temptation

***Some may be trigger warnings**** I was first married for 15 years. Granted, that started in our 20's. My addiction always wanted her to do more....more....she got implants. Then, I wanted her to get bigger ones. She did that and I wanted her to dress seductive...more showing...more...

What do you do when you really want to look at porn? About 60% of the time I have no interest in looking at porn. During these times I'm so focused on doing important stuff that the thought of looking at porn doesn't cross my mind. But there are other moments when I really want to look at it...

The most tempting periods are when you have access to technology, are on social media, and are in a warm/comfortable place. I've found if I move my phone out of my bedroom, only use my laptop in the living room, and avoid hot places during the day I do better. When I feel like fapping I either...

Today was damn hard. It was my 3rd day off. I went to bed yesterday weary from the day's temptations but motivated because of some content I found online. Woke up ready to take on all I had to do today. Went to the dentist, ran the dog, did hw, cooked for 3 hours, went to the store, did the...

Current streak: -like 1000 + days no PMO. -200 days SR I had to ejaculate(medical reasons) because I had a vasectomy otherwise it'll be 1000 + days SR How to never have urges? The answer is: that is not the point. It's like asking how to lift weights and not feeling sore. Many here base...

So when I decide not to masturbate, I am usually fine for a few days, but soon at around five days or so, EVERYTHING seems to get affected. For context I am a 17 highschool student and I have masturbating since the summer that I was 14 (accidental discovery haha). I want to stop doing it, but...

Hello dear reader, I am struggling with PMO for many man years. I am on nofap.com since Sep 2015 and my highest streak were 50 days of PMO. I accomplished these 50 days just because I locked up my mobile and my laptop in the library. Very time I had to use my phone or the Internet, I went to...

I was working on my computer tonight researching on medical and mental health forums for psychology. My brain is still getting used to the massive reset, so it's craving a dopamine rush and seeking a reward after all my hard work journaling. Out of no where, the strongest urge to go on a former...

Hi folks. For those who are unacquainted, I am on a journey of removing masturbation as a mechanism of coping with loneliness and self-pity. I wish to document an experience I witnessed today. Let's begin. Prior to writing, I was in the process of preparing for bed. While brushing my teeth, I...

As fire testeth iron, so doth temptation the upright man. Oftentimes we know not what strength we have; but temptation revealeth to us what we are. Nevertheless, we must watch, especially in the beginnings of temptation; for then is the foe the more easily mastered, when he is not suffered to...

I'm new to this forum and I haven't messed with account details like setting up a counter, but I am at 153 days. For the past couple weeks though, I have been hanging by a thread. Every single day I am extremely tempted. It feels like only a matter of time before I fold and I have some extremely...

More than 40 days past since I stopped watching porn and I did not edge for more than three months. I got married in May, but currently my wife is abroad and I haven't seen her for two months now. I must find a new job before she can rejoin me. So here I am, mostly alone the whole day...

Let me explain about current plans I`m undergoing, to eliminate (SIGNIFICANT EFFECT) of instant gratification.. so couple of months back I`ve decided to initiate Bootcamp to make me more efficient and productive.. I`ve noticed due to strong influence under multiple sources of INSTANT...

The only reason I always fail is because of the sudden pictures on the internet. My recent example (long story short): Anime non-nude images of girls with short skirts got me triggered, so I just scrolled down getting more and more exposed images, until I've got to pretty much nudes. My...

Halo guys, this is my 68 NoFap Journey. It's been ups and down, but I can feel that I'm getting better and has felt some of it's benefits. But what I want to ask is about triggers. You know triggers are almost everywhere. On TV, youtube, web ads, movie scene etc.. Sometimes I see one and...

For those of you in a relationship does having sex with your SO stop from relapsing? Is there anyone who's had sex with their SO and then looked at porn soon after? For SO how would you feel if your partner was having sex with you only because they were tempted to look at porn?

I'm only 4-5 days in now. my urges are stronger this time around. I'm really tempted to watch some P and M. but have no way to watch it. my brain is just making thinking of things to get me to relapse. i really don't want to fail again. all day I've been telling myself that my flesh is just...

hey guys! Just checking in! I’m still very new so I’m unsure where to post stuff! It’s been 15 days since I started nofap and I’m definitely seeing some positive changes but constant boredom and loneliness keep urging me to want to look up porn. I’m also finding out things about myself...

It's day 7 and I'm losing it. Yesterday and today I had two close calls, but I don't know how much longer I can withhold. I'm faltering because I keep giving myself the freedom to search risque subject matter on Google. It's like for two days I've been teasing myself, but I keep stopping right...

Title says it all. I've been feeling for the last two days like I've been absolutely lonely. Not to mention the temptation to relapse that comes along with it. It feels as if I took a shot of espresso on the days of flatlining. Not to sound depressing but that's how it honestly felt on Day 1...

(Possible trigger warning) First off, I’m not gay, but through porn escalation I had gotten hook on sissy porn (not being a sissy, being with one). Secondly, SCREW MY SUBCONSCIOUS BRAIN. While awake I can keep my mind occupied. But while I sleep it runs loose. The past few nights I’ve been...

Hi everybody Please help me. After hard mode rebooting for four months, I am now facing strong urges. I recently bought TV and cable and I started watching movies, series, etc. The problem is now girls in skirts as shown in TV are also causing erection (in my place, seeing girls in short skirts...

Hello Everyone, Before i start my thread this is a brief about me: -25 years old -no job -no girlfriend (still virgin) -no friends either -no morning wood (i don't remember since when but it is maybe over a 2 years) -healthy body -foggy brain -social anxiety -depression -no goals in life -guilty...

Hi. This will be the first confession I have ever made concerning my addiction of 5+ years. I have tried to quit many times before. Sometimes, I succeeded at escaping temptation for a while, but like a dog to its vomit, I would return. Now, my porn and masterbation addiction threatens all my...

Man I have NEVER experienced the amount of temptations that I have experienced in the past 48 hours. My brain has been constantly trying to get me to watch one last porn video (which was supposed to be like a long time ago). But the other part of my brain just kept saying no. At times it got...

So lately of course ive been noticing im having way more detailed dreams and dreams i can temember; ive read hefore that when rebooting you start to dream better... anyways my main concern is: i had a VERY graphic dream last night involving porn i used to watch and idk how but i came up with...

I just recently joined this community but I've been abstaining myself from masturbation for about 2 weeks (Day 13 specifically). I'm currently in 12th grade. The burdens are heavy on acadamics. Im also an introvert too and only have a few friends. There is also this one girl in my class that im...

Idk where i read that phrase before, the “chaser effect”. i believe thats what its called when the temptation “chases you” the days after the initial relapse. Does anybody know an effective way to overcome that? i feel insanely vulnerable to any provocative thing like a photo, and situation im...

Hi guys, I’m early and only day 2 but I just want some advice as I have tried this in the past and failed. I’ve been 10 days porn free and no urges currently to watch a video which is good. I used to masturbate every morning and I woke up today subconsciously playing with myself! Then it was...

Is it normal to get a plenty of boners in a day on nofap ??

Just dropped my girlfriend off at the airport and now getting ready to face 2 weeks of basically being alone (we currently live w/ her mother but its set up like a 2-family so I could probably go 2 weeks staying upstairs w/o seeing her much). 33 yrs. old and in a relationship for 7 years after...

Hi all, I wanted to share my experience after 21 days mainly for two reasons: 1. I want to connect and stay in touch with this community 2. I want to help others going through the same journey Background: I am 30 and married .But I am travelling to another country for business reasons.This is...

I just came close to relapsing. I had a super bad urge to just watch porn and masterbate. I came on here and used the panic button. I almost convinced myself to just masterbate anyway and start over on Sunday since it's the beginning of the week. I am personally a religious guy and I identify as...

what is the difference between erotic movies and P? it's all the same?

Just need to vent on here and acknowledge for myself and others how much I'm fighting the urge to view porn right now. After a month of no PMO and a relapse last week, life has been good for the most part and I'm at my most productive. But despite all the hard work and the improved habits, the...

Have you ever been triggered and felt a strong urge to watch porn or masturbate? While ignoring (suppressing) an urge may temporarily put it under control, it will eventually come back. It's like trying to hold down a beach ball under water. It’s not too difficult at first… but the longer you...

In the red circle we put the sexual behaviors we want to abstain from, the ones we consider “acting out.” These are the behaviors that we identify as addictive, harmful, or unacceptable for us. In the yellow circle we put behaviors that may lead to acting out, like triggers, or that we are not...

Okee dokee, so about 4 hours ago I relapsed after 7 days. Okay, so yes that is bad, but it's my second longest goal and I didn't watch porn with it, so I'm not feeling too bad, if a little depressed at least. I've decided to take a new approach. While I normally stay away from proper porn...

Hey all, I am new to the website, and the only forums I normally ever post in on the internet are model railway forums, so for my this is unusual, but I have decided to take action on what is getting me down. Be prepared though, this will be quite a lengthy post. I am only 16, and for many...

I think the thing about "urges", is that it would be helpful, and help ensure our "porn-free" success, for us to view them differently. Firstly, can we all agree that urges are never going to go away? Whether you are 9 years old or 90, they are here to stay. Secondly, I don't think we should...

This beautiful woman, who enticed me to see. She beckons with beauty, desire so deep. A gorgeous attraction that does call to your heart. Drawing you near, with a hypnotic nuance. Oh she is lovely, and comely, and wise. Her air so mysterious, lucid, alive. This presence surrounds her...

I doubt anybody saw it but I made a post yesterday updating whoever on how I'm feeling after day 29. I'm still new to NoFap so I'm not 100% on all the terminology, but I've seen some people refer to something called a "flatline." From what I understand this is a period of depression that a lot...

I have noticed just now that environment and wasting opportunities plays a large part in temptation. Whenever I knew that I would be alone it would trigger autopilot mode and it would seem uncontrollable. This environment factor can be a particular location you feel comfortable and safe or an...
