Day 10.
I feel like my hornyness is ruining my quality of sleep. The last few days I have woken up at 2am with a raging boner.
Of course I have resisted the temptation of self fellatio, but I don't want no fap to have negative consequences to my life???

No, none of us here are doing it for test. You've spent too much time reading about the bro-science part of Nofap, which is a common trait for people who don't avocate it and ergo haven't looked at it beyond the surface (which unfortunately, is riddled with said bro-science).

Hi i just started this NoFap lifestyle....i am on Day 10 today, wondering about the "Flatline" they mentioned on reddit, not sure if it has been mentioned in the thread. Cos my sleeping pattern is changing, i find it hard to get back to sleep if i wake up to piss in the middle of the night.
Not sure about this "Flatline" is a reboot withdrawl symptom, or if i am tired out from training from the gym...

Great progress guys!
I've been on NoFap almost two weeks now. At first it started out great, however during the last week i've been having extreme social anxiety/ low beta voice/ some stuttering etc. I had social anxiety before starting NoFap, but now its WAY worse than before. I don't even want to fap. I've been jelqing/ doing kegels, could that be the reason why I feel so terrible?"You think this is a f**king game?"

Hey man.
It's cool that you have thoughts like this since you're new to this entire thing.
I think what you're experiencing is something called a flat line.
Is your libido lower than usual? That's usually the main sign of a flatline. A lot of people when they experience a flatline also recieve depressive symptoms and such. The point is don't be worried about it because it's a natural phase in the reboot process and everyone will experience the flatline phase whether it's in the beginning or later on.
The point is you will get better soon and to relax.
As for jelqing. Isn't that basically masturbation? Masturbation as in any self stimulation to your penis. So isn't doesn't jelqing kind of go along the lines of masturbation? I may be wrong because I don't jelq and haven't looked into it. But I thought the idea was instead of going up and down you go up only. Which to me seems like stimulation lol.
That can be a huge problem because when you're releasing dopamine and not having an orgasm which really ****s your receptors up.
So yes if my understanding of it is correct I'd avoid that chit. It has a very low success rate anyway so just stop for a while if you really want your reboot to be flawless.No Fap since Feb 3/2013.

ok tobias.
look dude. have you ever heard of the placebo effect? let people think no fap helps them in whatever way they want.
you are doing this to prove that you are stronger than your urges? what's the point unless you are getting something real from your struggle?
the reason you do no fap is to make you a better person, and that includes all the ways in which "broscience" tells you that it helps.
don't try to dissuade people from doing something good for the wrong reasons. sometimes people need to be told a lie, or a half truth in order to make a change
no fap is about more than just one thing. let people use it however they want to.
everyone wants to be better. if that means increases testosterone for one guy or less anxiety for someone else so be it
you have the right idea but don't act like you have all the answers just because your reasons are different than someone elses

Back on day 0 again. I can't get complacent and need to press ahead.
Tobias, I will be leaving and going back to uni. for the spring semester tomorrow, so we won't be able to skype this time. I ended up failing 3 out of my 4 classes last semester and am on academic probation. I hardly studied and spent too much time on the misc procrastinating. Because of that, I won't be online besides school work and email. Spring semester will be finished in early May and then I will be home from May to mid August before the fall semester starts.
So I will be back to the no fap thread sometime in May. We will def. have time to skype between May-August.
Man, when I come back in May, it will be great to show the progress I hope to make in my life.Cobra Kai Crew

Hello everyone
Im on day 5. Altought I didnt fapped to kum since 12 days ago, but it still doesnt count cuz I watched porn...
It is hilarous to see how a thing I did for like 3-4 years is easy now. I know its like day 5 but I dont even think about watching porn, or If I want to I have a filter so I dont really worry about it, maintaining a sober mind is easier, when there comes a temptation I can actually defeat it (it is amazing). I know it is really small time but women do look at me, and the fact that you do not show a mad face fapping to some shemale porn in the middle of the night also makes you a better person. And I dont do bodybuilding, I do boxing, tho I do consume protein powder (dude it is so tasty) because I want to be bigger, and I dont always have the time to eat, and Im interested in living a healthy lifestyle, and being healthy is not just your body, if you are infected with fap addiction you are not healthy on the mental side. So when I work out, I can actually push my level, like Im really tired but I can still decide whether to kill myself by still pushing the limit, or just slow down because you are soo tired.
And I seriously lived all my life in different dream worlds, but without fap Im trutly sober in my mind, and everything feels REAL. Im a very happy, smiling person, and It didnt change but I think maybe Im having flatlines because the previous 2 night I wanted to sleep but I thought about stuff, and started crying, then I felt better, may be it is my system maybe it was the fact that when you wanna sleep you often think about your bad moments in life, but one thing is sure I see things differently.
Also Im reading more and my mind is more open for the real beauties of the life.

I wrote that post in the frame of mind that I want outside observers to find Nofap more credible and take it a little more seriously.
Too many times Nofap has been blindly criticised, because those that do have been reading posts like
"Been on nofap for 2 days now, here are the benefits:
-Deeper voice
-Acne has gone
-Girls look like they want to rape me everywhere I go
-My bench has gone up 10lbs
-Dick size has increased
-All fears have left my mind
-Guys cower in my presence
-I swear I looked in the mirror today and it looked like I had Super Saiyan aura".
And made us abstainers look like a bunch of clowns.
If people want to believe that then fine; but I'll say here and now that they are deluded and once those "benefits" dissipate they'll probably be the first to give up. Alright buddy, I hope I've made major progress myself at that point.
Dard do you still want me to write up that response? It won't take long, but I can't help but feel like it would be redundant at this point; everyone else gave you amazing and thorough responses which covers the same ground.Into- Mountaineering, running & Djent/Progressive music.

Thanks for the help man!
Yeah, I have like zero libido. That is sort of a good thing though. Also, its reassuring to hear that it may just be a flatline, atleast I know that i'm not the only one. But I obviously hope that the benefits are going to start coming ASAP(no pun intended).
Well, as for the jelqing, you're absolutely correct about the going up only. Also you need to be semi-erect to do it, however it isn't intended to actually stimulate you. But I'll stay away from it during these 90 days."You think this is a f**king game?"

Placebo or not it works. Here's an example of how it works - for me, anyway as I can only speak for my experience obviously.
1. Social - In order to have a problem with porn, you need to spend time alone in isolation during which you jerk off. This may be one of the most antisocial "hobbies" there is. When you start doing NoFap, at the start it'll be a lot easier if you're spending that extra time you "gain" by spending it around others. Let's face it, you're not gonna be hanging out with your mates and suddenly pull your d1ck out and start jerking off, will you?
2. Performance - I've had problems in the past with perfomance in bed but since starting the challenge, I've had no problems in that aspect.
3. Productivity - at the very, very least when you start NoFap you'll have more time which one would assume would be spent wisely into becoming a better and more productive man
4. Voice - Voice is definately deeper, when on NoFap. I like that it's now more masculine.
5. Confidence - I have an awful lot more confidence than I did before. I think I am more a man that a girl may want to spend time with than before. I don't have this "skeleton in my closet" that many other guys have. Due to the increased confidence and other factors, I can make eye contact a lot better now than before.
6. Female attention - I have gotten a lot more attention in the last few months than I did for like a whole year plus prior to quitting porn. Is this all down to NoFap? I dont think so. I am more social, which combined with the confidence and deeper voice probably gives me a lot more chances with girls. I am well aware of the fact that it could just be that I'm more social than before. But I am not nervous when it comes to women anymore. Randomly coming across a hot Scandinavian student? I dont instantly think about how hot she is and how I'd like to "mate" with her as may be the case when OnPorn. Now, I'm more relaxed and just social. This helps my conversation and having fun in general, which is benefitial in the long term, and overall gives me better response from females.
For me it seems that when Im on the streak, I don't think about having to get with a girl in order to have a release. Im aware I have more energy which needs to be spent elsewhere. Also, when Im with a girl Im more chilled out and going with the flow as opposed to being in my head and thinking too much about things which may make me act kinda awkward and creepy lol
A couple of comments I've had from females that know me about my change.
1.
Girl I used to work with and tried to date without success (after not seeing me for 1 year plus): "LosingControl, you're quite funny. When did this happen?"
LosingControl: "I've always been funny, haha!"
Girl: "Not as funny as you are now"
2.
Female friend of mine who hadn't seen me for months (during which time I went on my 200+ day streak): "LosingControl, there's something different about you."
LosingControl: "What do you mean?"
Female friend: "I dunno but you just seem much happier"
