I’ve wanted to do a success story for a while, and what better time than less than 30 minutes after relapsing on my 175 day streak? For some background information, I’m 15 years old and started masturbating around the age of 12, although at that age it was a rare thing and I didn’t look […]

I started fapping around the age of 14, however I watched very few porn. I relied mostly on fetishes inherited from my childhood to get aroused. And as time went on, they became nastier and nastier, and the internet surely helped this trend. Around the age of 15, I was masturbating thrice a week. I […]

COMMENTS: The controversy section of this paper contains the following: There are a number of electrophysiological-based studies, by Prause’s group that provide some evidence that sexual desire, not hypersexuality, predicts self-regulation of sexual arousal [92]. These investigators suggest in other work that subjects reporting problems regulating their viewing of visual sexual stimuli (VSS) who also […]
It’s been over 90 days since I quit porn cold turkey and started my first ever streak (+- since our counters broke down). The nightmare mode streak, as I call it. At 27 yo I currently have no GF, do not plan to use escorts, never used or plan to use drugs or alcohol, and […]

I turned 31 recently and was addicted to fapping since I discovered it, which was around 10 I think. I had plenty of GF’s that I had regular sex with, but the sex never last too long (5-20minutes max? no fast action). It wasn’t a tragedy, but looking at what guys can do at porn, […]

While I have slipped up a few times during this 8-weeks, I am 100 per cent confident I will never watch porn again, because the last time was so very boring. Like an alcoholic who has a beer after they stop over years and thinks it tasted like piss, I feel the same way about […]

A lot has changed in my life during this challenge, whether it be directly correlated to noFap or not, I am glad that i’m in a better state now. Besides the general noFap benefits such as energy, more time, etc- I was finally able to get the girl that I have crushed on for over […]

This is long post is probably one for the lurkers out there: Fapping went from the background to the foreground for me. It never disrupted my life impartially in the most obvious ways, nor did it have a grip on my daily routines, but I’ve recently realized it’s having a toll on the one I […]
