I haven't seen a thread asking how people first heard about Nofap and I thought it might be interesting to ask. I was watching a trailer on YouTube and below the video was a nofap video that was recommended for me. It talked about some of the stuff I felt like fatigue and lack of motivation. I watched a few more videos and decided I should try it. I had some relapses before I got a good streak going and found out that there were forums.
After I couldn't get hard during sex, I vigorously researched for a few days what the hell is happening. Until I stumbled upon nofap.
From a podcast. A listener sent in an email about the practice of abstaining from fapping and how there were communities online growing as a result. He specifically named-dropped NoFap. Funny enough the podcast hosts dismissed NoFap as unnecessary and carried on. But I was curious enough about it so it stayed on my mind. A few months later I had a life-changing encounter which led me to quit PMO once and for all, then I finally came here to learn more about how to do that effectively.
I was abducted by zombie lesbian vampire space aliens who introduced me to it and threatened to chop it off unless I abstained for 40 days and 40 nights. I also found it on Google.
Lol well... I could get into details. But no need. Basically, certain topics that are common among Fapstronauts are arousing to me, so that's what I was looking for. Found it, but I also found something even better, which was the desire to quit this crap.
I knew I wasn't the only one. NoFap must have been a couple of clicks away from whatever I was originally looking for--whatever that was. I looked at a couple of the comments on the first page I saw and realized I had a problem.
When I heard of the word "fap", I thought it was a funny word. Then I had to look up nofap and discovered it was a movement. In my day it was just called jacking off or jerking off, not fapping.
I've never heard anyone say fapping in person. Its more of an internet thing. Unless someone came up with a funny name for it we called it jacking off
Yeah I pretty much just typed in "Benefits of not masturbating" on Youtube which led me here. From time to time I still like to watch success stories where people talk about their enhanced senses.
I read a confession on facebook about how bad it is to watch porn,masturbate bla3...the confessor suggested this nofap website and it got me interested...so here i am registered and ready to start my 1st day...wish me luck
youtube after trying to quit by myself I started looking at videos and nofap kept being mentioned, my mind said check it out, best choice ever
