Any one tried NoFap Hardmode?

no wonder you are so popular you really care for our well being

I tried all that stuff once (no porn no masturbation for long periods) and it is true that when you finally have sex, it is better. Better erections, better climaxes,...but to go long periods is just not worth the ''pain''.

A better approach is frequency reduction. You have to find the right balance. Just do the porn and/or fapping less often (like every 2 days instead of everyday) and already that makes a big difference.

You are so spot on with this, "but to go long periods is just not worth the ''pain''". Today, I am finding myself spending pretty much the whole day on this forum, as a way to distract myself and cope with my urges to pull up a video of a cute young chick and jerk off to her.

As you may have read, I've only begun my no-fap journey recently. For the past 20 years since I was 15, the only days I would go without porn and masturbation was if I was somewhere I couldn't. For example a weekend trip to a chalet.
I think of the few relationships I've had, and have never had true romantic sex, as I've masturbated to porn within 24 hours before. Even when I had a partner living with me, I would secretly watch porn and masturbate every morning in the bathroom before my shower.

With my recent no-fap, I've learned that if I were to date again and have a next partner, I'd know to control my urges, to prioritize having a great time with her, and giving her what she deserves.

That said, I'm still single. In the past 2 months, I've gone on a 19 day streak, a 10 day streak, a 5 day streak, and right now at 4 and aiming for 11 when I expect to see an SP "friend".
I feel that after this, I'm going to be too deprived of porn, and am going to jerk off to porn multiple times a day for a couple days to feel like I've "caught up".

I don't think it is realistic for me to stop watching porn entirely, as much as I understand that would be the best thing for me. I am just too obsessed with pretty young women and pleasuring myself to them.
However, instead of going on these long streaks, I'm at a stage of needing to find the right balance.
I like the idea of perhaps trying to start with every 2 days, and transitioning to 2 times a week. But with the ability to control myself and when needed, go on a longer streak to better enjoy a session with an SP, or a real partner.

Has anyone tried the "No Nut November" challenge?

I don’t get these stupid challenges ... it pretty much started with the ice bucket but at least the it was for a good cause. Since, a certain generation started eating tide pods, then put condoms in their noses.., now it’s no fap, no nut, drink Sprite till you barf and list is now endless ... what the fuck is this all about ???

Maybe we should try no nut 2026.

Whatever it is called, "challenge" or not, going for a month at any time of the year would be a goal of mine to try.
Hopefully I can find better balance with my porn & masturbation habits.

And if that settles, I'll have a goal in mind at the end of a month. I'm thinking: lying comfortably on my terrace couch on a sunny day, my balls exposed to the sun. Receiving a very slow BBBJ + BLS, with a lot of tongue swirling action, and finishing in her mouth. The large volume of my cum accumulates in her mouth that I can feel my entire cock swimming in it while she plays with my balls. That would be something to worth being patient for and to look forward to.

Just ended a 22 day streak and unloaded myself in an SP "friend" mouth. On camera film she spilled it out afterwards so we could see big the load was, I was impressed with myself.
Ever since, I've fallen into watching porn and masturbating the last 3 days in a row now, on one day 4 times. Today I will treat myself one more time.

My goal is to now find balance starting tomorrow, I think I will start with fapping to porn every other day, with a goal of once a week to porn, and once a week to no visuals.

I did 90 days last year as a challenge to myself. It was an interesting experience. I didn't fully lapse at any time, but I did look every once in awhile. I just wanted to see some beauty. It's like yearning for a sunny day in the middle of a gray winter.

In the end, my orgasms did not get any better. But I think like eating oatmeal for a month, your body is starved for dopamine, so even a tiny bit of sweets tastes good when you finally get it.

I realized one of the dangers of masturbation is it possesses your imagination, distracts you, makes you idle.

Another interesting experience I had is that I felt loneliness more often. I'm guessing porn and jerking off gave my body some kind of subliminal (but false) signal that I had a companion.

My sleep slightly improved and my memory did too. Sometimes I wake up horny and yield to the urge to jerk off, but since I was on no fap, that was not an option, and I forced myself to go back to sleep.

I think my sexual appetite declined a bit. I don't consume porn as often, nor see SWs now. It's kind of a mixed bag.

I imagine it's like being a fat man who loooved mozarella sticks, you go on a diet, learn to eat healthy, and those mozarella sticks no longer give you the same pleasure, and you're healthier.

But you only live once, and now your life is absent of that dopamine hit you used to get from sitting in front of a giant basket of mozarella sticks.

Free online porn is one of the great evils of our modern era and it should be banned. It is one of the many elements that feeds the male loneliness/mental health crisis. There is simply no need for it and its destructive effects are too large.
