Comments: This paper (abstract below) contains two longitudinal studies examining the effects of Internet porn on “delay discounting.” Delay discounting happens when people choose ten dollars right now rather than 20 dollars in a week. It’s the inability to delay immediate gratification for a more valuable reward in the future. Think of the famous Stanford […]
I (19 Male) started NoFap because I was sick and tired of not having any social interaction with girls, and I desperately wanted a girl to sleep with. I also had mild PIED. I was jacking off at least 1 times a day, some days 2 (to porn obviously). I decided to give NoFap a […]

So yesterday I broke a nine week no-porn streak. I’m going through a bunch of shit right now, and I reasoned that watching porn would free up some willpower for other challenges. I can’t honestly say it was a bad decision to have made, but I’m looking forward to starting my next streak soon. BENEFITS: […]

I made a post about two weeks ago saying that I haven’t watched porn for two weeks and it was because I saw this TED talk video on how porn fucks up your head. And in that post I said how I had better sex dreams and woke up with harder morning woods after not […]
