    Hi All,

    I am on my 70+ days streak, my goal is PMO (Semen Retention). I started this with about 20% confidence in NoFap.

    But now, my world has changed. I believe 1000% in noFap

    Just a little background, I am in my late 30's, separated, not at all great looking (but have been regular to the gym).
    After starting nofap, around day 20 or 24, I noticed that i was getting attention from the females. And not just attention, some were smiling or just starting normal conversations. This happened on and off, so few days I would get attention and other days, I would not. Past day 60, it became more consistent. And then , magic happened. An attractive young female (about 28-29 year old) approached me and asked me out for a date! I have known her from the past 1 yr. but she never seemed interested in me before. Now she is head over heels falling for me.

    Another thing that happened was that people started paying attention to me. Earlier, I would speak and someone would either speak over me or would not pay attention to what I am saying. Now when I speak, I get 100% undivided attention of people. I feel more confident, attractive and look younger!

    NoFap has changed my life. I honestly don't care if it's placebo effect, due to semen retention or just a chemical reaction in my brain. It works because I believe in it. This is how faith works and things move.

    So have 100% faith in the process. This is not a punishment, cherish the journey and reap the benefits

    Thanks! The first 2 weeks are the worst. Then the urges subside. I felt P.A.W.S were more problematic than urges. I still get a few days where i feel extremely sad. But this is part of the process.

    I am on 8 day. Not feeling sexual urges as such but feeling anxious. It's like somethings in going on in background but I am oblivious. I am not feeling like Doing it but anxiety. Hope I will go through it.

    Congratulations man!

    I just wanted to ask, when did you start experiencing withdrawals, and what were the symptoms?

    This is an inspiring story. I have experienced some of those benefits, they are real. My greatest challenge right now is objectifying women. Like a great deal of women I see, I find myself thinking sexually about them. Any insight from you guys?

    P.A.W.S started after 2 weeks. I experienced extreme mood swings, Anhedonia, and body pain. The worst is over, but some days, I still feel demotivated

    Buddy, you would need to consciously look away and break your train of though if you start objectifying women. I used to chant a mantra to divert my attention and break the habit. Even now, If my thoughts wander, I chant and move my eyes away. It can be any mantra, chant or affirmation, the objective is to divert attention. Give it a try!

    Rate your errection strength/hardness out of 10. Before and after reboot. And at what day did you get your first morning wood.

    Buddy, I am still in reboot. The beauty of semen retention is that I do not care about erection or morning wood. Everyone has a different body and level of addiction. Currently I can get hard by thinking about women or if a girl talk to me in a suggestive way. I used to get an early morning wood at 4 AM after 40 days of noFap (Crazy, i used to get up and then it was hard for me to sleep). Now i get a good morning wood on some days, but no pattern.

    Congratulations!! So inspiring!
    I hope to be there someday, still nervous for those difficult moments or like you say lonely days as I have yet to face them. I just know it’ll be worth it but hope to resist the urges when they come

    Buddy, look at the positive side of things. Just see my post in Dating during Reboot section, you will understand what I am saying.
