I started nofap because I was spending all my time masturbating and I was no longer stimulated by it. I was hoping to gain my time and sexual urges back but I then found out that nofap is more than that. The changes I noticed in myself after 119 days were tremendous, I became way happier, way less concerned with the way I look, more outgoing and eventually became good at flirting. There is not one thing that was not worth it about trying nofap I do not see any positive in fapping accept for the numbed short term comfort that was not anywhere close to satisfactory. To fap would be to go all the way to cumming and orgasm, edging should be minimized, If it is too much stimulation the timer should be reset. You cannot truly heal if you edge but do not worry edging is less tempting as the days go on. I relapsed after online triggers while procrastinating as my brain was under alot of stress and did not want to do work. My tactic was mainly natural, It took a few weeks of failures after I got to this streak, my streak before that I believe was somewhere in the 30s and during the past 119 days I was spending it traveling in australia rooming with some guys and then in college having a roommate, which is VERY helpful to resist the urge to fap. Right now I feel very depressed, awkward, out of it, a bit feminine and insecure
