Hey Brothers, Today is 16th day of my journey. It's going good. I had decided not to goto insta reels but as I'm doing night shift after shift I was trying to sleep but I couldn't out of boredom and I went on Instagram reels. I was scrolling for straight 19 mins and most of it they were showing...

I was hanging out with a friend tonight who spent four months in Rehab because of Alcohol Addiction. He was so happy and so free. After the number of years he spent in pain and despair because of his addiction, seeing him so lighthearted and hopeful was a real blessing. And also a symbol of...

It’s been 35 days. NoFap. No escape. Just me… facing everything I used to run from. And something has shifted. There’s a fire inside now — steady, alive, undeniable. I wake up and I feel it. This isn’t just about control. It’s about remembering who I really am. The man beneath the noise...

After maintaining 100 days of abstinence from masturbation, I did encounter moments where I watched nude content but did not engage in masturbation. However, in the first 10 days of the new year, I masturbated twice. I've identified that conversations about sex, girls, and nude content with my...

Our most sacred fluid our semen is not to waste and that's no different in a relationship and sex. If one doesn't have a partner then its smartest to do Semen Retention ofcourse. However, in a relationship I think you can have what I'll call Partner Share Retention. This is to have sex but not...

I searched a bit on the nofap subreddit, and saw one post(LINK) about oxytocin release and not being able to feel or fall in love. I am struggling with this, and I am terrified I will never get to experience love again. I have always been one of those romantics, but last year after my most down...

Loving oneself is crucial for overall well-being and happiness. It involves accepting oneself, being kind to oneself, and recognizing one's worth and value. Self-love also includes taking care of your physical and mental health, setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care. Remember...

Hello Folks! Some words about my person and my journey. I keep it short and not too boring. Age is 38, male, browsing porn for many many years. Noticed a clear shift towards more extreme content over the years. Needed novelty in porn content and in partners and sex practises all the time. No...

Hey y'all, this is no clickbait or exaggerating it. I found my father dead and now everything is different. It happened 5 months ago. I was in school and got a call from my grandpa that my dad was not picking up his phone. So I went home and found him in his bed, cramped up position, cold and...

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

So I went to meet my gf yesterday and we got intimate. So I have a history of 10 years PMO and PIED. So last two times when I tried to have sex with her, it got failed because of my weak erection due to PIED. So I decided to abstain many times but failed miserably. But recently I started...

Oh my god, i saw beatiful girl with beatiful legs. She plays guitar like a MFkin riot and is total metalhead. I cant work her off my mind. Im on 43rd day of no-pmo and I was doing well. But her and my short conversation with her about hers band song totally raped my large balls. Now Im feeling...

Almost 3 years free and so blessed for every day. 90 days isn’t a magical cure. You can be free today! You never needed it. It never made you happy. It never satisfied you. It never relieved you from anxiety. It was a crutch that you never needed. Love this community, keep improving your lives...

Last time I posted here was back in 2014. I was trying to adress some issues I encountered, read about PIED and quitting porn, made a very detailed post explaining my process. I had a gf back then, she was a medical doctor, went researching by herself and ended up making an account to the forum...

So it's been almost 8 days since I restarted my nofap journey. The first few days, my libido was in an all time low, and I had no of interacting with females. However, for the past three days I've been hanging out with girls, and right now I'm craving to talk to a girl but someone I don't know...

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...

My eyes open to that familiar sound, droplets tapping my roof in a steady rhythm. I feel warmth in my body right away, not a sticky sweat. I look down and it isn’t her in my arms, that sting tempts tears to roll down my cheek. I lean down and kiss my pillow, setting it aside from me laying...

I came across a girl on a matrimony site. I like this girl. The family background is quite similar. Others don't consider her that beautiful. But I like her. I am trying to meet her in the city but she has postponed the meeting. Shall I open up to her about my obsessions for her? I have been on...

Triggers and all that stuff so be careful! I wanna start with saying that I admire all of you, your will to fight and become better people. The fact that you want to change yourself is amazing and you will surely succeed. I am gonna go to the root of it. After practicing NoFap for almost a...

Hey , Idc if somebody is reading this or not but I am writing this to my future deepanshu - bro , your father worked like a hell and you are not worth it in any ratio to be there child because they do so much hard work to feed me and I am doing this fucking bloody shit which ain't give you...

I hope this thread can serve you all in releasing your shame and be an inspiration to start living the life you really want. I've been doing a good amount of self reflection and ruminating this week. My thoughts became so negative I began thinking I might actually be retarded or somehow...

Hello dear fapstronauts, I'm 25 male. Today relapsed after 5 days of streak. But this time unlike previous times I'm not binge watching or depressed instead i have found out where I'm going wrong. My story goes like this. I was a good looking kid, smart, well behaved ever since I was a young...

Idk why but I need to get this off my chest . I’ve only had a girlfriend for maybe a little over a month when I was 20 years old . The PIED happened when I was turning 21 and I’ve had it ever since . A few years back when I was 26(I’m now 30), their was this sex worker i used to see . I had and...

Hi! I have been in a relationship for 4,5 years now of which 2,5 LDR. That is also the current status, LDR. However, this time is harder than other times. I think mainly because the last time we were together, we had a major fight where I was seriously considering breaking up. However, I decided...

I have pied and I’m a compulsive porn user . I have severe depression as well. I’m 30 year old now but I’ve had pied since I was 20 years old . Today is day 1…. Again for the 80 millionth time . Theirs a sex I’ve known for about 4 years. I haven’t seen her in two years because she’s moved on . I...

There is a coworker I like who has become comfortable with me over the half of a year I have seen her. When she trained me for the first time, I saw that she would turn to stare at me, before quickly turning back to the tutorial on the computer. She started approaching me after I complimented...

The Story of my addiction I was 15, when I watched my first P. Before that first P, I watched a lot of nude images, I watched FTV swimwear models, etc. It's been 7 years and now I am 22 that I am addicted to that stuff. Things I am suffering now Addicted to adult sites, especially chat sites...

Okay so I know what most of you are probably thinking, "@Dioplleo_547 Why would a man as reasonable, rational and rugged as yourself be wasting your time watching hallmark movies instead of Real Men's Christmas movies Like Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, A Christmas Story, or Die Hard?! Hallmark...

hello my fellow fapstronauts, you all can ‘call me champ’ ;) i’m a porn addict who has come to terms with the fact that my life isn’t in order. i was on here before with a whooping 50 days streak & I backslid blowing that away. now, a month and some days later i am now in the prison with which I...

Alright so tell me if this may seem like a scenario you may have been in. So you meet this girl you guys start talking and trying to hang out and before anything even happens your brain says OMG THIS IS IT. This is finally going to be it Im gonna have the nasty and we gonna be a thing. Then once...

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

yesterday on a dating app(a raunchy one tbh) I came across a woman who is really charming and pretty,she is really sweet and cute. funnily how it all started is a great story.i saw her profile and texted her a hello to which she responded with a 'hi' and then almost instantly she sent me a...

There is no benchmark you have to get to to be free from pmo. You aren’t transformed after 90 days. You are free as soon as you choose to be free. And when you do choose to be free, you are doing so because you know deep down that you never needed pmo to get through your problems. It never...

Hi everyone, First of all, I just wanted to express my gratitude for everyone that is on this forum. Without you, I would not be able to share my experiences with porn, and the negative effects it had on my life. Hopefully, in time, I will be able to look back and say that along with other...

I love them, the way they laugh, the way they walk. They are just cutipies .... :emoji_baby::emoji_kissing_heart: What about you, do you love babies ?

They met in a library. Or maybe it was next to a lake. Or on an online forum. It didn't really make a difference. What mattered was that they met. As if it was meant to happen. They went fast through the introductions. They both knew, I don't know why, I don't know how, that it was meaningless...

Being an introvert/unsocial person I spent almost my entire life in loneliness. I learnt from the very early stages of it, to keep company to myself, to lose myself in thinking, reading, playing, watching a movie, in general doing something alone. One thing, though, that I always craved for was...

I'm new to NoFap, i've looked on this website a few times years back but never really engaged in any of the forums etc.. So to introduce myself I'm 20, have been masturbating since the age of 13. At the age of 14 I started masturbating to porn and at the age of 15 i was watching porn atleast...

"So addiction then, rather than being a disease as such or a human choice, is an attempt to escape suffering temporarily" - Gabor Maté The philosopher Schopenhauer believed that the inner essence of everything was an underlying persistent craving, which he called the will, or the will to life...

I have been in a long term relationship with my husband for almost 20 years. There is a big age difference and things don't work the way they used too. I miss being fully intimate and no longer am I satisfied in the way that I used to be. It took me many years to come to terms with my sexuality...

Hello everyone, I have been doing a lot of soul searching over the years. I will try to make this brief. I was raised a Roman Catholic, I believed so much in my faith that I wanted to be a priest, until I discovered that I am Homosexual man. I prayed at least 3 times a day for God to remove my...

I haven't gotten past a week of no PMO in the last 2 months. I couldn't figure out why until my relapse today. You see most of my strategy to beat this addiction, apart from the healthier habits i've been picking up, was thinking about why i started in the first place. It has always been about...

I actually cried for us. I was reading some posts of traumatized people here and this video with the diaries of a porn actress was the culmination. All these poor people in the sex industry. Male actors whose lives are just their sex organ. These women used as objects as.. public toilets...

Current streak: 392 days no PMO, semen retention. There are three areas required to master sexuality: your body, mind and heart. Body: it means monogamous sex, celibacy, semen retention, sexual moderation. Mind: not craving sex. Heart: not being attached to happiness when you experience sexual...

Posted this on my log but posting it here so it can reach more people. I am feeling fucked up, i have a horrible stomach ache and i think i know why. This weekend I met a girl during an activity I had to do. They put us in pairs and i got with her, she was really sweet and i felt like i could...

I just like the song and the movie

So I was seeing someone for a couple months virtually. I have never felt such a rapid connection with a woman in my life. We went from 0-100 really quick! The connection was undeniable. It had been forever since I've felt like this about anybody! I thought she was "the one" on more than one...

"... is to become an amazing person." - Mark Manson [https://markmanson.net/how-to-find-the-one] Thoughts anyone? I like it. It's counter-intuitive yet it feels true to me. Manson says earlier in the article that "[...] everyone wants a perfect partner, but few people want to be the perfect...

The purpose of this challenge is to foster positivity, personal development, camaraderie (virtual or in person), and mutual encouragement. All are welcome! The one and only expectation is to post what your goal is for this month of February - whether it is to learn a new language, share a kind...

Hi there.. I'm new to this forum. I came here because my SO is addicted to P, tries now to quit and has strong withdrawal symptoms. I already read about a few withdrawal symptoms here and I know, that some of them are normal. He says that he is very emotionless and can't feel any joy or love...

This is a quote from the bible that popped into my head while thinking about todays gen and the state of young people.. "People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, without self-control, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God." Im seeing the lovers of...

I'm currently on day 53 of nofap. Do you know the feeling, if you to get to know a new girl and after your first date you thought "this could be the woman of my life" But a few dates later, you get to know this person better and you starting to see the quirks/small defects in their life...

Have you ever wondered, when did PMO gain control of my life? When did I lose my ability to say no? It is amazing how, little by little, this beast became the over-powering monster it is today. I think back to when I was shown my first magazine, and then it went to stealing them because I was...

So hi. I've never posted in this section as I never thought too much about dating. And I won't, again, from now on. Just wanted to express an important thing I just discovered before I left the love game. So I met this guy last December. He was just perfect, the kind of guy I always wanted by...

lt is not our fault if we fell into PMO. It is the system that wants everyone addicted to something, to be weak and thus easy to control. But often happens some people once they start to hit the road of enlightment they start with those ridiculous speeches about women trying to steal their seed...

i found my self in really new thing and i love to share it u and that is: my mind says that it is ok if u masturbate with porn its oook weekly and too many time i listen to him and weeks became to days -guys porn is so wrong and i see happy things in the family only and i hope that someday i...

I was thinking about us. In abandoning p, I came to the conclusion that we humans, like all animal species, are tied to the need for reproduction, and the attraction to marriage, and... and by examining the evidence , we see that if man doesnt control himself . It'll be destroyed. Ask me why he...

Hi, I put this thread into the problematic sex forum yesterday but of course it equally fits here so I hope you will forgive my repetition. I've summarised everything I wrote so far below, any comments would be very gratefully received. I basically wonder who has tried hypnosis as a way to help...

Hi all, I've never actually contributed to this forum before but the more I have read, the more I see the same issues coming up over and over again to do with shame, guilt, powerlessness, anger, frustration and so on and so on. So many people looking for solutions to fix their symptom, but the...

If there was ever a virtue that was almost universally hated and simultaneously unavoidable, I think that one is patience. It really can be dreadful just simply waiting for some payoff. We detest what feels like wasted time as that payoff slowly slowly approaches at a pace that puts crippled...

Hey guys so i've decided to finally write this even if i really felt like not doing it in the hopes i could have some advice from people that have gone past this phase of reebot and maybe help others too. A bit of background on myself, i'm 19, and have been consuming porn content ever since i...

So, guys I had joined this forum to talk frankly about my sex related problems but I can see that here I can discuss about other problems I am facing in real and people here are so kind that they never judge or make their own assumptions instead they try understand you. I would always be...

So, I just graduated from high school, and I've delved into the world of dating once more. In order to properly do so, I've reflected on my past experiences with girls which made me come across a strange trend: mothers recommended me to their daughters even though very few girls were actually...

Hello everyone, am new here and yet to know my way around the forum. This is my first post in here. Pardon my typos am too distressed to proofread. So I have been masturbating since I was 9 years old and now am 24 (15 years masturbating), i masturbate a minimum of 3-4times a week. Aside the...

First of all thank you for accepting me on this forum, I had a 43-day streak last year and I stopped, now I'm on a 27-day streak because I'm too busy to fap 2 hours a day. When I was 7 (2003) I found one of my sisters' books, it was a gay one, I read all of it, I thought it was gross but it did...

So, just a heads up, this post will be heavy. It revolves around the greatest tragedy of my life (so far) and my embarrassing response to unfortunate circumstances. It all began many years ago in sixth grade. I was a new kid in middle school. I was small, overweight, and pimple-faced. Not...

So I met a girl the other day. She seems pretty cool. I've seen her before and thought she was cute but never acted on it. Yesterday I went out with some friends to a drive in movie and she work makeup and regular clothes for the first time and she looked drop-dead gorgeous. Like, no joke boys...

Today is the 6th day of my problem i can't even sleep well, I fallen in love with a girl who I discovered she also loves me ,and I really love her , and this problem won't affect my love for her and my problem is intense continuous OCD about she (may) have FGM and I can't ask her about something...

Hi folks ! I hope you're doing well in your nofap strike. I'm seriously thinking of implementing in my life a series of things to be able to find a girl that I really like. True connection, intimacy, shared interest, and great sex. As for now truly I live in a scarcity mindset with girls, don’t...

I started reading these kinds of manga when I was 15, I was attracted to a boy my age, he was short and feminine, after ogling him for months I realized I couldn't just f*ck him so I started reading those types of manga. I've just realized I like BL because it provides me emotional support, same...

My fingers are crossed since less than 48 hours I’ll reach my Big 90, thus I found myself obliged & honoured to share my experience of these undoubtedly incredible & fantastic days of NoFap. I praise Lord for giving me a chance to reach this plank. Lessons, that I’ve learnt: Know your...

Hey guys. Forgive me for english, I am Danish so it may not be the best! Lately I am dating this amazing girl, we have great chemistry, we find each other super attractive, we have similarities and differences, plus we can communicate really well about Rebooting / Abstaining from P. Lately...

When I was about 12 years old i started watching porn, usually just lesbian and sometimes straight but never any gay ever. Im now 15 and have developed some kind of HOCD. It started around my 15th birthday and lasted a couple weeks. I realised porn was trapping me so i stopped for a while. Then...

Hey there. How are you? I'm new to nofap. but have read a lot of experiences here. This is my first day.I'm starting this journey today so if you want to join my journey,you are welcome. well I need someone to talk to when I feel horny. Day 1. Lets Begin.

***TRIGGER WARNING*** The reason I want to quit is because I want my future daughter/wife to know she is so incredibly beautiful without donning makeup, getting breast implants, waxing her nether regions, painting her nails, etc. She'll never be able to fully appreciate that if her...

If you reading this I congratulate and appreciate your efforts for choosing a beautiful life. I thank you to take your valuable time to read this and welcome your worthy suggestions in my learning stages. I am a male of 24 years time on earth till now. I started using magazines and newspapers...

There is this one girl always chat with me on whatsapp. She is in love with I can truly say that. She also said I love many times . But didn't say. Because my problem is that I just need a kiss and sex from her , that's the only need I am getting. And i am not in love her I can say that. Also I...

Hi all, I'm new here so I wanted to make a thread for the discussion of something I have noticed from reading peoples comments, and certain threads that have been posted. This is the belief that porn is responsible for all forms of sex, except missionary sex and kissing. First things first...

Hey, I’m joining after a pretty bad relapse. I was convinced I could do this alone for a few months now and had a good week here and there but I obviously need the help of others. I’m in a relationship. A serious one going a few years now and some how Iv avoided her learning about my addiction...

I`ve started nofap and abstain over other similar activities (involves sexual contact, explicit eroticism and so on), not just to overcome addiction or cease back my attention on work. Renouncing such activities helping me a lot to perform better in my work and on various aspects of personal...

My fellow fapstronauts, I am 26 years old. I have been plagued by the malignancy of PMO for almost half of my life. I am very keen on improving myself and seek ascension. Today I am on my 140th day of no PMO, which, by far, is my longest streak (I had several streaks before, 120 days being the...

i met the ex from 4 years ago. first time we had s., memories went into my head and i wanted to take revenge on the guy i was with until start of december. he obviously dumped me over text next day saying we are too different and he would break my heart again. left me numb all these weeks after...

So I ran into this girl at work while doing a presentation and it turned out she went to my school. I really didn't expect someone like her to have gone there but she did. She was 35 and single. (married and divorced a few years before). We chatted for a little bit after the presentation and I...

I haven't any friends because of Loneliness. I have a few but they won't call me or text me why they act like that?. I really hate girls because they are very over acts such as make scene, maybe. But inner guy want a partner what would I do?. Any girls?? Are in NoFap please Contact me if wanna...

I am transforming and I want to share with you what I am going through. I would like to hear from others as well so we can compare our experiences. But follow this because I am going to be here with you all. Here is my evolution with Porn. I loved porn and it was a secret thing I did. I looked...

Greetings to my fellow heroes and NoFappers! I want to ask for help regarding an problem, I haven't quite been aware of till I started NoFap (btw today is my 3rd week in hard mode and it was the best decision in my life!): I noticed that I really cannot express my emotions, especially love and...

I have tried quitting porn like 100 of times. I guess my account is also very old which can show you how much I want to quite pmo. For the first time in last 10 years I will be having 30 days streak. Before these 10 years I was topper in my class and have been very good in studies. Then one day...

In last 10 years the best I have abstain from PMO was 30 days appx. This time as you can see my counter is at 23 days. Yes 23 days of no MO. I am a very curious person so after not seeing porn for many days I saw porn for 3 hours just to see if I will lose my control and fap again but I didn't...

Hello every one, Today I am celebrating my 32nd birthday. It's 5:30 in the morning here, and I feel very fresh. It's my 9th day without PMO and sex chats. Feels weird though. Though my mind is tricking me to fap again, as of course because it is my birthday, I am very sure that I am not...

Now let's be honest, I'm just some guy on the internet to anyone who reads this, but I want to share this idea for those who truly want to reach their goals in life. We all know that life is so much more than trying to beat an addiction. I think it would be sad if we let that part of life...

So, my girlfriend and I have been dating for almost 10 months. We have had such a great time thus far, and to say we love each other very much would be an understatement. Tonight, we tried to spice it up a little and try some casual dry humping but in a different position. Normally, we would do...

Hello Nofap family. As a kid I was never really confident and always had relationship attachment issues as a teen. To the point where I would consider myself a creep... I wanted to know everything about my crush as I let my jealousy fully take over my life. Now as a grown up I see this issue and...

Not sure if this is the right subforum, but hopefully someone will read this. I'm 21M, single, virgin. Just started nofap, have had some successes (25 day streak 1st attempt) and failures (multiple relapses afterward) but I'm still committed to it. Not an incel - had many opportunities to have...

I'm 50 days in and it's been a hard journey. I've been able to form this beautiful relationship through the help of God. Everything is going well and we tell each other how much we love each other. This has helped rise my will power and now I'm doing and trying new things that I never have...

We all have that one song. You put it on in your headphones, and drift with the music... you can get lost in somebody else's story without ever leaving your room. That one song that gives you relief when your world seems to be falling apart. That song that paints a perfect picture without ever...

I remember being in bed with my wife and really hating it. Wishing that she could get off me, although I love her. But she wasn't doing the things I saw in Porn, so it felt dumb. Sometimes I wished, she could go out so I can watch Porn undisturbed. Despite having the beautiful woman, that I...

So, This is my first post. I'm old 34 yrs, started in my teens. Heavy on porn. It is/was rhythmic. I had to masturbate morning then at night, it was a routine and i needed to stick to it. i was also a smoker for 10 years but cleared that years back. I would combine both for the ultimate...

I see far too many dumb teenage girls and their boyfriends over their age nowdays, and some even practicing sexual act with them, even though the abismal fisical differences. It's disgusting and quite pathetic

Hey Guys ! Today it's day 18 dir me in no PMO ! 2 days ago my best friend and I played fuck Mary kill together. For example the list is Person A, Person B and her. He always ranked her in mary ! I was very bewildert ! After that we played truth or Date, my Question was who he wants to fuck If...

I'm 37 days in am I'm glad to say I've been able to craft a beautiful relationship with a girl I legitimately love within these last few days. Five minutes of pleasure are not worth it. I'm moving towards the life of my dreams and am only 37 days in. I don't even want sex... I'm looking for real...
