Even if you think you don't experience any of these symptoms, just try it! Test your willpower... It won't harm you. But may make you agitated!

Rules:

P.S. It's not a problem if you accidentally bump into something that triggers you. If so, just click away.

what about regular sexual contacts? or your challenge is only for jerking off boys?

If you have problems with regular sexual contacts, you can take this challenge too (NoPMO + NoSex for ya). But yeah, you can take the challenge and having sex. The main culprit here is porn. I would call it NoPorn challenge but it's not as popular as NoFap.

EDIT: if you have regular sex, you probably don't need to take this challenge.

... why?

[Xrayez]

... why?

If you can't get it up to the real partner because you watch too much porn, it will cure porn-induced erectile dysfunction.
If you have mild social anxiety or anxiety in general, it may cure it.
If you have concentration problems, it could fix this.

Masturbating is totally ok, as you say, you can do it everyday xD

It just happens that masturbation is heavily associated with porn and the novelty it delivers. So taking a break from both activities is beneficial. Think about it as fasting. You need to upregulate dopamine receptors in your brain.

Each click and flick surges dopamine that releases at never-ending novelty. This is why it's so compelling. It's not mere nudity. What happens is that your neural pathways become sensitized to porn, while other pathways (walking in the park) become desensitized so this activity seems boring compared to porn.

I dunno if you're addicted or not. You could take a test: try masturbate without porn or recalling porn. If it's impossible for you, you're most likely addicted. But even if you're not addicted, you can still experience negative effects of using porn. It depends on your age too. I grew up on internet porn. It's far more detrimental for youngsters. You never know unless you try.

If there will be no participants, I will switch this challenge to just NoPorn...

did you give your account to impo ? 

[ANO]

I live with my gf, I have sex, I watch porn, actually I do LOVE porn, I could not live without that. For me, porn has the same value that a good Pizza or a good Spaghetti has. I don't see the sense to disturb my porn receptors in my brain and in my balls. Porn is an art.

Is impo interested in this stuff? Ah, I see, science xD

You could at least TRY and prove me wrong
But ok, no problem for you then. Peace (C)

Ae, welcome mate.

These effects can last for 2 days in this challenge, or longer, but then you might fall into flatline (depression, insomnia, no libido). There's a proper reboot period (around 30-90 days), but I don't want to make it extreme here.
