Honestly it’s been easy so far, but I know the tension will build. Longest I went in the past was 12 days or so. That was 2015 after Tom Brady Brady beat the falcons. I figure if he could come back from 28-3 then I could try not to fap for a bit
 I think the group solidarity is helping here. I’m very hard working but turn lazy and get into bad habits when no one is looking. When it’s a group I try to compete so this is good motivation and support. I’m surprised how easy it’s been so far. I think I’m wired for porn though unfortunately. nothing has really excited me yet but I’m looking forward to actually having urges from places other than screens. I defiantly need to replace some neural pathways. Speaking of which I still wake up and scroll my phone. Email, Instagram, stocks, crypto, Insta, twitter, arf, crypto. It’s like my newspaper. I’ve just cut out the smut section, well except some Insta thots… but I’m down on screen time and have been leaving earlier for work instead of cutting it down to the last minute. I’m also making food to bring to work the night before work and cooking more. Small Improvements. Looking forward to the next three quarters and how much I can change in that time vs what I’ve changed now. |

I agree it really helps having a place for support and an actual goal. I don't think I've ever openly talked about it to anyone. Looking forward to the one week porn/fap free milestone tomorrow

No issues here. I did have some really good dreams last night though. Is 30 days long enough to start having actual wet dreams?

Whelp, one week in and hanging/drooping/shriveled in there.
Side note, after eight months of battling cancer, its side effects and some other serious complications that makes sex an impossibility for us right now, my wife hinted that "maybe we should try soon". The fact that she even said it and is considering it is miracle enough. In which case, I'll be changing from NNN to NFN. But I commit with all you to at least be NFN. |

Welp,
No sex with the wife on Saturday night, no sex this month actually. Sometimes I'm too tired, sometimes she is. She's stay at home mom to 3 kids while I work. We're getti g ready to move soon too, so packing and all of that. I'm In the middle of a 7 day stretch of work with overtime (12 hour shifts). That's no excuse though. Gotta make the time. |

If we signed up for no fap but the wife isn't being too receptive, can we join the no nut challenge too? |

I’m in the sleep group. The sleep I’ve been getting is amazing according to Garmin. 2.5 hours deep sleep, but 5 total. Yesterday with daylight savings I woke up at 4am and was EXHAUSTED all day long. Too exhausted to fap when the wife and oldest kid went to the store, and too exhausted to deal with an extra hour of day. I did massively hit in the wife and tell her we could lock the kids in one room and do it anywhere else. Nothing uncommon for me to say, but I doubt I could have actually nutted. Seriously exhausted, but still not massive blue ball ‘cum filled nutsack’ like most people think. I’m also not having any wet dreams or dreams of girls or sexual encounters from the past….anymore than usual.
I feel sorry for those people living lives where sex was treated as so naughty. I wonder how the parents felt about sex personally, and also appreciate the balls it takes to share something so deep. |

I never told my wife I was doing no nut/fap November and just tracked how long it would take until she initiated. You might be surprised how receptive she gets if you stop doing whatever you’re doing, and wait for her. Just track it and you can see how often SHE wants sex. Perhaps in the future you can tell her you stopped jacking odd for a month and HER sex drive literally never changed. I’m sure it’s a fight you’d love to have. |

Almost a month since sex because of birth. Already having dreams. Wife did wake me up to "console" me but I was too sleepy. Wife will likely do something for release tonight or else it's gonna get nasty.

I have noticed either an uptick in sexualized ads popping up on Facebook or maybe I was numb and didn’t notice it before. I did just join a few new Overlanding and off-road groups and maybe the ads related to that are more Male-centric. Either way, day 8 and this dude still abides. |

The benefit will be that I spend a month NOT jacking my dick to porn, and not looking at porn. Sometimes self-improvement is best improvement. |

9 days in and no fap. No porn either.
Dreams are getting weird, and when I was intimate with my spouse, I had full body goose bumps. She actually commented that mens orgasms must be better than women's. I did sign up for a yoga class tomorrow. I have a really tight lumbar area of my back. I'm hoping to do a dozen or so classes and see if I can pick up enough stretching poses to do at home. Instructor is hot. And I'm guessing there will be yoga pants. |

I made the sex with wife last night. Definitely HOT and definitely felt like I ejaculated more than usual.
37 years old and probably been watching porn or downloading nudes for over two decades. Back in my day 14.4 was ghetto and 56k was where it was at. None of this 4K VR stuff today. It’s like every movie from the 80s made it out to be. |

I was gonna recommend it as well. A while back, when I was 28ish I house/dog sat for a guy who I swore had cameras and was monitoring his house while I was in it. So I stayed away from websites and didn’t tug any out for a probably 10 days or so. I had also just started yoga and was going every day like clockwork. When they came back I took a trip to the next town to visit my moped (archer reference if you know) She was fun and we fucked like crazy. She commented “did you get bigger!!?!?”  after we fucked, while very drunk to boot. I think “saving up “ and the yoga is what did it. Yoga opens up all your joints and blood vessels for increased flow. It helped my dick reach full potential. You know, like when you were in HS sitting behind the head cheerleader and got called to the chalk board kinda potential. I recommend yoga for everybody here. I guarantee your sex lives will Go next level and your woman will thank you for it 33 here. EDT: also replacing one habit with another is a successful strategy. Yoga is an absolute monster of a good habit. I’m looking at classes right now for after work. |
