    I have read some skeptics threads about the benefits when quitting porn and masturbation. What really is real and what is not?

    When I had a month streak I felt a really boost in confidence, and very little anxiety in social situations. I felt connection with girls that I can't really explain, not in any sexual way but it was they noticed me and I noticed them. Is all that just something in the head? What have you experienced?

    I just need to say one thing: My reason for doing this is not because I want to meet girls or something like that. I hate porn/ masturbation and I feel that it drags me down and make my mind very foggy,and full of anxiety of social situations.

    - Social anxiety lessens
    - Sleep habits are improved
    - Confidence boost
    - Improved memory

    I would say after 10-14 days you start to see some real difference already and it gives you a hint where this CAN bring you.

    The recommended is 90 days but it depends on the person.
    It can take anywhere from 1 month to a year depending on how addicted you were.
    For example, someone who used to abuse porn for 10 years probably need about 9 months or so.
    Mild abuse (1 year) can probably see the full effects after a month or so.
    These are just estimations.
    It all depends on the person and his body, just don't worry too much about it and you'll eventually notice some dramatic changes.

    Like I said, just estimation. I could be 100% wrong though.
    But you'll see big changes during the first month and that's for sure.
    Here's how to make a tracker/counter

    I Have Reached One Month Streak Twice This Year So I Think I Can State Some Of The Benefits I Noticed-

    1. Increased Stamina ( I Could Run Like 40% More Of My usual Running Schedule,although my stamina has improved greatly after engaging in nofap)

    2.Less Anxiety-This Applies To Talking To Girls,Engaging Conversations or even speaking in huge crowds like debates etc.

    3.Better Mental Focus Could Study For Like 3-4 Hours Without Getting Tired Or Getting Distracted.

    4.Better Hair (Thicker,Softer And Looked Better And Shinier)

    5.Could Make Up Sentences Easily,Can't Explain this One :/

    6.Less Acne,Clear Skin-Eyes Appear Much More better With less loosened skin.

    7.More Interest In Life-Motivated To Chase My Dreams-Failure Didn't Disappointed me.

    8.Most Importantly Had A Feeling Of Self-Esteem Which Seemed To Be Lost Before Nofap.

    9.My Temper Was At it's best angry only when things got out of hand completely otherwise always a polite calm guy.

    I Hope These Will give you some inspiration,i am myself struggling to make it above 32 days from past 10 trials.Wish Me Luck! And All The Best!

    Hey man!

    I'm also skeptical about all the benefits people describe. I had a few streaks of 30d+. I felt some improvements but they never last.. Last week, I relapsed after a 37d streak because I felt emotionnally messed-up, needy and tired.. and I was more relax after relapsing.. Then I experienced the lack of sexual energy which is not so pleasant but on day 2 my sexual energy was back. (probably if you mo just from time to time, it doesn't affect your level of sexual energy so badly and it would come back quickly)

    My point is not to say that there are no differences between someone who pmo everyday and someone who don't.. P is clearly a bad thing.. It corrupts your mind.
    But abstaining from ejculate for more than a month always lead me to bad emotional states..
    Then, I probably should accept to feel emotionnaly messed-up for a while and see if it's getting better. I tried to do that but I guess not long enough...

    But if you can do longer streaks without experiencing bad effects like I do, just do it ;)

    P.S. There might be a lot of language mistakes in this message. Not because I'm retarded but because I'm french..

    Straight-up telling ya, you only get benefits from NoFap if you actually work through the hard times. Nothing else, discomfort makes you stronger. That's where you will see real benefits and progress from NoFap, mate.
