rewire

Hey all, I have been on the journey to get diagnosed with ADHD, something that should have been done years ago. I’ve done some research about the ways the dopamine reward system works with a ADHD brain and what I found is quite scary for someone with a clear porn addiction. People with ADHD...

Hi all, thought I would share ways that have worked for me getting over PIED and what I have observed from people trying to recover. I will start with the below because people are going to ask “but how sever were you?” Or “how long did you PMO?” Or “what type of porn we’re watching?” I am 35...

Hey everyone, Coming here today to make an update post and continuing to encourage you guys to stay away from porn. I made the horrific mistake of returning to porn and reestablishing an addiction to it after being 2 years porn free and fully rebooted from a previous 10 year addiction. This...

Hi guys! I haven't been an active user of this website for about 1,5 year (I am shocked how the time goes fast!). In 2021/2022 I made my longest and most successful NoFap streak - 185 days. Here are my previous post, if you want to see...

Hey guys I’m on day 220 of no PMO since 17 days I’m in a flatline (no MW, not working out etc) 35-40 days ago I realised I have puffy nipples(stage 1 gyno) even though I’m lean I just increased my body weight by 3% ( now on 15% body fat) I want to rewire my brain to sex with real women instead...

Hey guys I’m on day 192 And this is probably the 4th or 5th time I’m getting dream in which I’m masturbating to porn or something else Is this normal? Why am I getting these dreams? Please lmk

Hey guys I’m on day 192 And this is probably the 4th or 5th time I’m getting dream in which I’m masturbating to porn or something else Is this normal? Why am I getting these dreams? Please lmk

Hey guys I had stopped leaking after peeing coz I was sober for a while(2 monthish) Yesterday I went to a party and got lil bit drunk (3 shots) and I leaked semen/white fluid while pooping. I have noticed I start leaking only when i consume alcohol? What’s the relation and should I stop...

Yesterday I was taking a shower and I started to fantasize about a girl I made out 4/5 months ago Ave I got hard for like 6/7 minutes, I’ve hadn’t been that hard for that long since a long time. I’m on day 145 of no pmo. My question is is fantasising not good for recovery? And I didn’t fantasize...

Hey guys I’m on day 120 of nofap Had wet dream once at day 110 Morning wood has returned after a long time(had 5 in last 8 days) But I have No libido I probably am still in flatline This is my 3rd time doing NoFap First 2 times I failed after day 30 But this is my longest streak and it...

Hey guys I’m on day 102 off NoFap hard mode I have Morning wood for a week in day 30s And for a week again in day 70s and had little spontaneous erections in the day time. Also I have had little thick fluid leak after peeing for 4/5 times since 60 days( I researched about this and got to know...

after falling up and down fighting addiction for several years.. finally I passed my lowest phase.. . and kept asking myself... the root of all problems in my life.... i feel lazy.. panic attacks... bad thoughts about the future.. guilty. bad posture. dull face..loneliness is from this...

Hi All, During 2013-2021, I used to masturbate 3 days in a week and each session last for 3-4 hours(sex chats, soft core videos and 1-2 hr of porn) and I complete the orgasm by watching the perfect scene. Because of this, I never ejaculated inside my ex wife. My nofap journey started Sep...

Do we really have a well organized blueprint to rise above the deranged fetishes and sadomasochist tendencies? Anyone who has some knowledge is welcome to share their experience.

Hi, For my entire life I've only ever been truly aroused by femdom related ideas. This progressed into me watching increasingly intense femdom-related porn. I'm terrified I'll never be able to have a normal relationship because this is all I'm attracted to. I don't even feel excited about naked...

Hey guys, It's been a very long time since I posted on this forum. Last time was 2020 I think. Not a lot has changed since then. I'm still a virgin and 21 years old and I've had a lot of ups and downs with NoFap. I've had a lot of streaks around 90, even one streak of 180 days, but there always...

So I seemed to have rewired but it's like I've only rewired to have sex with my girlfriend. I don't get morning wood or spontaneously erect. I can no longer get hard by myself and have no interest in porn. What's going on? Any had the same thing as me?

I fapped for a few days, after a decent 12 almost 13 day streak. Today, I told myself that this was it, I was going to abstain for good. But before that, early this morning I fapped 3 consecutive times. Of course I felt bad because of the fapping, but I didn’t feel these head symptoms I have...

I was looking through my Snapchat, I couldn’t tell if it was a girls face faintly or a guys face and still can’t now bc it was blurry and dark but I kept looking, (I try not to look at girls faces bc they arouse me) and I stopped before it was too long but if it was a girls face (because of the...

Last time I fapped was just now, I made a vow to myself I wouldn’t fap again. My thoughts tend to spiral out of control. I had a terrible thought last relapse during o. I don’t want to get into it, not to sound dramatic, but not goods I was going to fap again to reverse the thoughts, but I...

Reboot reboot everywhere, but noone tells what to reboot with? After day x or so, our brain starts rewiring itself. This is when you feel bored or hit the flatlines they say. This is where I am at the moment. Now to the point, what is rewiring ? -》Brain looks for other things than porn...

At this time I’m 17 1/2 and I can officially say my pied is almost entirely cured . I’m gonna avoid wasting your time with this post and gonna keep it focused . Skip to the bottom for my complete guid and tips to beat severe pied BACKGROUND Before I started my road to recovery I had been...

Hello brothers, This might be a long post, but I hope it is worth it. I want to talk about my situation and my experience with nofap. I have been married for a year now with a beautiful 3 months old daughter. I knew about nofap “but not about PIED which is my main problem” 2 months before my...

Okay so one thing I’m struggling with is the timing of beginning nofap I keep thinking starting at say 3pm is no good so il get back on a streak from midnight then it can be a day or so then I relapse again and say “il start again from a new week” it’s stupid excuses, I know I’m over thinking...

Hello dear reader, I am mainly looking for advice and hoping that somebody with more experience shares his views with me. If this is not the correct subforum, please contact me, I will gladly go to the appropriate place. This post will probably contain triggers, so please be careful and...

This is a long post and contain some potential triggers words. I recommend reading until the end, it can potentially change your life if you implement it. My story Hi guys, my name is Juliano. I'm from Brazil, my first interaction with porn has been a magazine when I was very young. Soon...

Ok, so... If i was unable to have sex, and then started the reboot, and now i can atleast "finish" the sex, i should continue to do it, in order to help the brain rewire towards real sex, right? So my question is... Lets say im not able to "finish" the sex, because my p doesnt stay 100% all the...

I have had multiple opportunities to engage in sexual intercourse with a women recently, and find myself not in the mood or wanting to engage in sex or sex acts for fear of dissappointing my partner due to my PIED. I’ve heard attempting to have sex and giving oral can help rewire you, and stray...

I just started my new streak yesterday and I’m almost one day into nofap. I went to bed really tired and periodically through the night I had barely conscious fantasies that I was not in control of. I was conscious enough to remember them, but I was not conscious enough to realize that it was...

I’m just innocently laying down right now and tired trying to go back to sleep, but whenever I move I feel pleasure because I’m sensitive, Im trying for this to not happen. also, my urges got me fantasizing but I cut them off the best I can everytime they come, sometimes I’ll get aroused when I...

I just woke up about 10 minutes ago, I found myself slightly anxious and tired (more than usual). I remembered last night I had trouble with some fantasy and I went to bad having an urge. I remember while dosing off I had a very vivid erotic dream, it was kind of a dream but once I realized I...

I’ve been doing good and I got super worried about 10 mins ago when I found myself adjusting myself and getting pleasure from it. I literally wasn’t paying attention and I didn’t get pleasure from it, I just don’t know if it was voluntary. My question is, since I stopped immediately and It...

Today marks day 7. It feels great now that I am on track. I had a question though Here and there I'll catch something with my eye (no porn obviously but girls faces on TV here and there). I dont intentionally look but when I do i get slightly aroused and try to look away as fast as I can. I...

I know I’m posting these questions almost daily, but it just helps me clear up some questions I have about the things I do. Today is day 2 and I’m feeling pretty good already (compared to what I felt the other day). I’m starting to get a clearer head and my energy is starting to increase big...

I just got a message from a girl I know in real life. I didn’t want to go to the messenger app to see her picture or anything so I responded from the notifications screen. I then forgot to say something in the text so quickly went to say something and went in to the app. I did not feel the...

So yesterday I had a binge and I was in that binge mentality and I knew I had to break away from it and get on with my nofap streak because that was what was important. Today is day 1 and I started my streak last night at midnight. During the night I’ve been having these ocd thoughts (which...

After being a lurker on these forums for the past 6 months, I was hoping to come here with a massive success story to bring hope and motivation to all of you struggling out there but unfortunately I’m not there yet I’ve suffered a terrifying setback and need answers. I’m a 24 year old long term...

No pornography whatsoever. No peeking. No touching. No masturbation. For SIX MONTHS! Mindblowing. Absolutely incredible, thank GOD! Earlier this year, I was a complete PMO zombie. Struggling to escape pornography was an understatement. After falling from my highest ever streak of 58 days on...

PREFACE: Ive devised a plan I think could be really efficient. I do this because repeatedly fighting off urges is admirable but for me, ultimately futile, often being alone in the house with not much social interaction. THE PLAN: Starting from day 0. Abstain from PMO totally until day 14...

This is going to be a long post, but if anyone can help I'd REALLY appreciate it. I feel so lost and depressed I don't know what to do anymore. I am day 48 hardmode, which is my longest streak (last longest being 47 days) and have been sexually inactive since mid 2016, where I was in a...

I was lost a few years ago and I was lost for a long time. I did nofap before Nofap.com existed and each time learnt more and more. I eventually came to the truth - which is that a reboot and then a rewire is the only real way to do it. Like any other addiction you need a clean break from it to...

It's been just 4 days since I started my nofap journey . However I got a few erections during this period. I didn't jerk off. Sometimes I touched my penis to calm it down. There were very few instances where precum began oozing out. And I am regularly getting morning wood. Do erections count as...

Yesterday my girlfriend of 3 and half years broke up with me. I told her about my PMOing back in August when I noticed it began to affect my relationship in a variety of ways. After PMOing everyday 2-3 times a day (sometimes more) around last July I started to become less physically and...

It is very imperative to note that pornography is not only on the internet but also in the streets when we walk, we all see it everyday, but what I want to incorporate right now into my life is that I will intentionally not look at these features all over the place. I will intentionally decide...

I am male, 23. I’ve been watching porn since 8th grade, essentially introduced to it by kids my age who thought it was cool. Since then, I’ve watched it at least once a day up to now, save for the occasional day or week where I didn’t or couldn’t. I’ve tried to quit many times physically...

Hello everyone, i have been doing nofap for 13 days now, I have many questions and confusion, I am 20 years old, i have been first exposed to porn at 12 years old, i was not addicted to it and i rarely masturbated to it, instead i would use my imagination, My penis used to be extremely sensitive...

Hi everyone! ;) I’m on 258 day of my reboot and my libido probably returned completely. I have recently more desire for sex than before. I also noticed much more women interested in me. It happens that I look at the body of a woman, at her legs, buttocks, breasts. Is it something bad? I do not...

How to masturbate like a normal human? I mean wouldn't we get different fantasies when we will attempt to masturbate for the first time after we have abstained for so long.

Okay... I’m a bit a hipochondriac. In a nutshell - I was eating badly before. I was eating too little. I am an ectomorphist and I need more calories. I have been eating healthier for over a month. I'm trying to eat enough macros. In addition, I've been practicing calistenics for some time...

What's up! I have a very hard week now. Firstly, I have f**ing paws like brain fogs, depressive states, feeling of loneliness, anxiety, etc. Secondly, I have a few exams at the University. I have to pass them. Thirdly, I have to go to work... :) I want to know if there is anything that can help...

I’m 92 days no PM, 84 days no O. My SO and I are currently apart but will be back together in a couple weeks. She’s been amazingly understanding about my recovery and the process/time needed. I was hoping to get some advice from a few PAs who have successfully rebooted and rewired with a SO. I’m...

Hi guys! Does alcohol affect on your reboot? When I was drinking alcohol, I didn’t want to do anything the next day. Sometimes I felt sad. Do you feel any symptoms after alcohol? I wonder if the fact that I felt sometimes bad for a few days later could have been caused by alcohol.

What does your diet look like? Do you feed on something different during the reboot? I eat healthy. Since Easter, I have been eating badly, eating too little. When I did pmo I ate a lot of sugar and fat. When I started reboot, I stopped eating sugar. I was having trouble with that. On Easter I...

So if our brain gets rewired, and we don't need porn for simulation. But if we want to masturbate like normal person or without porn, will it lead to chaser effect, or will it do any harm to brain as porn used to do?

I have an untypical question for you, guys. Did anyone felt more frequent and stronger infatuation during the reboot? Recently at work I met a really nice and pretty girl. I was surprised that something attracted me so much that I thought about her while working and I’m home. I have not felt...

I want to ask you about withdrawal symptoms. The question will be directed to users with a little bit longer streak. I have 139 days of rehab and I feel the same symptoms for a few days as on the first day. Is it normal? My libido has returned recently, to the extent that I had one wet dream...

Hello fellow NoFap members. I am new to this website, so if you want to give me advice, I'm all ears! Basically my story is I started noticing beautiful women at a young age and having crushes and such and around 11 or 12 I started watching porn every day and masturbating multiple times a day. I...

Hi guys, I am just curious to know how does the brain reacts during abstinence? How does it rewire? How does it improve Dopamine receptors? Knowing this will motivate me even more, as will know what happens inside the brain.

At the beginning of the year I stopped watching porn and I thought when I past 90 days that I would feel different about porn but that didn't happen, all it took was a few really bad days for me to relapse and I only now have gotten the strength to stop again but I have to say at this point I am...

Do you guys have suggestions on how to rewire? I am started to see a little progress in my recovery but still dont feel like my brain and dick are on the same page. What are the best techniques to rewire. I know the most common one is to "test it out with a girl" I kissed a girl last night and...

Hello, this is my first experience with NoFap, I will be attempting to recover from a porn addiction that started when I was around 13 (I am now 18). I have only ever achieved an erection and orgasm once in my sex life, every other time I am with a partner I am never capable of doing either. My...

Hello all, My name is Daniel and I discovered I had porn addiction until I started realized I had a DE problem. I don't know if it was due to the porn or more to the way I used to masturbate Death grip. I have been doing noFap for over a month now. I don't know the exact day when I quit though...

After using masturbation as a tool to get away with my emotions and stress, I have now decided to take up the noFap challenge and reverse the changes that excess masturbation has caused to me. I am obese and have difficulty in hanging out with new people and I have sexual thoughts all day. I...

Hi there folks, Just wondering.. Because we want to give our brain some rest from all the things that increase dopamine in an artificial way, we should caffeine. But i like green and white tea, so... In white and green tea there is also caffeine.. Should we avoid this tea?

Where do I start? I met my husband in high school. He and I were just friends. We reconnected eight years ago (2009) on Facebook. Both married. He was in the long process of a horrible, bitter divorce from a woman who cheated on him with at least ten guys WHILE he was deployed and I was in a...

(maybe triggers?) So i've had a crush on this girl i met two months ago, and i finally mustered up the courage to ask her out. She said yes! First date (14 november) we go to a cafe to get some drinks and end up at her place. While cuddling and kissing in her bed, i notice that i can't have an...

Hello everybody! I just want to write somewhere about my situation. I´m on day 5 without masturbation to porn. It has not been hard really. The only difference is that i feel more calm and maybe a bit more sad than usually. I haven´t really felt that porn is a big issue in my life, although...

How long does it take to rewire your brain with real sex from porn? Last month i got a girlfriend and weve been having sex probably 4 times a week and it still takes me several minutes at least to O and my sensetivity seems limited.. Ive been on a nofap streak for well over 180 days.. Earlier...

Reboot, rewire, recover.... Repeat this to yourself everyday. It's my new mantra. I'm sick and fucking tired of counting days, over-fucking analyzing every fucking thing I do. What it simply comes down to is denying the urge. Keeping your hands off your dick. Do you really want to heal, or...

Today marks Day 71 of my noFap journey. I honestly didn't think I could EVER make it to 71 days but here I am. I started because I had severe PIED, a completely flaccid dead penis caused by 8 years of fapping everyday. Healing has been an extremely slow process but I believe I am inching towards...

I have recently started to reboot in "hard mode" and managed to get to 16 days so far and I can confirm that there are indeed unexpected results. I have started masturbating very early at the age of 14(between 3-4 times a week).At fist I only used imagination and images of attractive women that...

Hello everyone my name is Michael im 26 from County Cork in Ireland. For the best part of 11 years i have been addicted to porn. I was just last night watching Netflix and i came accross a series called The Dark Net, in one episode it featured Alexander. He went on about NOFAP and i was...

Yup. Here's the one thing that'll change it all for you. This is for my fellas who have been rebooting for 60+ days. Not sure where they are headed. Still suffering from Pied. Here's the end all be all solution. You need to put yourself out there. Find a girl that you can trust and that you're...

I had sex for the first time in almost a year and it was amazing. I finally was able to quit watching pornography after 2 years of trying, my ED is gone and I had sex with a girl that I really like. What I did and how you can too: 1.install a porn blocker - I recommend k9: make the password...

This has been the hardest 53 days of my life but I'm giving this everything I have. Few quick pieces of info: Discovered I had PIED bout 60 days ago. Immediately found out as much info as possible (Gabe Deem, YBOP etc). Even with porn it was usually somewhere between 50-80% hard, so a pretty...

I think I have found a method to rewire without a partner. P.S. It is really quite a sad method but not as sad as pied haha! I'll give you some background. I've recently fallen in love with a girl but suffer from really bad pied. Completely dead penis. Unfortunately she lives in another country...

When I used to watch porn I would watch only the babe category and only appreciate slim women. Not watching porn for 23 days now I am starting to get erections for women of all sizes in real life. It shocks me because I saw a fat girl at work yesterday and she had a pretty face. Usually I would...

i am 21 yo, been masturbating to porn since as long as i can remember. i even started watching porn before puberty. started with pics leading to porn which led to more extreme porn categories and fetishes. i started having relationships with girls at around 16 but nothing physical. after a while...

I've looked this up and I saw the reddit post from a year ago where it depends how long you've been watching porn and doing it. I started watching porn around 14 and I'm 30 now. I fapped about five to six times a week and watched porn almost every day.
