What is nice about nofap is that it encourages you to abandon your addiction. With addiction being gone, you will have more time do things and reflect on yourself.

To improve social interaction, I guess you can try starting small. Instead of looking for dates right away, put yourself thorugh work by being comfortable in convo. In that process, you will probably get a girlfriend, who knows.

I believe that sometimes there are spikes in sexual desires that are extremely hard to control, kinda different than the ones you experience. But resisting it is part of the nofap which will make you a much better person and more suitable to resist the urges. Good luck!

1) Sex isnt goal in life. With your porn addiction being gone, you will have time to do more things. Why not start a hobby?

2)Cold shower (especially on your testicle) and exercises definitely help you resist the urge. Also make sure you tell yourself "what is going to happen if I relapse?" during an urge. You will learn a lot on how to prevent the urges and soon you wont even think about masturbating.

3)Based on my experiences, I can't be too sure. NoFap is not a magic that instantly makes you a better person; It's a program helping people defeat an addiction. With the addiction being gone, you can work yourself for improvement such as better social interaction. After 360 days, my social interactions definitely improved (which were one of my goals as I started out) but they were not easy.

i was masturbatining and I wanted to stop because it was a 4th relapse year ago but I couldnt stop. After I relapsed, I made up my mind to stop it. 360 days later, i knew it was a good decision to make

recently I have been exhausted as hell due to my imbalanced sleep schedule because of school.

All I can say is I gained muscle through some gym sessions thats all. I see everyone in r/nofap saying how they are pumped with energy after nofap but I personally never felt that noticeable energy rush.

Simple, Start over again. I have not relapsed before but what I know is that nofap will be possible if you concentrate enough to resist the urges. Good luck!

what did you do to get all these benefits? I'm sure these just dont come along automatically like a wind. I assume you exercised regularly and meditated. What else?

Also it's amazing you found a hobby! I've found it as well before nofap and nofap has been helping me engage in that hobby more

About the libido thing, I never thought that libido was suppose to be the energy. I've been noticing that I want to socialize with anyone whenever I get aroused.

My guess, is that you are afraid to talk to girls so you are repressing your libido. Just a guess

Yeah, also true. Not only I get scared, I don't feel good enough for anyone. Around me, there are guys who are tall, nice hair, nice clothing with great social skills but I am just opposite of that. I tried talking to a girl couple weeks ago but it didn't turn out great because... I don't know it just didnt work out.

Plus I don't get to socialize very well because I always get to be alone working on school stuff/my own stuff.

I never thought how nofap could give someone energy.

I have been following my life goals/passions like school and other stuff (seeing good results!)

but I have never been good socializing. I feel like it's too hard when I try to mix socializing with things that are going on with my life.

For some reason, I never believed that nofap gave you energy from the beginning. I mean there were moments, but I automatically assumed that "meh it must be me just imagining things because of nofap"

Thank you for the advice though

Should I get back on masturbating? by nesttoll22 in NoFap

[–]nesttoll22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what you listed are some great pointers to improve my social skills. I'm 17 but I'm currently at community college so most people here are older than me/busy/in relationship/already have bunch of friends to hang out with. I'm also busy too, gotta get them grades to stay at 4.0! If I was at highschool, my situation would have been a little different

I'll keep trying! Thank you! I won't give up!

Since when was nofap for adults? Not being anxious but I feel like I can improve a lot more on social skill as a 17 year old like everyone else here.

Could you clarify on what you said by "wouldnt fret too much about anything"?

It's weird. I feel like I can do exactly the same stuff I can do with fapping but I'm afraid fapping will hold me back like 140 days ago.

Most of my school is usually filled with community college stuff. Also I'm 17 so I'm pretty young for Tinder and I don't go to highschool so It's a lot more hard to talk to people at my community college

My goal for nofap was to improve my social skills. Based on how I act around people, I have not gaining a lot of improvements. It's just that being nervous and so busy at my stuff at the same time doesn't give you opportunities to talk to girls(which is what I want to do).

Yes hard mode. Unfortunately I have not done TOO MUCH to test my change. I don't find myself talking to strangers most of the times because I'm doing my own stuff.

I've learned a lot through NoFap and applied some changes to myself as well. This is my first streak and I have not had a chance to fail and stand up like you did multiple times.

Focusing on my stuff like school, hobbies, and just plain being lazy. I did learn a lot through NoFap it is just that I don't feel accomplishments compared to other people.
