    Jealousy in relationships

    Hello Nofap family. As a kid I was never really confident and always had relationship attachment issues as a teen. To the point where I would consider myself a creep...

    Nofap, life and emotions

    First of all I must say that I'm not an english speaker so forgive me for any mistake. Well, I'll be direct. Does exist any connection between lack of emotions (I mean, really fucked up) with PMO? I'm asking this because there's been a while (few years maybe, I don't remember exactly) that I...

    How Our Culture Sets Boys Up To Be Sex-Obsessed

    I apologize if this article has already been shared and/or discussed. It's a really good article I came across a little while ago.

    Emotional Control

    Hi guys, this question popped into my head and I think it's important for many of us. I have noticed that some of my most powerful triggers are my emotions. Sadness kills my motivation, makes me feel meaningless and gives me an emergency exit. Anger makes me go closer to my demons and porn is...

    Effects of avoiding PMO

    I use "avoiding" as that's how it has seemed over the past few weeks. I haven't even been counting the days (of course once I post this and see my counter I'll have a better idea of how long it's been). What has happened is that I'm feeling emotions a lot more. Every so often I'll binge on...

    Cleaning up porn

    Spent some time this morning cleaning porn from the computer and phone. I haven't had any temptation to watch porn this week, so I figured I'd wait a few days until I had plenty of time and was in a good place in my head before starting the cleanup. I have to say, it was really hard. Something...

    Feeling better.

    I'm only 5 days in this. But after spending my free time here, and researching online, I've come to the conclusion that I can't control everything that goes on. I can't control how my wife feels or the actions she makes. I know now that I have to be positive and fix my issue. I can't make my...

    Lack of physical/emotional intimacy

    Hi, One of the main drivers of my urge to PMO is the lack of physical and emotional intimacy I have in my life. I moved to a new city five months ago and have built a new social circle (including men and women) from scratch, which is great. However I don't get to see these people often due to...

    Let me shed some light on NoFap

    I bet most of you are trying out NoFap for the superpowers - health, power, confidence... Others do it just to prove themselves that they are able to hold a week without touching their banana. But not many actually think about the reasons and the entire process. Addiction is not what you think...
