    Hello folks,

    23 year old M here. Started P at 14, M at 16. Pretty much hooked to it then. Did my first streak from 20th May to 19th June (29 days) in lockdown. From then, it was pretty much downhill.
    Started again. Plan to hit one day at a time, and no set target (Will think of continuing it as long as I can)

    Most of the success stories I have read here and on other sites go like first two weeks will suck, and then after 30-90 days, girls will line up to ride your dick.

    Can anyone please give an honest review of what changes they felt, in all aspects? Also, what else you did apart from nofap to get there?

  2. It's worth it .
    Forget about that language .

    The journey is about you .
    Workout . Meditation . Rest . Healthy eating and sleeping ( progression , not perfection, spoil time to time ) Socialising on the real side of life . Investing in your future and what is in the future , it is in the present .

    Taking care of yourself, goes long way .

    Thanks man!!
    I request if others can share such honest experience too....Most of the superpower stuff is a bit hard to believe to be honest

    How long was your streak when you noticed that the changes were drastic?
     
  5. I've been on the journey for about 2 years now . I regularly slip at around day 30 , but I build a new 30 . Go for 45 . For 60 sometimes . And I don't binge .

    Those are my statics , never went 90 days still, but I always bounce back !

  6. It can be little pushed here and there but ..

    Good things are happening and I have been failing way too many times by the questions you are asking yourself just right now !

    It ain't magic, but it is worth it !

  7. I agree with @Leader of ME. NoFap can act like an anchor to keep you focused on other changes in your life. For me it was working out, losing weight, and addressing nice guy patterns that were holding me back. I also worked on improving my relationship with my wife by understanding sex, attraction, and myself better. Basically treating myself with respect.

    Many of us have gone through life having multiple Os every week for years. When we discover how our energy and demeanor change when we recharge more fully, it feels like a superpower. Maybe it’s just our normal innate abilities, which we have not given ourselves the chance to experience before.

    I get it to 80 days, douring lockdown. More energy, more happy, more driven to get things done, more emotional/alive, more horny, more interested to engage in dating to have sex.
    Yes, they do.
    No they don't. If you are the same guy and do the same things that you were before NoFap your luck with ladies are going to be the same.
    But.. if you get in shape (diet and gym), start to go after your goal, start to gain money, start to be really happy about your new life that will make you be more confident about yourself. You are going to start noticing the girls that before were ugly but liked you, now they are not that ugly and you start to want to connect with them. They are going to see that you changed for the better (in shape, confident, with goals) and are going to be more attracted to you than before... and yes in that case they are going to start wanting your dick, but to get to that point you really need to work on yourself.

  11. I've made it to 90. It was well worth it for me. Many psychological and physiological benefits for me personally.

    I've gotten as far as 300+ days before and last year/early last year I went just over 100 days. I have also had a decent amount of 1/2 month streaks scattered in there too. My personal experience is that the first two weeks or so is when the urges hit really hard, your brain is pretty much screaming at you to go back to old habits and its honestly extremely difficult to get past this stage. If you can however, things do get a lot easier. As you move into the second month and beyond you will start to go longer between strong urges and generally find it easier to resist urges. After a while you will get to a point where relapsing feels alien to you and you actively wont want to do it, but occasional spikes of very strong urges during this time ensure you need to stay vigilant (relapsing during this point is the worst because you know in your rational mind that you dont want to but you do it anyway, it sucks).

    As for benefits, I have to be real, a lot of "benefits" are either exaggerated to the point of comedy or are outright made up. This isnt to say that NoFap doesnt work, because I STRONGLY believe that it does, but the benefits are more subdued and the more addicted to PMO you are, the more noticeable these benefits will be. Personally, I find that abstaining from PMO for even a few days causes a reduction in brain fog, general anxiety, and general lethargy. I feel more motivated to do things and generally feel better about myself. Another obvious bonus is that you can spend the time you spent masturbating doing something else that is more productive (or at the very least not harmful.) I have not experienced any changes in my interactions with women but thats a whole different issue as I have never really been relationship orientated, so I dont feel all too qualified to talk about that aspect.

    Anything that is generally healthy is worth doing when doing NoFap. Eating healthy, getting enough regular exercise, taking up creative hobbies, generally taking care of yourself and working on self improvement. These are the kinds of things everyone suggests but that is the case for a reason, that reason being they do help.

  13. That strategy is how I got these many days.

    Seems like I have a lot more time in the day.

    I didn't care about that when I was your age,

    but as you get older, time gets more scarce and therefore more valuable.

    The reason is because the demands on your life skyrocket.

    But the pressures and challenges every day somehow get under control in a streak.

    I used to spend a ton of time to record a song, now I can get it done in a day.

    It seems like women have more interest when I'm on a streak,

    which was exciting at first, but now I've realized that probably it's in my head.

    That is the main "superpower" they talk about here.

    But I believe that women probably noticed me all along.

    It was I who did not have the awareness and self-esteem to look at them.

    Alright, they're looking, and I'm looking.

    So what?

    If it ends up in the bed, it's a serious liability.

    Guys your age usually don't understand that.

    At your age, women are a bag of magic and awe all the time.

    After 30 or so, things change.

    That's why a lot of dudes don't marry or don't remarry in middle age.

    It's way, way more serious and the benefits are dubious.

    A 5 minute orgasm.

    Really? Ok, here's half my salary, which is half of my waking life.

    Sounds like a fair trade to me...

    Oh wait. My bad, you want love?

    You can have love, just bring home the bacon.

    Otherwise, no love, married, single or in between.

    That is the brutal reality.

    There is no free lunch. Ditto for love.

    I tell you this because you are a NoFap brother.

    And it's just an opinion, which is always tainted.
     
  14. The “superpowers” are your normal self without porn. Amazing what we can accomplish with a clear mind and soul.

    I think pretty much almost everyone gets the NoFap journey pretty wrong, each person has a different experience with PMO, some people get more affected and take more time to get rid of it, for example i started watching p when i was not even a teenager and *m* when at early puberty, I'm almost completing 3 years of NoFap, and i remember i was very excited to hit the 90 days because i thought it was the mark and there would be no more efforts.

    But in my case i needed still a bit more time to get rid of the massive urges etc, now it can take either less or more time, but let me tell you the first 3/4 months are the hardest and are the ones you really have to ''punch your urges against the wall'' because after that you start loosing the big urges and you can manage things pretty easily.

    Now remember its a progress, if you watched porn for 2 days, obviously its probably not gonna have such impact in your brain. But after years like happened with me and probably you as well gonna also take some time for that shade to slip a bit.

    If you ever need anything and you would like someone to share your progress i'm here brother!

    Stay strong !
