question

Hey (23yo male...porn user/addict for 13 years). I have a question I know the answer to, but I would like some encouragement to actually do it. I have videos/photos bookmarked/downloaded/saved to my phone and computer. The question is...should I delete them all now? This is only day 1, and I'm...

Hi everyone, I need some advice about a situation I experienced recently. My girlfriend and I were about to have sex for the first time, but I couldn’t get erect. It was really frustrating and embarrassing because I care about her deeply, and I wanted the moment to be special. For context,I'm...

Guys I've finally managed to do well on nofap (monk mode). But when looking at women (just normally), I end up getting that weird sexual anxiety and looking with lust. It spirals into me thinking I've set myself back in recovery. It's gotten so bad that even if I get a boner I think I've lost...

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...

hi i am at 10 days, i want to reach 60-90 days of hardmode, and then go back to sex and masturbation without porn, i also thought that a good way to understand if i could go back to sexual activities was to see how i would feel after a wet dream, since i always feel terribly after ejaculating...

When I say inadvertently peeking, I mean does seeing a hot girl on social media or a sex scene in a tv show or a movie count as a relapse if I'm on a no-pmo journey. I don't deliberately look up porn. I have taken that out of my life, for good. I don't go on private mode or incognito mode...

I'm currently starting a 90-Day NoFap challenge in hard mode. I'm in my day 2 free from PMO, but my question is, I'm currently looking for a job and have to do some stuff using the PC, it is harmful for my recovery path to stay in the PC too much? I mean outside of the obvious temptation of...

I'm trying to understand why people who are doing Nofap and trying to desexualize their mind, but paradoxically still quite focused on sex. I see it quite often guys saying. "I want to do Nofap so when I have sex with a woman i will be able to do it". And I'm not talking about them having sex...

As the title suggests. I'm asking you gents (and the few women that are here) what motivates you from relapsing? Or better said, what do you do to prevent an relapse? Ps. It's been years since I last remember using this account, feels good to be back to be honest.

I have been trying to quit porn and masturbation for the last 2 years and still not able to get far. I was able to control myself for just 2 - 3 days and that's it. I have tried exercise, meditation and also porn blockers(porn blockers ruined the case, making me highly sensitive), but still no...

I kinda need help, I've been dating my bf for about 6-7 months, we were first friends and later on got into a relationship. When he was still just my friend he mentioned he had a porn addiction and was recovering, and later into the relationship he told me again because he hardly achieved...

Hey all of you who've been in this nofap game in the long end, how has nofap affected your performance in sports and competitive activities? Do long streaks really help? And abstaining from what makes it better is it P or MO? Also those in withdrawal/PAWS are you good at competitive things in...

I know for a fact that dreaming about relapsing is not a relapse since you barely have control over it, but what if the dream was lucid? I'm asking just cuz I'm curious.

Dear Friends, I Am New To Nofap. My Age is 20. I Am Following Nofap Hard Mode(No PMO). I Know About PM(Porn,Masturbation) But I Don't Know About O(Orgasm). It's New Word For Me. Can You Explain About 1. What is Orgasm? 2. How Orgasm Happens? 3. How To Control? Plz Help Me Friends. I Am Nofap...

I Am New To Nofap. Sometimes I Looking Girl's(All Type Of Hot Clothes) Hip,butt And Breast in My Favorite Songs And Movies. Sometimes I Looking Girl's(Bikini,Cleavage/Revealing Clothes) Hip,butt And Breast at Mall Posters. Sometimes I Looking Girl's(Hot Clothed,Tight Jeans,Bikini,V Shape Neck...

Today, while waiting for something, I decided to browse through Wikipedia. (I deleted all of my social media, so I read some articles instead of scrolling through Instagram.) Eventually, my sex-craved brain went down this rabbit hole of reading about stuff from biology, and I eventually clicked...

Fellas? Or Ladies, both are not good for you we get that which do you think out of the two is the worst?

This was discussed in Jonathan Haidt's book The Righteous Mind and I thought it'd make an interesting discussion here. Which outcome would you prefer? A) Being a supremely honest and fair person throughout your life yet everyone around you will believe you’re a scoundrel or B) You will...

Hello, I'm so happy to be hear in this wonderful community. And I have a question for you. I am in 6 months of Semen Retention and accidentally got excited. I haven't ejaculated or anything. But I did notice a bit of pre-seminal fluid in my penis. I haven't had much activity or sex. Just a...

So I'm currently on a 7-day streak. I was having my online classes and was solving some 11-grade problems. Suddenly out of the blue, I felt something wet in my trousers. I ejaculated. There was no "pleasure" or anything else. Just ejaculated. Is this a relapse? Should I reset my streak? And no...

I’ve had good success when rebooting up until about day 14. Around then I get this dull constant pain right above my left ball on my body. It will last for days nonstop and is sometimes crippling and sometimes very manageable. It goes away if I end the reboot by nutting. I’ve encountered this on...

i was a severe addict of pmo .But now i am abstaining. There is one issue .My dopamine levels have gone down .The pleasure the mental peace i got while doing pmo is no more.I am not getting happiness in anything . The kick in my life is no more. Will my situation improve .Will i get my...

Hey so, before i get to the point, i gotta give a bit of a backstory beforehand. So i've been working out for at least 9 months now. I started out with calisthenics and i gradually started going to the gym consistently 3/4 months ago. I've gained quite a lot thanks to both. But for a while now...

Is er*tic literature as bad as video or photo p*rnography? Do you avoid these stories personally? What do you recommend others do?

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie here. but I have learned about rebooting from my friends and somewhere else. I do the hard mode (the PMO thing) for a month now (my goal is 3 months). The thing is I have my kinky partner and we love to do bondage, pet play, and impact play with no penetration. She...

I have heard and read people say that nofap increased their social skills and now they are talking to women, they have no anxiety fear etc... I do not have social anxiety, to begin with. but I do have problems while having conversations. I can't come up with topics to talk about. Especially...

Hey Y'all, Unfortunately I watched too much porn and masturbated too much which caused me to lose my morning wood and some erection strength. Over the last 7 days I havent watched any porn, but I masturbated once. However, over the last two days I have felt as if I am not fully clearing my...

Hello, I'm a 16-year-old who has been doing NoFap since March this year (Not sure of the exact date). I haven't watched (requited) Porn, masturbated or had an orgasm. I've had the idea of NoFap since I was 15, and went through a NoFap streak during my summer break (it wasn't a very good one). I...

So, I originally started this journey with the objective to retain and release more semen and not just see a pathetic drop of it after a potential sexual encounter (potentially speaking, since I'm still a virgin, if you couldn't tell from my unnecessary worrying of something so trivial). Thing...

1) What age do you want to die? 2) How do you want to die? 3) What kind of life do you want to live before you die? 4) What do you want to achieve before you die? 5) How do you want to be remembered? I recognize these are difficult questions to answer but it's been on my mind today. I'll give...

Posting this here since I don't know where else to put it. I'll keep it brief: today, I talked to my friends about how I recently started my NoFap journey, and while one of them was somewhat interested, the rest… not so much. One of them, in particular, argued that the benefits in the long-run...

Hi all, I'm on the second month of my PIED reboot, last night, I had a video chat with my partner. I'm wondering do the following are considered Relapses?? - Video chat with my partner (cam to cam) ? - Talking about sex via video chatting ? - Seeing my partner nude via video chat (cam to cam)...

You can see my signature I am on so long streak which it is showing 138.but today what happened there an online app advertisement came where I took that app and in that video call they make and the ladies strips. When I was seeing it a and girl pretended like taking a dick in mouth like in front...

Do you feel the feelings differently? Are they stronger, more varied, eventful? I remember during my first few days of nofap I had quite an intense array of feelings, enough to really feel something when I was listening to music or looking at certain pictures on pinterest. Usually nothing...

So today I’ve been craving porn a lot more and have been getting irritated and having headaches. Which is weird because I’ve been less fatigued and have been more motivated to do things. Is this normal for withdrawal? I’m a little more then a month in if that helps.

I’ve been trying not to relapse so much lately. Starting streaks.. and relapsing because of giving in, thinking I had already messed it up. every time I start a new streak, my mind plays games with me. Either through thinking about arousing material or something similar. I cannot keep...

The manga I am reading is “my wife is a demon queen ” and no it is not a hentai or ecchi manga it is more of romantic manga Warning the descriptions might get too detailed The lewd parts is: 1.the female main character has big boobs and big ass 2. She was sometimes naked in the manga but...

i kinda want to play one but at the same time i don't want to risk it leading to another reset. some are more suggestive than others so if not all, is there a line to draw? i know ambiguousness in rules i've set for myself in peaking have ruined past streaks so i don't want it to be blurry.

I'm sorry if this is explained somewhere, as I am quite new. Why do we not masturbate? I am sure it is good as long as you don't do it that often and don't watch porn with it. Is there any other reasons?

It was learning to do a backflip at home by myself some weeks ago. I felt I was simply going to accept death. The overwhelming feeling of being fully scared I never felt that, I didn't even know I had so much fear in me. I had to fully let go of any idea of who I was to do the backflip it was...

So about 6 months ago. December 21st, 2021 (exactly 6 months ago), I relapsed and I was edging during the relapse. I’ve been trying to quit pmo for a while again. but that night, I edged until I got blue balls , the aching sensation in the groin when you are really aroused without release. I...

This past year and a half, I’ve been binging pretty heavy every time I’ve slipped. To the point of concerning symptoms… dissociating brainfog anxiety numbness and tingling etc. My question is for people that understand my situation.. Will I be ok if I stop? I need to quit so bad. no...

This is a question that I ask myself for a while, like replacing P addiction with smoking. Is that possible? Someday, I was really stressed and smoked, and I didn't wanted to PMO for 3 days or so.

So yesterday, I relapsed vowing to stop. (I’m done) I relapsed because for the past few days before that, I was fantasizing and checking out girls, and looking at movie scenes, and it was giving me headaches and head pressure. so I figured a fresh start would be necessary if I’m going to beat...

So yesterday I made it a goal to stop once and for all. I can’t let things like this stop me from recovering. I can to conclusions that things happen and I can’t let that stop my reboot. But earlier today, I started to feel better after starting my reboot. I was on a random thing online...

hi, right now im really worried and weird. ive been in this addiction since maybe, late 2020 and i just want it to stop. i dont know whats going on with me. yesterday i was having these intrusive thoughts of my friends and the younger kids at my school. i get some weird feeling in my groin when...

hi, today i was having these intrusive thoughts of the porn ive seen and my friends. these have effected me very much before and i felt bad about them, but now i kinda feel strangely indifferent about them sometimes. its weird, i dont know if im used to the thoughts, or accept that im a pervert...

hey, im wondering if all this shit like fetishes, attractions, and intusive thoughts will decrease or go away when i abstain for long enough. i keep hearing stories but im not sure. i cant go on any longer with thinking am a pedo or a pervert. i want to be normal again.

Hello first of all i just joined this community, now let's get straight to the point. So recently i was browsing on who i was following on instagram and i came across an account i had no idea i was following and i clicked on it by curiosity and it had booty pics and other nsfw stuff. but i...

So, I saw an ad of a nude person by accident, I exited out immediately. Was it a relapse and will it give me the dopamine rush that we are supposed to avoid?

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!

Can women sense that you are doing nofap even if you don't have sex with them?

Did I relapse? i saw an advertisement of an app called mika. It was a very simple app where you can go live and/or see a live broadcast. I opened and installed it. I saw another app's ad in it so I installed that app. Little did i know that the video calling facility in that app was filled with...

Hey team, Long time fighter, constant reader and first time contributor. I’m wanting to make a difference, I see so many people trying to quit, the struggles that come with it, the lack of self worth. I see it! I feel it! and I can’t help but think of the term, “Prevention is better than...

About a month ago, a few days before Christmas, I edged. For hours. it was terrible. But it happened and i got blue balls. It was bad pain. I then stopped edging and finished in the morning when the pain stopped. no pain was present anymore. But a few days later into my new streak, I felt a...

i started my streak last night, i am getting through the day now but i want to know if this is normal yesterday, i masturbated alot. it was not good. but i got back on the horse and earlier, i was just thinking about stuff in my head, and i suddenly came across a thought that got me pretty...

so i started at 2nd jan, and has been a week with nofap, but after that, I slipped up and fapped once the day after my first week. i'm not a porn addict and it's totally under control and i fapped when i was bored and stuff. however I read up on the benefits of nofap... and i'm curious.. does...

hello, [a small introduction] twenty three and a half years old. i never had sex as they say... might be that i am careful, overthinking, self deprecating, or not interested in this particular girl. even though, i have enjoyed dancing with girls a few times, even though i have hugged girls with...

so everytime before this streak. I would be having a streak going, and i would relapse 10 days later because i thought i already relapsed by looking at an image, or watching a tv show with girls in it for too long. Its stupid, but that was the problem. I realized that to get over this, i just...

A week ago, I fapped and Edged for about 5 hours, I did this to the point that I got blue balls. I could not keep going and did not finish so I slept the pain off. (so unhealthy in the first place that I did any of it to begin with). The next morning, All the pain was pretty much gone. I just...

A couple of days ago, I edged for hours. This resulted in bad pain and I had to stop. It stopped after a few hours, and I finished. Today, Its not hurting, but i notice that if my balls shake there is a little bit of an ache. Anyone familiar with this.

I remember when I was a kid and early teens I always forgot people were in the same room I was for example the kitchen and the living room and I turned the lights off when I left the room. Leaving everyone with the lights off. I do it ocassionally now being an adult but very infrequently...

Hi everyone, I just reached day 200 a few days ago, and have been thinking of the long term. I don’t think I can keep doing hard/monk mode, as I keep having urges to peek. I think that MO would be a good way to distract myself from looking at P. I thought through this rationally, but wanted to...

I was doing something for school work, they wanted me to take a test where I try to identify peoples emotions based on their facial expressions. being on nofap I get aroused easily. I saw pictures of girls faces. I got aroused and got a boner. But I had to because of school work, I kept...

I Lowkey feel guilty honestly, but I wasn’t doing it for sexual arousal intent. There is this girl that I like, she made a new snap and I wanted to add her so I can keep in touch bc she made a new snap. I was thinking to myself, should I add her while I’m on a streak, because I know how...

I asked myself today this question when I was driving across town. All my life I've seen when a woman is crossing a street specially if there are cars and no stoplight somehow they miscalculate how to pass the street they go fast, slow or really fast without need. They look awkward. They even...

Hey everyone. Sooo my wet dream are really frequent now. I have them even everyday if I sleep on my stomach and this wasn't the case before. It all started after my relapse after my longest streak of 31 days. And since it's only worse and worse. Any idea why? And also any helpful tricks to...

I relapsed yesterday, there’s something called camsites, it’s where you can basically tell the girl what to do and control everything and flirt. it sucks, I’ve been on nofap for a while and when I relapse on just pmo, my brain feels the usual sluggish depressed anxious way that comes with...

You remind me of someone... a man I met in a half-remembered dream. A man possessed of some radical notions. "Peace has cost you your strength. Victory has defeated you" Write a movie quote you like so others try to guess what movie and character said it

- someone: ¿who are you? - me: I'm that - someone: ¿what is that? - me: exactly ¿Who are you?

I am 24M, but have been masturbating probably since I was like I would say 14-15 until I was 22. Watched porn everyday, used to masturbate every day or like every other day. Decided to go on a NoFap journey I believe in Dec 2019, so I stopped watching porn and masturbating all together but I was...

Greeting to all faptronaut, I am sorry if this question is inappropriate or not following the rules. I have discovered a Nofap community for a short while and I am really interested to join and improve myself. I really do. However, I work as an erotic novel writer. So, does this mean that I...

I was really curious. I don't have a porn addiction, or a masturbation addiction. I'm quite self-discipline I feel, like I keep my limits (e.g. only watch porn once a week and masturbate only once every two days). I've started wanking off since around March this year, but over the past month...

i wasnt really focusing on the images, but i thought i had to relapse to clean the streak because i looked at pics (i didnt mean to, i sorta just stopped avoiding them, but not focused on them or searched for them) i didnt get aroused, but would you guys consider this a relapse? i never touched...

Hello, I am new here, I subscribed a week and a half ago and I am yet to recive any news from the site in my email, I confirmed both times, when I registered and when I signed up to the forums, I also clicked the confirmation link, but after more than a week I havent seen anithing. So I was...

I just heard some days ago do the evolution by Pearl Jam Woo I'm ahead, I'm a man I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah I'm at peace with my lust I can kill 'cause in god I trust, yeah It's evolution, baby It's more like a critique to human species, I like the song and the lyrics What...

So yesterday for a lil back story, I fapped pretty much all day, felt like shit, I feel like shit now. I woke up and said damn I already looked at stuff so I need to fap, but I don’t want to fap. (I fapped so much I just don’t want to anymore now). my question is , if I start my streak now, (I...

let's say you became immortal one day, what are you spending your endless life doing?

Not a long read at all, just read all of it for understanding. Today, I relapsed sadly. I did it multiple times. My cold got a lot worse throughout the day and I feel bad. I was going to relapse later and then start my streak. I’ve been watching movies (not necessarily looking for women) but...

I just started a new streak today. I’ve been fapping alot less and getting through hard urges more. today, since I woke up, I was fine, I’ve lasted down a couple of times today and it’s like I have a vertigo/dizziness and it feels like I just stopped spinning. Has anyone ever experienced this...

I'm kind of interested because our recent fallen angels @brassknucks @SickSicko, BARLES CHARKLEY, @Anti-Hero and the infamous Alexandrebois. I mean you can tell why they were banned but do the mods warned you before this happens? How long does it last a temporarily suspension? What can be a...

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...

Is it a relapse if you choose to watch p in a lucid dream? for those who may not know, a lucid dream is where you are aware of what is going on and can control the dream. at first, I was dreaming, I was choosing not to get aroused but then in the dream in which I was aware I ended up saying f...

Hi, I want to ask you a few questions about NoFap. I am on 28. day of hardmode and I am starting to wonder whether total abstinence has any negative influence on the organism? 1) Every living beeing has sexual needs, which should be satisfied. When we trying to fight with them, are we making...

I was just waking up out of a sleep. I was about to have a wet dream or something. I was really horny for some reason i felt my dick on sliding in my pants and I started to get aroused from it. I honestly can’t remember if it was on purpose. I was sooo aroused. Does this count as...

Hello, I've beed thinking a lot about edging, and decided to start a discussion here. Main question is - is it bad ("that bad")? I've read that it is, but never really understood why. The way I'm seeing it, is that you're constantly aroused for the time you're edging, you're not cumming, so...

About 3 minutes ago, I had an urge. I whipped it out and just looked at it as it got hard. I almost visited a p site, then I closed it. I had full on sexual thoughts in my head, something that I didn’t allow myself to do for a while. I put my dick away and stopped all this before it was...

Hey all, I'm on day 6 of a new streak, and I've been thinking about the best way to go about NoFap in terms of dealing with thoughts and urges. I should give some context to my situation: I'm an 18-year-old male. I have been a heavy porn addict for at least 8 years or so; I started when I was...

Personally, I am one of those porn addicts who only realized that they had a problem once their dick literally stopped working, and still I kept going for a long time. I have had several long streaks but everytime I end up relapsing out of fear of being damaged forever and not being able to get...

I always thought the dark puffy area under my eyes was due to bad sleep, but turns out that's not completely the case. I am on 7 days nofap and my eyes look significantly more healthy and alive. The dark eye rings are significantly gone. Whenever I masturbated (and ESPECIALLY when I edged...

Firstly, sorry if this isn't the right forum to ask. I have some questions about nofap and I would really appreciate your input. I asked on the subreddit but I didn't get any answers. I have noticed a weird thing with my body after some days and it keeps happening. Every 4-5 days when I go in...

So, I will explain in brief.. I am currently on day 7. Yesterday evening, I was watching WWE on TV and a fight of some hot girls came up so I turned off the TV. Then, I started surfing YouTube, and searched Bobby Lashley (a wrestler) because I like him but a kiss scene of him and an another...

Hello I’m Forward Path, I’m on day 4 right now I have not updated my counter but I heard a lot about wet dreams but this was very different I was sleeping and I was lying on my stomach and I had a thought of me humping something then I woke up semen started spilling out. Please tell me what is...

I have a question that's been on my mind lately and I think any other human being can relate to it quite easily if so. If you could trade Fapping for anything else in the world what would it be? In trading I mean a instant dopamine switch with something else that will get you the same effect...

I have been in a new relationship for around 3 months now after talking for 4/5 months, we are working really well, we have really good trust & we have been consistently communicating about any issues. Anyway, we met in a hotel a couple of months ago, this is the moment that made me come here...

I have been doing Nofap for about 2 years. I started out extremely addicted to pmo. I gradually got off it over the course of 6 months (it was rough). about a year ago, my highest streak was 57 days, followed by 20-30 day streaks for another year. I ended up literally fapping Everyday from june...

So recently I was thinking about making a discord server to help others along their NoFap journey. Am I allowed to post a discord link on the website, or is that against the rules?

Really strange experince about NIGHTFALL Hello, I have been on NoFap for last 70 days. This is my second streak. I tried 90 days before but I relapsed at 80 and this is my second steak and add I said it's 70th day. My question is for the last two time during my nightfall I am sensing it in my...

If an over 40s guy was to do NoFap, would the benefits be significantly less than a guy who's in their 20s and doing NoFap? Would the energy output be directed in a different way as well? For example, a guy in their 20s may use this to get a job, whereas a guy in his 40s may use this to keep his...

*Potential triggers if you are still easily triggered, read on with caution* plus wall of text ahead. So I just completed 16 days so far. I’ve had some pretty good streaks in the past 10 months. My highest so far was 29 days. But today I woke up from a nightmare of a dream where I was dreaming...
