have our support. It’s must of felt good to nut tho lol I remember I broke my 10 month streak too, not to long ago. while washing myself in the shower. It just came out on it’s own. I couldn’t believe it that I started laughing uncontrollably for a few minutes.
hahaha that's crazy man. it actually didn't feel like anything -- I get the sense it wasn't a full-blown release. But I appreciate the kind words. Truly.
Congrats on making it to a 10 month streak. Really impressive. I relapsed last night after 35 days which was my longest streak thus far. I did not binge though, so I still feel some good energy left from my 35 days of semen retention. What benefits did you experience in those 10 months? Also what day are you in now? Did you reset your counter when you relapsed or did you take some days off your 10 months streak?
@@thuo1000 YOU feel like a fuckin GOD. You don't get tired. You dominate you thoughts and workouts. More confidence. Ladies LOVE the scent they can smell it. Just a better way of living. On day 7 to get back to where I was
Love you bro... Don't get disappointed. You have already achieved what 99.99999%... Cant even imagine to dream of. Its a hard journey. Even tougher than climbing mount everest. Its victory over ourself. And you are a Savior Captain Sindbad. You have saved many lives. And our wishes are with you. Thank you for uplifting the world. The world is better as you are in it...
With all due respect, this video feels hypocritical to the one where you were on hardmode day 78. You said that we shouldn't let others know if we failed on our streak and that we should shut our mouths, yet in this video you did everything u said we shouldn't do in the other one. I'm really impressed with your progress and this is far better than I've ever come. Also i know this is 4 years ago and things have changed but yeah just calling you out on your own statements !
I could see it in your eyes when you said the word "brain fog" that is was just your mind playing tricks on you. I am absolutely certain that nofap has energetic and physical benefits but it also hugely impacts on the mind. Nofap is basicaly like meditation. You learn to disengage the thinking mind and simply observe it without any judgments. The voice that judges the behaviors of you and others is the same voice that tells you to masturbate. The voice is conditioned by our family, friends, experiences etc. When you learn to see the voice for what it does, basicaly telling to go and release you also learn that you are free to ignore it, that is freedom. This is primarly what meditation does: understanding that we are not your thoughts. Now you are free to listen to this voice that tells you that releasing on your own and not with a woman is bad, and you'll feel bad. You can listen to it and feel guilt, shame because that voice turned from "you should release" to "you should not release" and will make you feel bad if you do it. In my opinion Nofap clears brain fog mainly because you learn to recognize where you true freedom is. Your freedom lies beyond the thinking mind. I hope you don't fall into the rabbit hole and think to yourself that you failed or something. You will find yourself become even more powerful once you realize it's all in the mind. Whether you think it was good or bad to relapse is neither right or wrong, it's just an idea/belief you take to be true. A belief either serves you or goes against you. The voice is either on your side or is against you.
Huge respect for this video. Watch your thoughts. Stay positive and optimistic. It isn't a set back, it is a step that was inevitable and meant to happen in order to teach you a lesson and make you stronger throughout this journey. Dont binge. Stay strong because your body wouldn't release all of its' energy reserves in one finish, know that. You're still on the way to greatness brother!
Well done on 37 days man! Cheers dude, it's always good to go into an encounter with a woman, while holding onto the determination that you will retain the life force energy. All the best to you man, and thank you for the kind words.
Don't you worry Captain! You were the one who uplifted me with your strong words when I relapsed after 37 days of retention... so today I'm here to tell you that you my friend are awesome, amazing and still perfect to a lot many people! Be brave! Our ship is about to venture into unforeseen lands, Captain and I see many people joining this odyssey along with us! We need you to instruct us and guide us when we feel lost somewhere... And always remember that we got your back forever! We got a long way to go together!! 👍
haha i know that disapointment too well. you've said it brother : cold shower, meditation, workout, eat clean...you'll be back in 4 days not much more...keep going strong captain
I think you shouldn't worry about it. As you said, you've already had such a long streak, most of the healing already must have happened during that. I myself relapsed a couple of days ago on day 43 of my streak. Never made it that far. And i already could tell that even though it was a major bummer, i wasn't as devastated as when i was after relapses after streaks of 2 or 3 weeks. Now i'm just beginning anew and focus on the now and the future, not the past. You're still an inspiration man.
This is by far the most impactful video I've watched on ur channel. Thanks for making it, made me realize how harsh I was on myself, if I made just one mistake, I would just constantly beat me up till I give up completely and relapse back to the old habits, such as smoking, overdrinking and watching "naked people action movies" etc. I now know I should just accept that I'm imperfect, and start all over from the beginning. Because today is a new day, and greatness awaits.
I think the way to have Brahmacharya as a practice is to search for our true self. When we have the highest aim in life then small aims are fulfilled automatically and naturally. When we know that we are not this body, the mind and this becomes a realization then a new dimension opens up. I have met some people who have remained celibate in their entire life and the common thing I found out is that they had a much higher purpose in life. So, I think we all should aim for highest !! Thanks for all your videos they are helpful, so much love.
You don't necessarily need to ejaculate every time you have sex and/or masturbate, but most of us are conditioned to believe that it's the only way for a man to achieve a peak orgasm, optimally. And most men develop an addictive tendency towards this form of orgasm, misunderstanding that the frequency at which a man ejaculates objectively dictates his overall well-being. There's a lot of "arcane" knowledge out there which speaks of being multi-orgasmic and having non-ejaculatory sexual activity which spans thousands of years of thought. For example, there are schools of philosophy such as Daoism/Taoism, Tantra, and Coitus reservatus (Karezza) which teaches us how to achieve this more effectively. It is no coincidence that so many cultures throughout human history have spoken about semen retention, there's something to the practice which is collectively shared.
Captain, you're an inspiration to thousands of young men from across the world. Retention has given me emotional reinforcement and physical stamina I didn't know I had. ''Retention isn't a challenge, retention is a lifestyle.'' -You. Those of us that have watched you for a while know that. *I dream* of a relationship where I can retain for a few weeks each month. *Me, the woman of my dreams* raw dog in between her flows and ovulations. A relationship wherein the only contraceptive she has at her discretion is the blessed *calendar method.* I believe Yahuwa wants us to practice sexual alchemy responsibly.
Thanks Sinbad for being honest!! I think everyone even the gurus whom we are reading in books had relapses once in a while but I know after the relapse the energy to do anything more is actually doubled because nobody can take that relapse it actually feels shit but it's Morning after every night.. you will f... ur laziness in next 1 year hard mode journey..It gives you more control & will keep reminding you about this relapse & how it feels in the future for any urge.. This is the Key...You are a 10 sec Car from 0 to 60 in no Time..Always the motivation for those 1300 dedicated viewers..I love your Honesty Bro it's what's kept me stick to the only channel for so long...
"the magic in the world has dimmed a little bit" oh how I relate!!! I want to see the magic in the world, dang it. Journaling my NoFap goals as well as other personal development goals
Bro I did the same thing on Friday morning (ended hard mode streak with a woman), by Saturday night I felt back to peak energy levels again. Hit the workouts hard, put on your favorite music (with headphones preferably) and smash out some productive work and you'll be back. Love what you're doing and don't be too hard on yourself
Man!!!! I lost my streak today, yesterday and the day before, twice, after just a 2 day streak the previous days. I really gotta start taking this seriously!!! I think my hairline traveling backwards and I'll be damned if I go bald!!!! You aight Cap, just keep going! Good vid!!!
It's time for some retrospection, see how much you have accomplished and how disciplined you have become, you are getting stronger by the day, take it as learning experience, greatness is coming for all of us in this journey!
You look relaxed happy smiling and not frustrated. Glowing. You got laid. 👍🏻I think it’s great. I’m in hard mode except for the diet part and no issue. Been six months not part of my life anymore. You are partly to thank. So thank you and just chillax 👍🏻
Wow!! I feel u man, I just broke my 120 streak today. I feel so tired. It's crazy how suddenly everything is so cloudy! Like how did I live like this before?? But yea, I think relapse can be a great part of the process because it tests our willpower. I know this next run will be a challenge but boy I'm ready. God bless u and best luck
Captain Sinbad You’re the one who inspired me to go in advanced mode where I haven’t had ONE sexual thought for 38 days and counting. Your thoughts speak volume, cheers! 🍵🍵
Man, you've got some serious balls. I've been writing a book about Brahmacharya, I've written dozens of books but still felt a little skittish writing about this. While you, on the other hand, are talking about this on camera. I felt like thanking you, I think you helped lift my hang-ups about publishing this book.
So I'm currently at about 15 months hardmode. If I noticed a desire arise in my mind towards trying karezza I would know without any doubt that this is a subtle trick of the mind to justify indulgence in lusty pleasures which I know are unsatisfying and draining. When you truly understand the emptiness of lust and sexual pleasure no desires will arise. If you want to make it to a year you'll have to be 100% about it.
Sindbad,failed at 82 days,it was getting impossible,urges 4 hourly.Am back again but don't know what to do about these urges which should come after some time.Am into meditation and cold showers,semen retention
Hey Cap, great achievement going 10 months straight, that’s like being a warrior and fighting ten rounds straight with no experience fighting. Now you have 10 months nofap experience under your belt and a lot has been learned. I’m on day 45 and I’m 51 years old so dude , you have so much ahead of You skies the limit. Just don’t let the strong urges take you all the way out. Also check out this link , it’s about a Indian back in the day who had a wife and still attained self realization. Lahiri Mahasaya Indian yogi and guru en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Lahiri_Mahasaya Stay strong you have a good group of brothers that has your support. “Remember you the Captain “😎
Thank you for your honesty... you are still far ahead of the crowd in so many ways... just buckle up and keep the progression... your inspiration continues 🙏
The contrast of life. Without our failures we will never truly enjoy our successes. Thanks for being honest. Life is filled with distraction, incorporate these opportunities to learn and grow to a better version of yourself Captain Sinbad. Be well. Good luck!
Dude if you're making love it's bound to happen. But good for you man! There are some benefits, energetic you get from being with a woman though so it's far from fapping.
@legolas24 Cuddling releases oxytocin, a stress relieving hormone and serotonin, the happiness hormone. You can cuddle without having sex and you can have sex without cuddling. I suppose but that's what I meant. There is also some exchange of more subtle energies when you spend time with someone, which you can see how even roommates tend to start to laugh like each other many times. That can be a good or bad thing depending upon what type of person you're dealing with. Also another person can motivate you and inspire you and build you up, or the exact opposite and you can have a similar influence on another person. www.bustle.com/p/7-health-benefits-of-cuddling-according-to-science-7543527
@legolas24 also fapping requires little to no effort on your part. Getting a girl you actually have to put forward some effort. Some guys can get girls easier than others and some girls require very little effort but like a job, the ones you can easily get don't pay very much etc. The jobs that are hard to land you have to study for, get certifications, pass the interview(s) etc. That, in a nutshell, is one of the great lessons we can learn from NoFap. Here's one video that inspired me: ua-cam.com/video/-oM6wDxaXI0/v-deo.html
@legolas24 I think I read you can get the same benefit with cuddling with a dog than you can with a woman lol. But yeah man that's my style- Let the ladies come to me. Lol As my dad says "sex is overrated." Sometimes we have to experience it all- the ups and downs in life before we figure it out. You just have to see what's right for you and then do your thing.
Power isn’t everything. I see wonder and relaxation in your face....Everything is progress, including a break in sobriety. I admire you owning up, though I do not see it as failure.
Appreciate the honesty. It's not a set back, it's a lesson. It's all about honing the skill on this journey of retention. The knowledge you have on this is not lost.
How does one Move that energy up the spine? Breathing? Yoga? Any specific frequencies to listen to? I feel I get a lot of dormant energy stuck in my mid/lower spine and after about 2 months there's always a week relapse. Then the cycle repeats. How does one keep it going up?
One way is pranayama -- I've made a video about this. Especially the great draw that is mentioned at the end of the video. Another is meditation -- particularly spinal breathing meditation. Also another video you can find on my channel! Lastly, cold showers are sort of a cheat code to shooting energy up your spine. Particularly if done when you are feeling aroused. Hope this helps man!
Thank you for being truthful about relapse. This nofap thing is very hard if you are with a women. Still, you went this far. This is still a victory. I am hopeful that you will get back on track. You are still an inspiration for me. Keep going captain.
Hey Nikhil, don't worry. It just shows that we are all humans. You helped so many people like me on this journey and I know you'll keep doing so. Cheers man!!
you're good man you'll be back up to speed in a week or two. just try to stay true to what you're doing. i've been practicing this shit just over 2 years and i've noticed that as long as your deep intentions are pure and you don't consciously give in, you will be ok and won't set back much at all
Your authenticity and personal credibility are both admirable and undeniable. Nature all ways knows best - you and your partner deserved that 'release.' No loss. Only gains. Stay potent, brother.
All is not lost bro! The full spectrum of the magic of the world will return quicker then you think. What happens after this is the key. Don't let the chaser effect get the best out of you. The need to ejaculate again is usually quite strong but if you can stay strong in the midst of those urges, you get nofap points multiplier ;)
Captain Don't be disappointed.. It's most difficulty thing in this world to conquer,so how it can be so easy. You played very well and you are winner, I am starting my steak with you again:-)
It's just a chemical low that takes about a day and a half to get over, you'll be back to normal actually probably in 2 to 4 days max unless you keep ejaculating. It's not really a setback. Personally I don't know about perfect retention really being that great for you. Best not to turn the whole thing into a religion, that's a bit of an unrealistic standard. If you strengthen your pc muscle enough you can have sex and orgasm without ejaculating anyways. Personally though, I believe the energy is lost through the orgasm, not through the semen - i believe the semen comes out through the urine anyways.
Don't let the Brahmin culture over-influence you into believing that perfect retention is going to give you magical powers or solve life's problems, that position is merely a caste creed for social purposes. @@Sharon-wk6vt It seems to still trigger a chemical/mental affect of some sort. Even if one orgasms without ejaculation, at least some of the semen goes into the bladder and at least some is urinated out. Orgasm for women may be different. Not being one I can't say.
Citizen Z In my opinion, it is not about retention, but about retention until true connection is present. I am over three years. If connection with another man or woman, or happens, then it is in the nature of things, imho!
Dude I've been there I went almost 90 days then I broke my streak felt kinda devastated then I picked it back up tried again, you inspired me to go to almost 90 days
Captain Sinbad, first of all thank you for your honesty and for being real with us viewers! I really had to ask: if it feels so negative to even have a release with a woman -- and you would probably feel the same even if you had got to one whole year of retention -- and considering all the benefits you have experienced up to now, is it still worth it (to you) to jump into bed with a woman at all? I ask, because I personally find it highly unrealistic to sleep with a woman and not ever have a release. Thanks!
I'd been getting away with soft intimacy/some karezza for a few months now. Perhaps moving forward I'll not do karezza, but really -- I don't mind a release every 8 months.
You got it bro you good! Seek CHRIST as well and you will be delivered from the demon of Shame, Fear, Guilt and disappointment! I love that you are a so focused and zoned on it to be better next time brotha! Your spirit, your flesh, you battle and you are doing better than you would have if you never tried! Love you bro in Jesus name God bless you! AMEN
You did a great job just don’t beat yourself up too much. I’m on a 50+ day streak now but it may end soon sexually with a woman. Crazy thing is I want to keep it going but to please her the most and me wanting to, I think it’s going to be a well deserved release.
Bro! Respect for sharing the failure as well as the success. I had drunk sex last night and broke my streak too. Today at work I had less power in my legs. Chin up mate. The most important thing is we get back on the horse and keep moving forward. Best of luck!
Man I relapsed last night too, I feel disgusted also. Breaking principle also breaks heart much. Lets get back up again. Don't binge. Be more vigilant to the cause of trigger and plan more in incontingencies. Wish you more strength cap.
Man I just relapsed about 2 hours ago. I went for about 3 weeks but released because through the journey I didn’t have a solid plan as to how I would retain as the urges get stronger. It’s definitely worth it, that energy and glow you get is insane💪🏾
Keep going strong man.. Honestly, its not even PMO so it wouldn't really be a relapse, but I guess a release is a release... What I'm most inspired by is the fact that you're admitting you're not perfect. That's something I had to learn the hard way very recently..Totally relate to that feeling..
Hi Captain, following your videos and getting motivated to go on a no fap streak. but having a few doubts. When you say no fap does it mean no mastrubation but you are allowed to have intercourse with the opposite sex ? Or does it mean none of it at all? And my second question is, how different is mastrubation from having real sex with a woman in terms of semen loss? Since in both the acts the semen is released. I have heard that you can have sex with a woman and doesn't affect as much as self stimulation. Looking forward to your valuable insights.
Do you think nofap and internet addiction go hand in hand? I feel like I need to get off the computer or significantly limit it. But I have nothing to do in my free time. During the day I go to the gym. At night is when I usually relapse. What can I do at home? I can’t meditate all day. I need a substitute bad.
It's such a powerful practice. The next couple of weeks might offer you a ton of insight as you can now use the new mastery you've gained to observe yourself as your hormones set to work restablizing (Cupid's Poisoned Arrow). This could turn out to be a good thing. I wouldn't be surprised if you feel better than before in just a couple of days. The muladhara is still sure and your insights will surely turn up some chakras somewhere in your system. I'm rooting for ya! Thank you for sharing your journey m8.
Be careful, you think you may have lost 35 days. And it’s easy to quantify. But unfortunately after relapsing. It becomes harder and harder to not relapse. And harder and harder to abstain. I know this because I’ve been at it for two years. I know you also know this. And I Commend you for your disciplines over the years. And I also appreciate your honesty. But right now you’re at the beginning stage. Watch out because my relapse is became every 30 days. Every 14 days. Now it’s every five days.
Amazing how first impression I was thinking the twinkle in the eye is missing in this video. Then you commented on your eyes. I'm starting over too. Definitely have noticed how it changes the voice.
I am a highly sensitive person, and I find that drinking basically resets me back to 0 and it takes about 2 weeks to feel decent again. This is because of severe alcohol intolerance and being stubborn 😊. Even if i retain for 2 months, it doesnt matter.. the damage will have been done.
Astrology brother. Your natal chart if properly studied can give you shit ton of insights on what might occur during different cosmic alignments. Mercury is in retrograde right now and alot of the past is resurfacing everyones life. Very tricky to talk about because it seems like alot of assumptions have to be made to believe in something like astrology but if we investigate ourselves, we will see a bigger picture.
When I released after a long streak I felt this heat leave my body it felt like my soul left it was very odd. And a testament too to the chi or energy flowing through us. But karezza is a tough practice you will release a few times with that id expect, just have to keep strengthening the pc muscles or so I assume.
Ohh I missed this video-- there is nothing to be disappointed firstly -- and to get others get benefitted from your experience -- you should have told --- How, where , why it happened -- that would an eye opener or could save somebody else in same phase :) I an eager to know that
Damn. This dude is seriously committed to the hard mode. Mad respect for the honesty and forwarders of this video. I really needed this
thanks Paul, appreciate it man
NoFap easy. Hard Mode is optimal and difficult. That is what I strive for.
Yeah I needed this as well

I refuse to believe that releasing through sex, is in any way, a negative thing.
You don't necessarily need to ejaculate every time you have sex and/or masturbate, but most of us are conditioned to believe that it's the only way for a man to achieve a peak orgasm, optimally. And most men develop an addictive tendency towards this form of orgasm, misunderstanding that the frequency at which a man ejaculates objectively dictates his overall well-being.

It is no coincidence that so many cultures throughout human history have spoken about semen retention, there's something to the practice which is collectively shared.
Amen!
Captain, you're an inspiration to thousands of young men from across the world.
Retention has given me emotional reinforcement and physical stamina I didn't know I had.
''Retention isn't a challenge, retention is a lifestyle.'' -You.
Those of us that have watched you for a while know that.
*I dream* of a relationship where I can retain for a few weeks each month.
*Me, the woman of my dreams* raw dog in between her flows and ovulations.
A relationship wherein the only contraceptive she has at her discretion is the blessed *calendar method.*
I believe Yahuwa wants us to practice sexual alchemy responsibly.
Thanks Sinbad for being honest!! I think everyone even the gurus whom we are reading in books had relapses once in a while but I know after the relapse the energy to do anything more is actually doubled because nobody can take that relapse it actually feels shit but it's Morning after every night.. you will f... ur laziness in next 1 year hard mode journey..It gives you more control & will keep reminding you about this relapse & how it feels in the future for any urge.. This is the Key...You are a 10 sec Car from 0 to 60 in no Time..Always the motivation for those 1300 dedicated viewers..I love your Honesty Bro it's what's kept me stick to the only channel for so long...
thanks so much Anand
"the magic in the world has dimmed a little bit" oh how I relate!!! I want to see the magic in the world, dang it. Journaling my NoFap goals as well as other personal development goals
I'm sure the magic will come in full effect shortly my friend
I was scrolling through comments and read that while he was saying it. Wooow
Bro I did the same thing on Friday morning (ended hard mode streak with a woman), by Saturday night I felt back to peak energy levels again.
Hit the workouts hard, put on your favorite music (with headphones preferably) and smash out some productive work and you'll be back.
Love what you're doing and don't be too hard on yourself
cheers man, thanks for the advice
Man!!!! I lost my streak today, yesterday and the day before, twice, after just a 2 day streak the previous days. I really gotta start taking this seriously!!! I think my hairline traveling backwards and I'll be damned if I go bald!!!! You aight Cap, just keep going! Good vid!!!
good luck to you
Don't go LeBron lol
It's time for some retrospection, see how much you have accomplished and how disciplined you have become, you are getting stronger by the day, take it as learning experience, greatness is coming for all of us in this journey!
a good point Quiero, thank you so much
You look relaxed happy smiling and not frustrated. Glowing. You got laid. 👍🏻I think it’s great. I’m in hard mode except for the diet part and no issue. Been six months not part of my life anymore. You are partly to thank. So thank you and just chillax 👍🏻
sounds good man, hahaha thank you
Captain Sinbad 🙏🏻 welcome😀
Wow!! I feel u man, I just broke my 120 streak today. I feel so tired. It's crazy how suddenly everything is so cloudy! Like how did I live like this before?? But yea, I think relapse can be a great part of the process because it tests our willpower. I know this next run will be a challenge but boy I'm ready. God bless u and best luck
how many days it took you to get back on track with same understanding, maturity and clearity?
Well, at least no one can say that you're not a completely honest man. Please keep us updated on your recovery.
haha hopefully not. For sure, I'll be back up in no time
You’ve been an inspiration Nikhil, you still are. You’re following the lifestyle, that’s something to still look upto. God bless you my friend!
thanks man, very kind of you to say
Captain Sinbad You’re the one who inspired me to go in advanced mode where I haven’t had ONE sexual thought for 38 days and counting. Your thoughts speak volume, cheers! 🍵🍵
Man, you've got some serious balls. I've been writing a book about Brahmacharya, I've written dozens of books but still felt a little skittish writing about this. While you, on the other hand, are talking about this on camera. I felt like thanking you, I think you helped lift my hang-ups about publishing this book.
So I'm currently at about 15 months hardmode. If I noticed a desire arise in my mind towards trying karezza I would know without any doubt that this is a subtle trick of the mind to justify indulgence in lusty pleasures which I know are unsatisfying and draining. When you truly understand the emptiness of lust and sexual pleasure no desires will arise. If you want to make it to a year you'll have to be 100% about it.
good point Thomas!
Sindbad,failed at 82 days,it was getting impossible,urges 4 hourly.Am back again but don't know what to do about these urges which should come after some time.Am into meditation and cold showers,semen retention
Hey Cap, great achievement going 10 months straight, that’s like being a warrior and fighting ten rounds straight with no experience fighting. Now you have 10 months nofap experience under your belt and a lot has been learned. I’m on day 45 and I’m 51 years old so dude , you have so much ahead of You skies the limit. Just don’t let the strong urges take you all the way out.
Also check out this link , it’s about a Indian back in the day who had a wife and still attained self realization.

Stay strong you have a good group of brothers that has your support. “Remember you the Captain “😎
may i ask why do you want to practice is at 51...did u know about this when you are younger??what would u tell 28-30 year old guys about this?
Thank you for your honesty... you are still far ahead of the crowd in so many ways... just buckle up and keep the progression... your inspiration continues 🙏
Thanks so much Michael. I will press on!
The contrast of life. Without our failures we will never truly enjoy our successes. Thanks for being honest. Life is filled with distraction, incorporate these opportunities to learn and grow to a better version of yourself Captain Sinbad. Be well. Good luck!
Thanks so much for your supportive words brother
Setbacks are teachers, man. You will do just great.
thanks bro
Respect your honesty and courage. Thanks a million
love your honesty , keep it up my friend ❤️
Thank you Ahmed!!
@@CaptainSinbad i still believe that you are one of the best UA-camrs out there , and that doesn't mean anything other than human ✌🏽
Dude if you're making love it's bound to happen. But good for you man! There are some benefits, energetic you get from being with a woman though so it's far from fapping.
I guess so man! I do agree that it's a different kind of a release with a woman
@legolas24 Cuddling releases oxytocin, a stress relieving hormone and serotonin, the happiness hormone. You can cuddle without having sex and you can have sex without cuddling. I suppose but that's what I meant. There is also some exchange of more subtle energies when you spend time with someone, which you can see how even roommates tend to start to laugh like each other many times. That can be a good or bad thing depending upon what type of person you're dealing with. Also another person can motivate you and inspire you and build you up, or the exact opposite and you can have a similar influence on another person.
www.bustle.com/p/7-health-benefits-of-cuddling-according-to-science-7543527
@legolas24 also fapping requires little to no effort on your part. Getting a girl you actually have to put forward some effort. Some guys can get girls easier than others and some girls require very little effort but like a job, the ones you can easily get don't pay very much etc. The jobs that are hard to land you have to study for, get certifications, pass the interview(s) etc. That, in a nutshell, is one of the great lessons we can learn from NoFap.
Here's one video that inspired me:
ua-cam.com/video/-oM6wDxaXI0/v-deo.html
@legolas24 I think I read you can get the same benefit with cuddling with a dog than you can with a woman lol.
But yeah man that's my style- Let the ladies come to me. Lol
As my dad says "sex is overrated." Sometimes we have to experience it all- the ups and downs in life before we figure it out. You just have to see what's right for you and then do your thing.
@legolas24 To understand that explore spirituality.
thank you for your honesty my friend, my success is pale in comparison to what you have accomplished, lets us press forward men!
cheers man, perfection isn't necessary. Only to do ones best and honor the best within oneself.
Thank you for your honesty. Don't worry about it. But be careful: "failing" once can lead to more
thanks --- I'm fully committed to getting completely back on track
Power isn’t everything. I see wonder and relaxation in your face....Everything is progress, including a break in sobriety. I admire you owning up, though I do not see it as failure.
5 months unbroken. Feeling powerful.
Appreciate the honesty. It's not a set back, it's a lesson. It's all about honing the skill on this journey of retention. The knowledge you have on this is not lost.
Good point Roel, thank you
My NoFap journey
First streak : 3 days
Second streak : 20 days
I relapsed today , but I don’t feel low on energy, but it took a hit on my confidence
How does one Move that energy up the spine? Breathing? Yoga? Any specific frequencies to listen to?
I feel I get a lot of dormant energy stuck in my mid/lower spine and after about 2 months there's always a week relapse. Then the cycle repeats.
How does one keep it going up?
One way is pranayama -- I've made a video about this. Especially the great draw that is mentioned at the end of the video.
Another is meditation -- particularly spinal breathing meditation. Also another video you can find on my channel!
Lastly, cold showers are sort of a cheat code to shooting energy up your spine. Particularly if done when you are feeling aroused.
Hope this helps man!
Thank you for being truthful about relapse. This nofap thing is very hard if you are with a women. Still, you went this far. This is still a victory. I am hopeful that you will get back on track. You are still an inspiration for me. Keep going captain.
I appreciate it Junaid
Hey Nikhil, don't worry. It just shows that we are all humans. You helped so many people like me on this journey and I know you'll keep doing so. Cheers man!!
Thanks dude, cheers to you!
You've honestly been such an inspiration man. All my love and respect.
Cheers man
Bet that felt good. Hang in there mang! Your videos are informative, thought provoking, and motivating. You'll be ite
it didn't feel like much tbh, hahah thanks man!
We fall in order to pick ourselves back up! Greatness is coming for you bro no doubt nothing can stop a King once he has been awakened
beautifully said Danny, thank you so much
you're good man you'll be back up to speed in a week or two. just try to stay true to what you're doing. i've been practicing this shit just over 2 years and i've noticed that as long as your deep intentions are pure and you don't consciously give in, you will be ok and won't set back much at all
that's great feedback bro, thank you. I'll be back in no time
Your authenticity and personal credibility are both admirable and undeniable. Nature all ways knows best - you and your partner deserved that 'release.' No loss. Only gains. Stay potent, brother.
Can you please do a meditation tutorial.
can't get past 2 days
Your honesty is breathtaking!
All is not lost bro! The full spectrum of the magic of the world will return quicker then you think. What happens after this is the key. Don't let the chaser effect get the best out of you. The need to ejaculate again is usually quite strong but if you can stay strong in the midst of those urges, you get nofap points multiplier ;)
you're the man, man -- thanks for the insights
@@CaptainSinbad yes, the chaser effect is where most people relapse. Next few days will be tough
Love you brother, your channel is awsome. Much respect
Aw thank you Kevin
Captain Don't be disappointed..
It's most difficulty thing in this world to conquer,so how it can be so easy.
You played very well and you are winner,
I am starting my steak with you again:-)
Cheers man, thanks for your kind words
Keep going! This is a long term commitment! Mad props on your progress and your streak!
couldn't agree more man. Thank you
It's just a chemical low that takes about a day and a half to get over, you'll be back to normal actually probably in 2 to 4 days max unless you keep ejaculating. It's not really a setback. Personally I don't know about perfect retention really being that great for you. Best not to turn the whole thing into a religion, that's a bit of an unrealistic standard. If you strengthen your pc muscle enough you can have sex and orgasm without ejaculating anyways. Personally though, I believe the energy is lost through the orgasm, not through the semen - i believe the semen comes out through the urine anyways.
Thanks man, I think I'll be back in no time
I don't think energy is lost through orgasm.
Don't let the Brahmin culture over-influence you into believing that perfect retention is going to give you magical powers or solve life's problems, that position is merely a caste creed for social purposes.
@@Sharon-wk6vt It seems to still trigger a chemical/mental affect of some sort. Even if one orgasms without ejaculation, at least some of the semen goes into the bladder and at least some is urinated out. Orgasm for women may be different. Not being one I can't say.
@@FraterOculus wdym brahmin culture, its for everyone yo
I've had nocturnal emissions and a few wet dreams throughout my almost 6 months streak. My question is, is it really a 6 month streak because of that?
Citizen Z In my opinion, it is not about retention, but about retention until true connection is present. I am over three years. If connection with another man or woman, or happens, then it is in the nature of things, imho!
Dude I've been there I went almost 90 days then I broke my streak felt kinda devastated then I picked it back up tried again, you inspired me to go to almost 90 days
as long as we consistently move towards the right path, all is grand.
Captain Sinbad, first of all thank you for your honesty and for being real with us viewers! I really had to ask: if it feels so negative to even have a release with a woman -- and you would probably feel the same even if you had got to one whole year of retention -- and considering all the benefits you have experienced up to now, is it still worth it (to you) to jump into bed with a woman at all? I ask, because I personally find it highly unrealistic to sleep with a woman and not ever have a release. Thanks!
I'd been getting away with soft intimacy/some karezza for a few months now. Perhaps moving forward I'll not do karezza, but really -- I don't mind a release every 8 months.
You got it bro you good! Seek CHRIST as well and you will be delivered from the demon of Shame, Fear, Guilt and disappointment! I love that you are a so focused and zoned on it to be better next time brotha! Your spirit, your flesh, you battle and you are doing better than you would have if you never tried! Love you bro in Jesus name God bless you! AMEN
Dude what's gone is gone now the point is don't binge on doing this n move on...come again with more strength ... wishing u all the best...peace
agreed. thank you Ahsan
It's all right bro. U r gonna bounce back stronger #respect .
You did a great job just don’t beat yourself up too much. I’m on a 50+ day streak now but it may end soon sexually with a woman. Crazy thing is I want to keep it going but to please her the most and me wanting to, I think it’s going to be a well deserved release.
Thanks man, and well done with 50 days! I agree man, it's best to keep releases down. But the occasional release is perfectly fine dude
What is the journey? Somebody please break this down for me.
No worries fellow king ... you're still on the journey .. dont beat yourself up or mental disappointment ... cheers to you!!
haha thanks man
Bro! Respect for sharing the failure as well as the success. I had drunk sex last night and broke my streak too. Today at work I had less power in my legs. Chin up mate. The most important thing is we get back on the horse and keep moving forward. Best of luck!
Absolutely bro, chin up indeed
Man I relapsed last night too, I feel disgusted also. Breaking principle also breaks heart much. Lets get back up again. Don't binge. Be more vigilant to the cause of trigger and plan more in incontingencies. Wish you more strength cap.
What did he say he was engaging in during the beginning of the video?
Man I just relapsed about 2 hours ago. I went for about 3 weeks but released because through the journey I didn’t have a solid plan as to how I would retain as the urges get stronger. It’s definitely worth it, that energy and glow you get is insane💪🏾
Keep going strong man..
Honestly, its not even PMO so it wouldn't really be a relapse, but I guess a release is a release...
What I'm most inspired by is the fact that you're admitting you're not perfect. That's something I had to learn the hard way very recently..Totally relate to that feeling..
Appreciate it Sharan, thank you
Yeah that was especially HARD challenge.
Hi Captain, following your videos and getting motivated to go on a no fap streak. but having a few doubts. When you say no fap does it mean no mastrubation but you are allowed to have intercourse with the opposite sex ? Or does it mean none of it at all? And my second question is, how different is mastrubation from having real sex with a woman in terms of semen loss? Since in both the acts the semen is released. I have heard that you can have sex with a woman and doesn't affect as much as self stimulation. Looking forward to your valuable insights.
I respect you a lot man. Try some squats, it’ll help you produce more.
absolutely -- will definitely do squats and all manners of testosterone producing activities. Thanks so much man
Do you think nofap and internet addiction go hand in hand? I feel like I need to get off the computer or significantly limit it. But I have nothing to do in my free time. During the day I go to the gym. At night is when I usually relapse. What can I do at home? I can’t meditate all day. I need a substitute bad.
no I don't think they do
It's such a powerful practice. The next couple of weeks might offer you a ton of insight as you can now use the new mastery you've gained to observe yourself as your hormones set to work restablizing (Cupid's Poisoned Arrow). This could turn out to be a good thing. I wouldn't be surprised if you feel better than before in just a couple of days. The muladhara is still sure and your insights will surely turn up some chakras somewhere in your system. I'm rooting for ya! Thank you for sharing your journey m8.
Good point man. Thank you so much for the feedback.
Don't regret this! Many people wish they could have achieved what you have. Don't let this be a setback but motivation to continue on.
Thank you man
Be careful, you think you may have lost 35 days. And it’s easy to quantify. But unfortunately after relapsing. It becomes harder and harder to not relapse. And harder and harder to abstain. I know this because I’ve been at it for two years. I know you also know this. And I Commend you for your disciplines over the years. And I also appreciate your honesty. But right now you’re at the beginning stage. Watch out because my relapse is became every 30 days. Every 14 days. Now it’s every five days.
I can feel it. How much regret work inside. But we have to keep going 😊
Your good man. You don’t lose all your progress from one relaspe, just beware of the binge effect!
for sure man, thanks for the encouragement. Cold showers and workouts to overcome the chaser effect
Wow so much respect. The truth. This is the calm before the storm brother
Well said man. Thank you.
Let it purify bro
Don't worry about overflow
Let the diamond crystal grow
Shine like a Sun all life bro.
beautiful words Gaurav!
Amazing how first impression I was thinking the twinkle in the eye is missing in this video. Then you commented on your eyes. I'm starting over too. Definitely have noticed how it changes the voice.
The voice is the first thing that goes! Good luck man
Man, it's hard bro, you have my respect for sharing it with us...
We fall so we can get back up again!
Thank you man! you learn and you grow.
I am a highly sensitive person, and I find that drinking basically resets me back to 0 and it takes about 2 weeks to feel decent again. This is because of severe alcohol intolerance and being stubborn 😊. Even if i retain for 2 months, it doesnt matter.. the damage will have been done.
Astrology brother. Your natal chart if properly studied can give you shit ton of insights on what might occur during different cosmic alignments. Mercury is in retrograde right now and alot of the past is resurfacing everyones life. Very tricky to talk about because it seems like alot of assumptions have to be made to believe in something like astrology but if we investigate ourselves, we will see a bigger picture.
Interesting points man! I'd wanted to get into astrology for some time. Perhaps now is my chance.
no worries, big dogg. i hear ya barkin', big dogg
Your honesty about this is much appreciated brother👍
how did it happen then? what was the cause if it was not from PMO? I mean we all need to know right?
jb 7-10 din baad ekdum khtrnak urges aati h to ksee control kr lete ho bhaiyaa........mai to 10 days hi control kr paya hu...plz btao
Keep yo head up my nigga you gonna look back on this day one day & smile
hahaha thank you man, I have no doubt
Well that makes us all human...Tell us more about kareza if you know and learn more about it. Your previous video was inspiring!
Perhaps one day! Cheers man!
When I released after a long streak I felt this heat leave my body it felt like my soul left it was very odd. And a testament too to the chi or energy flowing through us. But karezza is a tough practice you will release a few times with that id expect, just have to keep strengthening the pc muscles or so I assume.
I'd managed to pull off karezza for the last six months --- i think the occasional break is to be expected
Ohh I missed this video-- there is nothing to be disappointed firstly -- and to get others get benefitted from your experience -- you should have told --- How, where , why it happened -- that would an eye opener or could save somebody else in same phase :) I an eager to know that
Preserving semam is not an easy task.
I suggest you to take care of your diet and thoughts.
There are some herbs are available to stop the relapses.
will definitely keep the diet and thoughts aligned for the next month!
Hey Bruh!
I know it's heartbreaking when we fall.We will rise again and conquer the path!
Check out my NoFap vids
its ok bro keep trying u r a inspiration
cheers man
911 days and counting hard mode- Sinbad- I'm the Captain now, you're the passenger, in the boat!
