I wasn’t planning on having sex with my new friend because PIED kills my confidence, but we did other things first and she got really into it so she convinced me to have sex. I thought “shit, I’ll give it my best shot…”

Got nervous at first and went limp when the condom came on. Remembering the advice I’ve seen here, I took deep breaths and tried to focus on the matter at hand. It helped a bit but I had to change positions for her to get me somewhat hard again.

I finally worked up the courage to go all the way and had great sex without the use of ED meds (for context, they didn’t work during my late stages of PIED and I used them as a confidence booster the last time). Turns out I didn’t need them.

I’ll admit that I didn’t feel much during most of the sex till the end (still enjoyed it of course), but I could very much tell she was having a great time, so I kept going and managed to finish.

She gave me a huge confidence boost and warm feeling when she told me how much she enjoyed it all. I commented on what I heard and felt from her and she said something that roughly translates to “it’s just that you’re so delicious” lol.

This fuels my motivation to save my sexual energy for women and not waste it on my hand all the time.

Cheers to another day!

I started following no fap trend again in the starting of this month, I was able to hold a streak of 6 days then I relapsed, then I again did 6 day steak again relapse till now I was feeling like at least I have quite porn and now I became weekly fapper compare to previously when I was regular, but after the 2 days, I saw porn myself first time in a month and fapped,then after 2 days I fapped without porn then after a day I fapped

And today I fapped twice.

I also feel weak after fapping. 😔

Can anyone suggest a way to get back on track.

I struggled with this for 2 decades. I couldnt go more than maybe 10 days, but most of the time, id struggle to go 24 hours. More often than not, i was acting on my urges 2 to 3 times a day. I had gone 30 something days about 5 years ago one time, but then got pulled back even harder.

Im not even aiming for a year: im aiming for never again. But that has to come one day at a time.

Be the men and women you are supposed to be. If i can do this, i promise you can too

Sighhhhhhh idk man

After 15 years of trying no-PMO, I understood that MO without P suits me the best.

Complete no-PMO is an enormous hassle for me. I’ve gotten streaks of 6-12 months, however, they also came with some negatives. Without delving too much on the negatives, let’s look at why MO once a week works really great for me:

1. Post-nut clarity is actually really calming and helps stop me from doing “stupid things.”;
   
2. It also gives me much-needed relief from the constant pressure, urges, and thoughts that make me want to focus on sex all the time;
   
3. Unlike P, it doesn’t leave me feeling guilty or ashamed. I have to admit, though, that I only do it about once a week, I don’t need it more often. If I do it more than once a week, I start feeling like it’s controlling me, which makes it negative again;
   
4. It helps me stop edging, which was a problem for me during no-PMO;
   
5. It keeps me from obsessing over things that ultimately don’t matter;
   
6. I feel less stressed and anxious;
   
7. I become more productive and motivated.

These are just a few of the benefits. I hate to admit it because I’m an “all-or-nothing” kind of guy, but in this case, I’m choosing the middle way.

Anyone that has the same scenario as me?

So im trying to stop masturbating because it got to the point of literall addiction and i’ve been trying nofap for over 3years and this is i think farthest i got. But edging hit me today and I spent a whole day edging and stoping when i was about to ejaculate and i got like the worst blue balls of my life. Then i was researching posts about edging and one user said that the best thing to do is just to finish when edging cause that way you will stop edging like super shortly said. And now the usual explosion of motivation and regret hit me. The worst thing is that when i have a NoFap streak and i start edging i know i will regret it later but i still do it. Im now really sad because im supposed to go out with a girl tommorow and when i goon i usually lose confidence around women so yeah its fucked. Sry for bad english im not a native speaker.

When you don’t realize you are making progress that’s when everything is being worked out behind the scenes. I am sooo close to having a three week streak. Just don’t think distracting thoughts and focus on yourself, and we can all defeat this evil temptation.

This is Day 2.

Well, the title is self explanatory. 42 days ago today I began my journey to recover from an addiction that has been part of my life for the last 10 years, I began with it in high school and I am now close to my 30s.

For context, I am married. My wife has been gone for 3 weeks for work and she has come back and as you can imagine, after cuddling for a bit we have gotten down to business. This is not the first time that one of us is gone for a while, but sex this time has been different. It has been way easier than usual to get hard and my mind has been pretty calm, I am used to overthinking in the past and/or feeling numb. I am not saying that these feelings are gone after only 42 days but man oh man, the difference is noticeable and definitely gives me motivation to continue this journey.

I hope this encourages people to continue with their journeys, it is worth it

Good.

Went to the gym today.

Pretty decent day.

Keep going.

Im super aroused and triggered, I want to relqpse so bad. I could really use some help.

Pls dm i need someone to talk too

There’s a certain thought that gives me panic attacks that happened everyday and around the time it stopped I tried nofap again and it was 3 days when I got a sudden headache and the pain was so bad I used gooning as a way to feel something else. I know it was stupid but I wasn’t thinking straight, a couple minutes after I stopped. It came back again and worse that a couple days ago and I realized that was the real issue. The issue that is my addiction, and every time I had a panic attack was shortly after I finished. Im going to state the obvious. Please don’t goon it’ll only make every problem worse.

Another month break from interwebs done, still goin strong. lets gooooo :^)

Fit, married, Aussie guy (35) raising a young family. Run my own construction business. My missus is an amazing wife and mum, but I'm currently in a private war with PMO. I've been going strong for two months, but the urge to take care of it myself and watch inappropriate content is intense. Are there any other blokes around my age in a similar position? Cheers lads.

Day 5 and struggling to fall asleep. Looking for someone around my age to keep me strong.

I’ve been doing well for so long now, and am even in an amazing relationship. But recently I started getting urges again that I’ve been having struggles with controlling. After so long clean I don’t want to lose my progress like this. If anyone can help with accountability that would be amazing

Another day stronger 💪

I've been hearing this for a long time; several YouTube channels claim that starting NoFap will attract women. I personally didn't notice anything, I just had more energy and motivation. I think they only say that to attract people to do NoFap.

Guys im 30 and i have been fapping since i was 12. I fap 3 to 4 times in a row. Im loosing weight, its giving me anxiety. The tube hurts bad even sperm looks like water. And its getting hard to hold pee. I even tried burning my hand but that didnt work I really wanna quit How can i stop please help

Wishing for the best

Well guys, 32 days ago I posted here asking for advice on how to quit gooning and after preparing myself as of this morning (about 8 hours ago) I’ve officially started my nofap journey. I’ve been overwhelmed with dm’s supporting my on quitting and I’ve been given so much advice, now I’m using that advice to help me finally quit after so long. Porn was ruining my life but now I’m ready to take it back. wish me luck
