NoFap February (NoFapuary) 2014 Signup Thread

I'm in!!!
No viewing porn for the whole month much less PMO

 

NoFap for February.

No Porn (ever again!)
No Orgasm by my conscious hand
No Masturbation (no edging)


Let's do it!

 

I'm in! No PMO for me!

 

Didn't start well, but I will still be doing NoFap February!

No porn, no masturbation and no edging.
I set my goal for 30 days, which is something I only achieve ONCE since I started NoFap.
I want to develop better habits in my life, such as exercise, meditation, reading and also cut down the time I am online.

 

Decided to join this one albeit a couple of days too late. First attempt at a long slog, lets see how it goes!

 

Let's do this.
No PMO.
My main goal is the 90 day reboot but I'm gonna start off with Nofapuary.
My main weakness is masturbation and if I can learn to control it then I feel it will beneficially affect all other areas of my life.

 

I ended up succumbing to a regular MO last night. It was actually quite natural and relieving, but I'm still disappointed that it happened just 7 days before my goal!

Since I didn't use P, I went ahead and split up my counter today, and I will make a February goal of doing another 24-day MO -- but I know I'm gonna hit that 30-day PMO goal like a champ! Maybe even keep it going to 60!

Best of luck to everyone else in their endeavors.

This seems like a great idea to encourage and motivate us all so although my immediate goal is 180 days (about 33 so far)it'll be good to build this into the plan as well.

Why? So many reasons...

- to help my marriage - is "rescue" too strong a word?
- to enjoy sex with my wife without artificial fantasy which feels like three of us in the bed where there should only be 2
- to maintain my mental health
- to devote my time to much better things
- to lose the fear of exposure
- to maintain a calm and reasoned mind instead of irritability, unreasonable fits of anger and general moodiness
- to put a stop to the deterioration in my sexual tastes that were sinking more and more towards violent and distorted practices masquerading as normal sexuality
- not to contribute to exploitation, trafficing and violence against the girls involved
- to show proper integrity in relation to what my rational mind holds to be right and wrong
- to build a more consistent and deeper spiritual life
- not to find myself in bondage to chemicals and neurological paths that have nothing to do with my rational conscious choices
- to end a life of duplicity and sham
- to eventually be able to be of some help to others who might be struggling with the same things
- not to feel ashamed
- not to be horrified by what my wife, friends, family and my children would think
- to be true to myself

Is that enough?

 

Are you not allowing yourself to masturbate? To view porn? To orgasm whatsoever ("hard mode")?
i am not allowing myself to
masturbate
view porn
drinking alcohol and use other drugs ( cause under influence of alcohol i used to have one night stands and drunken sex dont want this too)
facebook
skypechatcam-stuff
second life

How long do you want this challenge to last?
till the first of may

What are your goals? Why are you doing this?

i do this cause i really feel that all this thinks are not healty for my and i am kind of a verry easy getting addicted to things - person and i realized in a verry hard way the last few month that all this stuff keeps me away from a real life, relationships and so on

 

Please add me, january was a bad month for me. Let's do february then.

 

I am PMO-free for 3 weeks. My life is really changing; I see REAL PEOPLE, not porn images.
Thankk G-d for helping me resist; hope to continue further.

 

I started to quitting PMO yesterday. I've been struggle with that problems for about 8 half years and it was been hell on me for long times... I'm so ready to see what's changes benefits from nofap! My goals are quitting smoking, masturbation, & porn. I am so tired of this because I miss my old life it was awesome with friends, family, and I wasn't shy or scary in that time... I want that back again! Porn destroyed my Life, lose friends, avoid social with people, too much to explain... So I'm 19, never have girlfriend in my life ever, struggle to find a job, failed in school, all of that because of porn make me want stay at home and masturbation... So I finally started with nofap right now!

 

One week into the month and doing very well. A lot of positive energy, a clean and clear mind, feeling much better. Looking forward to another week!

 

I want to channel/transmutate my sex drive into something beneficial and helpful for me and other people.
I'd go for a 90 day challenge.
My goal is to be more focused in personal development and other things that matter, instead of being affected by porn and masturbation.
I want to be a better person and be able to achieve my goals so I'm participating here.

 

I am in for February! And for as long as possible. I want to become a confident, strong man. I am doing this to change my life!

 

Aw yeah, count me in.

 

I'm in. "Hard mode."
I'm holding out until May 20.
My goal is to complete a 100 day cycle.
I'm doing this because I want to be noble, as I define it.

 

I know I'm a bit late but for the rest of this short month (and hopefully for the rest of my life) I intend to not watch any porn. Right now my confidence is sky high but it's only the second day, and I know how quickly momentum can change so I'll try to be careful. With less porn comes FAR less masturbation, which is another huge benefit. I'll soon attempt to completely exclude masturbation but 1 step at a time for now while I develop a strong will.

I'm doing this to develop self control, a clear mind, and a healthy sex life.

 

Hello mates,
Allow me to share several observations.

I was trying to drop PMO several months ago. Relapsed every 3-4 days.

First I have identified the key situations when relapses occur: for example when I am alone. So I tried not to remain alone. Eventually I found my brain trying to bypass this "wall", that is: I was (unconsciously!) searching for a lone place. And this place was found and I masturbated.

Now I am PMO-free during one month. The key difference is that I read a lot of stuff about the damage caused by porn. About personal and family relations of former pornstars (and just ordinary people) that were destroyed by porn. In such a way I have installed the "trigger" into my brain that fires once I started to search for a dopamine source, causing fear inside me.

This trigger helped me get through the hardest month. External limitations did not help because they were easily bypassed.

Your ideas, mates?

 

Third week of NoFap February and I'm doing pretty well. What is most surprising is the level of confidence that has entered into my life. I've always associated confidence with power in a sense, such that if I was successful at something, and especially if that success was recognized by those in my immediate surroundings, then I would be confident.

However, I've changed somewhat in my understanding of confidence although the power aspect still remains central. That is, if I define my confidence as power over others, or success as recognized by others, then I will always allow myself to essentially be defined by others. In the long run, this seems to be a recipe for frustration especially if I'm no longer successful in a way that other people perceive. On the other hand, if the power that I gain is essentially the power to deal with difficulties in a peaceful and direct manner, then this will no doubt be a power with far greater benefits.

And this is essentially what I'm beginning to experience: the power of inner poise. I would not have known even a few short weeks ago how much this is influenced by the emotional self-control gained by redirecting my energies away from PMO, but this is exactly what I've been experiencing. The simple act of saying 'No' to PMO has had more positive impact on my confidence, and my life, than most of that other so-called success which I've experienced in other fields.

And this site has been pivotal in my quest to become a more poised, complete and confident person. Thanks to all who continue to post, offer excellent information, and inspire.
