rebooting

One of the reasons for not quitting P and M that I stumbled upon on the internet is that after 7 days testosterone starts to fall not increase. Is this true can someone tell? I really want to to know how it works. Maybe it's a stupid question. I don't know if this is the right forum section to...

I have been addicted to porn and masturbation form the age of 13.I was told that it was a natural thing to do and is nothing wrong in it. I will be 28 this nov.and I have realised that I can't get a solid erection. I don't feel like watching porn and have not seen it for months now. it doesn't...

So my dear Fapstronauts how how do so I was addicted to drugs you name them I’ve done it from crack and heroin to powderd sniff marijuana Benzos I’ve masterbated chronicly since a young age so a year or twice ago I made a commitment to nofap and I completed 110 days monk mode cut the long story...

I´ve learned some lessons along this path. It has already happened to me 2 times that I have sex with some girl that I like and more than I like, it´s just LUST. I mean, I will not have anything with her more than just having sex with her. Lust consumes me in a very strong way. Yes, in that...

I am starting hard mode today and i will share my experiences on hard mode NOFAP. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.....

I will not use porn again because it makes me feel sad and shameful and I want to be healthy and clean

Hi guys, I've been on a serious reboot for 6 months now, with only 2 relapses and these consisted of only seeing some images for a few minutes. Now I'm having sex with my girlfriend but I have flatline symtoms every time I orgasm. Not only that but the erections are only 80% during sex. I no...

The guilt of watching porn is really killing me inside and every time I promise myself to quit masturbating, I get distracted by little things which finally end me up in breaking my streak. I would actually like if someone tries to talk to me about this addiction and help me out because it's...

Hi, As the title explains, I have been getting morning wood almost every day. But I want to know if this is an actual sign of recovery or is it because I haven’t PMOd for three weeks or so? Would I continue having morning wood like this? Thanks

I have this theory that the longer you've looked at porn the harder it is quit porn. So someone who's been looking at porn for 10 years will have more relapses than someone who's been looking at it for 2 years. Also the longer you look at porn the longer it takes to completely rewire. Like if...

I have been like 3 years "trying" to quit PMO. I put "trying" in quotation marks because I know that I haven't done my best during that time. I mean, I have tried hard to leave it at some periods and once I almost achieved a 30 days streak. But I also had deep periods of PMO binge. Even though I...

So I was looking at the wikipedia page for wet dreams last night, and saw it had a video of a penis having a nocturnal emission. I honestly didn't expect to find this on wikipedia, would this be considered a restart?

Hello community, I found NoFap after starting my own reboot out of desperation and massive fatigue. About 3 months ago I just stopped because I was tired of fighting a life long addiction to porn. It has taken a toll. I didn't realize that my headaches, anxiety, anger and fatigue we're due...

So its day 13. I am doing great with controlling my urges but from the past 2 days my blood pressure is really low. I am kinda depressed. Dont what is happening. Does anyone know? And how do you guys count you days. I can not update everyday and the day counter does not tell you which day are...

Hey guys, When i started my reboot so after a month pr so i started to get pressure headache on the right side of my head around temples and ear. The headache keeps on shifting to and fro......sometimes forward towards forehead(but on its right side) and all of a sudden backwards again around...

I don't know if quitting coffee will help to get a clearer mind or if it will interfere with it. I know that coffee withdrawals are really bad (during first 1-2 weeks). Anyone of you experienced it before? Thank you!

I feel like if we wrote our reasons down it would be motivating in a way. My reasons to stop PMO'ing are: It takes away from my youth and makes me look older than I actually am. It makes my right arm bigger than my left and embarrass me beyond bear. It fogs up my brain and makes me feel like...

What habits do you suggest me to replace masturbation with? I know this is very important because habits have to be replaced, not destroyed. Liking this post would be appreciated, I need that to be able to edit my signature

Hi all, I'm 28, living in England, starting NoFap after 10 years of letting porn be too big a part of my life! I started watching porn when i got a laptop just before going to Uni, made it all too easy to keep it a secret from anyone else and then present a completely normal face to the rest...

I've already posted this as part of my main reboot Journal, but if anyone would like to read my success story with continuing to deal with internet Porn Addiction then see the link here... https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/a-solid-reboot.160390/page-2#post-1564425

Hello. I am good with streaks, in fact, I've been practicing with Duolingo for 724 days. I am about to start a different streak. Some of you could think that bringing this up is ridiculous. Well, maybe. I want to make it look not so difficult to start, I know there are many factors waiting...

Hello everybody, I'm a rebooter, but I never integrated myself into the Nofap community until now. I used porn regularly since I was around 15 until 23 years-old. I've been in a process of quitting porn for 4 months I made a hell of a progress I went from masturbating to porn almost every day to...

Hey guys, I've been battling this habit back and forth, convinced myself that it's a healthy habit just to now go back to that it's an awful habit. I'm feeling more and more convinced right now that porn isn't good for me at all. There are too many studies confirming this, just now i saw a...

Here is your list of enemies to avoid during your reboot in order from greatest to least: 1: PMO 2: Porn 3: Edging 4: MO 5: Orgasm with a Partner The reason they are in order this way is that eventually, each of these CAN lead up to the next. When you have an orgasm, regardless of the...

hey guys I’ve been reading up on the internet a lot and I’m trying my best to reboot. Just started my rebooting journey today. I was wondering is it necessary to have sex for you to recover from PIED? Because I’m quite sure I have PIED and I’m trying to recover but I’m not at the legal age to...

Hello everyone. I am 30 years old virgin. I have always been somewhat between introvert and extrovert. But mostly not very upfront with girls. Not much in there contact. Even college. Just as per the occasion required used to talk with them. I socialize a lot with everyone. Talking with girls...

Found this discussion on masturbation just now and I feel more motivated to be a fapstronaut. Not everyone has what it takes and they did cover NoFap and the effects of Porn consumption but it takes commitment to overcome an addiction I believe I can do it and you should too. It is pretty...

I was 12 when i started masturbation. I was bad at studies , continued till i was 15 . It resulted in poor body growth. My height growth also affected. Then i was sent to a boarding school where i found very healthy and competitive environment. I left masturbation altogether and started...

Only time I’ve gotten hard is when a girl I’m talking to sent me a sexy video. Otherwise no urges since I started 13 days ago, whatsoever. Is this a good or bad sign? However, motivation has gone up a good amount, slightly less anxiety, and more energy at the gym

I remember back when just going out with a girl made me so excited. The rush of holding her hand, getting to kiss her, dancing with her.. that slowly disappeared as I got into porn over the last couple of years. I always thought it was because I was just getting bored of women.. but im only 24...

So hi I've just started PMO and I'm going to Quit masturbating . So guys Can you answer some of my questions? Do Wet Dreams count as masturbation? How can I sleep without thinking about porn? does having Sex with a partner Beat your PMO Streak? Can you guys Give me some tips so I cannot have...

Hi all, I only just discovered this site, and im 7 days in. But I realized I've been living in a flat line for some time and was fapping out of habit and boredom, even when I had no urges. Last December I did Molly at a rave (again, not knowing I was in a flatline), and I felt absolutely...

Hi fellow Fapstronauts, I'm searching for good "substitute" to PMO and web browsing addiction and from my past experiences fighting PMO, I discovered that abstaining from any sexual activity and staying out of depression is much easier with lots of regular exercise. I also need something to...

Hey all. I've been on and off on nofap journey. Now I am at day 51 and still no flatline. Why is it? I think flatline is a good sign of rebooting. On my highest record of nofap at 72 days, I'm not getting flatline either. Are there some of you guys experiencing this no flatline thing?

Hello everyone. I am a 32yr old male living in southern California. I have always been sexual in nature and tend to have a more open mind in the bedroom so to speak. Since a young age I have been interested in porn, as are most teenagers during this time. Over the years my sexual curiosity...

I am one of these extreme cases... Even on my first few days you will find me on the bed moving around in pain. Headaches, my mind flying off everywhere, porn stars names coming up on my mind, browsing through porn scenes in my head, unable to focus on anything, unable to talk to others, unable...

Hey guys, how are you all? I hope all is well. I'm a 15 year old guy, turning 16 in only 9 days. I'm a proud Muslim and optimistic person. And if you couldn't tell by my username, I'm a big Metallica fan. But that's going off topic, I'd love to talk about why I'm here and that's to try to seek...

If I have been PMOing three-ish times per week for five years what is a good goal? I have been trying to stop for years. I have been talking with a counselor. From age 17.5 to 21 I was clean (but very anxious). During that time I fasted regularly, prayed for hours daily, and was successful in...

I'm back from after almost a year leaving NoFap. My time here before was somewhat successful. I had a streak of 22 Days, I believe. Where I actually grew a feeling of adversity towards watching Porn. I remember on my 22nd day, or 23rd, when I visited the website I frequent I felt disgust...

I've recently learnt about mental noting and I'm wondering maybe it can help with rebooting. It is mainly associated meditation but can also be used when someone isn't meditating. Here's a video that explains what it is:

Day 0 Starting on day 0. I have decided to maintain this journal and finally really get into this fight. Please support me!

Yo! I made myself a crazy dope playlist for my initial 90 days of no PMO. Some of the music is designed to help get me through urges, while some is for gym/motivation for the rest of the day's tasks if anyone wants me to share I will! Also, what kinda music do you guys like to listen to to get...

Hello my friends! So i'm interested in nofap for like 1 year and i did no pmo for 1 month few times and it felt really good, i felt these benefits. My last reboot was for 3 months!(it was clear NoFap maybe 2-3 times looking at porn but 0 relapsing) I did it but... My first month was really good...

Hello my friends! So i'm interested in nofap for like 1 year and i did no pmo for 1 month few times and it felt really good, i felt these benefits. My last reboot was for 3 months!(it was clear NoFap maybe 2-3 times looking at porn but 0 relapsing) I did it but... My first month was really good...

So, I am currently on day 31. When I was addicted and on PMO, I was tired all the time and not really interested in anything. Thus I usually went to bed early because I was tired all the time. Since quitting I ride my bike 10km daily after work, playing video games that demand a lot of time and...

Hi, Is it ok to have sex with partner during no pmo - rebooting process? I am on 20th day of NoFap.

Ive been seriously relapsing for the past half year around the time i joined nofap in July till now and I dont know how to stop no matter how hard I try i\I end up relapsing. Ive even come to notice that I cant go past 3days without pmo longest streak Ive ever had is about 6days so you can...

Hi I am on 11th day of nofap. I dont feel more urges as compare to the day of 7,8,9. It is pretty normal day.

porn adiction made me insensible , and left me some mental problems about my sexual orientation , i have been feeling a lot of stress and concern about i think i will never feel great again... my head hurts a lot , for the stress, nothing likes to me, neither sex nor other things ... is this...

I think the key to a succesful reboot is to change the idea of what pleasure/reward is. Let me explain my thinking, bear with me. I think ultimately, what is required of us is to balance the short-term/long-term reward system. We have to focus much more on the long term rewards. This is not as...

i didnt watch gay porn, just the "normal porn" but, i have leave the porn for a month an and i am leaving the M bit by bit , i feel very good again , but , now when i see a attractive man i feel incommodious... i liked women since 10 , but now with all the porn that i have seen i feel like i...

I find that the benchmark for having relapsed is very variable amongst us Fapstronauts, and was wondering what different people considered to be the point during PMO at which they have relapsed. Obviously there is a list of different scenarios that could be a relapse, from viewing one picture...

Time is the currency of life and we're fapping wasting it. So how do we get our time back? We need to change our perception of time. I discovered an inspiring image today which has heightened my perspective on life. We know this in theory, but that's the problem; theory lives in our heads...

Hello, I look forward to this journey of recovery. I'm 24 years old, and I started PMOing at the age of 14. My friends from school introduced me to Internet porn. I've been using it consistently ever since. I wouldn't consider myself a heavy user, but regardless I'm still an addict. I've never...

Hello friends, I am a high school student who has used PMO for a few years now, and feel that I am dependent on it. I want to achieve the benefits of abstaining from PMO (such as mental clarity, energy, confidence...) not just the sake of my sexual health, but for my exams as well. Could you...

Hi everybody ! I food-fasted for 3 days and had no untimely thoughts, no erection nor erotic dreams. Is there some topic about fasting and reboot ? Is it recommended when starting a reboot ? I do recommend it cause it brings the mind to consider something other than sexual instincts as a...

I'm on my 2nd journey of nofap. 79 days in so far and the New Year will help me stay determined with a fresh calendar that's easier to track. Prior to noticing any benefits, be patient. First you've got to go through the difficult transition of nofap. But when that 'breaking point' kicks in...

Hi Everybody, I believe that meditation should be a lifestyle (because it helps with nofap) and not just a challenge. Then why take this challenge??? I believe that this challenge will give you some momentum to continue and make it a lifestyle. I believe the mantra"Small success gives you the...

Alright guys, im making this thread so that HOPEFULLY many people will post on here what im about to explain: I want this thread to be dedicated to stuff that you guys DO or HAVE DONE that have helped you: •Resist temptation/urges •Keep mind off of porn, sex, etc •Become healthier, more...

Hey guys. I made it to 150 days recently and my posts have been mostly about the benefits of no PMO. But I wanted to make another post about the things that helped me out to get to this point. This post is long but I'll try to make it useful by explaining why each thing helped me. I'll also...

Recovering from an addiction to PMO is incredibly difficult. This is mostly because PMO is very private, I think it is a lot more difficult for others to sense you have an addiction - at least in my case. If I had a cocaine addiction, it would probably be easier for others to deduce I was...

Welp I do have to say my abstaining is going well considering I just went on the hub and just stared at thumbnails and stuff. At first I did have the urge, but then I remembered this place. To be honest I think I can really do this. Also this is my third/ 4th day

Well, it’s day two and I feel like I can really do this, also it sucks that the original Teen Titans left on a HUGE cliffhanger :(

Hi all, I'm now 45 days away from watching porn and masturbating. I have touched my penis a few times. Naturally after watching porn for 15 years, the cravings are still there and I've been hard many times during the days. But I have done no masturbation. As I'm in a healthy sexual...

Hi, I wanted to make a list of small things I do that I feel helped me to reboot faster and feel better, or things I think would be helpful but never tried. This is more like a list I needed to write down to myself, but I hope it can help more people. Please, feel free to contribute, I want to...

What's your experience with morning woods during rebooting? I hardly ever have one. Sometimes on weekends, but it is not frequent. Must i recuperate them every day to say im rewired? I haven't had sincei was teen, im 41 now.

Wether you will admit it or not, if you could resist the urges you would already have been free. No matter what everyone tells you, it's all theory. You will only be free of porn when you are able and ready to look your demon in the eyes, to fight your urge every time it appears. You can do this...

Introduction: Hello, I'm 24 years old and I've been a porn addict since I was 13. A few weeks ago I decided to write a step to step guide how to reach 90+ days. Seeing so much guys, failing again and again after just a few days made me think. Maybe they would profit from a more hands-on guide...

I am neither joking nor internet-trolling in this forum. But, truthfully, I have been masturbating since I was conscious. I mean since the time I was conscious of my life or around the time when I was in 1st grade of primary school. As far as I can recall, everyday before going to sleep, I...

For those who are on this site and think they probably aren't addicted (including me), I would like for people who know they are/were to discuss the following question below. Assuming someone is NOT addicted to porn, is is still worthwhile to reboot anyway and avoid all PMO, cut out only the...

on monday afternoon yesterday after got relapsing, i made a promise to myself that i want to being the truth limit of myself, i also read so many post at this forum, watching nofap benefits videos on youtube, and even read the book of "the secret of eternal youth". but after got about four days...

I have a good experince in making healty streaks. My longest streak was about 32 or 33 days. But as i wasnt knowing about noFap forum so that was it for me. Otherwise 10-15 days streak had been achieved quite often. This is my first time i am making a streak after i registered on noFap. Guys...

Hey All, Its my 5th day, and i am aiming for a streak as long as it could go. Probably 2 months atleast. Ive decided to reboot to get my hard erections. Its my fifth day of No PMO. I wanna ask if i am in rebooting mode or not??

Has anyone used colour psychology in their rebooting process. I learnt about it today, it sounds interesting.

You heard it. Nofap isn't going to make you awesome. You are going to. You are going to evolve through the Nofap process. You are going to become strong, disciplined, alpha, confident. But the one who makes it happen is you. You make Nofap, Nofap doesn't make you. It's such a huge step into...

Howdy, Fapstronauts. Today I would like to talk about an issue of the nofap community. The counter. There are many prejudges of people because of the counter number. I don't think that is fair, to think something about someone you don't even know, therefore I think the counter/badge doesn't...

In order to be free, you must believe that you are free. But you must believe that subconciously, not conciously. You can only replace the lie that your "are addicted to porn" through belief. And there are more ways to regain your belief about freedom. You can do that by repetition...

So, i was on my own the other day, letting my mind wander aimlessly. I noticed the keyboard stand in my room. Then an epiphany: What if i put my laptop there and stop sitting down. Maybe my impulses will be managed that way. So I tried it. I'm in the second day and I haven't relapsed yet. I...

I am 27 years old rebooting male from Iberian Peninsula (actual Spain). I have been cleen for 13 days from POM. Despite casual fantasies during the day and four nocturnal emissions, I am progressing quite well. I have to eliminate these thoughts and reduce the food intake at night. I have been...

Most of us consider 90 days without porn to be a full reboot. There are several great threads out there providing support for the first half of this challenge (credit to @2525 for the 7 Days, 14 Days, 21 Days, and 30 Days Challenges). However, there are no threads that I can see for the second...

B.F. Skinner came up with theories on operant conditioning and behavioralism. These concepts have a direct application to pornography addiction. Most people who have taken a psychology course in high school or college have heard of classical conditioning with Pavlov's dogs. The concept of...

Reconditioned Mind's Reboot Plan: This will be an attempt to put in writing what I am doing to reboot and change my behavior surrounding porn. This is important to me. I have found through painful experience that inaction is an action - it is a choice to pretend like there is no problem, which...

Hey fellow fapstronauts. From now on I will post once a day in the Rebooting thread. Generally, I will share with you some thing I've found useful that day, starting with today. I'm not a fan of long posts, because I don't like wasting my time reading and neither yours, so I'm going right to...

Hi everyone! I wish to remain anonymous but at the same time, I've got to share my story with you guys out there. I started masturbating when I was hardly 7 yrs old! I remember, I never masturbated with my hands until I turned 13 rather I used to press my privates against a bed or a wall! I had...

I was on vacation in Vegas with my family. I was laying awake one night wondering what video I was gonna watch when I get home to PMO. I woke up the next day in disgust with myself. I got home and started researching the benefits to rebooting oneself, and the benefits to doing this challenge...

Reboot is going as well as can be expected. One thing that I sometimes struggle with is social media, namely Instagram. Deleted all of my social media apps including IG but sometimes (like once every 2-3 weeks) when I'm on my PC I'll check out IG. Particularly one girl I'm attracted to there...

So I've been reading some stuff in forums and I learnt relapse can happen at any point in time.No matter how far you've made it.A guy had relapsed after 180 days which was pretty shocking to me because I have this 90 day challenge and I thought It'll be easier after that length of time. I've...

I'm on 16th day of no PMO. I've hit flatline. I didn't have morning wood today. I'm feeling low energy & very depressed. How did you get through with this phase?

I have started rebooting, No porn at all from the 10th of August, and no masturbation for the last 6 days. I'm now so happy and I see SO many positives changes, and I'm really not about to give up. My fiance lives in US and I live in Italy for work, we supposed to see each other in a month...

It just upsets me that some people on Nofap are ashamed of being a virgin, and act like it's horrible. Being a virgin, to me, is way better than having meaningless sex with everyone that you see. Any thoughts?

What do you think about fetishes that most guys have?

Porn is about a power relationship in which we control the power, but it also has a hold over us because of the effects and addictive qualities. Let me explain... Ok, I study Anthropology at university. Anthropology is the study of humans through culture, biology, archaeology and linguistics. I...

One guy gave me info about how your PMO addiction kills your dopamine production. I know dopamine is related to your interest in sex, but I'm not planning on having sex forever. I just wanna know if there's ways to naturally produce dopamine so it can be easier for me during the reboot, and so I...

Last night, I had a dream where I relapsed to a certain thing that I would masturbate to in the past (I couldn't remember exactly what it is, but I think it was a nude scene of a woman in a TV show). The dream was so vivid, that I literally thought I relapsed and I had to reset my counter, LOL...

I am indeed aware of the fact that PMO messes up your brain. Because of PMO I'm not as creative as I should be, I have low confidence, I am very doubtful of myself, and I have paranoia. I believe that my brain would be fixed as soon as I completely reboot and completely get cured. I also believe...

Introduction: Hello! I'm on Day 68, and so far it's been a breeze. I've been able to overcome temptations and get my head straight to get this far. However, recently over the past week I've been getting extremely paranoid about performing in the future. I'm definitely in the strongest...

Last night I had arousing thoughts going through my head while I was sleeping. I would get an erection, and it would go soft after a little while. I would feel my urethra, and it was only a tiny bit sticky. Then, I checked under my trousers, and there was no mess whatsoever. Does this count as a...

Believe it or not, but not counting days is a game-changer. This strategy is working for me and I haven't looked back since. In my opinion, I thinking counting screws you over. Here's why: Counting days increases expectations and when you don't meet these desired expectations, you cause yourself...

Greetings fellow fapstronauts So after using this site and it's threads so often to help me out this past month I've decided to finally join the community. I'm not a new comer to abstaining from PMO, from 2014-2016 (age 14 to 16) I quit P after hearing so constantly the effects it can have...

I will tell you something Most of you said that you suffer from PMO and it makes you virgin till 30s. Well, my story is a bit different. I lost my virginity at 20 and at 22 i impregnated a 34 y.o woman that gives me a twin babies. My relationship with this woman is really a on-off relationship...
