Just discovered this whole nofap thing/my story.

Welcome bro! I, as all here, know very well what you are talking about. You will find lot of useful advice and stories here.

Write me a line or too if you feel so.

 

As another “religious” dude who likes dudes, I understand your struggle. How does your faith and your sexuality interact or conflict? What have you decided to do about that? I’m thankful you are taking this on now instead of waiting until you are my age.

 

Welcome @Rain&Glitter, I'm glad you're here. I can really identify with a lot of what you said, although I'm 30 years older than you. I think you've come to the right place. If I can help, don't hesitate to ask.

 

Hey @Rain&Glitter ,

Welcome to NoFap! You are in the right place. My experience here is that I needed to:

1. Learn the NoFap program.

2. Get involved with the community.

The best resource I found was the “Getting Started with NoFap” guide. It is on the NoFap homepage and you can download it for free from this link https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/

Then, watch this video:



It is really good and explains so much about how the blasting of porn images into the brain in high definition on high speed internet while slamming porn sounds into the ears with headphones can literally change the way your brain demands sexual stimulation.

The video explains it better than I can.

Also, a great page is https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ my experience is that by reading every link and watching every video, I learned so much.

Then, I got involved with the community. I'm not anyone special on here, I don't have any magic powers. But, I can say hello to new members, post my journal entries, remember to “like” peoples posts, and offer my experience, strength and hope where appropriate.

Looking forward to seeing you around on the forums,

L

PS - Think of pmo like a wolf. Stay near the center of the group with the winners and the wolf has a more difficult time finding you. But, stray near the edges of the community and the wolf can pick you off.

 

For me NoFap is 1/2 program & 1/2fellowship. Click on these people and post a "hello" on their profiles:

One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals.

I've included journals from all age groups, spiritual members, religious members, secular members, male and female. You should find journals that help. If not, look around, there are hundreds of others from which to choose. When I say "it works if you work it", reading journals is part of that work.

Once you open a journal, click "Watch Thread" in the upper right of the page to get alerts when new posts are made. Here are just a few:

There are many more, and you can discover them on your own. But, these are great places to start.

This is a work in progress. So, if a journal has changed or is no longer active, look around there are some amazing journals on here.

Welcome brother - you have come to the right place to deal with PMO addiction and also the compulsion to see people through a sexual lens instead of the spiritual beings that God created.
This has been an ongoing issue for me too (and I am attracted to both guys and girls, so it has been a major issue to deal with). However, this is a place of healing - and I am sure that you will benefit from all learning and interactions you have here. Please feel free to ask any questions - we are here to help!

 

Welcome to Nofap.

 

Lust can take over our lives. I am so glad you are here. Welcome. HERE are some things helping me.
