Don’t Count Streaks

Many people think counting the days without porn or masturbation helps them. But this can backfire. The goal of movements like NoFap or semen retention is to forget about these habits. Focusing on the number of days can make you obsessed with them. This obsession misses the main point of the journey.

The Problem with Counting

When you count your streak, you might think about porn and masturbation more. This can lead to stress and anxiety. Instead of moving forward, you get stuck thinking about what you are trying to avoid.

The Misleading Idea of Progress

Some believe that losing a streak means losing progress. This is not true. Progress is about growth, not just numbers. If you slip up, it does not erase your efforts. It is an opportunity to learn what led to the relapse.

Focus on Understanding, Not Counting

Instead of counting days, focus on understanding your triggers. Ask yourself:

• What caused the relapse?
• How did you feel before and after?
• What can you do differently next time?

These questions help you learn about yourself. They guide you to make better choices in the future.

Move Forward

Let go of the need to track every day. Shift your focus to building healthier habits.

• Practice mindfulness.
• Engage in activities that fulfill you.
• Connect with supportive friends or groups.

By doing this, you can forget about porn and masturbation. This is the true goal.

Remember, your journey is about growth, not numbers. Focus on becoming the best version of yourself.
