I would like to begin this post by telling a little bit about myself. I am 19 years old and have been addicted to masturbation (not necessarily porn, I have a very "vivid" imagination) since I was about 13-14 years old. After discovering the NoFap forum on Reddit, I decided this was something I desired; to break free from my addiction, to change my life for the better, to better my body and treat it like the temple it is. After a few attempts which lasted no longer than 3-4 days, I finally decided to stick it out. I am currently on Day 8 of my NoFap journey and it has brought me nothing but benefits. The first and most noticeable benefit this has brought me is a massive boost to my sexual performance. I participated in intercourse with a friend of mine last night, and we were both surprised at how well I performed. Before this journey I would usually get off after about 15 minutes; I went for a full 45 minutes last night, ejaculating several times and still going strong. She asked me what I had done to make myself better at sex, and admitted it was some of the best sex she ever had! I didn't indulge my secret of masturbation abstinence with her, however; a man does need to keep his secrets to his growing power of sexuality Another major benefit is a deeper, more strong and clear-sounding voice. Before this journey I felt like a prepubescent boy with a squeaky voice. I was somewhat embarrassed to converse with other men on the fear of sounding almost feminine. After Day 5, my voice dropped an entire octave it seems. Girls have noticed it and commented that they really enjoy my newfound voice of masculinity, and men seem more intimidated when I am around, like I'm becoming the alpha male or something! So awesome. Finally, the last huge benefit I'd like to share with my fellow Fapstronauts is a massive increase in self-confidence. I feel more compelled to seek out social interactions, to seek out flirtatious opportunities with the ladies, and to raise my hand and speak more and ask more questions in my classes. Everyone seems to be noticing the changes, and I honestly feel more confident and outgoing than I have in years! In conclusion, NoFap has brought me nothing but amazing benefits and is slowly drawing me closer to becoming the alpha-male of alpha-males. It is truly a liberating, amazing, almost surreal experience, and I encourage anyone who wants a change for the better to take the challenge. The first week is the hardest, I literally almost gave in almost 8-9 times, but I promise it is well worth it once you get past the initial stretch. My goal is to make it 90 Days, drawing inspiration from ImAHealthyBoy's journey on YouTube. This is such a great forum and I am honestly very grateful for finding this community and lifestyle choice. It is bringing me nothing but happiness, and I can't wait to see what this journey holds in the future. Thanks for reading my post guys, feedback is appreciated! And good luck to all of you on your journey to abstinence, clarity of mind, and transformation into the true alpha-male! P.S. Take cold showers! It fights off horniness, clears up your skin, wakes you up, can help burn fat, and a myriad of other benefits. The Art Of Manliness blog has tons of more info on this revolutionary way to keep clean, you should definitely check it out. Definitely goes synonymous with NoFap.
