Hiii everyone! I just made it to 90 days on hard mode, huge milestone. It was quite a journey to resist this long. A couple of thoughts from what I experienced. Around day 65 I was going home from an NA meeting I drove by a really hot girl who was standing right next to the road and selling herself. I got so turned on then I drive around a few times but didn't stop. For a few nights, especially that night, I was dreaming about that girl but I didn't gave in. Around day 75 had a wet dream. At day 89 I saw another hot girl on YouTube and I started to search from more but I realised what was I doing and I get up and went to the gym and had a good workout. I forgot about that girl and the rest of the day was OK. The benefits that I noticed: better eye contact (still need to learn how to do it ), better focus on studies,more confident, calmness, morning wood starting to appear, attention from girls, lose some weight. I started a casual conversation with a girl from a gym and she friended me on fb, started to talk and I think we will go out. Apart from that I got random smiles from girls out of nowhere and also I am starting to see their true beauty , I don't want just to f*ck them. Almost everyday I read inspirational stories from Nofap to keep my motivation up. I made up my mind to become a doctor and my main motivation is that I don't want mess things up while I am studying. This keeps me determined to continue my streak. From every fapstronaut out there who is struggling, keep moving forward no matter what. It's hard to do it, especially with so much temptation everywhere but it is so worth it. I feel that I'm becoming the best version of myself. I am really grateful to this community for helping me stay clean for so long. Stay strong everyone, we are the people who are changing things for better in this world.
Awesome bro! Great Job, congrats!!! Your post is so relatable. Glad you didn't relapse because of that hot girl on the street. It takes a lot to stay firm...I am Happy for the benefits you are experiencing. Goodluck with the girl from gym. [its f hard to even have a conversation with any girl at gym coz they have their headphones on all the F time] ...Which habits have helped you get here? I'm 32, we fall in the same age group roughly, I would like to know more about success story. Were there any daily habits that have helped you?
The thing that helped me the most was that I started to study medicine 3 months ago and I knew that I can't make it through if I watch porn. I was using porn multiple times a day even for a few hours, and I knew that I don't have time to waste when I have so much to study. In order to become a good doctor I need to quit porn. So basically I found what I truly wanted in life and with every cell of my body i choose to never let it go. Being on this website from a few years now I knew how much semen retention can help so I went for it. I want to focus the sexual energy to study, to train in gym and become the best version of myself. The habbits that I did almost everyday was: going to gym, reading succes stories on this website, cold showers,fasting, healthier food. My suggestion is try to find something so important, an idea maybe, which gives you the strength to quit porn forever(that worked for me). If you have more questions I am happy to answer. Stay strong!
did you happen to gain self confidence and reduced social anxiety also? im at day 81 so im almost at 90 days but dont see any noticeable improvements in my confidence with women or social anxiety. am i doing something wrong perhaps? weird thing there was actually 1 day where i barely had any anxiety and felt like i had no f’s given type of attitude but all disappeared after 1 day. so it was like it was just a free trial or something. dont know if i am flatlining or not cause i still have urges and get real horny.
Just like you I have days when I don't fear anything and normal days. The normal days are those when I'm not that confident. I think my brain needs more healing time. I am trying to be patient with the benefits hopefully they will have a bigger impact with each day that I am not PMO-ing. I was very focused on my streak and the benefits but somehow I realised that my focus should be on studies and on things which can improve me as a person. Nofap is starting to become a lifestyle for me and I realised that I have lots of free time which I can use more efficiently. Be patient and improve yourself.
i only really felt it for one day. but one thing that makes my anxiety 10x worse is consumption is energy drinks. i don’t know what it is but since i been starting nofap they been making me feel extra paranoid, drain all the energy i have that i can’t even work out. but so far the only benefits i received is pretty much no acne on my face. i don’t even need to take any pills for my skin.
I think what happened is normal. You took out the porn addiction which was huge dopamine and serotonin creator and you needed something to put back in to gave you the same level of this hormones. It happened to me too. I was addicted to coffee, then fast food, then sugar and so on. Now I managed to have a balance but it required work : Like eating heatier, going to gym, reducing coffee and so on. Also this is what u need to do. Try to have a balanced lifestyle without falling into other addictions.
got you. its just easier and more convenient eating shitter as well tasting better when you work 8 hour days monday through friday. also never had a porn addiction to begin with just was addicted to masturbating from age 13 to now 27 multiple times a day. although i did need porn to get an erection faster but i can quit it fairly easy. but will my diet cancel out the benefits though?
On contrary the diet should have a positive affect on the benefits. Just think about it. Healthier lifestyle, more energy, better looks all these results in increasing confidence.
so am i allowed to have a balance then in my diet? its just i get serious withdrawals from not consuming any sugar, soda, ect and doesn’t become worth it for me.
i had another question i had anal pain and irritation in my urethra for a long time now, is this caused by over masturbating and will it leave soon? been to many doctors but everything looked normal.
Sincerely I don't know. Give Nofap a try if it doesn't heal you should ask more doctors. Anyway don't neglect it.
should be interesting where it takes me. on day 84 and it seems like my energy levels are boosted and are back. only thing that makes me tired is sugar. indulging in stuff like soda and sweets makes me want to fall asleep. other than that, feel better in that regard. bet i would feel even better if i had better eating habits. on the other hand it seems like my social anxiety and general anxiety is worse than when i was fapping. i just hope to god i get actual confidence with approaching women, once i do, my dating life will be so much better and my options will be endless. not only shying away and limiting myself to dating apps. good luck also to you to.
Well done. I’m always inspired by people who have done nofap and then learned to read and write. I have a disability and I can’t read or write. I’m amazed. For 34 years I have been trying to read and write but I can’t do it. Can I ask, where did you learn to read and write?
I'm confused. You just write a comment and obviously read my previous one. I don't understand what u mean.
You are a literate person. Is this normal for you or did you acquire this ability through NoFap and childhood education?
