I’m in nofap for more than 35 days (No sex, \, no porn) more than 35 days and Today I had sex with some hooker in Colombia (I’m a tourist here). I don’t consider it to relapse because I had a normal sex. Anyway, the benefits are: I didn’t gain any superpowers/amazing charisma whatever. However: […]

36 years old. After the one year milestone I experienced satisfaction and disappointment. Satisfaction for having reached that milestone. Disappointment because I felt I wasn’t cured yet. I also dated a girl (for the first time in three years) for two months from march to may but did not work, among other things because a […]
