    I am 18 and a high school senior and porn has caused me to become emotionally numb and objectify women. I have only one gf and i did not truly love her i just hoped that i would love her the longer we were in a relationship but the truth is with porn i was not capable of feeling.I have or falling in love.I have not fapped in 34 days and it has been great my mind is a lot clearer then it has been in a while and my balls ache from time to time. I decided to try NoFap mostly because when i looked in the mirror i did not like what I saw. It is not that i am against porn it was just my way of getting away from my emotional pain as i was bullied heavily sense i was 13 or 14. I was first exposed to porn when i saw it on my brothers psp at the time i did not know what i saw at the time. I do believe that porn has contributed to my social anxiety and some ruined friendships. So i decided to try NoFap the first couple of days were by far the hardest days but after that it has been a piece of cake.But other then a clearer mind i have not noticed any changes.

    Well, perhaps you are in a place or at an age where other thing are ok, such as your physical health and energy levels. One could say that a clearer mind is everything, because so much starts with our thinking, so now you have the clarity to create a good life for yourself. You still have to do things and you still need challenges and interests. Great job btw, I hope to be there one day.
