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

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Administrator Account, Apr 27, 2016.

  1. Sign up for the monthly challenge in this thread!

    It's that time of the month again - hello and welcome to the official signup thread for NoFap's PMO-Free May 2016!

    The purpose of this thread is to provide Fapstronauts with a place to share their commitment to abstaining from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire month of May 2016. Although it is strongly recommended, posting in this thread is not required for participation.
    New to NoFap? Here are some suggestions:
    1. Learn about the website, porn addiction, excessive masturbation, and abstaining from PMO. Read through the forum to get informed.
    2. Decide if abstaining from PMO is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to step three.
    3. Sign up for this month by replying to this thread.
    4. Consider setting up a day counter to track your progress. Otherwise, there are a variety of phone applications and calendars available for crossing off how many days you've lasted.
    5. Create a Journal Thread and share your progress every day. Not only does this help you stay accountable, it documents valuable anecdotal evidence that will ultimately help other people going through similar situations in the future.
    6. Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Come here every day and participate.
    7. Get an accountability partner.
    Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.
    • Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is called "hard mode".
    • How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting.
    • What are your goals?
    • Why are you doing this?
    Coming in after this month has already started?
    Don't panic - it is not a problem. Fapstronauts sign up for NoFap's events all months long. Just follow the instructions above and jump in at any time by replying to this thread.

    I wish you all nothing but the best. Onwards to a PMO-free May 2016! Kick off the new year right!

    • I am going to kill P and M for the entire month of May. Since I am married, I'll allow O as my wife sees fit. Although last night we tried it and I couldn't perform. It's hard without trying to bring P images into my mind so I can come. I have a long way to go.
    • 90 days. I am in it to win it!
    • I am 57 and I have NEVER known any lasting sobriety from PMO. But then again, I never had NoFap.
    • I have squandered my life and lots of money. My son wrote a letter to God years ago. My ex-wife showed it to me as she was divorcing me. It said: "Last night I walked in and saw daddy looking at naked ladies on the computer. He didn't know I was there. When I get to heaven can I have a new daddy?"
    Fuck you P! You are dead to me. And your time to die is now.

    I am going for porn elimination from my life. So I'll begin with that.
    I'm going for 90 days and hopefully longer.
    My goals are not to watch porn anymore and to not masturbate because of it.
    I'm 33, and I've been carrying the porn addiction problem since way before getting married 6 years ago. My marriage is almost broken because of it, because I haven't been able to handle it for myself and keep falling again. I always thought to use porn as means of discovering new ways to improve in the bedroom with my wife, but never noticed I was always going backwards. Masturbation in my case, has always been related to watching porn, so I hope that ending the first problem will take unnecessary M away as well. My wife has been disgusted at me because of it for a while, so O's not coming from M have been out of the table and guess it will remain the same for a while, I've always felt morally unable to cheat. It's somehow hard mode for me I guess. I just need to get my head clear of all these stuff and try to save myself and my family.
    Best of lucks to everybody!
     
  4. I'm in. It's time for me to kick this addiction.

    I had a porn free February.

    I relapsed mid-March.

    I had a binge for the beginning of April including an encounter with an escort. I think that I needed to achieve a fantasy that porn could not provide. Now that I have achieved the fantasy, it is time to correct my behavior and to live a decent and healthy life.

    I think that I have shaken the bad karma of my binge relapse out of me. I have not watched any porn since the encounter.

    I am ready for a porn free May.

    Deal me in!!!

    Please count this newbie in as well.
    Goals (PM):
    No Porn
    No Masturbation
    O only through a wet dream or with a female.

    I want to challenge myself to 30 days initially and increase it later - setting achievable time range is a more a doable thing and important for me.

    Am doing this to get rid of PIED and pursue towards having a normal sex life eventually along with a stable mindset/brain functioning.

    I'm going for 2 weeks without pmo as a short term goal, and the rest of my life as a long term goal (other than with my future wife).

    Can't wait for success!

    I am in for May! Now on day 25 of hard mode. No P, no M, and no O unless its by a dream. I amworking towards 90 days to get my DE fixed. The encouraging words of support from the fellow fapstronauts have been great and really help me when the times are rough. Together we can reach our goals or returning to a healthy life. Stay strong!
