Experience with fapping, broken down into stages (or phases?):
Stage 1 - Introduction:
>started fapping with someone for first time without meaning to
>just getting comfortable with the whole thing in this stage
>lots of cold tingly sensations like when I first saw porn at 12 by accident, the same you get when you're very afraid of being caught doing something wrong
>doesn't really feel like anything and I'm not very good or efficient at it
Stage 2 - Increasing Degeneracy:
>be given explicit permission to fap at anything I want
>still don't do it for awhile
>one day though, frustrated that I've been fapping for hours to faded memories alone and unable to cum, and given suggestion again
>start fapping to porn for first time
>guilty awful feel, feel like I'm a super degenerate Crowley, like absolute filth
>still no pleasure at all
>consider myself a worthless degenerate and think I have totally defiled myself so it doesn't matter what I do anymore, so try to fap to all kinds of strange things, but realize that the only thing I can fap to is benis in vagina, and breasts if I haven't fapped in awhile, but sodomy is revolting, ponies and anime are stupid, homosexuality makes me go completely soft even as I try to stroke myself and repulses me
Stage 3 - Pushing the Limits:
>fap as much as possible, constantly, make careful observations about the effects the whole time
>do this for like 2 weeks
>most I managed was I think 9 times in one day?
>every time I fap to porn, it becomes more difficult to fap each time
>more and more extreme stimulation is required
>to get to the 9th time I had to like play a whole bunch of clips on loop at once, and fap to them all together, with all the moaning being something akin to walking into a barn full of tons of geese making a lot of noise all at once
Stage 4 - The No Fap Stage:
>having just fapped as much as I could for like two weeks and becoming really desensitized decide to start doing no fap
>24 hours to start, then I fap, then I add on another 24 hours each time
>after first 24 hours I think I fapped to a woman and then to porn, fapped a couple times before starting 48 hours
>after that though, I only would fap once to a woman, and then I would try again from imagination and give up after awhile if I couldn't cum a second time from imagination alone
>after 72 hours of no fap, begin to notice actually experiencing some pleasure from fapping, not much but SOMETHING
>I am basically at this point just doing the no fap, then fapping once with a woman, then resuming no fap again
>pledge 96 hours and there's some intensity for maybe the first 48 hours, a bit of an actual desire to fap and not merely a desire to desire to fap, but unfortunately the desire to fap dies out and becomes a desire to desire to fap again like it always is before the rest of the time is up
>the 96 hours is completed but I have nobody to fap with immediately, so another day passes, and I end up fapping only after 110+ hours
Stage 5 - The Drought:
>at this point I don't want to do no fap anymore, the 96 hour challenge was long enough for me, and I don't feel going any longer is going to help sensitize me anymore as I already feel like I can easily cum to the slightest stimulation
>I want to focus on increasing pleasure now
>I fapped once to some erotica someone posted on /4chon/
>and I fapped one more time to some pornographic image just to confirm something; and indeed I felt absolutely no pleasure in it
