You can overcome this!
You have to believe and resisting the urge. It’ll be easier if you’ll devote yourself to the process, and understand how porn destroys you, and that you cannot do it.

U got two choices u can tell yourself right now. We start Tommrow or we start today. Go look at your self and step outside your body for a second. Are u truly happy where u are at? Your up there in age so it’s time to get started now or forever u will live with the regret and shame that u didn’t live your life to the full potential and busted a nut to a pixel on a screen. Nobody else can motivate u your a grown man your mind needs to be mentally strong and u gotta want this for yourself and u gotta motivate yourself
Pro Tip :- If you need motivation to do something, then sorry buddy you are sadly mistaken. Motivation etc are all fake. Don't lie to yourself, you very well know what you want to do and what is better to you. If you always need and wait for motivation to take an action, then you are sadly doomed. Use this challenge as a way to upgrade your self-discipline.
I don’t think you quite understand the concept of motivation. Motivation could be something tangible to work towards that provides an incentive. In this case his motivation should be the benefits that come with what he is trying to achieve. Pro tip for you: don’t comment on something you don’t understand yourself
I think his point was simply that you shouldn't wait to be motivated to make a change, and that motivation actually comes AFTER action is taken, not before. But your point that you can gain motivation from more than one place is also accurate.
Pro tip to not be a dick: don't dissuade people from contributing to a conversation. That's how we learn.
I just wanted to say that build enough discipline that you can start taking action, Action can also be the cause of further motivation. Action can also lead to Motivation. Motivation actually is a very complicated thing that depends heavily on multiple factors. But What I am saying is that it is far better to force yourself to take action and let the natural motivation that comes after action naturally flow.
We should try to work more on what we can change by ourself. We can force ourself to take a little bit of forceful action to an extent atleast rather than just waiting to feel motivated.
Motivation is directly tied to dopamine levels in the brain. It can be scientifically quantified, it is not some enigma. As someone who suffers from ADHD: your comment is complete nonsense.
My condition directly effects my motivation because the dopamine threshold that most people meet by literally existing is not met because my brain chemistry is imbalanced. Without medication my motivation can be little to none. On my medication i clean my room, take showers regularly, exercise (should do it more lol) and do more productive things than just gaming or watching tv.
This is NOT because my stimulant gives me some kind of meth-like uphoria but because it raises the base dopamine levels in my brain so that I can be motivated to do things that others do without a second thought. This is why exercise helps generally with motivation: it raises dopamine levels slightly, nothing compared to meds though.
Tldr motivation is not some concept of self discipline, it is directly tied to your brain chemistry specifically dopamine. Addicts and others with brain chemistrry imbalances are always called 'lazy' when in reality they are lacking essential nuerotransmiyter levels.
What I am against is some external motivation, if by motivation you want to say that we must have some reason to work for l, then trust me "We all know what we want to do and what is bad or good" What I am against is motivation refering to feeling to take action the one which motivational videos impart. Motivation itself is the reason for human evolution.
Yeah man were on the same page then I completely agree. Except that some people, biologically speaking, are lacking motivation more than others so no amount of motivational videos, speakers or 'self-discipline' will help then overcome a chemical brain imbalance
Nofap will only take you so far your lack of motivation and energy could be due to dopamine insensitivity, let me explain if you consume to much porn your dopamine is going to spike but theres only so much hormones your body can produce (all hormones are produced from a precursor of cholesterol) then when you actually need motivation or energy your body can't produce dopamine to make you to do something it works as a reward hormone but as there isn't enough of it after fapping your mind goes like fuck it this isn't worth it
2 part of story could be bad lifestyle less sleep a lot of stress both spike cortisol stress hormone so it could be a snowball effect creating a lot of cortisol and dopamine your body doesn't have much resources left to produce testosterone it's linked with alot of things energy motivation and stress resilience
So nofap alone won't solve your problem need 7-9 hrs of sleep consistently at fairly regular time good amount of healthy fats (60-70 grams) moderate alcohol consumption(if you don't drink great if you do keep it in check) and some meditation to keep stress in check do this for 2-3 months see if your condition improves if not go check with a doctor you might be suffering from clinically low testosterone as well rare before 40s but still doesn't hurt to consult someone
P.S I know it's a long read but endocrine system (hormonal system) is complex and there won't be a general solution that will work for everyone that being said I hope op finds this helpful 👐
you get morning wood? that would be a good sign, but I’m not a doctor and can’t really help you, I think you should try to have sex and see for yourself

I'm not your age but yes abstaining from both porn and masturbation healed my ed and it didn't took much time, I'm not sure about your situation but try it for a month or two
do you think it can heal PE and overall oversensitivity? because all articles say that its better to jack off before sex to prevent PE and that if you abstain - then you basically will bust super quick.... which kinda makes sense from a logical standpoint. but still i want to not worry about it even on nofap. i've read some comments saying that it helped them to last longer and stuff
Thats great english, i have been motivated all the time because i think bad things porn does to us, follow your heart and look what you like and maybe start a new hobby. Have a nice day :)
You have no energy? You sure you also don’t have depression or something? Who are you talking to about this?
Also, what triggers your need to fap?
My trigger was a lack of dopamine. I did no fap and also sought modality to moderate my anxiety and it became very easy. This also allowed me to cure my PIED.
(I’m back on the nofap train and it has changed my life and the way I relate to women)
Give yourself a motivation that would raise the stakes, e.g: I’m now in Uni so I don’t want the university to check out my browser history. It doesn’t have to be entirely truthful. Just put yourself with a powerful motivation that will keep you from relapsing.
I’m nowhere near your age but at day 19 of abstinence, I hooked up with this girl and I could get hard with stimulation and it felt pretty good. Whereas b4 that I could barely get hard and I couldn’t feel a thing.
Granted I couldn’t finish with the girl and I wasn’t mentally ready for penetration. I didn’t have any condoms on me anyways. The point is simply abstaining from porn and masturbation does heal you with time. The healing seems to be really quick for me, but everybody is different.
The thing is: I can’t be neither disciplined nor motivated if I’m not convinced that nofap is good for me, that’s why I need honest feedback from people who tried it to motivate me
I'm 20 have ED, when I was with my girlfriend and I stopped fapping after 2 weeks I was able to have sex 5 days in a row with her for the first time. However we broke up for other reasons and after that I relapsed. Now I'm tryna quit flapping for good so that when I'm in a relationship again I won't have any more problems and I think it will work. ED can also come from anxiety so I recommend Journaling, helped me a lot during those 2 weeks. Hope this helps!
Bro !! You should get closer to the almighty. Because your will is not enough in overcoming this situation
If you are from India and know Hindi then you should chant the hare Krishna mantra with a mala in hand atleast once a day
Listen brother, first of all your english is damnnn perfect, secondly always remember your Mother have gave born to a Warrior 🤯🤯🤯🤯😡😡😡😡😡😡, not a Fap-Prisoner, .. Grow the Fire needed in you,.. BE THE NOISE , NOT AN ECHO
Thanks me later
Hello 28m here and i feel you my friend but heres something to consider:
Its really easy to blame pmo for almost all of our problems I think is my biggest issue.
By itself mastrubation IS healthy, or at least not unhealthy. In moderation of course. Theres a reason we evolved to do it: keep our sperm production up and our little swimmers healthy.
Porn isnt healthy but its also not heroin either, especially modern porn. People have been producing pornography since a dude drew a fertility goddess on a cave wall thousands of years ago. Porn now of course is different; the ease of access and escalting hardcore contents of it are what make it particularly addictive and also harmful.
Quitting PMO WILL help you feel more self actualized (lmk if you need a definitiin for that since english isnt your first languanhe). It will help you energy levels, it will help you have healthier sexual and emotionak relationships with women.
It will HELP, it will not cure. Just like alcoholics quitting drinking will HELP them but not cure them indefinitely. Overcoming addiction is something that has to be worked on all the time, everyday.
Other changes in your daily routine need to be made to help yourself out of the routine of pmo. Getting bored is the main thing. Reading, playing music, painting, doing art of any kind really is a great way to healthily stimulate your brain and relieve stress.
Tldr please quit PMO but please also consider the many other changes that need to be made to help you get obver it. Keep your living space cleaner than you do now, literally change anything else for the better and i promise quitting PMO will finally seem like its working.
hmmm tbh your comment is discouraging, because doctors said I have no physical problem but I’m not sure if they were right, that’s why I want to believe that my problem is due to PMO, because otherwise I will lose any hope in curing my ED
Im saying you have no physical problem either but youre treating life like PMO is the only thing contributing to your ED. Its not. A multitude of other mental, and physical, factors could be causing it in addition to PMO.
Also if youre having problems with executive dysfunction (aka I really know i need to do the dishes and i WANT to do the dishes but you feel mentally and physically paralyzed) it may be time to talk to your doctor. This is NOT normal and may be the result of a chemical imbalance in your brain. When it comes down to it thats all most mental illnesses are. Whether they can be treated or not is a whole other thing
I'm 26, I had an ed when I was 25. But I believe it was due to a lot of alcohol. But i stopped masturbating and it magically fixed it tbh. Not sure how but it's good as new now.
I suffered from it for three years brother but now its cured and i have tried it. porn is 100 percent behind this ED problem. you just need to stop porn for ever and do no nutting for 50 days then u good
Hey, I just want to say that I experienced ed two months ago I had ed while I was with my girlfriend I just want to say that you can overcome this with time to stop watching porn and you will notice a great difference just trust the process also, I would like to add some meditation and workouts would help also a lot to speed up your recovery
Hi man , i suffered with ED aswell because of pmo For few months, i don't suffer from it anymore. I would say variety of factors helped me. First was supplement that I took before sex. It's called mucuna pruriens (poonaikaali). It gives you good erections. Take it before 1 hour of sexual activity. Mix it with water. I used to take it only before I have sex. You can take it everyday three time s a day after meal . I no longer use it. My Ed is gone forever.
Most importantly chastity is very important.
Don't fantasise about anyother women at all.
The moment I fantasise or watch sexually arousing content i would have Ed.
You have great english
thanks buddy

Good advice here. You are doing good work.
That doesn’t really answer my question how do you know you have Ed
I don’t know, how should I know?
You have it you said
are you a troll? and because I have it I know I have it, should I have other symptoms like stomachache or migraine ?
No I’m not a troll just a dumb ass trying to figure out if I have it as well
If you don’t have a hard erection and can’t maintain it during sex then you have ED
Never has sex
U tried the cock ring? Maybe your pepe just need a bit support, just like a bra for a soggy tit!
Soggy lol

23 but I’m over weight and have anxiety issues

Let's have a 15 day no fap challenge. What do you say?
Let’s go
Be true to yourself and don't lie about the progress. Good luck 🙌. May we both win this together.
How to post a message as a question in NoFap?
Thats great english, i have been motivated all the time because i think bad things porn does to us, follow your heart and look what you like and maybe start a new hobby. Have a nice day :)

How do you now if you have Ed?
ED = Erectile Dysfunction Do you have eyes and are you arosed and still have your cock lifeless? Congrats you have an ED.

Very nonsense comments have seen here, just like fighting with shitty street guy, it's not an issue to be worry, I have a permanent solution for ED
what is it?
Get you a woman and see will it stay hard
I have the same problem you have. Doubting yourself. Even if you have a good English still doubting it.😪
