    ok, so this may sound like a kind of stupid post, but I could really do with some advice here.

    I'm 20 and have been attempting nofap for around 2 years, making it to 30 days only once.

    I'm currently on day 3 but feel as though I will continue this time for a while as I have had enough of the pmo side effects, such as: fatigue, lack of confidence, lack of motivation etc.

    I'm still a virgin and the furthest I've ever gone with a girl is just kissing. What I'm worried about is that when the times comes when I do have sex, is that I won't know what I'm doing, which makes me feel embarrassed and is playing on my mind a lot. How do people know what they're doing on the first time without making a complete mess up of things? It's all well and good watching porn, but experiencing it first hand is a totally different matter.

    On Friday I went on a night out with a friend, and approached this girl I liked in a club. I never ususally do this kind of thing, but just went for it. She started dancing with me, but I didn't have the conviction to take things to the next stage, that's my problem. I don't have the confidence, because I don't really know what I'm doing, so I end up losing the situation.

    Does anyone have any advice on how I can overcome this? I get that the more I try approach a girl the better I'll become, but I've often bee not scared to even approach mainly due to worrying about rejection; which I really think is all linked to pmo. It makes you less motivated to meet a girl, less likely to challenge yourself to do things etc
     
  2. Totally normal situation, fear not!
    You're hear to make serious inroads with quitting masturbation and pornography, so don't connect that with having moves with girls in a club.
    I assume you're quite young so just work on yourself and don't worry about what the first time might be like-it may well not be like what you have seen in Hollywood or pornography.

    Thanks for your reply. Yeah, fairly young; I'm 20. I think I'm just worried about what to expect/ especially because guys obviously have to lead. I'm not actively looking for a girlfriend right now, as I have too much on work-wise, that would be too much of a distraction for me atm. But the problem then is you become horny, and the cycle of reverting back to pmo happens..
     
  4. Girls lead also, in their own way, either directly or giving out signals. I could never spot the signals when I was younger due to a variety of issues, probably including PMO.
    Carry on mate! Women seem to be more friendly and open to communication the longer the nofap goes on...
