    hi everyone! My name is Brandon and I am from Michigan. I have a pretty active lifestyle and love going on adventures — whether it be traveling, hiking, or new experiences — I love a good thrill.

    Lately, I’ve noticed a HUGE decrease in mental strength , more lethargic, a very low libido, and began thinking I was really suffering from ED. All I could think to myself is, “ I am 23 years old how in the hell am I already suffering from this!?”

    I would watch porn or scroll through pictures at least 3-4 times a day and do the deed. I started getting more curious on ways to steer away from that, in hopes of saving my sex life and problems with ED. Then I started doing more research on NoFap.

    I am currently on day 6 of NoFap and have been sticking to the rules. However I feel like I could hump a wall and get off. I don’t know if it’s a shot in testosterone or what. Sometimes I’m erect for 30-40 minutes a time and I don’t even think about porn, I just have the urge that I NEED to orgasm. Oddly, the feeling is actually satisfying because I haven’t felt this way in a very long time but I am trying to reach at least the 30 day mark and then 60 then 90.

    I am coming to this community in hopes I can get support and success stories(and failures) and tips on overcoming!

    Good luck mate, I hope you a successful journey. I just started nofap today and I will try to make the 30 days streak at first.
     
  3. Hey @Brandon plaza ,

    Welcome to NoFap! You are in the right place.

    I'm just a regular member on here, so take what I say as my experience. I found that I needed to:

    1. Learn the NoFap program.

    2. Get involved with the community.

    The best resource I found was the “Getting Started with NoFap” guide. It is on the NoFap homepage and you can download it for free from this link https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/

    Then, watch this video:



    It is really good and explains so much about how the blasting of porn images into the brain in high definition on high speed internet while slamming porn sounds into the ears with headphones can literally change the way your brain demands sexual stimulation.

    The video explains it better than I can.

    Also, a great page is https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ my experience is that by reading every link and watching every video, I learned so much.

    Then, I got involved with the community. I'm not anyone special on here, I don't have any magic powers. But, I can say hello to new members, post my journal entries, remember to “like” peoples posts, and offer my experience, strength and hope where appropriate.

    Looking forward to seeing you around on the forums,

    --> 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.

    I've included journals from all age groups, spiritual members, religious members, secular members, male and female. You should find journals that help. If not, look around, there are hundreds of others from which to choose. When I say "it works if you work it", reading journals is part of that work.

    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.

    This is a work in progress. So, if a journal has changed or is no longer active, look around there are some amazing journals on here.
