introduction

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...

Hello everyone, I am new here, just discovered this community about 20 minutes ago. I don't know if I will stay here, or if this will work, but why not try right? I am a 19 y/o male, junior in college for aerospace engineering, and have a gf of over 3 years. I have been watching porn since I...

Hello, my name is Canibotlin. (not my actual name tho). I decided that enough was enough. PMO has been seriously affecting my life for the past 5 years. Ever since I went through puberty, I used PMO to feel wanted and loved. Although I was a very social person, I never felt that I had a close...

I've joined and quick under various throwaway emails over the years. I'm trying again. I hurt myself recently while PMOing and now I can barely get erections. The sad thing is I just started seeing someone who seems perfect in basically every way, and I'm worried that this addiction will ruin...

Hello everyone, I'm delighted to be with you all. My name's Edward Fox (My English name) and I am a university lecturer. I have been addicted to porn for the last 15 years. I would never sleep without watching porn and masturbating. This affected my life especially when I got married and...

Hello. My name is Peter. Pornography addiction has been ruining my life since age 8. I didn't start figuring out that porn was impeding my life. I've always felt left behind and frustrated about not knowing that porn was the main factor ruining my existence. I've been on medication for a long...

Hey, this is my nofap story. I think I first discovered porn when I was about 11. The first time I tried doing nofap was in the summer of 2020 when I was 14. For a long time I would struggle with cooming and watching porn but having some small streaks. In 2022 I made major strides, each month I...

Hi everyone! I am a 20-year-old college student seeking to rehabilitate the problematic sexual behavior I display in my everyday life. I am not trying to recover from porn addiction, as that is a fight that cannot be fought until I fix my behavior. I am a man who is haunted by my own mistakes...

Hello and good evening everyone. I am new here. Today I toyed with the idea to sign in a porn platform. Instead of that I signed in here. I tried it several times to quit porn but I had several relapses. I am not sure if I understood everything how does nofap works, but I try to become familar...

Hey I go by Zak I noticed this is a very big and supportive community, where people who wants to make changes in their life come to break their bad habits. we all know, in the digital age, everyone who have access to internet and devices, is not immune to the images that play with our brain and...

Hey nofap community, I'm a 21 year old male. I have regularly masturbated to porn since I was 14 years old. I thought when I would get into a relationship I wouldn't do this as this is just a sexual release for me. But I have been in a relationship for past 1 year and I am still masturbating...

I registered on this forum in the hope of finding valuable advice on transcending sexuality. I have been masturbating my penis since I was a baby, I want to finally conquer my carnal desire and be free. I've tried to overcome my sexuality many times recently but have never succeeded for more...

Hello all, Hope you are all doing well. I have certainly underestimated this addiction. I have experienced all the negative effects anxiety, lack of concentration, low self esteem etc I have been trying to quit from years. Sometimes successfully abstained for months but relapsed again. I am...

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...

Heya fapstronauts, I'm Louie. 22 years old, working part time and creating my own business. I've been addicted since I was 13, always seemed to be my favorite way of escaping my reality. I tried quitting at around 20, failing hundreds of times. First it was pornography, but that grew boring...

Top of the day everyone! I am 27 yo guy who is experiencing ED caused by PM! Didn't know that PM is the issue until I failed with the girl twice, as the result - she doesn't want me as the man anymore. Anyway, since the beginning of 2024 starting my "manual celibate", as well as, getting rid of...

I am 26 and have grappled with porn since elementary school. There have been only a handful of times in my life where I spanned more than a month without it. December 2023 was a huge milestone for me in abstaining, but then this month I've crashed and burned. My buddy recommended I join this...

Hello all, It's been almost 10 years since I've been officially a part of the NoFap community. The last post I made was on an entirely different account when I was 14 years old. I'm currently 23 and I'm looking forward to a fresh start on my NoFap journey. My previous journey consisted of...

Hi. I don't know exactly what to say here so I I'll probably just end up spewing out whatever words my mind can think of as I type. I don't mind getting too personal but I apologize in advance if I do. My name is Brandon. I'm 21 years old. I like guitar, horror, and absolutely love video...

Hi guys, I started off today with the 90-day reboot proposed by the NoFap manual. I hope I can do this. Watching porn and staring at / approaching other women was one of the reasons that my marriage recently came to an end, so this has been a serious wake up call for me. I want to be a better...

First of all I wanted to apologize for my English, I will be using Google Translate. I'm 22 years old, I started PMO around age 12, I never really considered myself an addict (which was a mistake), but everything got noticeably worse for at least 3-4 years, I started looking at all kinds of...

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 guys, creating this account took me some time. I've been checking out this forum for some time now - since i realized that i have a problem a year ago. I've been doing PMO since i was about.. 12 i think (more than a decade), and never really thought about it until last year. I started...

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...

I'm from India. I started masturbation in my 9th grade ever since i hit the puberty(if that's the word they use for men as well). I felt so guilt at times after masturbating. In fact, i had a lot of questions on my mind like why am I doing a sin? why kind of pleasure is this? is it even good to...

29/M/Canada Like many of y'all, exposure to porn at a very young age led me to unknowingly form habits that turned into the serotonin driven addiction we all know and love. I didn't know that it was a problem because I grew up in a very sex - positive household, where i was always told "it's...

Hey there, I'm new to forums in general, so forgive me if I post something in the wrong spot. I'll try to be careful about it. But I really just wanted to say that this marks the beginning of my NoFap journey! Or at least on the forums lol. I've been trying to stop looking at porn for a...

Hello everyone I'm a 19y old boy who lost his way for 7 years now and had a chance to change it after reading quit porn and become rich. I was simply blown away by how much i could relate. I can't thank author enough to bring light to what truth is. I hope everyone here accomplish what they are...

Hi, to remain anonymous, I am just going to refer to myself as Atay. I am 30 years old, still a virgin, and all I want is something I can't have. I have been struggling with NoFap for many years, but this time I think I am really breaking down here. I decided to actually try NoFap this time...

Hello all. I just made this account. I am 21 years old. I am starting my NoFap journey today. Day 0 for me.

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...

Hi, This is my first time joining a group like this. I am 29(M) and have been partaking in porn since I was about 11, though I only started masturbating after I already turned 13. I basically grew up on Porn and don't really know what baseline really is for me because of it, but anytime that...

Hey. I'm here now. Not sure what to say about myself here, so ask away I guess. If I don't want to answer a question, I'm not gonna.

1. Gender Male 2. Age 22 3. How long I am using porn? Start watching porn from age 16 4. Impact pornography on my life 1. Not focus 2. Most of the time I fail in every exam 3. procrastinate a lot 4. No confidence 5. Not good in taking decision 6. Not think before doing anything 5. Why I decide...

I think the pieces of success are within me-within us- to be successful at what we choose. Though the level of success may vary, I believe that we are enough. In middle school, I was bullied terribly. I never felt any true affection from the opposite sex and that hurt me. I found solace in...

Hello everyone. I am a new guy here on NoFap forum. I am 18 years old. I have been struggling with PMO for last 6.5 years and like everyone else I also wanna sort of kill this habit of mine. I was aware about NoFap for last 3 years and I was following it also. But like everyone I was always...

Hi all, I tried NoFap years ago when I sensed that I was losing control over my pornography habits, but that was short-lived and a lot has changed since then. I've been to SAA, worked with therapists, tried Fortify, etc. without much success. My longest clean streak dating back to 2020 was...

Hello my fellow recovering friends! Longtime NoFap viewer on Reddit, first-time poster. I've been a porn and masterbation addict for over 2 decades now. My catfight fetish turned two of my favorite interests (women and sports) into my greatest weakness. I've tried to quit several times but...

Glad to be a part of this community in the hopes of changing and beating this pretty substantial issue. I'm 31 and currently married to the love of my life with whom I've been in a relationship for the last 11 years. Fapping has caused us both no end of problems over the years and only...

Hello, I have struggled with porn since I was a teenager. My longest relationship has only been 7 or so months in the course of my life and I am very afraid of being in a committed relationship. Due to certain factors I also have quite significant mental health issues. I have been abstinent...

Hi I'm from Germany and I hope my English will be good enough. First of all i am really glad that I found this blog. Exactly 31 days ago I started with nofap/no masturbating. And Exactly today I relapsed. 31 days is something I struggled really hard. After much I've read about nofap and...

Hi everyone Hmm, how do I introduce myself without losing my anonymity? Well, I guess I can say I'm a 20 something PhD student, I'm by no means perfect, I really struggle with procrastination (heck this post is sort of procrastination from my PhD right now), I can be quick to judge people, I...

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all having a great day. Since October, I've wanted to stop my addiction to the cancerous plague known as porn. The longest streak I've had was 21 days before relapsing, and it went a bit downhill from there. But ever since I found out about the NoFap...

Hello, everyone! I'm glad to be joining this community. You can call me Sondae. A few things about me: Before anything, I'm a human. I make mistakes. I give into my vices. I'm here to improve myself for my own sake and for the sake of the women in my life. I'm also an early college student...

Hi ya’ll! I’ve been trying to stop watching porn and masturbating on my own but keep failing. Hopefully, I can succeed with the support and accountability provided in this community! I’m actually coming here to enrich my sex life. I am dating someone but find it really difficult to cum with...

To start, Hello. I feel that typing this out will be therapeutic for me. There’s something about wanting to type all I have inside my head to try to clear the gunk left behind cause of my PMO addiction. I’ve been reading materials on this subject. I found NoFap on Reddit, and found a couple of...

Hello everyone, I am glad to join this community and I hope I can finally quit my porn addiction. A bit about me, I am currently 26, and have been watching porn and masturbating to it pretty much daily for over 14 years. I didn't realise how much damage was this doing to me until just...

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...

Hello everyone, So excited to be joining you, and to be writing my very first post on a recovery forum! I’m a 30 year old gay man struggling with porn addiction. I don’t know when my porn use turned into addiction, as I can hardly remember what life was like in my personal pre-porn era. What I...

Hi, guys. I’m 16 years old and I’m from Russia. Oh, yeah, sorry for my bad English :) I heard about NoFap on YouTube or in YouTube, I don’t know. I think it’s very good way to make me better. I have tried to stop Fap before, but I couldn’t. I hope, that NoFap can to help me.

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...

Hi, everyone, My name is Edward. I'm a married man in my forties. Although I considered I myself a moderate porn user, I think my psychiatrist would think different LOL. Porn craving and usage began infiltrating my thoughts and desires not all day long, but almost. Also, regarding masturbation...

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...

Hi guys, I'm dogeatdog and I've had a spotty history with PMO and NoFap as a whole. I first learnt about NoFap in 2018, which was the same year I created this account. As I was only 15 years old at the time with very little self-discipline and not having really researched the effects of porn on...

Been stuck looking at porn since I was roughly 13 years old, now nearly 13 years later I want to make a concerted effort to break from it. I feel like it has done a number to me mental health wise and turning me into something I'm not. Made an appointment with a therapist sometime soon and hope...

Hi there, Brand new to the NoFap world. Seems very very daunting, but well worth the cause. Getting married in a little over 6 weeks, and endeavoring to commit to PM until that time. Trying to channel my inner Buddhist monk to get there.

Hello there, (I am new to this forum and community, so I'm sorry if say anything that triggers people or use the wrong lingo.) I have decided to join this community to help motivate myself to improve my sexual health. I first found out about the Nofap community from when I started my journey of...

Hey. New user here. Sorry for the paragraph in advance. Porn has changed my habits, mindset, and life for the worse. I suffer from depression and anxiety among other things which I am trying to get help for and do better for myself this year. At first I thought that porn was just something...

I made an account about a year and half ago and never posted until now because uhh... jeez where to start? I'm male, straight, 25, and that account was made because I was going to stop porn. Was - we'll come back to that. Reason for need to quit was that I had to face facts: my porn tastes...

Hello, I am glad to be here and have found this site. It is difficult to find help about this addiction because in our society porn and masturbation have become the new normal and most people don't consider it an addiction. I began masturbating and then porn at 13/14 y/o. I agree with most of...

Introduction I'm a 24-year-old male, and I'm addicted to PMO since I was approximately 11 years old. I was always a bit shy and awkward when I was in my teenage years, and I developed a severe social anxiety at the age of 14 - 15. I used to PMO daily at least once or multiple times. Furthermore...

Hi ya’ll! It’s nice to finally be here. NoFap is something I’ve seen for years but it’s nice to finally be trying to get involved. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t need some positive reinforcement along the journey. So far I’ve been pacing myself instead of going cold turkey per my therapist’s...

Hey guys! Really excited to give this a go and see if it can change my life for the better. So where to start.. i suppose ill go with the typical structure in the guide and let myself stray from there. I’m a 26 year old Male and I’ve been watching porn for as long as I have known without...

New here, so grateful to find community, and the wisdom that comes from experience. I'll be starting up a (much) longer post in the Ages 40+ Reboot Logs section (and I put up a full five chapters so far here). In brief: lost my dad to cancer when I was 10; started PMO as a 13-year old after...

Hello fellow Fapstronauts! I'm Alec, 24-years-old, male who has occasionally but consistently looked at porn since I was about 12. Since around 2018, I decided to put a firm stop to watching porn all together, but found myself relapsing. Many of my triggers actually has to do with my dad, who...

Hi folks. I am a 24-year-old male who is seeking to confront what I believe is a masturbation problem. On January 18, 2021, I created a forum account. I am pleased to be here and I am grateful for the existence of NoFap and for this Internet community. Perhaps I should disclose a few of my...

Hi all, First post here - just wanted to give the community a brief introduction and hopefully get some discussion going. Background: I am a 24 year old male, PMO since 14, increasing to 1-3 times a day since about 17. Have had those periods where i will do it 4-5 times a day. Been struggling...

Hello. Yesterday, I decided this would be the time I would finally stop. Typically, I would start, last a couple days, then go back. This time, I'm determined to put an end to it permanently. Usually, I find myself reading or writing. I love a good horror book. However, nothing will ever beat...

Hey all, anonymous newbie here. This intro might seem long and meandering. Despite the pain and the joys in this story it is far from a complete telling of my life's tribulations. Not asking for any pity at all; I just needed some perspective even if that was me simply typing something out for...

Today I decided to stop masturbating and watching porn after more than 10 years of daily use. I have developed a really unhealthy addiction to porn, I ended up with some really twisted tastes, and I want to stop. It's also affecting my relationship with my gf. Masturbating is something I've...

Hello there! I first discovered NoFap on reddit around 2016, a few years after I had discovered (and regularly used; for some weeks 2-3x a day) porn. Back then, I just read a lot of the posts and it helped me gain a healthier view on porn. Best streak w/o orgasming I managed to do by that time...

This was a big deal for me. I sat her down, told her I wanted to talk about something serious. I told her I had been watching porn since I was a young teenager, so that was during a period of more than 14 years. I also told that I then had been trying for almost a year to get rid of this...

names daniel from ky 42003 been watching porn since i was 8 watching vhs and family members who introduced me to dirty magazines playboys/other. im 36 turning 37 in October and porn and addiction has made it where i do not know how to communicate with anyone really. turned into a complete...

Hello, I have stumbled on this site a few months ago and found the contents to be good (although the introduction seemed somewhat lengthy), but as I still had to hope (like in the previous 5-10 years) somehow to get over my porn addiction without proper help, I didn't sign up. So, finally, here...

Hi fellas, First of all, I´m not quite NOFAP beginner. I started 2 years ago and managed to stay half a year without any type of sexual stimuli. But then, it became a huge roller coaster ride for me. Sometimes I did PMO every week, sometimes once in two months..sometimes even every day (bleh)...

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...

What's up guys, I'm officially a part of the community now! I'm 19 years old, and I decided on April 26, 2020 to quit PMO for good! It's June 1st as I write this, which is about a month after my decision, and I'm still going strong! I figured I could learn a lot from the community we have here...

Hi all. I really appreciate the community, ideology and support that has emerged from nofap. This is the first time I am willing to fully commit to it myself. The reason I am here is that I have fallen in love and so far spend wonderfull two years with a women who suffers from PTSD from a rape...

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...

So... I knew I had to turn my life around, or I'd be done for. I was a failure at life, at social interactions, at everything. I knew I had to get my addiction to masturbation under control, because it was sucking up every free second I had. Whenever I had free time, I would jerk off, trying to...

Hello everyone! I'm a 24 year old man who recently passed my 24th birthday. It's difficult for me to really state the effects my porn addiction has had on my life, because it never really occurred to me that I never lived my life. Still, I can plainly see the type of man it's morphed me into. I...

Hey Everybody, I'm posting this as something of a hello to the community. It's a little embarassing for me to talk about sexual stuff with just about anyone, but you guys seem really welcoming and inviting. I've been having a lot of issues with my sex life. I believe I suffer from what's...

Hello everyone, I became addicted to PMO at the age of 12 back when internet porn was catching up around 2003. Since then the journey down this road has been nothing but full of hell, sadness, loss, sorrow, self hatred, anger, pain, negativity, self destruction, stunted growth in life. Now at...

Hello, I am new here. Others are welcome to also post here if you are new here. Thanks to an article I found online about how porn can damage your intelligence I found this forum. Thank you for creating this website!

Hello NoFap Community, I am 25 years old, and after having immersed myself in porn for more than 17 or 18 years, I have kept breaking my legs on this hedonic treadmill... One day after jerking it for 3 or 4 times in a row, I realized I have a crippling addiction--not just any old porn either. I...

Hey all, After several try's on PMO I'm going to take it seriously. I'm Vincent (- Turning) from the Netherlands and I'm excited to join the community! My English isn't good at all, but I'm trying : ). I started PMO 4 march. Hope to see you at the forum soon! - Turning

Hi all, I'm 47 y/o, married for 10 and father of 3. Introduced to Playboy magazine age 11. Watched first VHS tape at age 13. Internet PMO age 22. Struggling for over 2 decades now-longest streak ever ~ 60 days. Thank you all.

After about a year of being off of NoFap and, of course, relapsing and increasing PMO to almost a daily routine, I’ve decided to get back on and get help from the community that helped me when I was on. It’s been about 8 days since the last time I relapsed. That’s very impressive for me since...

Hi everyone, I've been following NoFap for a while now, but never really got involved with the community. I've got a lot of respect for everyone here, and while not much of my story is unique, I felt I ought to get some of it down. I've been trying to recover for about two years now. I spent...

Short Story I'm 28, married, with no kids. Wife stopped using porn and is begging me to do the same. I've tried stopping on my own. 2 or 3 weeks was my best. Now I'm here for help. Long Story I was a socially awkward loner from preschool all the way into college. Naturally, video games and porn...

Hey, i‘am 19 years young, male. i need to stop PMOing because i found Jesus. Some days ago, i realised, there can only be a higher beeing(don‘t correct me), that has Created this Universe, i was caught up by the System, even tho i was a christian before beeing a sinner. Now i found a way out of...

Hello, I'm a reborn Christian dispensationalist , saved permanently by God's grace through my faith only, when I heard, understood and trusted the good news of His finished bloody work at the cross for my justification. I'm sealed & baptized by the Holy Spirit into a new creature in Christ...

I´m 34, been in a couple of long relationships. Fapping was always in the background, making the relationships not as good as they otherwise would have been. After I (not so recently anymore) broke up with my last girlfriend I decided to stop fapping, but haven´t been able to do it. If I dont...

Hi everyone! I have compulsively watched porn and masturbated since before I was a teenager. Friends showed me a popular porn streaming website when I was 11 and very quickly, I was using it whenever I had access to my parents' computer. With each year, what I watched would become more removed...

Hi, 25 years old newbie (male) here. I joined NoFap two days ago but didn't know what to do. The pinned post on the newbie section was really helpful but someone should definitely make a video about it. The sheer amount of reading almost made me relapse on day 1. But luckily I survived! Look...

Hello everybody, I think I'm going to start journaling on here when I can. I have been keeping a physical journal for the past few months but need another outlet which can give me additional support. I am currently 24 years old and my porn problem is really severe. I have a really hard time...

Hi, I'm new here. I discovered porn online in late elementary school and masturbation in early middle school. I can only think of a few periods of my life where I consciously avoided porn and masturbation. And that was within the last two years after hearing about NoFap without doing any...

Hello everyone! I'm 18 and i discovered the pornograhpy at the age of 13 (sometimes i really curse that day) and i've been addicted to porn from almost those 5 years. It started with a tomorrow in which i was alone at home and now it has become a problem that doesn't allow me to do things like...

I have been exposed to porn since like 10, and I have been addicted to porn and masturbation in the last 15 years. Now I am 30, married with 2 young kids, have a very busy work and life, and feel deeply guilted, and exhausted after masturbation almost at a daily basis. I can't continue like...
