    I began wanking (I'm sorry, I really don't like the word fap) at the age of 13. I've never actually watched any porn (movies, pictures, read playboy, etc) but I've had a pretty hardcore habit for a long time (average one a day, sometimes two, I think up to six), usually to stories or just my own fantasy images.. I think the longest I've gone was about two weeks - but I'd never heard of NF, I was just so busy with travelling and being around family all the time that it never occurred to me. Now that I've decided to quit, I can't seem to go more than a day, two if I'm lucky.

    I've never actually really dated (let alone had sex), there just hasn't been anyone I liked enough to want to pursue anything. Perhaps it's severe sexual exhaustion? The point is, it's not really for the sex life that I'm deciding I want to stop (can't miss what you've never had). It's to fix my brain and to help my testosterone get back up (in a nutshell, to reboot myself as much as I can).

    It might help if I had some friends that I see regularly. I don't know if it's related (I suspect so) to chronic wankage, but I've had pretty bad depression, anxiety, and general social inhibition for quite a while now. My energy really comes and goes (can be top of the world some days, down in the dumps the next and it doesn't seem related to whether I've touched myself)

    good to know your case. Let me share my case which started in similar fashion ....
    I too began in a similar way ... wild imaginations . First thing I used to do after waking up(but not leaving the bed) was to imagine, imagine imagine and finally end up wanking. Initially was very exciting but soon started to feel guilt and all such symptoms you mentioned above.
    but eventually I had internet access and that to in complete privacy. Since then I got addicted to world of porn.

    I had promised like 100 times to quit. But realized it was natural and accepted porn as way of life. But after watching some well researched TED talks I was completely taken aback. This is ruining my would be married life. I would honestly put that my perception about women has indeed changed gradually.

    This is my first day at nofap and I vow to myself to come here whenever I feel the need to wank/jerk off. Slowly I will reboot to myself. Let's hope.

    I mate it's so glad you making this decision it's going to change your life. I'm in a real good kik and telegram group which helps, if you want to join message me.
    Giving up chronic wankage will definitely help with depression and anxiety.
