    It absolutely helps with social anxiety! You gain more confidence by quitting pmo which naturally makes social interactions easier and more enjoyable. That was the main reason why I had social anxiety, because I constantly pmo'd for years. I'm naturally shy (and always blamed it on that), so combining it with pmo was like a death sentence for me hahaha.

    The craziest thing for me is probably the increased confidence and attraction towards girls. For years I always wanted a gf or to even be able to flirt with girls but struggled mightly and found myself not even attracted to a lot of them to begin with, because I was addicted to the pixelated version instead. I never realized this connection until finally quitting that garbage and man it feels like I'm 13 again!

    For clarity, I started nofap in July 2015 after discovering yourbrainonporn and that famous ted talk everyone knows and loves. I've had many many relapses and small streaks, and some large ones as well, my best was over 100 days of no porn, but I still MO'd to thoughts occassionally. I'm currently 10 days of no porn on top of the 4 days of no MO, and am feeling great about where I am at right now. I know I've had many relapses but I feel like all my streaks have added up and I haven't lost what I gained by going on them since I never full blown went back to my old daily PMO habit.

    Confidence has shot up,that's a plus for me and I laugh a lot. Making small talks with everyone around is easier than eve,I don't even sweat or over think while I'm engaged in a conversation. Still have a long way to go but I'm loving the journey each and everyday. The ladies seem to notice me more than ever,the gains are lovely and it makes me feel alive.

    Hi guys I went 50 days clean. Was feeling anxious and stressed one late night/early morning, made the mistake of pulling out my phone and went on FB to an acquaintance page and I relapsed. Yet I am now 5 days clean hopefully will continue to 50 more. The best things so far from this, first time being clean that long in 16 years was increased energy, less back pain, more awareness of time and enjoying small things in life. I play for two local league rec sports teams (soccer) and one of them is in the final to be played next week while the other is close to making playoffs. I have increased confidence which was not too much of a problem before as I learned to mask my insecurities well in order to keep my addiction but now my confidence its just more natural, I speak up more and my voice sounds deeper, at least I think it does. I have been out to the club a few times and both times people have started talking to me, yes some were females, before I even attempted to initiate any communication. I feel like I am losing weight and gaining muscle my posture is better and my vision isn't as blurry. Guys this is hard I was "fortunate" that I had a life changing encounter with a girl who I really cared for and saw what addictions, more lethal than ours, due to the human mind, soul and body that's what kept me clean 50 days because for 17 years I had not been clean more than 30 days. Don't let it get to that point because it is painful to have to learn that way. Addictions are similar although some are lethal and some take time to become lethal. That event and NoFap have helped me tremendously.

    I was walking with my latte outta tim hortons. I saw my shoes were untied. "I asked can you hold this for a second?". I gave my coffee, tied my shoes, took it back and kept walking like a gangsta confident.
