For a while I thought its just a meme. I usually was masturbating at least once-twice a day. At that point I couldnt get properly hard without porn, and even then my erection was soft, mind that Im only 19. My last fap was sunday morning, now its thursday. First thing I noticed- no mood swings, also I was depressed all the time. Now I actually have motivation to work out and go to school. Next, I had pretty bad acne, now I dont get new pimples and the old ones are fading away. Last but not least, dick. Mine was small as fuck, 12 cm at best( around 4.7 inches I believe). After just those 4 days, Im getting really hard boners, and my dick grew 1cm, probably by increased blood flow. Almost forgot, I am not that anxious or sweating all the time, I am not tired after waking up. Im not looking for an advice, Im giving it to you. If you want, at least try nofap.

Yes, masturbation and porn addiction is a curse.
Keep going at it.
>>16926373
you discovered at 19 what I discovered at 22. you're lucky and good luck on your road to recovery
Thats good.
I failed on my second month.
But Now i have forgotten the fap

I masturbated at least once a day, every day, for over 30 years and never had a problem. Still do it 2 or 3 times per week.
I was never a big porn consumer so I think the whole no-fap thing is about cutting back on porn and forming proper socio-pycho-sexual relationships rather than cutting back on dick stroking.

Thanks guys.

After two monts, how was your erection? Was it hard or soft? Because it seems that I have developed a condition, where I cant pump my entire dick with blood. Will it be okay?
>>16926458
OP again, and you are right, but for now Im just unable to get hard without porn.

Nofap is for loveless morons.
No one that can hold a relationship has the option of not ejaculating because normal, modern relationships involve sex and ejaculation.
By accepting nofap, you accept that you could not possibly be in a relationship with someone.
When I don't have a gf, I jerk off every day until I do get a gf. Then I get a gf. I jerk off or fuck just about every day of my life, and I'm doing just fine. Just got a promotion at work and now will be managing my own team, so clearly confidence isn't an issue.
I can overhead press 135+lbs, bench press 225+lbs, squat 315+lbs, and can deadlift 335lbs (yeah, I know my deadlift is slacking), my blood pressure is 111/58, and my heart beats 51 times a minute, so clearly rubbing one out every day hasn't affected my health.
Acne? My skin is clearer than ever once I stopped drinking milk. Look it up. Jerking off had nothing to do with it.
Seriously, jerking off and having a shit life is completely in your head. 100%. Only 4chan and now reddit (because of 4channers) thinks like this. I'm 28 by the way. You kids need to grow the hell up. It really makes me cringe when I see people endorse nofap.

Theres nothing wrong with self control and not wanting to embrace an hedonistic nature.
Other than that, you sound like a man with a lot to prove, seeing how quick you are to rub in our faces your accomplishments.
Perphaps your problem is not masturbation but something else? Who knows, only you.

No, my point in mentioning my meager accomplishments (that are important to me, not you, so no I wasn't trying to brag), is that jerking off won't turn you into the homeless, retarded, pedophile you morons seem to think it is. If you feel like I "rubbed my accomplishments in your face", then it seems like you took unwarranted offense to it, so that really says something about you. You shouldn't get mad just because someone talks about their life. You are probably missing something in yours if someone elses happiness - which in now way affects you - somehow makes you upset.
>Theres nothing wrong with self control and not wanting to embrace an hedonistic nature.
If you want to look at it in that extreme of a way. I just look at it as jerking off. For me there's no downside, so why not? Sorry you feel so ashamed of giving yourself a little bit of simple pleasure.
Okay, Op here, why did my thread turned into a debate?
>>16926782
Jerking off isnt bad, but I got addicted to it and it made my life shitty by changing my mood, lowering self esteem etc. etc. There is nothing wrong if you are doing it and feeling alright, but especially porn addiction can fuck tou up.
>>16926373
Or, you could just have sex.
>>16926500
this.
>>16926828
Understandable. Addiction to anything is usually negative. I can understand noporn, but nofap is 100% placebo. All in your head. Any biological difference it makes is not substantial enough to be manifest an impactful difference on your actual life - people just think it is.
