No PMO for 60 days, Absolutely No benefits so far !!

Not good at english myself:

I myself feel that I´m not having so much benefits with nofap. When I´m meeting people, especially girls, it feels like I only have thoughts of sex and that I have problems of concentrating on what they say...

I even sometimes have´pre-cum´ and this getting really umbarrasing.

I think I may masturbate some so I maby don´t have it this way!

 

For some people it takes longer to notice benefits. Traditional Chinese medicine explain this by: The longer you have been depleting your body with masterburation, the longer it will take to recover. Also it is important to stop fantization because this drains energy.

Nocturnal emissions slows down recovery and can be reduced by doing this exercise daily: (11:14) Basically just reach for your toes so you can feel a stretch in your legs. If you want to know more about this I suggest you visit this thread:https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/6-years-clean-rebooting-as-the-best-remedy.135983/ It contains very valuable information that has worked for many, despite the psuedo scientific tone to the thread.

Congratulations on 60 days btw!

 

Did you say you watched some porn throughout your 60 days? You should’ve reset every time you watched it. Your body has changed to seek porn very strongly and by using it, you’re keeping it alive, you haven’t gone far into your recovery if you’re still using

 

No, that is not NOFAP. I only read until here and stopped. You must stop EVERYTHING related to PMO. Some claim orgasming with a partner helped, I am not one of those. Anyway, the reason why you are still experiencing symptoms is because you ocasionally watch porn. I would reset your progress man. What are you trying to do? Stop the habit?What is your reason for joining NOFAP?

 

That kind of thread is pretty dangeours to the noFAP community, you are not doing the necessary to recover and at the same time, you're publishing wrong diagnostics and results to those who are sceptics seeking diferent experiences from other people. I suggest you to delete this topic, once you realize you were following the wrong path.

Peace.

 

Do you have sex? Not sure if this sounds heretical against NoFap, but imo the main problem with fapping is just that fapping can "short-circuit" to sexual gratification devoid of actual sex.

Basically, the whole point of "sex" drive is to have sex, and however your sex drive works you should acclimate to getting/having sex. However, depending on the circumstances, fapping can potentially (not necessarily saying it "will 100%") short-circuit you from desiring/pursuing sex as a means of sexual gratification.

At the same time, however, I wouldn't recommend doing long stretches of NoFap if you aren't simultaneously having sex in the interim. Sure, with NoFap you can turn off from fapping/PMO as a means of sexual gratification, but if you don't end up gratifying your sex drive somehow, you can end up in flatline (which is what you currently seem to be experiencing).

tl;dr -- the purpose of "fapping" is just to keep your sex drive / libido up, as in towards/pursuing/having actual sex itself. Not to replace it with whatever else as a means of actual gratification.

 

Lol well yes I did sound kinda preachy there but I stand behind it! : P We all know the biological/evolutionary purpose behind why sex drive/gratification is there anyway, I'd say it's our biological purpose to follow it! Besides, I think trying to pursue it will do wonders for that "social" anxiety as well ; )

 

You’re right, that is major progress, but I think the main concern is the P and your counter should reflect that, it’ll only help you

 

Porn is even worse than masturbation. The implications of porn addiction are far severe than that of masturbation addiction. For me (and I believe for most of us), I am addicted to fapping because of porn. I never had an urge to fap; it was always to watch porn which always led to fapping.

 

I was flat a full 60 days before I saw any gains

 

I’m taking a product from Whole Foods called “charged”. It is helping me with my T levels

 

You should compare it to other addiction's. A person who want's to stop smoking stimulates his brain by smoking, even it's not as often as in the beginning. It is like you'r giving your brain the taste of porn which still stimulates him. So i would say you'r on a 8 day streak instead of a 60 day streak. But you improved alot, now you just have to loose tie ends

 

If you are watching porn, you are not rebooting. You can't only go half way with this. You must go all the way to see benefits. It has also been reported by countless individuals on these forums that it may take even longer than 90 days to achieve your goals depending on the individual and the addiction level. PAWS is a real thing. Look it up. Some people experience withdrawal symptoms for as much as two years after quitting PMO. The best mindset to have during this is that it is going to be a permanent lifestyle change and you are in this for the long haul. You can't make exceptions when it comes to PMO addiction...

 

This is most likely a flatline man....... keep going and stay strong! Wait until you are at least 90 days before you relapse. You'll most likely feel benefits by then.

Also: Make sure that you do other self improvement things next to nofap, such as going to the gym, meditation, cold showers and journalling. This way you become more engaged to nofap and this helps to avoid relapse.
