When I first began my nofap journey, I was a teenage kissless virgin hitting up Incognito twice a day. At that point, I didn’t know any better. Porn was readily available, and my hormones were up enough to match it. I never had a girlfriend at that point. It was a dream to imagine anything […]

Just turned 24. I didn’t realize notice my symptoms until I broke up with my girlfriend of 3yrs a couple years back. It almost felt like I completely forgot how to talk to girls. I played football at my university so I got a decent amount of attention just from that, but it mostly just […]
