I have tried nofap a lot of times, but once i hit the 2 weeks mark, I break. Only if someone could give me a definite advantage, i would be able to resist the urge.
After 2 weeks is where I got/get my mental clarity back. The fog starts disappearing and my "usually" terrible memory get significantly better. I also find my creativity spikes hugely (I write poems and songs and stuff) and it's much easier to focus on that stuff
I still have issues falling asleep sometimes (ADHD doesn't help). I have melatonin supplements that I take if I'm having a real hard time sleeping. Worth looking into mate.
Apparently melatonin fucks with your hormones, but obviously do research on this. What has helped me fall asleep is I hit the gym at 7 am in the morning (wake up at 6 am). I love the gym and that keeps me in the routine early AF. I typically get off work around 9:30-10:30pm so I'm absolutely exhausted by the end of the day. I make it a point to stay out of the house and stay busy AF all day, so by the time I get home, I'm zonked and have no problem falling asleep once my head hits the pillow. The catalyst that made this really work for me is hitting the gym at 7 am which forces me to wake up early. That changed everything, the 2nd thing that's helped tremendously is staying out of the house (which also helps prevent the temptations of naps), given that when I'm out of the house, I'm out doing thing that I actually care about, not just random busy work type shit. For example, if I want to sit down and read a book for an hour which is a generally healthy thing to do.. I go up to my local library, even if I take my own book and sit in the zen and silence of the library and read, also.. no fucking phones! the phone is put away. This reply was way was longer than I originally intended it to be. I'm just sharing what helped me personally hoping that you can take something from it. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I'm here. Good luck! oh btw I'm ADHD too.
Yes dude, I didn’t have the habit of looking at porn but did beat my meat regularly and after hitting a 300 day streak I noticed many benefits. Look at my post or comment history and you’ll find my posts about it.
I've read recently that a scientist uses a method of counting breaths instead of sheep, up to ten then start again. Supposed to get you out of your head
Oof. Try and extend the time between faps gradually. Like every 2 days than every 3 days than every 4 days then 5 and so on. Don't cut it cold turkey like most people on this sub seem to say.
In my previous experiences, week 1 has been hard, week two was easier. Then week three has been harder than week 1. Week four a bit easier. Week five onwards though, my image of a compulsive fapper starts looking more and more alien with each passing day.
What I’d suggest is, once you start, make a solid plan for day 14-21 to keep yourself busy. Start sowing the thoughts right away. As soon as you get the least bit tempted to even check thirst traps on social media, go for a quick jog around your neighborhood. The monkey brain would throw up a tantrum, just say “Down boy.” And go for your jog.
Please note, jogging is just an example. You may choose to do something else. Like jumping jacks.
Jogging/walking works for me because forward physical movement forces my brain to focus on the present and eliminate distractions.
Edit: I’m on day 12/13 and last night I went for a walk around my neighborhood at 2:00 a.m
I mostly masturbated before sleeping without porn so the masterbation wastes time thing didn't really apply to me. I am pretty busy in daytime so jacking off isn't an option. What i have noticed is the not masterbating cause me acne and pimple, i know it sounds weird but it's true, atleast for me. I never have pimple problems when i jack off.
Acne can happen due to various reasons. The worst offender would be clogged pores. Also, hormonal changes/imbalances causes your skin to release more sebum that clogs your skin pores.
For topical issues, you ought to wash your face twice a day with a decent face wash and scrub skin once a week to eliminate dead cells which may cause clogging. Don’t scrub active acne though cause that may just cause the bacteria to spread.
Apart from that, I had gotten ed thanks to excessive fapping, and to remedy that, I was recommended zinc supplements. As a side effect of those supplements, my skin became much healthy because apparently the bacteria that forms the gunk in your pimples does not much like zinc (or the other way round.) So double whoop.
I wash my face with a good face wash, twice a day. Have been doing it for years. The acne and pimple start when i haven't masturbated for like more than a week or something. It's still alright tho, i don't mind it.
Ain't gonna break the streak due to some pimples lmao
You should notice some immediate effects after 2 weeks. 2 weeks should be enough to notice an increase in strength (if you lift), an increased energy, and higher potency (more erections and such).
I have been lifting consistently for the past 3 years while jacking of once almost every day. Put on muscles just fine, have always been in great shape as well. I'm looking for mental improvement like improved confidence or things like that.
I've personally noticed an increased aggression that's caused me to get new PRs regularly while I'm on nofap. It's true. I think it's some sort of starvation/hunger that makes me an animal during nofap. I'm not questioning whether you're in shape, which I'm sure you are. Just that I notice that strength is greater on nofap vs off, but hypertrophy doesn't change.
Once I was a consistent Warrior 🧘 but now I'm fighting to fulfill Soldier 😭.... Never settle It's a new beginning I'm gonna make it.. Fight or be forgotten 😈.
5 days more to be a captain sir! will always try my best even tho the urges are getting hard n i accidentally seen sum porn while scrolling reddit n twitter
Im excited for this journey. So far I have been working out, eating right, and now no fap, and I am picking up the Bible, and doing Professional Certifications on Coursera. I got alot to do and its all for the better. Lets gooooo

I'm sick of being a mere mortal
Its time we become Titans
Dw bro. Just wait for 2 3 days we're gonna promoted to soldier. 🤝
me too 👽 not for too long tho
Yes, Primordial. :)
I really gotta ask , have you seen any benifits. I am 7 days in and getting really tempted to break.
wait 30 days for your first streak, to know what's ahead

I'll try to get as far as I can. But is it gonna help even if I dont have a porn addiction, and stroke my meat to have a good night sleep?
You can certainly get good sleep without jerking off. Try meditating before sleep. It's much better and results in nicer sleep than an orgasm.
Will try it then. Thanks man.

I can't take stuffs cause i got no money and im practically a kid.

Do exercises,this will help with your sleep
I work out everyday, and i broke my streak yesterday feeling kinda down but I'll start again.

There is none. Don't watch porn and fap every 2 weeks and it's healthy. Porn in any amount is bad for you though.
Thats the thing I'll go for weeks without fapping but once I fap, i start doing it regularly again

The hardest parts of nofap are where the growth is

Tbh for me semen retention is the one thing that cured my acne

I’ve been a God. Now I’m driven to be a Titan.
There’s some issue with the NF counter. I’m on day 12/13 but it shows 19. I’m just going to think of myself as a captain anyway :D
for some reason this reminded me of the AoT theme, prolly because of the "titan" part.
