Hey former no fapper here with a 6 month record under my belt and just want to give some friendly advice.

For me the first 2 months were the hardest, no porn, no fap, no sex or sexual activities really took a toll on my drive. But through focusing on lifting and studying/reading the urges finally broke giving me a great appreciation for the willpower required.

You can expect after breaking the 2 month period an increase in sexual prowess, energy, focus and general drive. My lifting ability rose steeply after this period as well as my ability to attract girls. I speculate that this was due to increased testosterone affecting muscle and pheromone production.

Although there were some negatives, irritability, agitation and going ape shit now and then. But its the same kicking any addiction, former misuse of opiates, alcohol, weed and tobacco will teach you this.

Diminishing returns set in for me at the 4-5 month mark, it is likely that once your body adjusts to the new norm you start to forget what it used to feel like. Making you feel like the grass is greener on the other side.

I decided to end it once I broke 6 months and continue on with no porn for a further 2 months.

The topic comes up once in a while with friends and everyone either thinks your a god or mentally ill, but in hindsight I see the journey as simply a self building exercise. One that I intend to pick back up sometime.

Good luck guys its worth it but in moderation, holding out for 6+ months would be edging on extreme in my personal opinion. But only you can be the judge of this, I'm sure there could be long term benefits but for a young guy it wasn't for me.

>holding out for 6+ months would be edging on extreme in my personal opinion

Nofap doesn't continue to increase in its effects after a couple months so I don't see how 1 month is any worse than 6 months or several years. Fapping is just indulging an addiction for no good reason

You are correct, you could go for years without any major change in urge after you break the addiction but for me it was essentially about resetting my body so that nofap gave me the advantages again. The body will adjust to equilibrium and the profound effects are lost to simply adjusting to the new found drive. But that's just how I experienced it, can't say I know much about the science of it.

That's interesting because I wouldn't phrase that as adjusting, I'd phrase that as a decrease in the positive effects of nofap from long term use. Are you sure it's not just your appreciation of the benefits that has decreased?

I guess you could say my appreciation for the affects decreased but that's because it became my normal which got me use to it. If I was to pick up nofap again I would likely cycle it, much like you would a drug.

>I purposely jerked off to porn and destroyed the amazing streak I worked so hard for.

What a cuck. I doubt you made it even 30 days. You remind me of this guy I saw in the comments section of a NoFap video, where he said that he made it to 90 days and felt nothing. Obviously bullshit.

How could possibly know that was bullshit? Placebo effects are real.

Because the dopaminergic effects that come from quitting porn and the testosterone is all to real.

I haven't heard anyone who legit made it 90 days say "this is completely 100% bullshit". The worst I've heard is someone saying the benefits are overstated.

You sound like an operative trying to get us to doubt nofap because you fapping is good or some shit. WDYTYA

Yeah but he is saying that the difference was negligible enough for him to quit it and go back to his old porn fapping ways. Complete BS.

That's why I say he's an operative that's trying to make us doubt Nofap.

He didn't say that at all. He listed several desirable benefits of nofap

>You can expect after breaking the 2 month period an increase in sexual prowess, energy, focus and general drive. My lifting ability rose steeply after this period as well as my ability to attract girls. I speculate that this was due to increased testosterone affecting muscle and pheromone production

and went on to talk about how he got used to the benefits instead of being overwhelmingly appreciative of them

>it is likely that once your body adjusts to the new norm you start to forget what it used to feel like. Making you feel like the grass is greener on the other side.

>I guess you could say my appreciation for the affects decreased but that's because it became my normal which got me use to it

He also never went so far as to say that what he experienced would happen to everbody, only that it happened to him

so

>That's why I say he's an operative that's trying to make us doubt Nofap

this is silly

there was a story I read of Jacques Cartier when he was exploring through the St Lawrence seaway.

>Frenchmen appear one day in seaway

>have incomprehensible technology

>have 0 women among them

>Indians don't think they're human because how do they get off?

>local indian chief wants to extend a friendly gesture

>sends two of his daughters, 7 and 11, to the sailing vessel naked to please the men

When the sailors did what they considered common decency, clothed the girls and sent them back to shore, the natives were even more baffled.

Moral of the story: nofap is what leads to discovering continents

t. shameful fapper hoping for necessary self-control

Good story and all, but remember what board you're on. Nobody here wants to read about degenerate oil drilling pedo fantasies
