struggle

Today I have had the problem of reaching out to long lost friends/ people I know and asking them if they want to have a sexual encounter. I know that this may not be the worst thing as I feel is better than resorting to pornography, masturbation. Fuck but it makes me feel slightly embarrassed...

Every single time I get an urge I immediately give in and jack off. I literally have no motivation to fight the urges, don't know wtf happened to my willpower. I do 2 sports at school and my grades are fine, but I've been feeling really demotivated and lazy in life recently. I don't really know...

My main issue is that ever since I started university, I used it as an opportunity to not masturbate. I would spend 6 days a week, 14 hours per day out of my house, at the university & travel, so that I wouldn’t be at home and end up fapping (I also do not view adult content whatsoever in this period)...

I Am on Day 26. Sometimes I Imagine to Give Lip Kiss to Someone Like Future Wife/Gf. But I Didn't Watch Porn,Fap And Ejaculate. This Thing is Okay? Or I Need To Stop? Or I Need to Reset My Streak? (Sorry For My Bad English)

I have been watching porn since I was a kid. I am now realizing many of my problems throughout my life with regards to lack of confidence, low self esteem, trouble being in social situations... all have been worsened by my porn addiction. I would watch porn for hours and hours and hours at a...

Hello. Im no stranger to nofap and abstaining from P. I've been doing it for a year now, since i were introduced to it. But i am not mean that my streak is a year long. My longest streak was like 40+ days. I relapsed just now. Only one day since last one. I feel disgusted by myself. I feel...

I want to start off by saying my relationship with porn is the issue I don't ideally want to ever watch porn for sexual release. This thread will be me posting daily uploads of my thoughts. I don't think nofap is a cure but it will bring me closer to taking risks around making connections with...

So been going to a Mental Health group called Andy's Man Club & feel it has been helping me out a lot talking to people & meeting up with some of the members outside from the group to just hang out with I feel has helped my mental health. Though the problem I still have is my porn addiction &...

Today, i had a pretty much bad day at school, first some bullies, then some teacher of mine. Anyway. I had after-hours a revelation and wanted to start doing calisthenics and nofap, for long as i can. Now here it comes the hard part. I am pretty addicted to porn. When i was 13 i started fapping...

It's been about a year and a half since I last posted and a lot has happened, not for the better. First, I had a mental health episode that lead to me losing my job. After yet another defeat from PMO I found myself wanting to eat my feelings so I drove off into the night to get some greasy fast...

I need to find out what's going on my mind, This Month is to get over. I lasted only 6 days, I find it ridiculously difficult to be clean a whole year. I'll have to look for a new ways to overcome this, a least one month without watching and thinking about butts and pussies.

By no means am I perfect. I haven't fully quit yet. But I want you to know laddy that it will get better. You may be in some deep shit. Deep down the rabbithole in some shitshow dressed up as wonderland. Pick your poison. Interracial. Humiliation. Gay. Sissy. Beastiality. Rape. Bondage...

New to the site. I've tried stopping masterbating several times and always fail eventually. I hate it because it wastes my time and ultimately always seems to coincide with bad things happening like it's giving me bad juju. Hoping maybe a community will help me get further than my previous...

Hey, so my name is Felipe, and It's almost two years since I started NoFap. Not gonna lie; I remember the day it all started. It was amazing, and my life finally contained a purpose to fight myself that I had to accomplish no matters what. I had this fire inside me who wanted to destroy and give...

Hello!:) I’ve never really joined a forum before, I’m not quite sure how this works. I stumbled upon this site as I was looking online for any way to find an accountability partner via the Internet. Hopefully I can learn to navigate this word of forums and find help through support of others...

Porn/Sex addiction is a taboo to talk about, but it is more common than we think. These days a lot of people struggle about it, but not so many people are open about this, because of shame. I have struggled with sex addiction (porn, prostitutes, swingerclubs, sexparties) and always felt a shame...

Hi. Im 22 and addict since 12. I have been trying to quit for last ten months but failed. Do you have any idea or information about at least online meetings with real people to talk because I have tried everything I know and I don't know what to do.

Hey, I was on a 2 month free porn streak until yesterday night due to alcohol. I was drinking and playing ps4 with some friends when I started to feel very dizzy, suddenly I got triggered by some Tik toks from very hot women (can’t have that app, already deleted it) and just unblocked all porn...

Hello everybody. For about 2 weeks I've been on the monk mode and I'm 1 year P free. Currently, I have an urge that just doesn't want to pass. It's enough for me to sit or lay down to automatically become aroused and I'm generally only thinking about it since yesterday. The night is the worst...

It took a long time for me to finally join the nofap forum. I'm a 23 yo from student from germany. (male) I started with pmo at the age of 11. Since then i was never able to stop for longer then 2 weeks. At this age i never though that pmo could be a problem. But as it turns out, it was the...

I have been doing NoFap for a while with the goal of cutting porn completely from my life. But one of the most difficult challenges for me are when I get a boner. I genuinely don’t know how to ignore boners because the moment I get one I have the roughest time getting my brain off of wanting...

As a disclaimer, I know every country has different regulations regarding porn, so my suggestion on the title won't be that simple. My only intention is to tell the benefits of living in a country where porn is illegal. I have a friend who lives in Indonesia. This country is notorious for being...

Male 52 years old My first experience with PMO was when I was about 10 years old. I went to stay with a family (for about two weeks) while my parents traveled overseas. I knew the family, not well, but well enough. What an eye opener that was! They lived on a farm, I lived in the city. They...

I don't know much about flatlineing but I'm going to assume it's what I feel right now. Feeling like anything and everything in your life is not interesting, feeling like all your energy is drained and you're just a husk, in the meantime your brain just wants to go back to porn or at the very...

I never saw myself resorting to an open forum for porn addiction. I’m 26 years old and have been attempting NoFap for about 2 years at this point. I’ve Never been a compulsive fapper but a steady 1-2 times a day fapper...since I was 14 years old. I feel the symptoms of anxiety and...

Hi guys, I've been on here for a long while and I still can't manage to go pass two weeks before wandering back to PMO. I've tried to control my urges so many times, I almost asked myself why I even try. But then I remember that nofap helps me become sharper and more energy-filled cuz I'm not...

Hi Guys, I'm relatively new around here I didn't post an intro but thought I should in order to be more involved with the forum. You can find my journal/log following the link below the more people responding and giving constructive criticism r even words of encouragement honestly would mean...

Hey my dudes, fellow fapstronauts! I wish you a great day and a great progress in Nofap. Today is a very historical day for me, since i've hit 365 days of porn abstention.. for the third time. I'm going to tell you guys about what things i've gone through and what things that are still here with...

Hey, I'm currently on my Seventh day of NoFap and I'm going strong, but I've come to realise how boring my life feels without it. Right now, I'm doing coursework for University retakes in August and don't have time for much else. However, even if I did, I struggle with social situations and...

It's my final exam two days later and I have relapsed twice now. I have been seriously fighting/struggling with these addictions for the whole of my 37 days of exam leaves. I haven't studied. And I am sure to flunk again due to this evil. I've learned this time that I am pretty sure this...

I am struggling to give up porn and generally playing with myself. It is very disturbing the amount of time that I spend thinking about it, and I really want to get this under control and stop wasting my life away. It is deeply affecting my life and my marriage at this point! Help please!

Today is my birthday! and wow, I'm shagging away my life on this day also. I need help. I turned 23 today. I got dreams of travelling the world, climbing the Mt.Everest and even sailing across the pacific. porn and masturbation has made me hate myself, I wake up with regret and sleep with guilt...

I was introduced to porn at the young age of 12 and from that point on became something that I sought after on a regular basis. At the age of 23 I was set free and did not look at porn or masturbate for 3 years, in fact I was completely abstinent from sex altogether. At 26 I was married and...

"A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce...

I can push myself to 2 weeks straight of nofap with proper food and exercise and when I go further, there are some memories from the porn I've watched that is disturbing me, so the struggle is even harder and I can't get rid of those negative sexual thoughts and eventually there is no other way...

Hello everyone, I just managed 16 days after learning about nofap and reading some info about it. Honestly during that time of no porn, masturbation or orgasm I noticed dramatic changes that I never expected for example: - Morning erections (not seen since puberty) - Increased concentration...

Seriously, I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me.I can’t even pass day 1 since the relapse.It’s scary to see how I went from a motherfucking SAVAGE to a pussy-ass/broke-ass/chump-ass beta bitch.Need some hard-core/slap in the face kinda motivation to fuel me! Be HARSH, I don’t care, that’s...

Preface Here I am laying down in a couch, wandering between the realms of consciousness shattered around in hyperspace by some crazy substance. It’s clear to me now, I can feel it in my entire body and soul, as if I needed this blast out of the canon again to tell me it’s over. It’s been a long...

I’m not kiddin’ guys.I relapsed 4 days ago after a 229 motherfucking days streak and now I’m struggling just to get back on that horse again.No matter how far you are on NoFap, no matter how well you think you’ve mastered this, if you relapse, you’re back in Hell my friend.You’re back in Hell...

When I was a teenager I knew that masturbating was not a good thing. I mean it does show I'm growing up healthy by having these desires, but watching pornography and touching myself I don't know I put a lot of guilt on my shoulders. I became very sexually frustrated and curious. When I turned 19...

It's been 7 days that I was PMO' ing but suddenly the new year was near and I started on 27th December 2018. I read posts about 90 days benefits and took the decision to try. First 3 days :- They were easy like butter 5th day :- I felt a urge to watch porn and a very sensetive erection...

Hello everyone, Name's Francis, and I recently had several things happen in my life that made me rethink my spiraling situation. For the past four years, I've wasted my school days away being introverted and shy, and never really got anywhere with girls. Now at a recent age of 24, I realized...

I only joined nofap last week and have so far gone a week without P. My goal originally was to no P for November. I knew this would be tough as I can't remember the last time I went more than a week without it. However, after reading about other posters problems and experiences, many similar to...

Hi guys, im really struggling at the moment. Earlier this year I started nofap as fapping was making me depressed. At this time i was working full time and had a set routine and was near my girlfriend. I managed to do a 100 day streak. Now im at university, living away from home and away from...

Hello everyone! I'm an SO - I've been reading NoFap for a year. Whilst on my journey of discovery I've gathered some 'considerations' for PAs. I'm hoping I can help other PAs by gathering information for their consideration - starting with the basics, more threads to follow. Please feel...

Hi, I am hereforthefun. I would like to read positive stories about your healing progression during this long and arduous battle that we are all fighting. Like many of you, I found out too late that I am addictive to a dangerous sexual habit. The excessive use of pornography to reach orgasm and...

Hello, I'm completely new to this idea and community. I'm a 23 yo married college student. I've struggled with PM since my mid teens. I experienced what was similar to "monk mode" for almost two years. That was one of the best times of my life. I was learning so much about myself during that...

Hello everyone. As i write this, i am feeling quite low. Lately, i have been undergoing a surge of stress and anxiety, even anguish, because i had to make very important decisions for my life direction. Overall i felt unable to make a choice, always hesitating and worrying. I will not describe...

So far I've worked on the NoFap lifestyle for a week. I'm pretty proud of myself that I've lasted so long in a challenge like this, but now my body is "asking" to consume some porn just to have the thrill. Other than that I have been feeling great, and that is why I don't want to lose my strike...

Hi. I'm not new to this site. I've been a member for a little over a year now. I've made progress, but I don't feel like I've made as much progress as I could have. I've obviously reaped positive benefits. I remember I used to PMO 2-3 times a day if not more when I was finishing up high...

My name is Cadillac,I struggle with fap-addiction for ten years.I want finished with this problem how speedest because this destroys my life.I will try to withstand 40 days from now.I apologize for any mistakes, but English is not my native language. Wish me luck!

so after struggeling with fatuige and a cloudy head for about 1,5 years. I stumbled upon nofap yesterday night. I decided to take a last fap and start my journy right away. I am now 12 hours in and allready feeling urges to fap. Any tips? Been fapping activley since i was 8 years old btw. Now im 19

I had a really good streak (to be me) at about 40-50 days and I started to feel free and successful, but suddenly I started losing motivation in spite of benefits, until I slipped. After that I feel like I have absolutely no willpower. I go three days and slip. When it happens my minds is not...

I'm currently 17 doing Hard Mode. I relapsed, and like most other times it sucks. I go into a raw state where I am aware of every imperfection in my life. It's like someone's ripped the glasses off my face and I can see all my problems clearly. My mind frantically searching for a way to deal...

Day 0 Starting on day 0. I have decided to maintain this journal and finally really get into this fight. Please support me!

So I've been really struggling in school lately and I feel I'm kinda slow in learning. I'm new to the school system in this International School, and they don't use books but they all use laptops and maaan... they all type so fast. I just hope I can catch up. I thought this school was easy...

I am currently 19 years old 3rd-year college and I had no idea abstaining from PMO until I discovered and get motivated by a lot of youtube videos related to semen retention and it's benefits. I want to change and have decided to improve myself and unlock my full potential. On my elementary...

I'm starting to realise that the streak has very little to do with how well you recover. Fighting this addiction isn't about numbers, it's about mentally fighting that demon within and physically trying to better yourself to be stronger than the old you. I thought being halfway to my goal would...

Hello! I recently found out about NF and decided to sign up. I have been dealing with porn for around 6 years. I've never had a real relationship before even though I dont consider myself bad looking or anything. I started in my freshman year of highschool, thinking that it would just be an...

Hello everyone! :) My name is Milan,I'm 19 years all and I wish to share my story with all of you. As:English isn't my native language. :) I've been into PM ever since I was 10.I remember it like it was yesterday.One day after school I went straight to the living room to find something that my...

Today marks the my 2 week abstinence from PMO. Since i first started watching porn i have never gone past 2 weeks. While i do feel confident in my resolve, my brain, however, has other plans. Last night i had an extremely vivid dream that i relapsed. When i woke, there was a moment where i...

I am not an expert. This is just a personal opinion and the method I use that works for me. This is a call to arms. Recently I changed my user name to Porn Killer. The reason is to remind myself of the approach I am taking while fighting this addiction. As you are aware, fighting this...

Hello everyone. I am an 18 year old male and I have a problem. I started porn when I was 13 I believe, but can't recall. I started with the basic fap to the classmates(girl) picture and then moved to vanilla porn. I quickly became an addict and picked up many addictions in that time. Parents...

Hello everyone, I have been struggling with my porn addicition since puberty. I have been in treatment which was relatively successful, but I have never really been able to completely ban porn from my life. Recently I had a big relapse so I figured I should do something. I hope this will help...

Hey NoFapstronauts, I've made the decision to break my addiction of watching porn a few months ago, part in due to reading NoFap stories and reading that it could really help for addictive personalities and people with OCD to get a new grip on their life. Although I've had some success with...

Hi guys this is my first post on the forum and i'm really glad i made it here. Finally found out that there's these groups of people like me who has a lot of support on those new and who had experienced my experience that is now conquering the struggle. I'm 17 years old but i really want to be a...

I think this needed to be shared. And it also applies to all parts of life as well as NoFap.

will keep it short and concise... Tried Nofap literally a year ago as my porn addiction became so bad that I started seeing escorts, as that was the only way I could get the same rush I used to get from fetish porn I was watching. I became more depressed, my anxiety was crippling to the point...

Hi, I'm Mike Ferrari from Indonesia I'm a PMO-addict and I want to change this status as quick as possible. So. Of course. The story. When did it all started? Well, It goes back to when I was 4th grader, I was naive happy with my life. I have a lot of friends, boys girls no problem at all. I...

Dear Fapstraunots, Today I have decided to write in order to feel better, Our community dominates a wide variety of individuals all over the world. We are the symbol of diversity and variety, cooperation and evolution. Together we've marked the story of each one of us. We fought against...

30 days without PMO, Amazing. This is a real success for me, because I’ve been trying the NoFap challenge for 1 year. And I’ve never could reach the 30 days. I was a porn user since I’m 14 years old, masturbating daily until I was 20 years old. Growing with this habit is destructive in many...

Hello my name is "Marty Bryant". Or is it? Either way that is besides the point. I am 23 years old living in the good ol' sunshine state. Just graduated college and am still undecided on the career path I would like to take. Stuck between medicine and music. With the most freedom and...

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...

I'm having trouble getting motivation to not P or PMO. I haven't PMO'd in a long time, but for 95% of this streak, I've had something motivating me to not do it, most of that time being a girl. Saving myself for someone gave me a lot of motivation to not PMO or P. And I got the equivalent of...

Hi This is my third attempt at PMO. My first attempt (November/December 2016) lasted 23 days, which I was impressed by and wasn't as difficult as I expected. My second attempt (March/April 2017) lasted 30 days, which I found even more impressive and again wasn't as difficult as I expected. This...

This is day one for me on NoFap. My friend told me about it and how it helped him to stop watching porn. I struggle with a pretty bad porn addiction. It's a constant battle. I can't even look at a girl without thinking about sex or porn. It's ruining my life. I need to stop. I want to stop...

Hello everybody,i've been masturbating in excess for a bout 3 months and now i'm planning to abstrain.It's pretty difficult for me,i can control the urge for only 1-2 days and i fap again. Are there any mobile games interesting to play to keep me busy or something else ? I need some advice.

In this culture, abstaining from PMO can be a lonely thing. It has become so normalized that people who don't do it are the ones who are left out. It should be the other way around. It might just be me, but abstaining is kind of a lonely thing. At least in my case, not many people I know know...

My name is Chandler and this is my short story. It hurts me to say how long I've been fighting this monster of an "addiction." I remember sitting around the lunch table listening to all of my middle school friends talk about how many videos they had watched the night before. They'd joke about...

Admit it, not watching Porn is Hell, but you're going about it the wrong way. Think about this analogy whenever you feel: like you're just barely hanging on, tempted after lasting so long, or you just no longer see the point of the journey you began long ago. The path to recovery is trudging...

Hey Guys, let me start off by saying that i see myself as a REALLY messed up dude, who've been going through life without any drive, now dont get me wrong, i know what i want, like seriously detailed stuff, BUT (there is always the "but") masturbation and porn addiction has taken it's toll on me...

Hi, NoFap I'm 21, male and just like you I struggle with a certain addiction. I have tried to quit porn and masturbation many times before. And failed miserably. I hope this time will be different. Why? I'd say I'm a natural loner and I don't need much company. Also I had barely any support...
