    Recommitting to NoFap. Had one last orgasm this morning. Committed to no PM for the rest of April. Not including O because I'm engaged and we may engage in sexual activity this month.

  4. Okay, I'm in! I had to reset yesterday, but I'm ready to start again. My long-term goal is to abandon porn and masturbation for good; for now I'm ready to commit to 30 days and then I'll see how much further I can take this streak. Eventually, and with God's help, I will leave PM behind for good and all!

  6. I want to be a husband and father one day. My future wife deserves a man who saves himself for her, and my future child[ren] a good father. I want to give them that.

    I'm in for April. I've had a few good streaks in the past year, followed by some real setbacks in March. I'm doing this mainly for the purpose of being a good lover to a future girlfriend/wife, and ironing out some of the kinkier aspects of my sexuality. To remind myself of how bad it can get, I'll post a snippet of a note left for me more than twelve years ago by my girlfriend at the time:

    "I want you to have orgasms. But last night, I just couldn't take it anymore. The other night, the one where you went soft, I noticed a pattern -- you get soft when we are face to face. How do you think that feels? And what exactly does it mean? Do you get turned off by knowing it is ME that you are having sex with? Is it that you are in a less powerful position, that you don't have full control? Obviously there is something about having sex with me face to face that has consistently turned you off. That night, you lost your erection as soon as you knew I wasn't going to turn around. I don't want to do it like that anymore until you can show me that you can handle having sex with ME. Until then, you might as well masturbate because either way, it's like I'm not there at all."

    This is from someone I felt deeply in love with. I'm sad to say that things only went downhill from there. I haven't read these words in years, but man, they still sting. I don't want to be that guy ever again.

    • Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is dubbed "hard mode". For a full list of parameters, see our Rebooting 101page.
    • How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting. You can't know how long it will take to "rewire" your brain, it widely varies due to individual circumstances. Some people require a year or longer to regain sexual function.
    • What are your goals?
    • Why are you doing this?

    I am here for the Abstain April 30 day challenge. I'm agreeing to not let myself view porn, masturbate, or orgasm as best as I can, considering this to be hard mode. I want to challenge myself to 30 days of no PMO, and my ultimate goal is to beat my old record of 39 days. One day, I will do my first 90 days as well. As for my goals, I have a lot of them.
    When it regards to my porn addiction, I want to be more comfortable around females and engage with them more. I want that anxious feeling to go away, which is one of the reasons why I want to do this 30 day challenge. Another goal is to fix my PIED and someday have normal sex with my future girlfriend. I'm doing this because I've been a porn addict for far too long(18 years) and I'm ready to make a change. I've never had a gf or been on a date, and I'm tired of having no confidence in myself. Now's the time to change, and I'm ready to do it.

    I'm new to this community but I'm going to try to do 90 days (and hopefully more after that..) of PM rebooting. I am in a committed relationship so full PMO would be difficult. I spend way to much time on this garbage and it has given me a poor image of what sexuality is. I'm coming off of a binge just a half hour ago and I can't take it anymore. That's it.. this is the start of change.

    I understand you 100 percent. My ex-wife said she could never compare to that crap. I am so mad I did that and I lost her. There is no going back to her she moved on.

    I actually made this decision on my own a week or so before I googled if anyone else has tried this and I stumbled upon this vibrant community and I'm quite excited/hopeful to go PMO free until I feel sexually rejuvenated (and lose the v-card)! Let's do this boys & girls, fuck porn and the non-realities it purports!
