So today is 300 days no PMO, MO, and only sex with a partner. Anxiety almost completely gone. Sleeping thru the night for the first time in decades. Self-confidence much higher. Lingering physical symptoms. Headaches are down to just light tension in temples, occipitals, and neck and upper back. Feels like everything is melting and […]

Well, let me start for starters. I relapsed (about 10 times today) but I made it to day 30. My addiction is very severe. NoFap isn’t bullshit at all. Don’t listen to the skeptics. This NoFap challenge could change your life for the better. However, if you don’t have an active lifestyle, NoFap is next […]

hello guys, I thought I wrote some about my experiences for some kind of celebration. As I remember things I write them one after the other: – Better skin, bigger cleaner eyes, improved memory, better appetite, better smell. I can feel tastes now.

Porn since dial-up was a thing (NetZero, America online. Really dating myself here lol) when I got home from school before my mom got home. Lots of success with women […]

Read More… from Age 27 – “If you are serious it’s as easy as punching through paper”
My story is rather simple and not really filled with huge struggle with porn but I think it shows how I began interacting with pornography in some forms back when I was 11 years old or so. Stickers wrapped inside gums sold on the corner kiosks in Russia featured naked photos and I had a […]
Read More… from Age 32 – After a month, sex and life in general became much more enjoyable
So, a little backstory here, I discovered masturbation and then eventually orgasm in about 7th grade, and then porn at the end of 8th. I always felt that it was wrong, but it felt too good to give up, and then I was addicted. I am now 15, almost 16, and I found NoFap 8-9 […]
