    Here's my Day 1 report

    Day 1 was a success for my Not to do list--didn't read/watch P->MO, Fanfics or Star wars (for the most part--I still pondered about the similarities of Windu's Vapaad and Kisame's Samehada from Naruto).

    My do's. I wasn't successful yet because I have a tendency to be lazy, and I got a respiratory illness. Hopefully, I'll be successful in doing so in the next few hours. I'll probably do it in a few minutes

    Well I've just joined last week, and currently am 9 days in without PM, but I could use a goal. I'd like to make it at least 13 more days! This puts me at my birthday and it would be a great bday present to myself to be able to stay PM free until then at least. After that, I'll reevaluate and hope to make it till the New Years. But, one step at a time!

    Very good reasoning. Levelheaded. Awesome to have you. Can't wait for your report tomorrow on day 10, not a bad milestone in itself. You can do this!

    I am already on the 7 day challenge, getting close to day two done on that one. So far I have had no problem avoiding PMO - this battle in my mind between me and my subconscious has been no challenge so far. I expect things will get harder in coming days.

    Welcome. It's different for everyone. The dopamine addiction of porn seems to be the most difficult. Understand that most of the under 25 crowd started on Internet porn at the same time they were able to M or even before and many report being able to MO as early as 10. Many are experiencing ED as 16 or 17 year olds.

    There does seem to be a battle line that once a guy draws it, there's no going back even after relapses. The guys on this challenge, including you, are taking back their independent manhood and taking no prisoners. I admire them for it. I fully know their struggles and am in the battle right beside them. I admire you taking up a realistic challenge and I'm betting you are going to succeed.

    Even if it gets more difficult, you can do this!!!

    Fantastic to have you here. I can use all the help I can get keeping up with supporting all the guys in this challenge. Hope you'll help with that and maybe bring in some new guys to the challenge.

    My report for today. I'm on a 60 day challenge at the moment but my goal is to never PM again. Taking it a day at a time. Day 41 is so far, so good.

    Slept like a rock but woke up very early. One good thing I've learned in the past few weeks is how to handle middle of the night urges accompanied by very strong erection. Since the night erections are perfectly normal, I don't fight them anymore. I also don't reach down there and start rubbing either. Very bad idea as I'm pretty sensitive after 41 days. I was watching a YouTube video of a successful nofap guy who said don't fight it. Just enjoy it it and let it be. Enjoy how it feels. Just let it be as strong as it wants. Instead of starting to fantasize or reach for that phone, just concentrate on how nice it feels and in a few minutes it will pass. And you know what? Yeah. It does. Even if it were to spontaneously erupt at that point without any help from rubbing, I wouldn't count that as a relapse but so far it hasn't happened.

    Night wood is how it's supposed to be. Did you know that when doctors test a guy for ED, they have sensors that the guy takes home and it tells whether or not the patient gets an erection at night when they're asleep and how many times? As I and others have mentioned, rather than obsess on that as a need to fap, think of it as masculine virility. Yeah, you're a man. Men don't fap. Boys fap. Let that energy fill you with self confidence and the strength to conquer the world. Let's go men. Don't put your testicles in a lock box owned by porn makers. They're the ones with a problem. Don't make their problem into your problem.

    Thank you for the vote of confidence. One of the reasons why I started with NoFap is because I have been doing PMO on a daily basis for a while now, and a big part of that is the very easy access to free porn on fast internet. Part of this is my curiosity in seeing how my body will react to me doing Hard Mode.

    I just reported day 2 on the 7 day challenge, and so far I am having no issues. There was a little bit of morning wood to try and distract me, but I just got up and on with my day. Heading back to sleep now as I have a busy day 3 ahead of me.. I will report back tomorrow on my progress.

    It's on, lads.

    Goal is 40 days. Previous relapse was after 35 days, by looking at a picture I searched for. Looked at it for only 30 seconds. My depression hit me so hard, I couldn't even hear the next conversation I heard. Lost every hard-earned benefit I had obtained from 35 days. From just 30 seconds of looking at P!! : /

    So that's the goal, 40 days. Good luck all.

    Great post. I have a feeling you'll meet this challenge and come back for more ass kicking challenges. I recommend you update us every day this week and thereafter weekly or sooner if you want or need to.
