LOL I FAPPED
This shit is harder than it seems
This shit is harder than it seems
i actually did this for 3 days and then masturbated because it pissed me off being really horny right when i was trying to sleep. i won't say i "failed" though because there's really no reason this should be a month-long thing; the point is just to do it for as long as possible in an uninterrupted period. i did some research on this and couldn't find any scientific proof that it's not a placebo effect. if i'm going to put up with wanting to fuck everybody i'm not going to do it just because it's "no-fap-ember!!" but because there's a reason for it/benefit to it (for the record, i'm not saying i'm sure that is' bullshit, just that i want actual proof ... also, i'm fairly sure that not pmo'ing was originally intended to treat people who were addicted to porn or had ED)
science plz
edit: i also kind of hate the whole motivational aspect of it. either masturbate or don't but there's no reason to act like not touching your dick for a while is akin to working out heavily or persevering in some other important aspect of life. also just wanna remind everyone that no one is FORCING you to do this...the point of movember is to raise awareness; there are no beard gods looking down and critiquing your performance, nor are there cock gods tsk-tsking people who can't masturbate b/c it's 12:20. ಠ_ಠ. the point isn't to grow a beard or not fap for the month of november. the point is to raise awareness or accrue whatever benefits not masturbating is thought to give you. therefore excessive bitching about the rules/pedantry/obsession about the timeframe/"lasting" is dumb and if you can raise awareness in some other way or just not masturbate in another period go for it. everybody should do whatever the fuck they want, let's have no-drama-ember as well
edit2: if my point wasn't clear enough already, of course it counts waterbomb, there's no reason to listen to people on the internet. make a sign about prostate cancer for your office, that will raise awareness much more than having a slightly scragglier beard will

No, no it doesn't. You need to dedicate yourself to the challenge, man.
Whenever I come close to losing, this plays in my head

This is a bad sign for the rest of the month

I'm trying really hard to grow a beard, I even considered chopping down a tree in which to make a canoe out of.
sorry it's all blurry let me try again~~
EDIT:
there we go!
EDIT 2:
I can get the goatee to connect I think but then I only have small patches on my cheeks, damn it all.
I haven't shaved in like 10 days and my fuzz is only just starting to show >_>
I basically have a moustache but only in small patches

I will be calling you Patchy until this entire thing is over.
I'm going to hate Thanksgiving... My family is going to be yelling at me to shave like every ten minutes so that I look acceptable ;_;.
Nice No-Fap November progress pictures Matthew, but by now I'd expect the eyes to be bloodshot and devoid of any sparkle or happiness although you are sporting that 'sick of my life' expression that accompanies prolonged periods of abstinence. Keep it up man, wear your bloated scrotum with pride!

Still doing fine in both challenges. I also haven't had a haircut in over 3 months- I think that should earn me some extra November Points.
weakling
i think my movember progress thus far is about the same as the entirety as last year in total so i'm feeling good.
So yeah I'm late in posting here but I talked to Zacc and some others about this a few days ago on showdown so some people know what I plan on doing already. Personally, I commend you greatly if you're doing No Fap November because that would take some serious control. I don't think I could do it, and I never cared to try so yeahh. Also, for No Shave November, well uh, I'm 16 so I really can't grow a beard yet... Eventually, if I'm still here on smogon in a few years, I shall partake in No Shave November and possibly even NFN, but until then, I'll pass.
Good luck to anyone doing either of them~
