Longest streak I ever did was 4 months. I completely lost.my fetish when I did it. But obviously it came back when I relapsd to vanilla porn and then escalated back to fetish. I was able to do it because being in a calorie deficit reduced my urges. Benefits were quite insane when I got back to uni....girls approaching me like flies to shit. Had a lot of energy. Wasnt a fix all solution tho cos I had many emotional issues to sort thru. This is what they dont tell u about nofap. Doing long streaks requires u to confront demons. It's really what you do on the streak that counts.
It took me many attempts in the past 3 years, but I literally just made my first 100 day streak. I still get strong urges, but It is very clear how even masturbation without orgasm affects me mentally and physically and I've started to get a distaste for it. Especially when I need to perform, being clean really helps a lot. I teach yoga and model, and having a clean mind and body feels amazing, I am very comfortable speaking in front of others and it is easy for me to let go of what people think, good or bad. Whereas before it would torment me. People seem to listen to what I say perfectly now without question, and I don't have to worry about people/girls loosing interest during conversation, regardless of what I say. It has definitely helped my confidence a lot. I feel much more in control. Without sex on my mind I am starting to feel like a kid again more and more. That inspiration and positivity you feel after watching a really great movie or listening to a great piece of music has started to happen spontaneously. I feel less rushed and less like I am missing out. Feelings of loneliness have grown less and less, being a part of communities has really really helped, I go to life drawing every week, a creative writing group, an acro yoga group and am making an effort to be more involved in online forums like this one. I no longer have an agenda, I'm not thinking about picking up, and I am glad to be on my own again when I leave, I am quicker to dismiss the allure of attractive girls (even if they are all giddy to see me) in favor of "people" that are actually "interesting" to me; what a concept. I'm not necessarily stoked all the time, but I'm definitely at peace. I feel less concerned about meeting status quo and more enthusiastic about what the future holds. PMO definitely narrowed my view of life.
Benefits of 100+ days: 1) PIED gone. 2) Being able to concentrate. 3) Ability to do what one intends to do rather than what the addiction intends to do.
Honestly I’m religious, so there’s benefits in that aspect of me now being a better version of myself. But in terms of physical benefits or performance benefits, I really don’t know or have anything that I notice or comes to mind. PMO is just a waste of time and not worth since you feel like crap after giving in to it. Since your mind eventually does think less about horny thoughts and such, I guess you could interpret that as a better ability to focus?? But it’s not like I wasn’t able to focus on anything when I did used to masturbate. I guess you do develop a sense of pride when u quit for a while which might help you have more confidence in yourself and your abilities?? It’s worth to quit in the end though, no matter what
too long to write here! 0% social anxiety , 0 % depression, full of energy and optimism. confidence. better language skills. better health. no acne. and tons of other stuff. I could go to the most sexy girl at a health store and ask her questions without hesitation or anxiety. what killed my streak? wet dreams and insomnia, that caused a bad relapse. and then I kept getting wet dreams... so I am on day 1 again.
Wet dreams does not mean relapse. Atleast you are not consciously reinforcing the old addiction pathways in the brain. Wet dreams can be fixed by changing the way you lie in bed during sleep and changing certain clothes that rubs on the area. Google it, there's so many solutions for that.
