    I Hate Porn, Why do I still Use it?

    I am married, have a 6 year old child and a smoking hot wife. I used to be very active but really since I started using porn as a crutch I have been lethargic. I don't know where to begin. I hate myself for watching porn, my wife hates it and it breaks her boundaries. Sometimes I have the urge...

    Enmeshment with mother - a risk factor?

    I was listening to the "Art of Manliness" podcast (corny sounding name but seriously worth checking out) and he recently had a psychologist on who works with men who suffer from "enmeshment" with their mothers. Enmeshment means you put your mother's needs over your own needs, can't set...

    Serious decision in my life

    I have P addiction since I remember myself. For the first 20 years of my life it hasn’t caused so much problems actually; however, years later I’ve realized that I have a huge problem.

    I wish I never ever watched you

    I'm an 40 yr old, who has been watching porn since I was a teenager. When I first watched a DVD I bought from a sex shop in London, I never knew that it would change my life as an adult forever. I recently ended an eight-year relationship with the love of my life. I struggled to feel anything...

    Hello! (Male 31 yrs old)

    I first heard about NoFap in 2016. At the time, I didn't think I was addicted to porn. I always thought addiction meant "severe" addiction but addiction really does look different for everyone or perhaps I was just in denial. At the time, I had a door to door job which for some reason I liked...

    To those who dealt with narcissistic family members

    As we know narcissists tend to be callous, unemotional, and lacking in empathy. It's impossible to live with them and not be the target of such malicious schemes. I recently discovered my biological father to be a narcissist, with a strong inclination to Sociopathy. It made sense to a lot of...

    I found the cause

    Today, after another relapse from this ongoing streak of urges and failures, I think I have finally found the root cause of my PMO problem. And that is... loneliness and repressing myself from being open to people and from making friendships and relationships. I know that it isn't stress from...

    Disclosing PMO Addiction/Recovery to Family/Friends

    For people who are in PMO recovery, do you tell your family and friends about it? I get the sense that my family and friends have always figured something was "wrong" with me (how couldn't they), even if they didn't know exactly what it was. Now I'm in recovery, but they have no clue about that...

    Hi! After 5 years of orbiting around NoFap, and 12 years of PMO, I finally decided to do something about my addiction and made a public commitment to quit. In my case, masturbation resulted in premature ejaculation, which makes me so freaking anxious about sex, that I started escaping...

    Why I'm doing this....

    Here's a thought: In real life, sex may feel good (I've never done it, but I can still imagine). However, it is also very risky. Not only do you risk impregnating a woman (if you're not looking to get kids), but you also risk obtaining an STD. If you get an STD this way, that can seriously...
