self confidence

Ended my 72-day streak yesterday. Not watching porn for 72 days straight was a huge benefit. I need to do the same with social media—it completely kills your focus. There are plenty of other downsides too. Anyway. I think the whole idea that quitting PMO for a long time boosts your...

I'll keep it short as I can. When you start to respect yourself , you'll lose some people even those that have been around years/decades. Once you know something bothers you , you cant turn a blind eye or pretend its not a big deal likes you used to do. People are used to the old you , the one...

Hey all, Something happened recently that has really affected my life, brought me into a downward spiral. In short, I've had a porn addiction since I was about 12-13 years old (19 now). Of course, after this prolonged exposure to porn, it naturally escalated to more taboo and intense...

Hello! I am tired because my insomnia had a bad night last night, excuse any badly written sentences or faulty grammar. I am someone who has relapsed again and again for 3 years while trying to get free from porn and I finally found a way to get to at least 7 weeks (I don't keep track, you...

I had problems since always since I was younger, I trained my body and mind since I was a child and when the time to lose the virginity came I was scared and worried because I realized what I did to myself over the years. My first time was a disaster (as almost every first time) and so the next...

I'm a nerdy 27-year old dude who's never had any serious relationships (and afraid to get into one), can recount the few times I had sex as mostly bad memories, and for as long as I can remember I've always had a huge challenge with loving / accepting myself. After failing the 90-day hardmode...

Hello, I entered this community because I want to make a change in my life. At 16 I am experiencing the consequences of masturbation, such as low self-esteem and low energy in life in general, not to mention that I have stuttered since I was a child and that does not help my self-esteem either...

PLEASE NOTE. This post will be very long and probably confusing. English is not my native language, so there may be some grammatical errors. I intend to post elsewhere, so I would consider this post as multi themed. I will divide the text into parts for readability. I apologize for the excessive...

Hi everyone, I'm a 19 year old female who started watching porn and masterbating when I was 15 years old. I went to an all girls high school and I didn't feel as pretty or desirable as the other girls because I was bigger than most of them. Around that age many of them starting getting...

Hey, I'm not sure how common this is, but I remember joining this forum back in 2015. I remember being really excited to join and to start my new life. But then life got busy, and noFap got kind of swept to the side. In the mean time, my fap issues never really went away. A lot has changed...

I'm gonna say that I've been without PMO for almost 10 days now and I'm starting to feel a few of the benefits. Everytime I was on PM, I never really had the will nor energy to do whatever it is I needed to do at the time (ie show up to work) or go for that hour and a half jog or even approach...

My partner is now over 77 days PM free and in terms of his life, things are sincerely looking up. He has a new routine going to the gym and completing a daily checklist to make sure he’s on top of things he wants and needs to do. I’m pleased with his progress but I feel like I’ve been left by...

Hi All, I'm 23 years old guy. I started masturbating from very early age (since 10 year old kid) without knowing about masturbation. The craving for that feeling made me an addict to Masturbation. I got introduced to porn during my early college days and i literally became a slave towards PMO...

Urges are strong when they come ( no pun intended ) but I am fighting and I feel great, my energy is up, have energy to go to the gym and have self confidence. I had so far couple wet dreams which I embrace and I wish I had more often either way I thank mother nature for the release while I...

Hello, everybody. How you doing? What are you up to? I'm a youngin' from Europe (22 years young) and my mother tongue is not English. Here I am, because I wanna talk with you about a lot. IT is already day 26 of semen retention for me. That's it retention, I feel no addiction to porn, even...

I knew that the basic driving force of survival of mankind is EGO, but it feels embarrassing and annoying when we obtain it in larger quantities. let me explain my problem, just let me know your suggestions or solution right after finishing to read the article. i used to deal with the ego...

Recently i have been interested in masculinity and how today men are becoming less masculine. Society has given masculinity a bad name and men have repressed their true essense. I myself have started nofap and and lifted weights for 3 months now. I feel a lot more confident and i am in more...

Hi, I'm new in the forum, I sign up yesterday, and now I wanna share my experience with this challenge. Now I got 20 days without fapping... but nothing changed on me. Only were in the 10th day around sometimes, my emotions changed drastically that time because I was more than excited, and I had...
