    Hello Im a 15 year old male and have been doing NoFap for a little more than a month now.

    The reason I started doing nofap is becuase I want to "feel more". I have been feeling pretty empty in emotions and I rarely ever get excited to anything.

    Before starting NoFap I didn't exactly have a problem with PMO. How much I masturbated a week depended on how much energy I had. Sometimes I masturbated only once a week, other times once a second day and some weeks once everyday.

    The problem now is that I dont feel like I have recieved any of the reported benefits of nofap except for a slightly higher self esteem.

    Do I just need to keep going or is it other things I need to do?

    repost becuase I think this is a better place to post it
     
  2. I personally never felt many of the benefits, usually just a bit happier day to day knowing I'm not fapping my life away (I did it alot), but maybe you need some more time. What benefits was it you were looking for exactly?

    Wow , quitting Pornography at 15 is probably one of the better decisions you can make, so cudos to you.
    As for the benefits, I`m sure you have come across a great many testemonies for various benefits and the conclusion I draw from it , is that it varies greatly from person to person and the things people expierience are dependent on a lot more then just their porn habits or lack thereof. So dont wait for the benefits, if you feel better thats all you need to know.

    As for getting exited for things. There is a german expression, "Der Hunger kommt mit dem Essen" I dont know if its also known in english but it translates to " If you start eating, your hunger will come". This may sound like an empty phrase but I think there is truth to it. Start doing stuff, meet people, get out of your comfort zone ( whatever that may mean for you), and the enjoyement/excitement will follow. If it doenst try different things, there are so many great things to do in this world, you`ll find Things that excite you.

    Im going to a new school soon and have always been kinda introverted/antisocial. I wanted to get higher self esteem, energy and motivation to talk to other people.
