self-esteem

Hello fellas, so the years is turning towards the end. My issue is that I always tend to fall back into masturbating to femdom porn (and other submissive porn: strapon, cuckoldty, bbc etc) and do sexchats about self-humiliating things with other women. It’s always the same procedure and...

Today something strange happened at my local mall that lead me to recurring thoughts about porn. But before I get into the situation I quickly want to tell you how my addiction to porn started. I started watching Internet porn on the age of 15. It went from vanilla to an*l to degrading porn...

First and foremost, I'd like to stress that, although the push-up is a great exercise, this isn't really meant to be a fitness thread/challenge. I'm going to do 100 sets of 10 push-up reps minimum in public, and I'm challenging you to do the same, for your own good. "Why would you do this?"...

hi guys, I'm only afraid of porn memories won't fade away ,so my question for anyone who could abstain for long time before. will porn memories fade away ? I think one time before when I could abstain for about 40 days and the porn memories were less stronger and it was only fleeting thoughts...

I I have never been someone who is comfortable with sharing what I've been through but seeing as how no one here knows who I am I take comfort in that anonymity. I have been heavily addicted to porn for years... I was also sexually, verbally and physically abused by my father. Masturbation...

Let me be frank... jerking off is a wonderful thing. It's relaxing, it's healthy, let's you explore the depths of your sexual fantasies and gives the possibility to resonate with your body. It can be a sensual, spiritual and aleviating experience. In contrast to probably a lot of fellow...

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 am going through a porn-addiction, excessive masturbation as well as low self-esteem. After watching some TEDx talks about these topics I have realised that my mood and sexual desensitisation is largely due to my addiction. Trying challenges alone has not worked in the past so I am really...

“She might have even liked me… but I will never know now…” I was a guy who PMO’d 2x/day every day (early morning AND late night) from ages 18-26. I failed out of grad school a few years back, which made my PMO addiction take an even worse turn. I moved back in with my parents. I worked a...

Hello everyone! I want to share my thoughts on discipline and purpose with you. In order to be healthy, strong men, we need discipline. Each of us has a different purpose. Regardless of what it is, it drives us to be disciplined. This is because we will do what is necessary to fulfill it. But...

HeyWassupHi, I created an account yesterday. I want to talk about the worst part of porn addiction for me. It's not the time it consumes, or the energy it drains, or the loneliness it breeds. It's not the regret I feel wondering how I might have spent all those hours differently, and it's not...

This is my story. I am just about to turn 18. It's the final year of the school but I haven't had any real friends. It's hard to get up to go to school because I know as soon as I arrive I will put my mask on and pretend that I am very funny guy, very honest, very cool. Ideal guy, who knows...

I am 33 and I have been doing PMO for around 20 years. In that time, I've never had sex, had a boyfriend, been on a date, even had my first kiss. During my 20 years of this, I've had social anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I also have iron-deficiency anemia, which is another energy...

We read a list of negative action with negative results from the Refuge Recovery book the other night, and one of them that stands out to people sometimes is Self-Esteem. After all most people think it's a good thing to have Self-Esteem, but I would say it's not a matter of having high or low SE...

I just relapsed after 23 wonderful, odd, flatlining, PMO-free days. I don't plan on relapsing again, and I want to talk about how the gym has helped me get through this particularly difficult day. Clearly I have some work to do. But during those 23 days, I hit the gym. HARD. I ran on...

I appear to have self-esteem issues. I am competitive in nature and get discouraged easily when I feel someone else is better at something. This is the case even when I could rationally disregard the success of that other person, or even learn from them. Also, I suffer from mood swings and very...

Hello everyone! I've been on the path to becoming a better person for about a year now, but I've continually been tripping up on some vague, unknown sexual obstacle. After doing some research, I think the psychological effects of growing up watching porn are contributing a lot to my personal...

Hello guys i am a 22 years old Arabian guy ,computer science and math student and this is my first thread in this forum, so this is what happens after quitting porn and faping: -I improved my self esteem. -My self confidence boosted regularly and now i feel more confident about myself. -I have...

General background. Im 24 years old and have been masturbating to pornography at least once a day for the last 10 years. I found my brothers pornography collection very young, around 8 years old but probably started masturbating soon after that, as I got into my early teens it became far more...

Hi, I'm a guy age 27. I will start today toward with 90 days no PMO. Within the last couple of years, i've come to the understanding that my self-esteem is very low. In my case, low self-esteem started very early, as I was a very shy boy. Had trouble with social anxiety and had very few...

Hi guys, first of all, i hope my story won't be to long :D i'm not completely new to the whole NoFap topic, i read about that concept in a book about manliness maybe 1,5 years ago and already tried to avoid masturbation a few times (i think my record was about 25 days or so). Often when i'm...
