truth

Of course since abstinence is of the saints, and Nikola Tesla, and the great Elon Musk, and humor helps keep the transference of 'sexual energy' into creative energy; shhhh keep this secret but nooo if you have gifts you have to gift it as a Yu-Gi-Oh! Graceful Charity move. Joking aside; Porn...

To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not. - Amenhotep IV I think this resonates with me to a deep level. In our society that believes the pathway to...

The lies that kept me hooked to PMO were the following. Perhaps these will help others get free also: "I need sex/PMO to survive." "I need sex/PMO to be cool socially. I don't wanna be an outsider." "Everyone else is getting sex except me. I'm destined to be alone (Victim mindset). "I deserve...

first of all this post isn't meant to discourage you from doing nofap but to give a rational view on it. also albeit this is subjective we're all human and i think this is the objective and universal truth. 99% of people on this website frequent it because of one thing we all have in common...

This article ought to make all of us think twice before consuming porn again. Opinion | The Children of Pornhub - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Warning, some of the stories in this article could be triggering for some readers. UPDATES: Quite a bit more has been going on since this NYT...

A follow up of my previous post about suffering, I though to share what I believe is happening in the mind when we experience misery of any kind and a little about what we can do about it. My intention is not to prove anyone wrong or show that I have the answers, but instead share some insight...

I’m not rich. I’m not great looking. I’m not overwhelming in confidence. I’m not free. I’m still living in my parents' house. I don’t have many friends. I don’t have a girlfriend whom I can share intimate moments with. I don’t have many people that care about me. This... is my current life. I’m...

What i have found is the best benefit of NoFap, is that i don’t have a double life anymore. Before I had a double life and kept my life secret from everybody. I was very ashamed of my habit. Due the shame I didn’t maintain close friendships or began an relationship, was very closed as a person...

I talk mostly about men here. Because most of the time porn users/addicts are men. I am also talking about my experience. I was for the most of my life just an dishonest man. I lied a lot. I wanted to hide my porn use for everybody. Luckily, I didn’t had a relationship when I used porn, so I...

I have been writing these journals in private on and off and I must say, reading these essays, I write in my journal, back to myself tickles me a little bit. Looking at what I was struggling with in the past and seeing how far I...HAVEN'T come since then is quite hilarious. I try to find humor...

Day 20 of NoFap, all girls looks attractive, seriously. And im still holding my urge but I cant stop looking at girls and i look them in the eyes. Even in class or in my way to the college. Funny thing I have the best day feeling ever this day like I got seriously positive energy from...

Dear Fapstronauts After a long time do I raise my head and stare the looming storm ahead once again. After being plagued by PMO for nearly 5 years, I am breaking the shackles that once bound me to the ground. No longer shall my eyes be fixated to the lowest depth of my soul but will meet every...

It infuriates me. What do they stand to gain from this... There is so much false information that we are told on the internet and this is the worst; it is a psychological and biological attack, it is healthy and okay to masturbate, so they say. Of course it is okay, we can choose to do what we...

Have you read the popular Christian youth-leader favorite book? “I kissed dating goodbye”? Josh Harris... I not only read it eagerly but also recommended it to many friends when I or they were considering getting married. I’m Crushed to hear the author (I assume who is now rich and famous)...

So lately I’ve been doing lots of research and reading through books, YouTube, podcasts, etc, on how toxic porn is to the human brain. Porn will ONLY cause negative effects for men in the long run. A lot of this information I’m coming across has only come out in the past couple years, so I can’t...

Hello All! It would be very helpful to get some tips from you guys to control the urge & have a different outlook while going through temptations by listening to your success stories. Kindly do share them. Thanks! -Barakkah Warrior

So you stop fapping, your health impoves, you become more confident, maybe you start working out, maybe you start eating healthy. You haven't fapped in quite some time now, you're getting your shit together. No longer do you see an addict in the mirror as much as a "Fighter". Superpowers right...

i ejaculate without letting my sperm out. Does it leads to infertility???

It seems like everyone has a story and it is always from their point of view. Some make themselves look like the person who was wronged and some are the ones doing the wrong. Neither way does anyone come out better than the other. It is interesting how I have been described as a selfish person...

No matter the rationalisations used, the unavoidable conclusion is drawn that dating apps in all their variety and variation are crutches to one degree or another. Tinder, Bumble, POF… they all are designed purposely to hook us in, keep us coming back and turn wondrous human beings into...

WHAT WATCHING PORN ALREADY DID? 1 - I COULDN'T CONCENTRATE ON MY GOALS AND HAD TO START OVER AND OVER AND WASTE TIME 2 - I COULDN'T BE IN THE MIDDLE, IT'S EITHER QUIT IT OR BE ADDICTED, I TRIED SO HARD TO BALANCE BUT NO 3 - MASSIVE PHYSICAL DAMAGE, BACKPAIN, HEADACHE, EYE TWITCH, DRY SKIN, JOINT...

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

Some guy sent me this video.. and I'm blown away. Buzz Alderin. The guy that was a pilot in the Apollo 11 mission, the first guy to step on the moon( along with another guy), just got tired to keep the lie to himself I guess, and he just shared this mindblowing thing. I guess when you hit...

Hi all, I am posting a link here that deals with not just PMO tips but beyond that, dealing various aspects. Hope you will find it extremely useful. Just check out the sub topics and read whatever suits you. Happy NOFAP.... :) Excerpt from the link here " So, earth, air, water, ether—all...

I am a big believer in telling the truth, being honest, etc. I realized something just now: When I watch porn or have a mental fantasy about porn/sex, I am tricking myself. I trick myself into thinking that those girls from the porno are really there. Sometimes I even have fantasies about what...

I am currently 19 years old 3rd-year college and I had no idea abstaining from PMO until I discovered and get motivated by a lot of youtube videos related to semen retention and it's benefits. I want to change and have decided to improve myself and unlock my full potential. On my elementary...

Hi, all! I am so thankful I found NoFap. I'm encouraged and I hope to find more knowledge but mostly at this point advice on whether my husband is serious about recovery (Everything points to the sad fact that he isn't) but I need confirmation that there are legitimate red flags as I want to be...

It's learning how alone everyone is in life. It's learning how no one is ever understood. It's learning, better quickly than slowly, that joy and happiness only come from your own effort. Not your partner, not your family, not your friends, not your parents. Everyone will fail you here...

Here's another philosophical question that I'd like to ask the masses. I was watching a talk yesterday on youtube, and the presenter asked this question to the listeners. I'm curious to hear your answers!

Is there an ultimate truth or truths? Is what we consider to be 'truth' just us conforming to our biases?

There is a place where a hidden drive dwells in all of us. A place that for many of us will be hard to find. It will take you to the very BRINK of your efforts but in this place you will find that drive and once you do... there will not be a SINGLE THING that will be able to hold you back. Dig...

This has been a serious thought in my head. I've also actually met a solitary who lives deep in the wilderness in his van. Would you guys ever do it? and for how long? I feel like it would be an amazing journey through the inner recesses of my soul. It's something that been on my mind for...

Hi all, First off this is, of course, the truth according to me. Your mileage may vary and I am hardly an expert, but for me these are some truths people need to hear to recover from addiction. I need to say I believe people Say PMO like its 1 thing, its not its 3, P and M and O (on hard mode)...

What you are experiencing is a simple placebo effect. People told you that not masturbating will be good for you, and you believed them. No credible scientist would ever say there is anything unhealthy about masturbation. NoFap is just another of may puritanical ideas put forward by social...

This thread is a digital gathering point in cyberspace. Lodge describes the relaxed and communal aspect of the thread, discuss and share as you will. What sort of seekers you may be wondering if that term is foreign to you? Seekers of truth and enlightenment. People who see beyond the...
