intro

Hello, I am Andrew, The first time I watched pornographic films in 2018, I was a kid and didn't know what are the results of this, I said okay it is a natural thing and it's not a series problem, but after one year, in 2019, I watched a YouTube video about this and put me into a severe...

Perhaps connecting with others would make it easier? I notice it creeping back into my life during times of high stress. Stopping completely seems impossible at the moment, yet I feel like I must. I've tried multiple strategies, and I certainly have seen wins. It has been up and down, and I...

Hi community I just got emailed to introduce myself so here goes nothing. My name is Adam but I go by Grogsy lol. I am a 37 year young male who has been living with porn and masturbation addiction for 25 years now. My initial pornography use was with pictures and magazines when I was 11-13...

Hi, I'm a guy in my late 30s. I have for a long time had many hobbies and an active social life. Due to challenges over the past 2 years I have retreated and been less social. I actually went about 4 months of not Oing last year (I did PM during this time). I am in great shape as I...

Title says it all. At 12 years old I experienced porn for the first time. I knew I was addicted after my first sexual experience at 18. I was barely able to stay hard, couldn't finish and didn't know why. She advised that I stay away from porn for a while. Advice that was obviously ignored. Now...

Hey everyone! I'm a creative, fun-loving dude from Texas. After a couple of weeks of what seemed hopeful and encouraging, I have had a few days where I have been in a super unhealthy loop. I'm in a season of a lot of transition and change, so the stress has come up, too. PMO is so dangerous for...

Hello guys. I am new here, but not really, I was using this site from back in 2016 and now I have returned after so many years. because I wanna gain more control over my energy.

Reddit led me here and thought I'd continue my spiritual journey with a group of like minded individuals. A bunch of crazy-driven hardworking believers. I first discovered NoFap (and by extension Semen Retention) through cold showering. I noticed that after cold showers I didn't have the...

I started looking at porn when I was 9 or 10 I think. But it wasn't until 2009 when I was 23 that I fist realized it was an issue and started trying to quit. I didn't even know about porn addiction yet I just knew I was spending way too much time doing it and getting into weird territory. Then I...

Hello all, I suppose I am now one of the newest fapstronuats to join your ranks. I have been trying to kick this addiction since I was 13, but this is probably one of the most concrete steps I have taken thus far. I figured NNN was a great time to do the reboot. I'm going strong so far, but I...

Hi! These days, most people refer to me as Chelsea (Chels) if it’s easier. I am a twenty year old transgender woman (any pronouns are fine). I am not currently involved in any form of education, and my main professions are in creative writing and music. I have been a porn addict since I was in...

Greetings everyone So previously, a few years back i was known as Third_Eye. I tried quitting porn and masturbation while being on this website. However, i would also spread conspiracy theories and stuff on the forums and be annoying about it. I regret doing this, and it was extremely immature...

Hello! I love that this is an old-school "bulletin board" style website. Haven't seen one of those in a long time. I dig it! Where to start? I'm a 36-year-old father with a wife and 2 kids. I'm also, deeply addicted to pornography :-\ I've been that way since age 11. I felt intense shame at...

Hey all I'm ready for a change. Going head first into the 90 day PM-Mode challenge. I've been watching porn and masturbating since I was little, I can't even remember the age, when I found out that I could hit that dopamine button and all my problems would go away in that moment, I was a done...

Hi there, I am 22 year old male and am an undergraduate engineer from Britain I have been trying to give up masturbating on and off now for a good two and a bit years. I have made some progress sometimes (never more than a month), feel as though I am benefiting myself, but then ultimately...

Hello all, this is my first serious reboot attempt. Lurked the subreddit off and on for the last decade, but to my eyes half of the people there didn't really want to take this seriously, myself included. So here I am trying to do something different. The following questions are ripped from the...

Hi everyone, A while ago, the thought of posting my story on a "NoFap" forum absolutely terrified me, but ever since I have been at university, I am probably less ashamed and more open about this topic (I now realise that addiction is an aspect of my mind which is malleable and in a process of...

Hi there! I joined this site as I was greatly interested in NoFap. For me, I am at a period in my time where I face compulsive sexual behaviors. I have landed up in trouble in the past due to these complications, namely an unrewarding sexual encounter and being sextorted online at one point. I...

Hi, was here a little while ago and was going pretty good for awhile longer than I have in awhile 10 days, that urge was killing me and I failed again I’m mad at myself but this was my longest streak yet so I’m keeping at it I’m resetting the clock and giving It another go. I haven’t been using...

Hello fellow NoFappers. I was raised in a great household with a loving family. However, not everything was perfect. For example, I did not receive a lot of emotional attention and validation from my father, which I so desperately sought. Also, he was very emotionally authoritarian so my voice...

Hey everyone! I’ve been watching a lot of videos recently about how porn rewires your brain and how it messes with your dopamine levels, and I was shocked by this. I’ve also heard countless people say how NoFap has changed their lives. These two things have inspired me to reboot. I’ve been...

Hi! new here - sharing the below makes me feel vulnerable and silly. I've known about the community for a year now, but never had the courage to jump into it until today. I think a good way to start is to share my story and goal - although I'll be creating a rebooting journal tracking progress...

Hello NoFap members, This is Batty Belfry joining you on the rebooting and retention lifestyle. I started watching pornography since I was 17 and have handled my sexual urges better, but not completely, now in my early twenties. I recognize that I am attracted to women and for more than just...

Hi guys. I’m going to just do a life dump here. Been performing this exercise independently relatively recently, encourage other people to do the same and build up a narrative for themselves if they haven’t already (mine was fairly weak/blurred until relatively recently). Early childhood was...

Hello. I've been on here before, and have had a long struggle with porn and masturbation. I started in my teens and became addicted to it without fully realizing how big the issue was. The fact that it became a serious problem clicked back in 2016, but I kept going at it. I'd try to stop but...

I'll begin with the basics. Hello everyone, I am Decibel Auras. 26 years old virgin & a P.M.O. addict. I discovered M.O. (without P) when I was 11-12 years old, and this became my nightly thing for many, many years. Nobody really explained to me what was happening at the time, I just figured out...

Hey everyone, I am Nick and have quitted masturbation for 4 days now. I am feeling reborn already. It is not my first try though and I am hoping to go over my personal best of 45 days this time. I am also into self-improvement, fitness and martial arts. Glad to be here.

Hi Everybody, For many years, I've struggled with fapping and porn. I would tell myself that this shit is no good, huge waste of time, etc, but I could never stay away for too long. As my gf broke up with me a couple days ago, leaving me with some very complicated feelings, I fear that I'll...

My name is Zack Augustus and I am recovering from excessive porn use and masturbation for about 3-4 years now. I am now on Day 10 PMO free and feeling great, this time feels much different, each time i relapse and come back i am stronger! I also run a science based non-religious support group...

Hi guys! I'm Lichling and I'm new here, looking to get a new start on myself by giving up Porn for good. Today is day 3 for me but despite urges I'm feeling confident. This time around I've got more motivation than I've had in the past when trying to quit. Even though I'd really like to close...

Pornography destroyed my life... I couldn't find other words to describe the madness pornography and masturbation did to my life. I am a male who recently turned 31. I discovered masturbation when I was about 11, and porn when I was about 12 and it was a completely mesmerizing experience as I...

Hey guys, I'm a 28 year old dude, I've been milling around on this site for years probably, wondering if this was for me... I've recently lost motivation to go out and meet women, and haven't been actively engaging with them. I have a certain degree of depression and social anxiety already...

First time Fapstronaut here. I'm a 24 year old male, a doctoral student in a prestigious program for my discipline. I'm not really sure what I should say here. Well, through my consistent porn consumption for several years, along with my major clinical depression, my sex drive with my long term...

I am about to go mental right now. I just edged the hell out of today and I feel like I'm close to my wit's end. I just want to yell right now. Last time I felt like this was a couple of months ago. This feeling has brought me to desperately try something new and that's why I am here writing...

I'm here because, like many of you, I realized that internet porn was getting in the way of my life and that I would be much better without it. I'll share my porn addiction story on that forum. I've been porn-free for about a month and hope to never go back. Can't wait to make some friends here...

Hello all. I am a 19 yo student at VT with a big problem on my hands and a respectable sized problem in my hands. I have seen psycologists and psychiatrists, I have been medicated and called clinically depressed, I have experienced feelings of anxiety and inadequacy, I have tasted love and...

Hey guys, I am 20 years old, I was involved in PMO for 8 years. I have been trying to quit for several times. Over those years I had several good periods of refraining for 30 and 50 days a few times. But I lose those battles. I believe that this platform and community could help me to reboot...

Hello. I am a 20 year old male college student and I've been addicted to pornography since I was 11 years old. It has warped me. I believe I have erectile dysfunction and I strongly believe that I am not enjoying sex the same as much as I am supposed to. I have read online that sex can be a...

Hey guys and ladies around the world. So by now you've guessed that my name is actually not Homer Strange. Anyway, for as long as I can remember, I was first exposed to pornography at the age of 10 by a friend. I was so fascinated by it that I started fondling with myself and I liked the feeling...

Hey everyone! I am new to the NoFap community; I just created my account and am currently on Day 1 of my NoFap journey. I have decided to embark on a 90-day Monk Mode challenge because I believe that level will be most beneficial to me. I have been PMOing around 1-2 times per day (with frequent...

Hello. I like you to call me Dingo1. I really want to get rid of PMO and I'm here to help myself. I just started rebooting and wish good luck to you all.

Hey guys, I never thought I’d ever be sharing this kind of thing with total strangers but as I’ve lurked for a few days I’ve seen the love and support each one of you has for one another and I felt like I had to share a little about myself. I’m a 19 y/o male, I became addicted to P at a young...

Hello NoFap Community! I'm a 19 yo Indian male. I find myself resorting to PMO when I'm down/depressed/lonely. I feel like this is slowly taking over my life and destroying my motivation to do anything meaningful. Since my girlfriend and I are going to be in an LDR in less than a month, I...

Hello everyone. I've stopped by this forum from time to time and checked out a few threads. But never posted anything. The first time I checked it out I ended up feeling more hopeless to see so many other people with the same problem struggling to find a solution. Another time I got triggered by...

Hello community, Just want to introduce myself. I am "thisguy" - ashamed and disgusted with myself. Hope this place helps me restore the balance in my life and relationships. I have lost friends, family and my fiancee due to my addiction to porn and masterbation. None of them know why I act...

About me: 21 yr old British university student. Okay I'll start my first post with a run through of my struggles so far, as I'm currently on a 31-day PM streak, but have never taken the action of actually making an account until now: I've been exposed to P since I was about 12 - too long ago...

I was introduced to porn in the year 2007, now the year is 2018. It is high time that I take control over this habit and my life. I depend on fapping for sleeping. I do not want to depend on that for my sleeping. I want to be in control of my body. Even though I maintain healthy lifestyle(gym, a...

Hello fellow fapstronauts , my name is Mohamed , I'm 22 and as you can guess , I'm new . i made this account few weeks ago , but i haven't had much success , relapsing twice and not being able to hold a streak for more than a week which is pretty weird to be honest , because , until recently , i...

I’m 18 I started my journey before I found out about Nofap and have been watching porn almost everyday since I was 10 which left me with no motivation to do any homework, concentrate and even look for relationships all the way up till now. When I found out porn was a problem I cried for while as...

Hi all - Thanks for what you do here. I'm 23, turning 24 this year. Been watching porn since I was 13ish. I was always a lonely and depressed kid, and I can still remember wanting something, anything that could make me feel good about anything. Watch a few videos on the internet and touch...

There is an old japanese proverb that says: A man has three faces: The one he shows to public, The one he shows to friends, And the one only he himself can see. ...So my story is that I'm sick of this shit. and I wanna take this moment of internal screaming of depression to show you my real...

My names Ken. As a kid I was taken advantage of by a lady who lived with us. I thought I enjoyed it but as I got older it dawned on me just how warped my thinking was, and so I used porn and masturbation to numb myself to any and everything. I was 11 when I first saw porn, now I'm 22. I fap up...

Hello everyone! So finally I got to create an account on nofap and I am up for the challeng / journey. How did I get here? Well I heard about NoFap since end of last year. I actually stumbled accross the topic after reading Napoleon Hill's famous book "Think and Grow Rich" from 1938 in which...

My wife and I recently celebrated our ninth anniversary. We have two daughters and a son. I converted to Catholicism five years ago. At the time, I gave up porn and masturbation for almost a full year, but I relapsed hard. When I relapsed ... I realized I was bisexual. Oh, also, my wife and I...

I just intro myself in the log section https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/my-log.139691/ Cheers!

This is my second attempt at NoFap. Last year, I lasted 90 days but was still flatlined. I was discouraged and still felt unconfident because I never saw a change. So guess what I did? Went pack to PMO. Drifted more and more away from the life I want. This time, it's going to be different. I'm...

Hey everybody: I am a college student living through the ups and downs that college life brings along. I recently read about NOFAP and was very curious to see what this community was all about. After I read the "getting started with NoFap guide, I wanted to try out the standard challenge to...

Hello everyone! I'm joining Nofap today looking to rid myself of pornography addiction and the damage porn has done to the way I view and interact with women. A little of my story: I stumbled upon pornography at a friend's birthday party, when I was 10 years old I wasn't sure how they all...

Hey everyone, I'm kinda nervous about signing up for something like this but I know it's for the best. I don't want this lifestyle anymore and I am determined to change it. I will become the person I want to be and I will focus on my goal of self improvement each and every day. My streak starts...

Hey guys, I'm sam. I just registered yesterday and am feeling good about this lifestyle change. I am a pretty ambitious guy, a recent college grad, and relatively outgoing but every now and again I get sucked into a vortex of sissy porn. Eventually I pull myself up, purge, leave it alone for a...

Hello, Everyone, I'm new here. and seriously need your help.

Hello, I have been dealing with ED for a while now. And after thinking for a while about how I end up spending over a hour daily looking up for porn, I have finally accepted it as an issue and have decided to work on it. I see this as a good way of self development as well. I understand that...

Hi, My name is Jacob. I am 14 and have been addicted to porn for the past two years. In the past few months, I don't watch it as much but still masturbate about every day. I was inspired to join because of private, family matters. Then, I heard about this site on YouTube and thought this was...

Hi everyone! I've remained celibate for up to a week or two here and there for various reasons but I've never officially committed to a NoFap streak. Anyway, I just finished Day 5; aiming for 21. We'll see how it goes. BTW, wet dreams are one issue that I usually run into when I start this...

Im Ben, 17 I wouldn't say im an addict, but ive found through research that a porn addiction can be bad. For me, i can go up to a month sometimes without watching it. I normally endup watching it once or twice a fortnight. Ive always asked: What is considered a porn addiction? And is there a...

Hello, my name is (not) Ignacio. I'm 19 years old and I've been using online porn for 7+ years. Porn has only had a negative influence on my life as it clouds my vision to see God's grace. It has caused me to remain as shy as I always have been and has changed the way I view everybody. My porn...

I just wanted to make a quick introduction to the community here - I'm a 33 year old porn addict in a committed 7 yr. relationship who has been struggling with abstention for the last 2-3 years (really most of my life but I've become far more serious about it in the last few years). Not sure...

Hello fellow Fapstronauts. I came across this website through a YouTube video. I am not actually addicted to fapping. I fap like 2-4 times a week, sometimes lesser. But whenever I fap, I feel guilty about myself. I'm not religious but I still feel it. I just don't want that feeling. Most of the...

Hi, I'm Alex. I realised I needed to stop my masturbation habits a few months ago when they were impeding on both my schoolwork and energy levels. I also notice that I never really produce much of any ejaculate except when I wait a few days and so I feel it would be really embarrassing if I got...

Hi guys, I'm a 26 yr old male. I've been suffering from porn and fap addiction for many years now. I masturbate minimum once a day and sometimes more everyday. I feel guilty after every time but I still do it. I really want to stop but I'm not able to. I once went 4 weeks without fapping but...

I had known about NoFap for quite a while now. But finally joined today. Hoping to see some positive results.

Tl;dr I've left the more significant bits in bold, I've written an essay here haha Hi guys, Been aware of this group for quite a while now and entertained the idea of joining in many many times. I've been PMOing since I was about 13 and it's been pretty nonstop since tbh, this only got...

I learned about this shit 2 months ago and it finally clicked why I was so unmotivated and socially awkward all the time. I discovered porn when I was 10 and have been fapping till now. I'm 21 so it's been like 11 years of having this addiction. So far, I've been relapsing less and less. It...

Hello Fapstronauts, I'm going by CableGuy, I've used that name for a while, and I'm comfortable with it. I'm 26 years old. I'm one of Jehovah's witnesses. I have an addiction to porn and masterbation. I have anxiety, insomnia, and most likely depression. I've admired nofap from a far for a few...

Porn has been a part of my life for too long. I'm 19, and have been watching for years. I have gone without porn for upwards of 60 days, but within that time I had a very hard time controlling how much I masturbated. Trying to cut out porn and masturbation altogether will be very hard. But I...

I was planning on skipping the intro but I figure if I'm doing this, might as well follow all the prompts and go through all the motions ya know. so... I'm Tripp. I'm 24 years old. And I think PMO'ing has contributed to stunting my potential; sexually...and otherwise. I've signed up tonight...

Hello, I am a 19-year-old male and I have been addicted to porn, masturbation, and orgasm for about 7 years now. It has caused me a lot of anxiety, lack of energy and motivation, depression, and many other problems. I have wanted to stop for a while but god damn it is hard. I am hoping to learn...

Quite simply, I'm looking for a fresh start. I've been struggling with PMO since the age of 12. I'm 24 now.. Turning 25 in 2 weeks. I don't want this to be part of my life anymore. I simply want to be done with it. My goal isn't to achieve "superpowers". I simply want this dirt out of my life...
