NoFap's Official "Orgasmless October" 2016! Continue or start your PMO-free commitment here!

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Happy Gnome, Sep 30, 2016.

  1. Sign up for the monthly challenge in this thread!

    It's that time of the month again - hello and welcome to the official signup thread for PMO-Free October 2016!

    The purpose of this thread is to provide Fapstronauts with a place to share their commitment to abstaining from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire month of October 2016. Although it is strongly recommended, posting in this thread is not required for participation.

    New to NoFap? Here are some suggestions:
    1. Learn about the website, porn addiction, excessive masturbation, and abstaining from PMO. Read through the forum to get informed.
    2. Decide if abstaining from PMO is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to step three.
    3. Sign up for this month by replying to this thread.
    4. Consider setting up a day counter to track your progress. Otherwise, there are a variety of phone applications and calendars available for crossing off how many days you've lasted.
    5. Create a Journal Thread and share your progress every day. Not only does this help you stay accountable, it documents valuable anecdotal evidence that will ultimately help other people going through similar situations in the future.
    6. Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Come here every day and participate.
    7. Get an accountability partner.
    Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.
    • Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is called "hard mode".
    • How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting.
    • What are your goals?
    • Why are you doing this?
    Coming in after this month has already started?
    Don't panic - it is not a problem. Fapstronauts sign up for NoFap's events all months long. Just follow the instructions above and jump in at any time by replying to this thread.

    Onwards soldiers and pacifists who are aren't really sure how they got here! Your future is in your hands!

    I had more progress in September than I've had in the last two decades. Hell, that's not just in nofap. Probably in all areas of my life I'm making exponential gains.. and nofap has been the backbone of that.

    October will be the month that makes or breaks me. I either become a hero that'll go on to mentor and rescue others, or I'll fade into obscurity and go down as a "what could have been". I'm opting for the former.

    Since I relapsed the past few days I'll start again now and hopefully go through october until eternity. No other goals for now except the usual: socializing, staying busy etc.

    Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever?
    • Not sure I can do 'hard mode', I am married, but I need to make a change. My goal is to go without P or M.
    How long do you want this challenge to last?
    • 90 days without P or M.
    • My start date is Sep 22nd.
    What are your goals?
    • To feel better about myself.
    Why are you doing this?
    • Because what I've been doing does not make me feel good.

    Today is my 61 st day official since I Did the deed or watched the thing. Yep count me in.

    Hardmode FTW. After realising the short term benefits, I am aiming for the long term benefit of noFap.

    I'm in! My main goal is the end of the year (90 days from now), but October challenge seems to be a good start :)
    Plan is to avoid P and M.

    Hi! I'm new here and eager to get started.
    • Variety: I'm going the PM track. Open to orgasm with a sexual partner (though I doubt this opportunity will arise in the next month).
    • Duration: I'm going to give the month of October a try as a start.
    • Goals: I'd like to see some improvements in the physical health of my dangly bits. They seem worn out after years of self abuse. In addition, I would like to feel happy and confident, not generally overcome by shame and disappointment.
    • Why: I am just beginning to realize how physically and psychologically destructive my actions have been over at least the past 10 years. I have been a compulsive masturbator since adolescence and a porn addict for quite some time as well. Earlier this year, I gave up on porn altogether. That part will be easy. Not masturbating for a whole month will be much harder -- something I haven't done since...well, since I first started masturbating in the first place. Interested to see how things go.

    I am on Day 38 of NoFap and here is my information below :

    - I am abstaining from masturbation,porn,and orgasm which is also known as "Hard Mode" . I will also say that I'm on "Monk Mode" for now which is not having sex, no social media with stimulating photos at all... even sexual thoughts is a no go for me.

    - I want this challenge to last 100 days.

    -My short term goal is 100 days (I am on Day 38) and my long term goal is 365 days ( 1 year ) but i am making this a lifestyle (Hard Mode), not so much a challenge anymore.

    - I am doing this because I understand now that holding in your seed works wonders and is something special to do for yourself. It's also about discipline and helps with self control and if you want to be able to have the best life for yourself, you'll have to try to be able to control the things you want and don't want for yourself. I have always been spiritual and I feel if I want to have a higher understanding about my spirituality, I need to do this.

    Good luck to you all !
