    I am currently on Day 35 hard mode. I want to start off by saying that I was NOT addicted to PMO. I would probably watch porn at most twice a week but the shitty feeling that I used to have after watching it was unbearable.

    I am mainly doing this to kill my social anxiety. I have always had low self esteem issues and my social anxiety was so bad that I didn't want to even step out of my house. Especially around girls it has been real bad over the last few years.

    Some of the minor benefits (not superpowers) I have experienced in these 35 Days :

    * Quick reaction times. I've always found it difficult to respond quickly to someone when they say something out of the blue. I would think up the perfect answer only after a few days and then think to myself "I should have said that". After 35 days on NoFap, I feel my reaction times are getting quicker and I can think quicker.

    * Better sleep. Had been suffering from horrible insomnia, but that seems to have gone while on NoFap. I sleep better without the need to take any melatonin supplements and I wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

    * General attraction towards "normal" women : I don't know about the other way round, but I can say that I am more attracted to "normal" women now. Even though I used to watch porn only twice a week, I had minimal feelings for normal girls/women and would always fap by imagining a certain level of nudity. After these 35 days on hard mode, when I think of all those fake porn actresses I don't feel a thing. On the other hand, if I see a cute normal girl walking on the street, I feel pure happiness in my mind and can hold eye contact with her and smile. I haven't yet recovered to the point where I will go up and talk to her, but someday I will get there I am sure !

    I have no goals about how many days I want to do NoFap, but seeing the initial benefits, I want to continue as long as I can and make this my lifestyle !!

    Good luck to you all in your journey !

    TL;DR : Benefits I experienced : quick reaction time, better sleep, more attraction towards normal women.

    I'm on the same boat as you bro. Social anxiety was my main reason why I joined this community and just by reading all the benefits you've experienced in 35 days made me believe that there is hope for me as well. Thank you for this
