Hello world

Hi all,

I'm new to this non-fap world but have done research on all the benefits of no porn/fap and am sold on it. My first attempt started on 12/28/14 and I was successful for about 3 weeks, then fell off the bandwagon. I am going again now and on day 8. Most recent porn/fap session was 2/22/15. I want to continue the streak and go strong all of March.

My primary reason is not so much the masturbation, but the porn. I've come to realize looking at a good amount of it regularly over the past 10+ years has recently started to affect my actual sex life. I am recently divorced and put myself back in the dating world about a year ago. Started having sex with a few girls here and there, and after a few minutes of going at it, I started to "lose it". Had no clue why, and it really bothered me. I am young, good looking, in excellent physical health, and had a beautiful naked girl laying in front of me. But couldn't keep it up. WTF? After googling I finally came across the concept of porn-induced ED and am pretty confident this is what's been affecting me. I conditioned myself to only get off to certain types of porn, then real-life sex became lackluster as a result...it wasn't enough. It was disheartening, but a relief at the same time as now I can start to reverse the process.

So my primary goal is absolutely no porn. Period. But out of sheer curiosity, I want to continue my week-old streak of no fapping through the month of March and see how I feel. After one week I definitely have built-up sexual tension but I'm focusing it on other things. And I do have a (newish) gf that I am having sex with maybe once a week.

Looking forward to these next few weeks of mental "cleansing"...here we go!

Stay strong brothers! Hey, I see in others' profiles a status bar showing how long they've gone fap-free and how close they are to hitting goals. How do we get that?
