    What is the first month like and is there any noticeable changes with your body, mind and penis?

    You expect the flatline half way. A lot of people say the first month is the hardest, and your penis shrinks, but mine has been the complete opposite. Everyone is different, so go for it, and see what happens to you!

    The first month is horrible.
     
  4. I'm on day 25. This is my experience:

    Day 1-3: Felt normal
    Day 3-7: No sex drive, no emotions really, numb
    Day 7-12: Very irritable, still no strong emotion/sex drive
    Day 12-19: Normal moods, started getting very strong urges
    Day 25 (today): I feel normal, no strong urges, get medium urges every now and then. I feel like I'm sleeping better, more confident, penis feels thicker, get more erections in the morning. I am still hoping that I get stronger erections in the morning and randomly. I wouldn't say it's night and day difference, but I reason I started Nofap was so I wouldn't get PIED.

    Everyone's experience is difference depending on many factors, including level of addiction (I was probably a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1-10), so you may have a complete different experience.

    I'm 14 days in, and can honestly say it's been a good experience so far. I think it all has to do with external factors, your level of addiction, your reason for quitting, your determination and likelihood of back sliding, etc.

    The first couple of days were difficult, not getting the dopamine hit from the porn & masturbation.
    The first weekend out shopping in town was hellish - all the women had become irresistible.
    The second week I didn't have even a hint of an erection, no sexual feelings whatsoever, no desire for porn.
    This week I feel calm, centered, focused. Porn feels like a distant memory.

    In terms of physical changes, the first week I suffered quite a bit of pain & discomfort in the groin, but that has eased. The penis feels larger, more relaxed and better formed, and uncontrolled erections don't seem to happen. Oddly, I seem to need to urinate suddenly on occasion, and also get the stinging feeling associated with ejaculation sometimes as well, but hopefully that will pass.

    Keep going, the changes in brain chemistry and mental attitudes are worth it alone.

    I'm on day 22 and I guess it's easy as long as you actually go to war with those urges every now and then. My schlong didn't shrink, but it definitely looks unused, lol.
