health

Getting thru life while being high or drunk every other day is too easy now. It's a slippery slope toward mediocrity and numbness. It's also a burden on my wallet, so I need to create more psychological discomfort for myself to improve my life overall. Right now I'm 8 days in completely sober...

Let's start with a quote by Zen monk and teacher Shunryū Suzuki: "Sex is like brushing your teeth. It is good to do it regularly, it is bad when doing it all the time." Multiple choices are possible and encouraged for the poll below.

Hey everyone, I’ve been on this journey to get healthier and shed some pounds, but lately, I’m feeling a bit stuck. I’ve been doing some workouts and trying to eat better, but progress is slow, and it’s getting a bit frustrating. I have been through nutrition but there is nothing to help me...

First off, this sounds disgusting, but for the next 48 hours, I will not even brush my teeth (the artificial sweeteners in toothpaste spike insulin levels, thus keeping your body from experiencing the true benefits of a fasted state). No water consumption, no food consumption. No vitamins...

Hey all. I've been doing nofap for a very long time and I only felt nofap benefits in my early honeymoon phase of reboot. But as of recently and for a while I've literally seen no benefits. In fact it seems that I'm worse than I was as a pmo addict in many areas. I get mad anxiety around women...

You will not reap the ''benefits'' or ''superpowers'' if you don't do a dopamine detox. Yeah, you heard me right. I'm not saying you should quit everything that gives you pleasure altogether. The process need to be gradative. I realized that only abstaining from PMO was not enough to make me...

I'm currently on my longest streak in some time: 8 full days. It's a small win but I'll take it. I'm trying to stay disciplined toward a 90 day reset. I'm in my mid 30s and haven't been clean of p/m/o for longer than 3-4 consecutive weeks in at least two decades. I attribute my subpar health and...

I must fight no matter what comes after me as I'm not told by anyone to stay weak against problems and tensed due to them. Why not I fight them back like I had nothing to feel regret about. Like I was born to fight this challenge.

While I'm sure The Science™ hasn't established one, is it possible that there's a connection between sexual excess and gut permeability? I have this condition and deal with food sensitivities as a result. No one in my family, going back several generations, has ever had anything even slightly...

I have a little gyno in my left nip and I hate it, does anyone know/think nofap can have an impact on reducing it? Ive had it about 7 months or a little more. Thanks.

Okay, before I start a little disclaimer !! Don't search it all up because it may lead to a relapse (Your choice) So I have a simple question. I'm happy with my length down there but just like any other man, I wouldn't mind it being bigger/thicker. And yesterday I heard about "Jelqing" and I...

Eye floaters have long been associated with [excessive] p/m/o. Video above shares some insight as to how they may be dealt with.

I don't know if it's one or both of these things are handicapping me and hindering my progress. It seems to me that I really struggle with a fear of withdrawal symptoms and potentially a fear of success as well. In hopes of getting the thoughts and opinions of community members here, I'll...

I'm trying to do better and be better. I truly am. I no longer want to run away from my reality or my problems. Ideally, I want to face them head on, in a healthy manner. I'm failing miserably so far. My current streak of abstinence from p/m/o is only 4 days but it's the longest I've had in...

I've discovered nofap 2 years ago, I kept trying to stop, and I really cannot, even I know it's really bad for me, I am now in the step where I can't control myself any more, my longest streak was almost 40days, I really want to stop porn and fap forever, it damaged my whole body and my mind, I...

First of all, I understand – and everyone else should, too – that we're only sharing nonprofessional thoughts and opinions. I'm in my mid-30s and p/m/o has drained me (no pun intended) of my life force over the years. I know that it's probable at this point that I'm deficient in several...

Hey, I am a 27 year old male who has been addicted to pornography for the last 12 years. It pains me so much that this addiction has become way more compulsive than it was. Unfortunately now I do it even though I sometimes hate it. However, this was not what prompted me to do post this...

When quarantine came around, I started a weight loss journey that changed my life. I was able to lose 60 pounds through diet and low intensity exercise. I went from 230 pounds to 170 pounds from that March to August. I felt great. However, I have gained half of that weight back. Thirty pounds...

Has probably been talked about thousands of times here im here to do a calculation and share my experience from a few streaks The average ejaculation is 3.5 grams of sperm,it is stated in many sources that Zinc is 3% of the whole thing,so lots of people think,well i guess we fine then we only...

Hello, First of all, i'll give you a little context. I'm 27 and i have been fapping since i was 9 or 10 years old. In highschool, i masturbated a lot, sometimes i did it 3 and 4 times per day. But since 4 years ago, i discovered nofap and i have been fapping 1 time per week (that is the mean...

I have recently stopped posting on NoFap and abstaining from PMO altogether, but that is not my main problem. Unfortunately, I have let my myself go in terms of health and hygiene. Luckily, I have made a few improvements. One of the problems I had previously mentioned is that I do not take good...

I guess I got what I deserved. I lost a big streak too. On to the next day, I guess.

Just a year ago, I was becoming the best man that I could be. Aside from the obvious porn addiction being my only major problem, I was doing wonderfully. I had recently come off of a 60-pound weight loss, began growing out my hair, remarkably improved my hygiene, and focused intensely on my...

Ever since I could remember I was bullied for being obese. At my highest, I weighed 230 pounds at 16 years old. Keep in mind, this is with almost no muscle mass. I was eating fast food every other day of the week. I had a massive gut, tight fitting clothes, and yes... the dreaded man boobs. It...

I'm trying to give up my vices. I switched from YouTube, to Netflix, to games. I'm halfway to 30 days on nofap, which I've only done twice before. I'm aiming for 90 days, maybe a whole year, but hoping for the rest of my life. I want to break out of my bad habits and routine. I want to make a...

So I have become pretty fat during last couple of years. Mainly due to depression—me using food to sedate and distract myself when I feel like shit. I haven't weighted myself recently but I am approximating I am close to 300 pounds right now (maybe 285 or so), cos I was 275 last time I weighted...

Hi, I wanted to share my story with others to see if anyone else is going through a similar experience. I am new to the NoFap community but my journey with PMO addiction is one that started long ago in my early teens. I only recently decided to join the community after multiple failed attempts...

I love to experiment with my body when it comes to physical performance, movement, regeneration etc. and also seeing health benefits plus aesthetics of it along the way. I started exercising at 16 when I found out I couldn't finish a 2.5 mile run at our school sport class. The thing is, I always...

At 2:05 in the above video clip, a patient is seen by an Asian doctor. He is told that if he doesn't quit masturbating and conquer his addiction, he will experience "tooth ache, loose teeth, back pain, weak knees, exhaustion, depression, psychological disorders, impotence and erectile...

A couple of days ago, I edged for hours. This resulted in bad pain and I had to stop. It stopped after a few hours, and I finished. Today, Its not hurting, but i notice that if my balls shake there is a little bit of an ache. Anyone familiar with this.

i was just thinking that its so much nicer to do things outside, especially something that is perhaps practical - such as going out on your bike and do groceries while having a bit of workout, doing some gardening or landscaping instead of lifting dead weights, also - when you are at the gym...

Oh yes the 90 day nofap challenge is 1 month away! But guess what Im gonna start about 30 days early. Hope yall dont mind. This challenge is not going to be just about beating PMO. I am far from that. But taking the proper steps into being able to say that I have beaten porn in lets say a year...

Current streak: 392 days no PMO, semen retention. The easiest way to get rid of PMO or sexual imbalances is outdoor sports and long walks. The energy gets balanced if you do some running every day or some type of physical exercise. Exercise releases dopamine so less need to get it from porn...

So yesterday, I was in a pmo binge. I need to get out of it so I could continue and get on with abstaining and improving. I binged for 3 days and it causes a lot of anxiety. Last night, my last relapse was around 5 pm. I was going to do it again later after that, so I wasn’t really careful...

Hi guys, So I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, it's certainly self improvement and related to the circadian rymthms, so if this isn't the right place I hope the moderators will place it in the correct place, thanks in advance! Around the same time that I started PMO in my...

Human society as we used to know it is dead. We are more sexualized nowadays than ever before in human history. We see more naked bodies than all our ancestors together, and yet we have less sexual intercourses. They've killed our natural attraction towards women and implanted a compulsive...

I am alone. Extroversion is conformity. Walking hours on end,how many normies do you think can put up with that? And I live in a tropical island with comfortable weather. Discuss a book with them? Most of my "friends" think reading is boring,and that's the worst kind of censorship.Listening to...

The thing is that in these days I've been dating a girl (nothing had happend yet) and when I think about her I want to fap, but I don not...

So I had done a fair bit of research a couple years ago in the field of trying various smart drugs or nootropics. I never really did get into them apart from the odd dabbing of Adderal or Ritalin but they are more for abuse than for actually trying to feed the brain. Anyhow I got a supplement...

Hello, updating you and asking you about what to do next after my recent 16 days streak. I am not doing very well. You can read my PMO habit in my previous threads, I will keep it very short. Read below. I am a PMO addict since the last 6 yrs, it started with hot pics in magazines < YT...

If you can resist porn: great, learn to know women, connect with them, date them, have fun with them, have great sex with them. Ask yourself if you can’t resist porn: Why should a women be with you? Why with you, if you are dishonest, hiding things from her, make her insecure and only see her...

Hope everyone is doing good I would like to know the opinions of more experienced members about how much time it took for you to really heal from all the mental and physical damage porn and masturbation caused you. I have been addicted to this shit since I was like 13 and I am 27 now so I am...

Hey guys I need some advice. I ask that you please take this seriously. The last day I masterbated was December 5th. I’ve tried to quit many times over the decade I’ve been masterbating without any real success. The reason I stopped was my penis began aching for days to weeks after I...

Now let's be honest, I'm just some guy on the internet to anyone who reads this, but I want to share this idea for those who truly want to reach their goals in life. We all know that life is so much more than trying to beat an addiction. I think it would be sad if we let that part of life...

Hey everyone. So on my reboot I am looking into to purchasing some cream to help my P****. In the past I actually used Mr. Thick D**K. Which is a product for enlarging and healing. As far as I remember it didn't really help much. It did help circulation a little bit though or I was just...

Do you consider 'casual' / premarital sex good and healthy ? Is solitary masturbation less harmful than fornication (sex out of wedlock) ? What do you think of sexual purity (chastity, or abstinence for non-virgins) and sublimating the carnal pulses through positive outlets such as hobbies...

Brilliant video that's relaxing and informative to watch.

I just stumbled upon this reddit post, I think it might be interesting for all of you. When my father asked last week what I was doing on my phone, I told him that I'm writing on NoFap and told him that I am being abstinent. He immediately said "well, but it's good to prevent prostata cancer"...

Hi all, I have plethora of health issues.I am hoping that my continuing abstinence will assist me.When I was engaging in PMO I used it as an excuse not to make lifestyle changes.When I did so I lacked the clarity and energy to do what was needed. Can anyone else relate to this? If so any advice...

Buckle up, this is a long one. I have been addicted to sex, pornography and all the perversions within it for over half of my life now. Starting at an insanely early age, I was always drawn to sexuality, taboo topics and just the overall "forbidden" nature of it all. When I was only six or...

(Sorry if my English is bad) Yesterday, I watched a documentary about porn and it’s industry. Now I know definitely: I never want to watch porn again. In the documentary it was said that there are many women in the porn industry who are forced to do painful things for example. I don‘t know if...

Hello Everyone, I am a 19 year old male currently in college. I have been watching porn since I was 13. My use of porn has escalated after joining college. It has impacted my productivity, time management and also have made me more tired and distracted from before. I joined NoFap to end my porn...

Hey guys, I know my situation sounds weird but I’d appreciate any help at all if you’ve experienced something similar because it’s ruining my life. I noticed that if I relapse and finish within 5 minutes or so then I am usually fine. The problem occurs when I have urges and I try to repress...

So the whole point of this website and comunnity is to help people get in control of addiction and regain sexual health. Well, with that being said, I wonder if mastubation is actually good. If I do it a lot, I feel bad, yall know what it's like. But if I abstain for 2 weeks+, and then have a...

For me, one of the worst effects of years of PMO is dull eyes, dark circles (not so dark ) and half closed eyes which make me look tired all the time. While I am on NoFap, can anyone suggest supplements or remedies which can help to recover faster?

Importance of sleep: I have noticed that if I do not get a good night's sleep, the discretion & control power of the mind reduces. It is perhaps well known that lack of sleep can cause irritability for anyone. What it means for a NoFapper is that there are more chances of anxiety/frustration...
