    Hey all just introducing myself here,

    I am a 24 year old guy that just started NoFap last Friday. I decided to start NoFap for a few reasons : 1. I was watching porn for about 45 min - 1 hour everyday and sometimes even double that. 2. I am in a long distance relationship and I would notice that even though I haven't seen my gf in like 2-3 weeks, I would have trouble getting/maintaining an erection with her, which of course made her think there is something wrong with her. or I don't love her anymore. 3. I would also notice that when I would leave her, I was excited to get back to get home and watch porn. So far I have had many urges but I just go to the NoFap website or watch tv to try and take my mind off of those urges.

    So far I have noticed that I don't really wake up with an erection and my libido is also kinda low. I am currently in a dieting phase (for bodybuilding) so that might also be why libido is low but I'm not sure. I am seeing my girlfriend tomorrow and I hope I get an erection with her because since we are in a LDR, having sex when we see each other is pretty important.

    Any advice for me starting this journey would be greatly appreciated as I expected it to get harder for me.

    Thanks

    Welcome! I'm glad you're here.

    Yes, it will get harder, but if you stay in touch with people here, checking in, learning, interacting, that will help.

    Let me know what I can do.

    Hey D.J thanks for checking in,

    I unfortunately relapsed and I'm back to the drawing board today. Longest I went was about 12 days but I relapse basically all last week mainly due to boredom because I am done with school. Gonna try to get back into it tomorrow though. My problem is I just need something to do to keep my mind off of PM and something that can distract me or relieve me of my urges when they pop up.

    Honestly I'm having trouble coming up with a simple distraction that i enjoy and can be easily used to distract me. Sometimes I play video games but I am not a hardcore gamer or anything so I get tired of games pretty fast
