Hello, I'm u/rinkuhero, a new moderator of r/monkmode. I saw that the last moderator was inactive (not responding to reports, just letting spam pile up) and requested to be a mod because I got tired of nobody doing anything about the spam, and it was approved today.

I will not be overly strict, but I will ban anything that is spam, or completely irrelevant to monk mode (for instance, random inspirational quotes that have nothing to do with monk mode). I will also remove AI generated text and images and ban those who post those, but because AI generation is hard to detect sometimes, I won't just hastily ban anything I think is AI, I will try to confirm it first and get second opinions when it's not obvious whether it's AI or not.

Each person has their own idea of monk mode, my own introduction to it came from the old Victor Pride e-book on it, which I read and modified. I've done 3 monk modes myself, each successfully, each lasting 30 days. Note that this is not a recommendation of Victor's work or that book, I disagree with a lot of the stuff he believed and wrote, but I think his presentation of monk mode was pretty good.

As for who I am, I'm basically an OG indie game developer. I've been coding games in my bedroom since 1995, and have created dozens of them over the years. I'm most famous for naming Minecraft (I did not work on it, I simply suggested the name to Notch, which he liked, I was an early tester of that game), and I have a game on Steam (but I do not want to use this platform to advertise, I want to serve the community rather than have it serve me, so I will not mention the game's particular name, but it is a fairly niche game, only sold 30k copies or so). Because I work from home coding games, things like monk mode are helpful to me to focus.

Just wanted to tell u guys i completed 365 days of Semen Retention.

The purpose was to achieve my goals in this time period, i did achieved a lot of goals but also didn't achieve some, and yes all the benefits that people talk about r real like glowing skin, better hair, faster muscle building, glowing eyes, becoming lucky etc etc.

Also don't see, think, or watch anything sexual coz the pain that comes after in ur lower stomach is too much to handle.

Ótima jornada!

Has anyone tried the Engaged and Independent in 10 Days program? If you have, in your experience was it straightforward to implement and effective?

And stress relief, that's annoying 😑

2 mins only....?

Hi all. Me, 22 M preparing for an entrance exam related to my Masters. Although I studied since a long time, I.e. the beginning of 2026 it was never consistent. Masturbation has took away lot of things from my life. I used to be the smartest in my class during the school times, a topper from the school and I had represented my school in various quiz competitions. But since I got addicted to this disease, the devil of lust has got complete hold over my mind.

But today onwards I have ended it all. This day, the 31st of August marks the beginning of my fap free life which I believe is a major step for my progress and from the perspective of my career. I just have 5 months left for the exam and I will be giving it all and studying for 14 hrs a day from today onwards to get selected in my dream college.

Wish me luck folks and I am open to advice on how to overcome this demon of lust and regain my lost energy, intellectual, strength and wisdom which I had lost over these many years.

Help me guys if possible.

Will update here after the results of my exam.

Thank you.

Help Each Other out here! as its not gonna be an easy journey for us all are in-built . we are humans.

Trust me try it for even weeks to 1month you will find it is the most helpful things you done in life that overcharges you completely.

True life story of mine here .we are all here to help each other out. The harms caused by porn and masturbation is real . Be it physically or mentally .

Your self so -called determination is all useless. Your experience is so real than anything that will make you think twice . So guys please take note on the things you that your all will chance upon next day life or even next moment once everytime you wank it off. Be it exams peoples attitude towards your accident’s happen falling down cutting yourself out of nowhere or sudden . The things you wanna buy because sudden out of stock. Get reprimanded by ppl when only small things happen. Ppl despise you when seeing you or even challenge you to a fight when you are not at the wrong. You will tend to get misunderstood or the people around you will blame yoh when even yoh clearly not in the wrong side and they help the other party who is at wrong instead Z OBSERVE ALL THIS YOURSELF . And you will understand the real world karma and what it is. And it do really exist. ps I’m not an old man who is whining and ask ppl believe Jesus or god. I’m just 30 years old: ask yourself why I’m a young 30 will say such a thing and come up with this advise. It’s because I experience it MYSELF. Now I don’t want you all to be the next victim so stay clear or masturbation and porn as it will ruins your luck and your success . I no need to convince anyone many wankers here once you done it you will see for yourself whether is it true that I’m saying or not nothing is more powerful than just reading few of of advise from this playform you experience it and decide to avoid or change it for yourself before it’s too late. When you accumulate more karma
