hard mode

Hi everyone, I just turned 24 this month, and I’ve been consuming pornography since I was around 12-13 years old. Over the years, I’ve tried multiple times to break free from this addiction—at 19, 20, 21, and almost every year—but I never managed to quit the way I wanted. The longest I’ve ever...

Hello. It's 2:11 AM where I am. I've been trying to actively quit this habit (a la NoFap) for months now and, on average, the farthest I'll get is 3 days, and I can't take it anymore. I can't take it anymore. I genuinely can't take it anymore. I've felt the dopamine from porn and, when I get to...

Hey everyone! As the title implies, I am looking for 90 day Hard Mode no PMO daily accountability partner(s). I did this in the past with a good friend of mine and we were both very satisfied with its effectiveness. For the sake of this run, the O is allowed but only if it's with a partner. The...

Hello, Fapstronauts My name is Phoenix. It is time I break free from the chains this addiction has put on me. I made first contact with pornography at the age of 12 years old. Now, nearly a decade and hundreds of attempts later, I face the same battle. Life feels like an endless facade, like...

Having surpassed my goal not to cum for a particular ammount of time some days ago, I decided to give myself a release before I return in the hard mode for another particular ammount of time... I tried to avoid all porn infused fantasies and keep to my focus on very "clean", vanilla thoughts...

I was on a streak of 27 days, but my wet dreams and some peeks into some erotic telegram groups lead destroyed my streak with me jerking off without porn. just those peeks caused this devastating damage. I felt immense guilt after masturbating and edging. I have uninstalled telegram from the...

After almost 6 years doing NoFap, I'm here to share my views about the reboot process I believe it's the fastest and better for a complete recovery. Most fapstronauts aim to recover themselves from porn and masturbation consequences through Hard Mode. It's a great way to heal their brain from...

Welcome to the 10 Day Challenge The challenge is simple, easy and clear. You need to reach 10 days of NO PMO. You can start at any day but preferably start at Day 0 in this thread until you reach 10 days. When you reach 10 days, you leave this thread forever. Or restart anytime. That's...

So you wanna complain that everything is hard? You brought yourself to this forum for a reason. You're sick and tired of watching life happen to everyone around you but yourself. Everyone your age and younger is getting married, starting families, and starting careers. And it's eating you...

So basically, I was making food in the kitchen and I heard people talking. Naturally I looked to see who it was. There was this really beautiful girl, her mother and the Landlord. I actually was really interested in her, it felt like my sex drive was invested in getting to know this young woman...

Welcome to the 90 day hard mode reboot. This is going to be tough. If you're ready... If you're man enough... If you're willing to completely say goodbye to Porn, Masturbation and Orgasm in order to reboot your brain to factory settings then you've come to the right place! The rules are...

So I haven't posted yet, this is actually my first post. And I'm so proud that it is. So this is also an intro post, so buckle in, it's a long one. Background: 27 y/o, in a committed 3 year relationship, and kinky individual having dabbled in nonmonogamy prior to. I am one of those who has gone...

Hi fellow humans, I have just begun my 90-day Hard Mode journey of NoFap. This means no PMO for 90 days. Previously, I've only managed a maximum of 5 or 6 days without PMOing, but I'm going to do everything in my power to succeed at 90 days this time. Personally, Porn has caused a great many...

Hello amazing community!!! I really need your input on this subject!!! I am very much undecided whether to go no PMO or just no PM. I started NoFap with an objective of 100 days till our anniversary. Initially it was meant to be hard mode. Then we tried Karezza, well we started off with...

Had a long talk with my wife tonight. Basically, we had sex last night. She felt a little bad about it last night, but felt much worse about it today (possible internal boundary violation). She's still struggling with the safety aspect of our relationship which is completely understandable after...

What up guys i just relapsed once again (on day 16) but the difference is this time, i dont really care! TRIGGERS:- me again! Let me cut the short shit short this time… Friday -(FOR NO REASON) was peeking, before you know it started edging (multiple times) but stopped. Saturday- had a dream i...

Holy fuck, y'all. I haven't been here in over a year, but I didn't go all in like I could have. During that time, I justified any/every use of PMO I could think of - and my addiction spiraled out of control. Again. I felt miserable, slimy, and worthless, yet I exponentially craved more dopamine...

I’m currently on day 39 of a hard mode reboot, and have noticed a few positive things. However, I’m starting to have very intense fetishes based fantasies about real women I used to see, my brain no longer thinks about porn but the temptation to masturbate to the thoughts of these women or to...

Hey guys, I’ve been completely obstaining from pmo AND not looking at women on tv, youtube ect for 37 days. I feel some minor improvements but nothing like what most others seem to experience by this stage. I get small little glimpses of “color” back in my life but they are so fleeting and most...

Hi there - I've been lurking on NoFap for a while and decided it was time to get a reboot thread going. Background: 33M, married 6 years, 2 kids 4 & 1. Been using porn since about age 12 or 13, daily use (or more) except for brief gaps throughout that whole period. Also had some issues with...

Hey all. So I have struggled with addiction for around two decades. It was not always porn; weed, and other things. Over the past two years, between hard times, covid, the horrors of online accelerated college and chronic pain(and this was the result of a medicsl misdiagnosis) that recently...

So yeah it's been a ride, but stayed clean, PMO free only thanks to God and His Son Jesus. You can read how this streak started here - https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/a-year-clean-waited-this-for-3-yeaaars.278988/ I can tell that it's a much more spiritual battle than physical...

Hi everyone, First of all, I just wanted to express my gratitude for everyone that is on this forum. Without you, I would not be able to share my experiences with porn, and the negative effects it had on my life. Hopefully, in time, I will be able to look back and say that along with other...

Hello everyone, I'm new on this website but happy to share some success with NoFap. I see that there aren't many stories of bisexual/gay guys on this website so I hope to add to that. I've been trying to quit porn for at least 2 years. I think I was 16 or 17 when I thought to myself that I...

NoFap hard mode and so-called "monk mode" is nonsense. Allow me to clarify. Your sex life is no video game! What is with these "modes"? Either you are on NoFap or not. I am on what you might call "normal mode", which is essentially what NoFap is by definition. I abstain from any and all...

At start urges were high but I was pretty optimistic and good. But, now feeling depressed. Don't know whether it's flatline or what. Anyways, nofap is very great. All the benefits are real and I can feel those as everyone mentions them. It's worth it I bet you.

I am starting Nofap on 16 December 2020. I struggled a lot in 2020 to quit pmo but failed and i regret. I made Progress this year i brought down the frequency of pmo from 2/3 times per day to 4/5 times a month. I Pray to the God 2021 and further life will be the pmo free for Me and You. This...

Hey guys. I am new here and I'm just curious how peoples experiences have been with hard mode while being married or dating? Is it recommended? I have been reading about the benefits of it and it sounds like a good challenge but I'm worried about my wife and the affect it will have on her. Maybe...

Hi everybody! I am new to this forum, have seen the name a couple of times in the past but have never really done anything with NoFap until this day. I am a 24-year-old guy from the Netherlands. I work as a freelancer/business owner, workout about five times a week, practise yoga, go for runs...

So I’m on day 38 hardmode as of now, and every day my urges have been getting stronger and stronger. I wake up with a raging boner, and get headaches throughout the day not to mention, I’m not really happy. I’ve also noticed I’ve been craving sweets a lot more. Can anyone tell me if there is a...

I have written the story of my life many times, so I'll summarize it: I'm from Argentina. I started watching porn when I was 13. I had serious problems to communicate with people, even with my family. I used to be extremely selfish. I only cared about myself. The only 2 time in my life that I...

Im ashamed of myself that Im even doing this.... So about me.. Im fairly "normal" I have no problem with getting laid, I just have a PMO addiction Ive been fighting with for years. Im ADHD Hypersexual, probably two times harder than a regular person cause my mind craves the sh*t out of...

Hey, I'm new around here even though I'm 61 days into Hard Mode. I've been having urges as of late and haven't hit the flatline I thought I would have 61 days in. My girlfriend is really supportive and she's been helping me for almost 2 years now with some success, until I discovered NoFap...

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone here has tips for dealing with the supercharged erections I am getting for doing 1 week of hard mode? It's interrupting my sleep as if I wake with one it takes forever to go down and the morning wood comes with insane horniness almost every day. Although it'll be...

I was getting MW, spontaneous erections and could get hard by masturbating to fantasy but i relapsed 3 days ago (started having porn flashback right after orgasm) and now i am back to PIED/flatline. Today is my 3rd day of Monk mode. This is my first thread/post so let me share my history -- I...

Greetings NoFap community, What a terrible thing porn is. I feel as though it had a firm grip on my well being, affected through an actual grip on my penis, for the better part of my life. Since age 11 I had been watching porn frequently, it was very much a part of the culture for boys of my...

hey everyone, first post on here. I discovered nofap late this Jan coming out of a faithful 10-year LTR in Dec. I moved long distance & with covid and strong lack of rebound desire, I landed on hardmode. Tried w/ MO relapse 3-4 times lasting a week or 2 at a time. Finally, was able to hold...

I am 24 going on 25 and I have had serious PIED for 4-5 years, to the point where I couldn't even get full erections during PMO, but I still get morning wood sometimes. I have been without PMO for 2 months. I have not seen any improvement, though with the issue being as bad as it is, I wasn't...

Hello Guys, i was thinking about buying some Motivational Posters to fill my Room with and make it look better, and one Poster i thought about getting is one of a Hot Women (from behind, like you see her from the back) with Dumbbells working out. That Poster is supossed to come as some...

Hello, I'm MindPoison, and I have an addiction to masturbation. I am a college student entering the final year of my bachelors, and for the last nine years I have masturbated nearly every day, multiple times a day, sometimes to porn, but mostly to attractive women on social media. In the last...

Two years of NoFap (hard-mode) - How it all began and how it helped me turn my life around I apologize for the delays in delivering this long and detailed life-story of what my life looked like during my PMO-days (and what made the tide finally turn) but life has been quite busy overall and I...

Hello, I'm a new user here but I've heard of NoFap. I'm a 19 year old male who's having difficulties with porn. My issue began about a year ago and it's been constant relapses since then. The period between the relapses was usually around 2-3 months but the intervals have been getting much...

The 24th February was certainly a special day for me since it not only meant two months left to my birthday, it also meant I celebrated two full years of NoFap hard-mode! But the way it all started and took off was actually quite random and not really planned from the very beginning and this...

So it’s about day 21 in my partners NoFap journey. He is doing no PMO mode. We have been doing karezza for a few days but my partner thinks that he ejaculated a little by accident earlier, but didn’t orgasm. Is ejaculation a relapse for him? He’s been in flatline and he feels like he is still...

Hello fellas! I am not going to make this post several pages long and tedious to read since I rather make one such for the two year anniversary in February, but as we left the former decade behind us only a few days ago, it also marked 2019 as my first PMO-free year since my childhood in the...

Hi guys, I am on nofap hard mode and it has been 13 days now,I am wondering if I should reset or not in this situation: I watched like 7 minutes of porn and barley touched my penis,should I reset or not? This is one of my great streaks,I am feeling really discouraged to reset but I don't if the...

Hello ex-wankers, As the title says I’m a medical doctor in the UK formerly of the British military. A wee bit of background for you. Recently, I was forced to take some time off of work due to poor mental health and a failed suicide attempt. I got in into psychotherapy and from working with...

Before making my challenge I want to gauge interest into how many people would like to do a serious meditation challenge. I will go by the Vipassana meditation practice of 2 hours a day, an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening for a 30 day streak. There will be levels like the Super...

Hello folks, hope you all are going strong and doing fine. It has been a very long and very rough journey, didn't even thought I could make it, but here we are now. Goals are still the same (NoPMO as a lifestyle, to reduce anxiety/depression, better stress handling). Hard mode is still on. So...

Part 1/4: Hello all fapstronauts! This long post (or novel rather) is dedicated to all of you out there who are: currently struggling with PMO-addiction, those of you who are getting control over it and to those of you who have more or less mastered it. I make absolutely no judgment based on...

The last post I made on this forum was, A very detailed journal. 120' days. Discussion in 'Success Stories' started by Sinfree, Dec 22, 2016 Almost 3 years has passed since I completed my first 120 days of Nofap. Today, I am here to briefly share my new outlook on life after 2 years of Monk...

Hi :emoji_hand_splayed: New guy here. Happy this community exist!:emoji_pray: :emoji_pensive: The problem: Since my 14th i'm fapping and increased more with porn since my 17th. So I have trouble in social interaction and maintaining relationships. As I learned over time after some soulsearching...

It’s my third time hitting 30 days.I wanted to say it’s an amazing journey with a lot of ups and downs. Benefits:-more confidence -more happy - I’ll feel better overall -no brain fog -I can talk easily in public Cons:-I’ve had a wet...

I found this community on a whim of trying to quit P... again. I dove right in and started a journal less than an hour after finding poking around the site. Somehow, it's been [relatively] easy to stay 'clean' this past week compared to other times I've tried to quit. I'm wondering if it's...

Hi everyone, Summary - 10 years PMO, suffering from death grip and extreme DE (only by M during sex). Currently on Day 3 after 6 relapses. The story I'm 24 and have been indulging in PMO since 10th grade (was around 14-15 I guess?). So yeah, it's been 10 whole years of PMO, sometimes up to 6...

Hey guys, I have been dying for the past few days. I just was randomly hit with a wall of anxiety a few days ago, out of nowhere. I wasn't even slightly anxious before that. I have been having panic attacks and been fearful that I am going crazy. I have dealt with this some in the past, but...

hey guys, so i’m new to all this. i’m on day 20 of hardmode, and i started because i tried having intercourse with my new gf (first one) and couldn’t keep a hard on. it freaked me out thinking it was my first time and how i couldn’t keep it up. we tried again a week later and i got soft right...

Just want to check in and report. Make a habit out of it. Did it for 30 and 60 days, doing it for 90 days as well. This is my PR, every day from this point onward is a PR. I was pretty stuck and a bad case, so if I can do it all of you guys can too. Some improvements from 30 days ago. Social...

Guys it’s day 3 for me but I still wake up semi hard and still unfortunately stroke the bed a little in the morning:( is this a relapse I have not watched porn or masturbated. Going for hard mode for atleast a year I have PIED since I was 21 and I’m now 27. Wasted a lot of time and trying to get...

Hello everyone reading this, I've been off and on to porn, hentai, fantasies ect... Last year i got injured playing sports and then two weeks later got out of a toxic relationship. I was depressed, contemplating suicide and just not happy with myself I figured out that my problem was over...

I don't really know in what end to begin when writing this post but I will try to make it as cut-and-clear as possible without having to write pages of boring and mundane reading: Last Sunday, an entire year had finally passed on my NoFap-Journey and I must admit that I am very proud of this...

Hello, I am a hard mode rebooter. For the past month I seem to be stuck in this loop where I just can't cross the three day mark. I usually reset on day 2 or 3. When I first discovered nofap in the beginning of this year, I was able to complete a 4 day streak and then a 10 day streak. But lately...

I haven't masturbated since Sunday. Which is good; I'm happy about that. I felt like I had to start "hard mode" because porn was really causing serious problems in my life. I feel like it's always caused problems. I found myself masturbating for 3-6 hours sometimes. It ate up massive portions of...

Hi, Fapstronauts and Femstronauts! There's so much I could say about my long, soul-crushing struggle with porn, but I'll try to summarize. Suffice it to say, I have some very strong, personal feelings about porn and the way it's damaged me for the better part of my life, so I'd almost have to...

On my first attempt on NoFap, I made it 49 days hard-mode/monk-mode (No PMO, no MO, no “just one little peak”). It’s been over two years since I started NoFap. I must say, the first attempt was definitely the easiest to do. It took me a TED Talk video to scare the hell out of me and I declared...

I am currently on Day 35 hard mode. I want to start off by saying that I was NOT addicted to PMO. I would probably watch porn at most twice a week but the shitty feeling that I used to have after watching it was unbearable. I am mainly doing this to kill my social anxiety. I have always had...

i have a chronically tight pelvic floor due to poor masturbation techniques over the years (constant kegeling to reach orgasm ASAP). i have problems with pe, pied, and urination. i do however have a gf who makes me O almost every day, which leads me to ask: should i switch to hard mode to...

So, I know this term may sound familiar to a lot of people in here, but I embrace part of MGTOW philosophy. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate women at all, I have lot of female friends and have had lot of relationships/hook ups/sex trough my entire life. I'm not going to go to deep into why i...

Hi there, I'm 27 years old from the UK. I am a full-time university student, hoping to overcome my addiction to pornography. I have been using pornography for approximately 15 years. I started out masturbating to pictures of half-naked women I found in the back of Playstation magazines (in...

I'm about to complete 30 days on hard mode and since the beginning of the 3rd week I started to have severe sleeping problems. Even after a tiring day in College and working out I can't sleep at night, I feel my body and mind exhausted but I just can't sleep. It also happened last week, when I...

Yesterday, I relapsed due to exam anxiety after abstaining through Hard Mode for 113 days. I was having extreme panic attack, and I was not able to calm my self down. So I closed my studies tab, and surfed some porn. And while doing so I got semi-hard, and didn't react strongly, as I used to...

Hi NoFap community, Hi everyone this is my 9th day of no pmo and I have started feeling withdrawal symptoms they are really worst. I am feeling anger, anxiety, nervousness, depression, and totally unmotivated I am fed up of this. This is totally as shit. I wanted to know till how many days...

I am starting hard mode today and i will share my experiences on hard mode NOFAP. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.....

Im currently on a 122 day streak (i know i just joined the forums, ive been on reddit much longer). All of my "superpowers" have disappeared. Brain fog is back, my inability to love is back, and my confidence levels have sunk a little bit (not all the way, im actually able to talk to girls i...

i wanted to write my story of what happened this past week. About 10 days ago I hurt my back and had to spend many days in doors and laying down. My daily routine fell off and I wasn’t able to exercise at all. Apart of the treatment for my back was to sleeep with a pillow between my legs...

I’m new to NoFap to support my partner who has struggled with porn addiction in the past. He hasn’t watched porn or masturbated in a very long time and our sex life seems healthy to me. But he’s a firm believer in the physical and mental effects of abstaining. He now wants both of us to go nine...

Here is my story (I am currently 23), a few years ago my girlfriend got baptised... so I went very being sexually active to sexually inactive (except from on the rare occasion). It was after this point that my PMO use increased from its "normal" habit to a more persistent problem with PMO...

Social media specially FB and IG have been the 90% of my triggers. 90% of my relapses have been because of that. The others, weed and alcohol. Remove triggers are essential to win the war. I´m almost in day 90. So it´s my first goal accomplished!! Despite all the benefits I have felt, I think...

Hi Guys I have been practicing Semen Retention for many years. However, I still sometimes look at porn and edge, which I want to stop. I have found huge benefits from retention, in fact I feel amazing for it. Would be interested in chatting to others who are practicing this. Damon

I am the wife of a PA & we are fairly new to this journey. Currently we are having sex; we both thought it was almost necessary for us to heal & connect. However, it was mentioned by our therapist that we abstain from any sexual behaviors for 30 days. Um,, what? I totally get the PA refraining...

The whole week i avoided all sorts of things which cause arousal, but still I have been getting frequent erections as a result pain in balls. The pain lasted few hours and happened for two days, so i had to MO to get the load off, is this normal? How to avoid this? I want to start again today...

I have no idea what it meant, but it was something that I've never experienced before. I know I had 2 Noctural Emmissions because after each time I got up to pee (and to change into something a little more comfortable, lol). One of the NEs was linked to a dream, but it wasn't overly sexual or...

Hello Fapstronauts, I joined the forum about a month and a half ago but never got around to introducing myself. I think I was still figuring out what I wanted to say, even though I have been pretty open about my story in my reboot log here. A part of me just didn't want to be judged I guess...

yes i was in NoFap, not even had sex, not even talked with girls, i have completely dittached from anything that griggers me sexual obsession. ive been roughly over 90 days of NoFap. recently i come to relapse, then i noticed my penis was more than an inch taller than it was before i started...

For 174 days I'm abstaining myself from PMO. Not a single drop of sperm in 174 days, until now. After I've returned from vacation my libido has been at its peak, yet I have no urge to PMO. This morning I wake up at the limit of orgasm. It happened before but I always woke up before ejaculation...

Guys i was a heavily addicted to PMO, porn, and obsessively doing 4-6 times of ejaculation a day... luckily i come to know about this wonderful #NOFAP which not only changes addiction, also changes a person life entirely productive and making ourself better... as of now ive completed 65 days of...

Hey guys, here my story about 93+ days of hardmode: First I have to say I'm German, so I will try to write this in English. I did PMO since I'm 14 years old and thought its completly normal. Most of my friends got a girlfriend or had sexual contact in school. I'm a virgin until now. I had...

Hello everyone, So I'm in my longest streak so far, 13 Days, nearly 2 weeks, past week was just great, I've been exercising, meditating, and a little bit of self-care (and of course a lot of sexual thoughts, which I always try to dodge) but out of sudden for the last 2 days I noticed that I've...

Hi, I am a 28 years old Indian resident who got introduced to PM by my friends when I was 15 or 16. At that time,I found that M is an amazing feel and P just multiplies this feeling to such a great extent. I was hooked to it, and it became an addiction. Now, I am trying to get out of PMO...

Hey folks, sorry if this post is overly similar to others. Basically same issue that I've seen others write about, starting out with really softcore material (my first favourite masturbatory material was a Britney Spears album cover that I stole from my sister!), before getting into porn. Wanked...

Hi everyone, I just completed my 90 Days of NoPMO and I thought that I'd share my story. Before I dive into my experience and opinion of it, I just want to preface my story to say that one of the main reasons I decided to do this is not because I have anxiety or because I felt like I watched...

Hello everyone, Just to let you all know this post is a little long so bear with me. I've only just joined however I'd like to talk about my own personal challenge I began a while back inspired by NoFap. I wanted to have a go, and so I decided back in December that I would not watch...

Hey guys, I went to a strip joint last night and got dance from a girl. I was curious as to whether this counts as a relapse or not?I did get hard while she was dancing on me and Im on and Im doing hard mode.

Hello everyone! I guess this is the beginning of my journey, although I guess it's not the first beginning. I just turned 24 and I decided it was a good time to start a new life. A life without fapping. I started at least 10 years ago, and while I have gone varying periods without, porn and...

Hello everyone,I don't know if I'm doing this right. I'm a "girl" (actually agender but since this "project" involves genitals I want to be clear about my biological gender). I tried many times to quit,more than 30,and my longest time without PMO has been 15 days. I began NoFap in December,but...

Today is my 60th Day with no PMO. There have been good days and bad days, but since I committed myself to this journey in early April I have not had a relapse. For me, the most important factor for success has been my prayer life. Followed closely by my morning meditation and exercise...
