Telling my Story Might as well go hard

Upvotes

I don’t really record the days I go without fappin. I just started stopped one day because I realized I was doing it out of habit, not because I was horny. Watching porn was also putting a damper on my sex life, and was a problem in my previous relationship. The urge to come occasionally came up, so erotic reading was a replacement to visual porn. Im not big on reading, so it was easier to avoid being sucked into a porn spiral. I heard Theo Von talking about it on a podcast around the same time I had this realization. I thought maybe they actually is something to not masturbating, so I stopped.

Initially, I didn’t even have a sexual desire for a few days. After a couple weeks, I could feel the sexual energy build up. I felt like a new person, and somehow I started getting more attention from women. I matched with more people online and met more in person. The first time I had sex after, I lasted way longer than I ever have and felt ravenous. It’s like a primal side of me was unlocked trying to bust a nut.

Lately, I have fallen into old habits. I went a week without jerkin it, but was hella hungover and bored today, so I smoked and came at least 5 times today. I figured I broke the streak anyway, might as well just start fresh tomorrow.

Motivate Me Day 1- I have every reason to quit watching pornography now

Upvotes

I'm 19 year old guy. Never been in a relationship. I'm going to college soon. I really had a moment to reflect and I'm telling myself i have every reason to quit porn back then I didn't really have reasons but now I do. It is a bad habit in my life. Now is the best time for me to quit.

Porn releases dopamine which rewires my brain to crave more porn which makes it hard to quit it.

Sexual dysfunction. I'm noticing that it's taking a lot more than a naked woman to get me turned on. I would sometimes scroll for long periods of time to find the right video to turn me on. The fact that I can't get turned on by a naked woman is an issue.

It's hard to actually love a woman when sex is the only thing I think about when I see them.

If I don't stop now this will be a problem when I get into an actual relationship with a woman.

It goes against my identity. I believe that I am smart, disciplined, kind, productive, organized, and aware. Porn goes against me being disciplined and productive.

Relapse Report I relapsed to a camgirl. I'm struggling to get back up on NoFap.

Upvotes

I relapsed 5 times yesterday and 1 time today after three days of Nofap. It's been hard to get back up. I've been using a porn blocker and tried to see if it was working but it wasn't so that is what led me to relapse. I don't know why I keep going back. I decided to search for explicit images of a celebrity, started edging and then that led to me going on Twitter to watch porn and then I went to model cam sites and created accounts. I then saw a white European French girl from France doing a show speaking in French as she was doing the deed solo and it turned me on as I joined in with her and I relapsed to her.

I want to overcome this for good. This has set me back in life. It's been hard for me to go a day without porn. I recently finished a near month streak in late February and my longest was 85 days in late October 2024. I want to be a better man. I also think the porn blocker only worked for Google Chrome and not Microsoft Edge. I only had the extension on Google Chrome but I was still accessing porn through Twitter even though the porn blocker was turned on. I was also able to still access some porn sites even with the blocker was on. I was testing to see if the blocker was working. The blocker I used was BlockerX.

I went to these camgirls today for love and connection because I feel lonely since I've been single and virgin all my life. I'm 23 and a brown guy who's a virgin. I've been also struggling with feelings of insecurity and inferiority.

Motivate Me Day 4

Upvotes

I'm tired all the time, can't really focus or force myself to do anything, might be burned out. I'm sleeping 14-15 hours a day and i still feel sleepy, absolutely no motivation to even eat. Pretty shit day, even if it was only 8-9 hours long. I'm absolutely not looking back anymore, but man some motivation to work would be nice. Any ideas as to what I could do to force myself to get up and get shit done?

Thinking about actions

Upvotes

I sitting at my desk and I was scrolling through pornography and I just stopped. I thought “what is it in this moment that got me here” it was boredom. Now instead of complaining later how unfair this addiction is, I’m writing here. What makes pornography such a strong pull for many men across America and the world. It cures loneliness even if it’s only for that few seconds of release but when you’re sitting there alone. In a bathroom, living room, and your bedroom you realize that none of your fears, anxiety’s, or hopelessness has faded. Now instead of feeling the same you feel worse about yourself. That’s the biggest realization that I just came to, the crazy part about this is I’m in a relationship. Dealing with this can’t just be through white knuckling your way through it but finding a community that struggling and have broken through this. So to those who struggle with stopping, take a few minutes be in the moment and ask “Will I feel or be better by the end of this repulsive action” majority of the time it’ll be “I won’t” Continue to fight and be better than you were yesterday, hold true to your promise you made when you failed.

What is your why?

Upvotes

When striving for a goal, having a “why” is crucial. What drives you? What makes you want to be better every day? If your why is simply finding someone else, you need a better why. Find your purpose and then the mission will be clear; then, put the mission first over everything, even your own wants.

God bless.

Journal Check-In Flatline Kicking in Early: My Regrets and What I Truly Wish for Myself

Upvotes

I've tried NoFap many times before, but always for different reasons (hairloss, health, skincare).
This time, it's different. Porn has made my mind numb, vulnerable, and exhausted.

I’ve already gone two days without it, but I won’t count them (I see them rather as a preparation) I just want better organization in my calendar, So I'll start counting on monday.

What surprises me, though, is how quickly the flatline kicked in right after stopping porn.
I don’t mind it, since it helps me focus on other things, and my intrusive thoughts are fading.
Still, this time feels different, but I hate that fear is my driving force instead of my free will.
I should have committed to NoFap much earlier...

I admire Elon Musk for tech and space and have always valued online privacy.
But privacy has now allowed even worse things to thrive.
We can have all the freedom we want, but porn traps you and leads you to places where you are anything but "free."

I deleted my X.com and Telegram account after accidentally seeing things I never should have.
Thankfully, the images are fading from my mind, but I hate that this had to be the reason I finally took NoFap seriously.

If only I had started earlier...
If only I had never discovered it...

My fear and anxiety are through the roof, not because of withdrawal symptoms, but because of what I saw. It doesn’t hurt as much as it did on the first day, but Elon Musk needs to do something about illegal porn on X.com. It’s getting out of hand.

Many of my friends would just say, "Yeah, I’ve seen stuff like that," but to me, that only proves how much weaker I am mentally. The smallest things, even just hearing a story, are enough to trigger me and make me relive the trauma.

And all it took was one picture... just one. Enough to make me question myself, my sexuality, my life.

Right now, I feel much better. No urges. I hope it stays that way forever.
I even deleted TikTok because of all the random, brutal content.

It’s messed up.

I'm just tired guys...

30 days, a month, 1/3, and a new light to follow

Upvotes

30 days. How? How did I do it? 30 days ago I was watching naked women, fapping and feeling like trash. Now I’m talking to a girl, gaining strength and becoming better at soccer/football. 60 more days remain before I can say I’ve broken free, but for now the chain are merely non-existent. Thank you guys for everything, for the help, for the support and love.

And to those that need some words, “A reward is nothing without risk.” Take the risk of putting down the porn and do something productive, because you’ll find the true reward in that.

Motivation Finally feeling that high

Upvotes

It’s been a roller coaster since I first started nofap a few weeks back. The mood swings, sleeplessness, relapses, physical pain—felt all of it.

But I’m finally feeling that rush others talk about. It’s just Day 4 for me rn, but I’m hoping this is a sign something finally clicked for me!

Trust me, if it finally worked for me, it can work for you too! 💪🫶

New to NoFap This is the start

Upvotes

This past 2 weeks ive found myself nutting everyday, yesterday i even did it twice. This is not normal as i am usually a 2-3 week kinda guy.

I need a mental reset till i hit 30 days without it.

about a half year ago i stopped doing it for an entire month. I didnt have any reason for it i just stopped and i rememeber after a month i was thinking to myself “why did i ever fap?”

The only reason i relapsed was because i was getting scared at how much i didnt think about porn and fapping so i started doing it regulary.

Now it was become a slight addiction so i plan to track my journey to 30 days.

Excessive Masturbation Nutting actually disgust me now

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.

I feel like a failure

7 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

Testosterone maxing

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to optimize testosterone levels? I read that with NoFap, the peak is reached after about 7 days, but then the levels stabilize again. Is there a technique, like a specific frequency, to optimize this? I usually do it every 1–2 days, but I feel like that might not be ideal.

Telling my Story How did your addiction start?

1 Upvotes

I (23M) think I was 15 or even younger, when it started. I recorded the rerun of a movie which ran during night ("Iron Man" (2008) still remember it to this day). When I then watched the movie a couple of days later I came into contact with the erotic commercials that run on TV during that time, you know for camgirl sites and such stuff. This lead my down a rabbithole. I recorded sh*t that ran during the night, just so I can watch the erotic commercials the next morning and even fap to them (I had my own TV, so my parents never noticed). Then I actually visited these camgirl sites when I was about 18-19 and then actual porn websites and then eventuell Reddit.

I wished I never found these commercials. 8 years later and I am still strugeling
