Hey everyone, definitely proud to have made my first nofap goal!! I wanted to see if anyone had a simar experience to me when quitting. I seem to notice girls... A lot more than I used to (which I always considered more than normal anyway). It's like they're hypnotizing. I don't know. I was wondering if maybe it's just a porn withdrawal symptom? Trying to see anything I can? Any insight would be great!!
Hello Sammcfie, Could be a testosterone surge, I am not really an expert but I can tell you about my case, I am at my 38th day, and I am feeling like when I was 25 about women ( I am 48). I MO since I was like 12, but P was limited. Never had problems until I became a PMO adict. That was when my wife became pregnant, about 10 years ago, so for that time, I started to notice how my libido with real women fell really low, I lost desire for my wife and all about I could think of was what new site I was going to visit to PMO. I had alternate episodes of PE and ED with my wife so my sex life with her was nearly 0, she even talked to me about divorce. I knew my problem was addiction because I could mantain a hardon for a long time when I PMO. I then decided to take this journey, and now after 38 days, I can tell you at least for my case, I feel really good, my libido high, I enjoy looking at other real women. I had great sex with my wife since day 15th and this weekend was incredible. My behaviour could be also caused by a testosterone peak, I hope is not, because I am really starting to feel very good about my sex life. Be strong.
yeah thats normal, its one of the rather good withdrawal symptoms, wonder if it goes away. i have this since the start and its still the same after 55 days
Hi Samm, you have come to the right place. http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthread.php?2402-Get-educated-get-tools-and-learn-to-love-withdrawals Read it. Good luck on your journey.
Thank you everyone for your responses! William, fantastic thread. Just changed my goal to 30 days! 1/3 of the way there today. Noticing less anxiety, less stress, easier time waking up in the morning... Great stuff!! For instance, yesterday I went grocery shopping and the whole place was so packed you couldn't even get a cart. Now usually I'm completely stressed when a grocery store is packed. Not yesterday! I almost enjoyed the chaotic nature of the store. Very very abnormal for me!! After that I spend 20 minutes in line at the bank before remembering I could just leave the deposit in the Dropbox. Wasn't even mad, but instantly laughed at my mistake. No frustration whatsoever. Completely attribute all this to nofap!
