First week of no fap because of ed and years of porn addiction

sounds like low test

Maybe for you lol

only if you're low test.

I'm on my fifth day now, and today has been easy so far compared to the previous. My psychological addiction wasn't as bad as yours, though. Only fapped 1-3 times a day.

Felt more energised yesterday, perhaps my balls are already over the test peak. But then again, it could be due to sleeping a bit less tonight.

Already starting to see myself as a better person, now that I don't constantly reinforce my perverse side (that some part of me doesn't like). I'm starting to see less internal power struggle. Will probably resume occasional fapping after 30 days, but porn is out for at least a year.

Wow, didn't know that porn addiction could be that deep! Doesn't your dick hurt immensely after a while?

Building on this: If you fail no-fap cold turkey, perhaps you could consult your doctor for a drug that lowers sex drive? That way, you have a bit of a track record of keeping away from porn before learning to deal more intelligently with your lust.

its getting worse for me

Good luck! This is some of the hardest stuff I've ever done.
Yeah I used to laugh about porn addiction thinking it was a joke and would never happen to me. Here I am years later with a broken dick and ruined brain.
I've considered seeking therapy for assistance with this problem.

>>constantly fighting urge to touch dick
So nofap turned you gay. Got it

During the last few years I've watched an embarrassing amount of trap porn and also some twink porn. Not proud of it, just kept looking for something new to excite me after I got desensitized to women.

People wean themselves away from heroin and live normal lives, so I'm very sure your brain is not irreparably broken. One of my best teachers in HS had been a heroin addict.

However, you may have to refrain from porn for the rest of your life to avoid a relapse. Hopefully you can learn to have a healthy view of sexuality otherwise! I wish you the best :)

Do seek therapy if you feel this challenge is too much at this moment. Going from 10x a day to no fap seems like a monumental willpower task, and willpower inherently requires conscious focus, which is unsustainable in the long term. These therapists deal with stuff like this every day, and the gain in life satisfaction and the extra time spend productively should easily justify the cost.

Depends. Takes three days for me, sometimes it takes a week. I do notice a positive change, mentally and physically after just three days in most cases. I generally relapse after at most several weeks.

I used to jack once a day perhaps, but I edged for up to 4-5 hours a night untill my nuts hurt. You really do want to cut out even looking at porn. It's a visual stimuli you just don't need.

I've found it can be ok to jack it once a week (preferably just fuck once a week), just to release it. Otherwise you'll just get nightly ejaculations anyway (although wet dreams tend to be amazing, it's still a mess). And generally, a quick release without porn occasionally doesn't seem to have much effect on the benefits of nofap.

It can be worse my dude. I would delve deeper into perversities I'm not even attracted to (down to the illegal, disgusting, shameful) just to get that "extra kick" because everything else has been numbed by overstimulation. I have porn and sex addiction, and there were points I was close to engaging in homosexual endeavours just to get off, even though when my mind is cleared of the fog of addiction I am absolutely repulsed by even the though of intimacy with a man. The real struggle is the emotional damage that comes afterwards.

get a life and you get something else to think besides your fucking junk lol.

This is my streak for now

Power through, after the second week you don't even get the need to fap. The mind clearness stays and the sexual drive increases, but your brain actually drives you to ease it by fucking actual vaginas instead of your hand. Keep yourself busy the first weeks.

I now get an erection pretty much by thinking about fucking even the ugliest of girls, which is how it should really be. This is something I haven't felt in a long time. Feels amazing.

>one week of no fap
>had a dream last night
>oneitis and me were in the back of a car
>our legs were touching

>woke up with a massive erection

no one told me it would be this hard

Missed image.
Also vanilla sex is starting to sound like the hottest fetish to me now. It's all clear. Benis in vagaygay is everything I need now, whereas I needed some crazy or fucked up rough sex/abuse or dirty talk to get off or keep it hard.

>tfw have severe RSI from work in my wanking wrist
>tfw finally nofap because it hurts so much to wank
>tfw never wanted it to be like this

pussy

This. After a while looking at porn just becomes less clouded with beta porn addicted feels. You just lose the attraction to it and see it as nothing more than a picture. It even grosses me out at some level. The idea that I'm looking at some whore getting banged by some dude that's not me. It really starts feeling degenerate.

My problem is, though, that at some point I become weak again. I either have a streak of terrible nights of sleep, and decide to just jack off so I get tired, or something else happens that ruins my mood and I just jack it to release some steam. After that porn starts looking attractive again as a motivator to jack off, instead of just a sort of additional aid to get off when I decide to.

I know that feel my man. When I have urges or wake up in the middle of the night because of how much I need to relapse, I do one of the followings:
-Recall why I started
-Recall for whom'st've I do it (I do it for myself but most people do it for their wives/gf)
-Acknowledge I will feel better for a few minutes, then I will feel the dread for days because of resetting my counter.
-Acknowledge how proud I will feel if I power through just this last time, just one last resistance. Usually this gets the job done because you're literally convincing yourself that you will relapse tomorrow and not now. Then the next day you just say the same ad infinitum.

>be 25
>still get daydreams about sex during work if I haven't fapped that day
>it's only gotten worse because I have now actual memories of sexual experiences so it's more vivid
>constantly lose train of thought when someone is explaining something to me that takes a while because I start thinking about dat ass
It's like having ADHD but with sex. I honestly don't know how I managed to pull through university.

here you go OP, I read this book to help me quit porn and fap all together. It's a great book on handling addiction and getting over it.

I’ve always said that late stage porn addiction can make you gay

I’m a porn addict, I used to edge to porn for 3-4 hours pretty regularly. After I married, I kept edging for hours whenever I was alone in the house (without cumming) and I started to be desensitized to normal porn and now I can only get off to anal porn. I tried going back to vanilla porn and it feels like watching the news. Even when I fuck my wife i imagine I’m fucking her in the ass.
You want to know the worst? I actually fucked her in the ass a few times and it doesn’t feel that great and leaves me with a bad feeling. This made me realize my situation and I’m nnow w doing pretty good at noporn. I still think nofap is a meme though, I haven’t observed any downsides to fapping 1-2 times a week.

If you much touch your dick, do it pornfree. Separating the two urges will make them weaker. And never, ever watch porn again

I know this is mainly down to my weak undisciplined mind, and it makes me a faggot, but I can't resist at moments like that. In the middle of the night, I'm already half asleep and not thinking clearly anymore, when I'm in a bad mood and start one off, at some point I start sobering down and realize what I'm doing impulsively is negative, but by then I'm either too pissed/emotionally upset to care or too 'into it' to rationalize it. This might be my biggest weakness. When I'm in a sub-average mood, a lot of discipline goes out the window and I don't know how to change that.

It's not a meme because you can fap once or twice without issue. The amount of fapping you do to constitute 'addiction', the amount it takes for you to experience negative effects, and the duration of nofap before you feel positive effects (and which) is highly individual.

Every man needs to doscover for himself what is an acceptable amount of masturbation he can get away with without disrupting the nofap. I feel if I don't fap at least once a week or two, I get additional negative effects or the positive effects are reduced because there is an unhealthy buildup of hormones. Some people 'reset' after the first time they masturbate. Some people can masturbate daily and not really notice negative effects.

>literally lowers his quality of life
>still thinks nofap is a meme
Geez, you certainly have the mentality of an addict.

Day 89 here. Been a long road. Luckily I've been having lots of sex. The experience of having sex has been completely transformed now that I don't poison my brain with porn.
I find after around 2-3 weeks there's a point where it becomes much easier.
And if you DO slip up, for the love of God just beat your meat in the dark. No porn.

Not OP, but thanks! Considered writing a piece on internet addiction myself, as I didn't know of any good resources on addiction. Perhaps the domains of porn and internet in general are far enough away from each other to warrant me writing an adaptation, I'll see after having read it.

Serious questions how do you manage the blue balls? Do you orgasm through sex? Aren't you afraid fap addicts meme prostate cancer into reality?

Also, I pulled the woman of my dreams (my oneitis for like 7 years) on like day 20 of my streak. The combination of nofap + hitting the gym 6 days a week gave me the confidence to make the last step on my journey to alpha male. Its not a fucking meme

Porn ruins my life
Fapping not really. I only edge because I’m watching porn.

C-C-C-COPE

For the first 40 days or so of my streak I was having sex 1-2 times per week (nutting in her Everytime) and taking full advantage of semen retention during the dry spells. Also, knowing that I'd be getting laid in a few days would give me the determination to not fap. For the remaining 40-50 days of my streak I've been having more sex with my new girl, probably averaging 4 times a week so I've lost the benefits of semen retention.

That's a lotta hump. Dam.

Can afford it by now. Only having sex once a week, if that.

Can't afford it by now**

sauce on this girl pls

Serious talk though. Whenever I start nofap, I start to have night time ejaculations after ~3-4 days of not having sex. I'm a light sleeper, so it wakes me up, and I have to get up to clean myself (plus legit afraid that I might get my gf pregnant accidentally as well, because I'm prone to.. "moving around" in my sleep, if you know what I mean).

Anyway, my point is, how do you guys cope with this when you're on nofap? I have extremely vivid lucid dreams every night, and it's either about having sex or about people trying to kill me. Or do you guys not have these wet dreams at all?

fap

>3-4 days of no sex
>in bed with girlfriend

>been doing nofap
>had a dream my ex was grinding her freshly shaved asshole and pussy on my face while I was sitting down and jerking off
>woke up with a dick like diamonds and my hand on my dick

This shit is nuts.

I'm 6 weeks in and finally dick is starting to show some signs of life. Last week still couldn't keep it up with my gf but at least it did go up for some time. We'll be trying again tomorrow, wish me luck.

It's a weird feeling because after all those years I actually don't even need the urge to fap or watch porn, it's like my dick is dead.

I would get sex dreams once every 2-3 months before nofap. Now that I'm on nofap, I have sexual dreams at least 3 nights per week, usually don't cum in my sleep though. Doesn't bother me personally. Good luck bro

Having sex once a week while on nofap ia fucking perfect. You get to retainy your semen 6 days out of the week, and by the 3rd day of semen retention you're already cleaning your room and doing things to better yourself without even realizing it.
Just need to find ways to control the intense sex urges that come around day 4-6 from boosted T

Also, maybe wear some tight briefs to sleep so your semen doesn't get all over the bed? I would personally find it uncomfortable but it wouldn't suck as much as having to change my sheets 3x a week in the middle of the night.

Also I recently had sex with my girl and when I came, I felt an intense emotional feeling of love and connection to her, instead of just thinking about ass and tiddies. It was incredible, and I credit it to nofap/no porn.

Power through. There's still hope. Nofap/noporn is our Messiah

A month ago I would barely get semi erect when I got a blowjob, now I got fully hard for a moment just playing around in bed, so it's getting better. Still, frustrating as fuck. I'm so glad she's patient and understanding though.

I used to laugh at people saying porn could be dangerous to kids and stuff, but after years of abusing it myself I now realize how it can fuck you brain up.

>maybe wear some tight briefs
Used to sleep in underwear, but gf doesn't and I got used to sleeping in nude since. Also, I usually wake up in time and can cover my junk in my hand, but still have to wake up to clean that particular mess.

Daily reminder that studies show max test doing it (or sex) once a week. Any less more and your lowering your natty potential.

I don’t even really fap you faggot what don’t you understand.
I haven’t cum from fapping in years so I can’t stop can I

At least porn didn't ruin your taste.

Get a girl to help you cum. Problem solved.

Don't worry OP you'll be fine. I started nofap about a year ago. Haven't gone past 1 week cause I'm too weak but the decrease in frequency slowly over time is what makes the real changes. I went from jerking off to porn 3x a day (from the age of 13 to 18) to 3x a week at most. I used to get withdrawals so bad, crave porn all day, fantasise about nothing but porn scenes. Now I don't even think about porn unless I wanna bust a nut. When I'm horny I think about real women. I can get it up without porn now and find real life 100x more intense than porn. Stop watching porn, heal your sexuality.

Oh and just to add, sex really helps speed up the process of rewiring

I'm already a third of the way through. Poorly written, but contains some excellent advice and insight. Starts out with a bit too much "selling" of the idea, but still a great read.
