rebooting

I wanna fight my masturbation addiction so that the urges can cease to exist completely. The thing about it, though, is that I want to be able to be in a relationship with a woman without caring for sex. That's why I'd rather be with asexual women so it wouldn't be expected of me. I just don't...

Ive heard of one guy saying that his masturbational urges would die out after doing nofap. But personally, my sex drive would be lower when I go days without relapsing. I don't know if it's just that fact of me being an aegosexual (Aegosexual- An person who can get aroused by things meant to...

I'm almost on day 20 and I noticed: -I'm more communicative -I have more stamina

Hi everyone, I'm very happy to had found a site like Nofap, where people with the same problem could discuss about solution to solve it (on the web, sites about PMO are very uncommon to find). I joined it about two months ago because it destroyed my ambitions and interests, social life included...

As in what I should expect to happen, certain checkpoints, timescales, to manage my expectations. Links appreciated!

Hello Fapstronauts I've seen a lot of guys saying that NoFap has decreased their acne significantly. This is the main reason for me getting into NoFap as I have really bad acne on my face but not really any on my shoulders or back or neck. I would love to hear about any of your guys stories in...

We talk about willpower a lot. We often praise the attribute and talk about how much willpower we need in our recovery. However, there is just one problem with the idea of willpower: most people see it as a character trait that you either have or don’t have. For people that struggle with...

I can certainly say that at this point, the rebooting process feels much better than 30 days ago. 30 days ago, I experienced some tough withdrawal symptoms such as depression and social anxiety. Today, I have more confidence in myself and around women, more energy and motivation, less anxiety...

Like the title says, I don't really have any of the problems fellow fapstronauts seem to share. Most individuals drawn towards nofap seemed to have suffered from several of the following ailments: 1. PIED 2. Social anxiety/ alienation from friends and family 3. Financial duress due to...

Hello, Fapstronauts! So on the topic of fantasizing, I was wondering if these things are hindering my reboot. I know it's wrong to fantasize sexual scenarios, look at P-Subs and whatnot. But the problem is when I sweet talk a lady I'm texting, I get erections just thinking about having dinner...

hi, I am on my first day after a relapse and I don't have a girlfriend or nothing at the moment because of my pied. I heard of something called "rewiring" and I am worried I'll never be able to get back to normal without having a girlfriend. How do I "rewire" without one? Will my erections come...

Hello! I just wanted to ask if rebooting will get me out of this very descriptive post I found online: http://ask.metafilter.com/217322/My-mind-is-blank-all-the-time-How-do-I-fix-this This is exactly how I feel and it's as if that person is talking about me. Can anyone confirm that...

When I mean SFW I mean visually safe. Because a lot of the websites I visit about Karezza have a lot of triggering pictures in their article. I'm too worried that if I spend too much time searching for a proper one I'd eventually end up looking at too much triggering material. Thanks

I've been PMO free for 2 weeks and today I had a relapse and M+O in the morning. I started a 90 day reboot and feel like crap now for breaking my promise to myself after just a few days from starting my reboot. I feel like this behavior is so ingrained that it's hard to break... I can avoid P...

I am Currently on 4 Days Of No PMO i have edged twice and want to fully know the effects of edging and in particular what gets taken away when edging.

Hello I am Med, I'm 18 years old and I am so glad because I found a new family, a new community and a new lifestyle, I'm glad to find your forum. I always remember Henry David Thoreau when he said in Walden : "Chastity is the flowering of men; and what are called Genius, Heroism, and the like...

Just wanted to share that I am at 13 days. I am horny as a toad. But my junk is limp like a biscuit. I am always concerned of when I am going to fall. It just feels inevitable. If you pray please say a prayer for me...that I will be courageous in this unseen battle.

Today is day 73 of NOPMO and I feel very nutral about that. No happy nor sad. Just it is what it is. I have had a very different experience from the first 60 days of overcoming this. You may notice that in my status posts. What did I experience? At day 65 a girl-friend of mine saw a reocurring...

Hello, NoFap! So far, at this moment in time, I am currently in Day 3 of my abstinence from PMO. What got me through is something unexpected, and never thought would occur: my family's maltese poodle Bo. (Ironic since I was originally scared of any kinds of dogs and was diagnosed by my...

In this nofap journey, one should know what to beat. Whether it be your own longest streak or others' longest streak etc.. Or maybe your meat.. Ugh, forget about the latter.

Hi all - My partner and I have both been struggling with porn and masturbation recently, and tonight we decided to delete our respective accounts together. Then he sent me a link to this website, and here I am. It was incredibly sad for me to see all the work I put into my blog gone with the...

This is what baffles me most about porn. When people say it's nothing like real sex in anyway as in girls don't really do certain positions etc. I've seen claims like these in YouTube documentaries. I just can't imagine sex in some other way than the way it's made in porn. Is all this true?

In the red circle we put the sexual behaviors we want to abstain from, the ones we consider “acting out.” These are the behaviors that we identify as addictive, harmful, or unacceptable for us. In the yellow circle we put behaviors that may lead to acting out, like triggers, or that we are not...

Catholic male, married with 3 children on earth and 2 in heaven. Devoured by P and M since age 12. Wanting to heal a tumultuous life filled with PMO. I am starting to see how my problem with PMO influenced or created some other problems in my life like; when I was adulterous and verbally and...

Hello everyone, I'm new to Reddit and this community. I'm a 20 year old male with a lust addiction who just lost another battle like 2 hours ago. I've never been in a group like this before and I know it isn't the same as being in an in-person group, but I'm going to give this a try. I called...

Day1. I will be pretty open with this, nothing to be ashamed of since we are all families here. I started PMO three years ago I have tried stopping on my own different numbers of times but I failed. But with the help of this community, with my mind made up, with the knowledge gain, with me...

Hello guys, I decided to join the club today. After a very long time PMOing (12-27 years), watching pretty heavy stuff the last few years, I was able to quit porn 9 months ago, but I never stopped masturbation or fantasising. I think it might have been easier at the moment because of my low sex...

Hi Looking for support and strategies. My current expereince with rebooting has been extreme lethargy, mood swings and depression (not clinical depression). And I'm looking for some strategies to bypass these while handing the challenging demands of life. I have exams coming up next week and...

Hi, So I started my nofap journey in the hopes of going a month without porn and masturbating and also rewiring my brain to go crazy for a human partner. One bonus is before nofap I used to have delayed/ no ejaculation with a real partner unless I used my hand and now I can O with a partner. I...

So I'm new here and I'm going to tell my story and I hope I will be able to get a solution on here. OK so I'm currently 16 and I'm going to be 17 by October I'm still a virgin but I have had a chance to have sex once, but I was unable to penetrate My partner Because of some other issues called...

Hey guys, Like in the title, I have few simple questions about rebooting. I'm on day 23 if that matters: 1. When does flatline start? I don't ask about exact day but if it is second, third month? I know it depends on specific person but approximately? 2. What are symptoms of flatline? 3. Am I...

On the NoFap forum, I see that many members are attempting this without a clear set of rules in place. Many of them will ask things like "I watched porn, did I relapse?". It is apparent that they do not have a clear set of rules in place. I recommend everyone to have a clear set of rules in...

I was curious of what I would experience in my first month in recovery NoFap/ejaculation/sex?

I wanted to know if guys can get Blue balls just from being hard for awhile without being aroused? You know like morning wood or involuntary erection that stay stiff for while?

I'm worried that if I have a wet dream that means I relapse! Does it?

With NoFap does your penis change shape, color, girth, length or does it shrink? Serious question guys?

Woohoo! So I am trying to achieve small goals... I am trying to achieve a week of rebooting , then followed by a 2 week reboot, and then 4 week, and so on until i can get to my ultimate goal; 90 days of rebooting! 5 days strong, i need to get to my first goal. let's get it NoFap!

I find myself needing to ponder over the rebooting process. This process is a set amount of time for some people. For others it is a way of life and they just slap the term rebooting on their progress for the sake of conformity and keeping everyone from being confused. This is not a reboot...

Well, the time has finally come to take this problem head on. I got into sissy porn and hypnosis videos about a year ago and I cant do this anymore, I feel confused about almost every erotic thought I have, I cant tell if its my brain or the porn thats talking. Even during sex with my...

I'm trying to reboot completly since I was 19 but I think these processes take time to sink in and I think I'm now ready for a full reboot. Many things have changed, I have learned a lot. I hope someone will help me through this process, and I really hope someone will find this useful. I will...

Hello. I may be the first person to introduce you to NoFap. Welcome! We're glad you're here. Many of you ask for advice and strategies in ending your porn addiction. Here are tips that work for current NoFap users. I highly suggest you read it. Thanks and Good Luck! We are rooting for you!

Hi, I'm new here but I have the same goal as most of you. Complete elimination of PMO related content. I have been addicted ever since 15 and so I know how hard this is gonna be extremely hard but before this, i have never really tried my best until now. I'm at the age of 18 and I am going to...

Hello fellow Fapstronauts! I'm deciding to take the plunge and join the enlightend self-possessed. This is not the first time I have abstained from porn and masturbation, It has been a life long yo-yo. I am going to embrace this year as a year of change and take charge of my life. It's been a...

Hey mates! Hope you are all doing fairly well and that everything is fine. So I started a small chemistry with this girl (I have liked her since 9th grade) and finally we get together on an evening and she confesses to me that she likes me. I instantly melted. But she said she hated dating and...

I´m 26 and I´m on my 23th day. Before I did a 83 day hardmode but actually I think I haven´t changed my perception of women (or at least significantly). I´m kind of worried because I can´t see them in a healthier way (sex objects). Also kind of obsessed to have a really sexi and hot girl in my...

Hey guys and girls, I am in my 54 days of rebooting. I began this rebooting process because I suffered from PIED and I could not maintain an erection with vaginal sex, only with blowjobs. So, for a while I begin to have night erections and morning woods but are still very soft, 50% maybe and I...

Day 9/90 is complete. That's 10% progress. I have decided to post a thread every third day from now on describing my previous 2 and the current day. 7: All of a sudden I am feeling very drowsy today. Not sure if it is because of rebooting or am I too tired. Also in the back of my mind there is...

I'm a 26 year old gay guy who's keen for some changes. I've been using porn fairly regularly (4-5 times a week) since I was 12/13. In the last few years I've also been using Grindr and Scruff to talk to guys online. At first using porn and these apps actually felt pretty natural as an outlet...

I just turned 17 and have been struggling to quit PMO since my girlfriend dumped me 3 months ago. She was gorgeous and everything I ever wanted but I never could finish with her, which she hated. Also I couldnt stay hard in bed or from BJs. I didnt really realize till we broke up that porn was...

Can I still have a successful reboot while MOing? If I cut out all visual stimulation but i still fap to my imagination of girls I know, will that still reverse the effects of porn and bring my brain back to normal? I'd imagine it would depend on my situation. Well I'm a teenager, been fapping...

So I got this really lengthy PM after I posted my first reboot challenge urging me to take up the trademark hard 90 challenge. And so I will. I must say I'm not feeling particularly optimistic about this as I've tried to quit many times before and I've failed pretty miserably. And then I stopped...

Hello everyone simon here, just like all the teens who fall into this faptrap i actually fell into this mess little earlier like i was 5th grade and still doing this disgusting yet pleasurable thing i did it everyday since that first day i started no matter how many times i tried to stop doing...

Hi, I'm past my third week into nofap (no fapping, no pmo, no porn, etc...), and, well, I feel "fine". I don't have urges, I'm not depressed or anything, I lift weights everyday, and I feel "fine". I understand it's "only three weeks", but shouldn't I be getting "triggered", or "more...

I wanted to start this form to talk about the positive effects of abstaining from a habit that is truly a waste of time! I'd like for people to share what they are doing with their reclaimed time now that we are not staring at a screen for hours on end! For me it's been nothing short of amazing...

Okay so I'm going to begin this journey! I am ready for a happy life where I will stop having so much guilt and start loving myself more. I'm sick of pornography running my life. Let's kick butt, 90 day challenge starting now!

I've read about spontaneous emissions, and now I'm terrified of them. I'm especially worried about one happening in class, and the resulting shithole that that would be. Do I have to worry about this?

I am 30 years old and have finally hit rock bottom with my porn addiction. Unfortunately, I started young (13 or 14) and have used PMO ever since. I have struggled with PIED for forever but always used excuses like "I just had too many beers" and "maybe I just wasn't that into her". I'm 50/50 on...

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. Albert Einstein

I'm 30 yrs old, went to prison when I was 17 and was released at 26 yrs old. My background into HD porn on the Internet is slightly limited (only 4 years but I was PMOing nearly everyday sometimes twice a day) however I've been PMOing for about 7 years and MOing 5 years for a grand total of 16...

I am seriously having a hard time getting up after my recent failure. I seem to have trouble resisting P-Subs such as online chats specifically and that in turn can turn into erotic literature. I'm rid of porn which is good but i don't know if i'll get through this. I want to cry a bit right now...

Day 16 is behind. Actually, I did not expect to change so quickly. However, I feel that I am experiencing physical and mental changes quickly. Thickening in my voice Black spots in my face that have not improved for years have begun to disappear. I've started to wake up earlier. My...

Hi guys! I'm Gab, 21 form Italy. I've been in on new fap last year and I've gone through 76 six days of rebooting. Felt very nice, really great. Last year I posted a similiar post telling to join me on Whatsapp group to make it till 66 days. We started in 5 and 2 of us have made it. Now We are...

So, im at day 15 and i can really start to see differences in my temprement, attitude and mood. The urges are much less frequent but they attack much more stronger, I'm really happy with myself for resisting because they really are much stronger than before. It seems to be certain womens faces...

YES!!! The title says it all..!!! I relapsed many times. Things made me so weak that I am totally addicted to it. They changed my life during the past 3 years. I am low self-esteemed because of Masturbation. I really hated myself right after I relapsed. But not anymore!! Every time I wanted to...

Been feeling so good physically since I began NoFap 5 days ago. But today I am feeling so down in the dumps. I keep finding reasons to feel sad (I miss my family that lives out of state, I don't spend enough time with my woman, etc. ) and I am wondering if this is relating to no masturbating...

Hi, my name is Sebastian, I came to this organization to change my life in terms of everything that has to do with masturbation, and the consequences it has had on me. Masturbation, I masturbate every day, be it day, afternoon, or night, no schedule. I do it with pornography, it is really...

Finished up day 10 here. Actually, I thought I was going to have a hard time. But I'm pretty relaxed and I left 10 days behind. 10 days is too short for me. But I feeling changing. For example: Now my paranoid is getting shorter and I'm starting to communicate with people. (Especially womens)...

Hey guys! I'm 17 and believe I'm addicted to masturbation. I've tried over and over to stop but always fell short. I'm optimistic about this website and hope to reach my goal of not masturbating for 30 days (from 12/10-1/10/17)! the longest I've gone was 10 days so let's see if I can do it. wish...

Some reflections after 5 weeks in this reboot program: It worths it totally to quit this addiction: selfsteem, concentration, energy, relations, etc. Still is quite a challenge all along, and each day must be THAT day where I face my feelings, urges, triggers, angers, etc... Eroticism...

So, as of this morning, I am celebrating my third straight week fap free, give or take a couple of hours. That's 21 whole days without being on porn or touching myself. Sure there's been some slight urges here or there but definitely nothing I've been able to combat easily. I think this forum...

(First of all, take in consideration that I don't usually speak in english, so excuse my english please.) Hello, for some months I've known about this site, and I've always thought that this is a brilliant idea for people who are determinated to solve their problems. Until today, I didn't...

I've been doing this for 24 days and all i feel is me getting hornier and hornier. I haven't noticed any superpowers at all. In fact all i feel is down all the time. I just feel drained and exhausted. The 1 week was awesome but after that it's been a slippery slope downward. Now i am trying to...

I've known about NoFap for a while, but I only made the decision to join today. I've struggled with porn for nearly ten years, and it's gotten significantly worse over the past year. I've already set up a lot of barriers- blocking sites, talking to trusted friends, etc.- but I'm still struggling...

Hi, I'm an 18 year old male, currently on my 10th day of no PMO. The benefits are noticable, since then, I've had 3 dreams (or rather, nightmares) where I have relapsed. I then wake up to notice that I was just dreaming. But I don't want these dreams. Any ideas on why I'm getting these dreams?

*Before I start, I do talk about relapsing here. I also talk about Intercourse... not in any detail AT ALL but it is mentioned so don't read if you think this could trigger* Hey guys, AD_UK here. I'll just begin by assuming that none of you will have read any of my previous posts about my...

A sad hi toh everyone. So this is about my relapse on day 5 after I made out with my girlfriend in an open place (there was not nobody around though) but I had this uncontrollable urge to M when I came back home. I tried really hard to hold it back but I started browing through P again after a...

I am on my third day of not PMO'ing and i am having problems with abstaining because the urges are more frequent when there are girls everywhere i look on the internet. If you are searching for a song, BAM. If you are looking at a clip on youtube, BAM. If you scroll your timeline on Facebook...

When you're in the midst of rebooting, you go through a phase that makes or breaks your reboot. Here are some of the things my brain tells me to trick me: "Hmm, you already viewed a P-sub, since it's like a reboot anyway just PMO and start fresh." "You're not going to get laid anytime soon...

well today is my 2nd day since not PMO, i think i can do it this time, even i create this account, i've never tried to do this. let's see what happen this days

Hi, I'd like to introduce myself to this great community! I've been watching porn and masturbating for a lot longer than I'd care to mention. I want to gain control of my life. I've tried quitting before, but I've never made it passed two weeks. Those two weeks were great and I was able to...

Hi, This is something of a cross-post, but I'm new and may have lost the person that means a lot to me. I'm trying to throw myself into this. So please forgive me. New to NoFap, but I've been here before in terms of porn addiction. Around the start of uni I had a big thing with porn that...

Hello Everyone, I am currently at day 33 of my streak. I have noticed that NoFap has changed me completely. My posture has improved drastically. I walk with confidence. My libido has increased a lot. In short, i have again started feeling like a real man. I can crack a conversation with anyone...

Hello everyone, As you can see in the title, I'm a 26 year old guy with currently a problem. As a new fapstronaut I would like to get rid of that problem and live a happy PMO free life. The reason I want to stop PMO, is because recently I opened my eyes and realised that porn had turned into...
