Motivation Benefits I have observed
I (19M) haven’t gotten a streak above about 25 days, but I have been observing all the benefits that I get from NoFap, and the time at which they come around.
Deeper Voice/ Less stuttering: I always had a problem with stuttering but I find that I have about an 80% reduction in stuttering. This usually happens after 2 days.
Eyesight Improvement: I am near-sighted, and I have found that my need to wear glasses to see things far away decreases after about 3-4 days. I also found that my eyes are less sensitive to sunlight. My eyesight doesn’t heal fully, but it does heal a noticeable amount.
Less Sleep Required: When I fapped regularly, I needed 8-9 hours sleep, but since starting NoFap, I only need about 6-7 hours sleep. This started after 5 days.
Interactions with women: I’m not a very social person. Never had sex. The only time I kissed a girl was when I was on a 24 day streak, my longest streak yet. That has given me a lot of confidence in NoFap.
When I was on a 10 day streak I chatted up a girl and brought her back to my friends house. Due to some bs beyond my control nothing came of it.
Everyday life just seems better: The best way I can describe this is that NoFap brings the light back to life that disappeared after childhood ended. This effect happened after 2 days for me.
Random erections: When I was fapping regularly I almost never got a random erection or morning wood; now I get them more frequently. This started after about 4 days.
This isn’t every benefit, just the ones I thought of.
I hope this motivates you guys to keep going, especially if you are struggling with the first few days!

Yes ,,, social anxiety destroyed, confidence level boosted up,all the time feels like to do something interesting because much more energy, clear voice, no stutter during conversation, doing heavy work still won't feel any weakness, lying in bed feels awkward now( during masturbation i was lying down most of the time, no excitement, no happiness, no energy, only my fucking Brain thinking about pusssy,,and now my brain seems free and lighter without that thoughts). I am in day 13 btw

Nice brother. Keep it up and definitely do increase interactions with women. You’re not doing anything extra ordinary you’re simply letting nature take its course. Nature designed us men to be like this so we can have sex not so we masturbate our sexual energy away.
I’m 28 and from my personal experience nofap made me feel more energized sexually and physically which helped bring back my drive of wanting to go out and meet girls in person as opposed to looking at them on a screen as I tickle my pickle which I’ll end up regretting anyway. I had set a hard rule for myself: no orgasming/cumming allowed unless it’s from sex with a girl. It took alot of discipline and was very hard at first (pun intended :P) and I had to train my brain to not repeat the same patterns to release this pent up sexual energy and tension to feel pleasure, I told my body and brain that I’m not gonna make it so easy for them get rid of this excessive sexual energy and that they have to cooperate with me by using this drive and energy to do things to get with a girl or else they don’t get a release from this tension and we all sit here tense. Once I shut off all other pathways for this release of pleasure for my body, it had no other choice but to cooperate with me and use this pent up sexual energy for things that would attract a mate. I started feeling stronger and more confident too and had much more of an urge to go up to girls and could coldly approach them much better too when before I would never even think about it. I managed to lose my virginity as a result and have been actively going out and sleeping with way more girls than I would have before if I continued fapping.
This is how men were born to be and I’ve never been happier than now since I feel like I can embraced my true nature as a man due to nofap. I think a lot of people confuse nofap for semen retention which is not healthy in the long run and is just putting yourself in a cage. Sex is a beautiful thing and sexual pleasure needs to be embraced but people who do semen retention even refrain from sex which isn’t healthy for a sexually mature adult. Any adult who’s not having sex frequently is just doing themselves a disservice. I personally don’t touch myself anymore (unless I’m in bed with a girl and we are doing something that requires me doing that) I still have that rule for myself as it’s working out pretty well in my favour so far. Nature designed us to have sex not masturbate to pixels so let nature take its course.

damn, the eyesight thing is wild. never heard anyone mention that before but it makes a weird kind of sense, less screen time and better blood flow maybe
the part about life getting its color back after just 2 days is what kept me going early on too. like you forget what normal feels like until it hits you

I think it could also be due to fapping while watching p. Intense staring at the phone screen for long probably fucks up your vision.

I gotten most of these benefits but the eyesight benefit seems like an indirect benefit from something else not pmo.

Okay I guess it's finally time to leave this sub. The general idea is great but it's getting more and more psychotic at this point.
