For me, I started trying to rid myself of PMO around 13. I officially started NoFap yesterday. What about you guys? When did you feel the call to action?
Just started this evening. Need to make this change as its taking over my life. I am in control of my own life, not my urges. Good luck to you on your journey here!
I started 15 years ago with having some streaks for once or twice a year. Since two years I seriously try to get the streaks longer and the relapsing phases inbetween shorter. Since then I feel a very strong call to reduce masturbation and having orgasms to as close to zero as possible.
I was trying to quit this since my graduation years But I was not sure about it's harmful effects back then After joining nofap I enlightened myself And my determination become strong with valid reasons
After many futile attempts over many years to stop PMO on my own (and going ever deeper into addiction), I found NoFap in November 2017. It has been a lifesaver!! Over 9 months PM free.
2008. After a few years of relapses, I quit porn for good in 2010 (although I did stumble upon erotic writing, I usually tended to skip over those or tube them out. Not the best to think about, but it wasn’t a turn-on either). I still have MO issues (as well as some P-subs) that escalated in 2016-17, so I came here at the end of ‘17.
2014. The day after my psychology tutor showed us a video about the effects of porn addiction on the brain, and a meme of Alduin saying "there are some hungers it is better to deny than feed /Nofap"
June 29. I've been suffering enough for a long time but I just did not think the PMO could be the cause. But after I realized my problem I've been clean since then.
Dec 13, 2013 I realized that porn and masturbation was an addiction in my life. I've been clean probably half the time. maybe alittle better.
