First of all, sorry I've not been posting much on the forums. I'm in multiple group chats, plus I live with two guys who are also doing/have done lots of self-improvement so this ends up being the last place I update anything. Makes it feel like I can only put "big" updates here, or ones specifically related to dating (even though that's not true).
I have some stories/insights etc blah blah I'll write those as they come along, but I owe you guys this one lol.

and I had been holding each other accountable for nofap (me) and noporn (him) for the past week or so. But this time it was
way
harder because I've been shooting myself up with roids and my sex drive has basically skyrocketed. I have had the urge to jerk off like 1-3x a day everyday for weeks now, which was unusual for me (even when I was actively approaching 100-200 girls a week in California, it wasn't as high).
Unlike the
last time I did nofap
, it was
extremely
difficult. At that point, I would just go out and approach any time I had the urge to jerk off, and I had like a 59 day streak or something. On the other hand, now that I haven't been regularly approaching at all, I failed twice in around a day, because I have had nothing to channel that energy into.
Failing once is okay, maybe that's a fluke. But failing twice means I have to change something.
Last Friday, Troy and lacroix had gone out to do some nightgame. I decided to stay back initially and was taking a shower.
Was literally schizzing out at not being able to jerk off and come
. I didn't want to disappoint Mimbe again, so I went out to approach instead.
I couldn't talk to a single person after taking a few laps. My usual excuses of "I'm not into these types of girls" blah blah came up (even though there were definitely 5 girls I could have opened). I sat down and wrote this on my phone in the moment:
-
Anyway, I went home and ran into Troy and lacroix in the hallway walking back with 2 girls. I passed by and chilled on the couch for a bit and observed them hanging out with the girls near the pool. Eventually the girls left and they came back to the apartment.
We were just discussing the pull for a while, it was the first time they went out together and pulled 2 girls and our apartment is a trash heap, and we didn't have a plan for handling multiple girls, not to mention we ran out of drinks. So that was basically a dud. During this conversation, we got into the topic of "difficult" conversions and unenthusiastic girls, and
lacroix has run into those before
. I realized I hardly get any pull opportunities as is, and I would like to not have the girl starfish or something the first time I get that far, and it's about time I actually gain some experience.
So I hired an escort.
Troy and some others had suggested escorts to me since November but I hummed and hawed at it for months. Eventually the only thing stopping me was "I'm too nervous and intimidated to do this", as in I would be way too nervous around the escort.
But the transient negative emotions I had from walking around outside an hour prior made me finally pull the trigger. It's like okay, do you really want to get laid or what. And that was the only reason I had gone out at night anyway.
Not to mention I was basically annoyed thinking about going through and messaging girls on dating apps (which still feels like chewing glass to me, a rejection online can take days while on cold approach the same interaction would happen over 2 minutes), fishing for their numbers, setting up the dates, only to deal with a girl who's not even actually interested in meeting me, or doesn't want to do anything if I pull, etc. Of course, that scenario will be inevitable and something to deal with, but I just wanted to get laid first!!!!!!!!
more thoughts i don't feel like writing up in this report but i feel like i should post haha
my experience with this escort was LITERALLY top 5 most nerve-wracking moments of my life, you can read about it here:
viewtopic.php?p=36390#p36390
Takeaways
The actual experience was like 20% pleasure, and 80% stress haha
But I'm really glad I did this because it's a step in making sex more normalized, so I can focus better on the actual part of dating (online and approach) without being as hyper-needy for sex since it's not this totally unknown fantasy to me anymore.
I'm probably not going to do nofap. The only reason I was doing it in the first place is because back in California when I was still natural and had a more natural increase in sex drive from approaching, jerking off made me lose motivation to go out and approach and made me pretty lazy. But it pretty much rapidly replenishes now thanks to the testosterone. Also I think being so pent up with the desire to get off made me
overly
aggressive and combined with zero calibration, I was mostly insanely jilted and way too fast when trying to escalate with girls. You can read my previous logs such as
this instadate pull in Chicago
.
I'm pretty sure I come quickly because usually when I've jerked off it was out of stress or boredom and I literally jerked off AFAP (as fast as possible) just to get it over with it so I can move on with my life. I remember doing this when I was back in college if I was distracted by being horny but needed to study, and since I was also actively suppressing my sexuality back then, I would literally just try to climax as fast as possible to get it over with. So now I have to undo that lol.
I've had a fleshlight for a few months and used it sometimes, so I'm probably going to use it every few days now regularly and try edging->climaxing so I'm not just hyper desperate and horny to get off, especially since my sex drive bounces back very quickly now.
I was talking with
@arcade_fireee
, and he had mentioned that if you have little to no sex, the psychological excitement factor is way too high. With my experience, the first like 10-15 minutes was a total blur and felt like 2 minutes (I only was aware it was 15 mins because there was an alarm clock). But just knowing what sex is like means I have that reference experience in my head now which should prove to be valuable.
And
@september
has said that girls actually find it hot if you come quickly and acknowledge "it was because you were so hot", since they find it extremely validating. So if something like that happens again, I'll know how to play it off.
