So I have been fapping since I was 12 and i am currently 16. I decided to suppress my urges as I quickly realized that I have lost restraint for about 4 months now masturbating 3-4 times a day and getting more socially awkward in the process. I am currently on day 4 of the challenge, I had a unsuspecting case of morning wood and turned to soft porn (clothed twerking videos) to get off but i realized after 4 minutes in that if i were to go through with this that I would just be succumbing to my urges and may increase the time it may take for me to lose my virginity as a by product of a changed lifestyle :/. I just want to overcome my addiction and become a better person.
Keep going brother!, I can relate to you, I remember a time not so long ago I watched porn for 10 hours straight... yes that's right 10 hours straight, how fucked up is that. during that 10 hour session I jizzed 7 times it was legit the lowest point of my life, I was so depressed, anxious, desperate, social anxiety etc. Everytime I feel like relapsing I remember how I felt after that night. The challenge is not easy, but my oh my it is worth it, just last year after just 50+ days (not even 90 days which is the usual reboot period) I felt massive benefits: - so much confidence and self esteem in myself, didn't give a shit what others thought about be, before that I was so damn self-conscious and socially awkward it was painful - Extreme energy levels, like I could sleep 3-4 hours and still have tons of energy during the day - More social and outgoing, can talk to anyone and hold a conversation, can look people in the eye and not feel intimidated and embarrassed - Much better sleep, lucid dreams, - Better focus and sharper mind, removal of brain fog (after years of brainwashing of porn), your brain becomes your best friend and man it is so helpful!!! - The vibes, the mental and spiritual energy, the attraction, people are more drawn to you, maybe it's just the vibes, people give you looks especially those from the opposite sex, I don't know if it is that you are more confident or it's just the energy within you, I think it's a bit of both that helps you attract better things, people, in your life. This is not even the full list, there are well over 100+ benefits of No PMO especially after 90 days reboot. It's insanely amazing!!!
Welcome to NoFap! Some things that helped me when I first started were these: Keeping my door open at all times writing in a journal, reading other journals Wearing a rubber band that I would snap when having a urge or sexual thought Cold showers Staying off social media websites
