Going into NoFap

>>38772686
I'm over a month in now, anything you'd like to know specifically?

>>38772726
Actually Yes. I forgot to include in my post that if there were anybody else doing it they should post results or tell about their experience whatsoever

So It's been a month. Did you, during this month, only stop jerking off or did you do other things to replace the voidness left by quitting porn ? What are your techniques for restraining yourself ?

>>38772686
there is a difference between nofap and noporn though isn't there?
I remember reading your testosterone levels rise initially but then begin dropping after 7 days of no fap.

I stopped jerking off and yes, I did have other things to do during the day that distract me from watching porn such as making music and I've been going outside and socialising more. I don't really have any techniques to restrain myself, I've always had decent discipline and commitment to things, quitting porn wasn't that difficult because before I only masturbated 1-2 a day, but even that's too much and edging was the worst of it. That shit took up so much time it's not even funny.

Right now I'm so horny that even 3/10s turn me on. My dick is almost always semi diamonds in public now, it's why I'm wearing jeans more than shorts even though it's hot as hell outside and my jeans are all either black or very dark blue.

Of course there's a difference. As I've said fapping alone without porn (forgot to include that part) based on your imagination is not prohibited but you should be getting laid instead of relying of fantaisies. It should represents at most 10% of your sex life.
Now, the problem lies in the fact that even our imagination is somehow affected by porn. (that is the true evil) That's why I would advise first to stop porn and fapping in the same time to reverse the process. (I hope...)
Yeah heard about that as well. It's maybe why we cum at night when we don't fap, at least I think it's how th body regulate itself if sperm is not released. The last time it happened to me was when I was 11, I'm 21 now.

>I don't really have any techniques to restrain myself, I've always had decent discipline and commitement to things
You should be very glad to have acquired that "particular skill" since it's useful even outside of porn. And in theory you have to normalfag yourself in order to distract your mind from porn, by your post. I'm fucking glad that I have at least aquaintances available to socializing, if they still have any esteem for my person.
It's also good to know that only after a month your libido is on fire, meaning that you're getting attracted to actual women.

Thanks (you) both for replying

>>38773159
No problem, I hope all goes well for you on your nofap journey OP. And yeah, becoming more normie is almost a requirement for nofap. You'll be alright.

>>38773159
Well yeah, I've given up both at the same time, but I'm beginning to wonder whether I should fap without porn just to make sure my penis still works. I had a LDR going, but we broke up and I haven't fapped since.

However, I basically promised myself that I won't fap again until I get a IRL gf, or at least IRL date, so I'm in a tough position. I'm currently the most motivated I've EVER been to find a girl IRL, so it's giving me hesitation to fap again.
Any advice?

>>38773363
Hold to that desire to find an actual gf would be in my opinion your best course of action. How are you planning to find a GF? Or even socialize for that matter ? Are you in school, working ?

>>38774174

I'm in university right now. I'm planning on joining some clubs/societies within the school to meet some people.

Not too sound like a dick, but I don't really have an issue with girls initiating conversations with me, but I have very strict and strange standards, which has made me self-sabotage every opportunity where the girl was clearly into me, simply because one small aspect of her life didn't fit my ideal.

I'm going to join the basketball program/ join in social basketball competition as a way to impress girls as well because I have been playing my whole life, and have managed to become quite good.

Also thinking about working part time as a way to meet people.

Am I on the right track?

>>38774831
You're literally doing everything right. And it's only for the better that you have definite standards. In this way if you find someone you'll have a deeper bond.

I can only encourage you to keep up, you actually hyped me to keep going as well

Wouldn't it be better just to jack off once a week and not look at porn?

For the past month I've made it to a week and then the desire just hits me like a train and I jack off to degenerate shit.

Wouldn't it be better to start off slow and curb my desire by jacking off twice a week with no stimulation as a start?

>>38775341

yep, my standards are pretty concrete for that exact reason. I'm big on emotional connection, and I wouldn't compromise for short term success (attractive roasties).

Good to hear other people like yourself on this board are actually trying. 90% of the people here wallow away and never make a change

The first time i had sex (a few months ago lel), i couldnt get a boner without watching porn on my phone first

thats when i knew the jew got to me.
stop watching porn, guys. free your mind

protip: this is why 2D is better

jacking off to 2D doesn't desensitize you to real people and forces you to switch back to using your imagination to get aroused, which hentai supports greatly.
i need to go back to drawing my own porn.

>>38775614
i hope youre just shitposting

>>38775614
I hope you're joking
2D girls (actual or "male") are always nearly perfect, 3DPD can't even compete with them.
And you're telling me that they does'nt desensitize you ? I realized I've gone too far when I could only fap to 2D traps.

On a side note, I also wanted to add that story-focused hentai doujins/porn videos are even worse, since it appeals to women psyche traits (sex is more on their mind than on her pussy) who like to imagine themselves in a given situation etc. Men just want to penetrate and make their dick feel good when women are more mental about this

Sorry for my broken english I hope I have been clear enough.

>>38775641
>>38775796
i dunno, 2D helps me, i guess i'm just some freak outlier and don't count.

>>38772686

Yeah, great plan.
