    Until the end you do not know what can be achieved because it is known that such things as better bond with people, but I do not want to browse this forum because I'm poorly translating to English and I'm Polish and maybe you would describe what abstinence from masturbation can give.

    You have to give an introduction to your history with masturbation and pornography. Even then, people can only guess at the answer.

    That depends on how long you have been addicted and how strong the addiction has been. For a young a teenager like myself, usually the classic 90 days are enough to reboot. For someone who has been addicted to hardcore stuff for decades, it might take years to fully reboot. But I'm pretty sure most start seeing some positive changes after a shot period, maybe some weeks. You will most likely experience withdrawal symptoms and the flatline effect which again depend on your addiction. Nevertheless you will experience the good side no matter how long it will take.

    And if you don't know what some of these terms mean:
    Reboot= when you rewire your brain, get rid of your porn addiction and distorted mentality.
    Flatline= when your libido (sex drive) is very low, even nonexistent. Basically you don't have sexual desires, aren't attracted to other people etc.
    Withdrawal= your body and brain are used to your addiction. Now that you aren't doing the addiction anymore, they have to adapt which might cause some symptoms.

    You would think so. Although it seems counterintuitive, the opposite is true. They key difference is not the length of the addiction or even the total amount consumed. Rather, it is the type of porn. The most damaging aspect of this addiction is caused by high speed internet porn. Those addicted to decades did not access this during their most vulnerable years i.e. puberty and adolescence. During those years, the plasticity of the brain is at it's maximum. Consequently, the damage to a young porn addict exposed to high speed internet porn as a teenager far outweighs those that used magazines, old VHS video tapes or even the earlier days of dial-up on the internet. You may wonder if this is an opinion I am offering. In fact, I am repeating the findings of the scientist Gary Wilson that runs: https://www.yourbrainonporn.com

    If you want to avoid some very brief and mild p/sub-type images in the introduction, start @ 42 seconds into the video.

    Yeah makes sense. I'm definitely no expert or anything. I'll watch the video, thanks for that.

    I am no expert either. We are all learning together.

    I appreciate your excellent contributions on the forums and how you role model recovery from your own experience. :)

  9. It is not about discovering an unknown super power. When you keep masturbating your body will keep aging much faster than your age. You will start becoming weak, having fatigue, anxieties and depression, things will keep developing to worse the longer you stay on pmo. And then it will be more difficult to leave it than before. Having a pure nature healthy and peaceful lifestyle to produce whatever you want each day is the simple goal of Nofap.

    And whether watching porn movies can affect the lack of resistance to stress?
     
  13. The great difference for me this time (someone who has been masturbating and using porn since I was a kid, and I'm now 55) is this site. I kick myself for not checking it out earlier. It has given me resolve and strength, and even if I cannot fully recover, I can help other guys who are trying, which gives me piece of mind and reason to finally, finally, take firm action. I really thank everyone who contributes to this site and those who run it. It's a lifechanger.
