    Hey everybody, i'm new to this site, but feel like it could offer viable support for my journey. I have been fapping for 10 years now, and have been trying to stop the last 3 of those years. I am currently on day 12 of my journey, and it is now that I begin to feel powerful urges within myself, driving me to masturbate. I feel like I can make it, but I was wondering if you guys have any advice, to stay motivated. Because I have not really seen any difference in my life after these past 11 days so far, in that i just don't see any benefits in nofap. It seems obsolete and simply unecessary. I am only doing nofap because I have been told that conserving sexual energy can turn you into a more powerful person, and that releasing sperm to often can produce social anxiety (which I actually have experienced) and release too many nutrients. Do you guys buy these arguments? thanks

    You can do it Dman. Hang in there and stay strong. I don't know about your arguments. But I know the best way to stay motivated is to stay connected with like minded people. And this forum is the best.
     
  3. It will be harder if you do not have strong enough reasons. My motivation was my reasons. And those reasons was that too much masturbation to porn, and also just too much masturbation in general, was ruining my life. Anxiety, guilt, regret, loss of motivation, procrastination, no will power or desire to train it, low physical energy levels, sleep problems, huge back acne, inability to stop MO even when it was kinda painful due to too much of it, etc. It was bringing me into depression in every sense of the word. If I would have went down that path I would have developed ED as well for sure.

    So there was motivation to stop. A big one! Your reasons however don't seem like strong ones. Heard something? From somebody? Rumors? You need to do more research on those subjects. I do believe in sexual energy/Kundalini/Chi/life energy, whatever you call it. I'm into magical stuff like that. But I actually can feel it. More physical energy, more mental energy, motivation and so on. Colors seems more brighter - brain for is gone. My mental focus is better. I need less sleep to feel rested. I see benefits of more energy. 12 days is not that much tho, give it more time. Like maybe month or two. If anything you will waste ONLY two months of your life, it's like two cents from 100 bucks. Not a big deal.

    Also, if you are still having sex every day that will dray sexual energy too. So you might not actually notice any benefits. In that case maybe try some non-orgasmic sex techniques. Explore tantra, karezza methods, etc. Or maybe methods to develop non-ejaculatory orgasms. But too much excessive amounts of sex also discharges your energy and really can have very much the same effect as too much M.

    Perhaps reading others' stories who started out masturbating and then porn use which led to a serious downward spiral may help you get a better perspective. Sometimes the benefits are not always immediate. I have masturbated for 30 years! What a waste! I so wish this forum was available when I was a teenager!

    Mate, so you think 11 days is going to undo 10 years of fapping????

    As the other posts suggested, you need to really evaluate what is it you want to achieve with NoFap and also do some more reading in the forums to understand what other people are going through and also see the success stories....

    Ah, the voice of the P dragon. He speaks nothing but doubt. Why be free? Can you really do this? etc. He told me for decades that porn was my best friend and the only one who truly understands what I need? He is a fucking liar! He will steal your time, your relationships, your money, and your self respect. Why live as a slave when you are destined to be free?

    Dman, watch this bro:


    And then, you watch this:


    I consider, we deserve more than uncovered flesh on a screen with a hand in pants.
