I also recently started to try out NoFap(Day 6 now). It has quite a big community on Reddit (300+k subs) and I always wanted to at least try it out but never thought I had the willpower. It will be interesting to see if there is any truth to all the claims on reddit about it...
I've come across the NoFap folks a couple of years ago and I have some mixed feelings about them. The positive is that they try to help those who have the addiction to porn, but I have to tell you your BS detector will go nuts :-)
If you were to believe the 99% of the claims made there, not fapping will make you handsome, decisive, lovable, rich, and famous leader of men...
If you have a porn addiction, getting it under control is admirable, but the claims about the benefits of nofap are wildly exaggerated, to say the least.
I woudn't say I have a porn addiction, it's just a bad habbit I see similar to junk food (cheat reward system stimulation). The science is quite clear when it comes down to porn, so I like to get to a point where I just don't ever feel the need to watch it anymore similar to the food. The claims they make on NoFap indeed are ridicoulous, but I'm just trying it out for a while just to see myself if it makes any difference. I'll make sure to report on it :p
Porn and video games are quite good at mimicking the real thing. Porn as a surrogate for sex, and the video games as a surrogate for the real-life action and adventure.
I've never had a problem with porn, I'll watch it but I don't have a need to do it. Months can pass without it even crossing my mind to watch some. On the other hand, the video games... Spending 48hr with no sleep killing monsters or building empires was not that an unusual thing for me to do.
I quit it once I've realized that instead of building the real world around me the way I want it to be, I'm indulging in the fantasy of me doing so.
Porn will dull your need for sex, the games will dull your ambitions. At least they did it for me.
