married

Hi guys, my story goes the following. I´ve been addicted to pornography for 16 years now and started by the age of 13. For the last 6 years my intention was to break this habit and liberate myself from it. Somewhat I had some success and made it to streaks of 97 days and less. Overall, I think...

Hi 42 gay male here. I have been addicted and using sex, masturbation and porn since I was a young teen. It has always controlled me, and been my escape from reality. I gives me the feel good hit I need, but also the isolation and escapism from real life I crave. I have had lots of therapy, and...

Hello, this is my first post. I started looking at porn at a very young age. I think i was like 13 when i started doing it regularly. Im 39 now, married with 2 kids. I used PMO as a coping mechanism for my abandonment issues my whole life. Ive been married for 17 years. We had a great sex...

Day 1 (here) Day 3 of NF So, I think journaling is going to help me stay focused. And also I'm a writer and so hopefully my words, as well as my experience, can help to inspire others. I've had quite a lot of anxiety recently about my addiction and the potential for it to damage my...

In the morning! I'm new to Nofap a few weeks ago and have been reading up and now want to introduce myself as I am excited to be part of this supportive community. I'm a 34 year old man. I am married to a smoking hot wife of 2 years, been together for 6. Porn addiction for me was a slow...

Hi everyone, I'm Peter, I'm 45, married, father of one son. I am bisexual, I struggle with addiction to pornography and compulsive sexual behavior, with my sexual identity. My family suffers, my job, my self-esteem. I tried to quit it several times, but the longer I lasted, the more difficult...

My story, I think I started masturbating to phone sex when about 13, which racked up my parents phone bill. So imagination and fantasy to school girls and some Sunshine girls on the paper was mostly what I had. I started having access to internet porn with 18. Lesbian porn has always been my...

Greetings everyone, I embarked in the nofap journey to kick away the pmo habit and also to solve delayed ejaculation complications in the act of sex, I have had relapses here and there, but for the last 3-4 weeks I haven't consistently pmo'd at all. I am married and sex is a key element to...

My issues that have taken me far too long to come to terms with (or admit to myself, or whatever turn of phrase captures the idea best), have finally pushed my wife to issue a final ultimatum in our relationship. We've had the "big talk" a number of times over the years, as our sex life has had...

So i started my journey with the 100% intention of going full no PMO. Thats proving challenging, however, not for myself. Is anyone here married? and if so , what strategies do you use to stick to the plan?

Hi there, Well, lots of things to say, I will try to write them down here, not sure in which order. So, I'm 40, married, with children, and a beautiful wife I've been with for 15 years (and she was the one who took my virginity). Been fapping on porn for 20 years I think maybe a bit more (it...

Hey there, I'going for my final reboot, I'm more motivated than ever. The longest streak in the past were 155 days. But this time it's different because my wife knows about and want to support me. I wonder what experiences you guys have made with supporting partners. Maybe you have some useful...

Had a long talk with my wife tonight. Basically, we had sex last night. She felt a little bad about it last night, but felt much worse about it today (possible internal boundary violation). She's still struggling with the safety aspect of our relationship which is completely understandable after...

Hi, hope you all are doing well. I have been on hardmode for close to 6 months now - with no relapses. I am married and my partner is fully supportive. Also, I find her attractive and love her very much. Just wanted some advise from the community on a question/issue that has been really...

Hi All, I have been lurking on this forum since the beginning of my journey - and have found it extremely helpful in my journey - but am at a point where I need some help and guidance. I will try to keep my post as concise as possible. Background Age 32. Married. Got married in January 2021...

Hi there - I've been lurking on NoFap for a while and decided it was time to get a reboot thread going. Background: 33M, married 6 years, 2 kids 4 & 1. Been using porn since about age 12 or 13, daily use (or more) except for brief gaps throughout that whole period. Also had some issues with...

Hey Guys, Years ago I was on NoFap hard mode because I had a horrible porn addiction and I really wnated to get rid of it. When I finally buckled down I made it alomost two years! To make a long story short I got married and settled down but my wife ended getting diagnosed with a condition...

Hi Everyone! I'm a married 27 year old female who has had issues with PMO for years. I'm finally admitting to myself that it is an addiction and problem that I need healing from. I'm looking forward to learning from and connecting with other women who have shared in my struggles. I started...

I’ve struggled with SSA my whole life, but never identified myself as gay or even really wanted more than occasionally any sort of gay sexual experience. I think my SSA kind of got programmed into me through a combination of a distant father and anxiety/OCD (is that what the term HOCD refers...

im a bisexual guy , i used to enjoy having sex with men and woman , i met a girl , she's the love of my life , we got married a year and a half ago , after that i unfortunately started using grindr , i had few months without a job due to covid crisis so had a lot of home alone time , i was on...

Hello brothers, This might be a long post, but I hope it is worth it. I want to talk about my situation and my experience with nofap. I have been married for a year now with a beautiful 3 months old daughter. I knew about nofap “but not about PIED which is my main problem” 2 months before my...

A few weeks ago I was almost 480 days into my recovery, PM free, and had not any major slip ups. Then I managed to relapse by looking at NSFW images, engaging in deviant behaviour and lying about it. I told myself that I had let my guard down and that I couldn't let it happen again, only to do...

Well into our forth year of marriage, my husband got a terrible depression and escalated into something of a porn addict. While we had previously been exceptionally happy together (like really, really deliriously happy), everything just fell apart at that point. I found out that he had written...

I want to give back to this community and to all of our visitors here. I see how many guys are struggling. Some have been suffering for 20+ years, others for a decade and yet others are still teenagers. I haven't read all of the success stories so I am not familiar with the exhaustive list of...

Hi my name is Art. I have had problems with porn for years. Im married and want to get a hold of my life. I just gave into porn a hour ago and decided its time for a change. This is the beginning of my 90 day challenge.

Hello NoFap community, I am a 29 year old male. Married with one young child. I started pornography slowly in my early teens and the situation has since gotten worse. I am here to reverse that trend. I know there will be ups and downs, but I am more ready for the challenge than I've ever...

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...

I am married since 3 years but our sex life is completely absent, because of me... I am addicted to porn and can't be aroused in real life, therefore I didn't even have sex with my wife for more than 2 years now.. Yes 2+ years! When we first met 5 years ago now we were having sex regularily and...

Hello everybody. I am so glad to be a part of this community. The Monk mode the pmo option everything is so encouraging. Couple of months ago I was thinking of separate setting up something like this at a really small-scale. but did not know it already existed. I really hope my expectations are...

Hello All, Hope you are having a good weekend. I would like to join you all in the journey to NoFap, No PMO and ultimately to freedom. I am in my early 30s, married with kids. I started off with masturbation around the age of 16 and sort of went on and off until today. I have done NoFap...

Hey everyone, new to NoFap here. I’m a 21 year old female who has been struggling with porn addiction for almost 5 years now. I was first exposed to porn in the form of pornographic online games when I was 10. What I thought was a kids’ gaming website apparently also included adult nudity and...

Hi Friends, Yesterday, i almost fall again. Mi wife is depressed about many situations, she has a family history very difficult and today i recieve this situation. I love my wife, she dont know abaout my fight, because she has enough problems to make her carry this too. She is a trigger for...

Just like I said, I've kinda quit smoking... And I say "kinda" because I no longer buy cigarettes and I only smoke while I party wich is only a couple of times a year (yes, that's life when you reach 30's and your friends start to have babies). So that's my way of kinda quiting a bad habit, by...

Been using porn from the early days of the internet! I am 45 now... I am married, and my non-porn sex life is just fine - although, I guess like many married men my age, I would always welcome more ;) So, I suppose so far I manage ok with my porn addiction - I don't think it is extreme or very...

Hey all, Im 33 married with 3 kids and i have been addicted to porn since i was 12-14. In 2015-2016 i had several affairs. I was discovered at the end of 2016. My wife and i have been in recovery for 2ish years and we are learning a ton about what it means to be in healthy relationship. We...

Hello everybody. I am 63 years old, married for the second time and addicted to pornography and masturbation since I was 18 years old. As I experienced static pornography, before the Internet, I never had erectile dysfunction, other than my natural age. I take medicines for erectile dysfunction...

Hello everybody. I am 63 years old, married for the second time and addicted to pornography and masturbation since I was 18 years old. As I experienced static pornography, before the Internet, I never had erectile dysfunction, other than my natural age. I take medicines for erectile dysfunction...

Hi, yeah, I'm new to all this. I'm on day 5 PMO, and never tried this before. Though always thought that abstinence might be the doorway to enlightenment and happiness. Well, maybe. I'm married for over 15 years, and I think, in retrospect, that porn has probably always been a barrier to decent...

So... My husband has stopped watching porn. He doesn't think anything is wrong with it and has never hidden it from me. He only hid it on the browser history after I asked him to, years ago when every time I stubbled upon it, felt like a knife. Our sex life is empty. He says that he has low sex...

Good morning/afternoon/evening fapstronauts: This is my story and I want to share it with all of you. Thank you. I am 26 years of age, married, and I have been struggling with PMO for the past 15 to 16 years. I believe it’s best to go back to all of the times I was exposed to pornographic...

Hey just joined. Just feeling my way around and reading so I don’t post something against the forum’s norms. I will say I want to quit porn really bad. I am still sexually active with my wife and I love masturbation. I’m not sure I am here to quit that. Maybe looking for some support form some...

Hi to everybody and first of all - sorry for my ENG. I really need YOUR advice guys. Am 41 y old married guy who has a nice relation in his family: a sincere and loving wife and kids. And I LOVE and TRUST her a lot too. Due to the many problems, my wife and I have faced during our 20 years being...

I am a wife to a very good and loving husband. We've been married for a little more than two years, we have a beautiful daughter and I'm currently pregnant with our second. He's a resident and works so hard with crazy shifts and long hours. It's important for me that when he comes home he feels...

When I was a teenager I knew that masturbating was not a good thing. I mean it does show I'm growing up healthy by having these desires, but watching pornography and touching myself I don't know I put a lot of guilt on my shoulders. I became very sexually frustrated and curious. When I turned 19...

Hello! I’m addicted to porn. I think that’s how therapy starts right? J/k. In all seriousness, I do have a problem with porn. I’ve been watching porn consistently since the age of 12. It started with lingerie catalogs and VCR tapes, then evolved into HD Hi-speed Internet porn. I am...

Hello I'm 25 years old and since I was a teen I very occasionally would have a stint of watching porn all night until the sun came up and even then I felt the shame and regret from how deep I got but in Hindsight, I was much more conscious then as a hormone ridden teen which is unfortunate. My...

There was a thread created in here a while ago About creating a group for those of us married fapstronuts that are continuing the recovery efforts after a hard mode reboot, or 5-6 months of continuous sobriety. We know we still need help and support after this time, and it is a way for us to...

Hi guys. I started NoFap 201 ago and now I feel better than ever in last 15 years. I got married, started to rebuilding my business and met some new exciting people. I read a lot of tips how to deal with PMO. I tried a lot of them, some of them I recommended to other people, some of them I mady...

I’m searching for other NoFap’s to form a support group. Online or better in a WhatsApp group who are dealing with porn addiction and SO. I am already in one group but would love to have married people. I am 47, married with a 9year old. My SO is not down with my PA and I could really use advice...

Hi all I am a 33 male from Egypt , i am married and have a wonderful kid only 2 yrs old . I am Muslim and always feeling guilty after the whole PMO . My birthday was from 1 week , and took a promise on my self not to watch porn again. Unfortunately I was watching porn from 26 years (9507 days)...

This presentation is so true for me personally. I have been: - in a good/healthy long term relationship, - unwantedly single, - and since a couple of years I volentairily chose to stay single and not be dating/celibate. In my case. I am now (volentairily single & not dating) overall as about...

I am now 42 years old, married and we have a child. Back during my childhood, youth and adulthood: My mother plays a significant role in the (negative) development of my life. She was victimized by her own mother, rejected and verbally abused. As a consequence, she did the same to me. Often I...

This is my first time ever posting to any kind of message board, and first time on NoFap. I'm aiming for 90 days without porn or masturbation. Porn has been a part of my life since I was a teenager. I've managed to drastically reduce my use of porn since being with my amazing wife for the past...

Hi, I just found this website and joined after doing some research on how to stop my porn addiction. I’m married but never stopped watching since I could rent Porn then moved to online. I started with straight porn but now also watch gay Porn. I watch when I’m stressed and bored. I know it has...

3 days removed from dday. Every day has been hard for me and my wife. Not from any PMO urges, just the damage I have done. She is mad at me this morning because I didn't wake up when she got out of bed with the kids. I feel like I'm trying to learn about my addiction to PMO to give me the...

7 years Yep, that's right. Just crossed over. Seven years of gradual improvements. The previous twenty+ was filled with garbage. There was no one any worse than me. Destroyed one marriage, a family with kids shattered by my stupidities repeatednesses. So, no huge celebrations, exactly. But...

I am a 30 year old male just joined the community a few days ago. I have been using P since I was 19 and M as early as 10. It is only after I got married 4 years ago that I really started to work towards being free of these behaviors. I could see the effects of my habits on my relationships...

Good Afternoon to you all. I am uncertain whether real names are appropriate here, so for now i will just go by the moniker of MattressMan. I just learned of this community in the previous week, so please forgive me if there is any breach in etiquette or protocol. I guess i will start by...

I’m 33 and Without knowing it, I rebooted myself about 10 years ago after realizing watching too much porn was causing trouble in the bedroom. I was afraid to tell my wife that it was my porn addiction causing my lack of performance. She started accusing me of cheating or not finding her...

Hey guys, I started when I was maybe in 5th grade. I'm 31 now. Never stopped with PMO. I was always in a relationship with a girl since I was 17. After a handful of girlfriends, I've been married for the last 2 years. My addiction to P definitely has taken a toll on the intimate side of my...

Years ago I had to have sessions with a psychologist because of anger issues I had. It the sessions the psychologist made me give a score from 1 to 10 for various emotions or things happening in my life. The exercise helped me realize there was a correlation between my anger and my idleness. It...

Hello everyone! I'm a 40 year old heterosexual married male who's been into PMO since the dawn of time (LOL). I've always been a computer enthusiast, so I've been into online porn since the early nineties, which is a whole lot of time! I've had calm times in my life and they've always been...

Where do I start? I met my husband in high school. He and I were just friends. We reconnected eight years ago (2009) on Facebook. Both married. He was in the long process of a horrible, bitter divorce from a woman who cheated on him with at least ten guys WHILE he was deployed and I was in a...

Hi, This is my first time here, or ever posting about nofap, as a matter of fact... I've been at this habit since I was around 12... That's when porn entered into my life, but I was stimulating myself in different ways earlier as well. Today I am at day 53 nofap/not using porn and day 27 since last...

I had no idea that this was a thing to be honest until i saw the video from Terry Cruise talking about his addiction to pornography. He did not mention this site per se however based on the algorithms that youtube uses, many of the supporting videos mentioned NOFAP reddit. So i clicked on those...

Trying to walk out of this challenge and have been P and O free since April 12, 2017, last M reboot August 10, 2017. Looking to tie in to the power of connection to continue this journey. Attend SLAA meetings but also getting great guidance from podcasts, such as Matt Dobbschuetz Pornfree Radio...

Excited but nervous. I'm a 58 year old male who finally admitted his porn problem to his wife. Our marriage is on the brink. I want to save it and be a better man. 5 days PMO.

Hello everyone. I'm going to be turning 31 this year. I am married and have a son who is 3 years old and a daughter on the way. PMO has pretty much killed any emotions and love I have had for my wife. We have been married for 5 years. Nearly all of that time I have been addicted to PMO. I have...

I'm 51 been married for almost 30 years to a attractive and sexy woman. So why would I need PMO. Well it started in the seventh grade I was cleaning it and it went off, I didn't even ejaculate but the feeling was unreal. Then later instead of giving me the talk my dad handed my a stack of...

I'm 32 year old and married (no kids). I'm a software engineer by profession. I started masturbating when I was 15 and got hooked into porn when I was 18. I always thought that I would easily get rid of this when I have a stable partner or get married, but it proved terribly wrong. I read about...

Hello everyone! My last "60 days clean" success report can be found here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/married-and-not-looking-back-60-days-clean.86057/ Today is day #232... What have I learned so far? There is one BIG thing which I had learned which I really want to share...

Hi guys and gals. I'm a married 42 year old who is here because I have an amazing sex life sadly it's not with my wife! I realised I was masturbating (99% to porn) rather than making love with my wife. Last night we had sex which was amazing and was the catalyst to me starting nofap today. My...

I'm literally 12 hours removed from doing the deed. I did a Google search early this morning on whether or not listening to porn was as bad as watching porn and I stumbled upon this website. I started reading the forums and I found myself really relating to people's personal experiences and...

Like many, I started using porn in middle school. I didn't of it as porn, because it wasn't video or pictures that got me, it was stories. I love books so the stories "worked" well for me and lulled me into an addiction. By the time I lost my virginity (freshman year of college), I had built up...

I am at day 40 of a hard 90 day reboot. I have had a few difficult moments, but for the most part I have done much better without porn than I thought. But now my libido seems to be edging back up, and I am concerned. If it continues going stronger, that should be a good sign, but it might make...

Hi, It's complicated, and the more I try and put my thoughts into writing the more complicated it's becoming. I've just stumbled across this from a Google search as I'm fed up wasting my time, energy (& occasionally money) on viewing porn, and it's getting harder (no pun intended) to find...

hey guys my names jake; im a case worker, and i play a coaching role in the lives of a lot of other people. i decided to use this site because pmo has been a crippling force and a constant source of guilt as well as an abuse of my time since i was a preteen. it has also made me question the...

I've decided to improve my life by giving up porn. I'm a 40 year old man, a good (I believe) husband and dad but I feel I'm wasting my time on seeking worthless visual thrills instead of enjoying worthy stuff, enriching my personality and spending quality time with my wife & kids. What's been...

Hi All, I am a married man, 30 years of age. I have been into P almost all of my adult life, ever since I found high speed internet. I was doing it atleast once everyday for the last 10 years of my life. I got married a couple of years ago and didn't realize what was waiting for me. My...

Hi all. I am a Spanish man, 37 years old. I am Spanish, so forgive my mistakes in English. I remember that I masturbated firstly in my life when I was 12, and I have not been able to be more than few months without it, even though I've never enjoyed it. I am a Christian, and I would like to stop...

I'm not sure if my story is the same as many here, but I know that I want to have the same success. I feel I should give you some background. I'm a 41 year old married man who has always been somewhat of an introvert. I was first exposed to porn at a very young age and possibly because of that...

Today is my one year anniversary of being PMO free. I am 43 years old and have been addicted since I was a teenager. I had tried many times to get better but always found it too difficult to quit. I never understood why I failed despite trying so many different things. My wife knew I was...

There was a reason that I stumbled upon an interview with the founder of NoFAP on NPR a couple of months ago, and kept the site up in my favorites while continuing along the cycle of despair. I am BRAND NEW. I have been married for 19 years and although there have been a few bright moments, this...

I really would like to use this community to overcome what is really an addiction. I never took any drug apart from a few joints in my youth but this heights I do know. And can't do without...up to now....
