    Hello Shiro and welcome to NoFap. Even though you think you are very addicted at the moment, your brain can get fully rebooted back to normal if your just give it enough time without porn, masturbation and sex. On how long it takes, I need more information about exactly how severe your addiction is, but because you are so young my guess will be around 6-9 months.

    Maybe. When you watch porn at a young age, the brain is better at creating neural pathways in the brain and therefore it will take longer to get rid of your porn addiction, compared to someone starting in their late twenties or thirties. Now I don't know for how long you watch porn each time you masturbate, but if you do it 2-8 times a day, I could imagine you maybe watched it for one or two hours every day. In the course of three years, that's between 1000 and 2000 hours of porn watching, which is a long time. But then again you've only been watching it for 3 years which is a short time compared to other people on this site, including myself, so maybe you only need 3-6 months, but nobody can be certain how long time you need. Just prepare yourself for one year without porn and I think you should be fine. Don't think the 90 days are enough to cure you, because it's probably not.
     
  7. Yes it can take along time. And it can be longer for young men growing up watching porn because its practically in everyones pocket. Men 40+ didn't have this "luxury" as they had to rely on difficult ways of getting porn when they were younger. It blew my mind when I learned about this older men can recover quicker when putting age into the topic.

    If you can get hard watching porn, your dick is totally fine (please don't test yourself, just remember that your dick was hard last time you watched porn). And no a reboot will never make you impotent for the rest of your life, but maybe for a period of time during the flatline. Just stay strong and your dick will be fine.

    Try not to focus on the days too much but do set a couple goals for yourself . For you it's not the matter of how many days will you heal because honestly you never really know... what matters is are you taking action into "not watching porn" at all . That's the first step into recovery & once you start doing that, you'll be recovered sooner than you might think .

    A tree doesn't grow overnight... remember that . :emoji_smirk:

    So? There is reason to be afraid?
     
  13. 6-9 months?! Thats crazy where did you pull this out from..
     
  14. He pulled it out of his arse. No but for real the stuff can be found the YBOP website. Also it could be 6-9 months but its not ever a set number, some recover quicker and some take longer to recover.

  17. Well it seems everybody here says 90 days, not 6 months like this praying mantis saying. Everybody's case is different
     
  18. "praying mantis"? What?

    Who is the expert, the scientist or everybody here? Very few people can reboot in 90 days. As he said, it is only the older guys 40+ that can do it in <=90 days.

    The more you get into a healthy life style the faster you will heal and reboot. If you get into exercise, eating good food, and meditating you will change your body chemestry and reboot way faster then if you just lay around eating junk food watching tv.. so Get out of the house, go for a run, go to the gym. Your body is a tool, when you sharpen it and take great care of it and build self esteam you will feel great and your reboot will be faster.. you will feel better and build charisma and self esteam.

    First of all I really appreciate your presence here.I congratulate you for joining us and trying to improve your life.Welcome!
    and about the question you asked.
    Well it's different for everyone.Some people take less time while others may experience more relapses and therefore they need more time to recover.
    My advice for you is to start small, which means settting little and achievable goals for yourself.Since you're doing this everyday so maybe your first goal should be spending a day without masturbation.After achieving that goal set harder one for yourself like 2 days.Don't forget to give yourself a prize after each victory.You deserve it no matter what!

    I recommend you to read a little bit about semen and seminal energy.
    Semen consists of over 200 separate proteins, as well as vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, calcium, chlorine, citric acid, fructose, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, vitamin B12, and zinc .
    As you can see semen is a really valuable fluid.Knowing this will help you to have better control over this addiction.Because you know what you're losing everyday.(I don't mean to pressure yourself.But for me it was a revelation to know what I AM REALLY doing to my body so it helped me to slow it down at least in the beginning)

    Try to ask yourself why you're masturbating that much? what feelings are you trying to escape?
    What is that makes you want to masturbate? Someday you masturbate 2 times other days 8 times.try to discover what makes these days different.I bet it's stress and anxiety.

    Try to meditate daily and write down a journal before bed.that helps a lot.Don't be so hard on yourself and give yourself some time.rebooting will always take some time.This addiction can't go away over night cause it's not how it's shaped either.Read the free guide which is available in this website(It was emailed to you I assume).

    Nofap community will always support you.You're not alone in this!Make sure you post daily threads so we may help you with whatever you need.
    GOOD LUCK!
