I want to start this diary to share with you my journey of getting to know this girl over the years and eventually falling in love with her, even though I did not want to. The year was 2013, we met in high school when she was just 17. She was the best friend and a classmate of my high school...

Hey guys, Life has been monotonous. I can see and visualise the life that i want and ik is waiting for me but somehow all these years I can't reach. I just turned 24 and some things need to change. First is obviously fapping. Its been a while that I havent watched porn but I've ben fapping...

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...

The longer you go on your seed retention /pmo journey, you will notice people around you will start to envy you a little bit, It could be how the way you dress, how you look, how much money you have, how much women attracting, they can even be hating on you because of your personality. Either...

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...

So 2 Months ago I decided that I'm gonna try cold showers and do them daily. At first, it was annoying, and I'm not gonna lie, it still is xD. However every time I take a cold shower, I feel more "empowered". Cold showers are not enjoyable and when you hop in your head starts saying "don't do...

14 years of addiction, 7 years of nofap trial and error. I tried many different techniques, such as surge surfing, not counting days, meditation, exercise, changing my environment, planning my day, keeping myself busy, and changing my mindset. But nothing ever worked. Today, I learned the bitter...

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...

After binging P these last few days I realize I need to delete my collection and try to live porn free. Part of me is attached to these and obviously doesn't want to but after posting this I'll get rid of everything and start fresh.

I'm new to this site, so I'm hoping that this is the right forum to talk about my lack of motivation to do nofap recently. The last time I PMO'd was January 2021 which was almost two years ago (I stopped counting the days a while ago). I've heard of many nofap benefits mentioned by people on...

I wont be sharing my personal story right now, but growing up i was really skinny, and 2 years ago i bulked from 75 to 90KG. Now im at 85-87KG and i want to be 100KG pure muscle. It’s been 2 years since i bulked seriously and i just cant seem to get it. Any tips? I want to look like Mike Tyson btw…

I have started living my life in a Much Better way compared to my past. First of all I made a Year plan in which I have written all the Goals I want to achieve in this Year. Then I made a Monthly plan of this Month (July). And then I made a Week target list and have kept Scores/Points for each...

Age 17. Its been a while since I've posted on the forum. During the interim I've had successes, losses, days that I've felt like I've peaked out and days that I honestly believed I couldn't complete the 200 day streak without P that I currently am on now. Since I've last posted, although I've...

hello guys, new fapstronaut here. if i’m being honest i’ve been on here a lot of times. I wasn’t really feeling at peace before, a lot of things was on my plate but they’re getting down the drain little by little. so, the basic reason i’m here is to cure my porn & masturbation issue. I can’t it...

hey guys, new member here. i’m cliff, a porn & masturbation addict. it’s held it’s grid on me for the longest of time and I think it is high time I stop cause it’s affecting my life is a negative way. i’ve noticed how antisocial i’m becoming, I don’t communicate with people anymore, my friends...

I was thinking of writing a success story in a few days, as it was going so smooth for me that it was hard to believe even for me. I started my only P streak about 40 days ago, and I almost got rid of it just before today. I never had any thoughts of watching P, and you wouldn't believe that...

Its been just a little bit more than a week for me, but I already am feeling great! less socially awkward and with a greater self steem, it also helps the fact that I stoped smoking pot; I know I am still riding the flat line as some times before, but this time I am not alone, its good to know...

I'm wondering is there a daily limit like reaching the limit of the absorption of protein in a day after which the body can not take/use more? Theoretically if you can lose x amount of testosterone suddenly (as in after rapsing), then it should also work in reverse and you could raise it to the...

Hey all, Something happened recently that has really affected my life, brought me into a downward spiral. In short, I've had a porn addiction since I was about 12-13 years old (19 now). Of course, after this prolonged exposure to porn, it naturally escalated to more taboo and intense...

Ever since I started this I can stop looking at people's bodies, my brain almost does it automatically. Does anyone have any tips to cope with this?

Hey everyone, it's funny but this website came up in search while actually browsing porn...Well I guess I need to introduce myself. Not sure if real data is necessary but I guess I will stay with my username for now. I live in US, immigrant from Eastern Europe, 29 years old and right now is the...

Hi guys, Have you noticed such things? I have noticed that when I start my NoFap journey my life becomes very unproductive.I noticed this every time when I start the journey.Please help me with some tips and tricks.

After observing what all my inspirations have in common, I discovered that they are all respected, exclusive and universal (meaning they are unique but everyone loves them). I do not believe there is a path to success as those who think they got there say, I do think it is a special and...

Hi guys, I want to start meditate, have you some tips for which one is the best? I tried mindfullness for one month but I didn't feel improvements. My goal with meditation would be to relax... maybe someone can share his opinion? Thank you all!

Hello friend I am writing journal for the first time. Here I would discusse the changes that I am observing in my life. Person short History:- I am trying to give up this addiction from mid 2019which I always considered as bad habit only, but, lately understood that it is an addiction for me...

One of the most effective motivation for me to start NoFap was the guilt of it after I was done fapping. I've completed 21 days today and I'm already feeling much alive than I was 21 days back. I'd always find a reason to fap, the smallest stimulations would get to my brain. Its like I've never...

Hey guys! I have recently made a discord server with the main purpose being sharing our experiences and progress on this EXTREMELY difficult journey of adapting to NoFap as a life style through journaling. Every day members will share their daily journals and members of the server will be able...

Recently I started reading "Why we sleep" by Matthew Walker. I have yet to finish the book but yesterday I came across the chapter about REM sleep. After reading this chapter it all clicked all of a sudden, how porn affects the abillity to get a good amount of REM sleep and how that in turn...

Hello!! I just wanted to know what are some of your good and bad habits, this is because I think that our habits either create a path to redemption or simply destroy the path. For example some good habits that I have are: - Reading a book before sleep - Putting down all of my devices after 11...

Are there any good sites for self improvement for men that you can recommend. Along with NoFap I'm seeking websites that I can use to build up my character and improve myself. At the moment I'm frequenting Return of Kings and the Art of Manliness. Also using lots of youtube videos. I'm not a...

So yesterday I had a binge and I was in that binge mentality and I knew I had to break away from it and get on with my nofap streak because that was what was important. Today is day 1 and I started my streak last night at midnight. During the night I’ve been having these ocd thoughts (which...

2019 turned out to be a huge step forward for me. I developed myself physically and mentally by forming new good habits like working out, reading, meditating and journaling. I also quit or reduced some bad habits, like snacking, sleeping irregularly and procrastinating. The list of improvements...

I started nofap 307 days ago, i relapsed after the first 6 months. Some people thought i didn't relapse in 307 days. I didn't reset my counter i thought it would help me. But i was wrong, after that i pmoed for weeks. Then i went a month then i relapsed again. Before nofap i only abstained from...

Hi everyone, im new here, I'm a 21 years old guy, i have been trying to quit my addiction for a year but i always failed. I manged to go for 2 months without pprn but in the end i always relapsed, right now i'm in a two weeks streak. My main problem is always been my way of think about girls...

I wondered whether any SO's in this forum could talk about what it looks like when their partner is putting in the work and having success with removing P from their lives? There's so many threads and discussions regarding what addictive behaviour looks like and addiction patterns, and I...

Sometimes I wonder how much I f***ed up my life. I am 38, I had a tremendous potential 20 years ago. I finished one of the best on one of the hardest High Schools of my country, there were pictures of me in local newspapers because I ripped in chess. I was this mathematics / scientific guy...

Towards the end of my schooling career I felt, for the first time, that I really belonged. I was a House Cpt and a Valedictorian in my graduating year, and although I wasn't particularly popular with students, I was accepted and had strong relationships with my teachers. In my Valedictorian...

Hello hello, I am male and in my 20s, it's safe to say I'm addicted to porn and masturbation (I can't fight my temptations and my brain just jumps to it and before I know it I've done the deed... Addicted, yes?). I realise how long the problem has gone on for when I think back to a young age...

So I have decided to begin a new NF streak today. Something about myself: I am a student from Germany and I am going to do my A levels next year in May '20. Generally I am quite good at school but it doesn't really bother me as I believe grades do not tell much about abilities. The next 12...

Log the things you have done that push you out of your comfort zone, make you anxious, scared, etc. It can be anything. The only way past it is through it.

I stumbled across this book by Kelly McGonigal that talks about practices someone can adopt to boost their will power; which I think is essential for Fapstranauts. I'm linking a video to her google talk below: Here's her goodreads book link if anyone wants it...

My Decision: On March 29, 2019 I took the decision to change my life to the better through implementing new good habits and eliminating old bad habits. The rule is pretty simple; I’m tackling one habit at a time. Because all the habits are not the same, the time allowed to each one can vary...

Guys I am struggling hard to quit this terrible porn habit. Admittedly, I have tried to quit many many times this past 6 months, yet I always seem to end up relapsing in a moment of passion or justifying going back somehow in my head. (only to massively regret immediately after release) I feel...

Lately i've been hearing a lot about child showers. I want to try it but not without a complete knowledge about it. Can anyone tell what it's all about and how and when to take them. And how are they beneficial?

I ended my 6 day streak just now by PMO felt my Brain responding to porn lil sensitivity compared to that what it used to be before my streak but I destroyed my 6%+ completed no pmo 90 days challenge but the quality and quantity of my semen was way better than what it used to be before my streak...

So, this is for distraction from porn and faping. Post your drawing, painting or any artwork and see improvement after time. I hope we can connect this way, and good luck.

Questions to consider How can I improve my diet? Do I get lots of liquid or brick shits? What kind of diet is the best, if it fits your macros , keto, vegan, carnivore ect.? What works for you? I could improve my diet by limiting the amount of processed food I consume.

I've experienced some form of brain fogging and I believe it's because of my pmo addiction. I've come to this conclusion by the drop in my grades that I've observed before and after I've got exposure to pmo. Is this inability to make clear decisions and visualizations because of lack of...

Hello guys, So I am trying to improve myself everyday as far as i can. But when i watch a video (on YouTube) talking about girls, how to approach, talk etc... and when i see theses interactions with the girl on their video, i got an erection unconsciously and i don't feel to fap or have sex...

I'm not expecting many replies to this but here's a brief story: I've never cared about stray animals until I got a cat myself, in my neighborhood there's probably 30 cats around. Shortly after adopting my cat there was some food she didn't like so I decided might as well give it to the strays...

I've been trying NoFap since February 11th, since then I relapsed a lot of times, and my longest strike still to this day is just 14 days. I registered my whole process each day focusing on whatever lead me to fap each time. It would be for another day to share here some grahpics I've made for...

RELAPSES are difficult to deal and comes to terms with. More so after having a long streak without PMO. For me, it has been difficult to say the least. After relapsing from a long streak (of 82 days), recovering from the relapse has been really difficult. From experience, the longer the streak...

Hello guys! What is the 30-DAYS PLANK CHALLENGE ? The challenge consists in holding the plank position everyday, for some seconds, for 30 consecutive days. I recommend to have a look at some fitness videos on the correct plank position to hold. This exercise strengthens your core, lower back...

Even though I'm only 3 or 5 days without PMO I feel good already nothing better than the feeling when you win against an urge.

WITH making NoFap a lifestyle choice for nearly a year now as I write this. It’s been a great background catalyst in improving me and my life. Dealing with triggers, urges and relapses have been real learning curves for me. But tackling and overcoming my addiction to porn has made a bigger...

I'm 16 years old. Ever since I was 14 I dreamed of trying MMA fighting. Why? I've never been in a fight, I've never done any other martial arts or anything and I don't know if I would be good at it, but I feel like I might be or I think I might at least enjoy it... You see... I have a pretty...

Hi guys, I'm on day 25 and have had my ups and downs. I've improved myself but there's still one thing that I've been struggling with the most, which is also the reason I joined NoFap. That is, social anxiety. I've read a lot of forums, quora questions, and seen a lot of RSD (Real Social...

hi! I just relapsed again and every time I do I basically screw things up, I become anti social and shy. What can I do to speed up the recovery and make this a bit easier for me? Thanks!

Hi, This is going to be a long post but might be worth reading for some of you who is just starting out. I started NoFap journey 9 months ago. I started because I realized that I had PIED and I wanted to change. I came across NoFap. I was skeptical at first but then deicded to give it a go. Its...

I always thought that masturbating was Ok and normal, every animal in the nature did it etc., etc. Now, since I found NoFap I don't quite see it like that anymore. And I dropped a really strong Christian belief because of that, since I was born in a Christian family. I feel that NoFap might...

Hello guys! I just hit 33 days hard mode. Before deciding on nofap When I used to watch porn daily and/or masturbate, I just had no dreams while sleeping. In past 30 days I dreamt more often & they are somewhat sexual in nature. Yesterday it was very vivid and passionately sexual(without any wet...

Always my hands wander off to my laptop or mobile in search of something to elevate my dopamine levels. But what I do is simply go to nofap and start reading threads. It's a beautiful distraction actually.

I'm planning on seeing a sexologist in order to have guidance, support, and just a better understanding of how to overcome PIED, General/Performance Anxiety and overall improving my lifestyle and my habits. Has anyone ever gone down this route? Of seeing a professional on their personal sexual...

AS a lot of people talk about having cold showers, and the benefits of having them. Thus, recommending them to others. But what about cold baths? The thing is, I don’t have cold showers. I have cold baths. One of the main reasons I have one is because I don’t have a shower in my bathroom. So, I...

SINCE quitting PMO, but also quitting social media. I have a lot more spare time and energy in my hands. To combat boredom and loneliness, I have been looking to find hobbies and activities to do. To keep me busy and pre-occupied. I've been going out on walks. Been reading books, but also...

The whole reason i had started rebooting was because i lost all my friends due to my addiction to PMO. It made me distant. My longest lasting reboot was... I think 19 days and it wasn't as hard as i exepcted which is why I am not too impressed with my current number of days... 6. However what...

Hello! simple guy trying to better himself. Diclared war on Friday found out about this website a few minutes ago :)

Okay, There's a big hole in my life that needs filling, and that hole is a hobby. Sure, i walk 12km every few days, but that's more to get fit than enjoyment. For the rest of my time, all I do is sit on my laptop and binge on YouTube vlogs and gaming videos etc., but I want to get an actual...

The time we have is very limited and it should be spent wisely. In my short lifetime, I have failed myself multiple times and for the past few years porn was always there to let me feel sorry for myself and encourage me to fail myself even more. In times of great pressure and stress, porn is a...

I came across a TED talk on willingness a little while ago, and Ive made such great progress on my battle with porn. I havent watched it in weeks. I just wanted to share a link so that it might change other peoples lives as well. If youre struggling to quit watching porn, this might help you...

So I relapsed twice to day, both times to porn which is unusual for me, and I lost a 5 day streak (fuckkkk) but that's not what I'm posting about. Basically, I know what I want to do right know. I know what I want to achieve in life and with NoFap, and I know that I want to get rid of my porn...

So I just recently watched this video by the YouTube channel Improvement Pill about overcoming addiction and I feel that it's important that fellow Fapstronauts know about it. Now, recently I did a post about how our thoughts lead to relapse but in honesty there is more to it. Check the video...

Could someone please suggest a book or a blog to help deal with the type loneliness we deal with when in involuntary hard mode. Thank you

Alright, here's an interesting challenge that came to me. It's basically a mix of many challenges. So let's cut to the chase - 1. Start reading a book, maybe two maybe 3 , but finish it till 30 days from now.( I have picked up- Steve Jobs from Walter Isaacson, Zero to One from Peter Thiel and...

My Anger Issue:( I don't know if any of you experience this but sometimes I feel really really angry. Maybe it's because I don't meditate regularly or some nights go to bed too late, but I find that I'm always easily angered and frustrated especially when playing...

So I was looking for some videos that would give some insight as to HOW TO actually have some self control and keep urges as well as negative thinking away. I've come across this one, it's rather interesting and I have to say that the technique he describes is stupid simple and I've been...

I just wanted to put my two cents on here about something that I've seen a lot of and think is dangerous. I'm no behavior specialist so please don't condemn me for being too off base. Often I see people looking to improve immediately start off with plans that are extremely demanding. The plans...

Since being on and doing NoFap for the past month (despite the odd relapses), I've noticed a number of improvements and reaping the benefits of NoFap, and from quitting PMO altogether. Make no mistake, it's not always been a bed of roses when doing NoFap. The hardest period was the first few...

My no PMO streak is continuously rising, but is it bad to continuously orgasm with a partner? Would it be harmful to the reboot?

Once again today I PMO'd. It wasn't from an urge that just came about during the day. I planned it to be my last relapse before I give NoFap another shot. See the past two years I've had PMO-free streaks of four months and six months. Looking back it's unbelievable I've had that much success...
