rewiring

Hey people. It's a quick question. I went on and off with rebooting this year but I am getting kinda free by now. I started dating again recently and while I've had good results, I note that I can get aroused far more easily with a picture or the idea of porn than with a girl, and that feels...

I’ve watched porn since I was around 5-6 so I don’t think I ever had a very normal sexual experience. But when I got to my teens and around the pandemic it only got worse. I don’t feel attraction to women anymore, at all, nor do I feel anything when watching porn. Idk if it’s that I lost...

Hey, this last year I started having dates again and getting better in many areas. I also started excercising twice a week since last December. Started having sex and getting better with my closed circles so things are fine. Since I started dating this last girl I got my shit together and...

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...

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...

I am starting over, day two here..but I read up (a lot) on Porn addiction and learned some valuable stuff about my brain and what is happening...why the urges are so powerful and hard to resist...the sensitization, the frontal lobe being compromised, the extreme weakness of willpower and the...

Inside Me: I am suffering with my mental issue. The concern is I am losing my ability to focus, commemorate, ability to do critical things. Ability to plan long term goals and execution of short term goal in real time. I am losing my ability to socialize, I am being negative and thinking that I...

Hello everyone. With 11 years of MO and 7 PMO life has been a living hell.Today too I am in the lowest ebb of my journey(0th).It has been almost 7 months I took to nofap.In the meanwhile,I reached a highest milestone of 58 days no P followed by 36 days streak.Most of the time had been very good...

I am part of this forum for almost last 7 years though I start putting serious efforts much later and I realized after many failed attempts that porn/sex addiction is grossly underrated. I still haven't completed my 90 days reboot but I still consider myself successful to an extent, read on to...

I am thankfully at an almost 180 day streak to heal PIED, and I have been avoiding all porn like the boogieman. However this morning I accidentally saw a porn PFP on youtube and though I did not get aroused (which would have worried me had I not known that other porn addict recoverers noticed...

I'll keep it short. I am experiencing this really weird sensation in my head, it kind of feels like my brain is moving or tingling or something. It usually goes hand in hand with brainfog and not being able to think clearly. Sometimes it passes and I'm able to think more clearly but it's there...

So i've been thinking, meditation and working out and cold showers... etc, are great, but what are the things that you should do to work DIRECTLY on your reboot, i was thinking about journaling, thinking about what made you hold on and what made you fall ?

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...

Hi! I'm a 20 year old who started watching high speed internet porn at the age of 12 and stopped at 19. Take into consideration during these years I had zero sexual experience and grew up strictly to porn. One day I noticed that some types of porn wouldnt arouse me anymore, so I had to swap...

Hi everyone, Im new to this site, I've been a porn addicted since i was 13yo... Im 20 now. Basically, I've made a nofap for around 3 months (from november to february, something like that). I felt way better than all those years watching porn, I couldn't have sex before, couldn't get aroused by...

Hey everyone, I've noticed something weird in the past few days that I wanted to get some advice on. The first pornographic image that I remember being turned on by was the picture of a topless celebrity in an advertisement in a magazine I got in fifth grade. It had such a strong effect on me...

-Heavy addiction since 9/10 years old currently 23 years old -I have been reading that in my cases real recovery could mean up to 2 years of no PMO -After 180 days of no PMO had a gf , experienced PE the first few times, then PIED which was getting better each time, then we broke up because of...

I am at the end of day 12. I felt my symptoms slowly getting more and more intense within the past 5 days. Basically, as I write this, I cannot even think straight almost one bit. I feel very dull and fogged out. I know it’s a symptom of flatline and/or withdrawal, but this is really intense. I...

Im sorry if the question seems weird and offensive. I got nothing against the LGBT community. I have had HOCD in the past and now I feel its coming back. Also, i used to be addicted to gay porn and it took me a long time to recover from it. (i still am recovering). All this had given me HOCD...

As I was sleeping, I had a dream that I was watching porn and I thought that I had relapsed until I woke up this morning just fine. This is the third time that has happened during my current streak of no PMO and the fourth time it has ever happened after beginning my NoFap journey. I hope that...

I found out about nofap about a year ago and I've been on and off and I've recently been on my longest streak which is 48 days. I have full confidence that I won't relapse I totally despise porn and how it has ruined my life. I found out about porn at about age 6-7 from an older influence and...

I am just wondering how long it will last. Some posts I read of people going through Flatline for almost a year! Like what the heck?... I hope it doesn't last that long for me since I have been heavy addict past 10+ years. Also what is the best way to cope or reduce the withdrawals? Thank...

I am 17 years old and have just started my reboot a few days ago as I just figured out that porn has caused my ED.I believe that I understand the process just fine but I have been watching porn from such a young age that I got my first hard ons from porn not real people. My question is after...

Primera vez que participo en esto o que comparto con alguien este tema , perdón si soy directo pero mi historia es algo larga . No recuerdo bien a que edad empecé con el porno pero creo que fue a los 10 u 11 años , miraba por televisión a escondidas ,sin embargo no había masturbación , y...

I'd like to get some advice by the more experienced/educated on this matter because I think I'm a bit confused. Today reached day 34 of no PMO, which is my first try to cure my ED. I went straight into a flatline (or was just disappointed from my breakup) from day one for about 3 weeks and...

I had 100 days of no PMO and recently relapsed where I looked at porn one time and quickly masterbated and had and orgasum. The whole relpase lasted for about 15 minutes so there was no long period of edging. Just a quick look and had an orgasum. Does this mean that all the rewiring and brain...

I'm thinking before posting in the "rebooting and porn addiction recovery" category, I should get clearance here for this being a good solution in the first place: Speaking on the SITUATIONAL CONTEXT.. of being motivated/aroused in particular situations (from the actual environment you're in...

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...

Hey guys! I’m 19. Currently attending BYU. I’m LDS (a Mormon) and a male. I’ve been struggling with PMO for years. Like a lot. I believe it’s gotten quite excessive. I’ve tried to quit. But never do. Have I gone to my Bishop? No. I’m too guilty at this point and afraid. Anyone know about it...

Hi, I know that there are tons of sources, videos explaining about PIED or rewiring process of brain, but I want latest sources which explains them according to the current research/scenario on this thing. Thanks.

Hi, unfortunately I watched porn for about 10 minutes, after my 87 days of Hard mode. But I didn't masturbate at all, even if I was on the edge! I didn't even touch myself. I just stared at the video for about 10 minutes. So my question is will it completely reset my brain rewiring progress...

Hi guys. I just started me reboot to finally kick this nasty habit. My question is since I started my reboot I feel as if im am checking out girls/women even more than before. I understand it is normal to look at people we find attractive but I feel as if I am staring at literally EVERY SINGLE...

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...

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...

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...

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...

No więc... Startuję z takim tematem, bo zapewne jest tutaj trochę Polaków, a zawsze może być nam jeszcze raźniej wymieniając się spostrzeżeniami z naszego rebootu czy przeczytać słowa otuchy od rodaka. Czekam na posty, tymczasem ja powiem coś o sobie. ;) Mam nadzieję, że temat nie zostanie...

I’m writing this in the hopes it helps people who are in relationships. I won’t go into detail of what happened when I discovered my SO was a PA because it was extremely traumatic. We postponed our wedding day until I could determine if recovery was even possible. I want to encourage those who...

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...

Hi all, 14 days in hardmode, and in a flatline - no urges since the start. When libido returns, how will I know? Will I eventually get erections from just looking at attractive girls? Or do I need to actually get intimate with one to find out?

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...

Good Morning guys! Here is a video to motivate anyone on their NoFap journey. Discipline equals Freedom and if we apply this, we will get so far and improve in our lives in our NoFap journey. Listen to this everyday or when you are tempted. Have a great day!

Hi all! 25 yr old here. I am competing my 45 days of NoFap today. I wanted to thank all of the community members here. My journey till now had mild flatlines, followed by frequent mild erections. The erections would 5-6 times per day. I had a wet dream last week. Overall my signs of improvement...

Hey guys! First time posting in forum! Am 25 years old. Fapping since my teens and though I suffered from PIED, I had a pretty good exposure to sexual encounters. I started NoFap to overcome my PIED. Status: Am currently 39 days in (first attempt and longest streak) and I got some inconsistent...

Hi,I'm a 17 y/o teenager who's bound himself to get rid of this porn habit he got entangled into. I really believe that I got addicted to porn due to this 'feeling of worthlessness' in me and also due to getting bullied and picked on, at School. Unhappiness,feeling of worthlessness,lack of real...

21 year old here I have been in a flatline since 12 days but and going through withdrawals like insomnia and lack of libido. Masturbated since 16 year old but started with fantasy.....porn use was minimal till 2 years ago....never went to extreme genres and a session never lasted for more than...

Jo people, I have a question. Since addiction to porn is all about novelty, I suddenly came up with such a solution. Now that I've stopped my addictions, I spend hours reading articles and reading messages on the internet. I notice that I now have 30 to 40 tabs open with things I want to read...

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?

I can advice everyone to read this article.. I cant upload a website yet so search on google for : gettingstronger & opponent-process-theory/ It will be the first article! It's about the opponent process theory. I quote "Put into simplest terms, the opponent-process theory explains the...

I was a virgin until almost a year ago, when (after months of pretty decent streaks) i met an european girl online, and two dates later we had awesome sex in my bed. I fell for her so quickly, but a week later she told me we should stop seeing each other. I thought at the time i would never...

This is something that Ive never done before, and with this I'm talking about writing a thread on the forums, even though I've been a self-proclaimed Fapstronaut for a long time. In any case, hi. Hope you've had a nice day so far, regardless of whether you got to add another day to your pmo...

So last friday i relapsed, but let me explain. I didnt watch explicit porn videos, i watched a lot nudity. And i wasvery sensitive so literally with barely any touching i ejaculated. (I usually M with my legs i never do it with my hand, weird i know). So would that be considered progress as...

I'm 22, I used to do PMO things on a daily basis since puberty. Two years ago, I found myself having a severe PIED. At first I was denying it saying that I was exhausted or drunk or any other excuse, my girlfriend didn't show any reaction she was afraid to embarrass me. The PIED wasn't regular...

Yerrrrrrrroooooooooooo what's good y'all??? I'm new to my NOFAP journey but I've been loosely skimming many websites, including this one, for several weeks now and I felt like I needed to join. This doesn't mean I know everything, in fact, I have many questions, but I will ask those separately...

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...

If you have anything, anything at all that could be helpful on the whole topic of rebooting and PE then please consider giving this a read and helping a fellow fapstronaut out, this is my first ever post on the forums and I'm getting really desperate for an assuring word and some advice. Thank...

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...

Hey, guys! So I was just researching about stuff and in this pit of knowledge, I found this about NoFap and the rewiring process when I found this video which is hopefully useful. It was for me. Ain't that neat! I've been using this subconsciously in my music, songwriting and independent...

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...

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...

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...

So far so good. I defeated my porn and masturbation cravings. Can literally lie there with a full erection and don't even think about stroking. Depression is gone, mood swings are gone. Porn fantasies are gone and I have zero interest in old fetishes. I have morning wood, could be better but it...
