    Thankfully one day while searching for porn I assume, I stumbled upon this thing called "NoFap." I always knew that PMO wasn't really good for you but I figured everyone did it, but when I found this site, I was blown away. Over 200,000 peop-fapstronauts, all with same courageous goal; beat porn.

    But beating porn isn't simple. It isn't easy by any means. Most people who masturbate would never even consider such a deranged idea. I don't blame them really. It was once said "if you live easily, your life will be hard, but if you live hard (lol), your life will be easy." It is so encouraging to know that if you slip up, we have your back.

    NoFap has the potential to transform your life. It sounds cliché but it's true. We all know what the benefits are (at least short-term) for not PMOing. More confidence, higher testosterone, more energy, less acne, deeper voice, etc., etc.
    ...and yet you still consider beating your meat when you get the urge. Beating an addiction, of any sort, greatly improves your quality of life. You can enjoy the little things again, like Christmas music and birds' chirping.

    Maybe you are on the verge of relapsing. Let me tell you one thing: how would you like to start over again at 0 days, 0 hours? It is worth it? Throw away all of your hard work, new energy, and other benefits, for a couple minutes of "pleasure"? It's such a joke, really. You know right after you relapse, you're going to be hit with reality; you're going to have to reset your counter. All jokes aside, resetting your counter is super annoying.

    When you get that little urge, what are you going to do? Sit back in your chair, pull up PornHub, and just edge? Yeah, keep lying to yourself. If you are really devoted to NoFap, why would you put yourself into that situation in the first place? When you get the urge, how about make a list of all of the benefits you have had because of NoFap? Go on a quick 20 minute walk. Go on the NoFap forums. Test how many pushups you can do.

    My biggest tip to not PMO, is to not edge. Every single time I relapse, I had edged right before. If you can resist the urge to even just touch your penore (pronounced "pee`nore"), then there is way for you to reach orgasm. If you can resist the urge to go onto your computer when you have the intent to search for porn, then how are you going to be able to watch PornHub? The answer is you can't.
     
  2. I know dude, I feel the temptation right now. Even though I know how shitty I'll feel if I relapse, I'm still thinking of it. It's insane. I'm just sitting at the house and old habits die hard. My brain is telling me "fuck it, go PMO," but if I do, I'll feel so goddamn bad and so depressed. It's hard to resist, but it's worth it. As far as benefits go, I do feel better, but I honestly don't feel great. I mean, I feel more confident, but I still feel a little depressed. It will take a while for my brain to rewire itself.

    It is insane. Our brains take a while to rewire themselves, but each and every day that you're clean, you become stronger and that is important to remember. NoFap can't fix everything but it definitely makes our problems more approachable.
     
  4. Hell yeah. It feels pretty good to be 9 days in, but it's still hard to resist the temptation. The furthest I've went is 13 days. I'm on the 14 day challenge now, so we'll see how it goes. :cool:

    I almost relapsed a little while ago, then I read this post. I decided to meditate and I feel better now. Thank you.
     
  7. Apparently I can't, because I just relapsed. You ain't the only one man, you ain't the only one. It fucking sucks, but I guess I'm just gonna ride with it. :(

    gee up and start all over again. You cannot fail, I repeat you cannot fail. You are a looser and a quitter and that is every reason why you should not fail. Think about yourself, your children and your family, are you making them happy or proud by fooling with yourself shamefully? Get up and quit fooling around. Be the man that you want to be. Be the man that you wish to be, seize the day and walk away with a huge explosion behind you.

    Shit. Bad streak here brother, but allow me to say something. I was dead close to a relapse 10 minutes ago. I had my dick IN MY HAND and good lord i had to scream it down in my head. But anyways, the effects still lingered on.... right up until i read your post. Deep inside, it just reminded me what a relapse really felt like so thank you for that. THANK YOU. I'm on day 4 because of you, so allow me to give you a small piece of advice: help yourself. How? Next time u get the urge, read this thread and read the SHIT you went through after that relapse. God knows it scared my dick limp and there is no reason it won't do the same 4 u. But once again, THANK YOU bro. :D

    Exactly like you say man , you feel a little depressed but it doesn't matter does it ? What matter is the fact that you are healing you are getting better ,its like beating a disease that was there forever and your brain is like "wtf is happening right now" but yeah like you say it is rewiring itself , time heal all wounds
     
  16. Hahaha, I'm glad to help. I'll try that next time I'm feeling an urge. I'll come on here and read some posts to remind me that it's not fucking worth it. I'm feeling the effects of relapse, but I'm trying to stay strong. Good luck with your streak man.

  17. It makes you wonder if NoFap is even working, but it obviously is. It gets better the longer you go.

    thank you. i was really struggling just now to not look at porn, matter of fact i did for few seconds, and even touched myself. i was really worried i might break there for a minute and came here for some inspiration. the video on this guys home page is fucking hilarious and actually really inspiring. i think this will carry me through the day. i'm going to get back on my inspiration/knowledge kick from now on. got to get my head right. I'm dealing with some major depression and anxiety and i was looking to get some pleasure in my life. Not anymore:) i can get pleasure another way.

    haha yeah he's kinda intense and there are some things he says I dont agree with but thats what makes it funny to me, and overall definitely inspiring! watching his vidos when I had urges instead of going to my regular porn websites has helped me before a lot to be honest. there are also some others nofap vloggers that have some interesting videos to watch for inspiration too
