I am currently on Day 35 hard mode. I want to start off by saying that I was NOT addicted to PMO. I would probably watch porn at most twice a week but the shitty feeling that I used to have after watching it was unbearable. I am mainly doing this to kill my social anxiety. I have always had low self esteem issues and my social anxiety was so bad that I didn't want to even step out of my house. Especially around girls it has been real bad over the last few years. Some of the minor benefits (not superpowers) I have experienced in these 35 Days : * Quick reaction times. I've always found it difficult to respond quickly to someone when they say something out of the blue. I would think up the perfect answer only after a few days and then think to myself "I should have said that". After 35 days on NoFap, I feel my reaction times are getting quicker and I can think quicker. * Better sleep. Had been suffering from horrible insomnia, but that seems to have gone while on NoFap. I sleep better without the need to take any melatonin supplements and I wake up feeling refreshed and energized. * General attraction towards "normal" women : I don't know about the other way round, but I can say that I am more attracted to "normal" women now. Even though I used to watch porn only twice a week, I had minimal feelings for normal girls/women and would always fap by imagining a certain level of nudity. After these 35 days on hard mode, when I think of all those fake porn actresses I don't feel a thing. On the other hand, if I see a cute normal girl walking on the street, I feel pure happiness in my mind and can hold eye contact with her and smile. I haven't yet recovered to the point where I will go up and talk to her, but someday I will get there I am sure ! I have no goals about how many days I want to do NoFap, but seeing the initial benefits, I want to continue as long as I can and make this my lifestyle !! Good luck to you all in your journey ! TL;DR : Benefits I experienced : quick reaction time, better sleep, more attraction towards normal women.
I'm on the same boat as you bro. Social anxiety was my main reason why I joined this community and just by reading all the benefits you've experienced in 35 days made me believe that there is hope for me as well. Thank you for this

Really cool to see so many guy's trying hard to become better versions of themselves. and get rid of something that destroys so many men. i include myself in this fight. there's hope, not only to overcome this addiction. but to better society and lead to a betterment of the world.
