Verstand is soveel skerper, ek is nie meer gevoelloos vir die werklikheid nie, baie meer selfvertroue

Benefits from nofap

(tans third attempt day 26. Have been fapping with only one day in a row pause max for 4 years):

  1. better vision. I shit you not. Before nofap, my eyes would go slightly out of focus on a regular bases when I was tired. Now, they stay focused the whole day.
  2. I notice coulours a lot more and differently. I don’t see more colours, it is that I see something and think “OMG that is a nice juicy yellow” instead of thinking “mmmh okay its yellow”.
  3. my body is physically fitter. I run faster and have better posture.
  4. My mind is so much sharper now. “The brain fog going away” is an excellent metaphore to describe the feeling. I am also a 100% sure this is due to nofap. When I relapsed one saturday noon, my brain only gave like 5% effort for the rest of the day. I felt “hungover”.
  5. I care again. I am no longer numb to reality. I no longer run away.
  6. Lot more self confidence.
  7. Better sense of taste. For the first time, I felt an urge to eat protein.
  8. I became more sensitive to real world inputs. College used to piss me off to an extend where it would make me miserable – now I actually fucking like it!
  9. I have a hell of a lot more of confidence around people, men and women. I never considered myself having an actual social anxiety. I rationalized it: I is just human to be a little shy blablabla. In retrospect I think I might have had one.
  10. I like people more. I have dropped the “Be useful for me or gtfo” thought scheme. I just have a genuine affection for humans : )
  11. My ability to empathize with people has increased.
  12. Better sleep. I have again the feeling of waking up refreshed, which I have not felt in fucking years.
  13. My thinking has become more positive. I used to think that pessimistic thinking was rational. Now I know it is all about neurochemistry.
  14. I see women a lot differently:

a) they seem a LOT more attractive. My senses get recalibrated to real women. I caught myself thinking: “Oh she has nice big tits. Wait a minute … they aren’t even big! This size would have never interested me before!” I can also appreciate beautiful faces again. It was mindblowing: I went to college and the same girls looked SO much prettier!

b) I see women as humans, not as sexual objects. This is also kind of weird, since I didn’t consciously think that. Only through the change I noticed how my previous thinking was wrong.

c) I don’t jump to sex in my head right away. I have other thoughts about protecting them, hugging them etc…

d) I notice women a lot more. I thought: “Have there always been so many women at my university?”

  1. I finally have a motivation to go out there and find a girlfriend. I am fucking 20 and have never had a girllfriend, now I know where the apathy came from.
  2. Obviously, your penis benefits from nofap. I had the usual benefits like increased sensitivity and raging boners ( I had to go to the toilet to open my fucking pants cause my dick was pressing so hard against my jeans that it hurt). I also found out that hey: the red spots on my glans weren’t from any disease, but from friction! Now the skin starts to look healthy.

Well, that’s all I can think of right now.

I honestly feel like a different person, which was weird and new sometimes.

I am finally living life to the fullest I can : )
