I don't know where to begin and what to say, Im confused. Im addicted to fapping and Pmo'ing for more than a decade since my teenage years, if I remember i started watching porn since I was 18 years old. Now, 65 days into NoFap, flatlining since day 30 and I started doubting if NoFap really works but yesterday was something different, I woke up and I had very little brain fog, (i was having brain fog since last 5 years), then I felt huge urges to make love (not to fap or watch porn) but to make love to a real woman. The urges was too much but I held back since I knew "Edging" to urges will not help me and put brakes on my progress. Now today, I woke up, I did not feel urges, I had no brain fog, but today I was filled with energy , the same kind of energy I felt when I was 16-17 years old, I felt like a little kid. No desire to have sex, nothing just full of energy, I watched outside my window and I really enjoyed trees and birds singing. I started doing things which I used to do in my teenage years, no thoughts of sex. But when I do force myself to think about sex, damn!! I feel like an animal and I start getting some tension down there, though Not full Erection but definitely something begins to happen . I am getting a taste of what real libido looks like. I know I still have a long way to go, but I can see how amazing NoFap is. But I just want to say to my fellow fapstronauts brothers that if you really want to see results of NoFap, STOP EDGING , otherwise you will not move forward, edging will keep you in a position called "stalemate", you will neither go forward nor backward and you will think NoFap is useless and give up finally. Once you stop edging, (i guarantee you, the strong urges you feel will subside in a day or two), and then you will be happy and there will be no urges anymore, trust me I have gone through it all. The biggest roadblock in NoFap journey is edging, just stop edging and the urges and fantasization will stop themselves after 1-2 days of urges. I am yet not qualified to tell since I still have not completed 90 days but sure I can tell you to learn from my mistakes and don't do the mistakes I did, to make your recovery fast and quick. Best of luck my brothers, Love you all
Congrats on your journey man! You are recovering like you are on a horse I am flatlining and I dont know how its going to last. Its taking me long maybe because I was also a drugs addicts so it might take long . Did you also take drugs or just porn addict? You are going great and healing fast. Good luck champ!!!
Lucky.. a week behind ya with no sensitivity and no erections period. Like I said though, won't see any results till maybe day 300. Till then though, I'm as sexually aroused as a toddler with diaper rash. Congrats bro. I'm getting pretty tired counting days. You feeling the same?
No I was not drug addict, I was actually orgasm addicted. I used to use it as an escape for life, if Im under stress I orgasmed, If Im under anxiety I orgasmed, If Im sad I orgasmed, If Im happy I orgamed etc. So I used it as an escape for life, and now things are certainly getting better, which drugs were you addicted? Heroine, cocaine or meth? Or all of them? Dont worry dude, you will get better 100 %, just dont give in, let your receptors heal . Best of luck
Maybe you just taking more time to heal, just hang in there bro. I already thought of giving up on nofap , because I was getting anxious and I had a dead dick and zero libido all along, but now Im feeling libido and sexual arousal, I can tell you its all worth it. Just hang in bro, there is light at the end of tunnel. Just go through the tunnel, and I guarantee you life will be so bright once you reach the end and experience that bright light
Hy bro, awesome post !! Im also feeling quite same way, although the urges have gotten down. Mind fog and fatigue is still there, I mean I am fine for 2 hours and then these symptoms brain fog, fatigue , anxiety hits again. Whats happening? lol Im proud of you bro good luck
That has been my life in a nutshell. Porn/erotic imagery was simply the gateway to the thing I wanted which was the orgasm. Finding new ways of getting that dopamine high is helping such as High Intensity Interval Training, dancing to high energy music also. There's nothing quite like an orgasm in terms of feelings but I'm now getting some beautiful healthy highs without the soul destroying downers which accompanied my previous behaviours. You're doing really well and you grant hope to those of us here who are new to the forum and also those well on their way to recovery. Stay strong my friend and keep the quit. You will be an even more awesome human being on the other side of this addiction.
congrats bro! I hope you get to your goal and beyound of 90 days! you can do it! ps: btw, what edging means?
Thnx man. Thnx bro Edging means playing with your penis and jerking off to the point of orgasm but stopping right before ejaculation. Its one of the worst things you can do during your reboot.
Oh, so Edging mean this... Yeah, it's just very nasty. I did it 5 or 6 times in my whole masturbating basis. When you do it, your penis bacomes confused, like: "what the hell man?! Are you wanna fap completely or what?" it hurts...
