    I would say I have been fully aware of the science surrounding porn addiction and sexual conditioning for about two years now. I would say I properly started taking this seriously on April 2018. So I have been taking it seriously for nearly two years.

    But even though I have for the most part been taking it seriously for two years, through out that time I still have fell in to periods of relapses/binges. Sometimes I have lost focus and stopped caring as much for short periods or time but then ended up back on track.

    Yeah I just feel like I have been at this for a while and still haven't reached success.

    I suppose if I could just stop relapsing I would be successful.

    So how long have some of you guys been at this?

    Do you still feel addicted to porn and artificial sexual stimulation?

    Do you still have sexual dysfunctions like PIED?

    269 days? and what was that a streak of? No PMO in 269 days? So you didn't ejaculate through masturbation in 269 days?

    Surely if that's the case then you certainly don't have sexual dysfunctions like PIED anymore? Surely you also feel like you have this addiction under control now?

    Yes,no PMO 269 in row, yeah buddy i don't have PIED.I can tell you i m still addict but that is funny in comparison when i was just few months in nofap.I almost have no urges,no problem with fantasy,even if i got urges i have no problem to resist,now i don't trying nofap,now my everyday habit is nofap i doing it with ease.I just accept that for rest of my life.Only problem that i still have is femdom,but i have this fetish since i was child,even before i know what porn is(i m not interested in vanila porns)so i think that will follow me for rest of my life but i m ok with it.I just wonder will i ever be attracted to vanila things,anyway i will find out how time pass.
     
  7. low libido, motivation issues. no pied thankfully but my dick is quite numb
     
  8. Whenever you have a relapse you should maybe try to masturbate to vanilla porn. Also you can attempt to rewire with a real women.

    You have trained your brain to get a dopamine rush from femdom, so you must train your brain to get it from something else.

    Do you feel femdom is a porn induced or a innate fetish?

    I tried quitting since 17. When I was 13 I started watching soft-core films on late night TV. I alread felt the dopamine rush there but thought it's just normal. When I got high speed internet at 14 I started downloading as much hardcore p as I could. Dopamine rush increased even more.

    When I was on vacation at 17 I first realized I had a problem, because I had physical withdrawal symptoms after not having internet access for 5 days. Since then I'm trying to quit. Since 5 days it's my first serious attempt. I tried numerous times before but I was never so determined like now.

    I'm 29 now. 50% of my life time I was a porn addict. Developed a lot of fetishes and wasted thousands of hours of time. It's time to get rid of it once and for all right now.

    I've been addicted to compulsive MO for 25 and PMO for 17 years. I've been trying to quit for at least 15 years, but have been serious about it for the last 4-5 years.

    discovered nofap 2 years back. highest streak is 30 days. im confident i can hit 90 this time.
     
  15. I found out about NoFap after stumbling upon Gary Wilson’s TED video in December 2018. I suppose that means that I’ve been on NoFap for a year now. Longest streak was 30 days.
     
  16. I discovered nofap in 2014. I gave it a few shots but always relapsed. My longest streak was 52 days and I had a few other streaks like 42 days, 30 days couple times. Now I'm 150 days porn free and 65 days PMO free. But it's still tough. Today for example I have some chaser effect.
    This current streak is the most serious I've ever been about quitting, and the difference is that I'm really determined now to take my responsibilities and change my life. Going to a therapist helps.
