Neural Correlates of Sexual Cue Reactivity in Individuals with and without Compulsive Sexual Behaviours (2014)

Comments: The long-awaited Voon study highlighted in the UK documentary “Porn on the Brain” is finally out. As expected, Cambridge University researchers found that compulsive porn users react to porn cues in the same way that drug addicts react to drug cues. But there’s more. Compulsive porn users craved porn (greater wanting), but did not […]

Age 24 – Harder & longer lasting erections, strong urge for real women, greater confidence

24 years old. Hardmode. At day 21 and day 25 I dry humped a girl and orgasmed. Watched porn maybe 7 to 8 times and edged accordingly, with regret because it does slow down progress. You can feel this afterwards when you walk down the street and look at girls. Superpowers: Confidence rises with as […]

Endogenous opioid-induced neuroplasticity of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area influences natural and opiate reward (2014)

COMMENTS: The DeltaFosB studies we often cite all focused on the nucleus accumbens (reward center), and found that sex pretty much trip the same brain mechanisms as meth & cocaine. From the landmark study by this same researcher (Natural and Drug Rewards Act on Common Neural Plasticity Mechanisms with ΔFosB as a Key Mediator (2013)): […]

1 year – The benefits are there and they are well worth any amount of struggle you may go through.

Female – Age 19 & French: I’m fully rebooted sexually, no longer chronically depressed

6 months ago, I decided I would try not to look at porn or masturbate (masturbation without porn being impossible to even be thought of) for three days. I did this spontaneously, after looking at this interview of the singer I was in love with at the time. Why did I decided this? First, because […]

Age 26 – ED: I am confident now, I am sure of myself. No longer controlled by addiction.

At 45 days I wrote a pretty successful report that people seemed to like. It emphasized how NoFap wasn’t really about masturbating. It was about taking back control over your life. You see, masturbating is a bad habit, like smoking, but instead of damaging your lungs, it damages your mind. But when someone decides to […]
