Your Brain On Porn

Despite the fact that I haven't hit 90 days yet, I figured I would give a brief overview of how my /r/nofap journey has been being that the next few days I will be busy. I'm a 16 year old boy whose life has been turned upside down since the discovery of this magical subreddit. I have been watching internet porn (PMO) for all of 2 years.

It's hard to believe that is has been 90 days. I didn't start this journey so I could get a girl friend or so I could be more confident. I started it because I had hated myself. I remember two years ago (when I didn't fap) I used to have fun and I also used to enjoy life.

I really need to share this with you guys. Two weeks ago I was at 30 days and was experiencing a real high in terms of the rewards I was receiving for my No Fap. I went out on one fine evening to an event in my town and was remarkably comfortable, relaxed and confident. It was like nothing I had experienced. So there I was sitting at this event and I saw this beautiful, impressive woman standing at the bar getting a drink. I recognized her from a poster and when I went to get my drink I just casually started talking to her.

I'm on day 90. This is my second serious attempt, with the first one being 12 days. It has been a beautiful ride. Benefits:

-Better posture

-I'm getting better socially

-More control of my impulses

-More motivation ( I'm doing good in college, I started 100 pushups, my room is cleaner then ever before, I'm reading lots of books like I used to before my PMO days, started meditating. The list goes on and on.)

I'll keep this (semi) brief, because all of you have read about the benefits before. I'm here to tell you that this. shit. works. I had a huge problem. I easily fapped [to porn] every day. Multiple times a day was the average. I would seriously fap on my lunch break at work. I would fap before going to sleep every night. And even though I would sit down and think "I shouldn't be doing this and I'm harming myself" - I still couldn't stop.

Background I am a 32-year old guy. More than 3 months ago, I started no-PMO journey aiming for a new life by the motivation of YBOP.com. I followed articles and science behind PMO for several months. In the middle of December (16th, 2012), I finally started my counter of no-PMO life.

There's so many 90 days reports that I think I'm just going to list some of the most notable changes that come to my mind right now. Many of the changes I've felt may not be direct result of nofap, but instead of my mind going "Well, you can't run away to PMO, so why not do something useful instead?" I'm not going back to PMO ever again, I know it.

From zero to 100. Hi every1, I’m Aiyuris, a 25 years old guy who lives in Italy. I discovered this community something like 10 months ago. For me now, it is like decades away from reality. But let’s start slow….

I'm not going to say much, I'm just going to say that I've been porn free for exactly 6 months, and can count the number of times I've fapped since then on one hand. I'm just going to list all the benefits that I've experienced with NoFap:

The last few months were nothing but great, let me tell you! I started this whole nofap journey around July last year because i was at a point in my life where i was just fed up with myself and couldn't stand it anymore (was mortified because my ex-best friend cheated on me with my ex-girlfriend for several months; had to move out because of it ( didn't want to stay there anymore)).
