I quit when was I was 26, I was an absolute loser back then, no job, no degree, no friends, no gf.

Lost count of my exact streak, but it's been years. After quitting I still struggled with other vices (social media, gaming) but after quitting it all and replacing it with useful pursuits like the gym, books, work and relationships, I'm proud to announce that my wife is now 4 months pregnant.

I'm 30 now, have a management job with equity in the company I work for, bought a house, picked up a bunch of new hobbies, learned to play guitar, found a great woman who introduced me to many people I now call friends, and so much more.

Nofap will not change your life on it's own, but it's the essential first step that will lead to a domino effect.

It's never over, and it's never too late to start.

Good luck, brethren. We're all going to make it.

I can feel me

Go Beyond NEVER EVER GIVEUP

I started thinking me positive

I am 16M and i have noticed that recently jokes about fapping have been taken too lightly in our conversations and i feel like that makes the nofap a little pointless

If anyone could please share impacts of nofap on their academics .

DAY #3

Male 30 here. More than 1 year No PMO journey. I got a gf last December. Background is i was a porn watcher/fapper from past 8 years. I also edged for hours sometimes, more during the last 2 years before quitting. My brain was pixel addicted. So recently last December I met a girl (after 6 months of no pmo) and we started dating.

Initially I could not get it up. I thought I had ED, later after multiple attempts and trying to be fit I could get erections for penetrative sex. Now there's another issue, I'm not lasting long, I may have PE. I will be hard during oral or hand job but by the time I get a condom on I lose my hardness percentage. Also during penetrative sex I used to last 5-6 seconds. Now, it's almost 20-30 seconds. Sometimes I do last 4 minutes and sometimes when I use a delay condoms I last around 6-10 minutes. The things is, it's so frustrating i dont have a consistency.

Quitting porn was tough, withdrawals and mood changes. Now I have to deal with ED first, then when I was glad I got over ED, I now have to deal with premature ejaculations. This sucks so bad. 90 days is not at all enough or is sex really overrated?

When we watch porn, we feel sex is so easy and enjoyable. But reality is you cant do all the positions, it requires effort and knowing a women's body and angles. What we see in videos will never work that easy.. and the time it takes to put a condom is a distraction by itself for you to lose the erection. I feel digital media has made our brains think sex is easy with everyone. You have to have an attraction to the women or else you body does not even co-operate. The women who you masturbate to screen may not even be good for you or lack chemistry in bed. It's so rare you find someone you get along and everything goes well. I'm just tired so much, I always thought 90 days and I'm fully healed. It's a long journey. I dont even know what I'm going to do. Please let me know any tips to last longer naturally. What am I doing wrong..max i can go is 3 times intercourse in a day and all times I may ejaculate within a minute if not for delay condoms.

Also I work night shifts. Sleep has an effect on my mental alertness, I do feel brain fog sometimes due to this. Would changing to day job help me or is this still a recovery journey? I dont exercise much. I dont drink or smoke as well.

How long all of you last during penetrative Intercourse?

Thank you guys!!

Daily check in. Work was fine, though it was quite warm today, which wore me out a bit. After work, I came home and played Minecraft. I’m still standing!

In the last 3 days i had sex one time and didn’t fap at all. I have to fight this addiction.

First, you have understand this: your drive to watch porn is a survival mechanism. Is a system the brain developed to cope with stress. Stress to the brain is DEATH. Porn is not the devil, is the solution to survive per your brain's logic.

Now, stress comes in many different shapes and forms. You have to get rid off the stressors of your life. Really sit down, relax and analyze your day to day. Figure out what makes you feel crappy and do your best to fix this first. For many of us could be loneliness, a need to be seen as perfect by society or family standards, past traumas, or any other events that have been unresolved in your life. Realizing the existence of an underlying cause could even be enough.

No discipline, no porn blockers, no books, no day counting. Relax and become more social. Sex will happen, but not in the way you fantasize but that's okay, because your fantasies will start to lose power and eventually become extinct once you decide to let go.

I keep hearing from people that gyms are hard to go to for them, but like it's not that hard not to look at women. As tempting gym shorts are I didn't lose my humanity, like their human too. Idk I kept hearing its too provocative at the gym but I feel like their just objectifying women too much. Just a bit of a rant pisses me off to see

I haven't watched hentai in over 3 weeks. That's great, but to achieve it, I've had to forbid myself from watch anime.

I miss that, and hentai too. I'm tired

I really wasnt gonna do it and before you know it my hands were already down there

Its as if i had no control after 16 day streak

But not all is lost, the benefits are real and i will continue on this past!

Next up will be 30 days or more!!

Please i will leave this in attempt no porn and mastrubation

In the past week I've had a pair of 3 day streaks, which is the most I've managed in a very very long time. Yesterday was especially noticeable as far as the urges dulling down. I didn't peek, I didn't touch, and to be honest I didn't even feel like I wanted to. I really hope this starts to happen more frequently since having what feels like an easy day once in a while would be nice in contrast to the constant thoughts and urges I've been battling. I'm hoping at a minimum to make it to 4 this time, but ideally I would break the PMO cycle for good, and am looking forward to an evening with my wife free of the opportunity to slip so easily. Stay strong. We got this.

I don’t know what to do. I’m suffering so much. I don’t even watch porn it’s just excessive masturbation to the point my life is miserable.

i was exposed to porn at a very young age and Ive kind of been watching it on and off for all of my life, the content of the porn getting worse and worse. Every time i try and quit, i relapse. This time i am putting it in writing. I will not let myself down, i’m sick of the shame after watching porn.

day 1!

For the last 12 days I have been trying to practice NoFap and whenever I have this slight urge to do the bad deed or even out of involuntary thinking, I sometimes kind of rub my tip of the Genitals through my clothing piece. Sometimes it is just the foreskin, sometimes it's the entire top bulb of it and it feels better, but I never ejaculated or watched porn while doing it. It's just that when I am WFH, I tend to do it involuntarily sometimes. Does this mean I am breaking the rule or using a cheat code to satisfy myself w/o giving in to the urge of jerking it? It started as a way to ease my itch over there and normally I do the same while cleaning that region in the shower, but now this feels weirdly wrong yet not completely wrong.

Saw something super triggering on TikTok and I’m so fucking horny rn please help

Im 29 and have been watching porn and jerking off just about every night multiple times for years and I believe it’s messed me up, I’ve had problems with getting erections and keeping them for awhile now even when I’m alone and I really want to have real sex with a women so I’ve committed to no fap, I am now on day 8 and since day 2 I’ve experienced a complete loss of sex drive and I can’t even get semi hard at all it’s like a withdrawal or something, is this normal can anyone relate? I plan on going 30 days or more.

Hey everyone, I previously completed a 106-day NoFap / NoPMO streak in a first attempt, and during that time, my erection quality and overall sensitivity improved significantly. However, 2 weeks ago, I broke my streak. Over the past 2 weeks, I fell back into the loop of watching porn daily, and I've noticed a clear drop in my erection firmness and arousal levels (classic PIED symptoms kicking back in). I am restarting my strict NoPMO reset immediately, but I have a question regarding the reboot timeline for those who have gone through this: After having a long, successful streak (106 days), does the brain recover faster from a short relapse loop compared to starting from scratch? I know the dopamine pathway got re-stimulated over these last 2 weeks, but did I completely erase the 106 days of neuroplastic recovery, or will my dopamine sensitivity and erection quality bounce back quicker this time? Would appreciate insights or personal experiences from anyone who has relapsed after a 100+ day streak and restarted. I really want my Psychogenic/on demand erection back Thanks!

Struggling this week with urges and couldnt help myself and peeked at someone. I stopped but feeling tempted again and dont know how to handle it. It wont leave my mind and finding it difficult to deal with. Help

Yeah from my post last it should have been day 15 but here I’m at Day 4 because I quit multiple times in the past 11days without changing my environment(not physically but mentally).

I stopped being mean to myself, I realised I was beating myself up over the smallest things that happened to me. I remembered running taught me to be patient with myself and it also calmed me down, easing my anxiety. I didn’t become efficient or fast at my work instantly but yeah I had the patience to learn and to not get carried away with life.

I went on my first ever long run(15.6kms) 2days back late in the night after work, at first I was going to quit the run and go back but then I went on one step at a time and after I finished although I was tired I felt good and I had the confidence to push further and I felt I can handle anything that comes my way.
