Newbie - Please Provide Some Guidance

Hi All,

I am male. Age 26. Never had a girlfriend nor a sex life (without escorts). I used to make out with girls but I don't ever go out now. I have no friends and I'm lonely. Hence how I developed the porn and masturbation addiction plus the regular use of escorts (no often for actual sex).

It's time I changed my sexual behaviours and habits. Please help to guide me in getting started with NoFap. I am glad to see that we are all in this together. I am happy to provide support where I can once I am a bit more experienced with NoFap. I am interested in hearing how your experiences with NoFap are tracking. I could do with some inspiration. Could do with an accountability partner if anyone else is available? What are some of your strategies for coping with life without fapping?

I am looking forward to the challenges that the NoFap journey presents. I currently watch porn and masturbate once every day for about 1 hour (been this way for many years now) so it will be quite a big change for me. One that I am very much looking forward to. Although, the thought of a final 'fap' is a little daunting. Nevertheless, I believe that I am ready. This is it. Here I go!

 

Thanks. What does the panic button do?

 

Thank you all very much for your kind words of encouragement. I am feeling positive and very excited about the journey ahead. Just a quick couple of questions: I haven't stopped yet and I'm not sure how to go about it. Kind of freaks me out a little. Should I have one 'final fap' or just not think about it and start whenever? Also, should I aim to stop for say 1 week, then try again to stop for two weeks, or just aim to stop for as long as I can right away?

Gosh, this is a big leap here. It is hard to imagine life without fapping and porn. I'm focused and determined I just want to feel confident that I know what I'm doing once I quit.
