study

Hey guys, I didn’t know where to put this so I’m here. There used to be a group or something for adhd and PMO addictions but I couldn’t find it. (If any moderators see this I think it could be a really good idea to add something like that somewhere) But anyway, I just had a read of this...

From the study I read it stated that testosterone levels were higher in the summer, but it never mentioned anything about sun exposure. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5057046/table/T0001/?report=objectonly

A study published on 2016 compared how many men had erection problems in the 90's and in the recent years. The scientific article also separated those males by age, so people can see how and why younger men are having more and more problems on having sex. Below you can see some highlights of the...

First time here, i recognize my addiction, and recently it's been very active in my head and harder to even stop for one day. It's worse and i hope that i can reduce it during the summer stop (i'm a college student). The amount of free time i have makes me want to PMO out of boredom, and theres...

Just a simple question if there's anyone who's experienced with the stock market/real estate/investing/or any other way to build some steady passive income in the future... Currently, I'm studying the basics such as supply and demand and candlestick patterns. I'm open to ALL ideas.

I just read a 1966 paper by S. Rachman called "Sexual Fetishism: An Experimental Analogue", and thought I would share a brief summary for those who are interested. The experiment was to see if men without a shoe fetish could be conditioned to become aroused by shoes. The criteria for...

Porn addiction is driven by dopamine, just like all addictions. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter in your brain that tells you "this feels good, let's do it again" when encountering natural rewards, such as food, sex, money, and material possessions. Modern internet porn, with its endless...

think! what do you do when you're competing? you fail and and you retry you fail again the cycle continues until you give up. Why Do People Give Up? -> lack Of Motivation -> because they fear what other people will think if they fail. Now, I won't promise this thread will be life changing or...

Counter: 338 days no PMO, semen retention. I started to study more seriously today, I felt a focus I haven't felt in 12 years prior to entering medical school. It seems nothing can distract me, and studying feels good once again, I have to say really exploring sex and mastering nofap plays a...

Anyone familiar with the 'Pomodoro Technique'? It's a productivity/time management method where you break your time down into intervals of 25 minutes (i.e. 'pomodoro's'), separated by breaks of 5 minutes. During the interval of 25 minutes, you focus on one task or kind of work. This is the...

Hi guys I've been feeling kind of tired for some days. Always right after a lecture I have to go to sleep, I actually do nap for a time so I'm definitely being sleepy here. I also lost some of my motivation when it comes down to some subjects, especially as its gotten harder and harder which...

After abstaining from watching porn or even masturbating, I noticed a few physical and psychological effects. I'd appreciate if you listed what you noticed and we could peer review this. Physical: 1. I got 2 wet dreams in a 3 weeks period. 2. I don't get hard as often as I did before. 3. I am...

I have currently been PMO free for 3 days and it feels like there is some sort of change in my energy level but I haven't experienced any benefit on concentration and mind rather I have a restless mind which is little discomforting to study. Has someone experienced any benefits of Nofap while...

Hi. I am one those people interested in math. I am highschool student but I really really enjoy math on a difficult level. Anyone sharing this passion too on this site???

Hey Guys, At the moment i'm trying to process Gary Wilson's Book "Your Brain on Porn". On page 23 he mentions the following: A 2012 study found that when participants tried to abstain from porn use for three weeks, they reported higher levels of relationship commitment. The study, to which he...

@IAmLegion I had this stored for quite sometime and only now it sparked interest in hearing some input from you. On reward system, survival habits, neurochemistry and physiological waste. I have not a specific question to ask. What I find most intriguing is the thought of replicating the...

I am shifting to a hostel first ever in my life in order to: 1) Recover from PMO Addiction of over 13 years by changing environment and starting afresh. 2) Focusing on my Professional Qualification by proper studying along-with work (which I wasn't able to do before due to multiple addictions...

I only watched heterosexual and lesbian porn I watched porn for several hours during my days off until recently I escalated to transsexual porn and this has an explanation dopamine. Porn causes large amounts of dopamine just like drugs for...

I have been reading and writing poetry of late and thought the 18th century poem, "Silent, Silent Night" by William Blake, spoke to this community's recovery process. "Silent, Silent Night" by William Blake Silent Silent Night Quench the holy light Of thy torches bright For possess’d of Day...

Hey, I spent the last few months reading countless studies that prove or find no proof behind NoFap benefits I decided to write an article about what I found, I hope this helps some of you; my goal is so everyone has enough information to decide wether abstinence is good for them or not also...

That video is reality powerful, try to apply what this guy is saying and tust me, it work : . If you are in a rush, basically what he is saying is that whenever you feel the urge to fap get curious about how you feel, and if you ever relapse, just do it but when you masturbate do it while you...

So I have decided to begin a new NF streak today. Something about myself: I am a student from Germany and I am going to do my A levels next year in May '20. Generally I am quite good at school but it doesn't really bother me as I believe grades do not tell much about abilities. The next 12...

It's my final exam two days later and I have relapsed twice now. I have been seriously fighting/struggling with these addictions for the whole of my 37 days of exam leaves. I haven't studied. And I am sure to flunk again due to this evil. I've learned this time that I am pretty sure this...

I finally found some reliable science study how long does it take to regrowth your grey matter volume to base line or above after being addicted for long time. It takes 35.6 weeks of abstinence on average (range 26.4–44.9, sd 6.2). With 26.4 weeks in the best case scenario on 44.9 weeks in the...

Hello Fapstronauts! New and old! I’m 20 years old. I believe this is the best thread to share this amazing TED talk I saw that really pushed me to end my porn addiction. It’s a 2012 video but I can only imagine the stats are even more exaggerated today in 2019.

Hello there... I’m posting this thread to ask if anybody has pre-/post-reboot experiences with changes concerning academic performance, whether it’s increased motivation, focus, better grades, general increase in interest... etc I’d appreciate your input, especially that I’m going through this...

Hello everyone! I am a 23 years old guy from Italy and i study at university for a master degree. There's not so much to say about me...and it's neither so beautiful. I used to live substantially with a very low self esteem since i was very young. Specifically, i suffered for a severe education...

I recently read an article by Robert Weiss , where he classified porn addicts into two categories : (1) Traditional Sex Addicts with a Porn Problem & (2) Digital-Age/Conditioned Porn Addicts First category is trauma based , same as we see in people struggling with alcohol addiction/ drug...

I want to study again. I dropped out years ago (looking back, I was pmo'ing a lot back then. Hmmm) and have kind of missed it ever since. Meeting with a bunch of people every week and discussing interesting things. Getting homework and studying stuff I've never heard about. It's a great way to...

Hi guys, I relapsed (not to porn though) today on day 41 (hard mode) of my first streak. Before nofap I was very good at focusing on studying. Now that I am studying software engineering and I have really difficult exams next week, altough within these 41 days I have gained lots of benefits...

Hello. This is gonna be a long post, I apologize but I think it's necessary. I'm in a point in my life where I need once and for all to decide what I want in my life. I've always been really insecure. In short, I spent my whole life depressed and suffering. Since I was 14 years old I spent my...

Habits. The key to success and also the reason to not achieving it. In order to become the person we want to be, we HAVE TO develop the habits that will enable us to gradually start creating and becoming that Ideal/Perfect Self. Let's be frank, every one of us has at least some habit that...

Yesterday I started university (I'm on the 1st year) after a long recess of one month. The tests are coming along like a thousand arrows upon myself (I didn't touch any book in the recess), but I'm quiet... I don't know If I'm gonna left a subject to the end of this year, but I don't care, I'm...

So like the title says, I was wondering if a nocturnal emission/wet dream is really a sign of recovery or if it's just caused by an excess buildup of semen/sperm? I had an epic wet dream on the evening of Day 15 so that's what prompted me to think of this. Some medical articles I read online...

Hey guys I'm doing pretty good on no pmo But i have decreased my studying cuz it's easier to get distracted while playing a videogame or exercising So i'm experiencing a non balanced schedule and i'm afraid that this would lead to a relapse Cuz i feel like i've done nothing special and all I've...

Hello! My name is Danique and I am 19 years old. I am a student of Utrecht University in The Netherlands. For my study, I need to do a research into online networks. Me and my group chose this network, because we are very intrigued by it and think it is amazing that Nofap exists. I think it is...

Okay, So this is my second thread on Nofap because I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. So forgive me if this already exists but I need to get it out. One of the mains reasons I choose Nofap is because nowadays, I can't feel anything! No emotions , No regrets, Reduced care for my...

First, i'll tell you guys about myself. im currently 16y/o but i actually have been struggling with this nofap thing for about 2 years of relapse and trying to nofap again. At first when i accidently found out about mastrubating (around 11y.o) i think it's just a weird thing to do and not think...

I spent my whole highschool with porn addiction and I didn't know I had It, so I tried to study but I didn't learn anything. After 60 days of streak, I was studying so fast, concentration super High. And now I relapsed and man, this is scary, cause I cant focus one page of my book. I imagine how...
