Just sharing my experience of no fap.
Today is officially day #20 of no porn induced ejaculations.
My initial goal was to abstain from porn for 1 month but after 20 days, I feel that porn is simply not a worthwhile part of my life. I've realized it zapped my time, motivation, energy and libido. The latter being the final straw.
Backstory - (Two sentences removed by LPSG due to violation of rules) ... It's been with me through dating relationships and marriages. I never thought that it was such a bad habit but when a habit begins to take up more and more of my time, energy and thoughts, it's clear that I had an addiction on my hands (no pun intended).
Unwelcome changes - After a failed marriage (which I don't primarily attribute to porn use as we did watch it together, i'm sure it didn't help) and feeling lost, lonely and depressed I knew my life need some profound changes. I evaluated what mattered most to me and how I was spending my time. It became clear that porn needed to be eliminated. I also began experiencing erectile dysfunction during sex. This was not acceptable.
Today - After 20 days of no porn, I feel proud that I've been able to abstain for longer than I can ever recall going without porn use. Ideally, according to other forums on this topic, having no ejaculations may facilitate the recovery process and manifest benefits quicker but I have had sex during these 20 porn-free days. The great thing is, I haven't had any issues with weak or lost erections. And it's the physical and mental connection with my partner that turns me on, not the fantasy of sex - REAL SEX. The sex has been great! I don't have a huge package but my girth is my saving grace at 6.5" and my erections have been rock hard since stopping porn. On our last sexual encounter, my partner said that my penis is huge. I asked her to say it again after she screamed it out the first time and afterward she she said, "I can't be the first girl to tell you that" with a grin of satisfaction.
Future - I may slip along the way but add me to the growing list of males that are embarking on this life-changing journey. I know there will be those that say porn in moderation is fine. The same can be said for alcohol, just not for an alcoholic. This is my story and I hope this can inspire someone to try it. Feel free to share your story, comment or ask questions.
