    It was in 2016 that I came across some YouTube videos talking about the wrong effects of masturbation that I got interested to know more. I saw videos about 'NoFap' which was all new to me. I watched a video about a guy called Andrew where he explained exactly how quitting masturbation helped him. I was so surprised at the benefits he talked about there. Right then and there I started with my abstaining period. I went for 2 and a half months then relapsed. Started again for 3 months. I remember the benefits I felt were out of this world. I could walk around people without giving a damn, my legs felt strong, I could look at anyone straight in the eye with no fear, my body was alive in the sense that I could appreciate my body parts and was so content with having them. I also got like a glimpse of when I was a boy how life was so precious in that I felt innocent, new and born again. I remember feeling the wind blow my face, it felt so new and sweet. I also recall looking at my room that day and boy! The walls, the floor, just everything about my surroundings was alive, ever thing just felt insync with my being(I can't explain) I asked myself where has this feeling been along. I cursed pornography and masturbation from that day onwards. I thank God for the guys who helped me overcome this by sharing their stories.

    The anticipation of that feeling is what will pull me through. Just started my first 21 day challenge. Thanks for these inspiring words!

    This gives me so much motivation man. I’m on day 18 and I haven’t been feeling good. I’m in a flatline ffs. Bro, what day exactly did you start feeling good again? Because this is so depressing

    Damn dude. Thanks for this post. What you described is exactly what I want to achieve. I'm only at day 37, had some benefits at the start but now I'm feeling normal but with more lust for normal girls.

    I've had the social sharpness and confidence before so I know they can happen, but right now I almost feel like they didn't even exist. Not that I couldn't live without them but since I've tasted them I'm really looking forward to the day where I can describe myself and my experience of being with those words you used.

    Thanks again and best of luck bro.

    I confirm, the benifits the benifits you speak of, i experienced them (during my longest streak).
    To any new Nofappers THE BENEFITS ARE REAL, they are the default state that was meant for us but we settled for far less.

    Contradictory to NoFap, it's very unfortunate that most of the websites on internet claim masturbation to be completely healthy, they goes to the extent that one who do not masturbates is harming one's health. So it is very saddening at least for me.
    Rest, you did a wonderful job. Two thumbs up and never look back to PMO ever again in your life. Good luck

    During one of my longest streak:
    - My social anxiety disappeared, no more awkwardness when talking to people (even while talking to an attractive female).
    - A surge of confidence; i could make confident eye contact during conversations easily.
    - (i've always been a funny guy) but it became easier & effortless to joke and make friends laugh.
    - My memory improved significantly.
    - I felt an increase in my willpower.
    - but my favorite benefit was : that i began to enjoy everything in a new way even the smallest things. Music sounded 2x more enjoyable, a flower by the side of the road (something i wouldn't have noticed before) seamed extraordinary. the world felt alive colorful and beautiful.
    I don't know whether this sense of wonder persists or not (because i relapsed), but i would guess that one gets used to the world-being-amazing, it probably becomes the new normal. :) idk
