I just wish I had a girlfriend anons. I can't do No Fap because then I start to dream of cuddling girls in my sleep and raising a large happy family. It is far worse than any sexual temptation since it begins to affect me on a deep psychological level. If I had a girlfriend I would be so much better. It would start a chain of beneficial events. I am sad bros. Normally I try and forget about it, but I just can't anymore. I have lost the opportunity for youthful love. I will never find a girl living in nowhere-land like I do. I can't even become a monk since I will tormented all my life, thinking that I am doing it simply as a cope and an escape. It's all so tiring friends. I hope you are doing well.

About 10 months ago, I started writing light hearted fantasy romance novel about a young knight and a tsundere warrior princess who team up to battle an evil wizard. It's currently around 30k words. I don't anticipate any level of success, but I think it will be cathartic to finish.
I've only ever written light hearted, cheesy high school/college romance stories. Every attempt I've made at writing something serious has been disastrous.

it's harder these days because smaller/more intimate communities (like a tf2 server in my case) are being replaced by big social media platforms with short-term and impersonal interaction, like you pointed out. i know you said you didn't like discord but that's your best bet i think. try finding a discord about an interest you have. personalities click much more easily when the two people have something they're both passionate about in common. that's my best advice

You have some other issue that your original fapping habits were used to cope with. I’ve read lots of pseudo bullshit like “sexual transmutation”, “life’s only goal as a man is to please women” and semen retention, and it all sounds like something a snake oil salesman would say.

There are benefits in curbing and controlling any habit that’s become an addiction, so don’t get me wrong; but the magical effects you seek are not there.

Whatever your issue was beforehand needs to be identified and then solved

I am a sick man. ... I am a spiteful man. I am an unattract-ive man. I believe my liver is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for cer-tain what ails me. I don’t consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine and doctors. Be-sides, I am extremely superstitious, sufficiently so to respect medicine, anyway (I am well-educated enough not to be su-perstitious, but I am superstitious). No, I refuse to consult a doctor from spite. That you probably will not understand. Well, I understand it, though. Of course, I can’t explain who it is precisely that I am mortifying in this case by my spite: I am perfectly well aware that I cannot ‘pay out’ the doctors by not consulting them; I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else. But still, if I don’t consult a doctor it is from spite. My liver is bad, well—let it get worse!

Seek God, he may or may not repair your liver but will provide you the peace and solace that comes with being on the correct path. Remember he loves you regardless if you love him or not.
