No-Porn Forever - are you a bad enough dude to reboot?
1,078 replies, posted
It has now been 7 days since I've looked at porn and 5 since I've last fapped.
I do think I have gotten a feeling of shame from fapping, I am now able to hold eye-contact for a normal period of time without trying; I used to look down or away or used to need to consciously do it, now not so much.
Real life girls seem to attract me more and more each day.
Now this has been only a short while so this is probably placebo, but I do not care about the way these effects are delivered, I care about the effects them self.
As long as there are no hard studies proving or disproving it I'll be happy to not watch porn and fap less frequently.
[B]Reread this: if you exchange not watching porn with "I've accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and saviour" I'd totally rage the fuck out reading this.[/B]
Goddamn, I failed and fapped today.
I hope it won't happen next time.
Yeah I did too, it's probably because it is in small font at the bottom.
Been watching porn for 10 years now.. Count me in!
Doctors informed me I have [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epididymitis[/url] [NSFW] so i'm kind of in too much discomfort to be looking at porn, so this will be the start of my reboot. Yay!
Rofl sorry to burst your bubble fellas but I haven't looked at porn in around a year and it doesn't change shit. If you're looking for a great new self help scheme this isn't it.
My reasons are my own.

Good for you.

Hilarious and witty comeback, you totally smashed my weak attempt at self glory.
I'm not trying to put myself on a pedestal idiot I'm saying this shit may not do anything for you and could be a waste of time.
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;35742915]You can fap.
How many times will someone ignore this.[/QUOTE]
I fapped to porn. Also, i did set no-fap as my goal, because I was doing it more often then should.
for some reason i fapped in my sleep subconsciously but i havent felt the need for arousal or jacking off like i did before
i guess this is working?
Is it too late to join?
Been 2 weeks now, I've had the moments where i really want to, but manage to retain myself.
Might be the reason im happier, or the fact that im celebrating russ here in norway, which includes large ammount of alchohol over a large timespan, with a broad ammount of different people.

No you wrote It [I]will[/I] not do anything for you, not that it [I]might not[/I] do anything for you; that's quite a difference; you put it off as if we're idiots for trying this, you have the right to feel that way but if you're going to post it you might want to do it more constructively ("Hey guys! I have been doing this for a year and I haven't felt any changes, just putting that out there.").
I totally get where you're coming from though and I apologize for my comment.

I will also apologise, I could have phrased that better.
But I haven't been doing [I]this[/I] for a year, me not looking at porn is totally unrelated to the reason people in this thread are trying to do it, I didn't even know people were doing this. I haven't felt any psychological improvements or differences at all as a result is what I mean. I.e. before I stopped I had little motivation, and no erectile dysfunction. After stopping, my motivation levels have not improved and obviously I haven't developed erectile dysfunction. My confidence is the same, as is how I think, my levels of energy and whatever else the OP has listed as 'pros'.
tl;dr: shit didn't change, my life is as enjoyable as it was before
This must be why I have erectile dysfunction. Shit.
Like everything, fapping should be in moderation. You can't just quit fapping, or you're sexual urges will never be satisfied. Cleaning out your pipes is actually proven to be healthy for you as well as for your self confidence, but if you do it too much (like 4 times a day), you'll still be healthy but then you'll be an antisocial person that girls just don't wanna be around with and you'll get a damn boner every 5 minutes... So the key word, "MODERATION"
This is easy, three days so far!

You're like the fifth person to overlook that this isn't about purely fapping
im starting this, but with moderation for now.

Then do it, who is stopping you?
[QUOTE=Mr. Creeper;35756393]Then do it, who is stopping you?[/QUOTE]
His right hand.

You can still masturbate, just without the porn.
Failed after 7 days, didn't use porn though. I'm guessing once a week is good enough moderation, not using porn.
[QUOTE=crackberry;35759978]Failed after 7 days, didn't use porn though[/QUOTE]
then you didn't fail
Sign me off the list, I thought about it and determined that A: I saw absolutely zero positive side effects during the time without fapping. All that happened was I was quite a bit hornier B: I've decided that porn does not negatively effect me. I've seen no flaws to it in my life so far, and tried this as a chance to maybe see if there's something better. I don't think there is for me.
Finally busted one out after 8 days. I've revised my goal instead to keep it down to once every 8 days, without porn, to maximize my testosterone level gain and reboot every time.
Sign me up, OP
Well..
I guess I'm in after tonight.. I seriously need to change something in my life.
whether it be big or small.
mainly big.
I masturbated yesterday, it feels so pointless without porn.
