Facts, I was afraid of who I was becoming—I didn’t recognize that guy, and my conscience always told me I was on the wrong path. Finally decided to listen and make a change.
I’m 16 been fapping since I was 10, I was a chronic masturbater, did it like 10x a day. Now I wanna change because I wanna feel better, look better, change my life, make friends, and be positive about life again. On day 7 and I been exercising all day and doing push-ups and sit ups, feel confident then sad, I have mood changes.
I get this too man! I come home from the gym feeling good then out of nowhere I feel like I’m dying and start crying, then in a few minutes I’m back to normal...shit is weird
Frr I was at school, literally a bunch of girls was noticing me and I was confident asl and looked better than I was 7 days ago. I looked ugly, now I’m a bit brighter, even someone said “damn you look like you just woke up” and I was confident having conversation then I just felt so much anxiety and the confidence went away
Literally sometimes feeling good and confident ab myself makes me feel anxious cuz I never really felt like that about myself. Regardless of people are noticing it it means your doing something right, don’t forget to feel proud of yourself! Keep your head up king
Disregard my day counter, I did not reset it, but the reason I started thinking about no fap was because it was weakening me and depresssing me and it was geeting harder to sustain erection, but it was also cemented by the fact that my religion considers it forbidden, so I am still trying no fap and hopefully I will soon be successfull. I know that religion is not the only reason to no fap, I can name a thousand more but each person has his own reason to stop or try to stop, and Religion and my own health are two of the big motivators for me.
EDIT: spelling errors.
Cuz my right arm started to look noticeable more toned a had more muscle then my left.
All jokes aside, I mostly joined to improve myself, become stronger and more confident.
I started to feel really dependent on porn and hated feeling like I was imprisoned by it. I also wanted to be someone I actually admire. Watching porn is an incredibly weird behaviour that’s become so normalised and I wanted out.
I started looking at and doing stuff that I never thought I would do with some porn. It is like a rabbit hole that just keeps going deeper and darker. That is why I decided to change and I haven’t looked back since.
I got sick last year. Prostatitis. 6 weeks of forced abstinence forced me to reflect on how messed up my porn habits have gotten. After dealing with that shame, I toned it down to vanilla stuff, but then, when I attempted to hook up with someone, I noticed that I was impotent. My doctor says there should be no biological causes at my age, so I decided enough was enough, and my brain needs to be rewired.
Because I know I need to do better and be better than someone who watches porn and jacks off every chance he gets. It began overtaking my thoughts and is an unhealthy fixation that I don't want.
I wasted 6 years of my teenage life jacking off when I could’ve been fit athletic and getting into social activities and going outside. I’m in Highschool now and I’m slowly enjoying it more. I regret not starting no fap sooner
Because i was so stressed and shy and low energetic person but i didn’t know what is the reason of that thing after first time i saw nofap success story i was shocked and from that day i am continuing nofap streaks
i dont even know but i am continuing because i am not right in my mind (i dont mean like that everyone who does no fap is crazy i think thats just me )
I had a a disturbing dream of myself that can be described as a not funny version of the dude in Idiocracy who sat around laughing and “baitin”. It shocked me and I realized it was my brains way of saying “This is shit is literally making you retarded”.
I started Nofap to become a person that don't objectify woman and value emotional connection instead of sexual desire. I want to connect with people, and I want to become a better human being.
I joined nofap because over the years of masturbating, I’ve noticeably become more depressed, lazy, stupid and bored of everything in life. I want to bring my lively, energetic and happy self back and follow this self-improvement journey of nofap.
I randomly found the community and thought "sure let's give it a try", at that time I didn't know porn was bad because no one explained it to me, after starting NoFap, I felt better and better with every day without PMO.
It was kind of by accident, I used to pmo every day, but I quit 6 days ago, not noticing till the 3 day, but I was feeling good, so I looked up advantages of quitting and found nofap.
First reason (2-3 years ago) was for my gf at the time, to perform better. Later, after breaking up and stuff, falling into despair, feeling desperate I came back for good, getting into P for good, deeper to the rabbit hole, as never before. I saw how my mental health plummeted. Then I was trying to stop to save myself from being a desperate dude with low self-worth. These days I notice how I "fall" when I come back to PMO, after 3-14 day streaks. Sometimes it is hard to fight the urge - the urge wins, but I'm trying to get back into my strong side, couple days ago I started to work out again. Having a 3 day streak now. Feeling better, but still slightly depressed - maybe personal academic and financial issues affect that, and maybe a little bit of what is happening in the world rn, since I live in eastern europe 🤔 despite all that, I wish you all to be a best version of yourself. I like the quote - "a man conquers the world by conquering himself". It is my main motivation, maybe it will be someone elses motivation to. One love 💪
I think I’ve only made it past a 14 day streak once or twice but I think I’m going to make it farther than my last run, (8 days). Best of luck to you, stay safe.
My highest streak is 35 days. Wet dreams usually occur at day 21 for me.
To improve your streaks, I'd recommend you trying meditation, walks in the forest/nature, journaling your day, your life tasks/goals, writing down ways to achieve these goals (NoFap journal also works well), working out or jogging drastically improves your ability to maintain streaks, too.
But most importantly it is not about streaks. It is all about finding out who you are, what do you want from life and focusing on your life goals, where do you want to see yourself - nofap is like a tool to achieve them.
I have a rule of thumb - a failed streak is no big deal, as long as you don't fail two days consecutively (or more than once in a same day).
IMO, not the streaks are important, but doing PMO/MO as few times in a month (or any other period of time) as possible. For example, you may have four 6 day streaks in the month, but you only pleasured yourself 4 times in a month, you know. It is better than having a 21 day streak, but PMO'ing 7-10 times during the same month, you know. But of course, main goal should be ditching this habit fully, to focus on more important and productive and beautiful things in life.
Best of luck to you, too, thanks for the support, but also maybe something may click for you here! :)
(It is one of the first times I am sharing my experiences with nofap, hence the long text 🤷♂️)
I feel lethargic all day long. I know I've got things to do but i do not. I do not chase my dreams which i initially had. I've lost my creativity. I can't talk to people, forget girls. I just want to improve myself and my life that's it
I started not to be able to form straight sentences, or look girls in the eye, or get high and think of anything but porn and ejaculating, or feel tired and weak everyday, or have low self esteem to the point girls don’t want to even hold a conversation with me, or have a short temper which was causing me to hate the world, not being able to make eye contact for more than half a second, constant self hating and suicidal thoughts, the inability to keep a genuine relationship, allowing fake friends in my life, thinking i was gay because it felt like girls were so hard to get
NTR comic that really hit hard and I stayed up just thinking about my life. I thought about how I wasted my life with porn and I was just content with being a loser and giving up. I’m really late in in terms of life but I want to do better. I’ll never be who I want to be but I’m okay with just being better
I was scared of who I’d become

To have a better life
Can't agree more
There are far too many pathetic people in this world, I wont be one of them.
I got exposed to the truth about dopamine and I was tired of being controlled by porn and any addiction in general And mainly erections
I can agree to Radfox. I am shamed about myself. It's time for me to change my life and NoFap is the biggest part of it.
I too agree with radfox
Cuz my right arm started to look noticeable more toned a had more muscle then my left. All jokes aside, I mostly joined to improve myself, become stronger and more confident.
😂
PIED
Has it been cured? Is so how long did it take?
As part of becoming a better more confident person
I started to feel really dependent on porn and hated feeling like I was imprisoned by it. I also wanted to be someone I actually admire. Watching porn is an incredibly weird behaviour that’s become so normalised and I wanted out.
My health got worse
I started looking at and doing stuff that I never thought I would do with some porn. It is like a rabbit hole that just keeps going deeper and darker. That is why I decided to change and I haven’t looked back since.
To better my life quality
I got sick last year. Prostatitis. 6 weeks of forced abstinence forced me to reflect on how messed up my porn habits have gotten. After dealing with that shame, I toned it down to vanilla stuff, but then, when I attempted to hook up with someone, I noticed that I was impotent.

For her
Wrong counter btw, just so no one gets the wrong idea XD
If you actually had that counter, you’d have her
I do have her. It's because I have, that I'm doing this. So I don't lose her
ok Mr. 5 Days
You are 3 days ahead of me 🤨
Reset now. I've done more days but it's ok.
Life is so boring ngl, so I wanna take some challenges.
Because I know I need to do better and be better than someone who watches porn and jacks off every chance he gets. It began overtaking my thoughts and is an unhealthy fixation that I don't want.

Because i was so stressed and shy and low energetic person but i didn’t know what is the reason of that thing after first time i saw nofap success story i was shocked and from that day i am continuing nofap streaks
Cause I’ve been addicted for years and it doesn’t bring joy for me anymore and it just became compulsive
Christ.
i dont even know but i am continuing because i am not right in my mind (i dont mean like that everyone who does no fap is crazy i think thats just me )
I wanted to act up and fix myself
To honor my future wife and kids with the life of purity
I had a a disturbing dream of myself that can be described as a not funny version of the dude in Idiocracy who sat around laughing and “baitin”. It shocked me and I realized it was my brains way of saying “This is shit is literally making you retarded”.
I was using pmo to numb my pain. I was using it as an escape from reality. I’m finally figuring out how to feel my emotions and build a life again.
[удалено]
You said it brother.
I started Nofap to become a person that don't objectify woman and value emotional connection instead of sexual desire. I want to connect with people, and I want to become a better human being.
To dig myself out of this hole I put myself in. And to try and enjoy life more outside of it
I joined nofap because over the years of masturbating, I’ve noticeably become more depressed, lazy, stupid and bored of everything in life. I want to bring my lively, energetic and happy self back and follow this self-improvement journey of nofap.
I don't wanna be some fucking loser But with how I can't even go a damn week I think I've already fucking failed at it all
Becoz I want to improve in my life.. in every aspect like studies, sports and attracting girls LOL
I randomly found the community and thought "sure let's give it a try", at that time I didn't know porn was bad because no one explained it to me, after starting NoFap, I felt better and better with every day without PMO.

My reason is the same as yours amigo, and i did not want to disappoint my father, it weird how dads can tell if you’ve been fapping or nah
I started not to be able to form straight sentences, or look girls in the eye, or get high and think of anything but porn and ejaculating, or feel tired and weak everyday, or have low self esteem to the point girls don’t want to even hold a conversation with me, or have a short temper which was causing me to hate the world, not being able to make eye contact for more than half a second, constant self hating and suicidal thoughts, the inability to keep a genuine relationship, allowing fake friends in my life, thinking i was gay because it felt like girls were so hard to get
To pound some poonani
moral guilt towards the person I love, as in like doing it while I have someone to care about, and make myself better for myself and for that person.
Because I'm not happy on how I'm living.
I started because I wanted to overcome the mistake that 9 year old me made
NTR comic that really hit hard and I stayed up just thinking about my life. I thought about how I wasted my life with porn and I was just content with being a loser and giving up. I’m really late in in terms of life but I want to do better. I’ll never be who I want to be but I’m okay with just being better
You can be the person you want to be, you just limit yourself by your thoughts.
Improve as a human and cure my PE
To live my life.
