Hi all. New and curious. Been battling PMO for years. Looked at NoFap multiple times but never got started. The wife and I have been connecting more recently and I've been on the verge of opening up to her about how much PMO is happening when she's not around. She just had a really impactful...

Hey NoFap Community, I hope you are all doing well. This is my first post on this place and it probably will not be last, but I hope to maybe be in the place to receive some valuable advice from you guys through this journey of ours! - Originally started watching porn from the age of 11-12...

I am new to here. I’m only on day 11. I have seen stuff about flatlining and was wondering if that is something everyone will experience or does it only happen to certain people based on the severity of their addiction? I’m just curious. I’ve seen some signs of improvement in my erections in...

Hi im warbird1991, I failed so many times. Last time just some minutes ago after a 12 day streak. I never registered here but know I decided to share about my journey. I struggle with severe flatline and ED lately. But most of all; I feel numb and Im not able to embrace the beauty of life...

After 7 years, a lot trials and tribulations, I've decided to face my life and challenges head on. I recently lost a huge life changing opportunity because of how much time I wasted PMO-ing. I was rather devastated and it still pains me till today. I've since then made up my mind to work on one...

I am so so so ashamed. This needs to end. I barely even have much money and I decide to dump so much into this addiction. I have lost too much. It must end. For real this time.

Hey. Im new in this NoFap thing. I´m currently with a week streak and, based on the website reaserch, i think it would be cool to have someone to talk about this stuff. Someone that´s in the same path as I am.

Hi everyone. I'm 20 years old, and my first exposure to porn was almost 10 years ago (masturbation too). During the 2020 lockdown my addiction worsened, and since I went abroad for med school 3 years ago it became the worst. I've always had the best marks during school, and my family had a...

I am 17 years old, been gooning for 4+ years. Tried to quit years ago, but failed and gave up. But I'm back now and want to quit. I find it very difficult to make it past a few days, as the urges slowly creep in when I don't notice, and catch me by surprise, or I lose control of myself and start...

Hi there! My name is Stan and I'm 24 almost 25 years old (I'll be 25 in 5 months), I'm aroace and I'm a journalism student at the National University of Entre Ríos, since 2020: and I started this NoFap because of things like low energy, distortion of reality, sleep disturbances, addiction and...

- Where it all began: I started looking at porn when I was 11 years old and began masturbating often at 13. I was doing it several times a day, so I developed a strong addiction and physical dependence on it, even though I no longer want to be involved with it. - First abstaining period: Now...

Hello everyone I've known about NoFap for such a long time & occasionally made progress but it feels the addiction / problem is sometimes too strong. This last year I've come to a realisation (or mental image realisation) that I though I was trying to defeat a Dragon... but once I've really...

(I'm sorry if I did any of this wrong please let me know if I did) It all started when I was young sneaking downstairs on the family computer, I hit puberty young with a massive sex drive, I thought it was a gift when I was young but now I understand it's a curse and I only ever made it worse...

Hey guys, Just wanted to write this small post regarding making my first initiative to fix myself and I guess the first step would be to admit I have an issue. “I am addicted to P”. I have tried many times to stop, my highest streak was 10 days. However I’ve never actively joined a group or...

Hi everyone, My story is quite similar to everyone else's on here. I started very young, watched a lot of porn and started masturbating and about 10 years later I realised how much of bad impact it's had on my life. I won't go into much detail about how it started since it's irrelevant for now...

Hi everyone, i decided to join this forum after another relapse. I was on the NoFap journey for a long time (a few years), had a lot of ups and downs, i want to overcome my pornography addiction and never get back to it, and share my progress with same-minded people. A little backstory about...

I’ve been addicted for as long as I can remember. Some stuff went down when I was a young kid, like being on Omegle, which kind of messed me up. But I never really think about it, you know? I just ignore it and avoid facing it. My current girlfriend hates my porn addiction. It even took me a...

Ive long suffered from porn addiction, and only recently recognized it as an addiction, I noticed after some time these past few days, I would watch porn for the sake of the dopamine spike, not because I was actually aroused initially. I was forcing myself to orgasm, I could literally FEEL the...

First up... sorry. This is a very awkward topic. Yes, I have just been diagnosed with zoophilia. I don't like it, it's intrusive and has needed with my entire life. It cane to a head recently and I have seen a brilliant psychologist who has shed light on aspects of my life that I never...

Sup! I am 21M, addicted to porn and masturbation for ~9 years (YES ITS AROUND A DECADE) I am fed up of this addiction as now its affecting my daily life. (Low energy, f'ked up sleep schedule, no focus on studies and a crazy fantasized brain) I won't talk much about my past. Its time to talk...

So today, I decided to make a change. I’m in my 40s I’m married deeply religious and I have never been able to shake the pornographic addiction I’ve had since I was 16. It’s ruined my life with my wife. I’m only able to perform sexually if I’m drugged up. I work from home and that doesn’t...

Yes, I look at a lot of porn. I am in fact addicted to this habit. I like to look at the same catalog over and over again up to 6 times a day. I prefer the catalogue of Hqporner because it is all the same and gets updated like 3-4 times a day and limits my choices for the day. I used to...

Hello, I hope everyone reading this is doing well. I really hope we can all fulfill our dreams. I'll refer to myself as "Todoestarabien" here, which means "Everything will be okay" in English, to motivate myself every time I log in. My situation is complex, but I'll try to be as brief as...

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. I’m new here. The book “Your brain on Porn” has brought me here. I have been an active porn user for 25 years. From ages 14-39. After reading the book I realized some of the problems I was having in relationships, sex , life fulfilling activities, work out motivation and such, just...

I'm 21, new here, I'm a total loser loner virgin & since I was 11/12 I've basically only ever masturbated, I'm convinced I've given myself Death Grip syndrome in some way, a number of months ago I received a blowjob and during this I noticed myself barely feeling anything at all, it was almost...

I was 12 when I first started due to peer pressure, I have hated that I'm addicted to it ever since and have been looking for an out for 6 years now. I do not enjoy doing it I don't feel much pleasure from it what so ever but I still do it out of habit and because I'm addicted. I'm just looking...

I'm a 47 year old gay man who has masturbated every day, but over the past couple years it has really gotten out of control, mainly as a result of my obsessive p- consumption. For the past year or two, I've been having an average of 3 PMOs a day, which wasn't so bad, one when I woke up, one...

Hi everyone, Im new here and I just recently realized that I have been severely addicted to porn for 10 years and severely relied on it for stress, feeling lonely, boredom without ever thinking it was a problem. This realization only came about because I started having more consistent hookups...

Hello everyone Im new to this Nofap life and I only recently discovered that I have been addicted to porn ever since I have been having more regular sex with actual people. I am most scared of the fact that I have discovered that I have PIED. Im really trying to overcome that and allow myself to...

I am in the middle of breaking into a new career, and it's tough, but I am gradually getting closer. I also like martial arts but haven't had the chance to explore it deeply in my life, but I want to change that. I am looking into Wudang and swordsmanship. Motivation: I have been following Dr...

I am 14. I stared Nofap (Specifically only abstaining from Porn, as I believe masturbation is not an issue, limiting myself to once a day) because I realized how abhorrent the effects of it can be and the industry that it nurtures is, but my subconscious still lingers on these things. I've...

Hello everyone. I am happy to the part of this community.Been thinking to join this community for a while but life came in between and was unable to join . Now as my name suggest, you all can understand i want to quit my porn addiction and live my life to the fullest again.I know we all are...

Hi, I'm new here. I wanted to write out my journey with porn addiction so far as much for my clarity as anything else but also to ask for advice moving forward as I'm not sure of the best path. Although I have been a regular porn user for the entirety of my adult life over the last 8 years it...

Hello there, I'm an 18 year old male. I learned about "discovered" M around almost 5 years ago, and then started watching P around a year later. After I got addicted to PMO, I found out that I wasn't the one who invented M and found out that it is prohibited (obviously that implies that I'm a...

Hello everyone. I’m 24M who began watching porn roughly around age 10. I’ve been addicted for years and it’s picked up in severity the last 6 months. I struggle to go even one day now. As I type this, I feel very little hope and virtually no optimism, but seeing such a focused and intentional...

Hi guys, I am August, a 18 y/o male who has been drugged up by porn and masturbation since the age of 12. I came to know about nofap after watching some Youtube videos and I am glad that I now, know about this community. Although I am into self improvement since the last year, I am too...

Hello there. I'm an 18 y/o male who discovered porn around the age of 12. Throughout middle and high school, my parents (whom I love dearly and always have my best interests at heart) had my devices on lockdown mode and they were able to see anything I searched up online. While I thank them for...

hi, my name is Adrian, I'm 22 years old (I'll be 23 on November 14). I have been recognizing for some time that I have a pornography problem. I am not very successful socially and therefore my sex life has been reduced to the internet. Currently I have even fallen into a disastrous...

Hi, I’m new here and have quit porn once and for all. I’m a few days in…. And want to know about your tips and recommendations! Porn had taken over my life in many ways, leading me to nofap. Really appreciate your help. Thanks.

Hi all. Been here before with not much success but as No Nut November coming round the corner, it feels like the right time to try this again. I’m a 38 year old gay male who quite frankly has had a porn addiction since my early teens. It has been just fairly a constant addiction which I never...

Hello all, I just created an account. I have been on this website a few times in the past, finally decided to sign up. I've been fighting my own battle with PMO. I am a catechumen studying Catholicism. I feel much stronger now with God. Hope to let my thoughts be known and make some...

Hi everybody! I am 31 years old male. I've decided to join the community because I suspect that I have porn addiction (PA) since I was 13 or 14 years old. My longest NoFap streak was about 30 days when I went to summer camp at the age of 16. After returning home from that camp I immediately...

I apologize in advance for my English, I can't speak it enough to write such a long text so I use a translator Hi, I'm new here but I heard about nofap about 1,5 years ago (not counting nnn). I took up the challenge at least 3 times - the first time I lasted about 1.5 months (but only without...

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...

Hello, I'm new here, I've been masturbating since I was 11 and watching porn since I was 12, I joined NoFap to regain my confidence, and end the distraction and addiction to masturbation and porn that brings me nothing beneficial. For the past 2 years I have always been trying to abstain from...

Hello I am 35 years old. I have been addicted to fapping and porn since I was 14 years old. I am now spending money on it sometimes and preferred live shows. Whenever I am alone I have this thought to fap then for sure regret it for a short time (sometimes an hour or two!) until the thought...

Hello, I am starting nofap to help become more productive and gain a better grip on my life. I've installed close to 10 website blockers/timers and have deleted anything annoying. I have been questioning my sexuality a lot lately but I have been unsure due to pornography addiction. Hopefully...

Hey guys, i've been on noFap since late 2019, i've had many streaks especially when i was younger. They all went alot smoother at the time but it's different now.. I am 69 days in (my furthest) and this brain fog is scaring me and aggitating me at the same time. If a thumbnail of a fully clothed...

It's quite funny, many times my friends and I would be critical to one another when something could have been done better we'd just say 'Be Better' to that person. It could be something as trivial as cycling on a lower gear and you know you can push yourself... Be better. I have been lurking in...

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

32 year old queer black male new on this journey and looking for an accountability partner.

Hello, I'm 20 years old and I'm looking forward to this journey. I discovered pornography at a super young age and I feel like it's one of the main reasons I missed out on so many experiences in childhood and in the present. Hopefully NF will help me with my anxiety and other social issues...

Hello! My english little bit, sorry. But i really hope to find a friends and support from community. I'm 32 years old and all my life is a totally destruction, depression and very low self energy. This is a direct consequence of masturbation, which began at about 10-11 years old. I would like...

I wish that I was done by now. I have so much that I want to do in life, and yet this addiction nips me in the bud every time, it sucks. We all know that dumb feeling we get after relapse, "Why the heck am I here again," that's me right now. I've watched porn for around 4 years now, I've traded...

Hi everyone, This is my first time using NoFap and as my title suggests I tried this before in 2018 without the support and information available on this website. I attempted what this website refers to as 'standard mode' but re-lapsed within 5 days of abstinence and unfortunately went on a...

Hello, I am new to the group and the movement. I’m here because I’m tired of hiding from my wife the fact that I watch porn and masturbate. Additionally, the thought of sneaking off in the future when we have kids to masturbate or watch porn strikes me as embarrassing and pathetic, but a...

Hello ladies and gentlemen! I have been ruining my life on a daily basis since i was 5-6 years old. I just now realise, at 27, that my brain does not function normally when it comes to the sexual side. I have started a journey of nofap + yoga exercices to try and recover. I decided to join...

Hi, I'm new here. I've never thought about joining a community to work through my stuff with -- but I'm hopeful and willing to try it. I've tried to break free with varying degrees of success for small streaks here and there, but have never gone a whole year without it. I think that's my...

New to NOFAP, not new to struggles. I'm 64 and have been into P&M since puberty. I quit for 90 days once and I guess I thought that the clouds would part but they didn't and so I returned. I've been a long-time recovered member of AA. Lately, I've been trying to apply what I've learned there to...

I decided to investigate this site. Been struggling with P&M since puberty. I've been a recovered alcoholic in AA for many years. Trying to apply what I learned in AA to P&M addiction. I quit once for 90 days. Thought the clouds would part but they didn't and so I gave in. Coming to the end of...

I came here because I had to quit time and time again but each time I fell back into it and so I redirected myself to here hoping to find people like me who want stop but he can't. Came here because I was compulsively masturbating and I'm starting to feel nothing.

Hi, I've been a heavy porn user for about 7 years, and I've been trying to quit for 5. I believe I had great attempts, being 57 abstinence has been my best shot. I've learned a lot about psychology, neurobiology, and brain chemistry to understand and try to solve the problem myself, but I...

I'm 29 years old and was first exposed to porn at 14. I used it regularly for many years before even recognizing it as a problem. After recognizing it as a problem, I attempted to quit all on my own, which lasted a couple weeks (with many relapses). After that the only thing I did about my...

Hello, NoFap community! I'm since yesterday starting a 90-days hard mode challenge! I'm so excited! So far, I'm feeling strong; I had some urges, but I have been experimenting with the concept of "urge surfing", and my girlfriend has been very supportive. My story with PMO is long. I'm a...

Im 18. Ive been trying for 3+ years now to quit jerking off and porn , but I kept failing , the highest streak Ive ever reached was 31 days . I feel like this addiction made me a slave to my impulses , extremely unhealthy ( all my joints crack a lot ) and a bad son , and a bad citizen . I know...

Hi everyone. Time for me to get a grip on things. Hoping being part of this will help :) All the best with all your journeys.

Hello Everyone. New member, long time user. Was first exposed to online images around 12, and have been steadily increasing my usage for the past 26 years. After some serous life stress, my use has steadily increased, to the point where I will watch multiple hours a day as a (poor) coping...

Hi everyone, I've been abstaining from PMO for 16 days now as part of a longer journey to lead a more straight-edge, God-honouring lifestyle. I'm just over 3 years sober from alcohol and cigarettes and I'm dabbling a little in veganism. PMO has been by far the hardest habit to kick. I've tried...

New Fapstronaut here. I'm 22 and a recent college graduate. I know that porn and masturbation has been holding me back. It has made it increasingly hard for me to get over my ex. So now, I'm taking the initiative to leave this terrible habit and the thoughts of her in the rearview mirror...

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

Hi, For my entire life I've only ever been truly aroused by femdom related ideas. This progressed into me watching increasingly intense femdom-related porn. I'm terrified I'll never be able to have a normal relationship because this is all I'm attracted to. I don't even feel excited about naked...

I've been a porn user and chronic masturbator for years. I discovered porn originally when I was 10 years old and was left to browse the net unattended. I didn't engage with it regularly until I was about 13 and by the time I was 15 it was definitely problematic use. This didn't change and only...

Today I’m going to start this journey, I hope to succeed.

Hello guys, I am in need for some help and prayers. I am Christian, although I am also into meditation; My first big nofap streak was 90 days, back in May 2015, I was 23... Now I am 30, and relapsed (for yet another time) after a couple of months. My goal is to reach a fap-free life, but still...

Hey guys I'm J. I'm a 27 yr old guy from the US whos been living with a crippling addiction to porn and hentai since i was 13. I have felt like a worthless human being for so long with no motivation, anxiety, brain fog, no energy, no confidence in myself, and lack of self esteem in my ability to...

It's an exhausting time. I think it's mostly due to self concept and the associations I've attributed to how much I DON'T want to be the porn addicted, sex-stimulation addicted fiend that I am. Maybe it's the physical impact. Maybe it's both. Either way, I'm fucking exhausted. I've been on...

Hello fellow fapstronauts! I'm about 72 hours into a PM reboot. I have committed to never looking at porn again. My wife caught me and it was the most humiliating experience of my life. I was expecting her to freak out but I got an eyeroll. I have heard about dudes being left over porn and the...

Hello friends, I’m in week 2 of my Porn abstinence and i ask my self what do you expect? Because of that my question: What can I expect after 1Month of abstinence? What are my benefits after this amount of time? Thank you for your help!

Greetings! I am new to NoFap, as the name of the forum suggests. What should I expect from a reboot on the so-called "Hard Mode"? How much will the wet dreams persist since the moment they started? Any information will help. I will be starting tomorrow, because today is already wasted. Thank you!

I am 23 year old male who has been fighting this curse for 12 years now on and off. That kind of means I’m not “new” so to speak but I am new to the forum as a poster instead of a lurker. Only until 2 days ago I had my longest streak of 52 days, but I relapsed and now I am back to square one...

Just want to say I am on day 6 of nofap and this is the farthest I have ever gotten before! I already feel amazing and I am starting to be less horny and talk to women easier. May God help me complete my goal which is not to fap at all this year!!!! I know is this is unrealistic but I at least...

Hi. I'm a 48 year old guy from Germany. I'm a porn addict. I fap since as long as I can remember, long before I began ejaculating. Maybe with 6 or so. As a kid it was my regular thing to do before sleeping. It still is. Then one day I needed to take a sock or something. Lingerie pages in...

Holy fuck, y'all. I haven't been here in over a year, but I didn't go all in like I could have. During that time, I justified any/every use of PMO I could think of - and my addiction spiraled out of control. Again. I felt miserable, slimy, and worthless, yet I exponentially craved more dopamine...

Olá pessoal, sou novo aqui

I am a 22 years male, new to the community. Porn has effected my studies, my whole career and life. I want to get out of this addiction, planning my first goal to be kept 25 days. My last streak was 20 after which I fell in a loop, and is relapsing every 4-5 days.

Hi everyone I heard about nofap from Reddit and decided I needed my life to change. After my last breakup I started watching porn almost everyday without caring what I was doing to myself.I plan on making it through October and seeing where I go from there. To be honest I also am looking for...
