trigger

Hello guys So I just joined recently and I am determined not to ever go back to the bad habit. My approach is to identify the main sources of the triggers and try to eliminate them as much as possible, I am doing good so far by putting time restrictions on both of my major sources which are...

Hi, I'm a 30 year old male who hasn't had sex and I've returned to this page after years to share my story. Ever since I was little, I've endured little sexual mishaps and misgivings, all the way up until puberty and adolescence. It was just my curious nature, I feel like. I started watching...

What I have witnessed in the last few days is something I would not think it would happen so fast. It's been 6 years since the NoFap community started to get worried with how bad internet has became regarding to porn being everywhere. I was wandering through Youtube to search about health...

Complete rebooting is based on 2 pillars: Learning how to say "no". Minimizing triggers. Most of the discussions on this site center around the first pillar, because it's clearly the more important one. But let's not forget the second, either! We have to get our intentions correct first. We...

Hello fellow brothers, so yesterday I went to the club and I also started doing online dating again, even if I am 0 days wothout PMO. I have noticed that somehow everytime when I chase girls (via Dating Apps or in the club for example) that I fall into some submissive mode and start doing...

Hello brothers, so I was on my third day of no PMO yesterday. During thr day everything has gonr quite well because I was very busy with work, but at night when I was laying in bed I felt extremely horny and automatically, after a short fight in my head about giving up or not, I took my...

I have found that the main reasons of relapsing can be fit into 3 categories: Loneliness, Stress, Triggers. Loneliness: You could also call this boredom. It's having nothing else to do may cause you to relapse. Without hobbies or (good) people to hang out with, you will be at a higher chance of...

I have deleted my instagram because I used to get some attractive nude photos and videos while scrolling i.e triggers were available everywhere, And I used to fight 10-15 triggers a day. I reduced availability of pornographic stuff. Now I get 3-4 triggers a day only Now Battle is easier And I...

As the title says, I think I've found the thing that makes me have the most urges/relapses, but I don't know the best way to attack it amd overcome it. The thing is, I relapse the most/get the most urges when I need to put effort into something. When I think "I have to do this" or "This...

Yesterday's fantasy : Trigger Warning !!! Well I am a recovering porn addict. I sext yesterday night with a stranger . He was a sex addict and told me that he has fucked more than 10 escorts at OYO rooms in [***********]. He sent me some photos of those escorts. They were fucking beautiful...

I’ve been trying not to relapse so much lately. Starting streaks.. and relapsing because of giving in, thinking I had already messed it up. every time I start a new streak, my mind plays games with me. Either through thinking about arousing material or something similar. I cannot keep...

I’ve been addicted to porn for about 7 years now; started watching consistently in my teens. Flash forward to today and I‘ve been dating my first-ever girlfriend for about 8 months. Only problem? We’ve had to go long distance for a couple months while I’m at grad school. Even when she was...

Hello all, Like many of us, I’m early in my road to recovery. I’ve been able to abstain from porn for about 3 weeks at a time, and am currently on my longest streak and feeling very good about it. My struggle right now is that I’m a comic book reader, and it’s one of the tools that I use to...

DAY 0 Hello, I've been trying to quit PMO for almost 2 years now and finally deciding to write about it. 2 years sounds like a long time but I've only really been trying for maybe a few months out of those 2 years. I've been able to hit milestones like 30 and 60 days several times but I always...

hey guys.. dont u Fucking hate the explosion of porn bots on instagram recently?? We can't even use the good side of the app without getting triggered from the comments.. so I just created a petition when I got some extra time to bring attention to this issue. But I need 5 signs initially to...

So I just broke my 5 day streak yesterday. Porn triggers are everywhere even on a simple messenger app like telegram. I'd advise to use CloudViel a free to use telegram client which does not have any search functionality. I succumbed to a romantic scene in a movie and then used telegram of all...

Yea, I Was close. All day at work I had very little sexual fantasties. My mind was focus on things besides sex and women. When my shift ended, I took a taxi (uber) home. As I get out of my car, I see a couple, boy and girl kissing. I looked for a second, and then went into my residence. But...

So after 12 days of no masturbation, I broke my streak :emoji_pensive:. I'll try to make it to 3 weeks starting from today. As mentioned in my previous post I'm on a rich protein diet now and I also take multivitamins. My chocolate intake (an aphrodisiac) is also high. After 10 days of no...

I feel like I'm sentencing myself to hell right now, I hope you guys understand. I'm tired of acting like everything is okay, and I'm so destroyed from my actions and desires I've been having suicidal thoughts lately. Here's my story. I've been a slave to P since 12 maybe? Not too sure. Keep in...

I haven't though about it much but sometimes reading book I find triggering content - not speaking of romance books because that's a bad idea to do so as it mainly focused on doing love and stuff, but about books that it tends to happen from time to time. I've came across thinking about it...

Hello Guys, I'm on a 5 day streak w/o watching porn & masturbating. I just had an annoying trigger on YouTube. From nowhere, a video popped up on the side, title: "2020 swimwear collection 4k ULTRa hd ", something like that. I moved the mouse quickly to see the preview, but my mind told me DONT...

I have noticed one of my triggers in the past is social media and dating apps. So I deleted them earlier this year and have seen some improvements in my habits. My longest streak was 84 days and have had several 2+ weeks streaks. However, it is hard to use the benefit of improved confidence with...

Hello, does anyone here know how to block ads on youtube? On my samsung TV I play background videos but once in a while ads pop up that can be a trigger. There seems to be no add blocker in the appstore either. Only solution would be to access video sharing plattforms similiar to youtube...

So you are looking for that one read which will help to get that boost. THIS ONE IS THAT. Most of you must be knowing what a trigger is but for those who don't its that thing which makes you feel the URGE. Once you have figured it out you can go to really high streaks that you haven't even...

So, I have a problem with YouTube (the smart phone application). It's a great application and I listen to podcasts, various lectures and some music there. How ever the problem is I often get distracted with the recommendations and this leads to huge amounts of wasted time and sometimes to even...

I've been hesitating to write about such subject, but I REALLY need help with it Ok so, I have a foot fetish (i doubt it is a porn induced fetish), and guess what ? Each time i look at my feets (And im a man which is even weirder) I remember that i have a foot fetish, please don't tell me to not...

Ok so I made a rule of using Instagram for 10 minutes at night to talk to my friends a bit. I was going through the explore page and literally everything is so fu##ing sexualized! I am not going to describe what I saw from even memes about porn and how it's normalised to semi-graphic stories...

Hi all :) So today I was drawing and well my drawing didn’t come out as I wanted. So I quickly went on to twitter to search for a porn star (In my laptop I have SafeSearch on and cant turn it off jaja). I watched triggering images and videos for about 10 minutes, I was going to relapse but...

What is porn addiction? We characterize porn addiction as a phenomenon of the brain marked by compulsive use of pornography which proves difficult to stop despite negative consequences, and which often worsens over time. To date, the American psychological community has yet to officially...

I have been fighting this addiction for at least a year and a half. I have relapsed, done big streaks, but in the end I relapse. However, I think every relapse is an opportunity to learn. For example I have not PMO´d for a month and a half (I did watch little one day but a miracle happened...

How do you cope with stress and boredom? These are probably the biggest triggers for my relapses. About a month ago the combination of stress (caused by work and my personal programming projects after the work) and without recovering from that stress. Being tired and unable to do anything led to...

Hi. At the start of reboot, I deliberately unfollowed potential trigger accounts in Instagram. Now I just follow normal people, who posts normal stuffs, not even cleavage or navel. Still, I'm finding myself checking out the breasts and other parts even of those normal Instagrammers. And I don't...

Guys, i want to ask someting about whay to do, but first please read my story, I have 3 bad addictions which each one leads to triggers another one, those are ● Addiction to game ( dota 2) , i know this game from my college friend, 2.5 years ago, and since im getting good at this game, its...

I’m on day 2 of nofap and I’ve been getting through the chaser effect. I have ocd and anxiety and I’m super cautious about what I look at and what I may run into visually during my reboot. I have a question, even though I think I know the answer and I’m sure I’m just over worried about it. I was...

Going through a phase where I am staying mostly indoors. When seeing a woman it turns me on now. I don't how things are about where you guys live, but here in UK and Ireland it is becoming more and more common where girls and women are wearing body tight clothing including yoga pants...

Ok so I work from home once a week , I do my work but this still gives me a full day at home with various ways of accessing porn and tbh I've fapped every time I've worked from home without fail, sometimes multiple times Anyone else have this issue ? And if so how do you deal with it ?

Going porn free for a few days now but have been sent an incognito porn vid in my casual sports teams group of which I need to be a part of to play in this team. Anyone have this issue ? And if so how to deal with it without going down the porn rabbit hole ?

Every time I argue with my SO I find myself wanting to reopen my PornHub account, go to the bathroom with my phone (worst invention for porn addiction) and fap Anyone else get triggered by this ?

Next couple of days I'll be home alone, which used to be a big trigger for me. Can't go out much because there's an exam in 5 days I've got to study loads for. I'll take this as the first big challenge I face through my recovery. Wish me luck lol

Well it is all in the title. First of all. Thank you NoFap, I am still in my challenge, the counter is ticking, I'm getting closer and closer to 92. But I must admit, sometimes, when I read what we are writing, it reminds me of what porn I used to watch and when these memories come up, so do...

Last night I had my first panic moment! This is the first time that I had the urge to M in this challenge. There is this girl that I have a crush on, yesterday I had some sort of date with her, I am Muslim so premarital sex is not an option. I woke up 3 am and there is when I stated fantasizing...

My phone is far by biggest trigger to relapsing. I keep having that bad habit of going to Settings and enabling Google Chrome. You know how it goes. Since my phone is android, its impossible to uninstall Google Chrome from it. I want to eliminate my phone but I need it to contact my family and...

Hello to you reading this, I hope you are doing well. Today's one of days that I was fully aware of my triggers. Since it is very important to figure out what triggers you, I thought it should be a good idea to observe my own self. Therefore, I figured that holding the mobile before sleeping...

OK, I've had a bit of a light bulb moment I thought I'd share for comments. It was clearly a bit of an eye opener for me, but you may all think I'm stating the bleedin' obvious.... I just find it helps me to organise the ideas if I write them down. Let's assume that I am most likely to PMO...

Hi guys, this is my 85th day. So today I saw a thumbnail of dance video on Youtube. I know that the video/dance will be triggering as it is a sexy moves and song. So I open it.. I look at the video for a while. Then it gots to the point when the moves between the boy and girl make me shocked...

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...

Disclaimer: My streak refers to no masturbation to porn. But I did look at porn during my streak. Never to use as fuel for my fantasy or to tease myself or anything like that. I'll explain in detail why I did it. I understand if you dismiss my input for not being a pure no porn streaker. However...

I see a lot of people asking stupid-ass questions here so I thought Imma do the same just to see how it feels to be a fucking dickbag and really feel myself immersed in that magnifiscent/glorious/tremendous/out of this world community. Guys!!!! I need help!!!!!! I was watching Netflix the other...

I’ve noticed that when I was on my NoFap streak I couldn’t look at curvy women without getting a boner + sweaty palms + dry mouth + heartbeat racing, similar to what I’would’ve had with p subs (or porn).So I stopped looking at them.Now what the fuck does that mean? That curvy chicks are a bad...

Hey there! Today is my day 27 in reboot (PM) and I should be happy. There's no urge, pressure, no overthinking or any trouble to avoid triggering stuff... Thing is: I feel nothing triggering at all. This is upsetting after a real rebirth in the sex life with my wife. Therefore, the question to...

Hello guys, so it's day 0 of my nofap challenge, and I started it with some difficulties, I had urges but I overcame it, but something happened that I was afraid of, I was watching tv and there was a cultural program about art and when I was watching it, the young girl with white bra popped up...

There are many advantages of going through the reboot process with a partner: it can improve your relationship to be open you have a constant reminder of at least one reason why you want to stop with PMO sex, can be helpful in moderating the intensity of the withdrawal symptoms associated with...

Social media specially FB and IG have been the 90% of my triggers. 90% of my relapses have been because of that. The others, weed and alcohol. Remove triggers are essential to win the war. I´m almost in day 90. So it´s my first goal accomplished!! Despite all the benefits I have felt, I think...

Day of visual torture I think now I entering hypersensitivity on watching at any good locking women – its not even imagining anything graphic that I would do with her, it is the pure recognition of hip small hands cute noses soft skin… picture processed bang M urge but no perspective to act on...

Some context before I ask my question: When I watch movies and or read things online and view/read certain things, they cause me out of my ocd curiousity to start Googling that term/scene/actresses/etc. and then one thing leads to another and before I know it I'm beyond the self-control control...

PMO is a bad habit. Habit, after all, is simply when our brain launches into a preprogrammed 'zombie mode'. Habits have four parts: 1. The Cue: This is the 'trigger' that launches you into 'zombie mode'. Recognize what launches you into your zombie mode(aroused mode). Cues usually fall into one...

I was on my phone when this overwhelming desire to masturbate came over me. I gave in and broke a plan to go 7 days without PMO. I really don't want this to happen to me again. Are there anyways to ignore/suppress these urges?

Hi guys, this question popped into my head and I think it's important for many of us. I have noticed that some of my most powerful triggers are my emotions. Sadness kills my motivation, makes me feel meaningless and gives me an emergency exit. Anger makes me go closer to my demons and porn is...

I've never watched porn in my life, so at least I have that going for me. I have had quite a bad habit though, multiple times a day for a few years. What gets me off is fantasising of a "Perfect Self": genius, gorgeous, ripped, rich, sex god playboy Gittir who can do anything and is loved by...

Just because I did just see something that has triggered quite the urge, I'd like to see what other people do when something like this happens to you.

Hi, so today I watched the second season of a show called 'easy'. I knew it could be triggering, because sex is one of the main topics of the show. But what goes on in the third episode is really crazy. In one of the scenes I thought 'What the fuck is going on? Am I watching porn?' I stopped...

Do any of you have this problem? Working out just makes me horny as fuck and the urges afterwards are insane! I'm tired, but feeling very sensual/sexual afterwards. (Not all the time, but more often than not). I don't even look at porn, it's all fantasy most of the time. And not just kinky...

Been thinking about triggers lately and how many there are in my life to overcome. It made me think that all kinds of acting out (whatever it is you are here to try and overcome - P, M, etc etc) are subject to triggers. So why when we know what those triggers are do we still get caught and end...

Hi all, I'm completely new here and just posted my first introduction thread. I'm hoping to engage more and really get involved with this, so thought I'd bring up a topic that's been on my mind since I'd decided to put an end to PM. I'm curious to know how disciplined you guys are when it...

I've been PMO free for 11 days now and so far I was feeling good. However today I was reading the news and there was triggering clickbait which I clicked. It's like a snowball, I start with just one thought of desire and that starts rolling downhill and gaining force. Some minutes later I was...

So this is my very first thread and my story is as similar as the many threads i have already read. A good 15 years wasted watching porn excessively and at some stages with a routine id follow religiously. Ive come to the end of my tether with it, as we all are wanting to better ourselves in one...

Okay so I just PMO'd, earlier this afternoon I MO'd, on Monday I MO'd and on Sunday I MO'd. Yeah, it's not been a great week on the NoFap front. I did decide to just try to quit porn for 30 days and then start in the masturbation, but actually this c;ear;u isn't working so I'm gonna go straight...

Today and yesterday have been difficult. I have been trying to set up some restriction software on Chrome, and during this I have subsequently come across quite a lot of major triggers. Now, luckily, I have managed to avoid relapsing, and have been able to ignore these triggers and carry on...

I was on instagram looking at random pics, when I saw a picture of a girls booty (which reminded me of a p star not gonna name her so it wont trigger others). I quickly turned scrolled past it and my temptation made me to go back and just look at it for a few more seconds. Now the that image is...

My girlfriend and i didnt saw each other for about a week . I will going to see her really soon and my problem is that im afraid to relapse because my girlfriend is my greatest trigger .. just seeing her makes me so horny .. what should i do ?

I admit I have fantasy of Anal sex. So today I had this urge of watching it. I looked at this image instead http://3milliondogs.com/blog-assets-two/2015/01/SpencerPitBullPuppy14WeeksPoopWormsTape.jpg. My urges were immediately gone. Hope it helps someone else. Look for similar images on google...

The urge hits like a truck

What song gets you PUMPED!? What song gets you driven!? What's one song that you can listen to for the rest of your life and never get tired of!? Please provide a link. For me it has to be "Nigga Whut" by Redman. Doesn't matter where I am or how I feel, once this song comes on, I'm unstoppable...

Today was a little harder. I got a few semi boners in class, not really thinking about much. Kind of nice because Ive been in flatline the last couple days. About 20 minutes ago I saw a girl on tv who looked like a girl in a porn I used to watch alot and I couldnt get the image of her sucking...

I don´t know if you guys have been struggling with social media and relapses. In my case, Facebook has been the author of more than 90% of my relapses. So you have to pay a lot of attention to this and be really carefull. Social media and internet is ful of triggers. Avoid triggers is so...

Was sitting in the living room triggered, conquering the urges, when suddenly a wish to drink coca cola appears. It got me laugh and wonder why did the second addiction get activated? How common is this phenomenon?

today im watching some anime and theres a scene thats really triggering . and i looked at it . I got the urge to masturbate but I did not .. Is this a relapsed ?? :(

Day 4 of no-pmo Today I was browsing Facebook and while scrolling down . I saw a picture of a woman with her clevage revealed . this aroused me too much and I want to fap really badly Pls help how to deal with this kind of trigger Thanks..

Hello everyone, my name is Luke and ive struggled with masturbation and social impotence for about 10 years straight. For 6 months there wasn't a day that passed without masturbation and the shame was never far away either. I don't know how many people are like me. I wake up with many things on...

Last night while I am sleeping I had a wet dream . its feels so very real like the sensation when u have a piv interaction. This triggers me a lot . My main priority why I joined nofap is to cure my premature ejaculation and have more emotional connection with my girlfriend.

hey guys... Im feeling that my overconfidence its growing about my abilities of no pmo, and these could low my alert on my trigger situations... Im on day 69th, pretty good streak, I wouldn't trough away everything. Some advices?

Some reflections after 5 weeks in this reboot program: It worths it totally to quit this addiction: selfsteem, concentration, energy, relations, etc. Still is quite a challenge all along, and each day must be THAT day where I face my feelings, urges, triggers, angers, etc... Eroticism...

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm on day five of a minimum 30 day reboot. I'm a newbie at this so this is my first time attempting to forego porn for more than a week in over 15 years. I've noticed a huge improvement both cognitively and socially by abstaining porn for five days so far...
