ocd

The idea that a normal person can move from "normal" porn to more deviant or even illegal porn just doesn't make sense to me. How can one be aroused by extreme/taboo porn without a pre-existing paraphilia? Doesn't that sound like denial of paraphilia? EDIT: Note that people use "porn...

Day 327 in the early hours of the morning I couldn't sleep and I had got to thinking about video games, namely one I had played on the eve of a relapse just before this run and then a litany of flashbacks about the thoughts and pmo from around that time flashed back to me and it was mostly...

So first off, I'm 25 and have been on a No PMO streak since New Year's (nine days - ignore my counter). Around two or so years ago, I would have these super long and drawn out masturbation sessions, where I would compulsively and aggressively masturbate. I have OCD, which was severe at the time...

Hello, this is my first time posting on these forums ive been struggling with PMO for 6 years now. My current streak is about 30-40 days, ive never made it this far before, i have noticed that i have more confidence in talking to people, ive never had the confidence before to post on internet...

Hey so I am a 18 year old male or atleast I am pretty sure. I had a great life all 18 years. I had always been manly, never done anything feminine or ever liked it in my life. Nothing to do with trans, nothing my childhood and everything was manly and masculine, loved myself so far and still do...

So, a few days ago, Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder, has made a video discussing the topic about dopamine and behavioral addictions, specifically social media addiction. Although she didn't discuss porn addiction specifically, I think it might be relevant to discuss here and what you think of her video...

I just finished this 6-part mini series, called PURE (click here for wikipedia article). But before I tell you how awesome it was I have to give out a massive TRIGGER WARNING - there is a lot of love, sex, nakedness and sexual vibes in this mini series. So think twice, if you are ready for this...

Hey everyone, I'm M23 I wanna share something here and need your opinions too (sorry guys my English is not much good) --right now I'm on nofap MO 25days and P relapsing after every week)-- I'm watching porn and Mstrbn twice weekly since last 9 years I know it's too much but that's the truth...

So im gonna start this off by saying that im a 16, about to be 17 year old male. I would also really apreciate if anyone reads this/posts their opinions on my situation. But to understand my story you are going to have to know some backstory. Up until the age of 9 i lived in Croatia, and...

Hi there everyone… For privacy reasons I will not disclose my age unless I am asked privately and it is relevant… Anyways I have to explain myself here because I need answers… Also I have Aspergers and OCD so keep that in mind… For a long time I have been watching porn… I have developed HOCD...

Hi, I am new to this forum and wasn't sure whether this thread should go here or in Problematic Sexual Behavior. Please let me know or simply move it if I chose wrong. Thanks Does anyone have words of advice or input? Or been through something similar?

Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me. I have severe OCD since I was 10 now i’m 26, and I had HOCD and other OCD themes before this happened. My OCD became much worse two years ago because of severe Groinal responses. Groinal responses I had gave me unwanted orgasms. I hate to even...

I have had OCD for most of my life, but I did not know that this was what it was until this past year or so. Nofap has been so difficult because I have sexual themes to some of my obsessions. I had so many compulsive behaviours to deal with the bad thoughts. I treated it like an enemy that I...

So I suffer from pretty severe OCD (diagnosed) and I'm constantly getting bombarded with sexual intrusive thoughts/images, either from porn I've watched in the past or just sexual intrusive thoughts/images in general. No matter what I do I can't seem to shake these thoughts off. I've tried...

I have been an OCD patient for a long time. I have been suffering from POCD for a while. Recently I was browsing the homepage of a porn site. I saw a video, the girl's face was invisible, but her body was petite. Then unwanted thoughts came to my mind, but I previewed the video, just for a few...

I've been suffering a pmo addiction for thirty years now. Joined nofap a long while ago, but recently rediscovered the site. Here's some hopefully helpful advice and discussion from a fellow battler just now coming to real terms with his addiction. Probably one of my first huge roadblocks was...

So I suffer from a lot of certain sexual ocd’s hocd, etc. sometimes I arousal test out of anxiety to make sure that I am not aroused to something. is this a relapse? I don’t want to get horny, I just feel the need to make sure I’m not aroused to something that I don’t want to be.

I’m writing this just to get something off my mind. I relapsed late last night after around 12-14 days I did it multiple times (full pmo) The extra times were because of terrible ocd intrusive thoughts during orgasm. (I’m not a pedo, but visual thoughts about a child). the ocd makes me feel...

Hi, guys İt's shame i know but i really don't know how to break the cycle of the relapse. İ need to stop masturbation and porn immediately but i can't. İ relapsed today about 4 times and i still want to relapse at least 3 or 4 times but i don't want to do it at all. But i feel if i didn't...

Hi, guys İn the last relapse, i watched some transwoman masturbation porn and i masturbate to them and there were scene i didn't masturbate to it but it was disgusting, so i was Skipping it till it ends because i feel i couldn't close it and i was still reading the name of the scene to be sure...

Hi Everyone, I reluctantly used this forum originally after what felt like a lifetime of porn addiction, around the 2013-15 mark (if my memory serves correct). After many successful years, It appears I am back again. I'm a 25 year old male who has been using porn on and off for around 15...

Today is my 36 day and i only masturbated once because i was trying to do external prostate massage as i have a prostatic engorgement for about 3 weeks and i can't urinate normally, so i decided to do this massage under warm water ,but during this massage i felt that i really need to release...

Hi, today is the 22nd day of my reboot, during the first 10 days I had a problem that I mentioned here https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/could-you-advise-me.307443/#post-2974665 and here https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/scar-on-my-soul.307591/#post-2977247 And 2 days ago I...

So I have OCD and got PIED in October 2020, and through trial and error managed to get my current streak of 150+ days PMO free, to the point of not even desiring porn anymore (but of course not wanting porn doesn't fix PIED). and during my streak, more so in the latter half of my current...

For literally as long as I can remember, I've been into BDSM. Dom. I've watched sooooo much hardcore BDSM porn throughout the years. In adulthood, I read a post talking about how if you liked self bondage you might want that domination and merely have trust issues. I had experimented with self...

İn the last relapse six days ago, and in the former one, i was relapsing in both till i caused an injury to my penis, so i have a scar on my penis which is not so obvious but it's there if you looked with concentration. Every time when i try to get a shower and i looked at my penis i remember...

today is the fourth day for me, and every day once I wake up before even getting out of bed I find myself had an intrusive picture from a certain pornographic film in my mind although the sexual part is blurred. but I still have these thoughts which is disturbing me a lot and makes me energyless...

Today is the third day or second day of my reboot and I'm still have a picture in my mind from porn movie i watched although i masturbated to each sence in the movie but I'm still having pictures from this movie in my mind that doesn't go at all. Actually, while I'm writing it now i started to...

Hi, guys Few day ago i posted this post https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/can-this-cause-cancer-please-answer-me.304764/ And since then I'm still hooked in the the ocd loop and i read many posts and academic researches about it and i discovered there are some evidence that it may...

In my last relapse(which was 2 hours ago), i had a strong ocd about my sexual potency,so i relapsed again but i said I'll only watch the usual video (a specific video I'm watching since 3 years in every relapse) because I don't want to have a repetitive picture in my mind of the video. And...

hi guys, I couldn't abstain for even 3 days, and I relapsed just now,i was relapsing till I caused ulcers to my dick which is really hurt. after my relapse I broke accidentally some glass cups and I got a small injury from them, so my mind is telling me to relapse again in order to assure about...

hi guys, in the last relapse, I was using the telegram app to look for porn and I opened a random channel to discover that the first video is gay porn, so without any assurance, I scrolled away from this video but I need to assure because I said my mind may trick me, so I rescrolled but I didn't...

Hi guys, I'm suffering OCD and i always watch lesbian and solo girls as usual, and it's so rare to watch transwomen. in this relapse, i watched a transwoman and now my mind remind me with a certain scene to do as she did, although i watched the usual stuff after this scene. Now it's 17 hours from...

Hi all, I’m a new member of this forum. I suffer with a form of OCD that gives me deeply unpleasant obsessional sexual thoughts and images. I will not go into detail as it is quite traumatic. I suffer with anxiety and depression because of the intrusive and obsessional thoughts. I have...

I noticed when I take a bath with warm-like water, I feel like PMOing when Porn images trigger my brain before, after, or during bathing. Otherwise, when I take a bath with cold-like or cold water, even with Porn or hot girls images passing through my mind, I don't feel like fapping. Is there a...

Okay, so I have a question. After joining this NoFap Community and reading a lot of posts made me realize one thing that no matter what even if you watch soft porn, you will end up desiring and watching more of hardcore which is dangerous and may cause ED. This scared me! I used to watch...

Hey! So yes I have OCD and my OCD is not more of germs but of thoughts. I'm kinda religious too and when trying to abstain from porn and masturbation I read a lot of religion stuff and now my problem is even though I am on day 3 after 1-2 weeks of relapses and this is my third try. I'm not...

Is your OCD cured completely after abstaining from porn for 90 days? especially when you were copping with the OCD

So during my last relapse, I was having really bad thoughts of something unpleasant, I know I’m not attracted to it, but my mind makes me think I must do it again to not feel this way and so I have a clean streak. I haven’t been able to get the thoughts out of my head. I know it’s just in my...

With the quarantine I'm stuck in a small apartment, and what I would call "my old demons" have invaded my mind again, stronger than ever. I had HOCD (couldn't label it back then of course) at the beginning of puberty: obsessive doubts about my sexual orientation, although I had, and have always...

Hey peeps. I'll try to keep it sweet and short. * I'm 34. Been PMOing for most of my 20s. * Only started with severe symptoms a year ago * Typical P induced stuff I guess : Brain fog, fatigue, lethargy, headaches, insomnia (really bad), ED but not as bad. * Did MRI, full blood, sinus op...

I’m on day 320 and I’m worse than I’ve ever been before. I’ve been on and off of streaks for the past year and now I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m so stupid. I kept on going a week and relapsing and now I’m worse than I was when it felt like I was finally breaking free of everything. I’m...

Hey everyone, just had a little question, I’m on day 7 of NoFap, and I have OCD, so what occurred is that I was thinking about sexual things for the purpose of checking for groinal responses, not to fantasize or anything, just to check, a common symptom of OCD, I got a few groinal responses in...

Man, I have ocd about everything. I have perfectionist ocd, meaning my streak must be perfect. Im trying to get over this. I just got over a big problem with my ocd. It’s like I know just thinking about relapse is not a relapse. It’s pretty clear. But my mind comes up with a million...

Hi, I just ended my 13 day streak 3 days ago and I PMO'ed on the first and second days 2 times and MO'ed 2 times on the third day. My OCD is getting worse and worse to the point I try to hurt myself to stop it. My brain won't let me start NoFap again until I start with a NoBinge. Like it keeps...

Hi everyone! My name is Arthur. I live in Ukraine. Hopefully my knowledge of English allows me to make a post on this forum. I have a huge problem. I suffer from OCD and PMO at the same time. When I decide to stop PMOing, after some time an erotic image just gets stuck in my head and I can't get...

PLEASE NOTE. This post will be very long and probably confusing. English is not my native language, so there may be some grammatical errors. I intend to post elsewhere, so I would consider this post as multi themed. I will divide the text into parts for readability. I apologize for the excessive...

Hey community! I always have the problem that I was jealous about the past of my girlfriends... now I finally found a name for it. "Retroactive jealousy" which is a form of OCD. Does anyone struggles also with that? I just ordered some books straight away, but would be glad about help and...

Does any body know if pornography also affects serotonin receptors? I've been trying to find a study but no luck. Does anyone know and can you write down some references if you know

I don't know why and how, but it happens to me that I get anxious when something associated with numbers 3, 6, 7 and the numbers containing the above the digits like 23, 26, 27, 33, 36, 37.....appear somewhere. I know it's nonsense to worry about these numbers, but i get anxious for no reason...

Hello guys! I would like to ask you a questions and i have hope that everyone will answer for this thread. 1- did your sexual preferences change duo to the addiction? 2- questioning your idenity? 3- ways to recover as fast as possible? 4- you find girls so attractive after how many days of...

Before I start typing this, I just want to let you know that I have nothing against gay people or anyone in the LGBTQ community. I respect people of all sexualities and identities. I apologize in advance if I say anything to offend anyone reading this. Also, I apologize for the long post but I...

I watched porn regularly and masturbated before quitting it and one of the main reasons behind this being I suffered more from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD) after I fapped. On one such occasion, I went to my Grandmas during holidays. It was there I discovered that if I don't fap, I...

Idk if there are enough people on here with OCD (or who are aware of it) to do this, but I do know that people with sexual related OCD like myself benefit from nofap and the OCD is a tad different from a regular porn addiction (Although they overlap a lot in my opinion, one usually causes the...

I haven’t posted here in a while but I feel I need to. I have OCD, this is something I’ve always had, even before porn. One of my “themes” is about Sexual Orientation, I don’t have many homoerotic experiences before porn, just an intrusive thought and a weird wet dream, but I had a wet dream...

Hey guys and gals. This is my first post and im basically doing it so i dont compulse and/or PMO. But my story goes like this. Sorry if its scattered, it comes with my adhd/ocd AND theres a lot to tell. Im a 23 year old male in a relationship that is very important to me. I have intrusive...

Well i’ll get to the topic, i am 20 years old guy who got hooked by porn at the age of 14 and after 6 years of watching porn (i have OCD dunno but feels like it is why i posted this whole thread ), i was going on a 96 days streak but i relapsed don’t ask me how or why it just happened and i kept...

Hi there, I wanna talk about HOCD. I hope u wanna make some time to read it. I’ve been all my life perfectly straight. I’ve a girlfriend for a good a year now who I really love and have plans with the rest of my life. I have HOCD for like a good month now, I was really depressed the first...

There's no day I don't think about my one and only ex. Her memory is a very powerful stimulant to my libido and remembering a year ago the special day we had... I'm horny, angry, sad as f***... No exercise, no cold showers, no walking has worked... is even worst when I cool down enough to...

Hi there, this is my first post on nofap and as of now I'm a bit of a mess - looking to see if anyone has had a similar hocd experience and ways to deal with it. First off I have massive respect for gay guys, i've lived in gay friendly cities, gone to gay bars and drag shows with my ex...

Sorry for the wall of text :( Hello guys. Well, this is not the first time I am posting here and not the first time I try Nofap. I have done it before, reached the 72 days but ended relapsing due to a panic attack at the end of 2017. That was my longest streak. The benefits are real and I have...

Hello guys, I discovered noFap last month and since then i've tried to find any sucess story for people who suffers from the same problem like mine, but i didn't get it. I have OCD (Pure-O) and Tourette Syndrom (vocal and motor tics) since age 8. I developed anxiety and agoraphobia at age 17...

I suffered from OCD for about 3 years in almost all aspects of my daily life and I was able to get over it with this mindset that I learned. I have applied it to NoFap the day I started it, which got me to where I am right now; a 200 days streak and a clear mind. From this journey I learned...

Hi! I am a Filipino. 34 YO and been fapping 3 times a day for 20 years. Also, I develop an extreme OCD, like washing my hands hundreds of times a day. I just learned NoFap and was shocked that my extreme OCD was due to my excessive fapping. Hope this works. OCD has ruined me so much and I...

So to start off with, I'm turning 28 soon and i've been into porn since i was like 12.. for 10 years i used to PMO 3-6 times a day and ive been trying to reboot on and off for around 4 years.. I've also developed sexual-OCD themes many years ago but ive had OCD all my life.. the current OCD...

This came to my mind the other day so I wanted to see what you guys think. I suffered from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) for a little over a year back in 2015, that was when my PMO was at its highest. There is definitely a causal connection to one another since they're both in the brain...

i m sufferig from ocd and social anxity.i hardly go outside.will nofab help me.i thing my ocd,social anxiety started becace sex addiction i fond that high dopamine can give you ocd.

...that you will never 'win' NoFap? seriously i am already 1 year and a half trying to healing but cringey ocd makes me relapse more than the urge itself, thoughts like 'you faped to this shit? disgusting, fap to other softer thing to feel better', i am really stuck into this, would apreciate...

Please your comments would be highly appreciated, I think I have all 4, and they are related devils. Let's share.

Hi all, my current streak is somewhere in the days of 25-30. I have a counter app but I refuse to check as I feel it would be best to focus on other things. Obviously the first couple of weeks were whatever but then from days 18-23/24 I started feeling great, confident, happy, feeling like I...

Hi all, I am a newbie, heard about nofap a few times before, but never took the effort to sign up. To introduce about myself briefly, I am from India and I have OCD and related ailments. My problem with pornography is that I don't watch continuously, For me there is always cooling periods in...

Here I am, again. I relapsed, again. It's so hard to tell myself NO despite even the voice in my head saying not to skim the knife. I do it, and I get cut. One of the main problems is that the material I see updates. It's comics you see, and a new page come up once every few days. I come for...

I started to develop some serious anxiety after i got addicted to porn. i have visual snow, which i thought was drug induced, but i feel like maybe its a mix of both. Anyways, ever since i started watching porn ive had obsessions as to what may or may not be wrong with me, i have intrusive...

I'm scared. I have no desire to be gay. However I am literally analyzing every single aspect of my life. I have no issue with gay people. That's just not what I want to be. My dad has gay friends and my sister is totally accepting of it so I know that if it were the case for me coming out...

What are the most important benefits of beating your pmo addiction? At 4.5 months of no porn or masturbation after years of addiction, I see the "benefits" differently than I saw them at Day 0. Yes, I have enjoyed all the usual life enhancers that others have noted, such as no brain fog...

Quick question: I have some MDMA/Molly/Ecstacy and I was wondering if it will help me with my PMO addiction, I read that it can help with PTSD/Depression in small doses. Is there any other drugs that can help with PMO addiction, or is it best to just reboot naturally?

I've had a form of OCD, commonly known as Pure "O" for several years now and dealt with harm and violent thoughts a long with religious and blasphemous thoughts, and I've been a steady user of porn since I was 13 years old, I'm 22 now. Like most us, I started out with vanilla, "normal"...

Looks like i am stuck in this shit, i tried again and again to fap to 'average' porn to forget the hardcore porn flashbacks, but of course without much success, also if i only see a thumbnail of hardcore porn the images keep stuck in my mind, that is the time when a try to fap to softer shit to...

Could PMO addiction be the worst addiction especially nowadays? Because most people now especially kids that grew up with internet are so easily addicted to porn. The younger you get addicted the harder it is to break, I am proof I have watched porn since 8, but I got addicted when I was 12...
