So in our family, birthdays are pretty much split into a couple of groups; the birthdays from May – September, and the ones from January – February. There’s this one cousin, who’s like my lost brother when it comes to family activities, who sat next to me during our Christmas dinner. My mother told me […]
I had a 2+ year streak, starting in college, and it changed my life. Honestly, after a few months, I didn’t even think about NoFap anymore. I was living life the way it was supposed to be lived. I made amazing friends who shared my values and excitement for life, got a blue belt in […]

It’s been 9 months so far and the journey has been awesome I’m on day 264 of no P and M. I feel very, very little urge to masturbate. This will be my forever journey. I wouldn’t say I’m fully recovered yet but 80 to 90 percent of the time, I can perform. If it’s […]

The most common complaint is erectile dysfunction (ED), though delayed ejaculation (DE) and anorgasmia (inability to reach orgasm) are also common.

Am 24. Symptoms [related to porn use]? A whole fucking bunch to list- didn’t realize it at the time when I began nofap, but now that I’m about 4 years into this nofap lifestyle and with a 300 day streak- my perspective is much different than before. A couple of them would be PIED, couldn’t […]

How could I possibly have erectile dysfunction? I was only 23 and physically healthy. I went searching and found long threads of guys saying they thought porn had caused their ED.
