abstain

So it’s been around 10 days that I’ve started to abstain and before this I have tried to abstain multiple times but I failed miserably in that. But this time I’m feeling a lot better than my previous tries and my urges are very low this time. Now I don’t know what’s happening me to me, but I’m...

Yo.. If any of yall is reading this. Congrats. Yu are an amazing person. Please do yourself a favor..... en detach yourself from smart phones! by & when I say.. downgrading from a smart phone to a basic flip phone has change my life! I feel much much more happiness & abundance. After being a...

have been trying to quit for approximately one year now, and i have never been able to get past 3 fucking days, i had always consistently and reliably relapsed. until this week. started 10/31 and havent nutted or watched porn since then. i know its not much, but finally being able to go a week...

Everytime when i have urge, I trying to abstain and telling NO to my enemy and trying to escape, delaying on acting urge but ends up to relapse. I don't know what to do... Advice me please!

Hi guys, so I’ve been doing nofap since I was 16. I am 21 now. I’m going to keep it short and sweet for time sake. when I was 16 I was depressed and hopeless. It was hard as could be, but I was successful with nofap and I was the complete opposite. at 17 I felt great everyday, looked...

Yesterday I had a couple ladies to communicate with so I decided I ought to reboot to better interact with them. I already had added the women to my calendar so I also added on my calendar that the day was a “PMO abstinence” day. Right in the evening when I felt like looking at porn I...

So about 6 months ago. December 21st, 2021 (exactly 6 months ago), I relapsed and I was edging during the relapse. I’ve been trying to quit pmo for a while again. but that night, I edged until I got blue balls , the aching sensation in the groin when you are really aroused without release. I...

This past year and a half, I’ve been binging pretty heavy every time I’ve slipped. To the point of concerning symptoms… dissociating brainfog anxiety numbness and tingling etc. My question is for people that understand my situation.. Will I be ok if I stop? I need to quit so bad. no...

So yesterday, I relapsed vowing to stop. (I’m done) I relapsed because for the past few days before that, I was fantasizing and checking out girls, and looking at movie scenes, and it was giving me headaches and head pressure. so I figured a fresh start would be necessary if I’m going to beat...

It was late 2018. My life was shit. Constant anxiety. Social incel. Completely fogged up mentally. No girls. Etc. I had no hope, until i came across nofap. It took a few months. But around April 2019 I hit a 57 day streak. After that it was smooth sailing 20-30 day streaks. my life completely...

Hi, I'm new to Nofap and I'm trying to stop masturbation and porn. I have already tried several times but I have started again each time. If someone has good advice not to fall back, I am a taker.

About a month ago, a few days before Christmas, I edged. For hours. it was terrible. But it happened and i got blue balls. It was bad pain. I then stopped edging and finished in the morning when the pain stopped. no pain was present anymore. But a few days later into my new streak, I felt a...

i started my streak last night, i am getting through the day now but i want to know if this is normal yesterday, i masturbated alot. it was not good. but i got back on the horse and earlier, i was just thinking about stuff in my head, and i suddenly came across a thought that got me pretty...

So almost a few weeks ago, one week before Christmas, I edged like crazy, I felt intense blue balls. It went away after, but for about a week or so after I edged, I had a tenderness in my left nut. Thankfully, so greatful, it went away. But literally for a week I avoided running, jumping, etc...

I have an issue struggling to keep sexual thoughts out of my head for my reboot, and keeping my mind clean. It's like my mind plays tricks on me to attempt to make me struggle. It's so straining and its brought alot of suffering and pain to my life. But I know I have to remain strong. I...

I’ve noticed a lot of people on here seem to want to be free of M and O. I’m on here because I want to abstain from P indefinitely and I think that a 90 day reboot would go a long way towards that goal. Why abstain from M if you rid yourself of P? Why avoid O?

I know what they say… if your questioning it and all that. It must be a relapse. But I really don’t know. I am 95% sure it isn’t. But what do you guys think. An hour ago I stumbled across a triggering image and i almost went back to it but I quickly scrolled past and got out, I got urges after...

is waking up cold a sign of withdrawal and recovery? ive been waking up cold the last two days and feeling more tired than normal. im getting through this just curious.

I was feeling so good. Day 2 and a half. I just started feeling so dang good. And I fucked it up. I fapped. I was so horny and I immediately regretted what I did the second I o’d. This is torture. God please help me. I want to live life and feel the way I was intended to feel. I messed up so...

I fapped for a few days, after a decent 12 almost 13 day streak. Today, I told myself that this was it, I was going to abstain for good. But before that, early this morning I fapped 3 consecutive times. Of course I felt bad because of the fapping, but I didn’t feel these head symptoms I have...

Hey good people, I would like to extend a thank you to the creators of this website. Having a forum where people can reflect on their choices to delve into pornography and excessive masturbation is valuable in today's sexualized world. We live in a society that promotes sexual deviation in all...

I’m writing this just to get something off my mind. I relapsed late last night after around 12-14 days I did it multiple times (full pmo) The extra times were because of terrible ocd intrusive thoughts during orgasm. (I’m not a pedo, but visual thoughts about a child). the ocd makes me feel...

I was looking through my Snapchat, I couldn’t tell if it was a girls face faintly or a guys face and still can’t now bc it was blurry and dark but I kept looking, (I try not to look at girls faces bc they arouse me) and I stopped before it was too long but if it was a girls face (because of the...

Last time I fapped was just now, I made a vow to myself I wouldn’t fap again. My thoughts tend to spiral out of control. I had a terrible thought last relapse during o. I don’t want to get into it, not to sound dramatic, but not goods I was going to fap again to reverse the thoughts, but I...

Not a long read at all, just read all of it for understanding. Today, I relapsed sadly. I did it multiple times. My cold got a lot worse throughout the day and I feel bad. I was going to relapse later and then start my streak. I’ve been watching movies (not necessarily looking for women) but...

I just started a new streak today. I’ve been fapping alot less and getting through hard urges more. today, since I woke up, I was fine, I’ve lasted down a couple of times today and it’s like I have a vertigo/dizziness and it feels like I just stopped spinning. Has anyone ever experienced this...

I went 8 days without pmo. I relapsed and I fapped for a day, I got right back on the horse and today (day 2) I feel a lot better but I have a really giddy (I don’t know how to describe it) feeling. And my thing is really senstive. I’ve been having a lot more urges than usual as well, but really...

Hey guys, I have this ocd you can call it, where I stress about having a good start of streak. Making sure that I don’t think about anything sexual at all or rub my pants any certain type of way in the beginning. last night , I last fapped, I reset the counter, but I had this ocd like my streak...

So to put it short, I made another thread earlier because.. I “intentionally” watched p in my dream. it was a lucid dream, I was sort of aware it was a dream, and could control it. Is what it means I knew I had to stay away from p, but I wasn’t exactly remembering why I had to in the dream...

Is it a relapse if you choose to watch p in a lucid dream? for those who may not know, a lucid dream is where you are aware of what is going on and can control the dream. at first, I was dreaming, I was choosing not to get aroused but then in the dream in which I was aware I ended up saying f...

I’m making this post because, Even though it may be obvious, masturbating is terrible. it’s so fucking terrible. I cannot even describe it. Nothing comes good of it. Whatsoever. There are absolutely no benefits. it’s a worthless act. Stay away . It’s easier said than done. But just imagine...

I just got off a bad pmo binge. I’ve been having irrational ocd/anxiety. that same anxiety is the reason why the binge went on for so long in the first place. like I’ll relapse at first, then I do it again, and then after a few times the anxiety gets worse and worse so I feel worse, therefore...

I was just waking up out of a sleep. I was about to have a wet dream or something. I was really horny for some reason i felt my dick on sliding in my pants and I started to get aroused from it. I honestly can’t remember if it was on purpose. I was sooo aroused. Does this count as...

I quit pmo for 11 days and I relapsed one week ago exactly. My head was in the right place and I started to really feel the benefits again. From there, I binged for a few more days, until Sunday April 25th. I happened to get really sick (maybe just a seasonal cough) and that helped force me out...

Anxiety, brain fog literally to the point where I have trouble reading sentences, head pressure, slight malaise. I have a trip coming up, I’m going to be gone for a week. I just don’t want to feel anxious while I’m down there on my trip. What do you guys think about this?

So yesterday, I was in a pmo binge. I need to get out of it so I could continue and get on with abstaining and improving. I binged for 3 days and it causes a lot of anxiety. Last night, my last relapse was around 5 pm. I was going to do it again later after that, so I wasn’t really careful...

Last night, I was looking at pictures of something (not trying to get aroused) and I stumbled across images that got me aroused, I tried to ignore them multiple times, but I got so aroused I almost fapped right then and there. Now I have urges still and also I feel a little bit of pressure in my...

I think I’m going through flatline, I’ve been having symptoms that are really weird Today, I woke up with brain fog and trouble concentrating, I feel very dull, a slight pressure in my head, too. I’ve never gotten a completely loss of libido personally from a flatline, maybe it just depends on...

Greetings, my respected members of this community. If y'all don't mind, I have a question about something I experienced recently. You see, in my consecutive 13 days of abstinence, on the 13th day, I would always get this sudden and incontrollable urge to PMO. This would often happen whenever I...

My streak begins now. I’ve done nofap and was doing great in terms of my life, but then I got caught up in doing pmo frequently for 6 months. But tonight I start to fix and continue improving my life. I need to start now and stay away for good. I’m gonna do a thing where I try to keep checking...

I started my streak at around 12:20 Wednesday (two and a half days ago), and last night I considered relapse, I got through the urge, and made it through. Today, I’ve been having urges for the most part today (I can tell my brain is craving dopamine) I made it through today and tomorrow will be...

Some people on this forum I have read say that nofap shouldn’t be taken too seriously, that abstaining from pmo shouldn’t be treated as everything. But the things is... Without NoFap and abstaining from pmo, there isn’t anything. Regardless of what some think, I strongly disagree with such...

I don’t know why this is happening, but last night I relapsed. I did it 4 times, on the fourth time I started doing it already so I just wanted to finish and get it over with. So I can continue on and start my streak. After finishing I put it away and started my day counter. this morning, I...

I was taking a nap just now and I had this dream about starting to look at p. I’m not going to detail it but when I was waking up I was started to get really strong urges and I woke up before any thing happened (wet dream). The thing is, I remember waking up and moving around and my thing was...

I recently got back on track after a devastatingly long binge. 5 months and 25 days. It’s insane. I hate fapping. but I noticed that once I started my streak to recover again, I immediately went into flatline maybe day 5 ish. when I went into flatline mode/withdrawal, I really took mental...

I'm new to this forum and I haven't messed with account details like setting up a counter, but I am at 153 days. For the past couple weeks though, I have been hanging by a thread. Every single day I am extremely tempted. It feels like only a matter of time before I fold and I have some extremely...

I just started my nofap streak and I’m determined to quit this time. I’m not aroused because it’s my first day or 2 into the streak. But I still had this concern. earlier, I had ocd intrusive thoughts about erotic content. Basically, I kept thinking about it (not out of arousal) but because of...

I started my streak yesterday and I’ve been doing good since. Almost at 24 hours. but this ocd that kept me binging before the streak started is bothering me. like I’ll have thoughts like “I have to do it to reset the streak and keep it a clean perfect streak” because of thoughts I had during...

My question is, can excessive pmo or edging (if you do it enough in let’s say a few days) cause any health problems with the nervous system or can it “burn out” the dopamine reward system? I’ve had multiple intense ocd fap binges in the past few months (like 20-30 time binges within a week...

I just started my new streak yesterday and I’m almost one day into nofap. I went to bed really tired and periodically through the night I had barely conscious fantasies that I was not in control of. I was conscious enough to remember them, but I was not conscious enough to realize that it was...

I’m just innocently laying down right now and tired trying to go back to sleep, but whenever I move I feel pleasure because I’m sensitive, Im trying for this to not happen. also, my urges got me fantasizing but I cut them off the best I can everytime they come, sometimes I’ll get aroused when I...

Today I was just looking up a YouTube channel (non explicitly) and I unexpectedly came across a picture of woman’s lips with drool coming down and I of course left immediately but within the 1 second I saw it I fantasized and got aroused from it. Is that a relapse? I did not watch porn or...

I feel super super sensitive right now and thinking about a real life girl is giving me powerful urges. Any tips? and also I feel like whenever I move around I’m getting pleasure from the sensitivity. Is that a relapse? I did not watch porn or masturbate whatsoever.

Today I woke up, after a lot of urges yesterday I managed to stay away from porn and masturbation. I try my best to distract myself at all times. But just now this morning I’m not sure about what to think of what just happened. I’m sitting here right now and still am having pretty good urges...

I was on the bus today and I was surrounded by attractive girls, I was turned on and horny. I got a slight erection and while trying to get it to go down the bus hit a bump and my boner was getting pushed up against my pants in an unusual position. I did not want any of this to happen. But it...

I’ve been doing good and I got super worried about 10 mins ago when I found myself adjusting myself and getting pleasure from it. I literally wasn’t paying attention and I didn’t get pleasure from it, I just don’t know if it was voluntary. My question is, since I stopped immediately and It...

I know I’m posting these questions almost daily, but it just helps me clear up some questions I have about the things I do. Today is day 2 and I’m feeling pretty good already (compared to what I felt the other day). I’m starting to get a clearer head and my energy is starting to increase big...

To start off, this is day 1. Last night after relapse, I was adjusting myself and my dick kind of slid across my pants causing a pleasure sensation. My ocd made me focus on the last bit of it as if I wanted it to happen. I did not Pmo or anything. Do you think that this ruined my streak since I...

I started my streak again and I find that I’m always paranoid about what is a relapse. Just now, whenever I walk I start to feel pleasure from my junk hitting the sides of my legs/underwear. or when it happens when I know I have to get up or walk and am expecting it, even if pleasure is...

So today is day 9 of nofap about 10 minutes ago I was getting ready for a trip I’m about to go on. I have this thing we’re I feel pleasure just from walking (and I can’t stop it). For the past 9 days I’ve been avoiding walking with my legs close together (like normal) and it’s just been so...

I know this may sound like a generic nofap post and I post I write frequently. If you could give me the best advice I would appreciate it. Im writing this so I can hopefully get advice that will save me from a relapse and better my life that much more. It means a lot to me. I’ve relapsed way...

I am currently trying to from fat to not fat, 6'3 250 pounds -down 10 pounds from about 4 weeks. I hjavent started nofap yet due to the inability to abstain, i dont seem to have enough want for it, so will it help with weight loss?

My longest abstinence streak of 252 days was recently broken, which was brought on by my social and professional diffidence I decided to control with edging. I thought this would be acceptable practice, more than acceptable when watching pornography, to avoid denying myself as a sexual being...

Hello for the third time! After abstaing from PMO for 6 days I had an unfortunate but half preventable accident which led to this reset and to the conclusion that it is better to complete challenges in stages,to get a much stronger feeling of acomplishment.This challenge will be structured in...

I've been there yes and it's really hard to fight this libido crawling up. The longer the days, the harder it gets. I want to make my post real quick as short as i can. These are my personal realizations and I HOPE that these will also help a lot of Fapstronauts. #1. Find your most painful...

I know it's hard. We all suffer from reboot. The lidibo is crawling especially after few weeks and months of abstaining. BUT in my experience, all i can say is you need MINDSET to fight these demons. How? By using your most painful experience brought about excessive PMO. Here's mine: - limp dick...

Everyone-- I'm starting this thread, called "Dreams and Goals" Post one dream or goal that you would like to do. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE NOFAP! I'll get the ball rolling... I dream of changing the world one day.

i have waited to log to try to stop for good. I have done this nearly everyday since I was 15 or 33 years. It makes me feel less than I am and I believe causes premature ej. I want a better life and to be a better father for my children. Please pray for me, that I will abstain today.

I tell you what I would like from this recovery to really feel good. The last time I had sex I could not reach orgasm, sex became worse than masturbation, but today I arrived on day 6 and I wanted to tell you what I would like it to happen. I would like to abstain so long to be able to reacquire...

As the title suggests, Single and happy go lucky. I'm getting a lot of female attention and some girls, past acquaintances and new, are really intimating they want sex or to mess around with me. My main goals with NoFap: semen retention, dopamine reset, be more connected, feel more...

Hi Guys I have been practicing Semen Retention for many years. However, I still sometimes look at porn and edge, which I want to stop. I have found huge benefits from retention, in fact I feel amazing for it. Would be interested in chatting to others who are practicing this. Damon

hi peeps I’m new here and how long are you meant to abstain for and it’s benifits? Thanks

Hi I'm new to NoFap. I've been wanting to stop degrading myself, my self esteem, and inner personality from masturbating for two years. I had gotten into this mess 6 years ago. It's turning me into something I don't want to become. I know that if I keep this nasty act up, I won't succeed the way...

After 178 days of nofap, I finally fapped last night. This is because for the first week of nofap I felt on top of the world. Confidence, boosted mood, attraction, etc. Then after first week I spiraled out of control, developed depression, had low self esteem, and no motivation. Most of you will...

A big part of the reason why I'm trying to cut out PMO is because I think I've caused some kind of damage to my penile suspensory ligament by over-masturbation (Almost every day, for 1-3 hours. Porn made it easy to keep going, and now I wish I never watched it). It aches most of the time, and...

Hello, Although I have only recently joined the "NoFap" community, I have decided to create this post. In view of many articles and viewpoints, and the claims, stories, and victories of users on this site, I have been informed greatly on the subject. Throughout my abstinence, I have forgotten...

Hey friends, I'd like to clarify on a major myth on the people who took abstinence from PMO. Firstly, no person can abruptly put a full stop to PMO who had been doing it for years. I have seen in many forums and even in few Youtube videos where guys claim that they had their last ejaculation...

I visit this site often because i feel there are many individuals who are standing on the same boat as i am. And its true when i read many stories on the forum. What you guys are doing by abstaining from porn and other pleasures is courageous. I also feel great to be a part of the movement. I'd...

I was wondering if it is dangerous to not orgasm for a long period of time, like several months? Someone that has done that and can tell me how it is? And also, what do you do when thoughts or desires of PMO come up to your mind?

Everything in life which you take action towards has a consequence and unless there's a consequence,there's a reason to take that action. And In case of self-development the consequence is a better life,a hotter girl,more income but more importantly good habits. The main reason why we are on...

This is going to be a long one because I am explaining my psychology regarding nofap in detail. Before I start, let me make it clear that I totally support the NoFap cause and have been doing so for the past 1 year. I do understand that excessive masturbation and porn causes a plethora of...

Hey, I was just curious, anyone here practicing total sexual abstinence for a long time? Do you still have wet dreams? After 100+ 200+ days of no PMO, do you have nocturnal emissions? Is it going to fade out or is it a recurring event never ending as long as one abstains?

So I have this theory that if I break down my current addiction of Porn into addiction with less harmful things.I could abstain from PMO. I recently made it past one week but that was because I was so busy watching an anime with the name Steins;Gate I didn't even think about PMO. My personal...

Hi everyone, I'm very happy to had found a site like Nofap, where people with the same problem could discuss about solution to solve it (on the web, sites about PMO are very uncommon to find). I joined it about two months ago because it destroyed my ambitions and interests, social life included...

Hi! I'm literally new here and I myself is looking for ways on how to abstain from PMO until I found NoFap community that will (I hope) help me. I was absorbed by the horror of watching gay pornography since I was twelve years old. I really look forward to the day when I can finally have a my...

I have abstained from PMO for longer periods before, but it's been a while. My day counter below is marking PMO, but I have gone without MO for 15 days now. At first, you feel kinda horny but the battle is mostly mental. Once you pass a week, the mental battle is less, in the sense of just...

I have never considered myself as a porn addict but I don't remember a week passing by without watching porn or masturbate. I will try to abstain from it all for 90 days and post my progress. For the sake of better life.
