Thanks, but I know why I am not doing it. I don't have any problem getting turned on or anything just don't want to do it.


I updated my post after I read the part you said that.

I know its a good thread and everything, but if you really want to do it like no masturbation, then you should stop watching this thread. Reading no fap will perhaps make you do it more.

Na, I think its the other way around tbh. I don't know lol. We'll see init.

If you don't want to do anything with it then that's not a big deal, you don't have to

Is it bad that you don't fap because of a person you like and you feel bad if you do it to some random pr0n.

Also does anyone feel guilty when they 'fap'. Like when they consider that the person that you are looking at or whatever - may be someone's daughter/son or something else?


Nope that's not bad, that's admirable and I'm glad guys like you exist.
Major pats on the back
Hi, guys,

So I think that this is something I desperately need. I hadn't had a girlfriend until 18, nor any real sexual contact until then either, but nor had I ever masturbated or watched porn (strange, but there it is). Obviously everything was completely fine when I hooked up with my girlfriend just after turning eighteen. Anyway, the majority of that relationship was long-distance, so I eventually turned to other sources of pleasure whilst away. We broke up around eighteen months ago and, again, nothing's really been happening since then - but the coping mechanism of masturbating has obviously proved more difficult to kick. I'm at university and feel pretty stressed as I have almost no free time (not just my issue: most of my single friends feel the same) to try and meet someone; I think that it's a very common issue at my university because of the workload. I also don't drink either so I don't really feel good about getting with somebody at a club (on the rare occasions I go), which is how most of my friends get around the lack of a relationship.

Anyway, I've been trying to stop on and off for a year or so now. Usually I last a week to ten days, and then relapse. So I'm hoping that being on this thread helps me somewhat.

To the guys, how long was it before you started to see results? Motivation isn't really an issue as I do a lot of sport and spend six to ten hours a day working, but anxiety and loss of libido are - so that's what I'm getting at.

Crap, failed in the morning, woke up proper early, wanted to do some work but ended up laying in bed and you know the rest.

Going to restart though. I'm not regretful, just frustrated as I was on a good run.

I just don't get how stopping suddenly makes girls stare. If I stop I'm only going to be even more grumpy lol

Maybe I'm giving off more testosterone or maybe I'm getting muscular from lifting weights instead of stroking the cannon

Or maybe they're tempting me to go back to porn 😧

Subtle changes in body language, the way you carry yourself etc. I don't believe in human pheromones though I'd like to be proved wrong. I haven't particularly noticed girls staring at me but on nofap around girls I'm more likely stand up straight and give full eye contact with a sexy lower eyelid raise :rolleyes:

Just the result of higher libido I reckon. People, especially those against the nofap crew, tend to forget that libido isn't just about how much you want to **** girls or masturbate, but it has effects on almost all other aspects of your life.

Well sounds like it's working for you. Hope it continues :smile: I honestly don't think it would make much difference for me in that way. I'm more likely to scare guys away by just being grumpy

Yeah I think part of the reason that nofap works for some is they did it too much. So it's not really "superpowers", just "normal powers" but the difference makes it seem like more.

And girls usually don't do it enough which is why I think nofap is ill advised for girls who aren't porn addicts, compulsive masturbators or anything like that.

Wouldn't say I was addicted or anything like that but at one point I did wonder if I was doing it too much and thinking about sex too much aswell so that's what made me try this two or three times. It hasn't went too well lol. Probably won't try it again

Day 42 under the dome... I'm still not feeling any of these advantages, and girls still don't care any more about me, and I still really want to relapse, but my internet speed is better so that's cool.
Day 130 - approaching Monk like status

Still going strong! My spirit, my self confidence, my drive, everything has shot up! Also, I am dating more than usual! :biggrin:
