Disappointed With NoFap

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Feb 17, 2019.

  1. Well, I did NoFap for about 100 days and things didn't exactly go well. I had mood swings and episodes of depression. Maybe it's because I'm 40 and single or something else. Didn't see women attraction and my energy levels didn't peak at all. I mean I'm not going to lie about the discipline and willpower, that was definitely a benefit. But besides that, I mean nothing else. Still the same guy with a decent paying job. I have been single for a while but I believe it's because of porn. I believe that porn makes you desperate and needy around women, which could explain why some guys get women attraction when they quit porn. Whatever the case may be, I'm glad that this NoFap brought me awareness to my porn habit. The withdrawals were very hard to handle. I'm definitely quitting porn forever. I have skepticism behind fapping, however. Change My Mind, if you want.
     
  2. I call bullshit on that. Compare your erections to when you're fapping to when you're on NoFap. I can confidently tell you that there's a difference. My erections were much fuller and harder when I was on NoFap. NoFap is not a comprehensive guide to getting women, bro. It's a sexual health improvement guide.
     
  3. I think you need to push yourself some more. Have you gotten out of your comfort zone? You said, " still the same guy with a decent paying job."

    The problem is in your life. Make a change.
    People often seem to think NoFap means just not watching P and/or MOing. But that's not going to help solve your problems completely. You need to make changes and find the root of the problem. There's a reason you resorted to P and got addicted to it. Most men nowadays watch porn and a lot of them have no problem getting attention from women and are successful in life.
    There's an underlying problem you need to pinpoint and then make changes to solve. Professional therapy could help you with finding out what pushed you into this addiction and perhaps even help you solve your problems.

  5. Congrats on quitting porn, man. Good job! But really, however, don't make NoFap about women. There are guys who PMO and do well with women. You really need to practice on your social skills. I mean, just plan on going to a social event once a week. Like a Saturday Night. Take baby steps. If you fail, then it's not the end of the world. The important thing is knowing that you put in the effort.

    No rewards, if no effort. Life is what you do with it. Don't expect a woman, a work and a million dollars just because you have quitted porn. Build your inner peace, your serenity, build a set of good habits and (maybe) you'll see changes.
    Keep strong.

  7. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think you are probably right. I just fapped and had my first erection like seven hours later. It was hard but it wasn't firm. My erections during my 100-day NoFap streak were really hard. They were throbbing. Like, my mind is literally blown. For 20+ years, I never thought fapping would lead to softer erections. Well, for a lack of a better word, you just saved my penis.

  8. Yeah, gee thanks. I'm just glad I saved your life. It's sorta funny how negative and pessimistic you were in the beginning. But dude. Trust the process. Pain is temporary, Pride is forever.
     
  9. Appreciate the encouragement. I'll look up the meetup groups when I'm not bothered by life, haha.

    Although you start off saying your disappointed with NoFap, if you look at what you wrote, I'd say that NoFap has helped you a lot. Just read between your lines and you'll see that you're actually very grateful for NoFap. But it all really comes down to you and your choices. Nothing outside of you will make the changes in your life. You have the choice and NoFap gives you the tools and the community to help you make that choice.

    You are not taking full of the advantages of its benefits, you seem to just be quitting saying it's too hard and you don't see anything wrong with it. You'll stay single and grow old and gray and be single still wacking your brains out. If that's what you want that's on you as long as you are not hurting anyone but yourself. Good luck on the wanking, I mean your life.

    A lot of guys get into porn at a young age just because it's the norm. I have a much more obsessive personality than most people which is both positive and negative , but I genuinely just enjoyed porn. I had lots of chances with women when I was younger but by then I was already bashing it daily or worrying what my mates were thinking because they weren't a 10/10.
    At the end of the day quitting PMO is always a positive, especially for sexual health (which will have profound mental effects), so even simply quitting PMO will lead to a better quality of life. Im lucky to have realised porn was the issue now as im only 21. I'm quitting because while my life is great, I'd like to give my girlfriend the bone, if you catch my drift.

    Does your girlfriend know that you PMO. Hopefully you are a man and were up front with her. She probably realizes something is not right if you did not tell her. I am glad you realized this at such a young age but a lot of people realize it at such a young age and don't stop for one reason or another. I didn't mean to offend you or anyone else, I was just stating how I felt. You don't know me and I don't know you but hope you can fix yourself. I am glad you fly off the handle like you do as you have not much luck in a lot of issues I bet, including anger issues.

    Does your girlfriend know you are a fapper, and she probably knows already if you didn't tell her. 21 and know the world, typical. Good luck to you.

    Thank you. I see quite a few people on here thinking Nofap is a Life-changing wonder pill.
    Its not. It has a specific purpose for a specific problem, just like you mentioned.
    Well done.

    But does she know of your situation? My girlfriend does and it will help you a lot if you tell her. If not, she will find out and probably move on. If you truly care for her you will tell her.

    Yea she does. It's basically the root of all our problems. She's been supportive which is good and to be honest I think I might have finally got out of this hellhole. I have no desire to go back. She sees I have drive and motivation in every aspect of my life so I think she believes that I can overcome this.
