Age 18 – I was curious about my symptoms and about porn and masturbation – made my own analysis

Today, I’d like to share about my 90 Days NoFap experience. Allow me to share a little bit of myself. I’m a young adult in South Africa and I will be doing my final year in school there after I will chase my wildest dreams. I had a fairly good upbringing. I am 18 years this year.

I have been struggling unconsciously with porn addiction for roughly about 5 years now. The time I became conscious was when I began to realise that my porn habits had taken a toll on my body and mentality.

Discovery Phase

I began unconsciously changing my perceptions about women and masculinity. I had become a lot more lethargic, started getting sick a lot more easier and began being less motivated to anything with my life despite still being young I still saw it as a threat to my future.

I am a research person:cool:. If I’m curious about something. I search on Google. I give much of my appreciation to Google’s developers for such an amazing search engine.:p So I was curious about my symptoms and about porn and masturbation as a collective. Parts of the internet said it was good and normal and others seemed to disagree. I don’t believe off the bat anything I hear. I make my on analysis before I decide what I believe.

In the midst of that, I stumbled across this website NoFap and decided to view peoples experiences with fapping and porn. I read many forum discussions and lot confessed having health issues due to excessive fapping and porn.

Turning Point
I then decided that I will stop watching porn. Little did I know it wouldn’t be an easy task. I entered NoFap challenges. I managed weeks there and relapsed here every so often. There was a period where I gave up. I had to do some introspection and realise certain things before I recovered and continued fighting my addiction. I had come to realisation as a youngin that addiction is not solely limited to drugs and alcohol.

By the beginning of this year, I had secured a couple 14 days challenge and 20 days challenges success badges You Know What I Mean. I decided I wanted to do something ambitious, something big. I then stumbled upon 90 Days NoFap. I was damn that’s a long time with out satisfaction.

First time I tried was a flop. I had underestimated the challenge and hadn’t kept track of my progress.

Had a long break befo….

CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK!!! LOCKDOWN

I was first excited to get a long break from school then the days became lengthier and grew a bit more lonely despite being with family. An inactive mind calls for evil thoughts. I was not about that life so I began evaluating how can I improve or fast track my future success using my time wisely.
I took the decision that I will not masturbate for 90 Days straight.

I breezed through the first 20 days because I had gotten in the habit to fap after a longer time period. When I got into my 30’s. Yohhhh!!! I never seen my body throw so many erections in a day. I was h**** like heck. But being me I ignored it and continued with what I was doing.

LOCKDOWN LEVEL 3!!! SCHOOLS MAY COMMENCE

Yayyyyy!!! Finally I’ll to see the squad and everything. I didn’t take into mind I’ll be encountering girls (which are not family) after a long time. I am in a boarding school soooo…. you catch the gist. I was within my day 40’s and still running hard. It was tricky but I did the most to constantly occupy my mind with something different every time. No time to be vacant.

Made it through and it was becoming less difficult but I had to realise that your mind sort of gets cleansed in the process so you won’t be triggered easily but when you do it will feel intense (differs amongst people). I managed to get to my 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

By my final days, I had come to love and appreciate a lot of thing but all the most myself. I had decided to constantly change habits which reap better health benefits and increase my prosperity in my mind and physical. There were benefits to NoFap but eyy its a difficult journey (especially if you don’t have sex or staying a virgin).

I relapsed (fapping only without porn) before 4 days of completion.

Moral of the story. Change for you to better yourself to care for yourself. Good things are attracted to good energy. Hence the strange phenomenon people somehow experience of increased sexual appeal but heyyyyy!! NoFap is a great place to find support and its a great habit to implement to conserve your bodies supply of nutrients and good health.

I’d suggest books that helped me during this whole process. Hit me up if you need support or if you need someone to talk to☆☆☆.
