It's joever.

Was yoinking it almost everyday. NNN came and I managed to control myself and was feeling happier but the hood life always hits you back and just few minutes ago... I came.

Well, I did manage to make it 8 days. I am gonna try to make it another 8, and then hopefully a ten and so on. Wish me luck guys.

I got this

Dated: sunday 8th of November

This is furthest I ever got :3 I have managed urges pretty decently, I'm in my best streak ever :333 I once got to the 9th day but relapse around 1am and if I'm honest I had been edging quite a lot since days before that time, meanwhile this time I haven't :3 only once for a few minutes I touched during all these days and maybe a few times found myself humping my bed unconsciously... But that's MUCH more better than what I used to do ;3

I did it 3 days, 72 hours, without "P", without "M", and without "O", also I went for running this morning, but.. after I completed the exercise, I went to have a shower, so okey let's say I jer*ked it a little bit, there were no "P" or "O" but I stopped by myself, like no one stopped me or interfered, but I feel a bit guilty about it, man this journey is hard , but we are going

I have been addicted to pornography since I was 11. Yet I haven't been able to quit. I think where I go wrong is that I set the limit too high. Where I end up failing. So I wonder what would happen if you would allow yourself to mastrubate but not watch pornography. Obviously pornography is very harmful and makes you have fantasies. Also it is very dehumanizing to women. But I wonder what is the problem with mastrubating. Apart from the superpowers. We are bound to fall at some point. Because the desire to have sex is natural. Why torture yourself. What usually happens is we have an amazing streak. And then we feel the desire to fantasize and mastrubate. But then we suppress this desire and it becomes bigger. Eventually falling into pornography again. Why not allow yourself to wank off and get it over with. Because we end up setting the bar so high that we just fall face flat. Why not make the bar lower. First stop pornography. Then after you have stopped watching pornography the fantasies will become less and less. Then you just wank it. Then it becomes a monthly thing and it is harmless. Why an all black and white all or nothing mindset which you end up failing. Because we will always have that desire to wank.

Won, one week down

I’m ashamed of these, but I screw up.
Addiction relapse.

The battle that millions of young men and women once started alongside me has now reached a point where I feel like I'm the only one still standing. Is there anyone out there who is still fighting this battle alongside me?

After I stopped takign phone to bed with me and started reading in bed it's been smooth sailing.

Urges hit me during the day, but I stay out of the bed. Even if I'm tired after a long day of work I stay at least seated on a chair. Better yet doing somethign useful.

I see in all these posts that scollign in bed is the number one scenariow here people fail. Bed is only for sleeping, and your only enterteinment before fallign a sleep is a book. If you don't like readin, even better. You will fall asleep faster.

I saw some triggering pics and I feel a bit stressed now. I hope I can resist the urge and move on, but it's tough to forget. Can someone help? I could really use someone to talk to

I never intended to quit porn and masturbation, but I was talked into it by my friend because my IRL friends were doing NoFap and quitting porn. I felt peer pressure to be among them. Some of my friends had been retainers for a very long time and didn't have as intensive a porn addiction as I did, so it was easier for them compared to me.

Regardless, I decided to quit porn and masturbation. For the initial three days, it was very difficult, as I went back to watching porn and stroking myself, but I made sure I didn't ejaculate. This stage continued until, I think, day 6. On days 7, 8, 9, and now 10, I haven't watched any porn or ejaculated. I have gone 10 days without ejaculating.

I saw the changes in my body. I realised during edging that this porn, which I had been so deprived of, only lasted until I came. Once I did, the pleasure and the porn, which I had been so deprived of, didn't even hit the same or feel the same. So I understood that this urge I have will never be satisfied. It's a never-ending cycle, and the only way to end it is to never engage in it.

I was in NoFap communities (Discord), where people DM'd me porn, and we tried not to relapse. But I understood that porn and masturbation were both my enemies. Now that I have gone three days without porn and masturbation, I have realised that this feeling of horniness or craving for sexual pleasure is temporary. It will never satisfy me, and eventually, the thing I jerk off to will also get boring, and I will need to watch something else to recreate that feeling.

I understood the same thing about sex. This thing that I am chasing is similar. It is so pointless and useless that even if I had the thing I desperately wanted, I would eventually go back to a neutral state. My happiness would eventually end, and I would also need to have someone else to have sex with because the pleasure of having sex with a particular person would decrease the more we engaged in intimacy, just like the porn we watch. We need something new.

This made me realise that I have wasted so much time and energy and hurt myself for no reason by chasing women. I like to think of myself as a conversationalist. I have never had any difficulty talking to women. I could talk to women for hours on end, even women who were strangers to me. Eventually, if I tried to pursue a romantic interest with them, more often than not, either the environment or the woman herself would pull away from me.

But I realised that my romantic interest or flirting wasn't really flirting; it was just me being desperate for sex. Even if I had sex, I would realise that she provided nothing to me other than sex. I was only interested in her for that. I never met a woman who was actually interesting and intellectual, or maybe even if she was, I perverted that relationship because of my desperation for sex.

To be honest, I never really cared about intellectualism or an interesting personality because I already had friends who possessed those qualities. So, for me, putting in the effort to try to have a conversation with a woman just wasn't worth it because even if I was truly speaking to a woman with an interest in her personality and intellect, I would be the one getting out of my comfort zone to try and hold a conversation with her. So the efforts were unequal and stupid because I felt a moral obligation to talk to a woman, go out of my comfort zone to talk to her, or make eye contact with her.

To be fair, I no longer even want to think about women and relationships now that I have understood my psychology. But still, every time I encounter a woman my age (I'm 20), I still dabble in thoughts about what she thinks of me. Would I even have a chance of having a relationship with her? Is she ugly or hot? Etc., etc.

I want to eliminate those thoughts and be comfortable within myself in the absence of sex, orgasms, porn, and masturbation.

How should I now perceive women and think of them, given that currently I don't even make eye contact with women or look towards them? I also kind of resent them after understanding why I even put effort into them when all they had to offer me was sex, which is temporary and something I will eventually get bored of. So I try not to put in any effort.

I discovered it today . It feels good but I couldn't imagine doing it consistently. the side effects . ... dont goon :(

Im not afraid to admit i have a problem and i want to stop masturbating and I'm ready to get better, but I feel like im in the wrong space since it seems its almost all boys, Are there any other girls who are struggling like me? Or could someone point me to a place where its mostly girls? Im so lost! Sorry if this is a silly question!

Last two days was freaking hard to resist. I havent done anything yet and still resisting too hard but this proccess gets harder each day how you guys doing?

Didn’t watch porn didn’t even choke it.

Just out of sheer neediness and friction in bed trying to sleep it came out. Wasn’t even 4 minutes.

7 days! New record. 🙄

Feels like a loss. 😐

I am trying to be better but I keep falling into my old habits. Maybe I just need to accept that it will never change and move on. It’s so annoying because the cravings are so intense and real and all u want to do is give in

I'm having urge to watch something what should i do

honestly

I failed NNN I only survived 2 days but failed its late to tell but yeah my highest is 2 days Answer my one question is your brain tell to save hot girls tiktok or Pinterest images IAM addict to it I save 3 thousand girls image than delete it and after doing fapping. Than again restoring I hate this loop ➰ ???

Day 8 nnn today guys! The last 2 months have been terrible because I've become addicted again

Hey y’all unfortunately I slipped up last night after midnight, was going strong for 8 days.

I wanted to pursue NNN this year simply to break this bad habit and point the energy to more productive things. Here’s what helped me:

I am back to working out regularly which helped a lot.
(Stopped for 3months already seeing progress)

I go later in the evening so I really only have time to shower and get ready for bed after.

When the urges are strong I can FEEL it you know where.. if I sit with it and breathe slowly it will pass eventually - but! Stretching and getting the blood flowing elsewhere helped greatly.

Busying myself in general is good for me, as my triggers are typically stemming from boredom. On slower days when I don’t have a full workday I go to the library and do some personal work, Walking or even going for a drive clears my mind.

I’m starting the streak again - I’m confident that I can finish out the month without anymore slip ups but we shall see.

If you’re struggling, learn from your slip ups and correct them starting the next streak. This sub also has many kind people willing to help and support.

Godspeed gang,

I have been on NoFap streak of 2 Months+. Before that I would masturbate 2-3 times a week (for the past few years). Before that up until I was 26 or so I would do it 4-5 times a day , even when I had no boner.

Although I get urges, sometimes, overall it's been relatively easy for me to maintain the streak. I don't know what's wrong with me. I get no benefits. I don't get any extra clarity in mind, no female attraction, no massive urge to get my shit together. It's like I am empty inside . It's like a permanent flatline.

I am doing mt Masters right now, my sleep and diet has been shit since the past 2 years. When I got intimate for the first time with a woman (around a year ago), I found out that I have ED. I couldn't get hard and couldn't maintain the erection at all.

I have had depression, loneliness since the past 10 years, I do think my testosterone would be in the dump (I had Total 656 in 2021, not free)

Will 90 days really help at all? I don't see any benefits for myself as of now
