    Sign up for NoFap's Strokeless September 2014 in this thread!

    It's that time of the month again - hello and welcome to the official signup thread for NoFap's No Stroke September 2014!

    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 September 2014. 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, the subreddit, and other websites 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 porn-free September!

    Count me in! I will not allow myself to view pornography or other sexually explicit imagery voluntarily, to give myself sexual pleasure (edging), or to orgasm without my girlfriend. This challenge for me will last for the rest of my life. My goals are more productivity and a better relationship with my girlfriend, to name two. I've been doing this since early 2012, and the most I've done is 15 days at a time. I want to reach 90 days at the minimum.

    Count me in. I am currently on day 7 of hardmode but on 22 days of acutally no MO. I just didn't know how to reset my counter.

    So, you have a personal best of two weeks in 2.5 years. What is holding you back do you think?

    I'm in. No PMO. I want to be porn/fap free forever, but I'll do the whole month of September for now.

    I want a family and I don't want to be this kind of father to my wife and children. I want relationships built on love. Lust is the enemy of my soul. This ends here, this ends now.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Honestly, I don't think I really wanted to quit until recently. The past couple times I've relapsed have been without porn. Also, I don't think I'm serious with myself about this enough. I've enjoyed a relaxed lifestyle, only taking a handful of things seriously. I'm working on making NoFap ones of the things I take seriously.

    Do you feel that if you do it in moderation that is enough for you? Maybe you are not that addicted, who knows?

    I am not going hard mode, as i have a wonderful relationship and it is sexually perfect.
    I am going to do my best to go the rest of my life. but to start at least the full month of sept and nov.
    My goal is as stated above
    to regain my life, focus and drive at what is truly important in this world and not on any temporary instant gratification.

    cheers!

    I don't want to do it in moderation. I don't want to do it anymore at all. I don't enjoy looking at porn. I want to live life more fuller, with more productivity, happiness, peace of mind, and achievement.

    True, I may not be as addicted as some people on this forum, but I want the same end result as them. Thank you IGY. I will join you in the 3-month club soon!
     
  11. I would like to join the bandwagon here.

    My goal is hardmode for September. I have a girlfriend, probably soon to be fiancé, and we would like to hold off on sex until marriage. While we haven't technically had sex, we've O'd together, etc. During August we had no O's, but a few times got physical, like edging together.

    For September, my goal is to not even edge with my GF. And of course no Porn or Masturbation either.

    I'll need God's help to 1) either give me more strength or 2) make the temptations smaller. With my girlfriend, I know the main trick is to not let us get into situations that are compromising in the first place (ie alone together late at night). We don't live together, so it's within the realm of reason we can keep our hands off each other. We're both in agreement about our goals.

    "and lead us not into temptation..." Sometimes it's best to pray that we not even be led into the situations where we will for sure fall.

    All September I'm not going to allow myself to masturbate, watch porn, or orgasm. The only way I'll allow myself to have sexual release is through sex. I want to do this challenge for as long as I can. I want to cut masturbation completely out of my life. I have been masturbating since I was at least in the 5th or 6th grade, and now I'm a junior in high school. It's really making a negative impact on my life with confidence, anxiety, and even my energy. My goal is to not masturbate through September, and also try to do the 90 day challenge without a reset.

    I'm 100% committed and dedicated to this challenge. With university starting up, this is one thing I can kick to the dirt (or snow depending on the time of year) and truly focus and use my energy for productive, meaningful endeavours that require my entire essence.

    I've tried many times before but failed. Now I understand that it has become an addiction and my brain has been altered. This is very scary. I want to totally reboot and get my brain back to its original condition. I've never been without PMO for more than 2 weeks before, since my first PMO when I was in 11th grade.
    I'm experiencing all the symptoms of addiction. That means I've been addicted for 18 years! Gosh!
    I want to be free of this addiction as soon as possible.
    The main problem I face is the prevalence of triggers everywhere in today's world. For instance, I started my challenge yesterday, and as soon as I opened the newspaper today morning, Sharapova's color spread in bikini welcomed me in the sports page. Luckily, I remembered my challenge, and quickly turned the page over before I got sucked into the vicious cycle that would lead to PMO.
    I must keep myself so busy that I don't have time to think of this.
