    Hi everyone,

    i've been without a partner for some time and i masturbate daily to get relief.
    The result is very often quite the opposite. I wake up being even hornier every time.
    Now i heard of your community and am quite interested.
    Will i feel better if i quit masturbating? And how long will it take to really feel the difference?
    If there was someone with similar experiences who changed his habits i would be happy to hear how his life changed by not fapping.

    Thank you in advance!
    Rory

    I think one of the understandings in the nofap community is generally that masturbation is not inherently wrong. Some people use porn and masturbation with no ill effects. You'll have to decide if it's affecting your life negatively. I will say, though, that in my early 20's (I'm 37, now), my sex life did not seem adversely affected, though I now realize I was addicted to porn even then. In my mid twenties is when I started to notice issues in my ability to maintain an erection during sex, and it worsened from there. The best advice I can give is to be brutally honest with yourself, and keep a close eye out for warning signs. Do you skip other activities because you'd rather masturbate? Do you feel withdrawn from others afterward? How much time do you spend masturbating? If you choose to abstain when you're feeling horny, do you succeed in doing so?

    I would love to be a healthy masturbator, but I am most definitely not. That is why nofap works for me.

    I'm only 16 and I struggle to get or keep and erection because I keep thinking about in during a sexual moment instead of thinking about what I'm actually doing, I think I'm addicted to porn, should I try NoFap?
