purpose

I'm making the decision of doing my 90 days reboot. 3 days already NoFap, but scared of what's about to come and how I'm going to walk this path. I'm male, 48 yo. Starting with erotic/porn magazines at about 12 years old, on M for years, often with no porn involved. And then growing my...

I know all the benefits of nofap but lack of purpose and clear mindset is causing me to relapse constantly.

You have the power. I often felt I could never overcome PMO. I was addicted for 1.5 decades, from 13yo til now. But now im convinced I can do it. You may think you dont have the power, but thats just cuz you haven’t figured out how to use it yet. You’re like a prepubescent superhero learning to...

I know why I’m on earth. I know precisely why and it’s to help others but I won’t divulge details. However to reach this purpose I need to remove porn from my life and all attraction to women. I don’t care for sexism but I am not interested in women today. Most I’ve spoken to are interested in...

For me, the idea of following a "calling" or "purpose" can be helpful, especially on those dull days when when you feel disconnected from every action and person in your life. The idea is to look beyond goals that may have been planted in your mind by other members of society (like scoring a...

After having tried and failed multiple times to maintain a good rebooting record, I'd given up. A lot of other things were off in life as well other than just the inability to avoid PMO. Rebooting was perhaps the least of my concerns in life. I'd failed to discover meaning in any area of life...

My brief backstory: I’m in my early 20s, I go to the gym every single day and my body is pretty great, I’m a law student with a handful of academic achievements, many girls find me attractive. Sounds egotistical right? I was in a very emotionally abusive relationship with a girl which messed me...

My most recent rationalisation was that I was 'just going to listen to some lofi hip hop beats'. I walked out mid-conversation when I was talking to my dad and I remember seeing how disgruntled he looked. He wanted me to speak to him. He was enjoying my company and all of a sudden I pulled it...

In my home, because of the religion (islam) and culture, there was never talked about sex. I learned it all from porn. I started watching at the age of 11. But it was not a good lesson for me. Porn never teached how real sex should be. I learned to have instant gratification. I watched those...

In a previous post titled ‘Nofap is not the holy grail’ I mentioned that the happiest and most productive time of my life was on a 4-month streak; but added that I had a longer 6-month streak which towards the end I was not happy at all. During those 4 months I was working on organizing a...

I started Nofap about 3-4 years ago and along away the way I have watched the most popular nofap channels on YouTube. Their content helped me a lot when I needed it. But in the last 1 year I stopped watching because I simply got tired of it, the content was receptive but I got bored. Everywhere...

As you may know there are many pleasures in life but pleasures of creating is in the highest level. There are pleasures in consuming, destroying and learning but creation is so strongly written in our DNA so much so that if you suppress it you will suffer and will have problem in finding a...

I am transforming and I want to share with you what I am going through. I would like to hear from others as well so we can compare our experiences. But follow this because I am going to be here with you all. Here is my evolution with Porn. I loved porn and it was a secret thing I did. I looked...

Hi, what really helps me to rise to my full potential are imagining to act as some role model I admire. I admire someone who is dedicated to his thing/destiny/purpose and say has a wife family etc and nothing can divert him from his path. Especially not seduction, porn and other pleasures of...

So usually when I relapse I get pretty down. There's a pattern of being sad, followed by getting mad and swearing 'never again'. Usually this occurs through a few albums of Linkin Park... But my last few slip ups involved a different reaction. Calmly asking myself why it happened? and what I...

Hello everyone! I want to share my thoughts on discipline and purpose with you. In order to be healthy, strong men, we need discipline. Each of us has a different purpose. Regardless of what it is, it drives us to be disciplined. This is because we will do what is necessary to fulfill it. But...

Hmmm,How do I start a thread which begins with such a title?:emoji_confused::emoji_grin:.Well I'll jump straight into it. Without a set purpose to quit porn and without a good stratergy you'll fail.:emoji_100:% Let me elaborate on the first one and the big one, with a story, (20 km = 12.5...

Let me tell you the magic that a strong purpose can produce.I was addicted to pornography for about 4 years.And in the 3rd year I was depressed all the time , because porn consumed most of my time and I was not able to achieve my goals. I tried Nofap during that time and i would'nt be able to...

To celebrate passing 90 days no pmo I want to share a revolutionary idea that explains why the PMO loop is so self-perpetuating and where the exit is. Quick Ted Talk with transcript underneath if you prefer to read...

Hello. I am a 28 year old virgin from Iran who is very ugly and super skinny. Please do not give me the Gym talk, since it won't work on me. I have decided to quit watching porn and masturbation since 5 months ago. I have succeeded regarding masturbation but not substitute porn. I mean I don't...

So yesterday was my 12th day without PMO... kind of? But I'm starting over... Again. And here's why: Does all this even really count if you're edging, looking at subtle pics, and maybe even watching porn without masturbating the whole time? Cause thats what I was doing and its not worth it...
