i haven't had an orgasm in 800 days according to noFap. its easy. just do a painting that requires so much concentration you'll have no choice but to stop masturbating.

try this. im not saying it'll work for you but it worked for me

set up an easel and a canvas so it blocks out what is behind the canvas. then paint what you think is behind it, like you are filling in a puzzle.

it's really difficult to set up and accomplish, and i've yet to do a good painting that way, but it requires a ton of concentration and discipline to both be able to remember what you blocked out and not look behind the canvas for hints.

i've been doing work inspired by magritte's paintings. magritte i discovered after doing paintings like this, but nonetheless are the best way of describing them.

I paint from memory by putting a canvas up on the easel in front of what I'm about to paint so that it blocks out the image behind it. I then paint what I think goes there from my memory.
