compulsion

Hello to all the men seeking to better their lives! I've heard of the NoFap community for some time and have always appreciated the idea behind this platform. One of the reasons I decided to join this community is to remind myself that I'm not alone in my struggle with P&M. Another is to be...

Hello, I have been porn free since sometime in the middle of April, and I gave up masturbation starting April 25. I have not reset once. I was very proud of myself, thinking that I could do all of this by myself. I had visited NoFap and read some resources and stories and whatnot, but I didn't...

You are browsing through a youtube video, and a sudden impulse arise, out of the blue. Its like you need to come alive, the body grips, the mind slips and you 'curiously' just want to 'check' that one x video, just to see it. This one doesn't count. I'll just watch it and get back to what I was...

The great yogi, guru, author, inspirational leader, mystic, etc., Sadhguru, from India, gave a talk earlier today that included general advice/prescription for compulsive behaviors, which can include fapping, you know? The clip (~5 minutes) starts at least at 14:17 (wasn't able to post the...

I know I won`t buy any of these drugs for myself without referring to a psychiatrist. I would like to gather some information before having a conversation with the GP. Here are My Problems (Yet not boring!) Listing out each and every activity that are left over in the Do List Feeling like...

Hi. Male, Uk, late 30s. Despite thinking I had my compulsive issues with porn beat in the past, I find myself at rock bottom. Increased stresses and pressures at work and home caused me to seek escape in an online world of pictures and chatroom fiction that anaesthetised the anxiety and stress...

No matter the rationalisations used, the unavoidable conclusion is drawn that dating apps in all their variety and variation are crutches to one degree or another. Tinder, Bumble, POF… they all are designed purposely to hook us in, keep us coming back and turn wondrous human beings into...

Hay fellow Fapstronauts, I'm noticing since giving up on PMO/sex, that I have started being more and more trapped in repetitive and senseless web browsing, binge movie watching, overthinking, and have trouble getting out of this circle. I've read that compulsive acts are a result of stress and...

What are the most important benefits of beating your pmo addiction? At 4.5 months of no porn or masturbation after years of addiction, I see the "benefits" differently than I saw them at Day 0. Yes, I have enjoyed all the usual life enhancers that others have noted, such as no brain fog...

I guess we expect in some ways that abstinence re-sensitises not only our genitals but also our brains. I have noticed new bodily obsessions rise in prominence and magnetism after my first ninety days of no porn related orgasms. The height of this fascination and sensitivity seems to come after...
