OK guys currently at just over 3 weeks on nofap. Have done this before and got to about 5 months. Got myself into a really bad rut mentally lately with depression and anxiety doing their best to take hold. Was fapping way too much, like 3 time a day and felt drained and crappy all the time. Just pointing out fapping is what I have cut out here, I very rarely watch porn and certainly have no addiction to it. The nofap results you see online look amazing, but if something seems too good to be true...

Anyway I pride myself on being an incredibly suspicious thinker. I'm totally immune to placebo affect as I over analyse and question every detail of everything. So I like to think what I tell you guys is the real deal, no exaggerations and totally honest. So here are my findings 3 weeks in.

PHYSICAL

I do feel noticeably better physically. I feel energetic all the time and there is no lull in the day. I wake up in the morning feeling loose and charged. Very good morning wood on waking every day. All workouts are good. Definitely more intense in the gym and seem to want to rest less between sets. I'm not training for strength right now, but can definitely do more reps with stricter form. Obviously far too soon to see physique gains but I'm feeling full and holding myself well.

MENTAL

As a positive I do feel my head is clearer. Can't really explain it but I just feel cleaner in the head, no fog and quite refreshed. Unfortunately I have felt 0 impact on depression and anxiety. I'm doing my best to stay positive but very negative thoughts are grabbing hold of me. This I think is self inflicted though in my inactivity. I sold my business in April and have done NOTHING since then. Since leaving my job a few years ago to start my own business all my work friends have dwindled away and I just have a couple of true friends that live an hour away so I don't see much. I live with my GF but we kind of move in different circles and she's not around too much. So I'm a lonely, FA slug right now stressed over money and not feeling too good about myself. I really think if I was working and had a better social life then all the extra energy and desire from the nofap could have me feeling a lot more positive. Libido is a bit of a hassle in that thoughts of sex do not leave my head. Any time I try to focus on something my head creeps to wanting to bust a nut. In a bit of a rut with the GF right now so not sexing very much, but times I have had sex on nofap orgasms are better and dink is more sensitive. My nuts feel fuller and heavier. No real positives to report on confidence but this I think will be linked to current mental state. Definitely not noticing the reported "girls will be more attracted to you" thing, I feel quite disconnected from random stares and playful eye contact from strangers right now. Again though I'm feeling very negative and haven't been in social situations.

SUMMARY

So 3 weeks in to nofap I can honestly say I have more energy and endurance. I do feel charged. I have not once felt foggy or drained since starting. Morning wood every day and constant desire to bust. All this is definitely carrying over to the gym, I'm a machine in there right now. No mental super powers though. My moderate depression, anxiety and negative/paranoid thinking continues. I hate to say it but I genuinely do think masturbation is bad. Physically I feel lousy after fapping, drained, sluggish, seems to give me a much longer refactory period than real sex does. Is nofap as amazing as what you read about online? Definitely not in my experience. Not yet on this run and it wasn't when I got to 5 months in the past (although I did get much more from it mentally on that longer run). It is though a positive addition to lifestyle. I am going to do my best to never fap again. I hope when I get going with work and social life again everything starts coming together and I feel really start to feel superhuman.

Just can't quite get behind no fap personally. I've had success with it previously but I find that after 7-8 days I just start to get REALLY intense, it throws off my social interactions a lot, similar to taking too much caffeine or talking to people after a long period of isolation.


Avoiding fapping every day is 100% a good idea though. I find if I cut it down to 1-2 x a week I feel much more productive and present

I always feel different
People can claim what ever but I FEEL the difference

I hear you man. I guess it comes down to personal tastes. I feel much better with that intensity inside me. It probably comes down to something more technical like hormonal response. I think I probably make too much prolactin after cumming so my body feels like crap.

Thanks for the honest review. Would read again.

Repped. I was looking for something to push me over the edge and try this.

Bout to try it keep us updated OP

The weird thing I noticed when I tried it was that not fapping was a breeze for me. Not looking at pron was impossible. Like I literally couldn't stop looking at it from time to time even though I didn't want to.

I legit think I have a pron addiction.

Too much of anything is never a good thing. Your self-proclaimed immunity to placebo is exactly the phraseology a person not immune to placebo would use.

Definitely do it man. Start right now. I think someone with a well rounded life, working a decent job, decent social life, training hard in the gym will really feel supercharged on no fap. You got to be strong, first week is hell. Constant urge to fap. It's relentless. Your brain will try and trick you into doing it, to get its fix i.e. will make your dink and nuts feel really dead so you think crap let me check everything is cool down there...RUSTLE RUSTLE. Don't touch it. Definitely no edging. Not even a stroke. Total cold turkey is the only way and brings the most benefits.

It's pretty fuking basic. It's like any addiction. You stop, your life improves (not at first). People who say it doesn't work are people who do it once a week and are absolute idiots. Like someone who drinks one beer a week and notices no improvement when they stop drinking alcohol.

Any habit can be broken man. Go cold turkey on that ****. First week will be very tough but don't back down. Much easier from week 2 bar occasional strong urges. Longer you go the easier it is. Cold turkey is the only way though.

Well no chit you feel a difference. You could have just cut back to a few times a week like a normal person

896 days atm. so dedicated that even in sex dreams I kegel to stop ejaculation. wake up feeling good that no fluid was lost. around 200~250 days I looked at porn a few times and my grit was tested .

the "benefits" are exactly like you would have quitting drugs. the dopamine rush from a full torqued boner is enough pleasure for me

No real man will fukk himself (fap) whilst cucking himself (pron). No wonder there are so many low test betas in society these days

Thanks man. I'm literally moving to another city in a week for university. I won't be watching online pron on the public wifi and have a new laptop with no pron on it.

I really don't think so man. It's scientific fact hormones and brain chemicals alter after orgasm. Maybe some of us are more sensitive to the changes and their effects. Prolactin really isn't something you want high levels of and I really think my body produces too much of it which gives me a long refractory period and sluggish feeling.

No fap is legit and should be attempted by those jerking off more than twice a day (or even once depending how long you go at it), for me i just did no porn and left it for once a day or so and so, though 2 weeks of no fap was as long as i did and i could definitely notice more sharpness to the everyday stimuli, but it's no sorcery or anything.

Semen is VERY powerful. Be careful where you spill your seed.

Easy for you to say, every woman down there is fertile as fk.

Never nofapped on purpose but when a week has gone by and i realized i havent fapped I feel better than i would have than if i had fapped even every other day. basically, i only nofap when i forget to fap which happens on occasion.

no porn gives the same results

jerk off 1-2 times a week using imagination instead of 2 times a day to porn

Too late.

My offspring are everywhere.

strong join date brah. I can concur the benefits of no fap idgaf what anyone else says it's seriously a night and day difference for me.

Are we talking in a bruja blanca type of way?

I've heard of blood magic and black magic, but idk about schwack magic.

agree, iam on nofap
and it makes you more capable in doing things

main problem wet dreams from time to another

No fukin around here - that makes you more susceptible to the placebo effect.

This is a perfect example of why individuals are the worst judge of themselves.
