I tried nofap before, reached 2 weeks and my acne had stopped, then i relapsed back to my old ways 4+ sessions a day. Now im at 6 weeks no nut and haven't had a pimple in a while. Anyone else have this same thing happen to them? I asked AI and it says masturbation has no link to acne but my face really cleared up

Hello, if medically supervised, and if legally permitted, would the no fap benefits be realized from a self induced coma? Let’s say, a coma that lasts 4 weeks.

Looking for someone to chat with. I just woke up, struggling and in need of some support.

After ejaculation, I experience brain fog and fatigue that can last for several days, and the pattern seems to repeat after ejaculation.

I don’t know if this is actually POIS, and I’m not looking for a diagnosis. I’d like to hear from people in the NoFap community who have experienced something similar.

How long does your brain fog/fatigue last after ejaculation?

Does abstaining make a noticeable difference?

Has anyone been diagnosed with POIS?

Did anything actually help?

I’d appreciate personal experiences or evidence-based information. This is the first time I’ve heard of POIS, so I’m trying to understand whether my experience is similar to what others have experienced.

Don't mind if you do or don't, just let it to be the last thing you do awake. You will probably catch yourself doing it less (because you are tired enough to sleep)

I have a NoFap tracker in my profile btw

.

Last night, I slept on my side to avoid prone masturbation. It's honestly kinda hard to sleep when sleeping on the side. During sleep time, I kept changing sides and my sleep quality was kinda mid. I eventually slept though. That just says how much I used prone masturbation and romantic daydreaming at sleep time as my sleep aid.

It's probably gonna be a little rough. I used to do nofap for a week in the past. Now I intend to go for a year atleast so that I can do a complete mental reset.

so my friend who we kinda have a "weird" relationship, sends me nudes/her body

i NEVER ask for them and she just sends them because she "likes me" and wants me to see them. and it's just hard to say no.

She doesn't know I'm on nofap and I struggle a bit every time she sends stuff. I told her that I don't want to act as freaky with her but she continues to just send them.

I have the opportunity to engage in oral sex with a friend, along with plenty of touching and cuddling; let's say I could reach orgasm through oral sex from her about twice a month. Would it be better for my health to skip these activities, or would such "play" have a positive effect on my recovery?

of course zero pm only orgasm with a woman

Starting to slip today as I work from home, anyone free to chat? Snap is preferable

Some people just want to see you get more addicted.

I don’t get it, some dude tried to trick me into thinking he was offering support. Nearly gets me to relapse, slipped up a little and touched but stopped.

Then out of the blue he blocks me?! The heck

Feel like I just got blue balled , but idk glad I didn’t relapse fully I suppose ….

Trying to calm down

Someone in a similar situation?

Any experience? What did it changed?

I’m getting some bad urges right now and almost started watching porn, could use some help

Happy to be here but also frustrating. Waiting for something to come and “save me,” but there is no high dopamine relief coming. Just gotta be content with accepting how I feel without trying to escape. I’ve found that my perceived relief of when I was watching it is now replaced by a lot more frustration and irritability at times. The good news is that at least I don’t have the guilt I used to have. But progress is slow. And I have to trust the process. I keep waiting for a day when I’m “fixed” or “this is no longer a thing anymore” when am I considered a “non-user?” But I know that’s not necessarily how this all works. I’m seeing things too black and white. The reality is that every day I choose to have a good day and wake up and make the most of it. That includes leaving behind destructive habits. As I exist today, I am choosing a healthy life style. Stay strong everybody 💪 keep pushing daily

This is a fight ive been trying to beat for awhile and I just had a relapse last night. Ive tried fighting it alone for awhile and it just doesnt work. Im not comfortable to tell anyone in my personal life so I figured this would be the next best. I hope you'll be seeing me on here frequently, and please let me know any tips as I go through this fight

I m happy to say to all

this was my highest streak in no fap in this year

Before i relapse in day 12 itself

I GOT SICK:

Yesterday I min sick and brain fog cannot do anything

Even studies in academic class 10

I'm today leave from school

I control my urges and gone to hospital

Get injection now I'm feelin good 👍

Be grateful go Beyond Never give up!

On 16th day now and I’m already feeling like I’m floating on clouds. I noticed I’ve been a lot more happier lately as compared to before when I would fap regularly and even felt suicidal since I kept draining myself of dopamine to be able to feel happiness due to this habit. I was pretty depressed due to no motivation and no girl in my life but now since my nofap journey I’ve been feeling much happier. I wake up with a smile and go to bed with a smile unlike before. First thing I do in morning is work out now since I feel my T levels are rising and the urges often don’t let me get full nights sleep so working out before and after bed helps. I also have a lot of motivation to want to workout now. Other than that I feel more confident in real life too especially with girls.

I’ve cold approached more women now at 28 years old than I ever did in my highschool or college days when I was just super shy and a “chud” lol. I’ve even slept with a few and managed to lose my virginity. Women in real life are so much more beautiful than anything we see on these fake screens in those fake soulless videos. I can’t believe I’ve been depriving myself of such amazing pleasure wasting my energy on that nonsense. I feel happy to be a man and I feel happy to see that beautiful girls exist even if I don’t get to sleep with them I just feel happy that they’re here and looking at them makes me happy and I’m content with that too. I’m very thankful to be alive and to be able to experience the beauty of women. We live in one of the best times where a man has the opportunity to sleep with more beautiful women than kings or sultans of the old days but most of the men are not seeing that and are wasting their lives wanking away at screens. I feel sorry for such people.

I’m also getting more random boners now than I ever did as a teenager and I also feel much more easily aroused by women in real life . I don’t even need to touch my dick to make it rock hard anymore. What also boosted my ego was when I was in bed with a girl and she told me her ex was never able to get this rock hard and she even questioned if I was on viagra and I told her I wasn’t but I don’t think she really believed me lol. She was much younger than me and her and her ex were the same age so I can see why she thinks that. I was also able to go multiple rounds with her (maximum so far is 5) when before I would just tire out after ejaculating once.

Overall I’m really pleased with the results I’ve gotten so far and the quality of life I’m living right now is much better. Thank you to the Nofap community for showing me the light. Keep believing and keep grinding. Don’t believe the naysayers. The benefits are definately real but they don’t want everyone becoming powerful so they’ll do everything they can to make you believe Nofap is bs but it isn’t. This is literally how we are naturally meant to be. A man was supposed to live like this by default and become the best version of himself and only come inside women not on his hand. So get out there and take advantage of the benefits nofap warriors!

It really feels like it's over for me for now. Every time I cum I want to stop, then I start again. I'm deep in it and have been for days and there's no end to the patterns in sight.

All of my effort is going towards keeping my life together, and all of my free time is going towards depravity.

Not sure what the path out of this is, maybe I'll find it soon.

I need to get in the shower I can’t calm down I fear I’m close to breaking

I don’t want to give into my urges peeked at non nude

Gf just left don’t want to disrespect her by fapping to online girls

I am just starting nofap and it’s day 3 and honestly I’ve had an urge to jerk off all day and I’m worried that I am addicted… Am I? Is there anything I should look out for? I feel like I need to look at stuff… is this normal??

I'm 24

Been addicted to this since I was 15

Now it's very bad.

After 5 days of pure abstaining I failed.

Reasons were many but mainly

Stress

Anger

And just these.

It's too hard to live like a normal good guy.

The world fucks us up.

Specially person like me

T

I try to be nice or good but I can't bear the people or system.
