thoughts

Hello. I am a new member. But more exactly, I already have been on this forum. Briefly, when I was 16 years old I registered here and started my journey. I didn't have problems with abstinence. But after 2 years I gave up. It's a reminder for those who think that after a long period of time...

Hi, I wrote this short letter purely to vent some of my thoughts. But I thought that perhaps someone else could find something of worth in them so I thought I would share. The porn industry promotes people as product, it will coerce, drug, force and employ violence to meet the demand for smut...

It has become abundantly clear that this persistent loneliness is going to be a factor in my life for a good while at least. I said the same thing about five years ago, fully expecting to be a completely different person at this point. I thought for sure I would be able to talk to people by now...

Hi to anyone reading this! This journal is my way of letting my thoughts flow out instead of gathering up inside my conscience. Here are my intentions: Quit porn and masturbation all together, not for semen retention which is a by product, but instead to go back to myself. The old me, the...

There's a man sitting behind you, you never see him, no one does, he sits in silence and watches you. 24/7 all the time no stops no breaks he watches you in silence. Sometimes it's been so long since he last spoke that you forget he's there. But then you live your life and something happens, or...

Everyday Morning And Night I Am Intentionally Having Sexual Thoughts And Fantasizing About Old P Videos And Sex With Girl For 2 Hours. Am I relapsed? Or Can I Continue My Nofap Journey? (Sorry For My Bad English)

So, I've abstained from M for 70+ days. I think its closer to 80, though. I think the most I've gotten from that is learning that all urges are temporary, and that it is simply not worth it to M again. For my family, my friends, and the goals I want to achieve in this life, going back to M is...

Hi all, I'm currently trying to focus on my work, but lustful thoughts keep popping into my mind whilst trying to concentrate. Any tips? Thanks

I was alone trying to sleep, my phone was charging, my head was under my phone, once I putted the 30m alarm for the nap and closed my eyes, I started to feel that enjoyment of watching porn and how much sweetie were those old nudes (or half nudes) that I have watched before, and suddenly I...

Hi, when you have sexual thoughts do you entertain them or try not to think of it? I am wondering if sexual fantasies will lead to further pmo. Thanks

I'm not really sure how to start this introduction but I'll try. Having a porn addiction sucks, big time. Porn addiction and social anxiety has completely messed up the way I communicate with women. The anxiety might have been there first, but porn made my anxiety much worse as I have trouble...

I have an issue struggling to keep sexual thoughts out of my head for my reboot, and keeping my mind clean. It's like my mind plays tricks on me to attempt to make me struggle. It's so straining and its brought alot of suffering and pain to my life. But I know I have to remain strong. I...

1. Guarded well your mental deeds and constantly kept yourself pure and uncontaminated. That means stay away from the internet or at least useless, dirty, information and webpages. 2. Do not follow your thoughts once you have sexual fantasy. Stop right there. Start thinking something positive...

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...

Wish I didn't need "this" to feel normal A radical shift must overtake to change the tide of my be To be is of peace To be is to be free To be is to find the ideal me The me I never knew

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...

Hi everyone. I’m happy to say that I’ve gone a full seven days without PMO. But today I released due to a wet dream. It was more or less related to the porn I’ve consumed. I know it’s natural to have sexual thoughts sometimes but consuming myself with fantasizing has been a been habit of mine...

I mean, all my friends and me are now at this stage of "finding ourselves" and figure out what we want to do in life, which is hard, I'm not denying, but I realized that its pointless to just let time pass till some inner voice will tell me who I really am, I can just choose what I want to want...

KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY porn thoughts pretending to be you. *Your brain, your thinking, can be hijacked by rogue thought forms and a person’s decision making can be altered because of it. SPACE and AWARENESS. Aware of and watching of the thoughts we identify with. Creating a gap between...

So this has been happening for a few years.. I just have these derogatory thoughts whenever im near most ppl.. Like theirs a evil voice in my head messing with my vibe.. For example if im talking to a girl the convo on the outside is normal but on the inside theirs a lil voice in my head calling...

When I am on the beach, when I am walking down the street, when I am with my female friends, I can't control myself from commenting and having thoughts about woman booties and bodies. Even though I am on my 253rd day of NoFap, the libido is too strong and I can't prevent myself from looking at...

So during my last relapse, I was having really bad thoughts of something unpleasant, I know I’m not attracted to it, but my mind makes me think I must do it again to not feel this way and so I have a clean streak. I haven’t been able to get the thoughts out of my head. I know it’s just in my...

Hi folks! I'm new here but a veteran in this practice.....although, never was able to sustain it for more than 2 months. I'm 35 years old and still trying. I've developed a strong ability to hold my sperm even with powerful stimulation such as ladies or porn. But after 2 weeks or more, when I...

I have tried quitting porn like 100 of times. I guess my account is also very old which can show you how much I want to quite pmo. For the first time in last 10 years I will be having 30 days streak. Before these 10 years I was topper in my class and have been very good in studies. Then one day...

Just one quick observation, I'd like to share with you today. As you probably all know addict's own mind really does wanna trick him/her into relapsing to get the feel good chemicals fix it's used to. BUT even when PMOing is off the table, the game doesn't end there. I realized just how...

Hi fellow Fapstronauts, As I'm nearing another round number on the counter, I'm beginning to wonder if monk mode after reaching a certain point in time is still the best way to go. What are your thoughts on the matter? The thing is, monk mode has affected me more profoundly than I dare to...

This is a recent problem I have been having which is probably hurting my streak count or our streaks on here. But it's basically facing the fact that I think about sex every day and even when I'm talking to a lady friend. I'm not sure how to loose this thought process. Since most of the time I...

Twenty year PMO addict with PIED. I'm in the midst of my longest streak ever (on my ninth day), and I want to know what qualifies as relapse. I've had a few times throughout the last week or so where I've had a stray thought and got erect, but quickly thought about something else. I've also had...

Hey fapstronauts! its been a while since I ve logged into the nofap website. I dont know why that is but I ll tell u Guys that I ve come back more pathetic than how i had left. My streak intervals reduced drastically and now I m struggling to keep it under for a week. I ve joined for btech in...

I don't play videogames but I watch walkthrough or cutscenes movie sometime. I 'm technically virgin but I mentally fornicated countless times with PMO also. I have clear enough goals and plan but I neglect my housekeeping and hygiene. I guess I'm handsome, but my body is neglected again...

This is a random discussion guys. But I'm just wondering if anybody here on nofap can control there dreams, manifest certain people into them at all or do what they want willingly? I've been digging a whole lot deeper into what dreams mean and what gets filtered threw out the night on nightly...

Okay, so I woke up this morning at home alone and was feeling really tempted to look at something arousing. I was contemplating in my mind whether or no I should (obviously I shouldn’t), but some how I justified it in my mind. I searched up an old porn video I used to watch, and to my surprise I...

Hi everyone. I am a 21 year old man, and today I have just created my account here. My story begins back in the 1st February of 2019 when I was ready to start my trip on NoFap and also no smoking. It's already almost 3 month that I didn't do it. It happend only couple of times when I was...

Hello guys. I am a newer person on this site who's been trying to give up masturbation and porn just like anyone else on here, but I need some help. I already talked about my own strategy of using a jockstrap when not in public, but I find it too absurd. I'm not necessarily an addict, but I want...

Hello, I am a 20 year old male living in Texas. I have been on NoFap since late September. I've had some bumps in the road along the way, where I quit the day counter for edging, but I have not O'd voluntarily in quite a while. I have never made it this far on NoFap before. I have never been...

My observations after 90 days of hardmode: 1. I'm physically fitter then 90 days ago, 2. Eyesight has improved -> I can read text further away and have less eye floaters, 3. Emotional numbness is gone -> my emotions are now often exaggerated, causing mood swings, but things are slowly...

There are dark circles under my eyes. My neck and shoulders are so tense they feel like they're going to snap. My thoughts are racing. People say I look depressed. This Reboot is hell. I just hope these things end. Are these symptoms normal? Does anybody else feel anything relatable?

Hey people, need your thoughts and wisdom on some thoughts/ideas. So I'm on about day 110 at the moment of Nofap and it has been one of the greatest things I've ever done with my life, the number of benefits are insane and I've listed them before here. But at the moment I'm just wondering about...

Hi guys, I wanted to ask if anybody knows a way to deal with fetishes. I have a pissing fetish and I am haunted by homosexual thoughts. I think the major cause is porn which is why I'm doing my best to abstain. The problem is that every time I try to do so the forementioned thoughts lead me to a...

I am going to start a journal to keep my journey documented. It is mostly self serving so I dont expect many replies, but I myself enjoy reading other peoples randomish thoughts so maybe some of you will like it. My friend x came over today and we worked on our programming project. I lost...

I started off so powerful and willing, and i was aiming for 2 days, then a week, then two weeks, then a month, until i reached this day, where i suddenly burned out and i needed to take a break from work, PORN was almost escaping my thoughts and it was the last option in my mind, but a thought...

I'm so tired of this, these thoughts are tormenting me and ruining my mood. I just want to focus on other things but these thoughts keep reappearing. Does anyone else experience this? I've found it gets better the further into my streak I get, but as the thoughts recede I forget why I even...

Well, i was the very lethargic, procrastinating and often blame other or the situation and cirumstances around me... also got banged up by many different kind of pain, struggles and challenges... i had PMO addictions, binge eating now everything goes fine, even done 65 DAYS OF SUCCESSFUL NO...

just found this video while searching NOFAP any thoughts? should we do anything about it ?

Hi Guys, I'm 4 days away from my 90 day target (I intend to carry on), I just wanted to do a quick post regarding sexual thoughts and overall perspective towards women. During my reboot I have started to develop a new perspective towards women and how I look at them, I seem to want a...

I’m new here; trying to quit porn as my 1st step. I experienced something today that happens sometimes to me. I’m a MHP so I have my own theories on it. I started watching porn & within 5 minutes I started ruminating about a negative event that happened a few days ago.... Anyone else ever...

I just finished masturbating again, after watching several clips of the devils video. Oh no, I feel dead. I had assured myself that I would practice self love, but yet again, I have betrayed me, right in the dead end. Why do I still do shit that I don't want to do? Why can't I just easily stop...

Yesterday i took the "Beck Depression Inventory". It is a self-rating test for depression consisting in 21 items which ask you to evaluate your state of being, thoughts and emotions which occured during the past two weeks. I scored 33, which is in the spectrum of "Severe depression". Even if it...

Yesterday I broke my 31 streak of non PMO by jacking off to a POV video. It wasn’t anything intense though. Today I jacked off in the shower and my god it felt amazing, I just thought of the girl I liked and imagined real sex with her. It was slow sex, but the O was amazing. I don’t feel bad...

So this is basically a thred for you to give your opinions on what it means to be a man in todays society. It's something that I have been thinking alot about lately and something that I find interesting as a mans role seems to have changed drastically over the last few decades. So I'm curious...

Has anyone ever felt that not thinking about fap or masturbation, like completely blocking or thinking you were never addicted to it help you go on without fapping for a long period. I previously had a streak of about 150 to 200 days and I feel that was the contributing factor. How many of you...

The headaches i described are getting stronger. And also the feeling of foggines of the mind. But they kinda go temporary when i focus my mind to something i find interesting. I started having dreams of random girls i know. in the dream it's like i know i'm doing something wrong, so they don't...

Short update from yesterday and today. Yesterday i was feeling very irritated and my wife noticed. I told her i was having man-ustration this month xD. It was nice to laugh at it and it kinda made me aware of how deep this is affecting on a deeper level. It boosted my motivation to quit P for...

Ok guys so two nights ago i was just thinking before falling asleep and this thought came into mind, hence the title of this post. I felt like i made a new discovery and just HAD to get up and write about it. So here i am sharing it to you guys. Maybe its just common sense and or somebody...

he says all the right things, i can't help but wonder if he says them to just say them or if he really means it. i hope he really means it. i hope he doesn't really want to lose me. hope to be had... right? i've always said, "never expect, always hope", that way you're never truly...

So I have a question, that i'm curious about everyones thoughts regarding.. do you guys believe there are healthy levels to P or M? And if so, what does that look like to you? In other words, what do you think the ideal relationship to either P or M is? Something i've been thinking on a lot.

A thread for me (and others) to express honest thoughts on the truly strange, ironic, painful and persistent sensation of loneliness experienced by humans in a world more interconnected by technology and nature for the convenience of humans than ever before.

Hello forum, this is my first post. I am writing today as a marker of the first time attempting NoFap, and of my experience so far. It is definitely an experience which is unfolding quite controversially, to my own surprise. So here i was, day 27 taking it easy and feeling pretty good about...

The title says it all. Can a guy, or girl, explain this to me?

A while back, I used to not be interested in the idea of sex. I used to also get annoyed when people talk about how good it feels to them. Today, all of a sudden, I'm actually interested in sex [when the time is right]. I don't know if it's because of the reboot (even though I'm only on my first...

It just upsets me that some people on Nofap are ashamed of being a virgin, and act like it's horrible. Being a virgin, to me, is way better than having meaningless sex with everyone that you see. Any thoughts?

What do you think about fetishes that most guys have?

Last night, I had a dream where I relapsed to a certain thing that I would masturbate to in the past (I couldn't remember exactly what it is, but I think it was a nude scene of a woman in a TV show). The dream was so vivid, that I literally thought I relapsed and I had to reset my counter, LOL...

Even if i don't MO a reset the counter because when i search and see porn i get really hard even before see the porn, so looks i give the dopamine kick again, i just want to know how you guys face your streaks and self discipline, days counter to me it's like push ups now, but you think it's to...

On the third day, i ended up waking up with morning, and being able to easily get an erection. When i went to sleep on the 3rd day, i purposely sleep on my stomach with my penis pointing downward so it wouldn't get squished while i was sleeping. When i woke up on the 4th day (this morning), i...

It's kinda disgusting when you are doing random things and pop disturbing porn images in your head, how you avoid this thoughts?

Whats up NoFap Fam?! It's reallycoldicecream here. I just finished up taking my first cold shower and let me tell you I feel amazing. It was really difficult at first to mentally just get in and push yourself through it, but after you're in then your body starts to adapt. It definitely gives...

The question sums it all up. Today I was waiting for the train on the platform and saw a very attractive woman passing me by. I won't go into details lest I make anyone on here relapse, but I couldn't get my eyes off her, I was literally standing there watching her as all kinds of...

I was thinking about if the induced social anxiety is limited to porn, or too much use of computer and internet have a fault in that too, can porn addiction be just one more level of internet addiction, i remember when i was younger and don't use the computer i was extrovert and energic, later...

I just find i bit wird not think about girls all the time, i am 20 years old so NOT think about girls can almost kill me of boredom, but do you think fantasies about sex can slow the reboot? what can i done about this?

My situation: when doing nofap for anytime longer than a week, I will start getting crazy intense sexual desires. The sight of a hot chick will make me sooooooo horny and I would actually feel nauseas. Sometimes I even feel angry (instead of being invigorated by the sight of a hot girl, I'd just...

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my story of isolation and wanted some feedback and maybe assurance that ill get better. Since August of 2016 I've been in South Korea with my step dad and mom, due to the military. When I got here, I was hyped up with experiencing a new culture; the women, the...

Im on 11 days without PMO and i've been fine with it so far, not been that difficult. Though however what has been bothering me are constant sexual thoughts in my head. It keeps distracting me in school and I lose focus and concentration in lessons which is affecting me alot. Whats the best...

I woke up today without morning wood. A bit concerned but deep down, I know I shouldn’t be. I quickly acknowledged that I could well be going through the flatline phase. Urrgh! Last time I had a flatline during my first streak of 13 days. I had done just over a week of NoFap by that stage. I...

Since doing NoFap, I've decided on having a journal, and regularly writing my thoughts and feelings throughout my streaks and relapses I've had. Also on what I've done, how things have changed mentally, physically and emotionally for me, and what impacts it's made on me and my life for the...

Hi fellow Fapstronauts, So.. im 21 year old female who has been addicted to porn since the age of 15. I never thought porn was deemed to be a negative thing as it has become the norm to me i guess. I stopped watching it 4 days ago. I have never stopped watching it to realise that it was...
