    Musings on the industry.

    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...

    An isolated life.

    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...

    Impulsiveness, lack of clarity and looping back. This needs to end!

    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...

    Backseat Thoughts

    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...

    Just want some thoughts on this, thats all

    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...

    This is how it comes

    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...

    Sexual thoughts

    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

    A new beginning?

    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...

    2 ways to do Nofap more successfully

    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...

    A Tiny Victory

    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...

    Any advice on sexual thoughts while trying to go to sleep?

    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...

    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.

    Why is it apparently a crime to be a virgin, to some people?

    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?
