It's not really difficult...but not really beneficial either?

    I'm currently on my 11th day of this journey, first attempt.
    The good news is that I haven't really been struggling so far. It's not that I don't have to be vigilant all the time, thoughts of porn and especially masturbation are on my mind almost constantly. But whenever I feel like sitting down, watching some porn and fapping, I'm like "Oh right, can't do that" and that's it. Also, I've had an erection only once during those 11 days. So the stories of people not making it past 3 days don't seem to come true for me.
    On the other hand, neither are the stories of people feeling massive improvements after just a few days. I don't think my confidence has improved much, I still look down when I meet eyes with a stranger, I still prefer not to talk to people. My mood is pretty good but I've had days of good mood in the past too. I feel more productive but I think that has more to do with the "I want to change" mindset that also made me start noFap.

    I mean, I'm not complaining, I'd much rather have an easy time doing this with little benefits rather than super benefits but constant urges. This doesn't worry me but it's been on my mind for the past one or two days nonetheless and I thought I'd share it here to maybe hear what other people have to say.

    Trust me, bro. Keep changing yourself for the better, and you are definitely going to reap the benefits. Being in 121 days, the benefits that I am noticing are becoming less prevalent, because it is almost normal for me. But more benefits will come along the journey, even after 300 days. Just keep going.

    That means you are not an addict :), You are more productive because you are spending more time in productive work.

    Syrus, I was all too cool on my first attempt. Then on day 26 I started doubting the whole thing. I see you are online here quite often, this is good to reassure your goals. If you keep avoiding boners you might do it. And try not to lose faith when things get rough. I remember on the last days of my streak I log in only to curse people, I was frustrated and I wanted to fap, so I started making fool of nofap and fapstronauts.

    This was my mistake, I'm sure you'll be stronger!

    on my frist attempt one month ago i noticed that i sleep less and i feel the same as i did before when i slept more. i was not tired after 2 jobs. i still had energy to do things. my posture improoved a bit. but the most important thing is that my eyes were not tired after all day at work. i work 6h a day with PC so my eyes get tired a lot. but now when i do not masturbate i can see all day. my first try ended after 25 days. i had such a hard errection... i just had to do it. my insane hard errections happened after 4 or 5 days. it was harder than ever. i coould break brick with my dick. i did not PMO and now i am at day 4. i still don't have this errections but i don't care. i know they will come when the body will be ready. the only thing i am not sure about nofap is the legend of testosterone and woman attraction. i am so skeptical about this. i think this is just in peoples mind and not real at all
