So I really overstepped yesterday... I got so excited talking to someone that I invited him over. Thank god that he has work tomorrow otherwise I would really be in some deep shit right now. I can't take these urges anymore! I don't even want to look at porn right now, I just want to rewire...

Hey y'all, I'm Sammy M. and I literally just joined this community a few minutes ago and I'm amazed at how helpful it already is to me haha. So yeah I joined because I am struggling with PMO big time. My family is religious and so is my community where I live so I feel pretty alone in this whole...

This is my first challenge ever in this site, I'm excited about It , As you know the first week after a relapse is the hardest week ever where all the thought cross your mind and your memory is super strong and you can remember every detail of porn scenes you've seen, I quite skeptical as I've...

I just read this article and it gave some seriously cool insights about the process of recovering from a breakup. "This brain imaging study of individuals who were still 'in love' with their rejecter supplies further evidence that the passion of 'romantic love' is a goal-oriented motivation...

Whew. It has been a long time nofap. When I first found you I thought I was on my way. Instead I found about "edging" and in doing so my quest to quit porn became the gateway towards an addiction that has consumed an endless amount of time. Time I could have spent being productive. Time with...

Was sitting in the living room triggered, conquering the urges, when suddenly a wish to drink coca cola appears. It got me laugh and wonder why did the second addiction get activated? How common is this phenomenon?

Hi, OK straight to the point. I set a goal to complete 30 days of nofap and so far so good. I'm on day 17.. so I feel pretty great. I don't think I've cheated yet but I'm not gonna lie either.. I had played with myself a bit but not to the point where I bust a nut.. I think following through...

Hey, NoFap community. I just thought I would share some insight on my experience with having ADD and a porn addiction. My first exposure to pornography was around the third or fourth grade. On a bright, sunny, summer day, my friend and I came across a porn magazine on the edge of our...

I am a 15 year old male. When I was 13/14, I started watching porn and masturbating. Since then, I've been doing it pretty much every day. Back when I started, things were way different to what they are now. I remember only being interested in girls, but now, I find myself having fantasies of...

Hello everyone, I'm an 18 year old guy, and I've had enough of this 'addiction' that has developed over the years, mainly due to me being a sort of recluse. I spend most of my time nowadays on the computer, and the urge just creeps out of nowhere. The longest time I kept resisting was about...

Question: -Most of my relapse cycles happen/start in the morning literally destroying the rest of my day+night. I've tried alarm clocks, reminders on the phone (I don't have a PC/laptop) but nothing worked in the long run. I don't even need to visit a site ( I have plenty of images written on...

Well i haven't watched porn for about 2 months so i am proud of that. But i am addicted to chatting online now. And that is really hard to quit for me nowadays. I've been relapsing some lately because of it. Now i know there ain't no easy way out of that. Maybe it's gonna be even harder now, but...

hi guys im so happy i found u this website and ive decided not to fap from before but i keep doing it. So i hope this website is going to make me feel much better about myself. I just turned 18 and i want to stop porn addiction (which is one of the main reasons i fap)and control my life and to...

Hello everyone, First I'd like to apologize for any english errors that may be present in the following text, english is not my native language and I'm working on improving it. Also I'm really sorry about the huge text, I've been keeping all this to myself for a long time so I want to share...

I really hope some of you can use this to your advantage. I've achieved a lot of success with NoFap and I want to help out some of you. Beginning this past June I've gone for over 6 months without masturbating or watching porn. Well surprisingly that came to an end today, but I'm not letting...

Hello community, I'm a student from Berlin who recently realized that there are effects of masturbating on porn. I've never seen it as something bad or as an addiction until i heard about "Nofap", and with it, about the effects of PMO. Unconsciously, I always knew that it takes my motivation on...

I have problems that are exacerbated by Adderall and ADHD in general. I currently am prescribed Adderall to treat my ADHD. XR 25mg. However as much of a miracle drug this has been for it. It's negative side effects have grown. Long story short it makes me want to look at porn all day. And...

Hi Nofap I'm here at a very sad but cathartic period of my life. I'm 26...and recently moved two states with my girlfriend of 4 years, with our bright futures and wonderful life in an exciting new city in mind. I won't give the whole story...but things have sadly ended between us as the love...

HI everyone I am sandeep from India I started watching porn when i was 13 year old now I am 23 , so for last decade I have been watching porno and some times i masturbated for 5-6 times a day and I dont like the feeling of regret and depression which follow the masturbation, I don't want to...

Most of us who practice nofap used to relapse a lot as beginners. We used to think that it is natural because we are addicted to it. We believe that eventually, we would be able to hold up longer streaks and one day come out of this addiction completely. The truth cannot be farther than this...

Started watching porn regularly by the age of 16 and now I'm 24. My porn addiction haven't been so bad since I could stay without porn and masturbating for some days. From about a year things got worse since I haven't been sexually active and started watching porn almost everyday, sometimes more...

Hi friends, I have struggled with porn addiction for a very long time now. I believe my first time watching any kind of sexual material was at about the age of 10.. I do not know how or why that fateful moment brought me this far, but now I find it almost impossible to quit. My addiction has...

I am seriously having a hard time getting up after my recent failure. I seem to have trouble resisting P-Subs such as online chats specifically and that in turn can turn into erotic literature. I'm rid of porn which is good but i don't know if i'll get through this. I want to cry a bit right now...

Fapping has been a part of my life since early teens. It has completely dominated my life, the way I think, and the drive behind most things I do. After reading about NoFap and the symptoms of most people on here I was like 'shit, that's me!' the lack of confidence (even though people may have...

Hello everyone, my name is Vincent, I'm 17 years old, and I am addicted to porn and currently suffer from SOOCD. Let's start with SOOCD or rather HOCD, it's basically when you have OCD and because of that you are unsure about your sexuality, I believe this was brought upon by excessive...

Hello everyone, my name is Devin. I am a 20 year old college student out of Virginia, and that is all I really want to disclose, because I am very ashamed of what I will type next. I have come here probably for the same reason as most, to cure my porn addiction. I have been addicted...

Hey Folks. Newbie here. Male, 20, nearly 21. Lots to get off my chest, hopefully it can help you relate. Background Here's the run-down. (I'm very careful about keeping my public image, so nobody's heard this story before. Here goes.) I first discovered masturbation in my early teens/late...

i just joined NoFap because I am tired of being addicted to porn/masturbation. This has been going on for eight years now and has affected me physically and psychologically. My penis is bent to the left and almost feels displaced. I feel that my penis use to be slightly larger, but because of...

Hi everyone, after reading a few posts on here I have realised how bad my habits have become. Over the years I've masturbated in many inappropriate places, and now starting to feel the shame. Which inappropriate places have you all found yourself misbehaving in? Mine have embarrassingly...

I was at home and bored usually i find activities to replace this but now i couldn't sleep and i couldn't get myself to take a cold shower so i am lying in bed without being able to sleep and getting hornier and hornier. Now i can't watch porn and i still won't that shit is harmful in any case...

I found this website quite randomly. I'm 25 years old student, still virgin, bi (as much I know). I'm doing it more and more frequently, right now 2-3 times/ day with some breaks if I don't feel the urge. I believe I'm getting addictive on PMO. In the start I was doing it for pleasure, but now I...

I am seriously considering jerking it, i don't fucking care. I am writing this because it's on a thin thread now. I really want to fuck a girl but somehow it ain't getting there and reading about how others do it all the time on social media and seeing these hot girls it drives me...

Hello NoFap! So, once again I'm back. It's been promise after promise and I still relapse. I don't understand why it's so hard. I reached 10 days and then relapsed because of an accidental trigger. I feel so weak and so pathetic.. I can't believe it. I'm here because I really want to cut porn...

So, as of this morning, I am celebrating my third straight week fap free, give or take a couple of hours. That's 21 whole days without being on porn or touching myself. Sure there's been some slight urges here or there but definitely nothing I've been able to combat easily. I think this forum...

In the beginning of 2015, I discovered NoFap and did a series of very long streaks. I remember back then I would say to myself, I wonder what would happen if… And I wouldn’t relapse because I would think of what it would be like to open Pandora’s box and how many horrible things might fly out of...

Hi all, I'm just curious if anybody is/was concerned about coming out about porn or sex addictions based on any stigmas or negative stereotypes that they didn't want to be dragged into. I know I certainly did. I didn't want to be remembered as a creep or some kind of pervert, or some chronic...

*Before I start, I do talk about relapsing here. I also talk about Intercourse... not in any detail AT ALL but it is mentioned so don't read if you think this could trigger* Hey guys, AD_UK here. I'll just begin by assuming that none of you will have read any of my previous posts about my...

Hello My names Tom. I've been a porn addict for more then 10 years and it has destroyed my life. I'm writing this to warn you guys not to make the mistake I did. I started watching porn at a young age and started fapping when I was 13. Masturbation destroyed my sex life. I couldnt last even 15...

There a lot of info that talks about the damaging effects of porn....but whats been your biggest issue related to P addiction?

Hey guys, Guitar-Man here, doing my little intro. I've been living with porn-addiction since puberty (I'm now 23) and it has manifested itself into a constant guilt, shame and anxiety. This lead to me acting in sleazy behavior, costing me the love of my life. In the past week I've been on a...

I have a problem. One that many of you here have overcome or are in the midst of overcoming. I'm 26 years old, found porn accidentally at 13 on a shared computer. For 13 years i've watched porn casually and thought nothing of it. Now it's really breaking apart my life. I do good in my life, a...

I've been on nofap for over a week and I've already relapsed twice. I thought I had kicked this thing that has plagued me since my teenage days but alas the craving to watch porn comes back and bites me. Even though I no longer spends hours every day viewing it, I can go a week or weeks and...

I've noticed a lot of people in the community saying that the best way to avoid porn as well as masturbation is to totally separate yourself from those things and their triggers. I disagree. I've been trying this for a while and for me PERSONALLY I found that the more thought and effort I put...

Hey everyone! As the title indicated, I've been lurking around NoFap here and there, but never really made the conscious decision to join into the community, because, blinded by porn, I never really saw the true damage it was doing to me. I'm 17 years old, and I've been battling against...

Hello everyone, i'm a 19 year old college student, diagnosed bipolar 1 and the last two years of my life have been hell for the most part. I'm sure all of you understand how hard it is to recover from the wounds long-term porn use can give you so i'm looking for some real support. I feel very...

Hello Nofapians I have been contemplating my relationship and my over use of pornography for quite some time, and what effect it has on us as a team. I know it isn't a problem in my relationship, because my girlfriend caught me self-abusing in bed while watching porn on my phone. I tried to...

I am convinced that this is why this forum and hanging out with friends keeps me clean.

Hi, I'd like to introduce myself to this great community! I've been watching porn and masturbating for a lot longer than I'd care to mention. I want to gain control of my life. I've tried quitting before, but I've never made it passed two weeks. Those two weeks were great and I was able to...

Hi, This is something of a cross-post, but I'm new and may have lost the person that means a lot to me. I'm trying to throw myself into this. So please forgive me. New to NoFap, but I've been here before in terms of porn addiction. Around the start of uni I had a big thing with porn that...

I hope today is the first day of 30 without PMO. I cannot remember the last time I went more than two days without it. Certainly it hasn't been in the last few years. I wanted yesterday to be the first day. I had spent a few hours looking at this website and the reddit page. I was actually sat...

Hi, It is very nice to be here. I am from Pakistan. I am a 28 year old adult with a stable IT job and a relationship with this beautiful girl. My motivation to joim is my extreme addiction to porn and its consequence that is masturbation. There were days when I was so into it that I will...

Hello, I feel nervous and a little embarrassed to post on here but hopefully it will help. As a history about my addiction to P and M, when I was 13 hears old my parents bought me a laptop. I had just started doing home schooling online so I needed a computer. I then stumbled across a music...

Hello everybody, Recently I tried out an experimental and alternative method to get rid of porn. It has been going on for 10 weeks now and I feel I have totally recovered control over my Porn addiction. So I thought I would share this experience, as it might inspire other people. Please note...
