I know some—or many—of you call watching porn a compulsive behavior. I honestly don’t know the difference between that and addiction, but if addiction means something powerful, serious, and hard to stop—then yes, porn is definitely an addiction for me. Like most of you, I’ve been watching porn...

Warning this post has triggering content ( if this is in the wrong forum I apologise, I couldn’t decide what one to post it in, I just really needed to confess this to others) Hi, my name is Jake and I am 18, I am writing this post to confess and for any advice people may have, I apologise for...

Hello there, I've been follwing nofap for some time though never really seriously. But I think it could be of major importance since semen has the possibility to create life. In the beginning I sadly did fall for the "masturbation is healthy" trap. My question is how do you use the forum? I...

Scrolled on Instagram. I'm very interested in fitness and there's a fitness influencer who I quite admire for what she does. But I never thought she would do OnlyFans. Since it was in her comments, I went on Reddit and typed in her name and saw a video of her … I wasn't entirely sure if it was...

Dear NoFap Community, I have been struggling with porn addiction for so long. Despite numerous attempts at NoFap, my longest streak was about a month. It's a cycle that's been slowly eating away at me from the inside, leaving me feeling powerless and alone. I used to believe that I could...

It was difficult to stay sober for 30+ days until I found this method :emoji_fire:. This method is so powerful to me :emoji_muscle: because it helps me to cope when hard times come :emoji_head_bandage:. I also find this fun to do :emoji_laughing: and therefore, it isn't hard to do it over and...

Hello, I don't really know how to present myself so i'm going to get directly to the point. Yes,I am a porn addict, I started watching porn around I was like 14 years old and I am still struggling with this addiction. I wanted to talk more about my story but it seems more important to me to...

Our movement is bigger than you think, having a whole generation's sexuality altered is bigger than you think, self inflicted mass castration is bigger than you think, you will be fine, you will live but barely, you will strip yourself of every single beautiful thing that makes you a man, your...

Hi fellow fapstronauts ! I hope you all are doing great! I have been an addict for 9 years and my life is getting degraded with time. I got to know about this recovery community through an article and an awesome guy whose name was J.K Emzi. I joined the NoFAP subreddit a few days back. I...

Hello everyone! I've been addicted to PMO since I was only 8 years old. It has been engraved in me for years and now that I'm a full grown man I feel that I am unable to even think properly. I have a full time job and am going to be a new Dad, but with that this addiction has still taking me...

Hello, I am new to the group and the movement. I’m here because I’m tired of hiding from my wife the fact that I watch porn and masturbate. Additionally, the thought of sneaking off in the future when we have kids to masturbate or watch porn strikes me as embarrassing and pathetic, but a...

I have never really committed to growing out a beard since I am only 18 years old and I do not have hair growing on every part of my face, but I was told that you have to endure an "awkward stage" in order to actually grow it. It has been maybe two weeks since I have shaved, and I have a...

My self-improvement journey has taken a bit of a set-back this year, so I wanted to post a thread discussing where I've lost myself and what I've been able to fix. Problems: - Porn Addiction - Bad performance - Gaining weight - Bad mental health - Poor hygiene - Lack of motivation - Falling...

I have been experiencing something off and on that I can't really explain. I think it has something to do with possible depression, anxiety, or just some sort of internal hate for my job. I work in a warehouse and as a delivery driver, and I frequently disassociate while driving. This sometimes...

I recently experienced my first reset after a four-day streak and experienced my second reset after another four-day streak. Now that I am on my third attempt, I want to gather some information and opinions from other users concerning their first experiences with rebooting through NoFap. If you...

Hello, everyone! I'm glad to be joining this community. You can call me Sondae. A few things about me: Before anything, I'm a human. I make mistakes. I give into my vices. I'm here to improve myself for my own sake and for the sake of the women in my life. I'm also an early college student...

yea, it has really fucked up my mind. i was watching some dr phil thing and the videos are about some kid that is a pedophile. i dont wanna be that kid. i never wanted to be. i want to quit porn. im trying so hard to quit. im horrified of the person that ive become because of my addiction...

today i was watching some stuff because i was bored and i read something in the comments that said something about necrophilia. even though i probably dont have that, it stuck with me and now i feel very sad. it reminded me of the person i am right now. a mentally fucked up individual. porn...

So, after a Long Streak of 24 DAYS I Failed today on 31 May 2021. Actually I am in my Village now & my Family Members (almost all) went out for a trip. But I had some important work in the Afternoon so I decided to stay at home. Then while doing my work at 2:15 pm I got Very Strong Urges to...

Cannot do this alone . The battle is inside me so I need someone from outside for guidance and support. Anyone from UK , is a male , is straight can be my accountability partner . I'm 24 years old . Fighting this battle from the age of 13 years . I don't have a gf . Never had a gf . And the...

So yesterday I made it a goal to stop once and for all. I can’t let things like this stop me from recovering. I can to conclusions that things happen and I can’t let that stop my reboot. But earlier today, I started to feel better after starting my reboot. I was on a random thing online...

This is my personal journal attempt, which I shall make public so others can hopefully help me, or listen into my thoughts. The first step to quitting is acknowledging it. Since I have had a hard time quitting porn in my head, I shall make it public, the journal where in a sense, it's no longer...

Hey everyone Twinned with trying my reboot, I want to fix both my Diet and my body (mainly gaining muscle) I’ve lost 3 stone (roughly 20kgs) but I’m stuck and been stuck for a few months now. Any suggestions on how to get better at the gym? I’m struggling to find the motivation to both go...

About a month ago, a few days before Christmas, I edged. For hours. it was terrible. But it happened and i got blue balls. It was bad pain. I then stopped edging and finished in the morning when the pain stopped. no pain was present anymore. But a few days later into my new streak, I felt a...

I have addicted to porn and masturbation addiction since 2009, (almost 12 Years).From last 6 years I am just trying to get out of this habit. But I couldn't do it more than 4/5 days. My life was very beautiful. I was strong and healthy boy in my teen age( today I am 25), But from last...

So almost a few weeks ago, one week before Christmas, I edged like crazy, I felt intense blue balls. It went away after, but for about a week or so after I edged, I had a tenderness in my left nut. Thankfully, so greatful, it went away. But literally for a week I avoided running, jumping, etc...

so everytime before this streak. I would be having a streak going, and i would relapse 10 days later because i thought i already relapsed by looking at an image, or watching a tv show with girls in it for too long. Its stupid, but that was the problem. I realized that to get over this, i just...

A letter to my fellow people, 2022 is here - what a quick year Will this be the year of our recovery? Maybe, maybe not, it all depends. Discomfort is inevitable regardless of addiction Our desire must shift, value must be seen Relationship status to discomfort is key I wish you all the best, as...

I was doing something for school work, they wanted me to take a test where I try to identify peoples emotions based on their facial expressions. being on nofap I get aroused easily. I saw pictures of girls faces. I got aroused and got a boner. But I had to because of school work, I kept...

Hey all! I’ve been going strong for a few weeks almost now. I have wound up looking at porn and touching a little. I did not O so I’m still counting this as a win! I’m looking for some support and have found some yoga today to help me calm my mind. Just dealing with some strong porn demons...

I relapsed yesterday, there’s something called camsites, it’s where you can basically tell the girl what to do and control everything and flirt. it sucks, I’ve been on nofap for a while and when I relapse on just pmo, my brain feels the usual sluggish depressed anxious way that comes with...

Greeting to all faptronaut, I am sorry if this question is inappropriate or not following the rules. I have discovered a Nofap community for a short while and I am really interested to join and improve myself. I really do. However, I work as an erotic novel writer. So, does this mean that I...

All, I am early in my reboot journey, like end of week 3. I am so stuck in shame and disgust that I am having trouble moving towards anything else. Working out more has helped alleviate these feelings some, but its always temporary. My anxiety levels have been high following stopping, and feel...

Two days ago, I made a post on my Facebook expressing my gratitude for how far I've come in life, and the many good things that have come my way in the past two months. In said post, I mentioned that I've been getting sober, and various friends and family members came with messages of support...

For some reason whenever I’m on vacation or just at a hotel. I have streaks that last up to 10-12 days. After a while I am more alone so I fall back into my steps of resetting and relapsing. Yesterday I was upset and angry at something and I used it as an excuse to use cam and just watch. I’m...

Hi everyone, First of all, I just wanted to express my gratitude for everyone that is on this forum. Without you, I would not be able to share my experiences with porn, and the negative effects it had on my life. Hopefully, in time, I will be able to look back and say that along with other...

Not a long read at all, just read all of it for understanding. Today, I relapsed sadly. I did it multiple times. My cold got a lot worse throughout the day and I feel bad. I was going to relapse later and then start my streak. I’ve been watching movies (not necessarily looking for women) but...

Hey all, my partner and I just finished the 90 days of the reboot... he still doesn't feel healed yet though. I suffered extremely from the circumstances. I felt undesired, unwanted, unsexy, unseen... my self-confidence went in the cellar and I really don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I...

Hi, as i said on the title of this thread i want to reset my instagram feed. Is there a way? I need instagram because i follow a lot of motivational accounts, finance, workouts... but my feed (the main page with suggested pics and videos) always shows me pics and videos with girls because time...

Hey guys, I have this ocd you can call it, where I stress about having a good start of streak. Making sure that I don’t think about anything sexual at all or rub my pants any certain type of way in the beginning. last night , I last fapped, I reset the counter, but I had this ocd like my streak...

So to put it short, I made another thread earlier because.. I “intentionally” watched p in my dream. it was a lucid dream, I was sort of aware it was a dream, and could control it. Is what it means I knew I had to stay away from p, but I wasn’t exactly remembering why I had to in the dream...

Is it a relapse if you choose to watch p in a lucid dream? for those who may not know, a lucid dream is where you are aware of what is going on and can control the dream. at first, I was dreaming, I was choosing not to get aroused but then in the dream in which I was aware I ended up saying f...

I just got off a bad pmo binge. I’ve been having irrational ocd/anxiety. that same anxiety is the reason why the binge went on for so long in the first place. like I’ll relapse at first, then I do it again, and then after a few times the anxiety gets worse and worse so I feel worse, therefore...

I don’t mean to make a reassurance post. Or to “cry” for help. I would appreciate help if your willing. I just need advice. I know that the answers I’m looking for are obvious. But here is a quick summary of what is going on. I’ve been binging unhealthy for days. I need to stop. I want to...

I was just waking up out of a sleep. I was about to have a wet dream or something. I was really horny for some reason i felt my dick on sliding in my pants and I started to get aroused from it. I honestly can’t remember if it was on purpose. I was sooo aroused. Does this count as...

Hello dear people I'm happy to announce that me and couple other brothers decided to start making podcasts on the subject of recovery from porn addiction and related subjects. Our first podcast: Our second (today's) podcast: I hope these continues podcasts will be able to help many...

Anxiety, brain fog literally to the point where I have trouble reading sentences, head pressure, slight malaise. I have a trip coming up, I’m going to be gone for a week. I just don’t want to feel anxious while I’m down there on my trip. What do you guys think about this?

The other night, I ended a 3 day fapping binge. During the binge, I got extreme brain fog so bad I couldn’t think straight. now, day 2 I feel anxiety and brain fog come in waves still. I’m not sure why but could this be my brain adjusting? I can barely think straight and I don’t feel much...

A lot of people on this forum talk about how you should be getting a gf and someone real to spend time with and have a healthy sexual life with. ive been thinking of asking for numbers my question is, how do you do so without getting aroused? like, I will likely get a boner if I ask a girl...

The past 5 days, I’ve been struggling and been attempting to get back on the horse. I have ocd, so that really messes with me. Puts intrusive thought in my head during relapse, then I feel the need to do it again. I don’t want to keep fapping obviously and I’ve been sooo ready to get on my...

As of today, I am back on square one. Broke my 10-day streak last night. I know, 10 days is nothing to brag about. But this particular streak is different. This particular exist is able to exist thanks to all of these external forces coming together within the same time period to provide me with...

It can be very hard to talk to people about certain things and sometimes we all just need to vent and get everything off our shoulders. This thread is for that exact purpose - not for advice, just for people to unload the trash that's weighing them down, to help us put things into words, to...

Okay, well I am completely new here, but not new to this porn addiction "OBSESSION" I am sure so many of you have experienced. Once I learnt my partner had an ADDICTION I have been OBSESSIVELY watching youtube videos, reading articles, visiting sites with porn addiction info- and now finally at...

So as seeing some people here are anime fans here and I wanted to ask how one can support the anime/manga industry or more the manga author creating the Manga I like, but not spending money on too much merchandise from Japan, as I lack the space where I live at the moment. Would any one know...

The purpose of this challenge is to foster positivity, personal development, camaraderie (virtual or in person), and mutual encouragement. All are welcome! The one and only expectation is to post what your goal is for this month of February - whether it is to learn a new language, share a kind...

Hi guys i’m starting over. I struggled with pied all of 2020 and realized I am an addict about halfway through. My ultimate goals is to make this a lifestyle and cure my pied and also improve mental health. I actually reached a 45 day streak about a month or so ago but then relapsed because...

I'm wishing all of us here a New Year with the knowledge that we took the biggest step in our journey by admitting we had a issue with porn or masturbation and we have decided to do something about it. I pray that you find the courage and the strength and the accountability to have success...

Okay, This is my first day in NoFap. I have hesitated everyday to join this forum because it felt really weird back then. I didn't want myself to be seen as an addict. But years later, When i looked back. All i can see is an addict who could have pull himself together but did not. I could have...

Hi everyone, new joiner to FAP. See my story below, not sure whether it gets read but its been cathartic to write. Keen for insights on: 1) how can you handle FAP / sex worker addiction while living in a major city and being constantly connected to the internet. Has anyone just gone cold...

I was feeling good for a while and it felt great and all, but now all of the bs I have ignored came back and kicked me in the nuts all at once, and I'm feeling really REALLY bad and I need your support guys I'm actually feeling devastated. I cant stop watching porn for more than 3 days now, I...

Hello! Waya here, just wanted to post some things I have found helpful and maybe in turn others will also find helpful :~)

I am thinking about making one, specially because I also am very lonely 55. If you are interested message in the post or pm

Hey mates, how you all keeping up with Nofap and rebooting process? I would love to hear from you all about your achievements even if it's just the starting days. So, I am posting this thread for a several reasons and one of them is "URGES!" . YES, since two- three days I am facing a lot urges...

I just started my nofap streak and I’m determined to quit this time. I’m not aroused because it’s my first day or 2 into the streak. But I still had this concern. earlier, I had ocd intrusive thoughts about erotic content. Basically, I kept thinking about it (not out of arousal) but because of...

I started my streak yesterday and I’ve been doing good since. Almost at 24 hours. but this ocd that kept me binging before the streak started is bothering me. like I’ll have thoughts like “I have to do it to reset the streak and keep it a clean perfect streak” because of thoughts I had during...

I am really afraid that what I did was relapse behavior. So about 7-8 minutes ago I had this HUGE urge that caused me to get a boner. I was contemplating relapse and sexual fantasy was flooding my head. I didn’t want to relapse, but at the same time I did. The urge to just grab my duck and give...

Today I had a really weird dream and it ended in me making out and having sex with a real life girl. She was into me, and I was into her and I figured I could start making out with her and take to to the next level. It happened in the dream and it was very real. I came instantly. I just came a...

Hello everyone, I’m new here and about to embark on a 90 day hard mode reset. I’m interested in any advice and information you may have to share with someone like myself. Never quit for more than 14 days in the past six years. Enough is enough. I’ve tried to quit many times and failed. I’m...

As you can tell from the title, I’ve been experiencing a medical problem, which I suspect was caused from intense overmasturbation. This isn’t too too long but it’s got some length, so bare with me. About 20 days ago on March 2nd, I relapsed felt “normal”throughout the day (normal as in I felt...

is it safe to show addicted me vs non addicted me pictures on this forum? I think it will open eyes to fap addiction and will further educate and really help people understand the detrimental effects of fap addiction on a person. The results are absolutely shocking. Let me know and I’ll...

My question is, can excessive pmo or edging (if you do it enough in let’s say a few days) cause any health problems with the nervous system or can it “burn out” the dopamine reward system? I’ve had multiple intense ocd fap binges in the past few months (like 20-30 time binges within a week...

(Please read all for understanding) Today I had intrusive fantasies. I wasn’t horny or anything, I just couldn’t shake the unwanted fantasies because I really didn’t want to have them. During them, I had this other intrusive thought. I was on youtube and I was scrolling through the comments...

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...

Today I was just looking up a YouTube channel (non explicitly) and I unexpectedly came across a picture of woman’s lips with drool coming down and I of course left immediately but within the 1 second I saw it I fantasized and got aroused from it. Is that a relapse? I did not watch porn or...

I feel super super sensitive right now and thinking about a real life girl is giving me powerful urges. Any tips? and also I feel like whenever I move around I’m getting pleasure from the sensitivity. Is that a relapse? I did not watch porn or masturbate whatsoever.

I was on the bus today and I was surrounded by attractive girls, I was turned on and horny. I got a slight erection and while trying to get it to go down the bus hit a bump and my boner was getting pushed up against my pants in an unusual position. I did not want any of this to happen. But it...

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...

Hi! I have been following these forums so long but never really wrote anything before this. Well, good news are that I have managed to get good start for my recovery. There haven't really been urges… well, one just 20 minutes ago in the shower. But not otherwise. I have tried consciously keep...

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...

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...

To start off, this is day 1. Last night after relapse, I was adjusting myself and my dick kind of slid across my pants causing a pleasure sensation. My ocd made me focus on the last bit of it as if I wanted it to happen. I did not Pmo or anything. Do you think that this ruined my streak since I...

I first saw sexual content at the age of 11 years and I started to see porn videos and then masturbated at the age of 13 years and this really disturbed my social life, I felt like trash and useless, many times I tried to get away from this addiction but this even got worse until it took me...

I started my streak again and I find that I’m always paranoid about what is a relapse. Just now, whenever I walk I start to feel pleasure from my junk hitting the sides of my legs/underwear. or when it happens when I know I have to get up or walk and am expecting it, even if pleasure is...

Hi all! Don't know even from where I should start. Okey. Small introduction: 25 years old, tried to get rid of PMO, had some success but still working on it. Recently I found out that I'm quite porn addictive person and it DOES influence my life. I even suspect that it has been breaking me...

I was just scrolling through my phone and like 4 minutes ago I came crossed a picture of a face. I’m not gay at all. But it was a mans. The face Oddly reminded me a little of a pornstar idk why. It’s weird. Can’t explain it. But I was thinking “wait, no. This is just a mans face it can’t arouse...

This may come off as odd. But I’m currently on day 1 after a series of relapsed yesterday, and something has been bothering me for the past month or two now. Maybe it’s anxiety because my recent streaks weren’t the longest ever since then, but I have this obsession. I’m so afraid to relapse...

Does this count as a relapse? I remember on my first long streak I would watch movies all the time and not get horny, and if I did, I would just not focus on it and move on with my life. I feel like my sensitivity may have made me horny, but did I just relapse? I REALLY wanted to watch the...

I’ve been feeling great lately! It’s only day 3 but I’m starting to finally get over the chaser effect and other things. I always stress out about what could be considered a relapse. Honestly, I don’t even know how to answer this. I was just sitting on my bed 3 minutes ago, and I got up and my...

Hi guys, Im 24 year old from Spain. I wanted to say hello to all the community of nofap, and also I wanted to tell my story on porn addiction. I started watching porn when I was 12 or 13, and at the beginning it just started because of curiosity I would say. I never was really invested or...

This might be counter-intuitive but in order to keep yourself on track, learn from the mistakes of others as they say, especially when you're in that flatline or whatnot and nobody is encouraging you, you may try that to keep going. Now I wonder in the Watch Forum feature if choosing "New...

Today I was watching YouTube innocently and I came across a thumbnail that may be triggering. A clothed girl and you could see her legs. I then do this thing where I try not to look but I select ‘Not interested’ in other YouTube videos. I feel fine, not much of a dopamine rush came of it. But I...

I was just watching a movie. I saw someone open the door and I saw a pretty woman’s face. I got aroused and I looked for a few more seconds then looked away. She was clothed and I almost started looking at her body but didn’t. I thought of looking again as it turned me on a lot but I didn’t want...

Today at about 4 pm, I was looking up destinations around the us that are fun to visit as innocent and non explicit as it gets basically. I came across Lake Tahoe and I was interested in finding out where it was. I went to the page about Lake Tahoe on google and I saw what I thought was a man in...
