Hi guys! A few days ago I came across NoFap on Youtube and a ton of convincing arguments and scientific informations later, I decided to stop porn and masturbation for the next days. I am totally overwhelmed by all this information about NoFap! There are so many really sad stories related to porn consumption and masturbation! This caused me sleepless nights, but I recognized myself in so many of these stories, and I had to look into many of those mirrors. I do not want to to imagine how many time and energy I wasted! Over the years I became very lonesome and there were so many years, when I was hiding behind my work, I did not go out, I neglected my friends, just to become a hermit, far away from the real world. What was the price I had to pay for this toxic combination of porn and masturbation? I dug out my diaries and found, that my last REAL sex I had in December 2015 and February 2016! The years before and after: NOTHING! Not even huggings, no touchings, not tenderness, no kisses, but plenty of pixels. Terabytes of it. I lived a virtual sex life, an illusion. Caught in the matrix. Enough of it! What do I expect of NoFap? I WANT MY (SEX) LIFE BACK! My reboot plan. Today is DAY 6 of no porn and no masturbation! Very exciting so far! I already can experience a lot of positive effects. I had no bigger cravings so far, maybe because I am soaking up so much new informations about NoFap. It keeps me away from porn. In a few days I am turning 50 and I want to give myself a special gift: 12 DAYS OF NoFap! I am optimistic about it and I think, I can reach my first goal! Some facts about me: I am Peter, 49 years, self-employed, creative artist, gay (and proud about it), living in Salzburg, Austria, in the heart of Europe. I promise to do whatever is necessary to get my (sex) life back. All the best, love and peace! Peter
