introduction

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...

I am proud to be joining the NoFap community. I am a 19 year old male that has been raised in a Christian home my whole life. Unfortunately, my compulsive sexual habits are leading to riskier behavior, and I am self aware enough to recognize it. I wanted to take my first step to join this...

Read the INTRODUCTION and if you want to read keep on. If not, thankyou for stopping by on my thread. {Introduction to this post: I have started to write letter to my younger self when I was 22 years of age and then I just left to use Nofap forum. Then I again continued my story after two...

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, 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...

Hi all, I just wanted to introduce myself. As my nickname suggests, I feel I am a messed up person seeking enlightment in some sense. I have previously decided to follow the nofap path but failed miserably relapsing after a two months streak. At that time I wasn't aware that this community...

Hey, everyone. New here and wanted to say hello. My name is Eli and I’m a 24yo guy from Georgia. I started watching porn when I was 9 but I didn’t masturbate to it. Got in minor trouble with my parents for not knowing how to delete browser history, haha. Used porn off and on, became the only...

First, off I'd like to start out by saying that as I was typing noob up above it auto corrected it to boobs. Not sure what that means. Anyways, I would consider my self a porn addict (of course). I would watch it at least once a day if not more. Each of those sessions would last an hour or...

Hey everyone! I'm new here so just wanted so say hello and introduce myself. So, I'm 20 years old IT student from Poland. I think I started PMO about 8 years ago and nowadays do it almost everyday. Usually once when I'm the only person awake at home, sometimes twice or thrice if I stay at home...

Hi everyone, 30 something male here, struggling with this thing. I've used the site before,but I keep falling back and kind of tired of these cycles, where I go for a few days and then get back to a masturbation binge again and then end up feeling like utter crap. I think this thing has ruined...

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...

Hello, I am 21 years old and have been struggling with fetish porn ever since I was 13. It was the only porn I ever watched and I found myself not enjoying regular sex porn when I watched it. I want to heal because I want to find life satisfying and feel a purpose again.

Hello everyone! This is interspace94, a Lebanese PMO addict with a synthwave song title for a username. I've been an addict for 12 years now, I think. Long time for someone who's 25 years old, but with a religious upbringing, lack of sexual education, and a history of anxieties, it doesn't seem...

For a while now, I've been aware that my addiction is a problem, but today I discovered just how big of a problem it really is, and that it's easily the biggest problem I've faced in my life so far. It started off very mild, I wouldn't masturbate often, maybe once or even twice a month, but as...

Hey everyone! I am officially starting my journey today because I wanted to overcome my masturbation addiction that I've been dealing with for years and I wanted to create an account here to help motivate me in reaching my goal :D I actually haven't masturbated in a few days... up until a few...

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...

Hi everyone, I'd just like to take a moment to introduce myself to the forum. I'm a 21-year-old guy living in California and I've been incorporating NoFap into my life for about 4-5 years now. I've been subscribed to /r/nofap on Reddit for most of that time but have found varying levels of...

Hi All! Just wanted to Share my own Story w you. Its been a really long time actually, Since i was just a kid and I don't even know how I learnt about M, and I was really good at hiding, So i never got any advice from friends n family. Then, I grew up, and i understood what the hell i had...

Hey everyone. Just signed up to NoFap. I need to get my life back in order so bad. I'm addicted to porn and excessive masturbation. I don't know if the way I'm living like is healthy or not, but I want to get this under control. I'm 24 and I've tried to quit before, but it has never lasted for...

I am a about a month away from my 17th birthday and my life is in deep shit, in my opinion. I am an addict and have been masturbating for 6 years, the first three unknowingly and the rest in the false pride of being so smart and knowledgeable about sex that I used to say what i heard that...

Sup! About me I'm a 28 year old dude trying to give Nofap a go for 30 days (starting tomorrow). Max streak has been 8 days. I have been using porn since I was 15. I remember when only the sight of 2D anime breasts would start me up. Had to upgrade for them 3D ones after haha. I live with my...

Hi guys! I'm a 23 yo, gay Male from Brazil. I guess I've been addicted to porn since I was 13 or 14. I've always thought maybe my relationship with porn consuming was problematic, but had never considered it an addicition until 2 days ago when I started searching the web to find ways to stop...

Hello NoFappers, I'm from India. Being a relatively conservative county and me too raised in a conservative manner, i couldn't get a girlfriend for regular casual sex. With high stress levels and no girlfriend, I started fapping my snake since 2014 till now. I am now getting the...

Hey guys! I am a 34-year-old filmmaker from Vienna, and I identify as gay. I started watching porn back in the days when the internet became a thing which pretty much coincided with me hitting puberty. Being gay and living in the countryside, the internet quickly became my outlet to explore my...

Hey everyone, I'm a 19 year old male from Jamaica and I've been on nofap for about 2-3 months now. Well I've watched porn in that time but haven't orgasmed. My main reason to start nofap is because I noticed that anytime I masturbated I used to get really depressed and I used to avoid talking to...

It's something I noticed over 2 years ago. I was at my peak in health and wellbeing. Had several partners with stamina that served me and them quite well. But somewhere along the lines, I started preferring to stay inside. A sense of complacency took over that kept making me feel like it is...

been at r/nofap for long. did not solve this porn and masturbation problem completely. but this problem messed me up for a good while now. longest streak: 6 months. now: 4 days (umm, and even this is kinda long streak. lol.) hope i don't ever need to fap and weaken myself again.

Hello nofap community, Funnybones here, I'm a student and bi-curious. I was exposed to pornography at the age of 12 since then I left no stone unturned to watch pornography. Eventually, I landed on hardcore and extreme versions of pornography. I had tons of porn stored on my hard drive and had...

Hey everyone, I came onto the forum to share a bit about my story and I'm glad to say also my transformation and success over a long journey. I struggled with an addiction to masturbation and porn that started to take hold in my early 20's. By my late 20's this had become more of an issue as...

Hi all, I have decided to make a positive step in my life to improve and maintain my relationships and take care of myself. Will be abstaining from porn and masturbation. I can already tell that this seems like an incredibly supportive community and I am excited to be a part of it! Keep up the...

I am 24 years old. I had huge social anxiety problems in my late teens and my insecurity affected my social interactions with women. I was too insecure about my physical appearance. But I am better now. I first masturbated when I was a month away from 18. This is way late than most people. But...

Today marks my first day with NoFap. I am not only generating this post to introduce myself, but to also explain why I decided to start this journey and hopefully to encourage others in similar circumstances. My name is Elijah and I'm 17. I decided to join NoFap because recently I've noticed...

Hey all, My name is Lars. For years now, I am struggling with ED, which I now know seems to be PIED. I also struggle with lonliness (alone since I ended a toxic relationchip in 2012) and the phases in which I feel depressed grow longer and come more frequently. I have gone through some medical...

Hello everyone! I'm so glad to have found a community like this. I'm a 22 year old male finishing up my last semester of college. I’ve been watching porn since I was about 10. My parents found out soon after, so I was really scared for a while. I didn’t watch anymore porn for a couple years...

I am 29, married for one 1 year, been together with my wife for 7 years. I am struggling with depression. I hate porn though I have to admit to myself that I am addicted to it to a lesser degree. I often say to myself 'porn is poison'. I firmly hold this belief. It is a new plague. The fifth...

I don't think I've ever properly introduced myself. I am Mossy Oakenshield, or Benjamin. I am a husband, and a father of three. I am currently a country boy wannabe. I have some goals I hope to achieve through NoFap. First, obviously, is to stop my reliance upon porn and masturbation. It is a...

Hello, I'm a 17 year old male from India. I started masturbating before 3 or 4 years. The first time i did it was like the best satisfaction feeling ever. But now, it's more like a daily regret. Whenever i over masturbated or masturbated regularly for days , i searched the internet for the...

Hello everyone, My name is Eli, I'm 21 years old, i first followed noFap back in 2015, but didn't join, because i had no knowledge of what i could do, or how a community helps. Now that i matured quite a bit, i heard of the opportunity to volunteer here, so that's why i joined, helping others...

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...

I heard about NoFap a while ago, and tried to quit PMO for a while. My record was just about 1 month, but whenever I slip I fall back into it and I recently slipped again. This is seriously one of the most difficult things that I've had to stop doing, and I realized that I have a serious...

Hello fellows, I tried stopping masturbation and watching pornography a few times and sometimes I used tools like counting days on a piece of paper, but I never had lasting success. Still, I noticed differences after a few days. My max. was about 3 weeks. I''m convinced that pornography is not...

Hey, I'm gunshot or at least that's what i'm going by in this community. My story is I met this girl in school who was amazing and I'm lucky to say that she's with me now, but before we were dating I experienced multiple deaths in my family and because of stress and stuff like that I fell into...

Hey all, call me Dizz. I've tried many times to resist masturbation and porn but I have never heard of this website or PIED, and I'm almost certain I have PIED. I am actually relieved I am aware of the cause and found this website to hopefully help me. I don't think I have ever resisted passed...

Hello everyone. Thought I would give the forums a try because attempting a reboot "lone wolf" style hasn't been working out. If anything, things have gotten worse. A big part of that, I think, is that I have no one to talk to about the struggle I'm going through in my everyday life. I've...

Hello my name is Caleb I am 24 years old about to turn 25 and I am ready to start making a change. Today January 25th 2019 I have met with a Chaplin who will be helping me out on this journey. This Chaplin is someone that my work offers for free and off the record so nothing I say will be...

Hey Fellow Fapstronauts! I've struggled with pmo ever since I got my first laptop in college back in 2008. It's been more than 10 years since I started, but only this year did I actually research the damage porn causes your brain. I've struggled with brain fog/lack of focus which has really...

Hello everyone! 22 yo man joining NoFap here. I knew about this community in 2018, after I tried getting rid of PMO by my own and searched about it. I did a great progress last year, alone, nevertheless not having people to talk seriously about it was frustrating. So I decided that, using the...

Hey all! I'm currently in a relationship and I felt that my regular porn use was affecting my sexual relationship with my partner. I've been a porn user since early puberty and always had a 'feeling' porn was not good, but I've never been able to quit. I've also never made a serious effort...

Hello fellow Fapstronauts. Grunner here. I just joined up yesterday because I've been trying to quit PMO for a while now (a couple years) just on my own, and I just can't seem to break the cycle. I'll go a week or week and a half and then binge. I'm looking forward to the community and...

I'm new to this forum. I've been trying nofap for the past 2 months and so far I've had a lot of relapses. My first streak was 15 days long and after that I've never been over a week, except my latest streak, which was 9 days long and ended today. I'm in 12th grade and I study a lot, maybe too...

Hi only a few people know about my problem. started when I was 13, 37 now. have to admit it influenced my relationships, which partly collapsed becaused of that. currently relapses occur every month or so and last 2 days. Normally triggered by loneliness or anxiety. I tend to use food or binge...

Hi there, I'm new here. After many years of addiction and some months of hesitation of how to deal with it, I started reading about the topic and decided to take action to initiate a new life. That is why I uninstalled all my apps, cancelled the accounts and subscribed here, right now...

...Which tells you a bit about how the last four years have gone... I don't think I've gone more than a few weeks without PMO in that time. It shames me to say it. This stuff is evil! OK let's get on with it. I married a truly wonderful woman this summer. My career is starting to move cool...

Hey, Im 20yr student from Poland and recently I found this page. Since years I had trouble with Pmo; it took more and more time up to 2 hours daily and what was more scary it went to more and more unrealistic genres ending on some crazy fetishes. It damaged badly my relationships (well theyre...

Hi folks, I'm a 24 years old boy. I wasted 12 years of my life fapping. Thankfully I came across Nofap. I would like to use this community as a springboard for the leap I need for my ambitions to turn into reality. I hope we all have a great time ahead.

I've been a porn enthusiast for the last 10 years. But my recent addiction has severely affected my lives, both professional and personal. My porn addiction and curiosity led me to discover cam sex. I actively looked out for websites where I could find strangers from around the world to fap with...

Hi everyone. Very long time PMO-er. Recently it has gotten in the way of my life at a critical time where I really can't afford it. Not really sure whether there are deeper seeded problems that have kept me there.. But in any case, it ends today. Today, I'm a Fapstronaut.

Hey guys. I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself here. I’m not new; far from it. I’ve been trying to quit for years. I’m 17 now and I come from Ontario, Canada. Back when I was 14 in February 2016, I discovered NoFap and gave it a try. Prior to that, I felt very guilty after each PMO...

I am committing to 30 days and maybe more. I have not had 30 days without since I was 12. I’m honestly terrified to discover what I am masking by using porn to escape. I am encouraged by what I’ve read about the science of the reboot. I have found that my sensation and desire for real...

Hoping a public confession will help: I've been struggling with porn and masturbation since I was 13. 40 years later (just threw up a little) and my problem continues. Despite wasting time, losing focus, treating people's affection for me with disdain leading to loneliness I continue this type...

I am tired. I am tired of my lack of social confidence, brain fog, long sleepless nights, loosing my passions, loosing my drive, loosing my friends, snapping at those close to me, unpredictable mood swings, unhealthy sexual habits with PMO, loss of memory, fear of ruining my brains healthy...

... hello from Germany everyone. I guess yesterday was the trigger for me to finally decide that I have to end porn and that I am addicted. I was bullied in school, which led me to becoming addicted as I was frustrated and porn could make me feel better. However, several years later I am now a...

Hello, I am new member from Czech Republic. I feel that masturbating and watching porn is killing my will & cause me to waste my lifetime. In the end I only sleep, eat, listen to the music & sometimes have some fun with friends. But my life is boring. For a more than 8 years I havent felt...

I've tried my own attempts of NoFap over the last couple of years that would usually last three to seven days and ultimately end in a relapse. I wouldn't revisit the concept for months and only when I was feeling healthy. Today marks my seventh day PMO. I've spent the whole day distracted by...

Hi all, I'm Meijii, and today, November 1st 2018 I'm going to be pushing myself as hard as possible to drop this addiction completely. I've got a couple reasons: 1. PIED is not fun, 2. significant other has been supportive and I want to make her proud, and 3. honestly it's a pathetic crutch to...

Day 1 of 30 Hey, I'm just a teen guy who heard of NoFap November and was just curious to see how long I can abstain from PMO. About myself in general, I will be going into college next year(2019) perhaps to study design or animation. Art, music, and writing are some of my hobbies and I plan on...

Hello, This is M, 28 year male, medical school graduate 5 years ago, currently a surgery resident. I have always been known to be a good person by my surrounding people, they expected me to be a very known doctor in the future. My memory goes back to my starting puberty "may be I was 14" when...

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...

Hi everyone, I'm George, I've been abusing the PMO cycle for some years. It got really bad for me when I was midway through my PhD. I didn't really enjoy my work, I developed anxiety about it and I used porn as an escape. My personal life fell apart during the early stages of my studies as well...

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...

Guess I'll start my introduction now. I'm Alexander, an adolescent trying to change for the better. I signed up due to my loss of self control, lack of concentration, confidence and motivation. I found it an arduous task to restrain myself from masturbating for short periods of time (2-5...

Hi guys! I have never been part of any kind of forum. Like with porn, I was mostly a voyeur. I was also scared to participate. As I have not been able to find some answers while looking around and I really felt like sharing here I go. Thanks in advance for your patience. I'm a 23-year-old man...

Hey. I've never introduced myself on a forum, so this is rather new to me. I've been watching porn/masturbating for several years now, which isn't something I'm proud or confident to announce, considering I'm 16, and have been masturbating since 11. At the beginning, it wasn't an issue...

Hello everyone! I first heard about NoFap about a year or so ago, specifically a video about how NoFap helped someone overcome social anxiety. My whole life I've been "shy" but only recently have I recognized that I have terrible social anxiety (mainly in groups) so I thought maybe it's time...

Hello everyone, this is my very first report and is a pretty long one. I feel like NoFap is not the only thing that keeps a person from reaching for his/her's ideal perfect self. Which is exactly what I'm trying to achieve at the current moment in my life. I've prepared a schedule, one which...
