advice

Important Abstract_ Hello. If you haven't already known, I'm new here. I don't know how often it is that newbies give out advice, but I hope to not let my status deter you from a few insights that've gleamed from my journey of recovery. Initially, I would like to bring up this...

So without any further ado, I am a 17 year old, and have been constantly masturbating and watching porn for 5 years. I have excessive pmo addiction, and in these 5 years I had been doing it every day (well atleast 4 to 5 days a week continuously for 5 years) and didn't try nofap seriously, not...

Hey there folks I've been trying to tackle my compulsive sexual behaviour for the past year. The longest I have gone is 20 days. I end up always tricking myself that i ve cured and a couple of pop ups on websites wont do me shit but next day i end up relapsing as urges start becoming more...

Warning this post has triggering content ( if this is in the wrong forum I apologise, I couldn’t decide what one to post it in, I just really needed to confess this to others) Hi, my name is Jake and I am 18, I am writing this post to confess and for any advice people may have, I apologise for...

Hi everyone, My story is quite similar to everyone else's on here. I started very young, watched a lot of porn and started masturbating and about 10 years later I realised how much of bad impact it's had on my life. I won't go into much detail about how it started since it's irrelevant for now...

Hey, I'm an 18 year old young man and i've been addicted to masturbating since i was 11 years old. I also got introduced to porn at the age of 4 and it did have a impact on me and the way i grew up. I was having sexual dreams and imaginations with me and all my crushes when i was around 6, but...

I've compulsively masturbated for as long as I masturbated. Have to jo at least 1-3 times perday. Honestly I didn't think I'd last this long without seeing any problems. But now I basically goon - spending hours edging myself, getting off multiple times. Longest I've gone I think is 6ish hours...

Hi Guys, In the past i had Igy as a helpfull companion but now with him passing away i dont have anyone to look up to for advice... actually right now iam doing pretty fine 2+ months clean without porn/masturbation/orgasm but what worries me is that after the gym today i was insanely horny...

After relapsing our mind reminds us about the truth, which cause us to feel guilty. Where there is an imbalance in mind and body our mind doesn't work properly our most of the time spends upon fixing this balance instead, we should focus on ourselves

Hi, I am a 27 year old male who has been watching porn and struggling with PMO for 17 years. I’ve been going through Nofap and relapsing for a while now, but I have gotten to the point where I can easily go 4-6 days without porn at all. And even seeing porn, or if a girl I hookup either sends...

Hello all, I realized I had a porn addiction about 6 months ago. I’ve wanted to get into a romantic relationship for some time and I didn’t realize porn was fulfilling those needs of lust for me in such an overly convenient and isolated way that I fell into this addiction. I’ve been watching...

Hi, Idk where to put this on this website cause off topic was just political stuff. im freshly 18 (ten days ago) and i've got a pretty small dick (4.1 inches long 5 inches girth while hard) and i just can't stop stressing about this shit. I know its fucking dumb but its something i really worry...

I'm not fapping for a little while now thus, noticing some withdrawal symptoms, one of which is sexual frustration which is turning into a REAL frustration and making me bitter, agitated and angry all the time. I was attending a wedding (of my close family member), there I was helping others...

Im trying to stop watching porn, and masterbate less. But of course I still get the urge often. Is there somthing I could masterbate to that wouldn't harm me?

I’ve been trying to quit porn for the last 32 days. So far so good. I haven’t watched any porn. But I noticed that every-time I see cosplayer or a cosplay video I get super horny and get tempted to watch porn. My girlfriend isn’t into that stuff and she would never do anything like that. I don’t...

Hi I'm wes! I've addicted PMO for a long time. I used to masturbate 5-6 times in a 1 day. These days I masturbate once in a week(sometimes 2) but when I'm about to masturbate I'm still watching porn. Today it relapsed again... And I'm challenging myself NO MORE PMO. I have some goals about this...

I'm 21, new here, I'm a total loser loner virgin & since I was 11/12 I've basically only ever masturbated, I'm convinced I've given myself Death Grip syndrome in some way, a number of months ago I received a blowjob and during this I noticed myself barely feeling anything at all, it was almost...

I’m someone who doesn’t smoke weed for multiple reasons. I’ve had problems with it for a short while and my family has had family member that had problems with drugs. My girlfriend, on the other hand, used weed. This has been a problem in our relationship since we started dating. She stopped...

Kind of what it says in the title. I'll be going into relatively unknown territory with my streak soon and figure I should get more involved in these forums. I think a general thread for what you guys are struggling most with during your current streak and then any advice people might have for...

I'm relapsing repeatedly for three days at night time - when I go to bed. AND I was doing very good before like, 40 days etc. But problem is, now im not feeling that motivation or willingness inside. I think about it, hook over it and just give it up. Im feeling angry for myself and wanna beat...

I want to start this diary to share with you my journey of getting to know this girl over the years and eventually falling in love with her, even though I did not want to. The year was 2013, we met in high school when she was just 17. She was the best friend and a classmate of my high school...

Sometimes I see some guys who get too desperate to fix their sexual and personal problems. They want to heal from the consequences of YEARS of bad habits in 1 or 2 weeks. My advice is to keep cool and ''enjoy'' the process. Many of you are wondering right now: ''how am I supposed to enjoy a...

I'm a 24 year old male, if that helps. I have struggled with porn addiction for a bit of time. I haven't been comfortable with who I was, & the porn (I consumed) reflected that. During the time when I was trying to rid myself of some particularly uncomfortable thoughts, I stumbled apon a...

As the title suggests. I'm asking you gents (and the few women that are here) what motivates you from relapsing? Or better said, what do you do to prevent an relapse? Ps. It's been years since I last remember using this account, feels good to be back to be honest.

Hey guys, on a streak thats too important to fail rn. I notice that when I hit day 10 my anxiety is out of control for about a week, whatever I worry about multiplies by 10. Last time it was an irrational pregnancy scare, this time its losing/not getting back my gf (we are on a break imposed by...

Hey everyone, today marks my 30th day on this streak. As the title suggests, it's my fourth time reaching this number of days. (Not bragging, just to be clear. Honestly, I don't even consider 30 days a success. If you're at 30 days and think you're no longer an addict or that you've defeated...

Hey guys, Lemme start by saying I'm early 20’s and have been in a relationship for ~2 years. Throughout this time I haven't been able to quit although I've cut down quite a bit and had some decent 25-30 day streaks. Although since January I haven't managed beyond 10 days (on day 8 right now)...

Hello brother, I hace a big problem rn. I am trying to quit porn and sexchats for 2/3 years now and it is barely a bit better now, I am not edging as long as a year ago, which is due to my therapy i think. Als my addiction to sexchats/porn (femdom, submissive stuff) is very proably a symptom...

Sup gurus! I am in a situation when I can have it, BUT... I am not sure if my D would work... Even if I am able to do that, I don't think I can perform well. The last two contacts were ain't good, I couldn't fully operate but with "the oral assistance", however I reached O. The thing is, it...

I am 21, I have been almost 5 years PMO free, I also don't have sex (still virgin) and don't plan to, Nofap has become my life and it is the best life I could imagine. (English isn't my first language so there may be a few grammatical errors here) I would like to share my journey, in complete...

I was thinking about myself and my urges, and what I was realized is that p*** addiction or any other addiction stems from one's inability to control themselves, and this results in acting out addictive behaviors. If this is the real problem, then how could we solve it? I know that when you want...

Bingles 2023 relapse pi-chart: This is a pi-chart of my relapses this year. It's not wholly accurate but it's a rough estimate. 30+ probably means it has happened too many times to count. And by relapse, it includes standard PMO but the definition here means simply looking at or viewing porn...

Hi everyone, Been a while since I posted here. I miss this community and look forward to posting more again I have an uncomfortable problem during sex. I haven't told my wife yet because I want to learn more about it before I bring it to her. I have Googled it and didn't find anything. I'll...

Hello everyone, I fell into an old habit and watched P. I began edging, but stopped. Then I fell asleep and had an emission in my sleep. I woke up needing to urinate. Should I reset or not? Is this a slip-up or relapse? It has been 109 days when this happened. Thank you for your advice...

I found a way to permanently remove games from my account but I'm hesitant to remove some games because of the money spent on them and the hours I put in. In general, if someone no longer indulges in pornography, what should they do with the erotic games they spent lots of money on?

Hi Guys, I would like to ask you for some advice regarding this addiction. My boyfriend recently opened up about the topic and I feel completely overwhelmed by the situation. I would like to hear some pieces of advice on how I can best support him through this difficult time. Should I suggest...

Hello brothers, I am kind of in a dilemma right now. Somehow I feel that there is something missing in my life, I miss that excitement, that feeling of being alive. But I don’t know where to find my passion, that thing to put my energy into. I am thinking of dating some women just for the...

Hey All, Hope y'all doing well and strong! Just wanna share a highlight or a simple exercise I came across reading through book The Porn Trap. If you're a person who constantly forgets why you started this journey give this a go for sure. "How Porn Is a Problem for Me Set aside an hour when...

Hello all! I am on day 50 of no PMO. 5 days ago, I got a cast put on my hand due to a broken wrist. Before 5 days ago, I would have (relatively) few urges because I would exercise almost every day (either 5-10 km running or 16 km on a stationary bike). I would always try my hardest and be...

How do I prevent relapsing because of morning wood? Throughout the day the urges are a lot less since I can distract my mind. But a good streak gets lost to morning wood and I end up with no energy the whole day. What can I do to fix this?

Today, while waiting for something, I decided to browse through Wikipedia. (I deleted all of my social media, so I read some articles instead of scrolling through Instagram.) Eventually, my sex-craved brain went down this rabbit hole of reading about stuff from biology, and I eventually clicked...

I think self-restraint can only go so far, especially with something as addictive as pornography. So here is a list of extensions that I have installed to prevent relapse. Hopefully others can find it as useful as I did. LeechBlock: This is probably my favourite out of the website blockers. It...

Day 05: Couldn't focus, easily distracted and feeling empty. To make things worse I binged on social media for about two hours scrolling mindlessly which gave me a huge urge to watch porn for more dopamine. Instead I tried to do some pushups I only could do around 3 (usually I do 10-15 with...

Hey! I'm checking in after a very long time. I have been suffering from addiction to porn for a long time and have been trying to quit but no matter what I do, I relapse. After relapsing its so hard to muster the motivation to start again and it feels like I lost all my progress. Whenever I...

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...

Onions have high amount of chemicals that result in urges .I was performing very well from 2 months in NoFap but yesterday I ate onions which nearly resulted in a relapse. Try eating Veg. diet

So I was addicted to porn when I was 14 years old. I say 14 even though I started watching when I was like 11 but I just...watched it just because my kid brain was like what on earth are these people doing hahahaha penis goes in vagina. It was just a funny curiosity but it wasn't until I entered...

I've discovered nofap 2 years ago, I kept trying to stop, and I really cannot, even I know it's really bad for me, I am now in the step where I can't control myself any more, my longest streak was almost 40days, I really want to stop porn and fap forever, it damaged my whole body and my mind, I...

day 17 of noFap: Today I had to run sperm quality test and bacteriology, it was ordered by my doctor, and I had no fun doing it, didn't think of non-normal kinky things while doing it etc., however in my view it's a relapse, I feel like on PMO again (but I have no chaser effect, just shitty...

Hello guys I’m on day 78 and from past week my morning wood is gone and no random erections and no wet dream(not even once) I consumed 1/2 glass of alcohol 4 times in the past 2 weeks Is that the reason and also I don’t know what to do if I don’t recover after 90 days. Please help

My parents have always been good for me when i was a child, but when i became an adult, things started to go downhill... I've first discovered this addiction at the age of 8, because of a friend of mine that pushed me towards it. Everytime i'm on a relapse: i lock myself in my room, sleep late...

I decided to quit porn due to extreme porn escalation and I am on day 16 now. My problem is really disturbing flashbacks that seem to be getting stronger as the days pass. These flashbacks give me a quick burst of dopamine surge and brain fog which is really annoying. I'm having a good moment...

That's right. I've been free of this addiction for almost 3 full years, and the last month I relapsed and fully binged PMO. I'm now about 5 days into my new streak, And I'll document my journey just to show you it's possible! Feel free to ASK ME ANYTHING ABOUT REBOOTING. In the next 5-10...

Hey there! I am a 28 year-old porn addict who has tried to get free from his addiction with very little success. I have withdrawn myself from friends and family and rarely even go out anymore unless I actually have too. I hate my job due to the stress it causes , but fear quitting due to the...

Hi Guys. I don't know if it's the right place to post this or not but I'm still going to try. issue : Yesterday , while masturbating I pushed my penish a little bit downside. A pop sound came. After 2-3 mins my dick lost erection and after 30 mins I saw it a bit bent on right side. Today I...

Just a simple question if there's anyone who's experienced with the stock market/real estate/investing/or any other way to build some steady passive income in the future... Currently, I'm studying the basics such as supply and demand and candlestick patterns. I'm open to ALL ideas.

I have found that the main reasons of relapsing can be fit into 3 categories: Loneliness, Stress, Triggers. Loneliness: You could also call this boredom. It's having nothing else to do may cause you to relapse. Without hobbies or (good) people to hang out with, you will be at a higher chance of...

I'm closing in on a week and it's been alright so far. The surge hasn't been kicking my ass but I have one problem. I'm still craving to look at porn even though I'm not doing MO. Should I download a porn blocker? I'm worried that one day I'm gonna act on my urges even though I'm doing well so far.

I have never really committed to growing out a beard since I am only 18 years old and I do not have hair growing on every part of my face, but I was told that you have to endure an "awkward stage" in order to actually grow it. It has been maybe two weeks since I have shaved, and I have a...

I don't really know if it started after I started nofap or when I was using pornography but when I wake up I never ever have morning wood. The reason this concerns me is that I am under 18 so I shouldn't be having problems with having erections. Is this just part of nofap or should I be doing...

I've always had a problem with porn addiction. I've always had a problem with getting around a little bit. Now, it's affecting how I perceive my girlfriend. Let me start by saying my girlfriend is beautiful. I love her brown eyes, her curly hair. She has an amazing figure. I admire everything...

I know 15 days nofap is not big deal for some people but I don't even remember when did I accomplish 15 days nofap challenges in past months. I will notify myself after every single day passes with NoFap. This is a challenge . Does any one want to join me ????? For me it's DAY 1

I am 20 but I am masturbating since when I was 12 . it has been 8years, There was only one time when I was able to quit Masturbation . And that too because I was busy in school and I didn't have my first phone. When I got my first phone, I again got trapped in this trap because I introduced...

Intro: I am 29M. I have been PMO since 17. Mostly vanilla but got into extreme/hardcore around 1.5 yr back. I had issues getting the little one up when it came to real encounters recently and have taken the nofap and brain-rewiring journey much seriously since then. Progress since starting...

I will make this quick to maximise the amount of people who will read it. If you have any questions about any point, feel free to ask. There is no going back once you quit. There is no masturbation after 90 days. For many, coming to terms with this is an understandably anxious thought - PMO has...

Anybody here a chronic sufferer of insomnia? I know I am not the only one. I wanted to know the methods you guys use and do in order to get a good night's sleep, if any. Do you find that being on a streak helps? What are your bedtime routines? I guess my dilemma is quite unique that not even...

I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. As many I’ve started out with fairly vanilla porn on regular tube sites. Over the time my tastes got more extreme, I got into drawn erotica and eventually pretty hardcore fetishes. I used to create and still comsume content (erotic...

Hey i think i know the answear but i wanna Ask. I failed at sunday and have masturbated one time each day since. Now its thursday. My problem have not Been directly normal porn, but sexting mostly. Go to a chat site and sext. Never really watched that much porn, its Been sexting and that means...

Hello everyone, My Name is Arthur, I'm 23 Years Old. I'm french. Today I'm writing a quick overview of who I am and the challenges I'm facing with porn and beyond. Trust me, I'm not proud of anything I'm sharing in this post, but I'm trying to see this as a new start but more so to connect...

You have the power. I often felt I could never overcome PMO. I was addicted for 1.5 decades, from 13yo til now. But now im convinced I can do it. You may think you dont have the power, but thats just cuz you haven’t figured out how to use it yet. You’re like a prepubescent superhero learning to...

As I didn´t find someone talking positive about the kundalini yoga, I opened this thread. Because I felt the kundalini yoga made all the difference for me. I'm almost 34 years old now, been watching porn since 14 years old, I think I'm a heavy user. There was I time I fapped to porn 2, 3 times...

Has anyone ever heard of Recovery Nation? They have a recovery workshop full of exercises, available for free. https://www.recoverynation.com/recovery/recovery_workshop_contents.php I think it is worth checking out if you are interested in taking your recovery beyond simply abstaining and...

I'm new to this site, so I'm hoping that this is the right forum to talk about my lack of motivation to do nofap recently. The last time I PMO'd was January 2021 which was almost two years ago (I stopped counting the days a while ago). I've heard of many nofap benefits mentioned by people on...

So here’s some context about me. Right now I’m 23 years old, over 100 days NoFap with no plans of stopping anytime soon, and currently living in my parents house (which I don’t really have a problem with). I have lived in Hawaii and New York by myself (in my own apartment) for 2 years, not sure...

I lisened to a guy on instagram talking about nofap He had a few good points that stuck with me just want to share, Things like being told if you fap again you have lost all the benefits, i think its unhealthy to be told that or think because its like telling an overweight guy, go the gym, go...

So I would like to ask for some advice... Just for some context I am a 30 year old male and have been watching porn since age 8. For the first time in my long 7 years battling against porn I passed day 30 and am currently at day 55, but this week has been so tremendously hard and its starting...

Hey. This is my problem. I'd be going strong, exercising, being productive, etc. Only to then go through a day that saps my energy levels clean. Whether I've spent it all around people or had to deep clean the house. During these days the porn thoughts don't stop coming and I find it hard to...

I can't seem to hold a long streak together and I am in need of desperate help. I was on a 163 day streak, tying my all time record but unfortunately failed, and I remembered being so pissed off that I immediately started on a new streak, promising myself I would beat it. That was on 5/31/2022...

Hi guys! I will try to keep it as short as possible. Basically, I'm a 22 year old college student, right now this is actually the end of my undergrad studies and I'm working hard on my thesis. The problem is, I don't know what to do next, I want to continue my academic career, but the degree...

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...

I’ve had this happen before. But usually when starting a streak. I’ll avoid all sexual arousal so I don’t get these symptoms. It’s weird. but the other night I started my very needed streak to end this for all. We were all watching a movie at my friends house I went to after and I saw nudity...

Hi guys , I want to share my story with you, because it took me 12 years of trial and error to figure out how to stop porn once for all. I am completely cured now and I have a wife . I only had 1 girlfriend in my entire life prior to having a wife and curing myself from porn. So I was pretty...

If there are any people here who have successfully quit PMO, what helped you to do this? What are the things that allowed you to beat this addiction? Please give me advice, because I've been trying for 3 years and I'm at a loss.

I have a problem where I’ll go 2-4 days without really having to fight many urges, then for a week I’ll be relapsing every other day if not every day. Any tips on staying the course and recovering after a relapse?

Hey, Does anybody have any advice for limiting sexual fantasies? Ive noticed a big decreased when I stopped laying in bed on my days off, which has helped. But sometimes even when I’m bored at work and there isn’t much going on, I’ll start fantasizing. I read on the YourBrainOnPorn website...

Hey guys, I don’t think I’ve ever posted on this forum before but I’m seeking some advice. First off, I want to say that I successfully abstained for the past six days which was a huge accomplishment for me. I have added reading and meditation to my morning routine and I am dedicated to keeping...

Last night and during a nap today, I have no idea why because I haven’t been fantasizing or edging in anyway, and it’s literally only been 1 day. So I’m not aroused. I’ve been having these wild sexual dreams. Like the other night (the night I started the streak) I had a dream I gave in and...

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...

im so fucking worried. this addiction has brought me to horrible places. i dont want it to get any worse. but, im so worried right now. ill talk more about this. i remember when i was maybe in 3rd or 4th grade, i had these weird sexual fantasies about me and my crush who was about the same age...

Quit and quit until you no longer have trouble fighting the urges. I believe that once you go long enough to the point where you can run into triggers, talk to girls, and see things in movies and just turn away and never feel the need to masturbate, I think your healed. (Typically takes 60-90...

So yesterday I made it a goal to stop once and for all. I can’t let things like this stop me from recovering. I can to conclusions that things happen and I can’t let that stop my reboot. But earlier today, I started to feel better after starting my reboot. I was on a random thing online...
