    Good evening gents,

    I'm 17 years old and some weeks am lasting an entire week while some weeks I'll fap every day. I am a very happy and driven individual with no mental health issues what so ever. I'm most definitely not addicted to pornography but I've heard of it's affects on personal relationships and long term brain functions. My question is, with being a non pornography addicted teenager that isn't having any problems that requires a "reboot" will it be beneficial for me as an individual to exercise self control and put this energy towards continually bettering myself? I'm new to NoFap so if this is discussed in another thread please feel free to direct me in the right direction.

    In the past yes,and the practice of pmo made me more subdued . When I was 17 I can clearly remember faping every morning before highschool and I clearly remember I didn't really care about socializing with females only if it could result leading me towards sex . I was successful getting girls in school but looking back at it didn't help me with my relationships with them because I was always making decisions in the direction of sex . Also I used pmo as a tool so women wouldn't influence me. I needed to be practicing nofap redirecting my sexual energy into school work my hobbies and my sports . Using your sexual energy needs be used as a tool . Having sex with a women or a relationship is not bad but getting highjacked by your hormones can lead you to not reaching your full potential .

    You and I seem to be very much alike. I've started NoFap as an experiment and I already felt quite unexplainable benefits after 3 to 4 days. If I was you, I would just start and see what the challenge brings for you. It certainly can't hurt you :)

    My personal advice would be to stop now while you can, make your life easier. Why wait until you are addicted?
    And why start a habit which leads to all the mental and physical distress you can read about in the posts on this forum?
    You may find it harder than you think to stop. Give it a go !
