I realized how much different it is being under nofap and being under daily fap, and I found the differences to be very stark - everything from mood to social behaviour to work performance felt negative under fap my outlook on people changed (objectifying women), my outlook on life turned grim, more pessimism, etc. Only at this point, and this point specifically, I realized the benefits of nofap. Then at 62 days I relapsed and ran marathons of fapping for a week. Basically, the benefits of nofap were occurring but I didn't realize most of them apart from an elevated mood. After about a month, I unconsciously stopped "looking for results" and nofap became like a daily routine that you don't even think about much (like brushing your teeth everyday, or drinking water). This is what I felt,įirst few weeks didn't feel fuckall except me telling myself that I'm accomplishing something. The longest I went way 62 days once, and 60 days once before. On the other hand I feel that if you dwell on the day counter and all you are thinking about is uggggh another day I can't fap, is probably a relapse just waiting to happen. On one hand I like the day counter because it gives me that little bit of a boost because it showing me my progress. I feel like there should be some balance. Before i would always snooze my alarm until I really had no time left whatsoever but lately I have been able to get up, and go about my day. Just so I can help out anyone else who may be reading and are skeptical about the benefits, While I am not sure on which day I,started feeling this way, (I should keep a journal) lately I do feel like I have more energy. I do not know what came over me as of late but I have managed to stick to nofap for 11 days I think so far, right now my simple goal is to get past 13 days which was the highest I have ever went, and then further from there. I am also pretty new to the nofap journey, I started in the summer and it has mostly been a few day streaks and then relapse binges, and rinse and repeat.

I'd rather be depressed than both guilty and depressed. My favorite benefit so far has to be not feeling any guilt. but I mean, hell, the things that I've done should count as a relapse but I'm just gonna try to pretend it never happened. Sure, it's a tough sacrifice, but listen, sacrifices need to be made to accomplish your dreams, and you'll be proud of yourself once you hit day 20, 30, 40, 90, 100 etc.īut yeah. Don't waste your time with what pathetic losers posts online. Listen, if what you're thinking about, or what you're looking at gives you a boner, then there is something definitely wrong there. Wherever you are in the no PMO lifestyle, you're gonna get to a point where your mind will become so desperate that it will trick you into thinking that "what you're looking at isn't so bad". It's in websites, books, movies, tv, video games, art, your imagination, and in real life. Yes, Twitter! (It was really hard to get off of it too admittedly.) That's the age we live in. I've been done that, and yet, today I still found myself somehow finding a substitute porn profile on Twitter. It's one of the most important parts of this lifestyle.

You really just gotta delete all your porn sites and keep your search history clear man.

Because of this, I've gotten several erections, but like I said I have learned to avoid this. I have since then learned to avoid this, (I have a little mental trick that's kinda hard to explain but I would go into detail if someone wants me to). For one, occasionally I would feel demotivated and that would lead me to start thinking about the women, stories, and images I used to jack off to. This second week however, has been tough.

Much easier to work out, little to no guilt, and a lot more motivation. Seriously, I think the first week was the best I've felt in years. Nothing really interesting happened on the first week other than a complete burst of energy. I have so many reasons for why I want to do this, but that list is so long and isn't really the point of this post. So I am currently on day 16 as I've told myself 16 days ago that I will never masturbate again, and so far I really think I have made the right decision.
