Today i hit 30 days of NoFap

[Infern0]

After a year on and off since my 90 day streak.

All i can say is **** that habit

Porn has to go man, drains you, gives you brain fog, makes you lazy

Literally do not miss it at all.

 

[Desdinova]

This is something I've been thinking about lately. I must ask though... What is the purpose of giving it up. I'm not talking about porn (I don't own any), I just mean fapping.

Fapping by itself isn't a huge problem it's mostly the porn so unless you are jerking off a lot you are probably fine.

I'm day three now. Determined to give it a proper go this time round. Like, at least a month as well. Had a moment of weakness last night and checked a few pictures online. But moved away as soon as something started stirring.

I need further motivation and energy to go out and pull something real. I usually start feeling really on edge by day 5. So by the time the weekend rolls round I should be in the mood to displace some surplus energy. This, in addition to my new found sobriety will work wonders.

What is the purpose of giving it up.

Different for everyone. And there's little or no evidence to suggest weather effects are chemical or psychological / placebo. But some things I notice personally....

-Increase in energy, especially in the gym.
-Increased mental focus and improved attention span.
-Increased sensitivity and size downstairs.
-More checking out women, and they check me out more.
-More positive and stable mood.

From a bro who has done 90 days.

Care to elaborate? What did you find?

I've gone 100+ days with no porn and no jerking it. My issue is, eventually I lost.my ability to hold/get erections. It was the oddest thing. Then after I jerked it, boom, morning wood, horniness and erections are stronger than ever. No idea why that happened but it is something to be aware of.

This is very interesting. I notice that when I watch porn and masturbate, my soul gets drained and I feel week. If I masturbate without watching porn, I also feel drained, but I recover faster and the next day I am also horny. It somehow feels like the act of watching something waaaay too stimulating is too taxing for the brain, yet it is smart enough to not reward you as you didnt actually have sex.

 

[BetterCallSaul]

I think every guy is a little different. I would recommend getting rid of porn, but going no fap? Let that be a personal decision. Some guys have reported that it takes a couple months to see the real benefits...I can sort of confirm this myself. The thinking is that it forces your brain to reset sort of from no longer having the exposure to porn that it became used to. I can NOT report any sort of success with going no porn and no fap and having miraculous rock hard erections like I had when I was 17. So if you think that'll happen if you do all this, think again.

If you're having a hard time adjusting from hardcore porn, try gradually reducing that. So instead, for the first few days, only look at pics of naked chicks. Then stop doing that later on.

It's actually the reverse. The hard stuff doesn't bother me so much. It's the softer photos of the 9's and 10's that appeal more. Shouldn't be too bad. I think of all my vices this should be one of the easier to knock on the head, so long as I find other outlets, so to speak

 

[resilient]

With porn use, you over-exposure the brain with pleasure chemicals like dopamine, seratonin, oxytocin, and epinephrine. (Infographic) So in a sense, you're tricking your brain into thinking it's meeting its sex need for love and belonging. The fapping decreases motivation to approach or take care of 'needs' with plate(s).

Yeah I'm kinda the same. Like if I put in my mind that I'm not gonna fap or do anything, I don't even get random boners anymore. Like even if I see a hot chick I won't even get aroused. But I think it was just the mental aspect of me having to stop. If I go NoFap without thinking about it (like say a few weeks just because it never really crosses my mind to jerk it) then I can still get hard.

I believe there is no difference. Both are just artificial stimulations. No matter what appeals most, both work the same way.
That creates a strong addiction.

 

[Juanto]

I mostly only come now from sex, and cutting out porn for around 30 days and reducing fapping to like once a week has helped my erections immensely

 

[BrandonCodi]

I always do no fap I am going to stay on no fap forever for this HUGE reason, I was always lucky with getting action. I was just in the right place at the right time kinda deal, but when I stopped masturbating I started to want to jack off so bad so I made myself go to the mall to talk to girls. This was a great choice because I met a 8 outta 10 in the mall. She was a Brazilian babe and we talked for around 5 minutes I then made a move and got a make-out in the middle of the mall. We also has some really great sex the next day too. I got to watch that Brazilian Booty Bounce. (Time frame was 32 days without faping before getting super sex)

Interesting how its so mental. Honestly, I jerk off now if I want to, and if I don't, I don't . I feel like nofap really only benefits you if you're a porn addict.

After 90 days...

Been six days for me... I'll see if I make 30 days this month.
