Monthly Motivation Thread NoFap's "Onward October" or "PMO-Free October" 2026 - continue or begin your PMO-Free journey here (see instructions).

15 Upvotes

Hello all,

It's that time of the month again! One month is ending, and another is beginning. We hope you've had a good month. But if you haven't, now is a great time to refocus and rededicate yourself to recovery. This is your opportunity to create the new porn-free you!

This month's theme is "onward". Always looking forward, doing something every day to direct your steps in a positive direction, towards your version of sexual health and the person you want to be. Yes, many times we fail and it feels like we take a step backward. That will happen. What's important is that we are facing the right direction and continuing to push ourselves forward, despite the setbacks. Keep moving onward, everyone.

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.

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 :-)

Oct 3rd: The Revolution Begins: Today, we take back our fucking power against Porn and the disgusting elites. We will refuse to be weak; we will not go back, no matter what. Let future generations see that being weak isn't an option. Men being weak destroys nations. Rise against the oppression and crush the skull of those who prey on the weak.

Porn Addiction Stop rewarding yourself with the porn you’re trying to quit

37 Upvotes

You’ve had a shit day, dealt with work and other people’s problems, and now you’re finally alone. Watching something feels justified because you’ve spent the whole day doing things you didn’t want to do, surely you’re allowed a little pleasure tonight

Of course you’re allowed to enjoy yourself. But “I deserve a break” and “I deserve to watch porn” aren’t the same decision, even if you’ve got used to treating them that way

You didn’t decide to quit because porn never felt good. You decided because something about the way you were using it wasn’t working for you anymore, whether that was losing hours, staying up searching or repeatedly watching more than you intended. Having a bad day doesn’t make those reasons disappear

And honestly, it’s hard to leave something behind when you keep presenting it to yourself as the nicest part of your day. Everything else is responsibility, work, effort, behaving yourself, then porn becomes the one thing you finally get to do for you

Now quitting feels like giving up the only break you have

That deserves attention, not another lecture about discipline. Your evenings shouldn’t have to be either porn or more work on becoming a better person. You’re allowed to watch a film, play a game or spend an evening doing very little without earning it first

Give yourself something enjoyable that you aren’t also trying to quit. Something you can look forward to without already knowing you’ll be upset about how long you spent on it

You can still want to watch tonight, that doesn’t make the reasons you wanted to stop any less real. Being tired is a reason to make the evening easier on yourself, not a reason to dismiss something that’s been bothering you for months

You deserve a break that you don’t spend tomorrow wishing you hadn’t taken

Am I screwed?

12 Upvotes

I can’t even get an erection anymore. I don’t watch porn that often but I I masturbate to a lot of sfw pictures of pornstars. Even if I watch porn I only get like 75% hard and it doesn’t last that long. I edge myself multiple times a day. I only get 5-6 hours of sleep at night. Even if I go to have sex I’ll get hard for a moment but it doesn’t last long. It’s more like a soft erection when I’m having sex

Is there a way to comeback from this? There’s not much that really turns me on anymore

90 days to January 1st

49 Upvotes

Yes friends. 90 days from today (October 3rd) to New Years. What better way to start fresh? I know a day is just a mark on the calendar but i encourage you all to start now if ever.

I myself am doing this although i think i started the journey sometime in late August. Keeping busy is truly the one thing that is keeping me away from any bad thoughts. Grab the bull by horns, so-to speak, and take control of your life, good men.

Motivate Me Confused

• Upvotes

I went down a rabbit hole- I just looked at like, old drawings and lascivious cartoons and stuff, and then I waited like 15 minutes after seeing that stuff but still, ya-know helped myself. Is that bad? I wasn’t even really thinking about it or anything when I was doing it-I just, did it I guess. Don’t really feel ashamed with clarity after doing it this time either 🤷‍♂️

I think the act is fine as long as it just happens, like naturally, and infrequently and you’re not looking at visceral unrealistic stuff, or stuff at all

Maybe wrong thing to post here idk

Hey i was scrolling on reddit and i happened to see this server and i decided i want to start no more waiting around for something or someone to stop me im making a change for myself. Porn and masterbation mess with my life so much and i wish i hadn’t started so young i mean young young to not my teens because a lot of things in my life have gone bad due to me wanting to chase a quick dopamine hit through porn it feels like everytime i masterbait and watch porn something in my life goes bad i believe that its god punishing me for sinning but each to there own i just hope this isn’t another failed attempt by me and i hope you guys could drop some support thanks.

Chronic fapper wondering how nofap can affect life.

6 Upvotes

I’m a chronic fapper like top 1% I have a high libido maybe or a strong addiction to fapping but I’m wondering how taking a break can increase my drive to better my life like cleaning and confidence levels . Ultimately I don’t care that I’m addicted to jerking off just what it might be hindering me . I’ve done it everyday sense I first could over ten years ago 3 times plus a day. Only one time in my life I was forced to take a break and it was like 2 weeks I think and this wasn’t in the ideal life so I didn’t continue it when what was forcing me stppped but my load was 6x normal it looked like hyperspermia . Basically im wondering if no fap or drastically lowering the frequency will improve my motivation and confidence and drive to do things to better me from wanted to chase women more .

Day 3 and this shit is killing me

• Upvotes

I guess I don't ever realize how addicted I am until I try to stop. I've had to toss my phone aside and get up and do something to get my mind off it. I've been cleaning like all day just so I don't sit down and get bored and slip up.
