Hi All, I'm 23 years old guy. I started masturbating from very early age (since 10 year old kid) without knowing about masturbation. The craving for that feeling made me an addict to Masturbation. I got introduced to porn during my early college days and i literally became a slave towards PMO...

Hey guys! I, unfortunately, relapsed recently and it was due to my lack of discipline and self-restraint. I figure that it's due to my lack of meditating. I try and do it as often as I can but I always put it off. So my question is, How much does meditation help? Why does it help and how...

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...

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...

For the past couple of days, I`m keeping up abstinence over social media and some form of entertainment.. since I`ve decided to have a constructive way of recreation. in my schedule of entertainment list, there`s always big NO for social media, Insta, youtube (download and watch some...

Meditation has to be a part of your NoFap journey .An important part at that, especially if you are on hard mode. It's one thing to resist an urge and feel good after you have successfully resisted it. But by doing that, you are only forcefully pushing the urge to the background, and it is sure...

Ive decided to follow and do meditations to feel better, and calm me down.. in recent days ive been receiving some uncomfortable and embarrassing memories from my past.. so i would like to know whether i can get rid of these thoughts with hypnosis or hypnotherapy.. thanks in advance..

Preface Here I am laying down in a couch, wandering between the realms of consciousness shattered around in hyperspace by some crazy substance. It’s clear to me now, I can feel it in my entire body and soul, as if I needed this blast out of the canon again to tell me it’s over. It’s been a long...

Hence, ive been reading, and come to about various kind of meditation such as yoga nidra, self hypnosis techniques e.t.c.. I do seriously practise on writing down, saying out positive affirmations, doing regular meditation.. still i feel not so confident about reprogramming our subconcious...

Today ive come up with an interesting question when i was in deep state of meditation.. we are quite familiar with lucid dreams.. the dreams that we can take control of it.. so we could do whatever in that sequence, even some people are able to resume the same sequence of dream again and...

Hi all, had some thoughts I'd like to share. Currently almost up to 50 days hard mode. Have made huge strides in this short amount of time, especially in transmuting this energy into new endeavors and progress. In this short amount of time I've gained about 25 pounds of muscle, hit multiple...

While rebooting is very important and feels good, It does take some effort and it might be hard. But the hardest things done will give you the best results. So you might be doing it ; Staying out of doing PM and when you are at it, you be like wondering what to do ? Because, earlier you had a...

I've already started it and hoping that I'll complete this successfully. Some tips: 1.) WHY are you doing this? You should know your WHY. Write down your reasons that are more compelling than the 5 seconds of instant gratification. Whenever your brain tries to convince you to watch porn and...

Hi guys, wanted to share something with you all. I started NOFAP a week ago, because of my sP addiction issues, and problematic sexual behaviour and other problems in life. As much as i have seen that this program does people good, i am not gonna log in for 2 months. Why? Because one of my main...

It's now been about 7 months of NoFap for me. Initially the focus was to not do PMO. NoFap led to semen retention which has been a very different focus. Last night after another ~ 2 week streak I had a "spontaneous ejaculation". It seems one way or another ejaculation happen for me after...

I wanted to write a post about how important meditation and mindfulness has been in my recovery. Firstly I am no expert, i'm not a monk or a hippie I am just a huge believer in the mindfulness. Imagine when you are hanging out to PMO....you know the feeling. Your mouth goes dry, your focus...

I'm a huge fan of Dutch Guru Wim Hof and his breathing techniques. Have lots of good things backed up by science that is very easily to implement into your meditation regime... Check out these videos for info / how to guide.

Has anyone tried Wim Hof breathing? I'd be interested to hear the long term effects that you might have found beneficial or any other experiences. I am trying it now so far without any signficant benefit. Cheers all

Here I am. I've been watching porn since i was at least 11, although it might have been earlier than that, I can't remember. I'm ready to be done. I can't reconcile my porn use with how I want to live my life. I'm 22 now, and studying to become certified as a personal trainer. I'm in a...

So it' nearly a month that I've started my new streak and today's urges are crazy!!! I do have a boner most of the times and the flashbacks of porn keep flooding my mind. Still I managed to control them... I laid down on the floor with my back facing the ground and observed my thoughts and...

Hello everyone, I’m on day25 semen retention. I’ve been an avid meditator for years and new that ejaculating reduced my internal energy but still continued for some reason. I finally decided to stop wasting my seed and store my jing. I’m currently trying sexual transmutation in meditation...

I did it for about 6 minutes. At first I just wanted it to be over so I could do something else and the thoughs were racing through my head, but towards the end it started feeling better and I was getting into it. Then it was over. Any advice or experiences with meditation?

Hi all. When I was giving up smoking, I remember reading a book called the Chimp Paradox, which suggests that there are two parts to us - the first is the real us, who wants the best for ourselves and thinks rationally. The second is the chimp. The chimp just wants immediate gratification. It...

so while I am on Day zero still, my musings on mindfulness and the power of PMO to distract, self-sooth, self-numb. At the core of every one of our PMO practices no matter how diverse, perverse, frequent or just strange is the drive to distract ourselves: distraction from whatever it is that...

Hi, My name is Kaizen. I choose this name because this is very matter for me. Kaizen mean, put a certain work each days without stopping and you will have safe and real evolution. This is my philosophy in my life. I'm pushing my self to do the stuff I need to become who I really need to be and...

Hi, I got a tip from someone close to me to read Eckhart Tolle’s ‘Power of now’.. It could help me with dealing with previous past expierences and future expectations and pressure of life.. Anyone of this community read it? What’s you expierence? Opinion? Thoughts?

Hey guys, I've been in flatline for a while and it was horrible.. No morning wood, no spontaneous random erections, even if I do manage to get one it won't last longer than 10 seconds and pretty weak. Can't remember the last time I had a wet dream lol. As @JesusGreen talked about Vitamin B6...

Hi All, I'm new to NoFap and wanted to know on the pitfalls of masturbating, as I'm trying to move my energies upwards ! I really would love any advice on how this effects effects me! Personally, I feel a slight reduction of energy! But could someone elucidate more on this? Anything more on...

Greetings fellow fapstronauts! I'm surely on my way to becoming a monk it seems. I have long discerned between two voices in my head: the “little voice” and the “big yeller.” The little voice is the voice of reason, your inner center of truth and higher self that wishes for you to grow...

Hey everyone, As awful as it feels to be back here, I'm also glad there is a support system here to hopefully help and accompany me on this annoying as heck journey. To begin with, I'm gay so anyone who has issues with that should click return. I wonder where should I start, but I'll make it...

Hello fellow fapstronauts; I have been addicted to porn and masturbation for 17 years. It, like many other people here, created barriers to socializing with people. I had this unrealistic expectation when it came to interacting with women and would immediately become anxious and uncomfortable...

I have 2 chronic STDs and I'm going through a treatment course currently. During this unspecified time (It may be a year) I can't have any sex encounters at the same time I want to keep abstaining from PMO. If the best solution is meditation then I kindly ask fellow fapstronauts to share...

I've been doing nofap for over two and a half years, I've never tried monkmode and fuck it, I'm in. Only doing things that add to my life and nothing that hurts it. Meditating every day, ice bath or cold shower, Stretching, getting a job. Keeping it real! Wish me luck!

Looking for tips from experienced meditators. I have been meditating (mainly Vipassana and mindfulness type) for 20-30 minutes a day for about 3 months now, and I am on Day 21 of my current Hard Mode NoFap streak. My problem with meditation is not so much related to thoughts as I am able to...

With PMO comes a trail of moodiness, regret, anxiety, irritability and even depression. This in turn leads to more PMO as a "feel good" high. It's a bad loop and we all have to recognize our triggers/urges. I feel breathing exercises elicit a state of meditation and mindfulness, along with...

I have recently passed the 90 days mark. 90 days of hard mode; no porn, no masturbation, no orgasm. That was my first try and I had very difficult moments. Yet deeply centered, I managed to find a way every time. Here I will try my best to share with you what I have achieved, some tips which can...

Hello everyone I wanted to ask all you guys a question on how I can boost my productivity. I consider this problem to be separate from sexual urges. A lot of days when I survive by not masturbating and being able to control myself, I am still upset because I didnt get enough studying or any...

Today and yesterday I have been browsing a dating site. You can probably guess what I was browsing it for. Anyway, I got into a Skype conversation with this woman and she sent me nudes. I admit that was what I wanted. I ogled at the pics for a couple of seconds before blocking her and deleting...

This body that we ride in is just like a car. Do you put the good gas in, change the oil, and drive it daily for good performance? Do you eat good food, detox or fast couple times a year, and give it exercise and rest it deserves? For me lately I've been eating a vegan diet(not for everyone...

This thread will precisely tell you step-by-step how to meditate and to eliminate the urges to relapse. There are a lot of terrible YouTube videos saying that, "NoFap is not to get you to quit masturbating, it's to get you to take the complex steps to gratification and not just seek instant...

I've read how massive are benefits of meditation and I thought to create a challenge for you guys and myself, to do meditation every day for at least 10-30 minutes. I've read also that meditation changes the brain structure and the cerebral cortex thickens also increased gray-matter density in...

I am a 22yo M new to NoFap community but not it's knowledge. I had been developing my meditation techniques to get rid of harmful habits in my life and was doing well. I was focusing on what matters like school, not masturbating constantly, spending quality time with my SO and having a healthy...

Hello all, I am new to NoFap. I'm 28 and I have been watching porn since I was 11 years old. I have been struggling with PIED and I am done with porn controlling my life. Ive tried to quit several times before, but I would always find myself "just checking the new videos." That always...

I just enrolled for a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat. Anybody here who has done this ?

Embarking upon a new journey from tomorrow. I've had enough of porn consuming my life. It has destroyed me and brought me to my knees. I was once a confident and extremely motivated person, and over the last 5 years porn addiction has reduced me to a dumb, low self-esteemed, unmotivated...

Hi all. Have you ever wondered: how come I'm struggling with this when I see so-and-so, who is living life and not worrying about anything? I've come to think about it. This is all our own fault. There is deeper level of truth about taking responsibility and drop the excuses. That level...

A lot of you probably know about this one, but anyways, cold showers and meditation are so helpful while on nofap. Cold showers not only wake you up in the morning, but also boost your attention and alertness. For nofap this is key because your mind doesn't slip that easily. Meditation also...

I do meditation regularly for quite some time now and I want to share some tips for people who want to try meditation or are already doing it. If you can breath, you can meditate. Meditation doesn't require a lot of time or special abilities. It's really beneficial and it won't take much of...

Do you get this too? You can hear your thoughts and visualise pretty well...it's not quite the same as brain fog but you're too agitated to pay attention. You probably feel too lethargic to even stand up, so you sit down on a bench or lay down in bed. None of the new posts on facebook...

Have been in and out of NoFap for last 5 years. I'm into all forms of self improvement, NoFap being one. A nofap accountability partner who can make phone/skype CALLS to each other, challenge each and share tips would be great. I've studied evolutionary biology+psychology and addiction so I'd...

Hi Everybody, I believe that meditation should be a lifestyle (because it helps with nofap) and not just a challenge. Then why take this challenge??? I believe that this challenge will give you some momentum to continue and make it a lifestyle. I believe the mantra"Small success gives you the...

"In his comparative ranking of sins, applying philosophy to the common man's distinctions, Theophrastus says that offences of lust are graver than those of anger; because it is clearly some sort of pain and involuntary spasm which drives the angry man to abandon reason, whereas the lust led...

So I began the NoFap Challenge successfully on November 16, 2016. And I have not watched pornography since then. However, there have been numerous complications that I believe may have prevented my full progress on this challenge. First of all, my girlfriend (of three years) and I often give...

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...

Hey everyone! So last night I meditated for like 30 minutes (I usually 10 minutes) with music and I was fine for most of it but when I was in a Zen like state a part of my back started to hurt. Like one specific section. It was part of the spine where it lines up with the top of your stomach...

This has been a serious thought in my head. I've also actually met a solitary who lives deep in the wilderness in his van. Would you guys ever do it? and for how long? I feel like it would be an amazing journey through the inner recesses of my soul. It's something that been on my mind for...

Hey what's up NOFAPPers, My name is Boris. For as long as I can remember (since Junior High), masturbating to porn has been one of my worst habits. I can honestly say that it's hard to go a day without opening up Pornhub and jerking off once, sometimes even 2-3 times/day. I notice that my...

Hello to all you Fapsronauts!! I am posting tonight from London in the UK. I am obviously new to Nofap and I am writing this thread on day 13. I first got to know about this subject when I read about sexual transmutation in Napoleon hills book "think and grow rich". As a keen meditator and...

Hi everyone! I am a regular visitor in the forums but today I decided to register and post a thread :) Tomorrow will be my day 40 of hardmode rebooting, still counting to 90 (and beyond) of course. In that period I have meditated, filled creative goals and been generally happy and mentally...

Yesterday, I meditated to these four healing vibrations for addiction healing, genital healing, male energy healing, and male confidence. And those frequencies have helped me a lot. They've reduced my urges, they've made me have low libido, they've made me have more strong and natural...

What's your meditation practice like? Personally, I meditate every morning for 10-20 minutes. I practice zen buddhism. But I also sometimes incorporate the teachings of Nichiren. I have a small spot in my room behind a folding screen where I meditate. What's everyone else's practice look like?

The most annoying distraction Durning meditation is mosquitos. It can really make you irritated and will make you frustrated very easily. I like to Meditation in out door. I go to park and sit cross legged on park bench under the tree and do meditation. Being in India you can find mosquitos...

I originally posted this on Reddit, but it didn't gain much traction. Still, I thought people would benefit and post it here as well. Here it goes. I have been battling PMO for about 2 years. My biggest streak was 3 months. Other than that I very rarely stayed clean for more than a week. So...

I am writing here after a long time. In the past I have tried many times to reboot my brain, but after 10-15 days, it seems pointless. The main problem with me is fantasizing while on the bed and trying to look at women with big boobs during the day. More than porn or masturbation, I wish to...
