What was the main thing that made you do nofap/pornfree?

For me i'm "tired": breaking my promise to God(I promise him April 20/16 that I would try harder to stop masturbating and looking at porn), lieing or making excuses to everybody y I'm single(I don't believe that a person that is viewing porn should be in a relationship), of cleaning myself up after doing the deed, tires of putting up a front letting people know I'm ok but I'm not in the inside, tired of being unconfident, tired of low self esteem, tired of being negative, tired of being doubtful.....simply put I'm exhausted.

So I can have a better relationship with God...so I can have a wide and family...etc

 

Im quit porn and mastrubation because is unhealthly. Losing a lot of time spending watching stupid video and fapping. Choosing to change my life, for better.

 

Yes. For me it was because I was in a (great !) relationship that I decided to quit porn. I tried to quit before. My main motivation was to get rid of the shame and self disgust. Now I also have religious purpose (deadly sin...).

Your story makes sens for me @skaterdrew. Once your main issues are gone, you have less reasons to abstain. Of course its stupid to go back to porn but your brain thinks it can have both health and porn... You have to convince yourself it's false. You can try to find a good reason for each day. For instance : "Today I won't PMO because my parents wouldn't be proud if they knew." It may sounds stupid but I find it efficient. One day, one good reason not to PMO !

 

Glad that you have a religious reason!!!!

 

I never faced the music until this year. I just buried it or pretended I did not have a problem.
It wasn't the lack of a sex life with my wife, but that's bad enough.
It was the lying. The double life. Every time my wife wanted to talk to me about something my heart would jump a little - - "Oh, no! She's caught me!"
I would hide my phone and Ipad. If my son wanted to use the Ipad I would double check to insure the history was cleared. I would sometimes look at porn sites on my work computer, then be paranoid about getting fired. I could go on and on and I am sure a lot of you guys can relate. No more!

 

Religious beliefs, guilt, loneliness of God, and also tiredness of feeling like crap every single day. Also, the awareness of the energy lost in every PMO session, which I need for my life. And finally, I like the NoFap glow, I feel far prettier and feel a lot more confident while increasing my NoFap Streak.

 

mainly shame of what was turning me on, also terror of what it reflected in me. i want to be in a loving realationship soon and dont think its possible with such dark fetishes. and the kicker was when i was listeing to a bodcast about a serial killer and they listed some of the fuc8ed up sites he went on, i recognized some of them. i NEVER NEVER want that feeling again, NEVER

 

Fell in love. Ended up mastering NoFap.

 

Started because of rejection.. continued because i saw the benefits

 

You're wrong on that. It is just that you do not instantly see the effects. But I guarantee you, a relapse will lead to the same point where you were before.
I see your counter is on zero, so looks like you just did it. Finish it once and for all. You never have to watch porn again in your life.
I decided to quit like you, because of PIED.

 

Me? I got to the point where I was watching BBWs. I think it's gross. I always have and still do, but I found myself thinking this was ok. I naturally like thicker women, but I got to a point where the thick pornstars were not thick enough anymore so I had to upgrade. I never felt more ashamed than after fapping to those BBWs. It only took a few times to come to the conclusion that I had a problem and I wanted to change.

 

Well, having a preference for thick women is at least not perverted, unless they are completely obese. And liking black women isn't weird neither. As matter of fact, I do absolutely prefer black women.

 

Hell yes dude. I'm only attracted to curvy thick women. Bustier the better.

But yes don't fap to them

 

"For the b*tches"

 

I just want clear up that I thought BBW meant big beautiful woman, not big black woman. Some of the big ladies I was watching were black. I didnt discriminate.

 

Self pity. I am so disgusted about myself doing it and yet i keep on justifying it. I pity myself for being PMO addict.
I want to start anew. I feel shamed to God because I promised a thousand times that I wont do it because it is a sin. But I keep doing so.
I am curious of how can I be "cured" by using NoFap. Can somebody tell mo how this works? I just signed in the moment I saw on youtube that this helps alot those who are addicted to PMO.
Ps Hugs to everyone. Lest do this for the better us

 

I just wanted to become a better person. In the past i watched some fucked up things to get my daily porn dosage; i said enough is enough, I knew i had to stop
I am grateful this site is so supportive to everyone here. It helps a lot.

 

Ended up needing some screwed up fetish stuff to get myself off, lost the respect of my friends through my constant self administered isolation. I just want to be a healthy man again.

 

Also, I want to be a good father and husband.
