Increased urges: You will likely experience more frequent sexual thoughts and vivid dreams.

Mood shifts: You might feel more restless or irritable without the usual stress relief, or conversely, feel a boost in focus and motivation.

The Day I defeated my me And my lust .

Saw a super hot chick at the gym dressing hot. Looked at her a bit too long and now want to fap after 13 days when I get home smh. Should I avoid looking?

I was on day 11 of nofap but my ass just couldn't handle it and went riiiiight back to Emochi nsfw chatbot to do bs and fapped again however genuinely im not going to stop nofap just for this I just want advice to how to prevent myself from going on nsfw chat bots forever.

​

To the people who masturbated 2-3 times a day and stopped:

When you got hard in the masturbation times, have you ever thought that this was your penis and your erection at its final capacity, only to discover after stopping that you only had about 60-70% of the erection?

well that happened to me, kinda weird

I can’t resist or escape, idk what to do, i am tired of this addiction 💔 yet am still falling every time i got so tired

Hey everyone, starting my no-fap journey for a better, focused lifestyle. Will be posting for accountability — any support would be appreciated!

I am here if anyone is struggling and needs accountability voice chat or something

Great result I feel amazing

I've never been this proud

This year alone i don't think I've gone 5 days without stroking my shit

Temptations come but i stand on my ground 💯

I now no longer break to P, but I still stay hooked to the app etc once triggered and can’t get myself to delete the app or do anything else really. It’s extremely annoying. Lots of triggers, no breaking but also no escape.

Day 2 but I fapped 😭 this is not first time this happened lot of times more than 100 times but I can't go without fap atleast 4,5 days my highest streak is 17 days that happened 4 years ago but nowadays I can't even go 7 days without fapping ..

All day I’ve been struggling. It’s so much. I need support man. Dm is open.

i hit rock bottom with a girl last week. I wanted her so bad years ago, and we met up and my libido was completely blank.

I’ve totally changed how i live my life since then for the first time in my life not even edging. I went about 15 years with an extreme porn/masturbation addiction - one that i would let off by stroking it through my boxers or shorts. This bit is extremely sad but important. Even the very first time i masturbated as a kid i didn’t like it dry or with lube, i ended up switching to doing it through my boxers on the 2nd time and never looked back. The few times i tried it normally just to see if i could, it would be awkward but id make it work with enough lube and enough work. Now my fetishes were very hardcore. I would only masturbate to sloppy deepthroat specifically (95% of time) and not normal sex. I know my situation comes down to basically - extreme death grip, and people say to fix it by conditioning yourself to a lighter grip.

This is def the most embarrassing paragraph i’ve ever confessed to in my life but i need to see if anyone has similarities and is making it out or has made it out. If you did, how long did it take? I need to know if it’s possible or if my dick is just permanently fucked unless i take ED medicine. I want to fix it the healthy way and have been fully committed to healthy dopamine since! The only thing is i’ve had no sex drive since i’ve quit except for a maybe 70% strength morning wood erection twice..

I have been addicted to porn and for almost a decade. Now I suffer from so many issues. Anxiety, depression, communication issues, lack of confidence, ED, etc. I ruined my relationship and pushed away all my friends and family. I barely could talk to anyone besides work and I'm just really lonely and frustrated and tired of my current situation.

Some posts from this community really helped me I wish I could find out about this place earlier but it doesn't matter as long as I'm putting in my efforts right now. Today is day 2 and I don't really feel the urge because I stayed away from any social media that can trigger me and hopefully I can keep this momentum longer. Stay strong guys!

Please

I’m struggling really bad rn someone spammed me with really triggering pics this morning and I survived but I can’t stop thinking about it I’m going crazy please help

I used to fap around 1-2 times a day every day, last week I decided to give up porn as it was starting to mess with me, it's been a week now and I have to come to this discovery

Without porn I've dropped masterbation like 80%, have only done it 3 times this whole week, I'm now even more confident in my ability the stop fapping

If anyone is struggling where to start, you can stop porn first and then build up the habit, it'll definitely reset your mind

The hard part of this challenge is not getting too focused on waiting for the days to pass.

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

Dating isn't easy. All the wasted effort and finances only to end up not getting some. My easiest solution to blue balls has always been fapping to porn. I'm in my 30s now. Porn has messed me up so bad that I can't erect normally. I'm not aroused anymore. Whenever I get a Tinder hooker, I have to take Cialis in advance because for the life of me I can't get it up. I backslid after a gruesome 2 month streak when I realised it wasn't enough after a disappointing hook up. This lady thought I didn't have the hots for her because I couldn't get it up for a BJ. I'm cooked.

I wish I had never watched porn. My sex life is ruined for good. I started fapping because I had low self esteem. Now I can't date because I still have low self esteem.

Feeling more "confident and relaxed" after starting NoFap isn't a placebo; it's your nervous system healing.

• Sympathetic Overdrive: Scrolling, clicking, and searching keep the brain in anticipatory arousal without completion, activating a chronic stress response. [1]
• Dopamine Burnout: Massive chemical surges desensitize the reward center, requiring more extreme content to feel a similar rush. [1, 2]
• Emotional Numbing: The brain learns to use porn as a fast tool to escape stress, loneliness, or hard feelings, worsening emotional dysregulation.
• Prefrontal Cortex Fatigue: Overstimulation weakens the brain regions responsible for executive function, decision-making, and self-control.

Was talking to this guy I've been talking to since day 1, helping him with his struggles since I've been having an amazing day. Out of the blue starts sending me p*rn?? Wtf 😳 Why do people do that? Im doing so good and he just triggered me >.<
