I am a 21 year old kissless virgin wizard apprentice. I have been doing NoFap for a little over a week and I want to describe some changes I've been going through:
I started NoFap because I read that it makes you more sociable. Being the melancholic faggot that I was, I decided to give it a try in hopes that it would magically make me find a girlfriend.
This was bordering on pseudoscience, but I decided to give it a shot since there was nothing else I could do.
The first 4 days or so were some of my worst. I was severely depressed. On the 3rd and 4th day, I spent hours fantasizing about killing myself. I felt especially depressed by how everyone could find a gf but I am too socially inept to find one, and I found comfort only in knowing that through suicide I could escape this life. These days were not just dull sadness like most days; they were agony.
But after I got to day 6, something changed. Girls didn't magically flock to me like I hoped they would. But that doesn't bother me.
For the past 3 days (I am on day 9 right now) I no longer am depressed about being a "hopeless" virgin. I don't even have a sex drive anymore. I don't even "fall in love" as severely with "cute faces" anymore. Women don't look that pretty to me anymore. My sex drive is DEAD, and my heart doesn't sink as much when I see attractive women. It's like I have been castrated. It is now within my willpower to block all thoughts concerning women out of my head. It feels so liberating.
In the NoFap community, this loss of libido is known as "flatlining". I really hope this loss of libido will continue for me permanently.
This has cured my immense sadness. I now feel just like I did when I was 12 years old - full of optimism and I have more of a desire to learn. I've been studying for my classes all day, and everything really "clicks". Learning is fun again.
I don't know if it really made me smarter, or if I am just feeling this way because with the distraction of succubi gone, I am able to focus on more important things.
BTW, in case you are wondering, the pic is of a girl who used to be in my class in the 5th grade that I used to have a crush on. Look how disgusting she looks today. The pic is a reminder that all looks fade, and half your income is a ridiculous price to pay for a companion who temporarily has a pretty face.
Side note: One interesting thing I have noticed while on NoFap is that caffeine seems more potent to me now. I used to need 200mg of caffeine to avoid a severe headache, and 400mg for any energy. I went two days with only drinking small amounts of tea (~50mg), and I had no headache and I was able to stay focused.
