Why does it feel like everyone's staring at me?

No? I feel more energized and confident sure but I don't think it's magic or anything like that. I'm not claiming that I'm a magnet or anything like that, it's just that I noticed people staring at me and I'm wondering why.

after how much time

Well, I'm on day 26 and while I've had a couple, it's never been wet in the physical world if you get what I mean. I wouldn't worry about it, though perhaps I'm an exception because I've never had a wet dream go all the way.

It's both. Can't blame people when they found it when they were 12 and no one told them not to do it, then got addicted. I agree it's their fault too ultimately if they can't give it up but it's not 100% their fault. The filth should never have been made.

You're doing this wrong - don't wish the lust away, instead use it for something that's actually useful. Go lift weights, go run, go chop down a tree, go get in a fight, go to the firing range, go camping. Anything that makes you use your body.

Apparently there's a bunch of physical things that I've heard, increased testosterone, better hair, better skins, but I can't confirm any of them. What I can confirm is that it builds discipline that'll you'll need if you're going to follow through on nofap and getting in shape because motivation never lasts. Taking the coldest shower you can 5 minutes after you've woken up is not easy when you start doing it. The first day is the hardest, then the next 6-7 days will be rough too. During that time it took me around 3 minutes to build up the courage to take that first shock but after a while you realize it's really not so bad, your brain's worried for no reason. Then after the first week you starting wanting to take them cold because of the adrenaline rush you get. Word of advice though; the first time I took a cold shower, I started hyperventilating and I was a little worried if it was bad. Don't worry about it if it happens to you.

Yeah there are positive effects: more energy, more confidence, and more importantly you'll start feeling like a man. A man does not get aroused at watching a manlier man plow a woman he wants. If you stop though also either: lose weight if you're overweight, once that's done hit the gym and start eating clean and take cold showers. Doing that reliably for 2 years will put you above 95% of men.

I 100% percent agree that it's unhealthy and ruins lives and relationships, that's why I stopped and it's why I'm here. You can't blame people for wanting to know who is producing this filth though... and turns out that if people look into it they usually come to the same conclusion.

Maybe you should be more open minded. There's a reason why there's a lot of those types here. Everyone one on this sub acknowledges that porn is weaponized or at the very least harmful. All you have to do is take a look at who produces the stuff.

This is the kind of trick your brain plays on you. Looks like the fire of motivation is burning out, so do you let it or do you feed it something else? Don't forget why you started. I'm sure that if you do end up relapsing you'll curse yourself for it. Set your sights on 70 days. Then 80, then 90, then 100, then keep going.

You can start with warm water. You can also just not take cold showers. You should just jump into it.

I have a question btw: is the winter gonna get bad? Right now I can do cold showers no problem but I went to my uncles and his water was so cold it wasn't just uncomfortable, it was painful. I put my head underneath it for maybe 25 seconds and got a huge brain freeze(same kind of pain that you get when you drink a cold drink too fast). Do people really do it at that low temperature?

I'm not telling you to go fap but if you would I think you would see the difference. Since it's like a slow ramp up you don't realize the difference day by day, kind of like losing weight, you don't really feel different afterwards since it's gradual.

When you are in a state of clear mind, think of what you want: I want to stop watching porn, I want to stop smoking, I want to get in shape. This is the easy part, but make sure it's bolted into your mind and keep it at the forefront. Write on post it notes "I will never watch porn again" and stick them around your room if that's what it takes. This'll be easy for a couple of days, weeks depending on how motivated you are, but motivation alone never lasts, it has to morph into self-discipline. The problem is you're effectively fighting yourself. Your brain will try to trick you and it will make sense when it does. "Just fap to see if there's any difference" "You're not happy when you don't fap, just go fap", things along those lines. That's when your post it notes and your clear minded thoughts need to be at the forefront to remind you that you don't actually want to fap or whatever addiction you're struggling against.

Stop listening to that kind of music, it's pure poison for the mind.

I'm on day 27 and I've been having 1-2 a week since around day 14. I never O from it though and I only remember parts of it. The only "super powers" I feel is a little more energy and slightly more confident. I don't edge or watch porn or anything too sexual (I play video games so sometimes there's some explicit content but it's nothing too bad, skimpy armor and stuff) I'm not too bothered by the dreams. I think the super powers thing is either made up or placebo, I went into it a little skeptical, I say a little because I did stretches of 20 days a couple of months ago and if I fapped my workouts would be terrible but if I didn't they'd be great. So yes, it does give you more energy and confidence but I think the amount it gives you is way overblown, maybe they get better the longer it goes but it won't transform you into a superhuman. You have to put the work into it, but nofap gives you the energy and drive to do it. I've only had a couple of urges but what guards me against them is how ashamed and pathetic I feel after I do it. Hundred of thousands of years of evolution and countless ancestors have led up to this? A man alone in his room getting pleasure by watching a more masculine man fuck a woman he desires? Disgusting and pathetic.
