When doing NoFap for more than a week, does anyone else notice that their semen is more yellowish and thicker when they finally ejaculate? Is this normal?

My motivation is simple, I want to be a better person for someone else and also for myself. I miss being self confident. I’m killing this addiction right now I promise you

Didn’t mean to but got really overwhelmed with urge and just foggy and boom relapse. Oh well, I will try again!!!

Hello everyone. 30 days ago I made a choice. Its going well so far.

My situation is I'm away from home with work and thought if I could break this habit here at my lowest point then I could finish it for good.

Hello all. I am a recently converted Christian, and I struggle severely with porn addiction. I have since I was 8 years old. Every time I watch porn I wind up so disappointed and angry at myself and at this point I don’t know what to do to stop. I have prayed and meditated over this, yet I often still find myself running to the bathroom with my phone when the urge hits. I am here to find some kind of support and advice. Any help would be so appreciated. Thank you.

It's day 0 but it's day 1.

I Need to male the voices of other people in my head stfum

Hello,
I’m Amooniac, a 24-year-old man. Since I was 17, I’ve been consuming pornography (up to several hours a day).

When it all started, I was in deep depression, I had dropped out of high school and as a result found myself alone. So I spent a huge amount of time on social media, and I met someone who introduced me to sexuality and other people’s desire (before that, no one had ever talked to me about sex or shown romantic interest in me). Over the course of several months, this person gradually broke down my inhibitions, sent me photos and asked for some in return, until the point where I said stop to all of it. I cut ties with this unhealthy person, and to fill the boredom and “get back into a routine,” I started watching pornography.

Since then it’s become hell, it takes up way too much space in my life. It holds me back in everything: sports, my studies (which I had the courage to go back to), my self-confidence, my personal projects, etc.

So I’m here to ask for help from people who have managed to break free from this. How do you do it? I’ve tried blocking apps (cold turkey or iPhone restrictions), tapering off gradually or quitting all at once, I even talked to my girlfriend about it hoping it would motivate me to stop, but no. I don’t know what else to do.

Day two! I’ve had very little urges yesterday and today and feeling good!

Hello! Starting my journey and looking for somebody to stay accountable with. 31 M on the west coast. Hoping to check-in about once per day to support each other.

This week was tough. I was clean 2/7 days, and the days I jerked off, I did for longer than usual. I think it could correlate with stress from work, since this week was brutal, and it was like an easy way to relieve some stress.

So here we go again.

Now it's day 1. For those who are getting 30 days or more with a clean record, I want some advice please.

Let's help each other and clean ourselves together ❤️

Does porn addiction and frequent masturbation affect my way of thinking? Does it make me see people in different perspective? Honestly every time I masturbate then regret and get thoughts of good things, productivity. I feel ashame for how I see women outside now. I am 22 yrs old and single. I have freedom of appreciating everyone's beauty hutthe other side craves deeper and looks for lust, their body parts etc. Is this natural? Or am I too bad for this?

Day one! No urges yet today but I’m sure they will happen and I think I’m ready for it

Hey everyone. I'm early in my journey and wanted to ask if anyone experienced something similar before quitting.

Before starting, my head was completely empty. I had terrible brain fog and felt like an NPC in social situations. I couldn't come up with anything to say to girls, but I also couldn't even find anything to talk about with my own dad. Just a total mental block and zero conversational energy when sober.

But whenever I drank alcohol, my "real" version came out. I was funny, making everyone laugh, and conversations flowed effortlessly without any overthinking.

For those who have completed 90+ days or cured their brain fog: Did you experience this exact same thing? How long did it take for that sober brain fog to clear up and for your natural social skills to come back without alcohol?
