A compilation of benefits people have noticed to No Fap Challenge
Credits to reddit
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A COMPILATION OF CHANGES, FOUND IN REPORTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE QUIT PMO FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME, THAT YOU MAY OF MAY NOT FEEL WHEN YOU UNDERGO THIS CHALLENGE. THESE ARE ALSO MAINLY THE POSITIVE CHANGES. THEY ARE, HOWEVER, GENERAL CHANGES THAT MOST PEOPLE SEE THAT YOU CAN MOST LIKELY EXPECT FROM UNDERGOING THIS CHALLENGE.
DISCLAIMER: ALTHOUGH R/NOFAP IS DIRECTED TO BOTH MEN AND WOMEN AND STRAIGHT/GAY/BI, THESE EFFECTS WILL FOCUS ON THOSE THAT STRAIGHT MEN UNDERGO. THERE MAY ALSO BE SOME THINGS THAT DO NOT APPLY TO YOU (E.G. IMPROVED GRADES IN SCHOOL), BUT THOSE HAVE AN EQUIVALENT FOR OTHERS (E.G. IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY AT WORK).
I have compiled this list mostly to convince myself of all these benefits (and wow am I now motivated to keep going) and because I will possibly one day use this to write an essay about nofap. I, however, als wanted to share this with you guys.
POSITIVE CHANGES
PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE - FEELING MORE ALIVE THAN EVER
TL;DR: nofap changes your life
EDIT: misspelled word
EDIT 2: added "Better dream recall/more vivid dreams (and possibly more positive dreams)"
NOTE: Wow, I just noticed this thread has been mentioned on YourBrainOnPorn under "What benefits do people see as they reboot?".

POSITIVE CHANGES
PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE - FEELING MORE ALIVE THAN EVER
- Increased happiness/pride/joy/confidence/calmness
- Happiness is found in simpler things (a walk, a nice meal, music)
- Experiencing more emotions, feeling less numb to life
- Loving/accepting yourself
- Taking a stand for yourself/not backing down/stating your opinion
- Increased hope, a better future always seems obtainable, no matter how difficult things get
- Less social anxiety/fear of judgement
- Initiate conversation more often
- Increased conversational skills/eye contact/smiling
- Increased vocabulary/words come to you more easily
- Feel more in touch with other people (and their emotions)
- Real women look more attractive
- More attention to interaction/physical touch than the visual
- Increased motivation to meet/talk to women (butterflies won't go away, but your sex drive will provide a counter-force to overcome them)
- Creation of a magnetic "sexual aura", a sexual energy that attracts more attention from women both known and unknown
- Feel less intimidated in the presence of an attractive woman
- Better sex (enjoying the sex itself, not just pursuing orgasm)
- Increased determination, energy and productivity (i.e. reading, writing, drawing, working out...)
- Increased quality of sleep
- Better posture/appearance (i.e. by working out + clearer skin, less acne)
- Increased athletic performance (stamina, physical strength
- Deeper/more manly voice
- (Increased vision has been reported by very few people)
- Increased clarity of mind/loss of brain fog
- Increased concentration/focus (i.e. better grades)
- Better decision making (both short- and long-term)
- Improved memory
- Less mood swings
- Better dream recall/more vivid dreams (and possibly more positive dreams)
- The urges to PMO do not go away completely, but you don't feel like acting on them anymore. You just put your energy into doing other things
- Most people undergo a flatline at some (or more) point(s) during this challenge (decreased libido)
- If you do relapse, you are way more likely to be sickened by the extremes in porn you used to find arousing
- Fantasies/old videos still pop up in your head, but it's easier to get rid of them now
- More wet/porn/masturbation dreams
TL;DR: nofap changes your life
