Here's to hoping this community helps.

Hello, I've been following /r/nofap subreddit since last september, without posting, in the hopes that I would be able to pull off nofap on my own, by reading through the posts there. It has become clear that I can not. As one of my major sources of procrastination, and therefore one of my major causes of faping, I have blocked reddit on my computer, which is why I'm posting here, and want to help support this forum.

I am 17 years old, and have been fapping frequently since age 15. Unlike many of the people trying this, looking at porn has never directly been a problem for me. Instead, I would just fap before bed, when waking up, but always in bed. Recently (this past year) I've realized that my life really does benefit greatly from nofap, but other than my longest streak of 20 days, I haven't been able to last over a week.

I'm hoping that becoming an active member of this nofap community will help me jump over the hurdle and complete the challenge that nofap presents.

 

Well, at least I was able to make it to almost two days. Time to start again, and go longer this time. It shouldn't be too hard to pass two days.

 

It would be interesting to graph out the number of days somebody lasts vs the frequency of people lasting that long. Somewhere I remember seeing a pie chart that had something similar. I remember that each day of the first week was as big as each of the later weeks, each of which were as big as the later months. I guess the longer you go for, the less likely you will fail on any given day. Not to say you are less likely to fail at all, but maybe the pressure becomes less. I do remember observing that on that one time when I went for twenty days; I diddn't feel nearly as much of an urge.
