Your Brain On Porn

When I started this, I had the "see if I can do it" mentality. But after a few days and some heavy temptation, I turned to you guys, and I found an extremely strong, respectful and supporting community that gave me a lot of inspiration. I immediately decided that I was going to take this seriously. Since NoFap, I've:

I have finally made it to 90 days. Below I will be counting together the benefits I've had by doing the nofap challenge. My benefits are:

Energy - You can't even imagine how much energy I've gained since I've started the nofap challenge - the effect is mindblowing. When I'm not working out in the gym, I'm having trouble sitting still in class, because of the huge amount of energy I've obtained by not fapping.

What I felt before and after no fap:

• Life is dull, no where to go and life's a waste.
• Porn is my world, girls are just sex toys.
• There nothing called Love; there's one universal truth i.e LUST.
• All relations and bondings are false.
• Everyone Faps so what's the problem if i do too!!
• Porn is SEX EDUCATION (LOL this was actually told to me when i saw my first porn clip)
  

“I’m resetting my dick and my brain,” said Greg Barris of his decision to give up porn, sex and masturbation.

Barris is one of the men featured in New York magazine’s piece about the male anti-masturbation movement. According to the piece, a number of men are reflecting on their masturbation habits — even abstaining from “fapping” altogether in order to be able to perform better with women and to be better men in general.

This is my second attempt at nofap and I am very proud of resisting the urges. The first attempt lasted 6 days and then I did not try it again for several months as I managed to convince myself that it was not necessary. I was wrong.

Why I'm here: I started off going to catholic school, with parents who didn't talk to me about sex. This is not a good way to raise your kid. I was essentially left to figure it out myself (aside from whatever the school was feeding me), and I didn't do too well! I first discovered porn around age 11, by complete accident.

Before saying anything at all, I need to say thank you. If it weren't for this community I don't know if I would have ever been able to slay this demon. When I was going through the rough part of my reboot it was all of you right here that kept me on track. But this isn't the only reason I need to thank all of you.

The other I reason is because you all helped me find my purpose in life. At least my purpose as far as I understand it.

The last 100 days have not been easy. But man have they been worth it. Not just with Nofap but I have made many other positive changes in my life in those 100 days. Nofap was the solid foundation though. I then went to stop smoking weed, drinking pop. I also began meditating and lifting on a regular basis. I put all of my sexual energy into these things and they have all paid dividends. I feel healthier than I ever have before.

I am 19 years old. Today is my first day of being a fapstronaut. My father is my inspiration. Since I can remember, my mother has had serious health problems resulting in at least one major surgery a year. To pay off these medical bills as well as my sister's and my own tuition, my dad works a great deal of overtime, on the night shift, at his job. He would work all night, then sleep during the day.
