I did it boys, I threw out my fleshlight of 1.5 years, I had (have) a strong porn addiction and masturbated twice daily, low T and made me very unambitious and unmotivated. Practically a virgin (1 sad drunk lay). Why throwing out my fleshlight is a big deal is because i "suffer" from deathgrip syndrome which means i need a real tight grip cause my dick is so insensitive to mere hand strokes and a tight fleshlight did the job well for all these years but it barely felt anything last time. Never felt good
Going to focus on lifting and not be a fucking loser from now forward, 5 days and it's hard as fuck, got to keep moving, practically impossible for me to relapse from masturbation, have deleted instagram and snapchat to not accidentally see thots on stories/discover because porn is still plausible.
I just don't touch my dick lmao It's not like i'm an npc who has no control over his actions.
I do still watch porn tho

I mean it's obvious that we have control, that's why we're able to quit (like im trying). But it's like an instinct when you're addicted to it and stopping yourself is extremely difficult unless you do something radical and take our mind off it with other shit (lifting, reading etc)
You could argue we can stop eating because we have control, but your hunger instinct will make you want to eat anything when you're hungry af

327 days of nofap Well over 1.5 years of noporn
I lost my virginiry a few days ago, can definitely attribute some of the success to nofap. The benefits I've seen: >less brain fog >better cognitive abilities >60-95% less anxiety when talking to girls >less internal dialogue >never feel empty and drained like after fapping >way more stable energy levels thru the day, great sleeps too
I've been addicted to fucked up porn and edit and produce content on /gif/ and discord for about 2 years. I know I'm a piece of shit but porn makes me get such a dopamine high I have only gone 9 days before relapsing.
Cooper Wright
Forget about nofap. Do nopron instead.
I completely gave up porn and fapping, took me about a year. After months of associating getting boners as a negative thing due to my addiction I started to lose my libido.
Better to keep wanking without porn to rewire your brain so you can keep your sexual energy. just reduce the amount you masturbate and don't use any porn or imagery.
These are the kind of benefits I'm looking for, you're strong as fuck user. My brain fog and internal dialogue is off the charts, sleep is shit and always at low energy even when lifting. I hope to achieve your benefits
Yeah I have the same problem, i just didn't do same thing as you though I would save shitloads of videos on xvideos make my own playlists with categories for different shit I hope you keep going because once you're free of that porn addiction you will feel much better about everything else because you need very little dopamine to enjoy things
We can do it boys, we have to admit we never feel good after a fap, only disgust, regret and shame.
I hope you're real bro, I've seen a few of your posts and you seem to have applied yourself long-term to making it and made it. It's inspiring.
I notice the same NoFap effects. Only 5 days in now but I've done year+ in the blast and I never should have stopped. I'm getting older now so it's do or die, I have to quit for good.
To quote another user: This. The hackbook mentions this. The page was called "False Incentives" or something like that. Quitting porn is easy. There is no need to be neurotic about it.
Imagine you were determined to quit playing videogames. Would you call yourself a "Nogamer?" And join a forum online called "Nogames?" Where you and a bunch of your nogamer "brothers" who have decided not to play videogames, sit around and talk about avoiding videogames all the time? They set counters that track the days that read "X days since last game played." And if they ever play a game they say that they've "relapsed" and then beat themselves up for it and feel miserable and guilty. Sounds ridiculous right? Why not just uninstall all your games, sell your consoles/pc, and direct all that time and energy somewhere else?
That's exactly what you are doing when you call yourself a "nofapper" or "norporner" or whatever. You are taking something that you do not want to do, and then constantly reminding yourself of how much you DON'T want to be doing it. It's like putting a note on your wall that says "don't push the big red button." If you say you have quit porn, but your life still revolves around it, then you aren't truly free from your addiction.

I can't argue this because it's an accurate analogy, however I would say it's not a fair comparison due to the high levels of brain rewiring, psychological effects and dopamine nukes caused by porn addiction.
Also there exist a "Nogamer" community called "Stop Gaming" that works pretty much like the nofap/noporn communities.
Porn addiction is probably closer to heroin/cocain addiction than it is to gaming addiction. It's way easier to deprive yourself of gaming than to stop watching porn/fapping since sexual reproduction is the prime male biological urge (more T = hornier) and if you can't find a girl or the mental stability to replace it until your dopamine threshold normalize, it's going to be pretty fucking hard to quit since you are going against your nature of reproducing at extreme levels.

So I'm like 95 days in (not a perfect streak) and flatlining bad. Hard to see the point of continuing this journey much longer desu.

Pro tip: block every porn site with filters and make the passcode some random numbers and letters that you’ll never guess. Remove the stimulus and you’re good to go
Carter Wright
You're the first nofapper I've seen to post body, nice.
Aiden Miller
Thanks for saving me the time. This, folks.

There is an app called "ColdTurkey", it's free to block porn. You can block whatever you want for any period of time you want. It's kinda annoying actually because you can't turn it off once it's on, but it works.
Connor Peterson
inspirational stuff breh
Jack Sanders
What if you want to do nofap just because you want to conquer the mental grasp that fapping holds on your brain?
