introducing myself

Sup! I am 21M, addicted to porn and masturbation for ~9 years (YES ITS AROUND A DECADE) I am fed up of this addiction as now its affecting my daily life. (Low energy, f'ked up sleep schedule, no focus on studies and a crazy fantasized brain) I won't talk much about my past. Its time to talk...

I got curious one night staying up with my girlfriend online, worst descision of my life. Basically my porn use and masturbation got worse and worse for two years, and I was trying so hard to quit. Eventually, I told my girlfriend, and things started looking up, I went almost a month without it...

I've been struggling with porn addiction due to high exposure to porn from a very young age and now I've decided that I can't sit around for longer. I've had many relapses but this time I wish to quit it forever and for good. I wish to do this for my girlfriend and for my health. I had many...

I started to do this unholy thing since I was in primary school. Previously I dont really feel any side effects from this action, presumably because I was still growing up and unable to understand how serious this bad habit can ruin my life. Fast forward to now, I am currently starting my...

Hey everyone, Late 30s guy here, discovered porn in my early teens and have been a regular, compulsive over-user for all of my adult life. I always downplayed the potential harm of PMO because I seemed okay-ish ("nobody knows" or "I'm fine bc I dont have ED" or "I can get a gf so it must not...

Hey fellow Fapstronauts, wow, I'm nervous. It's the first time ever that I introduce myself in an internet forum and pretty much the first time I write to the interested public, what's cracking, what's wrong (?) with me. Hm, don't know where to start - so emberrasing ... maybe start like this...

Hello A little about me. I'm an accomplished musician, I've played piano for almost 14 years now, and have dabbled in a handful of instruments and am currently learning the Organ. I'm currently in my second year of College. I love learning and music, and enjoy Math and Engineering, and am doing...

Hi I'm a new Fapstronauts from China and I'm not good at English so emm...sorry for making your misunderstanding(if I do that) and... I have little vocabulary so what i want to say is... hey bro let's reset together!

Hello everyone, I hope you are well today. My name is Reggie and through my internet travels I somehow found the nofap community. Many times before I have encountered mentions and discussions of nofap and it never has occurred to me, that it might help me or be something I would want to try...

Hi Everyone I'm a 36 year old male and after a week or so of lurking the forums for some support and comfort in your words, experiences and journeys on here, I've decided to sign up with the intention of keeping a journal initially and hopefully contributing to the community. I won't go in to...

I'm glad to join this community and I hope it can help me. So I had this bad habit since I was 12 now I'm 21, I want to quit it because that brought me many negative consequences and I used it to cope with anxiety, loneliness, insecurities and boredom, mostly on my teenage years where I was not...

I started watching pornography about a month ago. While I do not yet feel like I have an addiction, I want to try and stop before I become addicted. I am at a point in my life where I would have been really confident if it wasn’t for pornography. I started exercising, eating healthy, sleeping...

Hello there, to whomever happens to be reading this. I'm sea and well, I live quite an alright life actually. I'm doing stuff on my day to day, I got good friendships and a nice relationship, goals in my life are getting accomplished and I'm alright mostly. However, ever since I was a kid, I...

Salam, everyone! My name is Ahmad, a 21 year old a Muslim. I'm grateful to be a part of this supportive community. It takes courage to acknowledge and address our struggles, and I commend each and every one of you for being here. Today, I want to introduce myself and share my journey with PMO...

Hello to anyone reading this. Thanks in advance for taking the time to do so. I've visited the NoFap website a couple of times already, but never signed up. Today, after abstaining from PMO for 6 days (starting from the 29th of May), I deemed it wiser to sign up for the community and tell my...

OLD INTRO: I was only 9 years old when my addiction first began. I am 19 years old now. Meaning, that I have been addicted to watching pornography for the majority of my life. 10 years total. My goal for this year is to begin my 20th clean and sober. I do not want to carry this weight with...

I want to start by saying that I feel like the guy at narcotics anonymous who is a pot smoker. My struggle with porn seems minor compared to many, but it has been a painful, shameful part of my life and I feel grateful to share. I started masturbating in my early teen years. It was incredibly...

I want to use this post to introduce myself and get something of my chest... My story with PMO began when I was around 14 years old in 2009. I had masturbated occasionally but had no access to Internet P*rn or used any visual aid as in videos. But one summer night when my parents were gone and...

I have decided to get over it once and for all. Thats it. :)

I'm a senior student. Before my college, pornography had troubled me frequently in high school, especially in vacation time. It left me a long scar mentally. Therefore i decided to get rid of pornography and no PMO in college. In the beginning, I made every effort to fight porn addiction and...

Hi I'm 18 years old and from India. I've already tried NoFap a few times in the past. My longest streak was 13 days. But these days I only last for 3 to 4 days max and then relapse. I've come here to gain support and motivation from the NoFap community and write a journal so I can record my...

myself marcellus, Im struggling with porn(hentai manga, porn games and usual porn) and masturbation addiction. I started masturbation when i was 12, it was fun and relaxing at first. but now it has become a curse. Im prepaparing for my national level medical entrance test, which i already...

Hello, I'm a 29 years old man. Currently working as Support Consultant. I'm a kind, loyal and helpful person. I don't have a relationship. In March 2021, I discovered Nofap and wanted to give it a chance. I discovered porn and masturbation when I was ±14-15 years old. I had some good streaks...

Hello everyone, I’m new to the nofap community and I wanted to introduce myself. I’m a freshman college student and I’ve been struggling on and off with PMO for about 5 years give or take. I am not and never have been a full-on porn addict but I do struggle from time to time. I relapsed again...

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...

I am a guy who masturbates a lot and watches porn each and every day since the last 8 years. I have started the NoFap journey in the past, but every time I lost the urge of watching porn and the maximum time I could hold was like 35 days. Furthermore, I want to change myself. I want to boost my...

Mario ! ... Glad this site is anonymous. Well I have been telling myself that I should quit porn for about a year now and I just feel that I want to start this new year of university without that burden. Lately, I have found myself craving "female domination" porn and it really is destroying any...

In many ways, I'm just another guy who, much like smokers in 1950s, thought what he did was perfectly normal, even healthy, and had no idea of long-term effects. After 30 years, I finally saw enough evidence that this is handicapping my life and my potential. However, there are a few details...

Hello, I'm a 23-year-old university student. Throughout my teenage years and until now, I've relied on porn especially hentai videos for achieving orgasms. It has gotten worse for the past 3 years since I'm always at home. This has led me to be attracted to extreme genres which I'm embarrassed...

I first joined this forum back in 2017. But did nothing with it. Then yesterday it me like a brick wall that I have to do something about my PM addiction that has been going on for so long and is so normalised in many ways. Past effort to get rid off it by my self have led nowhere, I need a...

I have probably been here a million times; each worse than the time before in its own unique way Right now, I am in a very tough spot. Emotionally, financially and physically. I am hoping things will get better but hope alone will not suffice. Hence here I am, yet again. I am going to work on...

Hello to you all! I'm a 24 year old man, and I don't even remember when I began watching porn, but it's been since a long time. Currently I am a graduate student and overall I feel like my life is improving, but I just can't quit porn at all. I watch it even if I'm 100% sure it's unhealthy and...

Hello everyone. First, thank you for clicking on this. It's nice to meet all of you. I joined this forum for the same reason as most of you. Fapping has become an addiction that needs to be curbed. The pandemic and being forced indoors hasn't helped with this addiction. I decided that today...

Hi, I just joined this forum. I ask for your support for the future! Ohh .. Hahaha .. sorry, now I'm helped by Google Translate. I will continue my English lessons! see you later.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on NoFap. Thanks for reading! I've been skimming over NoFap for a few weeks, hearing other people's stories and experiences, which has been encouraging. But I wanted to introduce myself now and hopefully encourage someone/get some encouragement from the...

Before I start with the amount of cliches with the introductions, I'll start with another. Thank you. For years, I noticed that this addiction has become a problem but I was too weak and into the mind numbing powers that is porn. Seeing a site that details the problems and effects of porn...

Hey Everybody My Name's Brian, I'm 20 and I have been struggling with PMO for quite a while now, I remember the first time I discovered porn, It was late at night, I was in the Livingroom on my dad's smartphone, and stumbled upon the triple X (XXX) link, being a 13 year-old I had no idea what...

Hey, I'm David, 24, I'm a porn addict and I'm current living with my girlfriend, working a 9 to 5 job as a train attendant, and on my spare time when I'm not gaming or binging Netflix episodes, I usually binge watch pornography online. May it be at the privacy of my home or the bathroom at my...

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...

Hey there! Hope all of you are doing alright and staying safe given everything going on in the world right now. I guess I'll start off with a bit about myself. I'm 25, a software developer, and kinda an all-around nerd. I've got a variety of hobbies ranging from tabletop games, to photography...

Hello. I'm just signed in and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 25 years old man with a severe tickle fetish (knismolagnia) that means that tickling stuff it's my fap material and despite of trying to avoid this and at least fap to normal porn I always return to this, this situation reached a...

I learned about this site through Universal Man. I'm so glad there is something like this out there. It gives me hope and I know I'm not in this alone. I've been healing from porn addiction over the past several years. I've been married for several years and confessed to my wife Initially a few...

Uhm, I have been here before. With a different user name. I lasted about 20 days before choosing my habit over a healthy life. It just made more sense to let myself feel satisfaction, despite being depressingly short-lived, it was more than what I needed to get through what i consider to be an...

I've been masturbating since I was 12 (Or 11). But now I can stop. I'm 18 now, Univesity is coming soon and I can't find peace in myself. I've tried, man. Tried to find what triggers it, thinking about my future, family, about how it damages my brain and makes me weaker to these urges, how...

I want to introduce myself shortly: I‘m 22 and watch porn for 8 – 10 years. I was a very shy boy/young man and so I had not that much contact to woman in my life until now. But i was always really horny and so I used pornography to deal with my desires. I had two short relationships with a girl...

Hi everyone, Today I signed up to the forum as I feel mutual support will help me on my journey. I’m 25 and have suffered with PIED for around 5 years now, with it at its worst the last two years. I’ve tried and failed countless times to stop watching porn. Previously I’d be lucky to manage a...

Hello, fellow fapstronauts... 16yo Male trying to reboot since 2 years and still trying... I'm new to NoFap community here, however, I am following the NoFap subreddit for a while now. I started watching porn maybe when I was 12 and fapping when I was even younger :((so embarrassing to tell...

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...

What’s up guys, I’m 27 and I’ve just started my NoFap journey in a committed way after many years of excuses and false starts. I’ve reached the point where I’m willing to accept that this is a problem that won’t be solved through shear willpower and grit alone, one that I need to reach out for...

Hi, everyone, I am Miles, 28 year old guy, who have been in fap business for more than a decade. Yeah, almost 12 years, and.... yes, it did affect my life, it did ruin the only two relationships I had and left me with piED and literally... with dick in my hands. During all those years I assume...

Hey, i’m Hunter. This intro may be long, or short. but it’s full of my honest feelings. i want to meet as many of you guys as possible, and interact on the road to recovery that we all love. I’m 16. young, right? I probably discovered porn around the age of 13? I wasnt addicted at first. i went...

Hello I'm 22 years old, and I'm from Brazil, so sorry for my English. It's been some years since I developed the habit of masturbation, and I realized this takes my time and energy. Although I decided to stop accessing pornography many times, I couldn't do it by myself. Maybe the reason was I...

Okay... So... Hum... Hi, I'm me. First time posting, might as well be an introduction. I've been trying to give up "PMO"(as the cool kids call it) on and off for about six years. I started(albeit half-heatedly) due to religious reasons(I'm catholic). Those reasons remain, but for some time now...

Hi. My name is Fakhar. I’m 22 years old. I am a former user of this site, but I dropped out because I was convinced that porn addiction didn’t exist. But now, I do believe there exists such a thing and I’m willing to get back and start my journey again. It will be long but I’m here for permanent...

Hey all, Firstly, I'm cautiously optimistic of the step forward I am taking. I know it's going to be a daunting vice to overcome, but I truly believe that it will lead me to a better place than I have been since I was a young child. I have been regularly masturbating since maybe 10 years of...

Hey there, so I've been lurking NoFap for a while now and have tried on and off to try and stop PMO but I just can't seem to go any further than 2 days. 2. Fucking. Days. That's how bad, and I've tried everything. I've disabled incognito mode on my computer, I don't bring my phone to the...

Sup everyone, I'm an older dude starting this journey and definitely needed a place like this! Anyway, i've been blessed/cursed? with the ability to work from home for ~14 years and I've been fapping since i was 12 years old LOL. I noticed at that age I had limited energy with consistent brain...

Hey I’m new here. I’m 25 years old 188cm tall but a skinny man or let’s say I have an athletic body. My type of clothing is classy and sporty and I am a handsome man, apparently. I started masturbating very early guys. At age 12, freaking 13 years. I’ve heard about this page and Gary Wilson...

Hi, my name is Alex. By day I'm a web developer, by night I'm a Powerlifter. I would like to share why I'm on NoFap. I'm also writing this for myself, for when I need motivation to stay away from porn. My addiction to porn started 8 years ago, and I haven't been 2 weeks without PMO since then...

I am a 19 year old male, About to turn 20 in Juli. I've watched and fapped to porn for about half of my life at this point. After a rough year in which my mother got cancer for the 2nd time and I got sexually assaulted I'm ready to face my problems. Hearing about some of the signs of a...

Hi! I started to watch porn at the age of 18. Sometimes I didn't like it but in the last 3 years, now I'm 27, it became more important for masturbation and orgasm. I'm understanding or thiking that porn is the objectification of people, is the mercantilization of humans and our desires. I think...

I started PMO at 14, now I'm 40. I made it to 22 days no PMO, then had 5 of the next 7 days on a binge. I am so unhappy and unconfident when I use PMO, and I can usually get off for a few days. Now I am at 6 days no PMO. I'm going to keep at staying clean until I am. I know it is possible - I...

Hello everyone. You can call me Crim. I'm 26 and, strangely enough, identify as asexual. I'm a woman, but I don't like gender roles and stigma. So more accurately, I am me. Just me. You can ask questions about that if you want. Or not. I'm here because I developed the the habit of PMO about 3...

Hi, I'm a male living in York, UK. Looking to connect wth other people about the process, and their pricess of rebooting. I've just been trying since October 2018 but relapsed after a few months. It was porn, not masturbating, I was abstaining from. Lol forward to hearing from anyone in the same...

Hi, I am new here and I will call myself G Maglor on this forum. At first let me say thank you! You showed me, what's wrong with me. All the years I have seen porn and masturbation as a symptom of my problems and not as the problem itself. This site showed me my error. Since my years as a...

Hi, Finally made an account here ^^ Step 1, I guess. To introduce myself, I'm a moron. I developed some strange fetishes in secondary school and spent most nights looking through related artwork and stories online, basically from my teenage years through to age 25. I didn't know what addiction...

Hi, I'm Gabriel. I'm a 29yo gay brazilian guy. Started nofap yesterday.

So hi... Well, this feels weird. Never thought I'd share my porn addiction with the internet. Then again I am at the point at which I understand that I can't do this alone. So a little about yours truly: male, teen struggling with porn for about a year and a half now. I kinda just rolled into...

Hi My name is Marcus. I'm here because... well I'm addicted to porn. I've been fapping since 11 or 12 knowingly. It started as a oh this feels good, I'll do it sometimes to 14-15 years later and it's an every day routine. Porn took over my life and lead me down a road I was afraid to discuss...

I am Mr. Civility, I have started my NoFap journey, Mastrobation has been part of my life since I was 12, and it has always been a love hate relationship, recently I have realized that I have been sabotogeing myself by not entering into a community where I can get help, so here as well as a few...

Hello everyone! You can call me Hector (Oh wait, do we do first names on here? woops). Anyways, I'm sure there are like a million Hectors out there, so Hector it is. I am a soon-to-be high school grad about to enter college, and my purpose for being on here is that I don't want my potential as...

I am a young adult female that has made the decision to stop PMO. I did not know I was so attached. I didn’t know females could M until someone told me in 6th grade. Then I wanted to find out how. It went downhill from there. I would stay up late, go to work/school late, and just slowly spend my...

Hey guys, So my name is Sham and I've just committed to becoming a fapstronaut. I feel like porn has limited my success and my creative ability and how I see women. I honestly feel like a hypocrite. Although I agree with gender equality and respect towards women my attitude displays the...

Hi everyone, I struggle with PMO since 11 years, it begins to be really harmful for me in High School and during studies. "Thanks PMO" I neglected my studies and I am not sure if I'll be graduate next summer. Besides I was fired few days ago and it started to look very, very bad in my life...

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...

Hi guys, I’m 18, never really thought about quitting to be honest but one of my mates told me about this website and explained that there are a lot of benefits to not watching porn etc. It was after that, I decided I’d try and stop and realised it was a lot harder than I thought so now I few...

Hey guys and ladies around the world. So by now you've guessed that my name is actually not Homer Strange.

I only did NoFap to cure my porn induced erection dysfunction because all the times I had sex I couldn't sustain a erection. I did 108 days of NoFap I relapsed on day 108 . I'm pretty glad I made it to day 90 on the first attempt . I fapped four times to porn. My dick was a lot more sensitive...

Hi, I'm 26. Many of my friends think I've got it together and am happy -- 3 degrees, graduated top of my class, seemingly happy -- but I don't and I'm not. I've been addicted to porn since I was 8 years old. And it's killing me. The rare times I've gone a few weeks without PMO I've seen how...
