    Im having a hard time figuring out what forum to post this in so if it needs moved that is fine. So i'm just curious because for me it's like when i started posting here I was embarrassed, but the more I explore the community and set my own goals, its almost something i wish i could tell others about without feeling weird. Like it shouldn't feel weird to post on facebook that you went a week pmo free much like someone posts that they ran a mile today. So yeah I was just wondering how different people go about discussing this outside of nofap, or if it just goes unspoken. I really think it is a great thing and I wish more people were aware of porn addiction

    No.
    I think that there are certain things that you better to keep to yourself and this is one of them.
     
  3. My father knows I'm on this forum and he knows I encourage folks on here to stop masturbating and to stop using porn. But I don't know if he knows that I'm here to fight against PMO myself. Either he doesn't know or he knows and prefers to respect my privacy.

    My sister knows as well, but it's the same. Nobody else in my personal life is aware of it as far as I know.
     
  4. My answer to that question is do I care what others outside of this think ?answer is NO , I DO THIS FOR ME first and to help out other people on here who are going threw the same crap I went threw .

    Yeah I guess maybe using PMO is an extreme example, because I agree people outside of this dont really need to know how long you've gone without M. But I think the trying to fight porn aspect of it is actually worth discussing as a healthy lifestyle and I wish it could be more openly talked about to help others
     
  6. Nobody knows, even tho im in a fam of 4, but i go on my phone on nofap at night

    I have shared it with a couple female friends, both of whom know i watched porn. Both have also been cuddle buddies at times too. I thought it would be good to get a females prospective. In addition to that, they have bith agreed to help me rewire when the time come. At least with the conversation, holding hands, snuggling over a movie and the like. They are very good friends and are supportive. I have not and will not tell my male buddies or anyone else. I feel that having someone i can talk to along with you guys is a good thing.

    i wanted to keep this secret but everytime i get drunk i just can't stop me talking about it!
     
  9. Most people get uncomfortable about porn when you talk about addiction, masturbatiob and all the negatives. I don’t Bri g it up but will put my two cents in if it comes up

    It’s hard formuggles to get it. I’ve even seen a member who attended an addiction group IRL feet chided b/c he was a “porn Addict.”
     
  10. I told two roommates I was abstaining. One of them knows it's NoFap. They are pretty impressed by my streak. One them met another dude at a party who was on a 55 day streak. That's when I opened up and showed them my counter .

    I also told a girl that I was abstaining but I didnt say it was because of porn masturbation addiction and PIED. I told her I think I'm doing sexual transmutation brcausr I think MO is a waste of energy.

    Hell no bro that would suck, nobody knows im on nofap, i keep it personal, but nofap is awesome because you can talk openly about any problems regarding PMO and no one judges you because we are all here for the same reason

    Same, nobody knows it. Not because i do not have the courage to talk about it. Its just because its better for yourself to keep a secret.
     
  13. Hell, no. I'm sure my family won't react well for this. I could talk about it to my best friend, but he probably won't care.
     
  14. Pretty much all of my friends know that I do nofap. My close friends or on the journey with me too :). Couldn’t tell my family though... that would be awkward.
