Hello, I discovered NoFap on Youtube and have decided to give this site a shot. I've conquered masturbation and pornography and can offer advice to those who need it.
Yes I need the advice you have to offer One big problem I have is that I can't keep an erection while having sex, I think too much of masturbation caused it Can you help me out here
Maybe you have erectile dysfunction. The good news about ED is that it's treatable. Talk to a doctor about that, as he/she would be more qualified than me.
Hi. Welcome to forum! Make sure you crate a personal journal thread in Reboot Logs section and blog there on a regular basis. As well as just generally be active participant in various forum discussions. I recommend this to everybody new here because it's the major thing that helped me when I was first starting. Just lurking on forums, reading and learning is great. But it usually is so much more powerful to engage. It helps to keep us motivated and accountable when we are active part of community. And keeps this in front of our minds so we don't forget about importance of it and slip away in our old habits. Sharing is also therapeutic. This is a major reason why AA meetings work so good. But that was developed before internet era. These days we can get most of the same benefits online through communities like this. So don't underestimate the power of active participation. I would also like to suggest you to look into mindfulness meditation. It has helped me personally tremendously to learn how to deal with urges. It takes a while to get good at it and notice results, so you need to be consistent with it, but once you do it's very powerful. It has been used by sages for thousands of years to deal with various issues of the mind. And in recent decades the science is also catching up to what ancient sages have know for centuries. Meditation these days are widely used as very effective tool by psychologists for treating addiction and by neurologists for supporting recovery of the brain. It is a great exercise for the brain the same way as jogging is great exercise for the body. Check out this Ted talk, it gives a good idea of what's it about when it comes to philosophy. As far as practical side of it there is this awesome smartphone app called Headspace for guided meditations to get you started. Wish you lot's of strength and success in your reboot journey!
Brother, I have the same problem and many other related ones: Reduced energy level, sweating palms, brain fog, etc. Going to see a doctor definitely a good choice. In fact, I went to see several doctors and did many tests. The result is: I am physically fine.I still recommend you to do it just to confirm so you wont have any doubt left. We then can focus on the real battle: quit porn forever, break this addiction, with time, our BODY and brain will recover. Our cases are not unique and countless people have FULLY recovered after permanently withdrawing from porn. With only 30 days, I am feeling it.
