No Fap Challenge Progress

[Hobbs]

Most of you seem to be having a good time with no fap so far. I'm curious how addicted to porn and fapping were you? Many of you report increased aggression, more sexuality, easily getting boners, feel good, ect... You all are really reaping the benefits.

How have none of you gone through any withdrawals???

I have not experienced nearly the same results. I have quit porn and masturbation for 17 days now, with one relapse 6 days ago. I have been looking at porn about 5 days a week for the past 4 years so I know that probably most of you have been looking more and for longer than I have, dont lie, many of you are girl starved.

Here is a list of what I have experienced, and its all negative.

• bad frontal headaches
• brain fog and difficulty remembering
• insomnia (only fall asleep about 2 hours each night
• lethargic, don't wanna do sh*t can barely cook my food
• don't socialize, hate talking
• nearly cried in front of superior at work
• craving for porn and sex scenes always flashing in my head
• pain in my joints and tense shooulders
• anxiety even when no one is around

I'm going to keep at it because I know it will get better with time, but this f*ckin sucks. Absolutely horrible for my work, seriously thought I might have a panic attack today, my supervisor was just like "wha...", and I'm typically a pretty calm and relaxed guy. Overall, I'm extremely surprised with the amount of positive experiences I see, tho I do agree that to be free from the addiction will result in these successes that I have read.

You've listed ALL of the withdrawl symptoms!
You did do it more than me. I did it about 3x a week, was starting to do it twice or three times a day. just recently. thats when I decided to stop.

The forums that I read all stated that after teh 3rd week, withdrawls start kicking in. Men get sensitive, cry, headaches, nausea, feel flu like symptoms etc..
It sounds like you're just going straight to the withdrawls
The crazy thing is that many men have STATED that it's harder to quit than when they quit smoking!
So just stick through it man, if you're going through them early, it just shows how much of an addiction it was for you

I usually do it 3 times a day, but I once went 3 weeks without doing it at all (very long school trip) and it was the best time ever.

I like to think the withdrawals are telling me to quit porn forever. Something that makes you feel this way when you quit indicates dependence. Thanks for the solid support Hobbs. You're right, it can only get better from here.

Did you have these symptoms before as well?

REPORT: I had that peak, super testosterone peak, today, day two. It was the most intense EVER. I've been fapping less, and the urges are getting harder and harder. Some will say that more testosterone was accumulated in the meantime. Others will say that the brain is resistent to change- it will cry very loudly when it is "challanged", but if you don't listen, it'll stop. Maybe both!

Yesterday I did so much exercise. But today I did very little- just 20 mins, Tai Chi, and some breathing exercises (it counts ). (Cool story bro, needs more dragons- I better say it before anyone else has the chance! GOT YOU! ). But then I was feeling it coming, so I went running. I ran longer then ever without stopping, it was 40 minutes this time, but I was so horny I went home to jack off in the middle of it. So many excuses ran through my head: "You'll get angry, etc". My rational side kinda saw some logic into that. But I also smelled some fish, deep down. I should have went with my gut! I walked home. I wasn't even tired at all, but I was dripping sweat, I was red, my face and body too! I washed my face. I took some toilet paper... I went to do it but my breathing wasn't normal yet, I felt a red flag :nervous:, so I tought "I better cool down first". In a last attempt to forget about this, I went to play a stupid game- battlefield heroes. "Good luck, you will need it", you say. IT FRIGGIN WORKED. The horniness went away after 30 minutes or so. VICTORY! NOT YET! BECAUSE THEN IT CAME BACK, HOLY COW. It overwhelmed me! ARGH! I didn't have my mates of so suave to slap me hard to make me wake up! But I had my luck with me- while I was looking at some pictures, deciding what was the best, my sister and her BF came to the house- there is a god!! Then I lost motivation to do it, they're always around the area so it's not so safe.

3 hours later I am feeling super tired, I just washed the dishes for 1 hour and it's 2:22 in the morning. I am totally alone. But I am chill- I feel great I didn't do it!

If you wanna hear details about the exercises I do or my diet ask me, pls. Started day 3. What about you guys? Let's hear your stories too! If you have comments they're more then welcome! Thanks.

day 16 going strong !

 

[Eternal_water]

Are there any health side effects to doing this?

Can the build up have harmful effects?

 

[JohnChops]

no you cant seeing how maturation is not natural it shouldnt cause any health effects. Your fine eternal , stop fapping

 

[crossedup]

Did you have these symptoms before as well?

No, I have never felt like this before. I hardly ever get sick except for the occasional cold and I just feel like sh*t right now. If you have an important job, or a big test coming up, I would actually recommend you continue to look at porn until you get a vacation, because you won't be able to focus on your work. I'm an engineer and these withdrawals are absolutely killing my performance right now. (can't do math, remember what my boss says, discuss procedure with others) f*cking sucks.

I feel f*cking dumb, which is surprisingly helping me in conversations with dumb girls

 

[Alvafe]

well from what we know, you shouçdn't fap to porn, but are free to do it with a woman, so if you need so much a realease go ahve sex , well alsmot the 2nd week i'm starting to feel more sleepy earlyer then before, possible since I keep myself busy during the day and am working out strong then ever its getting on me now, but in the morning i'm all good again, so it the 13 day and keep my will strong. and its kind strange too because I did get somewhere to get a date tomorrow so let's see how it goes

 

[AAAgent]

failed yesterday at day 19. I had the day off and i didn't keep myself pre-occupied and was sitting on the computer.

 

[Eternal_water]

I'm in day 6 and its going much better now that I'm not allowing myself to look at porn or any type of girl unless its a real life one.

May be my imagination or may be simply that she's paid too, but I was in a cafe earlier with my family and one of the waitresses kept looking at me quite obviously and smiling, like way more than her co workers.

 

[Fly By Night]

My case is kind of weird.

I feel erections coming on more easily, but they are never "full" ones. I have completely stopped watching porn, but I masturbate just for the feel of it, I never release. I only have had one case of blue balls in my life, other than that, it never happens to me. Should I just completely stop jerking it?

On a lighter note, I definitely feel more aggressive. Walked right up to a chick in the mall who was reading a book and made conversation with her. It went surprisingly well. :woo:

 

[Mr.SomeoneElse]

Alright guys..
This is starting to suck now.
These last two days have been complete ****. I have headaches, feel nauseous, really slow feeling.
Not sure if this is related to no fap or not.
I dont have any urges to fap at all, but I want to do it just to 'feel better' thats what my brain keeps thinking.

This is actually really ****ty, mood has decreased significantly, not stoked for anything ( big party this saturday ) I was looking forward to it all week, now I dont even feel like going.
Not sure what's happening, maybe this is actually the withdrawls.
I think i'm day 20 now. But yeah, this sucks donkeyd*ck.

Ya man this is withdrawals, your symptoms describe the same thing happening to me. It really f*ckin sucks. I didn't say this but I was feelin pretty awesome the first week or so like you were and now its near week 3 and all is downhill. If you care about getting through and P & M addiction you gotta push through this no matter how much it hurts. Now you know how bad this sh*t is for you.

 

[Eternal_water]

Is there any truth in lack of masturbation increasing risk of prostate cancer?

 

[flint]

Day 6. First 4 days are definitely the toughest, but today was the first day I started feeling competitive.

Some people here said they felt aggressive. I don't feel that way, I just feel like I shouldn't be wasting my time with lesser people.

 

[Alvafe]

I guess it the same for too much masturbation can hurt your prostate, also you could just google it , and remember its just to keep your hands off, you could find a girl to bust the nut

yeah man!
It's pretty messed up.

I know I said earlier that I was going to hold off on sex for 30 days.
Today I almost gave in on that.
Withdrawals suck enough, I need a release so I was texting this plate I met on the subway earlier this week ( result of No Fap Confidence btw )
And she was going to come over.

I was pretty worried about how I was going to last as long as I used to or if i'd just instantly *** like a virgin since it's been a month since ive had sex and 20 some days since i've even touched my ****.

She had a problem and wasn't ready until after the busses stopped running.
She lives like 25 minutes away from my apartment
and for SOME reason i didnt want to drive to pick her up haha.
I have no idea why, looking back on it, I had an easy lay, she knew we were going to fvck, but I just called it off.

So yeah, these withdrawals better get over fast because me last week, I would have just ran to her apartment. naked. haha.

EDIT:
Nevermind, i'm going to go pick her up now.
Since I changed my mind she's all "All we're doing is watching a movie"
Yeah... sure.
I'll let you guys know how embarrassing this turns out to be haha.

 

[Mr.SomeoneElse]

Alright guys,
Just to be clear for any of you who have concerns NoFap DOES NOT affect your stamina AT ALL.
I invited her over for a 'movie and back massage' when I shut off the lights and turned on the t.v I said "It's too bright" and she agree'd so I told her to go shut it off.
She shut off the t.v I pulled her ass into my bed and just ****ed the SH*T out of her.
We had a long ass session, it's been a month since i've touched my ****/had sex and I dont know guys, it felt like I was just the same if not better than before.
So don't be worried, just do it and ram away and give'r

Drove her home this morning, her ass is cherry red and she's super happy, convinced her to do my laundry next time she comes ( she complained about it ) and she's going to bring me a cherry cheesecake. Am I misogynistic? Nah, No fap rocks. She was happy.

 

[crossedup]

You seem to be feeling better, that's great man and I'm glad you were able to show her a fun sexy time! Looks like she can't wait to get some more!

Myself, head still hurts, tho I did get a boner this morning. The sign of better things to come? Certainly, anthing is better than this dull but constant headache. Now I just need to find some girls...
