college

I'm in my third year of university, one year away from being done, then I have to do my master's for 2 more years. Up to this point I've been a very hard-working student, always have been since 6th grade. I've pushed myself, especially during my time in college, taking on multiple...

Hi all, I work in a field that has seen a major shift towards hybrid working since 2020, with some workers having to come to the office just once per month. What advice/tips do you have for people who work from home, to ensure they don't slip up between client calls, during breaktime etc...

Note: This is a discussion for masturbation addicts who are currently majoring in Comp Sci/IT in college and masturbation addicts who used to major in Comp Sci/IT in college while being addicted to masturbation. I am 27-years-old. I entered college in 2014. My major was IT (The reason why I...

I started watching porn when I was about 13, and began sexting strangers when I was 16. I’ve finally accepted that I’ve had a problem with masturbation for about 10 years and I realize that it’s only affected my life negatively. I always struggled with school and going to uni only made the...

started to take NoFap a lot more seriously back in novermber, have had some good streaks but also some relapses. the biggest concern i have regarding my PMO addiction is the brain fog / lack of cognitive function ive been under. been watching porn as a habit since i was 15 years old, and have...

First time here, i recognize my addiction, and recently it's been very active in my head and harder to even stop for one day. It's worse and i hope that i can reduce it during the summer stop (i'm a college student). The amount of free time i have makes me want to PMO out of boredom, and theres...

Need some advice. I was wondering if years of porn and masturbation abuse throughout my puberty phase might be affecting how I socially interact with people. I seem to be better but sometimes when I'm talking to people I'll just feel this hollow, dissociative neurotic feeling where I have to...

New Fapstronaut here. I'm 22 and a recent college graduate. I know that porn and masturbation has been holding me back. It has made it increasingly hard for me to get over my ex. So now, I'm taking the initiative to leave this terrible habit and the thoughts of her in the rearview mirror...

I'm a 29 y.o. female and I'm scared out of my mind because my porn addiction got totally out of hand. I'm currently doing a pretty good job ruining both my relationship and my career. Just yesterday I missed the deadline for an important assignment at university because I was too busy watching...

It's been a month since I started to try and stop looking at p. My best run was 18 days but I relapse every 8 days or so. Im very depressed I can't find the motivation to study, work or do anything productive. I don't see the point to live anymore. I spend all my days laying in my bed doing...

Hi everyone Im just introducing myself here, for anyone who is willing to read this. I am a 20 year old male, about to head into my final year of college next month. i've been using porn since I was probably 13. my porn tastes are quite vanilla and haven't escalated to anything extreme, however...

As someone who is struggling to save up enough money to go on international travel, looking at job listings is so depressing. Before the 2008 financial crisis started, it used to be that most people only had their high school diplomas, and university degrees were uncommon. Now the opposite is...

Hello NOFAP team, so I have decided to make this account because I keep relapsing. My longest streak was 40 days in November and I have been able to do 2 weeks streaks back to back and some 20-day streak ever since but I keep relapsing. I would like to keep accountability and become the full...

Before starting this, I just want to note that it really isn't my intention to start some sort of political "right vs left" debate. I've belonged to both camps in my life and as of now I don't really pledge allegiance to either. I've never really tried to put these thoughts into words before, so...

So after staying at my parents house since March I haven't had much time or privacy to relapse often, which was a good thing. However, I moved into my private dorm this month and unfortunately took advantage of the opportunity to relapse often. I find myself with nothing to do since classes...

Countries like Sweden do offer cheap or free education when you want to learn something new and have a high-paying job like accounting, bank/finance, engineering, marketing, nursing, and psychology so that's good. I wish I live in Sweden and I cannot afford that it's so hard to get out of the...

I plan to write about pornography as a social issue for my bachelors degree but i am not sure how well my advisor will take it because it should be a huge issue we are facing and i feel like no one takes that seriously. I study law and administration and i have to deliver a report that describes...

Well, I`ve been gone through many weird and crazy stuff on my life, I dont have enough time spill out all of them, so let me be concise of my CURRENT problem.. I was born with couple of physical deformities, yet I`m a fully functioning normal kid, had no mental issues, actually I`m really fond...

Hello, I'm NerdBeagle and I'm an 18 year old dude who's been struggling with porn and masturbation most of my life. I remember when I was young, about 6 or 7, I would go to my family computer when my parents were in the room, and I'd look up images of women, and while I didn't know anything...

has living on dorms in college help nofap for you guys?

Hey guys, I am a new user here, however, NoFap is not a new thing for me. In fact, I remember a time when I could have normal attractions to the opposite gender and was not porn obsessed. i also remember when I could control my PMO urges. However, this all changed, when my former crush broke...

Hi all, I'm a second-year engineering student and I've struggled with porn addiction and compulsive masturbation since high school. PMO has definitely been a root cause of many of my issues like social anxiety, depression, and lack of motivation, and over the last two years I've tried many...

I've been religious all 19 years of my life along with my very loving family. I just graduated, have held a job for over 2 years, am going college in fall. I am still dependent on my family but they keep forcing church on me but I really just want a break from religion as I feel it has prevented...

Ok, so first off, I am sorry for putting "Please help" in the title. I just need responses to this, because it is a little much for me to think through on my own. Here it goes. SHORT VERSION: I am deciding on whether I should ask my parents to stop funding me, drop out of college and work for...

My biggest reason for why I do PMO is because of my loneliness. I'm a college student who commutes from home. I don't have any friends nor am I involved in anything outside of my academics. I go to a relatively small school and I searched and found that there either aren't any clubs that I like...

What's up guys, finally made this account after using this site for a while. I've always struggled with getting girls/dating, and found that everyone else including my friends are just naturally social/attractive to girls and get girls extremely easy with very little effort. Like one of my...

I want to study again. I dropped out years ago (looking back, I was pmo'ing a lot back then. Hmmm) and have kind of missed it ever since. Meeting with a bunch of people every week and discussing interesting things. Getting homework and studying stuff I've never heard about. It's a great way to...

I remember first looking at porn when I was in middle school. My parents did not go out of their way to give me a sex ed talk, so I, an afraid, insecure middle schooler, did not want to go ask them about it. So I asked the internet instead. There I was for the first time exposed to the world...

Hey guys, I am a 19 years old, college going student. I found out about NoFap this year around June but could not follow it up properly. Now, I am determined to improve my streak and hope to reboot properly, with your support. Hope to make new friends here and start over again properly. Hope...

Hello. This is gonna be a long post, I apologize but I think it's necessary. I'm in a point in my life where I need once and for all to decide what I want in my life. I've always been really insecure. In short, I spent my whole life depressed and suffering. Since I was 14 years old I spent my...

Here I am. I've been watching porn since i was at least 11, although it might have been earlier than that, I can't remember. I'm ready to be done. I can't reconcile my porn use with how I want to live my life. I'm 22 now, and studying to become certified as a personal trainer. I'm in a...

Hey guys, so I completed 60+ days of NoFap hard mode and am very happy to share with you all the benefits and challenges that I faced. I started NoFap back in June, after reading and knowing about it more and more, I wanted to try it out and see if it makes any difference to me. I was in a very...

I started watching porn at a fairly young age. I watched the niki Minaj music video, "starships" and became obsessed with the wamens. My parents discovered me after I confessed, feeling ever so guilty, and they naturally put a bunch of blockers onto my computer. I was pretty crushed, but didn't...

I'm starving for direction in my life. I feel lost because of so many posible paths (as 'first world problems' this sounds) Things is, I have too many interests. But at the same time I feel I didn't commited myself really at any activity. I finished high school at 17 then I entered college for...

I just feel super empty and weird. I am trying to get myself healthy by abstaining from pmo, self-harm, over eating, and finding new ways to find a release like exercising but it's so hard to stay motivated. I truly want to stay in bed all day now. I'm also heading off to college in the fall and...

Greetings fellow fapstronauts! I'm surely on my way to becoming a monk it seems. I have long discerned between two voices in my head: the “little voice” and the “big yeller.” The little voice is the voice of reason, your inner center of truth and higher self that wishes for you to grow...

Female attraction is real if ur on nofap. Here is something that happened to me. When I was in college, I was living inside a co-ed dorm with coed washrooms. I was 18 and it was the second month I have fapped in my entire life. I was taking a shower, and there was some gap a person could use...

Hey guys! I haven't posted in a long time so it's nice to see you all again. A few weeks ago I went to a student council meeting (I'm on the council) and I wanted to address porn addiction/ the dangers of porn. I had written a bunch of notes beforehand with facts and insights. I got in and my...

Hello, I am 20 years old and I have been masturbating since around 13. I have energy problems due to decreased adrenal capacity and that usually triggers my relapses. Throughout HS I would use A LOT of porn but since getting to college last fall I have been really trying to stop. I have...

Hello guys Again I have to deal with some anxious thoughts. This time I think a lot about my college and if I can succeed or not. I always try my best to study but actually going to college has been a big issue for me. Previous year (way before NoFap) I had a very specific anxiety which I...

Hey guys, I just graduated high school and somehow I made it this far (and into a nice college) despite my addiction to Porn and Masturbation. Honestly, high school didn't go great for me, my excessive addiction to porn and masturbating didn't let me focus, my memory is shit, and I spent most of...

Hey there guys! My name is Michael, I am a 21-year-old college student and I finally decided to become a member of the NoFap community to live a fulfilling life and to be a supporting member as well . And to finally put an end to this destructive dead end cycle once and for all.

So I've been thinking about this for a while and talked to a couple of friends about it... Since in my college, I'm a representative of my course and I'm on the student council I thought I could raise the awareness of porn addiction and spread the word about the dangers of porn. But I don't...

Thinking of committing to Psychology full on when I go back to school and just want some advice if there are any psych majors here or people with advice or experience with it. Can I make a career out of it ? I feel like I enjoy doing work that helps me grow as a person and has a purpose so I...

Hey everyone! I am proud to say that I will be graduating from my university in May of 2018! I am very excited but also scared and nervous for what lies ahead. I will be graduating with a degree in Communication and while I loved my studies, I feel like the number of career options for me is...

Where to begin! I've tried to wean myself off PMO twice before. Both times I failed. Miserably. The first time I tried I went 4 days. The second time I went 10, before an unexpected breakup blindsided me and threw pretty much everything out of sorts. Since then, I've worked on myself quite a...

Hey all. I'm a 19 year old American bisexual man. I've been viewing porn for years on and off, mostly pictures but for the past two years videos. I have some hormonal issues that required me to go on HRT, which was really helpful for me in terms of my motivation and drive. I'm not fat and it...

NoFap is definitely a process that takes strong determination and insane willpower. I achieved 90 days last year but ended up relapsing at that 90 day mark. What was it to? Some model on Instagram. I'm currently on NoFap. I believe that social media has a direct impact on why many Fapstronauts...

I am 18 years old and just started college. I have been able to get erections and have intercourse in the past, but this past year I have noticed it become increasingly hard to get erections around girls. I rarely get morning wood either or erections in the day. I only seem to get erections...

I have a pretty big dilemma. I’m pretty happy at my current college. The only thing is it’s in a run down town and the people really aren’t the kind of people I’d usually hang round with. They’re more, I don’t know how to say, maybe chavvy? A lot of bad people from my secondary school went...

What's up guys! I'm Quoya and I'm a 21 year old woman hoping to gain control over PMO. I'm a senior in college and I've been struggling in many aspects in college over the past two years. I think that PMO is at the root of my problems so I'm facing this problem head on. I've attempted NoFap in...

Hello fellow Fapstronauts, I'm radann and I am a college freshman just beginning his fall quarter (and also beginning to come out). I perused this forum about a few times to research on dropping my PMO addiction, but now I join because I find that time is so precious for me in college. With a...

Hello fellow addicts. That's right. We're addicts. I'm an addict. To both porn and YouTube. I have wasted countless, countless hours of my youth and my time at university on porn and watching meaningless shit. It makes me feel ill to think of it. But confronting it is what I need to do. I had...

I've posted this in another forum but got 0 replies so i hope somebody will help me here. hi everyone, I've been visiting the website on and off to look for ways to stop my addiction (porn+fapping) and I've like the fact that its active .. so Im here ! here is a little background of me : Im a...

I get the fact that for STEM careers, you need a good GPA...but idk, just read on and please put your input Silly question, ima ask it anyway. But first, a short bio, I'm taking up PT Assistant as my major at a community college. And I am struggling (and did drop out on my first try) my...

The time we have is very limited and it should be spent wisely. In my short lifetime, I have failed myself multiple times and for the past few years porn was always there to let me feel sorry for myself and encourage me to fail myself even more. In times of great pressure and stress, porn is a...

i just started nofap 3 days ago, i might have a mild problem with pornography, but the real reason im trying to reboot is because i read about your brain becoming more sensitive to dopamine with NoFap. I drink alcohol once a week, i dont get blasted, just a couple of beers. i also smoke weed...

I've been procrastinating doing this, making this message here, for a while now. But I'm just so tired of porn, of the constant perverted thoughts, of the wasted time, all of it. I started porn when I was probably like 12, nothing serious, but then it wildly got out of control. I'm a...

Hi everyone, i decided to give nofap a chance again, try something new to hopefully quit. I was first exposed to porn at the age of 10 or so and have been addicted ever since. I figured out that this was a problem for me at the beginning of high school and that is when I started trying to quit...

Hello NoFap Community, I am 19 years old and am a sophomore in college. I began watching porn and masturbating around sophomore year of high school (A little over 4 years ago). I watched and committed the act profusely throughout high school, not thinking it was too bad of a problem. However it...

Hi everyone. My name is Derrick and I am a 21 year old college student. I have just joined NoFap but have been aware of the community for a year now. Last year I had an awful experience with a nice slim girl where I was able to get her to the bedroom but couldn't get erect. I wasn't sure as to...

Hi, I'm not new to NoFap, I've been following since April this year when Time came out with its article on porn addiction. That was ground breaking. It showed that everything I had been struggling with since I was 17 had reached the surface of mainstream media and, more importantly, showed I...

For the first two weeks, I did not even think of watching porn, but now, I have had to struggle through it each and every day. I want to reboot. Hardcore. I just have not put the effort in. I feel the effects so much and want to be done with this stuff. At times like this, right after a relapse...
