My story

Lack of ambition
Fatigue
Unfocused
Anger outbursts
Brain fog
Anxiety
Sadness
Low self esteem

These are all symptoms I’ve experienced throughout the years, some are easily to control than others varying the years but regardless I believe these are an exact cause of excessive masturbation and porn use. I started experiencing some of these symptoms as early as the age of 10 (I know why was I masturbating at 10 ew weird right, not to porn though I had a vivid imagination) The starting symptoms were social anxiety having trouble talking to ppl that I didn’t know, than when I started watching porn at 13-14 (can’t remember exactly) that’s when my depression anxiety lack of self esteem and motivation started creeping in slowly ruining my life. I had no interest in trying to get a gf, don’t get me wrong I found women attractive but just couldn’t talk to them. Years on I’d come to fuck a couple girls after a failed first attempt with a girl in a hotel, I had anxiety attacks my first day and only could get it up at 65% erection. That severely affected my symptoms and I started delving into deeper weirder genres as your brain can develop kinks and desires based on your mental state i.e lack of self esteem and confidence can result in a porn addict watching cuckold or humiliation porn or lack of testosterone and no alpha male mindset can result in a porn addict delving into femdom or BDSM possibly. The brain is clever it craves for the dopamine and it gets it no way better than through novelty (new things). A series of tests were completed in which a male rate in season was put with a female rat in season were put in a cage together, the male rat kept mating the female as much as it could until a new female rat was put in the cage than the male rat (exhausted from mating with the first female rat so many times) had a sudden burst of sexual energy and started mating with the newer rat. The brain is very clever like this and that’s why it takes an enormous amount of dedication and will power to overcome your brains new desired novelty, and that’s why it’s so hard to quit porn you’re literally reeling your brains sexual preferences back to its default settings especially for people with hard core porn passions. I wish and pray I will also finish this great accomplishment one day. Anyway back onto my story, months after my humiliating first time I started thinking if I was weird and I was the only one like this I started searching anything online to help me come up with a diagnosis for my problem. I stumbled across semen retention I saw a range of mental abs physical health benefits linked to my exact issue. Some seemed to good to be true!!! Anyway after doing more research I stumbled across a redditers post that had a link to NoFap. It was the answer to my prayers it described things that I couldn’t even put into words it was the exact thing I was looking for and I started reading people’a success stories and how their life improved. It takes 3 months to reboot your brain fully and to keep the rewards you’d have to keep not watching porn, so I started and failed started failed started failed throughout many months. It was just so hard to stop the craving the addiction was real guys and I had the audacity to say I didn’t have a porn addiction at times!!!. But my porn usage was slowly steadily decreasing and I’ve seen slight improvement from just tha (better control of my anxiety being able to talk to more girls) And this is where it being me now the current time April 2021 my arsenal of knowledge of NoFap is very large now, I’ve watched many videos on the science of NoFap and now I am destined to finish my 3 months. My longest streak was 1 month and even from thhat short time I was seeing small gracile improvements in my life so I cannot deny the fact that NoFap can help and will help me I just need to see it through. I recently eneded a week streak after wanting to clean my pipes as I felt my prostate was just feeling weird and I got scared it might be linked to prostatiis after I searched up what could be the reasons for an inflamed prostate and some websites said it could be linked to not cleaning out the pipes often enough, those claims are ballshit and I shouldn’t have listened to them but anyway I’m on day 1 again but there’s something different this time, porn disgusts me it’s the first time in years I’ve hated porn and I hope this mindset will stay with me my whole life. This is where I need your guys help. I want to hear from people like me (ie same symptoms same kinks) to give me advice, links to any videos that’ll help, success stories, failure stories, veterans in NoFap. I can and will do happily the same for anyone with questions for me. I’ve started this time boys for real and I ain’t stopping for one damn thing
