I just wanted to share the benefits I personally found with this.
1) 1 year 2 months ago – stopped watching porn. By now I have almost zero desire to watch porn, now of course I want to see naked women but I have zero desire to masturbate hunched in a bathroom to someone getting laid. The best comparison I saw was just imagine if it wasn’t a phone and someone just let you watch them have sex while you jerk off in the corner – sad. Ive also heard porn gives you disgusting fetishes, thankfully I never got to such extremes but even the minor ones I had are completely gone now.
2) 3 months ago stopped sending/receiving nudes. This was big for me because I felt “confident” because I got a girl to send me her nudes, I enjoyed it more than porn because it was personal to me but in reality I hated myself for wasting hours daily talking to multiple girls at once trying to get the conversation dirty and although it worked a lot it was complete stupidity. The reality of it is was that I was so UNCONFIDENT about how they would perceive me in person that I felt safe behind my phone screen because they can see only what I let them, I would even go as far as to say I was more addicted to getting the photos than I was to masturbating (although I obviously did that too every time I got them)
3) 2 months ago – stopped masturbating. When I finally made the conscious decision to stop it was one of the best decisions of my life, the amount of time i have to do the things I actually want to do is amazing, when I first started with stopping porn I used that time to learn piano instead and now I just aced my ABRSM grade 4 exams with a 130/150! (I had practiced a lot). I go to the gym 5-6 days a week now and I also do a lot of studying into computer science as well as electrical engineering, and started to intern at a real estate firm and I’m moving up steadily in the business. The point is that I decided to use my time PRODUCTIVELY and do what I want to and be proactive about it and I get to accomplish these things.
4) Now I could list all of the other benefits of nofap such as higher dopamine etc. but I really just wanted to point out that being productive and stopping instant gratification is one of the real ways to become fruitful and happy in life.
5) Bonus: Yes I am pulling girls now, I have true confidence and have no problem approaching girls and I have equally just as no problem being rejected (and the crazy thing is it doesn’t happen NEARLY as much as you’d think). Although I think I will try going for a real relationship because I think it will have much more meaning to me.
Thanks for reading:)
