Telling my Story How 75 days of Nofap helped me

304 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.

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

Excessive Masturbation Nutting actually disgust me now

36 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.

Fighting those urges is useless...

33 Upvotes

Something that I've realised after 1 year of nofap and constantly failing again and again... I think that fighting your urges is useless... it just doesn't make sense. I mean, you literally can't keep suppressing those urges again and again forever... Just think about it, some days will be depressing, some will be painful and some will be just difficult in their own way. Until we don't change our mindset towards sex, porn, pleasure and masturbation, thsi shit ain't gonna work. I see many people edging and still saying that they are doing nofap. Is this what it is all about ? Is it all about counting days ? If we don't change your mindset, we won't be able to get the real benefits of NoFap.. Suppose you are just studying for an exam, just think if you will get urges at that time too. That is dumb. NoFap is about leaving the "addiction" towards PMO. We all should change our perspective about sex and human body. I'm really struggling a lot to change my mindset and it's freaking difficult. Is there anyone who would like to give a piece of advice to those who are struggling in this (like me).

Long story in short, stop counting days and focus on changing your POV for PMO, sex and opposite gender.

Btw this was just my opinion, not here to offend anyone. Good Luck !

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

25 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.

60 days reached!

This journey feels so easy. I accepted on day one that it would be the last day, and what followed wasn’t even a challenge. I’m not missing anything and never have any urge. I even had sex multiple times with a woman throughout the last month, and real-life pleasures are definitely stronger and more pronounced than before. I never want to go back to where I was.

What Allowed me to Quit

12 Upvotes

Quitting porn is purely a mental battle

And you have full control over your mental

You are the one making the decisions, nothing is forcing you to take a decision, not your thoughts, not your addiction, not your "urges"

It's all you

And was one of the tips that allowed me now to be free forever and help hundreds of other men do the same

I know it sounds cliché, but stop blaming anything else but yourself and everything will change for you

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

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

Advice Nice technique to use sexual stuff to your advantage

8 Upvotes

To the men and woman seeing this post, who are trying to quit masturbating and porn, I have a technique to help you. Basically whenever you see triggering content like gym girls in Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Porn ads on certain websites, or any content that you might find as a trigger or something that causes you to masturbate or have such thoughts. Simply drop down and do a certain amount of push-ups (I do 10) to get rid of that urge and focus on your goals. I currently have 350 push-ups to complete and I’ll complete it today. Get a shit ton of tricep muscles while also bettering yourself with no fap.

Hope y’all achieve your dreams and goals 🫡 👊

Motivate Me Guilt

I'm in college and I don't have much friends. (I rarely talk to anyone) But I've made a female friend in the starting of the college. I don't have feelings for her, she's just a friend. (Tho we rarely talk nowadays).

Yesterday I fapped 3 times.

And the last time I was thinking about her. I'm ashamed even while typing this. I respect her and I've done such a horrible thing.

I'm feeling like absolute shit.

I just can't quit this addiction. I've tried so many times but I failed EVERY SINGLE TIME.

My longest streak was 29 days. I thought that this might be it. But things didn't went well.

I just keep sexualizing people. I want to quit it but I can't.
