Day 31 – I first started masturbating to porn when I was 13 or 14. I was doing it most days, if not every day. Then around my 15th birthday in July, I realized I couldn’t keep an erection without porn. So over the last year I’ve been trying over and over again to reboot, […]

Technically, I think I still have about 6 more days of this technique to go through… but I didn’t follow the method to the letter. As a disclaimer I will say that I tried this originally in the summer of last year and lasted for about 60 days, I count my 90 day mark beginning […]

I just completed Day 90 and I feel incredible! I want to thank you all for your information and guidance. I want to share the positive impact [r/NoFap] has had on my present, as succinctly as I can. How I got here: I was dissatisfied with my erectile dysfunction that struck the majority of the […]
