My NoFap Views

Coop, you have definitely found something that works for you. Making that simple decision is what unites us all here, but to do it without temptation or relapse is pretty rare. It is scary that someone as young as you is here participating in noFap. It is a testament to your maturity that you have recognised that you have a problem, but it is sad that the world has allowed you to reach this point in the first place.

Fortunately, it sounds like your addiction is not ingrained and you have the mental strength to break it by willpower alone. Many people here have had the addiction for 10, 20 or 30 years longer than you and that sort of addiction is not so easily defeated. We have become slaves that, when given the keys to our shackles and shown freedom, choose to stay and be slaves because we know no other life. It takes a bigger stick to make us walk away from PMO.

Well done and good luck with your nofap challenge. Watch out for those who will try to lure you back in. Unfollow those who post P. If they ask why you unfollowed just tell them their P posts are boring. Other than that, stick to what works.

 

It's not a very good idea to expose yourself to that stuff on Tumblr. You skip over it now, but I assure you one day you will linger over it...then full blown relapse.

Also who the heck is posting porn? What kind of porn are we talking here...?

 

I started at about the same age that you're quitting. Good job man! It will extremely help your social life when you get to high school and college if you quit now. Plus the ladies will be all over you . That's always a great plus.

And you're bringing up Thoreau. That's awesome!

Congratulations and good luck!

I see... I guess I don't consider nude art as porn.

 

It's great that you decided to stop fapping/pr0n in your early years. I kinda wish I did that when I was 13.

You're right, the process is indeed very simple. Do not masturbate and do not look at porn. There's a very clear line there. That's basically the approach I've used and I think it's the best way to do it.

But that line starts becoming blurry after a while (3-4 weeks in in my experience). You start making excuses, like "oh that's not porn", or "it's ok if I watch and not masturbate", or "I'm only going to wash my dick". You also start fantasizing and that's the worst thing ever.

It's important to keep reminding yourself of the simple guidelines of "do not touch your dick, and do not look at arousing stuff, and do not fantasize"

This simple approach is very easy for you because I think you're not addicted. It takes several years of constant fapping/pr0n to become addicted to it, and once you do become addicted to it and it becomes a daily habit, then stopping it becomes very difficult.


To a regular person who is not addicted to fapping, nude art might not be considered as porn. But to a desperate Fapstronaut who hasn't looked at a naked body or fapped in a month, that nude art will perfectly make do

 

I've never heard of Henry David Thoreau - looks like some interesting reading

No thanks required. I was just saying what you already knew - lol.

Good luck and have a great summer.

 

Best of luck.

Like others on here i wish i knew about this community at 13.

I'm 18 now and nofap is pretty damn great!

I would avoid the naked posts man, even if you're not lured in at the moment you will be- just a matter of time.

Same with FB, Twitter, Youtube avoid all the P. It's sooo bad.

 

I deleted my tumblr because there was so much porn, everywhere. I couldn't take it I felt like I was going to relapse

 

Well Done! I think that is a very wise decision.

I can guarantee one thing, porn never adds something of value to your life. I have 30 years experience of that.

 

I would stay away from tumblr. I preferred tumblr as a porn source as GIF's are just repeat scenes of exactly what you are looking for. Stumbling across any triggers at all is likely to rip away all your hard work and that can be disheartening. Good luck.

 

Man. That's crazy that a social media site is so full of porn... is there any warning pop ups or anything?
