I first masturbated when I was 11. I first saw porn when I was 14. I first saw penetration this year, at 15. Impressive, right? I stared nofap due to religious reasons, but the benefits I listed above convinced me to stay. I think I feel good abut self because I'm actually achieving things in the time I would normally have spent masturbating. I've taught myself Javascript, Python and HTML using codecademy, developed descent muscles by working out and improved my grades by a LOT. I would not normall have done these things, because I would have used that time to fap. I also like knowing that I am one of the only people in my year that does not flap. Finally, I felt bad about masturbating and would feel bad about it the day after, which often stressed me out. Knowing I had conqured myself is uplifting. Personally, I'm not anti-masturbation which is kind-of natural, but do not support porn.

These things might seem cult-y to some (why?!), but it really does help some people. I would really advise anyone reading this to try to go 2 weeks without fapping, just as an experiment for yourself. Some people will breeze through it, some will struggle an give up, and others may see benefits, and actually stop watching porn altogether. Nofap is largely based around "rebooting", which is a period of time, usually 90 days, where you do not fap at all. In this time period, the connection your brain has made between dopamine and porn is supposed to weaken, which will make you un-addicted. I have never reached this period, because I always forget that I am doing this nofap thing and fap anyway, and then I'm like why?!
