Challenge Thread: Masturbation-Free March 2016 (PMO-Free)

I'm in.

 

Jumping in -- Married, so no hard mode, but I'm going PMO-free. I'm tired of losing control, I'm tired of hiding who I am. 30, 60, 90 days... whatever it takes. Let's do this thing...

 

I heard about NoFap awhile ago and thought it'd be a good idea at the time but didn't to anything and porn and masturbating continued sucking away at my happiness with myself, my wife and my kids.

Last night I stumbled across this page again and have signed up. Thanks to Leap Year, I get the convenience of starting on the first of the month, but regardless of the date, PM has gone on too long and gone too far. Now is when I'm going to start getting control back.

 

Challenge accepted!!! I'm gonna go hard-mode for this month; going to start working out too!

 

I'll see you on the other side guys! Ooh-rah!

 

I am in. Quest accepted!

Tried it last year for 100 days and what a difference , had one of the most intense relationships i ever had , she was always telling me that im glowing with masculinity and accordint to her "it was irresistible" . Unfortunately, i spiralled down back to porn and fap.

Lets Do This Again

Do you still own a vibrator?

 

I am in and know this thread will help me.

I have done 30 days PMO free but after aome weeks I went to Psubs. March is a psub free month.

- psub free
-PMO free
-hard mode

Why I do it is explained below

(Long post about me below. Sorry for that )

I am 38 years old, living with my fiance and daughter. I basically need to get my sex life working again. Me and my fiance have had sex 2-3 times during the last 2 years due to my lack of interest. We have basically understood it now feels weird but it is a real killer. The relationship works sort of but its time to get rid of my PMO addiction and sort out this issue.

It all started during my last relationship that lasted 10 years. My then girlfriend had very low libido and after being rejected 300 times I told her I was fed up and basically never approached her for sex from that point. I know it was not right of me but I was very badly affected by it, I got very low confidence. I was also a bit afraid of approaching her since I did not want to push her. PMO was the solution to keep our relationship going.

Today I still struggle from that. I still have a low self esteem when it comes to approaching my fiance for sex and it feels like I do not know how to do it. Due to PMO I currently think its such a big work upfront the action that I rather just skip it.

My PMO addiction leads to this:

1. I dont think the seduce thing is worth the action.
2. I dont get turned on by vanilla so a single girl seems boring.
3. I am not interested in sex.
4. I spend allot of time in front of the computer when I should be sleeping.
5. My sex life is dead which moves me and my fiance more and more apart. (for some time ago we did not even hug, just felt strange)

When I found this community I started to realize my problem. PMO started as a marriage saver but is now a killer.

It is time to sort this out...

 

My friend, I sincerely wish you the best, that you can achieve your goals in your sexual life. Everybody here has problems, and we share some of them! Good thing is that we want to quit these habits, and we all will!
Take care,

 

Let's go people, march PMO free!

 

I'm in.

 

Day one of Nofap march complete!

Well, today was a rough day, but I made progress in the end. While I didn't see P-subs or anything else like that, I started the day off on the wrong foot, and became negative. This led to me having a perfectionist PMO urge, and it made me question my Nofap progress, and why I decided to switch from Failure_Is_Not_An_Option to Burning_Fire_Of_Hope. But I snapped out of it, and I'm carrying on with my Nofap march challenge! Tomorrow, I am going to be positive and fill the day with loads of pro-active activities!

See y'all on the 2nd March, the Second Day of A March Into Nofap March 2016

 

Challenge accepted.

 

I am also in. No pmo!

 

Count me in. First day of the month, and my first day here, I will do this.

Now if I only can make the counter thingy work...

 

I'm in. I ended up starting for 90 days this weekend, but March is a good checkpoint. No pmo hard mode.

 

In as well.

 

Congratulations on being PMO free for a month! Keep at it.

I know exactly what you mean about turning to PMO to improve a relationship. My wife has expressed little libido and after being consistently turned down, I also felt like the effort of trying to turn her on wasn't worth the "pay off," if you will. That's one thing I'm hoping will gradually turn around as I commit to NoFap.

Rather than hassle her for sex, I turned to PMO. At first it was a little here and there and, honestly, she was probably happy not to have me asking for sex. Then it turned into a massive, time-consuming habit. I'd find myself awake at 2 in the morning looking at porn and only stop to go to bed because the battery on the ipad was dead. I was irritable from lack of sleep and it was hurting our emotional and physical relationship.

When I've gone PMO free in the past (without help and without knowing there was even a name for it), I wasn't able to last much more than 10 or 14 days (never kept track back then). Now with the help of people here and inspiring stories like yours, I'm aiming to do better - for myself and my family. So thank you.
