    Ok, so, I've been doing Nofap for the past 12 days (Date started: 01/01/2020)
    and now I have some questions for you guys..

    First of all, what is the point of Nofap?
    What are the motives that makes so many people here to stay away from porn and masturbation at any cost?
    and how can you spot whether porn and masturbation have a negative effect over you or not?

    I really want to hear your voices and your opinions about this topic.
    Please avoid posting here links to external sites.

    From my perspective porn caused me to miss out on many opportunities, lost interest in many women once I started relapsing. Anxiety, shame & guilt, I'm in university, the previous summer semester was my best mainly I believe was due to staying away from PMO, it was almost like when I pmo'd I lost interest in the little things in life. But once I stopped it all changed. I'm currently on day 2 so I feel like shit but I would say just stick with it at least 90 see if you feel any difference, it wouldnt hurt.

    For me the point is to be productive within my day, I’ve notice I ejaculate and don’t want to do anything all day takes away my energy to do my homework and to the level I was at I would watch a lot of porn videos and have a list of the ones I found were best, which means bad grades. Plus it just makes me feel better about myself in my days because even if its at night I ejaculate I feel nasty. That’s for me though.

    To go from being a spectator to a doer

    edit: there’s probably other guys who can be both but I can’t.

    Thanks but no.
    I don't find in this type of websites anything more than brainwashing machines,
    and that's why I came here at the first place, to hear the people.
    I don't care about the scientific side of PMO.

    Jeez, that's exactly what I went through when I used to watch porn..
    By giving preference to porn and masturbation instead of working on myself and achieving my goals

    None for you, if you have to ask the question. What is the point of abstinence for a drug user, alcoholic, compulsive gambler, compulsive shopper?

    If you are coming in with that attitude then you are simply in the wrong place and we cannot help you.

    I am sad to see that you are so closed off to the overwhelming scientific evidence that is out there.

    Best of luck;):)
     
  13. Because porn and masturbarion gave me horrible brain fog, social anxiety, loss of motivation/anhedonia, insomnia, low confidence, depression, PIED, pain when peeing. Just to name a few. Also horrible withdrawal symptoms and urges when I try to quit the habit.

    That's exactly the kind of response I'd expect to get from a brainwashed kid.
    First of all, I didn't ask for your help my dear friend.
    Second of all, I think that I was clear when I said not to post links to external sites.
    And last but not least..
    read this part again-
