    I just found out about this NoFap yesterday while doing some research on Google. I'm 35 y/o male married and have 2 kids. I have been Fapping almost daily since I was 16. Never had an issue having sex with my wife even after fapping once or twice a day. About 10 months ago I started having testicular pain, and had to visit the Urologist, he simply gave me some meds, and without him mentioning masturbation I still slowed it down to every other day or only 3 times a week. Long story short the pain went away and I went back to my daily fap habits. I then started noticing my erections were not that powerful unless I was really close to climax. I still did not get concerned until last week while trying to have sex with my wife I was able to get it her after she stimulated me, but by the time I try to get to penetration my boner went away, she got kind of upset and got dressed and went to sleep. The next day I couldn't stop thinking about the incident and decided to give it another shot at night time. I was able to get an erection but had to stimulate it for a while and as soon as it got a bit big I was able to give her pleasure. However I know my body and I never had to work so hard to get erections before, which is why I'm really concerned now, and after reading some blogs, I also noticed I haven't had a morning erection or spontaneous erection in a very long time. I eat fairly healthy foods, but don't exercise as much, so I started doing some research to see how to fix my problem, and I came across this blog on google, and also watched a lot of guys on youtube talking about the NoFap. I was impressed to learn about it and the fact that most doctors don't even take it into consideration is insane. I got really excited to know I'm not alone, and today is day 3 of NoFap. It has not been easy since it is so easily available, knowing I'm only a few clicks away makes it really hard not to think about it. I used to go to the bathroom with my cell phone, but now I'm leaving it outside and this is helping a bit. Anyways I didn't mean to write so much but I just wanted to let everything out. I'll keep everyone posted as I start noticing any changes.
    Thank you!

    Excellent you are here!
    I am married and have been with the same women for 28 years now and porn addict since 15-17 yo. I have an erection problem (due to porn and also high blood pressure medications), but I am convinced quitting porn helps us to see life nicer. Welcome and if I can help you let me know

  3. Hey @Sebby83 ,

    I'm just a normal ordinary member. No moderator super powers and no special insite. I share my ESH (Experience, Strength and Hope) of what works for me.

    Just another warm welcome and a heart felt hello. This community has helped me so much.

    What worked for me was "working" it. It took hard work for me to complete a hard reboot (No pmo) for 120 days, then move into a Sex Positive mode.

    First, reading the literature published by NoFap itself along with reading journals.

    Then, doing the work. Writing in my journal and replying to introductions and other's journals.

    Finally, but not least, getting involved with the fellowship. I found it on the forums, but also in people's profiles. The forums tend to be longer posts, where the profiles tend to be more "conversational".

    That is what has worked for me. I like to remind myself that this community was here waiting for me with the lights on when I arrived. Now, I have to do my best to be there when someone comes to the community.

    --> L

    PS:

    One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals. Reading other's stories with their victories and even defeats is a big part of my program.

    Once you open a journal, click "Watch Thread" in the upper right of the page to get alerts when new posts are made. Here are just a few:

    There are many more, and you can discover them on your own. But, these are great places to start.

    Thanks for the feedback and hints! Like I said before it's great to know we're not alone, and opening up and admitting we have an issue feels great!
