My porn-induced ED is gone, social anxiety is a lot better, didn’t need meds after all
Well I used to isolate myself, eat a lot of junk food and was very very shy, always awkward around women. In 2016 my friends paid me an escort. I was a virgin and was drunk so I said ok. But then I did not feel anything, like nothing was happening. I even thought WTF, […]
Married almost 20 years – I now know what passionate love making is
I want to make this as short and direct as possible. Married almost 20 years and have only been nofap for the past year. Even through most of my marriage I struggled with PMO. Sex was there about 2-3 times a week and I would still PMO almost daily, even the days I did get […]

I quit using porn and now I feel worse. Is this normal?
- “Today marks my 7th day without porn, and my fifth day without masturbation or orgasm. but I have never felt this bad before. I have no libido, no morning wood, no desire to do anything. It’s worse than before. I am getting scared. Is this normal?”
I have a girlfriend now and the high I feel making love and connecting with her is 1,000x better than wanking to porn

TL;DR at the bottom! This is kinda long and involves my whole experience pre- and post-porn, so here goes. I’ve marked this NSFW as there are some specific references to sex and masturbation, although I’ve tried to avoid being very graphic: Hey everyone! I just came across this sub when doing some research and thought […]
I am in the best place I have ever been. My childhood innocence is back, I enjoy things again.
I failed 3 times before I got to this point. One thing I told myself was to never stop trying, and here I am, 90 days later, evolved from a boy, just starting my journey as a man. 90 days ago I told myself that if I was ever going to be successful in what […]

Female – Nofap has taught me patience, happiness, understanding, satisfaction, effort, sociality and concentration, and that my body and mind are one
265 official days behind me and 100 far from a year of no pmo. Healthy streak. Why would I be quitting? When I first started this I had no other goals to stay clean for a very long time, probably forever until I’d get a partner. Porn was shit and masturbating worthless, draining and life-worsening. […]
