I quit smoking over 20 years ago...best thing I've ever done (except the 'I gained 20 pounds in 20 minutes part')

I vape now also, which satisfies my desire to see smoke come from my mouth But the important word here is vice. It is so important that when a vice or habit is given up something positive takes it's place. The temptations and cravings will be so much easier to get past if a new, positive activity is added. As Big said above, weight gain is a major issue with quitting smoking so a great replacement would be cardio or some sort of exercise to keep the weight away. I only really was irritated for the first 2 weeks then it evened out. Today, I still have the desire to smoke, just like I still have the desire to fap out, the difference is I have become the mastered them, they no longer master me!

I only buy tanks that I can build the coils myself. I did recently buy my wife a TFV8 Baby Beast and need to buy her some coils soon but that's it for tanks with prebuilt coils.
I also have been mixing my own liquid for almost 2 years. The first few months I mixed crap with very little flavor. Then I started learning how to layer flavors and now I mix some really good stuff. It's a ton cheaper to mix your own but you've got to put in the time to learn and do it. For $200 I can buy enough stuff to mix almost 2 gallons of liquid. You can spend $200 on "premium" liquid and maybe get just over 1 liter.
Okay enough of that, I'm rambling

They are so into this it is crazy! They build their own mods. They create the best juice too! We print all their labels and T-shirts.

Science and Medicine know very little about the inner-workings of our brains, (and everyone's chemical makeup is different) so predicting/anticipating/circumventing what Nature's intended is a dangerous game of Endorphin Roulette. I akin this to a mobile over a child's crib...touch one unicorn and the elephant moves, steady the zebra and the giraffe goes ape (see what I did there, lol). If you put a stopper in something that's not designed to be corked, you'll eventually have an explosion. Much better to have many small tremors than an 8.6 quake
p.s. luv ya, man

Its something we want and need..GOD knows us all
cladre60;730303 said:I still have to go back to the "body was meant to do certain things so often" thing that others are saying. If God didn't intend for us to need a sexual release at certain intervals then our mentalities would not change when we go without that release. The problem is when it becomes an obsession, interferes with our regular lives or relationships, or damages us or others. That's when you cross the line from normal to glutton.
These cookies taste good. I'm going to eat a few.
That's okay.
I'm going to eat nothing but cookies. I'm 400lbs overweight, I'm diabetic now, my wife left me, I lost my job because I can't physically get there and do it, I can't take care of myself anymore....
We are hedonistic and rational (I'm speaking about men, women are, well who knows what they are). We will seek pleasure but when we abuse it then there's a problem.
In this case you became so sexually frustrated that you began taking it out on others. God obviously doesn't want you to do that. At the same time God doesn't want you watching ���� for 6 hours and masturbating the entire time.
Find your peaceful medium, where you're healthy and happy but not destroying yoursef.
And please, no matter what, do NOT feel riddled with guilt when you do masturbate. It will negatively impact you if you are ever in a relationship again.
I know you view things differently than I do in terms of what God does and doesn't want but I do know that God doesn't want you being hostile with others because you're refusing to masturbate. And even though we were created in his image we are still animals. We are imperfect creatures with certain biological functions that must occur. One of them for men is regular ejaculation. If I get to day 6 I am nonstop thinking about sex. If I get to day 8 or 9 I am physically uncomfortable. Not a crawling in my skin uncomfortable but urination isn't normal (frequent sudden urges) and I feel bloated inside. I will, without question, masturbate if that's my only option so I can feel comfortable again.

I know personally about the ���� thing, as in not so easy to just close your eyes, imagine something and masturbate. Perhaps by morning, when you have the morning wood (several times I've done this), but the release feels so different. Of course it's about the dopamine and other stuff releasing; with ���� the effect is much higher. Without the release might not feel so great; the inner wirings of our brains are so complicated!
arkailija;730322 said:On another health related side, if there's no ejaculation, there can be "acne" inside your penis, as in black heads and such. I read about this longer time ago, would take a moment to find the article, if someone is interested let me know.
Other more known part is about the prostate, so releasing few times a week is actually good for the prostate. I've had some occasions where I've gone several days without a release (I mean, often I release daily) and when I released I felt pain in my PC muscles! Thankfully it went away quite quick, but the first shock felt so strange.

Big Schwanz Acht;730383 said:No need to 'correct' what is not 'broken'. So much time/effort/energy is expended in suppressing The Natural Order. Whatever mental road-map directing you down the path of guilt and shame for essentially practicing a normal bodily function, needs a re-set.
Big Schwanz Acht;730440 said:Maybe we should rename the thread to 'No ���� For 90 Days' challenge??
K, non-sequitur alert...I appreciate the creativity in which your brain works. Too many only see the issue myopically, there are many ways to skin that kitty!!
