Hello everybody, I’ve been a porn addict for 17 years and I want to share my story.
I’m 30 years old now and I discovered porn when I was around 13 years old. I still remember the scene that got me into porn : I thought “wow, this is amazing”.
Porn became an obsession, almost a passion for me...

There are many reasons why I am quitting my porn and masturbation addictions.
when I was approximately 11 years old I used to go to my friends house and we used to masturbate together to porn often hardcore with a back massager as a vibrator. These were extremely arousing events and at the time...

I’m going to be honest, I am currently 12 - and I am very aware that I’m going to get banned - and I have been addicted since I was 9. It’s a really long story, but long-story-short; I was scrolling through various images until I found pornography, and ever since then I’ve kept looking at it...

I have a lot of friends that watch porn and they all agree that it is harmful. However, they seem less affected by it. After talking more with them, I found out that our habits were very different.
They usually use porn as a physical release and masturbate while watching it. For me, it's really...
Hi, I just wanted to post and get some much needed help. I feel masturbation can be healthy. But porn has completely rotted my mind.
I have tried to quit a few times, longest I've gone with out masturbating was 11 days. I did feel hornier , but ultimately fell right back into porn.

When I was in about 5th or 6th grade, I discovered pornography. Over time I grew addicted and as the addiction grew worse, as did the pornography’s subject matter. Though all of it was drawings, I’m still deeply ashamed. I stopped looking at bad porn months before I met my new and wonderful...
This is not my longest streak, but I would say this was my easiest long streak. I’ve done 119 days before, but with a lot of efforts , temptations and difficulties. This time I reached 76 days ( before binging porn and edfing yesterday) with minimal efforts yet with a lot of benefits and clear...
Maybe a silly question, but I don't know...
Anybody here who has fully rebooted? How did you know? Do you judge by whether you get urges to watch? Do you judge by whether you think of porn at all? Is that even possible not to think of it sometimes, cause we can't erase our memories after all...

Hey guys. So for the past let's say something like 2-3 weeks ago, i've had this question in my mind before starting the journey. But personally, i don't really care about streaks as long as i achieve my goal, which is removing porn out of my life so i just started the journey without minding it...

As a porn addict, how do you respond to scandals, particularly sex scandals? Do you feel bad for the person being accused? Or do you side with the victim?

Hi everyone, I'm new to the NoFap community and I wanted to introduce myself. For the past few years, I've been struggling with an addiction to pornography. It started off as something casual, but soon it became a daily habit that I couldn't seem to break free from.

I'm new to the website and am looking for software that blocks all websites except the ones you want. I'm told that there are filters out there called "reverse filters" that do just that. I've also heard of whitelists that help with this too.

Dear community,
I'm a 28-year-old man from Poland (so please, excuse my English). I've been struggling with porn addiction since I remember. I have had multiple attempts to break up with it and they turned out to be more or less effective. The longest one was for about 6 months.
But around 2018...

Lately, my urges have been very psychological. I watched this Ted Talk video on porn (link down below) and it's educational and helpful. However, one part in the video talks about real sex (at the 3:08 minute mark). Real sexual interactions includes: courtship, touching, being touched, smells...

Hi community, if someone considers himself healed after 3+ years (or even 1 year if that’s their case) of no PMO and never relapsed again, so if someone actually managed to overcome for good P*rn, can he tell me when did he realize he was actually healed? And how did he know that it wasn’t just...
Can S*x toys (m*sturbators, str*kers, etc.) be helpful in breaking a p*rn addiciton? I think that just using these toys instead of using p*rn would be helpful. What do you think?

I have been addicted to porn for the last 3 years. Now decided to quit this damned thing. Let's do this. I am 14 and got addicted to this thing in my late 11 years. Please help me reach 100 days and even more.
Hi Community,
I am a 31 years old guy who is not new to this space, like many of us. And just as many of us, I underestimated how deeply an addiction can take root in your body and your mind.
In fact, I had already joined this priceless forum a few years ago, when the feeling of having hit...

Every week is the same for me. I browse porn daily, often masterbating almost each day of the week.
I lurk the forums daily, looking for "That one perfect post" that will turn a lightbulb on in my head, and give me the motivation to change.
Despite this, I realise no one can do this for me...
You have the power to choose: day 1 of sobriety or 1 day of giving into temptation. I choose sobriety. I choose freedom from the grips of this addiction.

This week, “Is there hope for porn addicts?” was one of the most popular Google search terms in this genre. Clearly, a lot of anti-porn types are having a hard time breaking their habit/addiction, and some have lost all hope that change is possible.

Hey guys,

When I watched porn I never watched sex-focused porn. So I never watched porn featuring guys, just porn that was women getting naked, but not doing anything like masturbating or dildos or any of that shit. No penis-in-vagina porn, nothing like that. To be honest almost all of the “porn” I...
Gaming and porn (though night and day when it comes to the damage they do to your brain) have similarities. Novelty, fast rewards, ever-increasing challenges that move in lock-step with the size of the rewards are some of them.

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...

One sentence of the book says...
Hello everyone,

Hi, I'm pretty new to NoFap, but I've been doing a lot of research lately, and something I've become well aware of over the past few weeks is how unhealthy scrolling and scrolling when you watch porn until you find the "perfect video" is, and how it feeds into a person's addiction to novelty...
