Stats: male 37 years old, IT professional work for a bank, own my own house and three cars, make a good living, single, 6ft tall 85kg 12% bodyfat, no kids, never married, PMO addict for 20+ years, PMO’ed multiple times per day.
Things I did during this time:
cold showers daily
20min guided meditation with headspace daily
weightlifting as hard and often as possible, 4 times/week, and 2 runs per week
creatine and protein supplements daily
sleep 7-8 hours/day
healthy diet, 3000 cal per day for bulk and muscle
deleted 2TB stash
Things every other day:
pullups on my pullup bar in my house
journaling – writing down monkey minds thoughts
logging dreams
tried to cut back drinking (hard because of social circles)
Report:
small acne breakouts on my forehead after 7days going forward, greasy forehead
noticeable change in size of my balls since I’ve been retaining
Had sex with two different girls during this time, blew massive loads and blew early, I was so arroused I came before I could get hard, so cant really comment on whether my PIED is cured as I haven’t had a regular sex life during this time
Picked up 6kgs mostly muscle, people ask if im on steroids, noticeable difference in physique
ran 5km park run in 25 min, personal best for the year
increased desire for sex, intimacy, love, companionship, hornyness (not very comfortable and very distracting!)
no flatline experience at all, in fact I had the opposite
Strong desires for women in my day to day life, desire to approach them and talk to them, I’m naturally shy so this is very frustrating, also experience short bouts of loneliness
constant feeling of frustration, impatience and restlessness
porn images in my mind seem less strong, like a TV with snowy signal
strong thoughts of sex flowing through my mind late and night, catch myself replaying pron scenes that are in my memory, but the thoughts are not so vivid anymore
regular morning wood, and erections occurring throughout the night when I sleep
more time on my hands
increased focus – when someone at work is talking to me and explaining a complex problem, i find myself intensely focused when listening
feeling less shameful, not worrying about people looking at my laptop or phone, not worried about my work or ISP picking up on my shameful porn addiction
Its hard to say what the impact of this 90 day no fap is because I’ve been applying discipline in other areas. I still feel like I could relapse at any time and have late night urges. This was my first serious nofap attempt and it was surprisingly easy to quit once I learnt about the damage that PMO does to your dopamine receptors.
All in all, it’s going well, and intend to continue with these habits indefinitely.
