Gentlemen, did any of you notice a change in their face and body?

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Feb 26, 2020.

  1. I was curious about your physical appearance changes when you started this journey. If you felt much more energetic and had much more sleep, had some improvement in blood pressure, or you gained some healthy flush after being dead-pale like a corpse for so mane long?.
    I heard some cases in Reddit about physical improvement when one stops masturbation, and I wanted to inform myself about other males' experiences.
    Thanks in advance for answering!

    I just can speak for myself and the things what I am often experiencing (when I am on reboot) is:
    Everytime I relapse (mostly with porn) I look like a dead zombie, I look more pale than before, and the people around me dont want to talk with me or at least they don't feel a deeper connection to me on an energetic level. And if I stay away from porn and masturbation for circa at least 1-2 weeks then strangers find a better connection in talking or even in writing with me, they find me more sympathic. And I don't know the reason for it. Of course doing transcendental meditation and having a good and long sleep also support this feeling of deeper connection to other people. I mean it may sound ridiculous,.... but it is true.
    Your aura is much more lighter, therefore you feel better and people around you starting to like you more if you stay away from masturbation. It is like an on and off switch you have in your hands. Also if I stay away from masturbation I have less headaches and I am much more concentrated in doing stuff. I am sorry to say this but everytime I am focusing on boobs, butts or sexual organs or even in fantasizing about a sexual act or even a little dirty talk in my head, can cause that all the good things I have experienced for 2 weeks, collapses in seconds like a house of cards. Although urges comes through I have started to see woman in real life not like superficial shape creatures anymore. Woman are much more than that.
    Beauty doesn't mean anything to me anymore. You can be beautiful outside but ugly in the inside and this is what I don't find impressive anymore. All in all I can say you are more realistic and your feelings are much more deeper and your being becomes more honest to yourself. I think this is the truth.
    P.S.: I can never tell this to anybody cause I am afraid that people see me as a pervert, but I am not.
    I am just fighting my weakness and want to become a strong men.
    Best regards :)
     
  7. What you experienced is completely normal, PMO drains your energy and makes you body weak. But when you talked about your physical attraction to women, I do not think that it makes you automatically deceitful or disgusting if you like breasts or any part of female bodies. Let me tell you that women like male bodies as much as you do, they just know not to show it because of three main reasons:
    • it may make them feel sinful.
    • it may make them feel weird because they are "not" supposed to be on the viewing end.
    • it makes them think of physical aggression since they are taught to fear men and rape.
    But I think it is very much wrong to say that us, women, find men's nudity gross or repulsive. It has never been the case for me at least, even since I started puberty at 12 years old, we just are restricted much more than our male brothers concerning sexual behaviors. If a woman feels safe around you (then rape is excluded) and is engaged to you (no slut-shaming or religious guilt trips) then she will like your arms, abs, legs, butt... as much as you would for her, this attitude is not inherently evil, it only becomes so when you have no empathy or concern for your counterparts' emotions and pain and only values them as sexual objects for pleasure. A human being is a human being; male or female and regardless of their sex appeal.
    Anyway, this is a long rant, but you are not wrong for ditching the attitude of sexual objectification and domination men are taught since a very early age. Don't waste your time on your male peers who refuse to admit their mistakes.You did admit your guilt and moved on, but it is not your job to open other's eyes, they have to do it on their own.
    I also did read your post about women using their nudity to get attention from men, but you should learn that not only men feel aroused when seeing an attractive female naked, it is also the same for us. Don't you think that females are just as receptive to sexual imagery as males? well just do research about subreddits like ladybonersGW (I don't advice you to do that if you are going to relapse), and you will see that even men can use women's desire and hormones to get attention and not every male nude picture is homoerotic like many tend to think.

  8. It is not bad to think about beauty, but beauty alone will not create a sustainable family and will not last forever. Male or female beauty lessens with age and all that is left is good feelings and connections.

    Cheekbones more pronounced, better skin tone (I'm a white guy in a northern climate but have had what looks like a light tan even all through the winter). Hair on my head seems to have thickened, nails grow faster, and I have noticeably more hair on my legs (even my wife commented on that). Dick is significantly longer and thicker in its flaccid state, balls are bigger too. I don't know that it's made me stronger but I do know the couple of times I've tried to do a hard workout the morning after fapping it's been total shit. Basically like lifting hungover, with significantly less stamina and strength.

    The one thing I'm NOT doing better since NoFap is sleeping. I wake up every night sometime between 2 and 4 and usually lie there a half hour before I drift off again. That sucks but I'm hoping it's only temporary as I've never had sleep trouble before.

    A little yeah. I’m in only two months. More than physical though I’m giving off a better vibe.

    Im told this by people who don’t know what I’m doing... or not doing

    My skin is much better since starting nofap. I used to get mild acne on my shoulders which the docs couldn't cure. That is now gone completely. I thought it was the sea in Thailand that did it but turns out semen retention was the real reason.

    Also if I have fapped that day and look in the mirror it is almost like I can see the guilt and shame on my face. It's hard to explain but I'm sure others notice it too. Then on days where I haven't fapped for weeks I get more interested looks from women.

    There's a myth that girls pick up on when you have fapped or if you are a regular fapper. This isn't true exactly but I definitely believe they can sense the lack of confidence and that's why you will find they steer away from you while your in a cycle of fapping regularly.
