Firstly, I’m sad to say that my reason for posting this is completely egoistic: I really, really want to be that guy writing his 100 days report. The ones that used to be my idols are now starting to become my equals, which is in itself thrilling. Second, I would be a total douchebag if […]

I do not necessarily think promoting abstinence is a bad thing, but it gave me mixed feelings about sex. Certain sex was […]

if you want a tl;dr, skim to the bolded points! Hey there! So I’ve actually reached 90 days twice now, and haven’t masturbated twice in the same month since last March. However, I never wrote up any 90 day report for either of the times I have reached 90 days and beyond. This community helped […]

Dear fellow nofappers, I have finally reached 90 days in my journey and here is my report. I am aware this is awfully organized, forgive me for that. Summary and overall judgement Doing NoFap had a great effect on me. I started from a very bad addiction and I also had other problems, and it […]

YBOP Comments: the following is a response to an EEG study (Steele et al. 2013) published in July, 2013 by SPAN Lab. The study was promoted by Nicole Prause as a major challenge to the concepts of porn and sex addiction. YBOP analyzed this deeply flawed study at the time it was published: SPAN Lab […]
