pmo

I want to be as clear as the title, I didn't masturbate because it felt great, I did it because I was sick, got problems, didn't know what to do instead. This is what porn has made of me, an abnormal person, hesitant, tired... etc Now it's hard to masturbate, even though I get some temptations...

Forget "survival of the fittest." Forget "dopamine hits." The reason you crave PMO runs deeper than science admits — and NoFap is your rebellion against a lie. The Radical Truth: > We don’t crave sex/masturbation for pleasure. We crave it because it mimics the feeling of being cared for...

Addicted to just one woman on Live cam for 4 years, masterbated every alternative days, it took 1 year to let go of her , now I have a flatline, I don’t get horny how I used to be looking at her. I use to get horny morning at work , at the girl , at social gatherings , She use to go to the...

Hello Brothers, I relapsed after 40 days. My last relapse date was 25th May, I was abstaining whole June and on 6th July I relapsed. Between 6 Jul 2025 at 12:00AM to 6July at 12:15 PM, withing these 12 hours I relapsed for 4-5 sessions. I want to find out my why, learn from it and I don't want...

Hi guys! It’s been a while since I posted on forum, so here we go. Let me just start by briefly summarizing my situation. I’m 25 years old, got my major degree last year and currently working remotely at a large company. I’d say it’s my first serious job, despite me working couple of various...

I’m in a confusing situation that I’ll try my best to explain. I just went on an erotic fanfiction binge as a way to help with some very specific emotional needs I have, which I think can’t really be provided anywhere else currently. I’m not reading it for the erotic parts specifically, but the...

I'm curious as to how many people here have considered talking to a doctor or therapist about this issue? I'm curious as to how many people are too embarrassed to bring this up or if they're fine with it.

As someone who was insanely addicted from the jump, no build up no slow start, just almost as soon as I started jerking off and watching porn, I became addicted. I couldn't quit for years as I would get insanely big urges and couldn't make it past day 4 or 5. I was insanely agitated and...

I'm from Argentina, I'm 23 years old, I started watching when I was 8 or 9, I ejaculated when I was 12 for the first time watching p, I masturbated 6 or 7 times a day believing that it was normal, until the worst happened at age 19, one day I got dizzy and felt like I was going to fall to the...

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...

Hello everybody. I'm a 30 years old guy with a heavy PMO addiction since I was 15 (that means 15 years addicted, the half of my whole life). Since the first day I discovered M, at the age of 15, everything started going bad. I remember that day very well because my family and me went to my...

Assalamu Alaikum brothers, I've been struggling with porn addiction for nearly nine years now. Over time, it has affected me in so many ways — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. For the past two and a half years, I’ve been deeply upset and frustrated with this struggle. I’ve tried many...

Hey there, Welcome to the journal of a nearly 30-year-old guy who decided to head back to uni a few years ago. This space is where I’ll be sharing whatever’s on my mind—whether it's reflections, ramblings, or just the things I’m going through. One major step I took today: I removed everything...

I have been able to keep a few months off my PMO habit. Everything was great. Travelling across latin america on backpack with my girlfriend and discovering new places, people, learning a new laguage and quite honestly living the time of my life. Not all days were easy but never did I even feel...

This is my second thread for starting again my nofap, I lose my last one. But I will never give up. I lose my 44 days streak and did not complete my 50 days challenge but this time I'm gonna beat it. Thanks in advance who is reading this. (If you want, you can read my previous thread)

yes, you will become more attractive. Not just to women, but to the world, to yourself. And the proof? Experience. I’ve seen it with my own eyes, in myself and in others who broke free. I fully believe PMO robs you of your energy — the raw masculine energy that every man is born with just for...

Hi, I'm starting this thread for my own well-being. Last month, I relapsed on every single day & I want to change myself from doing that thing again because I don't feel good after doing that but I kept doing that because of urges. So, I'm making this thread and will update every single day, so...

I'm just tired. It's been ten years of PMO (I started at 11yo). I've been trying to quit by 16, but no real success up until now. Managed to start dating my gf (formerly my childhood best friend) and she knows about the PMO too - suffers a lot from it, as she has problems with her own body and...

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...

Hi, I am 23 years old and I have been trying nofap for a while now and have relapse many times, 2 weeks been the longest I’ve gone without fapping. I can’t ejaculate with my partner (or with anyone, only by PMO) and we’ve been together for 1 year. I no longer feel like having sex, cause it...

Hi all, I work in a field that has seen a major shift towards hybrid working since 2020, with some workers having to come to the office just once per month. What advice/tips do you have for people who work from home, to ensure they don't slip up between client calls, during breaktime etc...

Hi guys, I'm here asking if anybody knows of a foolproof system for blocking adult content on Windows 11? I have Cold Turkey Blocker Pro installed which helps, but I have just been bypassing it by installing new web browsers. I want to prevent this, start using a DNS and to lock SafeSearch on...

So, ever since I started fapping, I noticed very major, major brain fog. And it came with a long list of symptoms such as severe Anxiety, insane social anxiety, very bad mood (depression), very poor concentration. Additionally with poor vision, and changes in the face, as the right side of my...

I'm not fapping for a little while now thus, noticing some withdrawal symptoms, one of which is sexual frustration which is turning into a REAL frustration and making me bitter, agitated and angry all the time. I was attending a wedding (of my close family member), there I was helping others...

was just wondering if anyone has any success stories with just abstaining from P&M but still having occasional O from a girl? also a few nights ago I had my GF over and we "dryhumped" for hours. I guess this is a type of edging. Will this hinder my progress? I suffer from self diagnosed PIED bc...

I would like for people here to share storyes and give each other a support so we can grow together in recovery. And maybe tell what we expetc of our lives in future. 1. I live in a beautifull city with great weather. But that doesn't matter becaouse I make my days dark. My life is messy. I...

Hey all. I'm writing this post to let you all know that I'm far from PMO yet my life is still hell. I don't remember the last time I had feelings or emotions. I don't remember the last time I had an actual good day. I've been years in withdrawal and I haven't seen a good day. NoFap ruined my...

Hi everyone. I’m 70 days completely free of PMO. I have experienced intense withdrawal symptoms in the form of consistent P flashbacks and intrusive thoughts. It’s distressing but I haven’t even been close to a relapse. What I need help with is that I am currently unemployed due to a health...

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 everyone, So I’m coming up a month without PMO. I’m doing ok, but one huge withdrawal symptom I have experienced is flashbacks. These flashbacks can range from vivid to dull, intense on one day to less common on another and on some days they are just lurking, constantly, ready to spring into...

Have you ever really thought how many times you have tried but failed, tried again but failed again? It's been years. Every time we promise to ourselves, not this time, but still every time we have failed. I am tired of this, and I know you are too, everyone here is. The endless promises, but...

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...

Basically, I installed ScreenZen, chose the apps/sites I wanted to block, got someone to put a passcode in, and now I've realised I could just delete the app if I wanted, because I forgot to add the disable app deletion feature. I don't want to get that person to unlock it because there was...

D11 I masterbated yesterday after sobering 9 days. But i didn't want to fall for it. I will try again. I want it to give up this shit. Today no one is home except me and my brothers wife. Bad thoughts coming in my mind about her. I want to get rid of it. This will drive me to masturbate and...

I am 35 and I have been struggling with porn addiction for at least ten years, probably more. In 2018-19 I had a series of failures in my relationship and career. I returned to my hometown to start from scratch. But then my father got cancer (he died two years ago) and then it was the quarantine...

D5 Life is a wonderful journey. To get the full taste of it it's our responsibility to remove harmful habits. Masturbating is not a way of getting pleasure. PMO is nothing but a time killer and destruction.

Hello everyone, I'm an 22 year old student that has had a problem with watching Porn for months now and I've been wasting a lot of time on PMO instead of living my life. I've lost a lot of opportunities because of it and even failed exams since recently. I need to stop this shit now before I get...

•d2 I am a college student. Most of my expenses bear my brother. My father only depends on pension. It's my responsibility to show a better output to my brother by showing a good result. I can't waste that opportunity by PMO. I must do that! There is no alternative.....

Hi Folks, is it healthy to have no ejaculations for a prolonged period of time? If I allow myself orgasms but no masturbations, do I make it mentally harder or easier? Since I am not in a relationshop, orgasms but no masturbation also implies I "would need to get out there and try to get...

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...

Hi, I just wanted peoples thoughts on the % attribution of positively encouraging someone to not PMO vs being a bit more ‘forceful’ and pressuring them against it. For example if someone is close to PMO’ing and say reaches out to you. What I see the difference is; Encouragement - ‘you can do...

I smoke when I visit some places near our town. I never smoke in my home or my home area. I want to quit that too. I keep watching women when I smoke and fantasizing about their body parts and smoke a cigarette or two sometimes keep staring at women and thinking negatively about their bodies...

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’m probably going to be all over the place and leaving out important/graphic details. But here we go. I’ve been masturbating since about 12(I’ll be 35 in December). My friend put on one of his older bother’s tapes that he “found” in a drawer full of tapes to “laugh” at it with his friends...

"To thine own self be true" -Hamlet How Honest have you been and are you with yourself? What excuses did/do you tell yourself so you can PMO with a somewhat clear conscious? -For years I told my self porn is normal, PMO is healthy. I grew more and more addicted. -I also deceived myself about...

I wasted so much money and most of all TIME, on stupid pornography. I'm tired of myself, knowing what the problem is but not doing anything about it. I just paid for another stupid adult-like site today. I wish I had the courage to cut my loses and remove those sites I spent money on from my...

Hi everyone, I m new on this forum, i'm French, and even if i often use English for work, i can make some mistake as it's not my native language. I am 37 yrs old, single for 1 yr, and stuck with PIED since i was a teenager, because of porn i started to watch when i was 13. As i remember, i've...

This thread is to gather all the lies we have been told by porn, about porn & for porn. In order for us to help each other not get deceived by porn and all the lies surrounding it. I will share my own lies and illusions about porn and how this affected me so far. Actually those lies are what...

I don't know what I want to say... I never feel satisfaction when it's all over. And yet I strenuously “overcome myself” and wade into the “liberating” sin that is PMO. When it gets to the point where the will surrenders, then it feels good to me, like heaven. I want it and identify with it...

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 all, thought I would share ways that have worked for me getting over PIED and what I have observed from people trying to recover. I will start with the below because people are going to ask “but how sever were you?” Or “how long did you PMO?” Or “what type of porn we’re watching?” I am 35...

So it’s been around 10 days that I’ve started to abstain and before this I have tried to abstain multiple times but I failed miserably in that. But this time I’m feeling a lot better than my previous tries and my urges are very low this time. Now I don’t know what’s happening me to me, but I’m...

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...

So recently I just got to know that I have PIED. I have been consuming porn since 14-15 years of age and now I’m 24. I have a gf from like 3 years. I love her immensely and she’s the kindest soul I’ve ever come across. So I have told her that I’m dealing with this issue and she’s very...

I have been addicted to this vice for 11 years now. I just turned 23 and NEED to put a stop to this NOW. I have been attempting NoFap since late 2021 but I can't seem to stop with PMO. Thing is, I have all the porn tube sites blocked and haven't watched typical porn in a good while now, but my...

Why does this happen? I look at a girl, I get anxious. I see slightly revealed parts, I get weak and anxious. I also feel foggy and weak. I don't know why it's like this. Also I feel so creepy, I'm so far from lust and lusty things. How bad is P really? This is really really bad..

Hi, I'm 37 years old and probably one of the longest porn-addicted persons ever, I started at the early age of 12 years old and until yesterday I've been an addict consuming all kinds of PMO, meaning that I've been addicted for 25 years, having passed puberty with that problem until now. I'm...

I started watching porn when I was about 13, and began sexting strangers when I was 16. I’ve finally accepted that I’ve had a problem with masturbation for about 10 years and I realize that it’s only affected my life negatively. I always struggled with school and going to uni only made the...

Through trial and error i discovered that the best way to deal with an urge is to visualize the whole process of the PMO, what i mean is that when you are faced with an urge visualize yourself doing the thing; opening the porn tab masturbating and orgasming but don't stop there because that...

I stopped watching porn about a decade ago. This year I found myself being pulled to online chat forums. I would meet others, begin a sex related chat and it would end with both parties climaxing. I recently found myself having problems with ED and wondered if the compulsive use of online chat...

Quick background: mid 30's male, p/m/o user for more than two decades, edger for almost as long I'm caving under the weight of guilt, shame and inadequacy. For the last couple days, I've had tears in my eyes on more than several occasions. I had much higher hopes for myself in my younger days...

I'm a very lively flamboyant cheerful person, I love to laugh and be the center of attention yet sometimes I can come across abrasive with a bad attitude. I have a temper and I fear its only getting worse. A little background of me. I was a porn addict for nearly 2 decades. My curiosity as a...

started to take NoFap a lot more seriously back in novermber, have had some good streaks but also some relapses. the biggest concern i have regarding my PMO addiction is the brain fog / lack of cognitive function ive been under. been watching porn as a habit since i was 15 years old, and have...

I don't know about you but I am a shadow of my former self. There is not a single doubt that p/m/o has changed me for the worse in countless ways. A brief list of what I lack: enthusiasm motivation positive outlook self esteem decisiveness confidence emotional stability inspiration friendly...

Hey yall. Honestly, I’m not even sure if I should be posting here. I created an account here a while ago when I was watching Sneako right before/after he got banned from all his platforms, and I started falling into red pill rhetoric/groups. I started feeling a shame toward PMO that I hadn’t...

I'm of the opinion that p/m/o has made me extremely toxic. I've consumed porn almost daily for two and a half decades. Edging is something I made a habit of early on. The reality is that I'm everything I didn't ever want to be: bitter, selfish, negative, boring, awkward, unmotivated, resentful...

I thought I was addicted, until I became addicted. I never in my life thought I could experience drug like withdrawal symptoms and sustained brain damage from viewing pixels. The truth is it’s simply more than pixels, and it’s simply more than flesh. The saying goes “Eyes are windows to the...

Hey all. I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm no longer addicted to P. It's been over a year since I haven't watched it and I have no urge to do so. But one thing that's really been bothering me is my MO habits. A lot of the people here would say that MO without P is fine, but I've...

So I did MO after 90+ on pmo. Lost track of the actual number but I was around 100 days pmo free. I got curios after seeing something called “healthy masturbation” and also the sexual tensions have just been really getting to me after I started nofap which is why I am here now. MY RELAPSE: I...

Today a video popped up on TikTok which got me ya know… put my phone down and didn’t think about it but I still had a hard on. Started flexing my penis and then boom. Didn’t do it to the video or anything. Didn’t masturbate or anything. I combusted because I was flexing my dick . I don’t feel...

I've been trying to quit for years and seen no success. I don't know how to stop this horrible addiction. I know quitting PMO will solve major problems in my life but I don't know how to solve this problem for good! I wish I would never come across this disgusting habit.

I truly believe with all of my heart that extraterrestrials exist. They rule over this planet/firmament When you been doing long periods of SR you activate some of your chakras yall've blocked. When you start to enlightened your self spiritually you began to awaken, you gain a sense of...

Hi , I am 19 year old and addictive to masterbation since 2 year and 9 month. My addiction literally destroying me. I can't talk to my family,i can't even watch movies because my brain think it is low dopamine. I tried so many ways to stop this.but nothing can't , then i find this forum, guys...

Today is Day 16 and as the title of this post says, I'm losing my damn mind. I really want to get through November because it'll prove I can do it and I'll be super proud of myself. I've been indulging in PMO for over 10 years now and have never gone past 18 days, which is my longest streak...

I've placed so much restrictions on my electronic devices and made it impossible to watch porn. I have noticed my interest in PMO is waning. How can we know this is happening because of our efforts or simply because we are getting older. What if most people with high libido are PMO addicts and...

Please reply if you have any information either it was personal or it's based on science. My case : I'm addicted to PMO more than 10 or 11 years now since I was 12 or 15 now I'm 25 years old. First time I watched porn it was for female organ I didn't know what it was only after long time I...

Eye floaters have long been associated with [excessive] p/m/o. Video above shares some insight as to how they may be dealt with.

Hello fellow brothers, so yesterday I went to the club and I also started doing online dating again, even if I am 0 days wothout PMO. I have noticed that somehow everytime when I chase girls (via Dating Apps or in the club for example) that I fall into some submissive mode and start doing...

I've tried for over a decade to recover from PIED, but I always relapse. My longest streak is 7 months, but I need at least 1.5 - 2 years for a full recovery. I've tried all the usual recommendations: exercise, diet, hobbies, outdoors, therapy, etc. I'm at the point where I'm desperate for a...

What is p/m/o is as good as it gets? My life is such a mess, especially for my age, that the only time I feel any pleasure at all is when I p/m/o. Sad, I know. I can abstain but I often find myself wondering why I even try. It's almost as if I think things can't and won't get better, like I...

I want to zoom in and focus on edging. Let's single this activity/habit out. In this thread, forget about masturbation with or without porn if and when there's no edging involved. First, let's define EDGING: It is an orgasm control technique which involves the maintenance of high levels of...

I knew I was relapsing but didn’t stop I just wanted random erections and libido to be back in me, but it didn’t From past 15 days I was coming around soft porn or nude pictures and today something triggered it and I relapsed I just want my libido to be back and I want to getting aroused by...

At the risk of coming across as weak, I think the continuously deteriorating state of the world (especially the West) is as much of a trigger for me to relapse as anything else. There are things I read and watch on a daily basis that have me thinking that "you literally could not make this shit...

I don't know if it's one or both of these things are handicapping me and hindering my progress. It seems to me that I really struggle with a fear of withdrawal symptoms and potentially a fear of success as well. In hopes of getting the thoughts and opinions of community members here, I'll...

I discovered porn when i was 11, and along with the increase of internet speed i start to develop the addiction to internet porn. Now I'm 21, about to graduate from college. All the years within pmo addiction, it feels like i didn't show my best version. It's like being held back by the pmo...

I have noticed in the last two or three days that the number of erections I have had has been next to none. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it part of a 'Flatline' I haven't engaged in PMO for around a week so not 100% sure it's down to a flatline.

It's been more humid than usual in my part of the world. As a result, there's been an uptick in nuisance flies. I searched for ways to get rid of them and I came across an article which provided a recipe of sorts, ingredients to be mixed into a substance that will attract and ultimately trap...

Right due to the blocks I've installed and other stratergies I've found it very easy to control my porn use and currently I'm about to surpass a 2 week streak of no porn. However, I know that I am need of a full reboot due to having PIED. Due to this I find it quite easy to not view porn but...

I've been making progress on NoFap since February, I went down from PMO 3-4 times a day, to maybe once a week at most(and had some streaks of 3-4 weeks in between). I'm continuing to better myself and one problem that really bothers me is that I have these callused(thickened) hypopigmented areas...

Has anyone read Rock Steady? I'm currently about 80 pages in and I'm finding it interesting. I read Norman Doidge's The Brain That Changes Itself years ago and this book seems like a version of that but it somehow seems more tailored to people like me and those in similar situations. It presents...

https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12986-019-0406-z To put simply: PMO > nullified androgen receptors > little to no T uptake > carnitine not present in skeletal muscle > fatty acids cannot be used as energy. Low T to E ratio is also bad for fat loss. There's...

kept relapsing these days - 24 days no pmo did but now I stood up on my foot again, started 1 day 9 hours... Saw benefits great 24 days no pmo ... When I relapsed.... Realised that....
