I’m a 24 year old guy from Sweden who decided to try this out to see if it would have any effect on me. I used to MO from 1 to 3 times a week and I didn’t feel that I was overdoing it. I haven’t been a big porn user, it could be me […]
Read More… from Age 24 – Gay , more energy, harder erections, easier conversations
Totally different than any other relationship in the past. Sex on the first date. She says that it is the best sex she has ever had and she is very complimentary (almost incredulous) of my lovemaking abilities. It’s almost frightening at times how turned on she gets. It is way better for me than in […]
Read More… from Age 30s – I can lose myself in the act
I remember my Day 1. I was really hungry to read success stories as I was skeptical if the No-PMO plan was going to help cure my PIED. So I’m posting a summary of my 90 days here in Success Stories for any of you new guys out there. Again, this is a summary. If […]

PMO made me asexual. No morning wood, no spontaneous erections, no libido, no interest in real women for 6+ months. Mild depression (numbed emotions.) For me, no libido and low emotional dynamic range have been equally as devastating. My life has always centered around PASSION. Now, 90 days later: Morning wood and spontaneous erections fairly […]

My PIED is CURED!! Just had successful sex for the first time in my life! 26 year old virgin (until tonight) who was addicted to PMO-ing for 12 years. I was hard from the second we started kissing. I was literally hard the entire time we had sex which was a solid 20 minutes at […]

I can’t help but make this long, I tried but I can’t. Because this has been such a major part of my life for so long, I have a lot to say on the matter. I knew that so I’d started writing my post a few days ago (I needed a productive way to express […]
Read More… from Age 26 – ED and DE cured, edging slowed reboot
Nofap has been a Godsend. I was always conflicted: I instinctively knew (P)MO was wrong, but there is a general view that it is ‘healthy’, ‘natural’, ‘good for you’, and that everyone does it. Briefly Googling whether or not MO is harmful rarely leads to nofap, because there are a lot of sources claiming the […]
