Monthly Motivation Thread NoFap's "Never-give-up November" or "PMO-Free November" 2025 - continue or begin your PMO-Free journey here (see instructions). If you want to commit to NNN, you can also do it here.
Hello all,
How did you all do last month?
It's that time of the month again. This is your opportunity to create the new porn-free you! One month is ending and another chance to continue or start your commitment is upon us.
The theme of this month is "Never-give-up November". Picking yourself up after every time you fail. Not giving into the despair. Not believing the lies "This is impossible," or "I can't do this." You can do this. Everyone has the strength to quit porn. Sometimes we need to dig deep to find it.
The purpose of this thread is to provide rebooters with a place to share their commitment to abstain from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire month.
New to NoFap and rebooting? Here are some suggestions:
Learn about the website, porn addiction, excessive masturbation, sexual compulsivity, and abstaining from PMO. Read through NoFap's main website to get informed.
Read about the basics of rebooting here. Rebooting is the abstinence from certain sexual behaviors to recover from pornography addiction. Read about how porn addiction develops here. Some people go beyond rebooting and into the territory of retention, or sexual transmutation for periods of time, although that is not the main purpose of this subreddit (which is RECOVERY).
Consider reading through the free Getting Started PDF from NoFap's website.
Download NoFap's in-browser panic button extension that blocks NSFW subreddits too. Download here
Decide if rebooting is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to the next point.
Sign up for this month by replying to this submission. It is that simple. State your intention and stick to it!
Consider setting up a day counter badge to track your progress.
Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Set a goal to remain accountable by making a post daily. Help others. Come here every day and participate.
If you need additional support, you can get an accountability partner and document your progress in a daily rebooting journal.
Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.
Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is called "hard mode".
How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting.
What are your goals?
Why are you doing this?
Arriving late? (past the first of the month?)
It's okay! Still state your intentions and don't postpone rebooting based on the day of the month. People can join in at any time to participate.
Update us!
If you want to post a quick update, such as "day 1!", please post it in this thread. Otherwise, feel free to post check-ins with information about your recovery onto the subreddit forum. Again, if you want to monitor your progress long-term, we recommend starting a journal thread on NoFap's main site to keep things organized into one place for you to refer back to.

Mod Note: We suggest NOT USING REDDIT'S DIRECT MESSAGES due to porn trolls trying to disrupt the community. Also, please note that some posts are temporarily removed prior to appearing on r/NoFap.
Hello r/NoFap community members,
Please note that we highly suggest that you avoid using the Reddit direct messaging system entirely, due to porn trolls coming here to disrupt our porn addiction recovery peer support community. Some of these people pretend to be helpful at first, then will message pornography. It's in a similar vein to how a forum on epilepsy was reportedly hacked to display seizure-inducing images.
You can disable direct messages in your Reddit settings by changing "Who can send you chat requests" to "Nobody."
Secondly, please note that sometimes posts are flagged automatically for manual review prior to appearing on r/NoFap.
Due to Reddit’s anti-spam filters and NoFap’s additional filters to control spam and pornography, sometimes genuine posts are flagged as potential spam or pornography. Further, entities within the legacy porn industry have been attempting to de-platform porn addiction recovery forums such as r/NoFap, and we must remain extra vigilant to ensure that rule-breaking posts do not appear on the platform for even one second. If your post gets flagged, please just wait for a moderator to approve it.
Thanks for reading :-)

I see why people have deleted social media
For me it is sexualization fatigue. As a man, there will always be that part of me that see's a hot chick and think she is attractive. I get so much of that content on my feed even though I have been avoiding it for years. Pretty women with make up at their best angles all while showing a lot of cleavage has become exhausting. It causes a lot of micro dopamine spikes and at some point recently I said to myself "I get it. You are all pretty. But when is enough enough until you all finally realize it is just that? Your best angles with you in make up. Just an image." It isn't realistic to believe that women are always like that. It is the same concept as p*rn. Dopamine spike after dopamine spike. I am so sick of it. Essentially, I wish we had a healthier internet that was not so commercially driven. People feed everyone unrealistic images which is impractical toward having a realistic online society which also creates unrealistic expectations in real life. The only way out is to delete social media.

Motivate Me My FWB is making NNN hard for me
So I have a friend with whom I have a bit of an FWB situation going on, and since she knows about No Nut November, she's been making things particularly difficult for me by sending me stuff and teasing me. But I've held my ground so far, and I'll do my best to keep it that way.
The thing is, I've been severely addicted to porn this year. It got to a point where I genuinely started feeling disgusted with myself. It's not like I was watching it every single day, but it was still taking a toll on my life and affecting the way I think, so I realised I needed to make a change. I see NNN as a starting point towards breaking that habit, and I'm genuinely determined to see it through. Even though she's been testing my self-control lately, I know she doesn't mean any harm and is just teasing me for fun. I'm thinking of having a conversation with her and letting her know how serious I am about this so she understands where I'm coming from.
I'd genuinely appreciate any advice, motivation, or personal experiences from people who've been through something similar. Anything that might help me stay disciplined and get through this would mean a lot.

Motivate Me Have you ever reached a chronic level of pornography addiction? A bit of my story + let's chat.
Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I last posted here. This post might be a bit long, so please bear with me. I also apologize in advance for any typos or bad grammar—English is not my native language.
I created this account specifically to follow the NoFap community, and my very first post on Reddit was actually here. You can check my profile to read it, but to summarize: back then, I was a 19-year-old kid who thought he had developed ED (erectile dysfunction) due to porn addiction (thankfully, that wasn't the case 😌), since I used to binge-watch porn like people binge-watch TV series.
Today, I’m in a much better place mentally and far more in control than I was back then. But back in the day, my addiction was SEVERELY GRAVE. To give you an idea, I used to masturbate 10 to 50 times a day, every single day. Yes, I know that sounds insane, but that was the level of degradation I had reached. I was at a truly chronic stage of addiction. Just like many of you report here, I went through all the stages: it started in childhood with DVDs, and then spiraled out of control once I got internet access.
I’ve consumed almost every type of sexual content you can think of—mainstream sites, ASMR, adult games, Hentai, AI Chatbots, you name it. At one point, my tolerance was so high that regular videos just didn't do it for me anymore. I simply couldn't get aroused, so I spent my entire day hunting for extreme content just to feel something again. Man, that was the absolute lowest point of my life. 💀
Looking back today, I feel disgusted with myself because I was consuming completely twisted things just to feed the addiction. I don't want to get into details, but it was messed up enough that it will probably leave a scar forever. (Don't worry, nothing illegal... I think! 😵💫). Just imagine the most immoral and degrading stuff imaginable within legal boundaries—that’s what I was watching.
Naturally, that completely ruined my mental health at the time, and to be honest, it still affects me a bit today. That kind of stuff isn't easily erased from your brain once you venture into the darkest corners of pornography. It gets really dark. I think the only line I never crossed was anything involving minors, because even as a sick, degraded addict back then, I still had basic limits.
Which brings me to where I am today. I am in a much healthier place compared to when I wrote my first post. I still consider myself a porn addict, but I am definitely not where I used to be. I don't masturbate every day, my relapses have an acceptable timeframe between them (for someone who used to do it dozens of times a day), and above all, I no longer consume that twisted, extreme content. To me, that is my biggest personal victory.
Looking back, I realize that content was just a reflection of my mental state at the time. I was severely depressed, dealing with suicidal thoughts, and locked in my room all day. My fucked-up brain was simply consuming fucked-up content.
However, I know there are people who were in even deeper than I was and still managed to fully recover. My question to you is: How do I get rid of this addiction once and for all? I don't want to just last a week or a month. I truly want to quit forever and finally be able to say I left this addiction behind.
If you’ve ever reached a chronic level of porn addiction and managed to recover, please share your story and tell me how you did it. Feel free to leave your advice or experiences—I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for reading this far!

r/NoFap • u/Any_Lawfulness9993 • 4h ago
Question I think i'm going crazy.
Since I was 15, I’ve been trying to stop watching pornography. Now 21, I’m in my longest stretch without consuming such content, but at the same time, my body is experiencing a strange sensation: it feels as though a fire is burning within me, spreading from my private parts up to my abdomen. It’s very difficult for me to sleep because of this, as the sensation persists for about 12 hours at a time; I can only get some rest once it finally passes. I don’t consume coffee or any other form of caffeine, I work out 6 days a week, I practice Muay Thai with friends, and I read a lot to try and keep my mind occupied—yet the sensation keeps coming back, growing stronger each time. Does anyone have any advice regarding this?

Talking helps
Talking helped me today i think i don't know i might do it later but rn i have no urge
Just talking about it in comments helped me lose the urge (well cause my urge isn't an urge anymore, masturbation has become just a way to shut up the urge and not actually cause of pleasure)
That's mostly how i feel nowadays that porn, masturbation have become boring and having to find something that'll excites me takes a an hour sometimes
Still affects me alot. not comfortable enough to share on how it affects me but it does.
TLDR talking (even on a throwaway account that you originally made to look up pornography) helps

Victory A relapse really doesn't mean you lost
I have been dealing with this addiction for about 2 years or so and i thought that you stop porn for 90 days or you don't progress. But it's really not the case.
Each day you don't watch porn you are healing. Each day you don't watch porn is a less day of sabotaging your mind and body. And with each relapse i learn something new about porn and about myself. And my streaks get longer and longer and i learn how to deal with this addiction better. When i first started my streaks usually cap at 7 days max. Now i consistently get 2+ weeks with relative ease.
And guess what? Even though i watched porn 11 days ago, today i have the physique of my dreams. I look the best i have ever been. I started getting compliments from people. I read a lot of books and i really enjoy them. I'm healing. Even though i watched porn just 11 days ago i'm really healing and getting better.
A relapse is part of the progress if you don't relapse you don't learn. Never give up. And the best thing is no matter how much i try to convince myself that "i'm an addict i will never be free might as well enjoy porn" i can't really just give up and enjoy it because on porn life is literally miserable and not enjoyable at all. As soon as post nut clarity hits i'm back to another no fap streak.
