    Hey all,

    I'm relatively new to NoFap. I'm proud to say that it has been over 30 days since my last viewing of pornography. I haven't cut out masturbation or orgasm, but I haven't looked at porn in over a month.

    I'm interested in possibly cutting out masturbation and orgasm too, just for the challenge, and after reading about the benefits of doing so, from various Fapstronauts. I personally believe that masturbation and orgasm are normal parts of a person's sex life, and I believe that my masturbation habits are not compulsive or problematic right now. I'm at a place in my life where I'm pretty comfortable with being single (last contact with my ex was almost 3 years ago). I'm definitely in no kind of rush to be in a new relationship right now, and that's fine. Cutting out porn has definitely helped me, with this particular attitude. I guess I haven't really noticed much else, since cutting out porn - but at the moment, I really don't feel any desire to look at it, and I can say that with honesty.

    I think the main reason I've wanted to quit looking at porn is ethics. I believe that the industry helps fuel abuse of women, and the proliferation of internet pornography is just disgusting. I also know that looking at porn re-wires parts of the brain, just like hard drugs do. For a long time, I've wanted to cut porn out completely, and just have zero part in that particular subculture. I think that by continuing to read threads on NoFap, I will be helping myself to stay away from it. Anyway - I am very proud of this accomplishment, and will accept any and all advice for continuing sobriety.

    GJ, I would like to recommend you to cut off MO too (for some time). Masturbation/orgasm is not bad, but over years of masturbating with porn your brain developed strong pathways that are connecting usage of porn, masturbating and orgasm. By cutting of porn youre weakening these pathways without a doubt. But, even you dont think so, by MOing youre still stimulating those bad pathways in your brain.

    Whole purpouse of NoFap is to weaken (you cant destroy them completely) those bad connections in your brain you created by PMOing and develop some better healthy, natural pathways. Keep it up and GL :)
