    Hello, I have been attempting and failing nofap for more than 5 years now. The longest I ever gone was 109 days, but that was last year when I had a girlfriend. Recently, the consequences of my pmo addiction have gotten worse and worse. I won't go into what happened, but I need to be clean and I have no idea what do. Also, I have this weird fetish that I can't seem to get rid of, I know it didn't exist until I started watching porn. I figured if I built a long enough streak, my sexuality will be rebooted. Right now, I just need to have a 30 day streak so I can be strong enough to go back to college. I really need advice, please help!

    If you a had a 109 day streak, then I wouldn't really say you were "failing". It sounds like you were doing something right. Lots of guys are on here looking for this trick, or that workaround. Something that will stop them from sabotaging their own lives. Way I see it - there's no trick. You just have to decide that you're not doing this thing anymore. Believe that your will power is enough. I know it's not much help, but it's all I got - and I've also been at it for years now.

    Check out Universal Man on YouTube. Check out the most recent videos on porn recovery. That’s where to start, it’s up to you to continue. Good luck!

    I just purchased Mark Queppet's Reforged Man Course at Universal Man. I have also been struggling with this problem for years. Your will power is not enough. According to Mark you need to reconstruct your habit so you start living a life that you don't wnt to escape from. If you can afford it and are desperate to quit buy buy Mark's course and do exactly what he says. That's what I'm going to do. Granted I have long ways to go... Anyway, if you can't afford his course checkout his youtube channel at Universal Man. He has a whole course about quitting porn on there and he also has a pdf which explains the things you need to do if you're going to quit porn.
    Some advice which has really struck me so far is if your going to quit you have to be 100% bought in and secondly during the time period in which you are quitting, quitting porn has to be your #1 priority. You can always be at your best after you've recovered, but you won't be at your best while your recovering. Finally, I'm curious was your 105 day streak a hard reboot abstaining from all form of orgasm (excluding wet dreams) or was it simply 105 days without looking at porn? Most people suggest a hard reboot in order for there to be real permanent success. Anyway, good luck and don't give up! Wish me luck as well, I sure need it.

    Pinnacle Man sells the same thing. What's the difference? Is it cheaper?

    I have been having the same issue for a long time now as well, and I believe I have some sayings that might help one of you all in your personal journey of quitting porn and masturbation addiction, there is in fact an enormous amount of science and fiction involved in masturbating and understanding the masturbation as a whole, and when I say fiction just hear me out. Even though it isn't proven by any scientific research it is proven by my personal research on masturbation victims that they experience (I also can support this statement from my personal experiences as well) a weakness in learning and understanding even the simplest things that life brings to those people, and I also struggled to understand what really caused this, I was stuck on the idea that masturbation increases dopamine levels to a very high degree which when next day if that level wasn't to be reached it overreacts with seeking new dopamine rewarding activities. This is somewhat correct, but knowing this will not help you get through masturbation, yet the solution is even simpler than you expect, now I am going to bring up some points that I never saw anyone bring up before so I felt this as my responsibility to express my point of view. In a lot of religions masturbation is a sin, and there is reasoning, an explanation that would make it sense for this action to be a sin right? well at this point I don't care what you believe and what you do not believe, I only want to show you guys what some religions have to say about masturbation because in my opinion knowing them will help people out. So in some religions, masturbation is considered taboo because it was an external source of pleasure aside from your own wife/lover, also because it leads males and females to aggressive behavior against other people, this was realized back in the day and was stopped to end conflicts in marriages and such, yet what is about to come is more and most important. In one of the religions that I personally studied, I won't mention the name, if you know it good for you :D, the act of masturbation will make that person damned from God for a temporary amount of time, this knowledge in my personal opinion was something that really occurred during my masturbation addiction, whenever I masturbated the next day would go pass like a hell, all the troubles would find me and all the negative stuff would happen to me, and like in the sayings, the days that I didn't actually masturbate, I never felt like I was damned, I was happy and more..., and I even played around with this idea a bit to see if all of things were a coincidence or not, but now every single day that I committed to that action, the next day I would feel very bad as if I was being followed and hugged by a negative energy, there are thousands of tips and tricks that people try to use to quit masturbation, but reality is that no of them are going to work, no, they will never actually work, because you can't quit an addiction, you can only replace one, I will write more if you guys share your opinion about my opinion.
