Stumbled upon this topic/thread about about two/three months ago. Me being a psychology student I immediatly found it very interesting and decided to give it a go. Watched the Gary Wilson Tedtalk and read the whole benefits pdf file (read that chit if you haven't)
Made it till day 42 on my first attempt. Failed because i hooked up with a chick. Made out on the first date but she wassen't down for sex. Ended up with insane blue balls, coulden't even walk straight (srs) and caved in. Had sex with this chick three times in about two weeks time, also mastrubated about three during this period (one time with porn).
Anyway stopped seeing this girl, on my second attempt now and hopefully able to make it to at least 90 days. Currently on day 10 decided to post in this thread from now on in in order to increase my motivation and make sure I keep going. Got a new date lined up for next week. Girlfriend of one of my best mates set it up for me and its gonna be sex for sure. I'm determined to not let it cause a relapse this time round. Especially the idgaf attitude and the increased productiveness on my first attempt are very much worth abstaining from pmo.

Finishing up day 9.
Notes:
Think a girlfriend would make this easier
Avoiding all threads that could lead to other things
Weight and strength is higher now than ever
Staying busy works
For those who have wetdreams, does it help with the urge to not fap? I have only had 1 my entire life and I can't remember how I felt.
Reading through the faq I have learned I had flat-lined before. This was before I learned of the no-fap and I can't remember how long I went. I got worried my stuff would not work, so I started fapping.

Sorry misk, I phucked up last saturday night and fapped 4-6 times on sunday and 1 time today(dat dere big a** gif thread, please stay safe)
Will restart tomorrow, i've started my two longest no-fap streaks on thursay. In that way I only have to go through thu/fri because sat/sun I'm sleeping with my girlfriend. I feel horrible about my fapping at this moment, feels like i've cheated on my gf or something.

Still going strong. Today I received a compliment on two different occasions. During a business lunch with with a female client, she mentioned that my face seems to have a certain glow to it, and something about me seems different. All the while, I'm thinking "yea I haven't fapped to girls who look like you." Lol!
After work I went straight home to change out of my suit, and into my workout clothes.Before entering my house, I saw the mail man who've I've known for several years drive by. I waved and yelled out " hey how's it going." After he greeted me, I heard a familiar voice back. She said from across the street " I'd be better if you were over here talking to me." It turned out to be this hot chick I occasionally see walking her pooch while I'm walking mine. We've had small talk here and there, but never anything direct like this. I talked to her for a while and finally admitted to having a gf. She looked kind of disappointed but was still friendly.
No fap is definitely not placebo and with due time you will start receiving more attention from girls. The single miscers need to use this to there advantage. Every brahs time frame will vary, but eventually your whole aura will change and people will pick up on this. Body language, complexion, and voice are just a few that will improve. This in itself, should be extra motivation to keep fighting the good fight.
No fap August, come at me!

that's good stuff man, conrats. you said you have a gf - if you don't mind me asking, does that mean youre doing no PMO or just no PM (are you getting laid regularly). I keep hearing these benefits but have always been confused as to if they are bc of nofap or semen retention.
Be Alpha

Day 21
Summoned up the courage to chat with a cute girl sitting next to me in my lecture right before it ended and ended up getting her number.
Just fbed her and she has a bf, but I feel like its still a step in the right direction.
Hopefully next time she will be single!
Almost fapped yesterday, this will keep me on track

I actually waited 30 days before having sex with my gf, which for us seemed like an eternity.lol! We usually averaged twice a week.I did have somewhat of a chaser effect afterwards. Having the big "O" had my body and mind wanting more. The subsequent days that followed were more challenging, and I had to fight off the urges a little more to pm.
Porn definitely hijacked my brain and sex life. Sometimes I had trouble finishing, and had to visualize an adult actress to finish. That is some sad chit and I never want to back to that. The mini reboot of a month did help though, and I'm looking foward to get back to my longest streak ( 8 months ) and beyond. That is when I felt the closest I ever had with my gf, and just felt like a complete person.

Just registered here to comment, interesting thread.
Its day 5 for me, started last month failed 2-3 times with 7-10 day streaks.
One tip that helped me to reach day 5 easily without struggle was not keep busy with nofap. Tracking your days, looking for ''motivation'' or sharing experiences whatever.
Mistake: Focusing Too Much On NOT fapping
Guess what?
As long as porn is in your mind, you will have a lot of trouble letting it go.
The correct approach is to just forget about it.
Stop obsessing about what day you're on.
Stop posting on threads stuff like "Omg quitting porn is so difficult, the urges are so strong!"
Stop hanging out too much on this forum.
Just forget about porn. Disregard it as an option in your life.
Focus your mind on the stuff that matters. Your family,your health,your dreams,school,self improvement books.
When urges arise, watch them mindfully. Observe them. Do not react. Do not suppress them. Do not push them away.
If I get urges what works really well is go to into a room and yell into a pillow a few times and my urges are gone.
Focus your mind on something else.
Watching porn is not an option. It's not a part of your life anymore. It's a thing of the past.
See you guys back at day 90 (maybe I will post every month or so lol).

1 month down.
Been cutting so sex drive is lower than normal.
Other than that feeling pretty good.
Frankly, don't feel that different from before, other than I get more done, don't waste as much time on the comp.Don't complain about the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do.

Day 5 here and it's starting to get hard. I can feel that my body is desperate for a sexual release. I can feel it building up, kinda like the feeling you get when you need to pee. Can anyone relate?
Also, in on No-Fap August.

Yes it'd make it incredibly easier. There are many guys who never have to masturbate because they have a gf/wife who's always up for sex.
The benefits of no-fap are indeed related to not ejaculating rather than just not masturbating. However, having sex is the primary goal of no-fap, and it also comes with benefits of it's own.
