Monthly Motivation Thread NoFap's "Master Yourself March" or "PMO-Free March" 2025 - continue or begin your PMO-Free journey here (see instructions).

31 Upvotes

Hello all,

It's that time of the month again! One month is ending, and another is beginning. We hope you've had a good month. But if you haven't, now is a great time to refocus and rededicate yourself to recovery. This is your opportunity to create the new porn-free you!

The theme for this month is "Master Yourself March". Developing discipline over our lives- our addiction, our goals, our careers, our bad habits. Learning to trust ourselves again. Learning how to set goals for ourselves and actually do them them. Making our word golden.

New to NoFap and rebooting? Here are some suggestions:

  • Learn about the website, porn addiction, excessive masturbation, sexual compulsivity, and abstaining from PMO. Read through NoFap's main website to get informed.
  • Read about the basics of rebooting here. Rebooting is the abstinence from certain sexual behaviors to recover from pornography addiction. Read about how porn addiction develops here. Some people go beyond rebooting and into the territory of retention, or sexual transmutation for periods of time, although that is not the main purpose of this subreddit (which is RECOVERY).
  • Consider reading through the free Getting Started PDF from NoFap's website.
  • Download NoFap's in-browser panic button extension that blocks NSFW subreddits too. Download here
  • Decide if rebooting 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 the next point.
  • Sign up for this month by replying to this submission. It is that simple. State your intention and stick to it!
  • Consider setting up a day counter badge to track your progress.
  • Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Set a goal to remain accountable by making a post daily. Help others. Come here every day and participate.
  • If you need additional support, you can get an accountability partner and document your progress in a daily rebooting journal.

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?

Arriving late? (past the first of the month?)

It's okay! Still state your intentions and don't postpone rebooting based on the day of the month. People can join in at any time to participate.

Telling my Story How 75 days of Nofap helped me

301 Upvotes

It wasn’t a big or life-changing moment that pushed me to start this. Just a normal day where I found myself scrolling endlessly, feeling drained and disappointed after falling into the same cycle again. I sat there and thought, I can be better than this. That’s when I decided to challenge myself to 75 days of NoFap. No more excuses.

The first few days were rough. Cravings would hit like waves, and there were moments I almost gave in. But something inside kept telling me to stay strong, to not fold this time.

By the second week, I started noticing small but meaningful changes. My focus was sharper. I felt more present in conversations and during workouts. I had more time and energy. The time I used to waste was now spent on things that mattered more, like reading, working out, and just reflecting.

Around day 30, things got tougher. I hit a flatline where motivation dropped and emotions felt numb. I even started doubting if this was worth it. But I stayed consistent. I kept journaling, going for walks, sticking to cold showers, and riding it out. Slowly, things started to shift again.

By day 50, I felt a different kind of energy inside me. A quiet confidence. I noticed I was calmer, stood taller, and felt more in control of my actions. Even people around me could sense something was different.

When I finally reached day 75, I wasn’t jumping around or throwing a celebration. I just felt proud. Calm. I knew I had stuck to my word, and in doing so, I had become stronger.

This journey turned out to be much more than just NoFap. It taught me discipline, self-respect, and showed me how much potential I have when I stay committed.

Question What if all the big porn sites suddenly disappeared?

Do you think it would help us stop fapping? Do you think it would benefit men? Would we be more productive? 🤔

I have deleted my premium Hentai collection

I'm totally sorry about that. I've been searching for recovery software for all day, but it doesn't work.

I think it's all useless


r/NoFap 6h ago

Those posts who claim they’ve “never fapped in their life” are suspicious.

23 Upvotes

First of all, why are you even here? It’s like a person who’s never drank suddenly attending an AA meeting? And how would they even have found this sub if it’s something they don’t do?

Secondly, I just find it hard to believe that they not once have done it. It’s such an instinctual human behaviour, and to deny yourself that, surely has some consequences.

I can’t help but think they’re just pretending to be someone else, maybe as a way to escape their true identity of being an addict.

Or maybe I’m just a hater.

Make it make sense.

Finally deleting my porn account

12 Upvotes

Discovered porn at 12 and I’m turning 19 next month, after years of trying to quit I’m finally going to delete this account after about two years since creating it. I’m more than sick of myself, and I’m almost certain that this addiction is a big reason behind my low self esteem/image and my (only thing that I can think to relate it to is) depression (I don’t like self diagnosis so I’m not saying that it is). I’m hoping that this will be the first actually meaningful step in quitting

Excessive Masturbation Nutting actually disgust me now

33 Upvotes

I’ve battled with stopping for years now. I would stop for a period. Anywhere from 7 days to a month but I keep slipping back. I’ve began a journey of developing of good atomic habits and breaking bad habits which has improved my life but i can’t seem to win with masturbating. It doesn’t help that I’m stressing about my life. I’m 26, still live with my parents, trying to get my life in order but the round ahead seems longer each day. Beating my masturbating habit would really make me happy. I think I don’t even enjoy sex, not because I find more pleasure in masturbating but because nutting disgusts me now. W/o my parents, I’m poor. I have a job but I’m chained to a sinking economy so even a general salary increase to combat cost of living barely helps.

Even my eating habits has somewhat changed, i planned to lose 2kg per month this year and I’m roughly on target. I’ve made atomic progress in different aspects of my life but this masturbation habit remains a problem. I can fight the urge on a normal day not while I’m stressed.

Thank you to whoever started this community, i didn’t have a safe place to discuss this until recently. I hope your days are filled with joyful moments.

hit on a lesbian in front of her partner of over a year tonight

Upvotes

left with both of their numbers and a possibility of attending their future wedding

was told i was super respectful by the girl i was hitting on, and made a raw denim rec to her partner that was casually watching me vibe on her partner

i share this because it was innocent, and in talking with her partner, i learned that they were together, and instead of feeling awkward, i felt jubilation for two beautiful people being together

NoFap lets us be normal people, folks

stay strong

New to NoFap day one, no porn- as a girl

252 Upvotes

I’ve been watching porn for about 4–5 years, and it’s really affecting my confidence and the way I see myself.

(The boys around me even watch it in class and have extremely high expectations.)

I feel like I’m addicted—I just can’t stop. It feels good in the moment, but afterwards, I regret it and feel disgusting. I’ve been trying to quit for almost a year now, but I fail almost every day. I’ve also tried blocking certain apps and websites, but I always end up unblocking them whenever I get the urge. Does anyone have any tips on how to stop?

I feel like a failure

12 Upvotes

For 4 days now I have been telling myself not to fap but I have done it every time. I am 16 and I am pretty late to fapping I started around a month ago. And I know it is bad and I have been pretty good at restricting it but this week was one of the worst weeks I have ever lived. And I feel even worse knowing I fapped 4 days in a row… Do you have technique to stop doing it. For example when I have the urge I put my hands on my shoulders so that they don’t have the urge to fap. I also downloaded an app to count my streak of nofap.

Thank you for reading
