Nofap Year 2021
Honestly I can't believe anyone still posts here. 8kun turned out to be a massive disappointment, Knightly disappeared, and our webring board got deleted for inactivity while I was gone. Yet here we are, still refusing to waggle our willies. It's impressive.
Anyway, don't fap ya cunts. Feel free to use this thread for your 2021 nofap year journal. This time for sure, bros, we're all gonna make it.
Welcome to /nofap/
Welcome to /nofap/
This board is for the discussion of nofap, noporn, and the societal implications of fapping and porn.
RULES AND FAQ
http://8kun.top/nofap/rules.html
>1. Stay on topic. The topic is pretty loosely defined here so use some common sense.
>2. Don't post porn. NSFW images will be deleted. Posting NSFW material as a shitty troll attempt will result in a comically long ban. This board is SFW, so keep it that way.
>3. Non-/nofap/pers are welcome to come and question the premise of nofap and to argue against nofap. That said, shitposts, flames, bait, spam, and trolls are not allowed and such threads will be locked or deleted.
Just those three.

Fetish and Fantasy
Help me out with something, anons.
Every time I relapse it's not over red-blooded stuff (boobs, butts, sex) but over a few fetishes which have always captivated me. Sometimes there's not even a particular trigger, just the memory. Often the relapse begins when I'm feeling particularly stressed, zoned out, tired, incompetent, etc.
Several times as a kid my privacy wasn't respected (i wuz seen nekked by women and didn't like it). One of the most difficult fetishes for me to shake off is clothed female/naked male. Obviously I sexualized some sort of fear or pain or embarrassment.
Can someone redpill me on fetishes? Where do they come from? How do you beat them?
No Nut November 2022 Thread
Alright fellas, I just lost my 12 day nofap streak today but I wanna survive NNN 2022. I beat NNN 2020 and NNN 2021, but I'm worried that I won't be able to make it this year. My longest streak so far has been 123 days, but I haven't been able to make it more than 20 days without nutting. Take the pledge, let's fucking win this.
A Daily Update by Muggsy
I lost very hard this week, i let my enemy (the monkey) to control me, to an extent that i didn't even wash my cloths and i didn't even cook, let alone cleaning my room. all this bcuz i get super lazy when i cum.
i think i will accept the truth, and accepting the truth means that i believe in it, and believing means i act based on it.
which only means; you do not fap, better said: preserving the self and its purity.
we did already destroy that, but we still can save it.
i think a man is what he does and what he does is what he says, if this rule is broken from any part that man is not a man.
its a lower form of existance, if god says something and that thing becomes, then if a man says something he should do that thing, since he is not a god but a man. but if he does not fullfill this absolute rule, then he does not exist, but his body.
imagine if god says "it", and "it" does not become, will he still be a god?
and so does the man.
your words are you, if you say good you become good and you are good, if you say evil, you become evil and then you are evil.
not a single false word should come out of your mouth.
in conc: i will update daily, and i will retain from this evil habit. that made me less of a monkey. i choose the truth and i will let the tiger OUT.
NoFap Challenge
Trying no fap since 2019 and have only managed one week with nofap.
I've seen quite a bit of nofap material but it doesn't work for me and lately I fap more often because the girl I like rejected me.
I am committed to continue on nofap and will come here every chance I get to report my progress….. Advice is welcome
Can't stop fucking up
>Trying to do nofap since 2016
>Actually succeed for eight and a half months in 2017 so I know I can do it
>Relapse this January and just can't seem to get back on the wagon no matter what I try
>Try not to think about sex, it doesn't work
>Try meditation, it helps my mood but I still keep fapping
>Keep a checklist and use simple rewards like chocolate, doesn't work
>Try exercise and stretching, again it helps but I can't stop whacking it
>Actually get rid of my laptop so I can only use shared computer. Doesn't help, now I just fap when nobody's there
>Practically every change I make works for a few days, then I fuck up again and it no longer helps
All I really have to show for it is that most of my fetishes have faded or weakened considerably.
I don't like looking at porn, I don't like what it does to me. The fact that I managed to quit last year for an extended period gives me hope, but my inability to replicate it makes me despair.
WAT DO?
removing fetishes
i'm into no fap solely to try to deal with fetishes. anyone got rid of any? i don't care about getting laid or being alpha, i just want to be able to stand myself. what goes well with no fap for removing those desires? Are there any forms of therapy that dont recommend embracing fetishes? Even with a nice and attractive partner its only made me feel worse. Is there good OTC ways to kill sex drive? I've tried years of therapy, telling myself it's for the best, reminding myself it's not a choice and engaging in it with a loved one who was into it. None of it works for me. I love doing that stuff but i just hate myself, often much more, after doing kinky things but even sometimes during. I'm just looking for anything right now because i've tried acceptance for years and it's painful. If it hasn't worked yet, and if this is the only path for people like me then i don't think i'll ever feel ok. It seems like i'm just hopelessly broken and constantly miserable, well not constantly but the enjoyment i get from embracing the kinks comes with worse misery afterward
True Love
I understand how love is a concept from the XVIII century defining some hormonal and chemical reactions.
Quote from another thread: "Sex is meant for procreation only. no matter how bad the urge is, you will know in your heart that this is true."
I don't want love, society told me I should want it, and my hormones helped associate their pull with the rationale behind love. So, all my dreams are gone. I have been daydreaming about a 3d waifu, since I was 5. I've been dreaming of a perfect companionship for 17 years and masturbating to porn for more than a decade. I have to abandon everything now, because they're coming from my biology, and by listening to it, I'll suffer when things like the Coolidge effect, Pareto principle, dating up and the polygamous nature of sexuality are finally manifesting in my life or my partner's life. I wanted love to be like in the movies, but that's sadly not reality. Reality is the biggest letdown, how can anyone say that reality is better than fantasy? I prefer dreaming of falling in love than actually falling in love and later falling out of it or getting my heart broken. I don't know what to do guys, real love is not an option for me, fantasies are also bad for me, what do? How can I dream of my 3d waifu when I know all I like about her are traits that would make her a good mother, traits picked by my subconscious. I find women attractive because of my subconscious, else I would just daydream about an idea, a cloud of personality that can actually be a man, a dog or any body. I am built like this it's not something I inherently want. So how can I dream about our lives together if they're just a strategy of my genes to get me to reproduce, and not real, pure, uninterested love? I just follow my body's agenda, I'm not actually choosing someone in the real life to love.
Inb4 I already said I don't want to play the real life romance lottery and look for someone to love like my waifu. It's realistically not possible, marriage is there as a contract with the government to bind people together when young age and hormones no longer do. It's unrealistic to think everyone will find their soulmate. I'm not willing to get hurt if I fail. I can only say "I love you" so many times to people, before it loses its meaning. I've already said it, and I picked the wrong person, or did the wrong things. I don't think I can love the same again. This time it won't be an innocent approach, it would look more like a strategy.
What do? I see one way, which is dangerous and the other is sad and empty. The dangerous solution is to remain aware of reality, but still dream, still live how I would have wanted, but in my fantasies. Keep watching and enjoying romantic movies, keep my waifu etc. This path is dangerous because porn is also a big part of my fantasy land. I would have to force myself to learn boundaries, and not cross there again. The sad alternative is abandon everything that is associated with love, and live alone, celibate, in real world as well as in my dreams. Abandon everything, daydreaming while listening to music, movies, books, strip everything that is not the product of my rational mind. This emptiness I feel imagining this scenario is scary. What am I supposed to do with my life now? When I listen to music, half of it is about love, so it's just fake now, half of movies are about love, I can't play vidya, they're repetitive, I am left without 70% of my daily activities. I guess I won't buy a ps4 pro this Christmas. I guess I won't be watching those love story animes, I won't play all those video games on my list, I won't have my waifu to keep my mind company. I'm so sad that love is not real that I'm crying. I wanted to become a director, but now I realize I would be making fake stuff that I don't believe in. What am i supposed to do with my life? Reach enlightenment? Help others? I'll do these I guess. Please help.
Do waifus help or hurt?
Are waifus an aid to quitting masturbating or are they a trigger?
For me, there are times when I'm not entirely sure about my waifu. I can't stand the thought of forcing my waifu to do extremely lewd things, but if I give in to fapping, I try to barrage my mind with thoughts of other sluts, hoping to drown out any thought of her, but if the slightest thought of her creeps into my head while I'm fapping, I freak out and keep fapping more cause I get confused about just what the fuck I'm fapping to. So I end up in this vicious cycle where if I use not thinking lewdly about my waifu as one motivation, I manage to last for up to a month or so, but then I break down and start fapping excessively, not because I really want to fap (I know I can stop after one and get back on the wagon cause I have done so before) but because I get confused and just want to flush the thought of my waifu out and I don't feel comfortable stopping until I can successfully fap without the slightest flash of her in my brain to somehow reassure myself.
I've thought about just giving up being a waifufag completely, but I have never felt for any woman before what I feel for her. If I gave up my fantasy of being with her or protecting her, my life would feel empty and I'd probably just fap more to fill that hollow feeling inside me.
help me guys. I don't know what to do.
Christmas
Merry Christmas to anyone that still lingers this God forgotten place, It's been almost two years since I was set on quitting the fapping addiction, and everything is still the same, I'm pathetic fapping on the daily, without an erection even, just to reach orgasm, I reckon that I have allowed myself to relapse time and time again. Turning thirty next year, don't wanna have this ball and chain anymore, hope 2022 will be your year anon, I'll be trying hard, (to not rub while hard) too.
Confessions
I think, we need to confess which particular matters trouble us the most, so that someone who efficiently fought the same urge would help us somehow. Or, on the contrary, someone NOT into our degeneracy might convience us why we should not like what we like, induce revusion, find something disgusting enough we will be able to counteract our desires further on.
As the last measure, just shame into revulsion. It's easier to avoid something we feel shame for when we see some external disgust, then when it is kept strictly a private matter and we can lie ourselves it's alright. noB8, self-esteem is overrated, life is perfectly operable without one. Lots of succsessfull people have always had low self-esteems. And what's the point of having one when you are still weak anyway and do not deserve it? It's just a lie.
Spoilered links to your degeneracy are a must.
I'll start:

NoFap for 4 years
My experience of doing NoFap for 4 years straight… https://youtu.be/H-wn2cTivD4
Zinc Supplements
I've recently started taking zinc supplements for health reasons unrelated to nofap.
I feel like I have much more energy but I've also become a massive coomer.
Before I could go 5 days without fapping minimum, now I'm fapping daily and even fapped twice the other day.
How can I stop while still taking the supplements?
They give me much more energy but also increase the urge to fap by x10
Official effects of nofap general #1
Our threads have ~20 posts each which is not efficient, this makes the good old threads vanish
Lets fix it with generals! BO, make this a sticky
What effects do you observe during nofap? Do you observe the effects others anons do?
For me the objective effects are as follows
>I want to sleep earlier, so sleeping schedule is normalized
>I need an~hour/2 hours less time to sleep and I feel much more refreshed when I wake up
>I now see dreams, multiple ones during a night
>the white dots on the fingernails are gone
>varicocele gone
>I had a jelly like fat thing under the penis head on the right, apparently it formed from fapping too much, the less I fapped the smaller it became, it was 5mm thick and 1 cm long after fap, now it's flat
The subjective effects are the standard package
Possible brain damage from Porn use
I'm 17yo but I started watching porn since I was 8yo, and I just wanted to ask, am I fucked - not literally -? (I mean in the brain stuff, and if the answer is yes, how much and can I recover?)
I have some ADHD syntoms, Depression and Social Anxiety and I'm thinking maybe it's because of fapping and watching (((PORN))).
(Sorry if my english is not that good, English is not my naive language)
A life filled with regret, bad decisions and sorrow
Hi guys, I just wanted to lay down some of the things that can happen to you when you're not serious about it and what happens when you've been consuming porn for years.
That being said, your judgement on my actions would justified and if you people deem me a degnerate, I understand.
When I was a kid, I got molested by my uncle, and throughout the years, that memory was blocked out, a memory so painful and traumatazing that it left me doing things that I would never have imagined.
My porn consumption started out when I was very young, at the age of 11-12, it started out just finding some flash games and those new grounds meet n' fuck game if you remember.
But as the years went on, it got worse, fetishes got more absurd and counter to my nature and it got to the point where my number fetish was shemale and gay porn.
I would go on cam sites and talk to old men who fetishized teenage boys and have chatted with them on cam when I was underage.
Granted this addiction was a great source of shame and excitement, the more I did it, the more I though about meeting some of these men, not because I was attracted to them but because I wanted to feel something besides the shame and focus on the excitement.
I never did meet those people though, thank god. But a couple of years later I found myself in gay chats chatting with the same teenage boys that I was, I told myself well since I did it, it's not that big of a deal.
And then I started chatting with this gay guy and he incited me to download Grindr, and then that was just the start of the end. I met up with men near my area, and after each encounter, I felt more sick to my stomach, but the porn was always there, inciting me to do something more… always something more.
Then my infatuation with trannies just got worse, I started hiring trans escorts to humiliate me and degrade me, because as I saw myself I was a lost case, not deserving to be happy or just be straight.
Fucking years went on, now I'm 25 and every of my sexual partners have been men, even though, everytime that I did this, I just asked myself what is wrong with me, I don't even like doing this
And recently, a couple of months ago, my mother passed away and just from the sheer shock of it, I couldn't consume any porn for the first 2 months, and I found myself, despite the grief, having a much easier time forgetting about the auto-destructive behaviors that I have. And in due time, I found myself naturally being more attracted to women.
One thing that ruined that was the trans porn though, I found it to be a gateway to homosexual behavior and auto-destructive hookups.
Yesterday was my lowest poin ever, I was on Grindr, and decided to meet this tranvestite. Met up and good lord ,one of the ugliest, cracked out fucking ugly motherfuckers I ever met and I still went through with it. The ride home was just a tremendous amound of psychological pain and regert.
So here I am, I find myself here giving you a brief summary of my actions throughout the years of my porn consumption and honestly I feel hopeless and just a shell of my former self, how do I get out of this hole that I dug myself into ? Or am I past redeeming my soul, spirituality and male energy ?
I just want to go back to the days where I had a simple attraction to females, I know it's there and I just want reclaim it, but I feel like my previous actions will always linger like a dark cloud to anything positive I do.
You may not have the same experience as me with porn, and I hope you don't, but I just wanted to show what kind of actions you could end up taking throughout years and year of consuming it, I just feel relentlessly torn between a duality of wanting to get out and leading a virtuous life and the regret I have from my actions.

I thought I'd join your cult, but I've only lasted 3 days.
All was going fine, and I even porker the wife a couple of times, but all went to sh.t today.
The dumb neighbour slut just had to sit in the sun in her front garden, drinking wine with her girlfriends, showing off her legs. A little feather tattoo on her left foot and white pedicure. Oh fuck.
I got my hunting binos out, hid behind a curtain and jizzed all over the floor.
I know I'm a tosser, but I blame the stupid cunt next door.

relationships affeected by overused porn
hello anons.
i'm having quite a trouble quitting porn once its heavily affecting my life with my gf. sometimes during sex my dick just dont get hard, the erectile disfunction is real. basically my brain need more than that to make my dick hard.
tbh, i've known that porn existed when i was 9 or something, and i've been consuming this since then (i'm 21). 12 years of brain damage is being kinda hard to overcome.
i'm not asking for tips and tricks on how to quit this, but i'm trying my best. currently 2 porn-free days and this is an achievement for me. well, if someone here's on the same situation as me, reading relates of overcoming may make me feel better and give me encouragement, thanks for reading til here, just wanted to take this out of my chest.
WTF is fapping included with 'no porn'?
If you're trying to quit porn, quitting fap at the same time is ridiculous. It's a change of thinking and what drives the fapping, no? The goal should be to successfully fap WITHOUT porn. Actually thinking of your gf / wife / a recent date. Transfixing our thoughts to what's currently available, period. If nothing's currently available, then get out and meet someone - anyone - whom you're attracted to, THEN the key becomes NO FAP. Why? Because fapping screws up our pick-up mojo. It also screws up our relationship mojo, so fapping while a lady's physically available is not a good idea. Instead, you should be formulating plans to bed your lady.
If a lady's simply not possible (right now) because of your current situation, then look at no fapping in light of building up your ability to attract women. When we don't fap, we're at our Don Juaniest – we subconciously say and do the right things to attract a woman. Fapping fucks that all up, big league.
Brahmacharya (Celibacy in thought, word, and deed) with the power of Hare Krishna.
I'm on a 546 day streak right now. 546 days is almost 1 year and 6 months. I reached this streak by following the process below.
Chant the Hare Krishna mahamantra daily. On some days I chant it for only half an hour but on some days I go up to 2 hours. But I make it a point to chant it for at least 10 minutes daily and on most days I reach half an hour. The Hare Krishna mahamantra is -
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
I follow these 4 regulative principles while chanting -
1. No meat eating - hard to follow in western countries but if you must eat meat, do not eat beef at any cost. Eat other kinds of meat. Goat is the least harmful kind of meat so try to make do with that. Again, the preferred way is to avoid all kinds of meat and eggs altogether. That's the regulative principle.
EDIT : Why no meat eating? Not only is it most sinful to kill another living entity for the pleasure of the tongue (Bhagavada Gita), meat also increases the lust and sexual desire in the body and the mind. So one is bound to relapse if they indulge in meat eating.
2. No intoxicants - No drugs, no cigarettes, no tea, no coffee, no chocolate, no alcohol, no substances of any kind.
3. No gambling. Try to walk on the path of truth. No need to lie unecessarily. Lying is a sinful activity which puts a spiritual burden upon us and makes us heavier.
4. No illicit sex (no PMO - porn, masturbation, orgasm, no adult activities with women, no sexual intercourse).
EDIT : Brahmacharya means pure celibacy. That requires total avoidance of all sexual activities. However if one is married there is a slight allowance. One can engage in sexual intercourse but only for the purpose of producing a child. Not for wanton enjoyment. Once they have as many children as they desired they have to stop indulging in sex life.
There is quite literally volumes more to be said about on this matter. Srila Prabhupada has written more than 80 books on the subject of Krishna Consciousness. But this is the basic process and if one follows it one can atleast achieve perfect brahmacharya (celibacy in thought, word, and deed).
You can approach it as a mantra meditation to achieve peace and tranquillity and control over the mind, not necessarily as a way to worship Krishna.
The effects of chanting this mahamantra are multifarious. Thoughts become cleaner and more pure, memory becomes sharper, determination grows incredibly strong, intelligence becomes fixed and concentrated, fearlessness comes etc.
Another thing I used to do was to read about the benefits of Brahmacharya very often to remind me of the rewards and keep me motivated to strive towards their attainment. I have made a list of the benefits here - https://www.reddit.com/r/Semenretention/comments/lolxze/some_benefits_of_brahmacharya_celibacy_in_thought/ .
If anyone is interested in this process and wants to go deeper and see what lies beyond Brahmacharya feel free to message me. I do voicecalls with people on Telegram on the weekends.
AM I DISABLED
>22 year old virgin
>Used to jack off anywhere between 2 and 7 times a day
>Mostly because I'm bored/out of habit rarely because I'm actually horny
Began nofap-noporn 10 days ago, my mind is clear, I can study more efficiently, MUCH more focused, plenty of motivation, I am unable to get depressed. This is the best thing I've ever done. I was considering visiting a shrink or something to prescribe me ADHD medication because it was getting unbearable how it took me 4 hours to go through like 10 pages of study material.
My issue is that I don't even feel the urge to go back to jacking off or looking at porn. Iam simply just not horny unless I look at girls in movies doing sexual shit or whatever. I don't even think about girls in general(though now I find average girls attractive and fuckable as opposed to before where I thought any girl below 8 passed through my eyes). Just thinking of getting shit done or improving myself. I stopped getting morning woods at 17 years old but my erections are solid (i dont have ED). Am I just low libido? Have I fucked my brain in some way? Should I visit a doctor?
Widespread pornography addiction and transgender rates
I've had this idea for a while that is based both on anecdote and logical connections to the known effects of porn addiction. Essentially it is that transgender rates have skyrocketed not because that many people were just trans before but could only admit it now, but because people are being programmed by our pornographic society to want to embody their fantasies, they see social utility or mobility in becoming a woman or a man, and because they are being collectively groomed to think that any depressive episodes (which are widespread considering industrialized societies have produced the highest suicide and depression rates in history by many magnitudes) is probably because they have gender dysphoria.
I have a friend who I knew my whole life and when he/she was 18, they told me they were trans. We were both incredibly helpless and depraved porn addicts. Its not until I recovered from my porn addiction about a year ago that I realized just how much porn was warping and poisoning my mind. I was into all kinds of disgusting kinks and fetishes when I was addicted that I have no interest in now and find very repulsive. I also thought I was a 'femboy' or even potentially could see myself as trans, but I am now very proud and grateful for the beautiful gift that is masculinity.
I wondered if perhaps my friend had been led to gender dysphoria by porn addiction. He would literally come home every day and lock himself in his room to browse and jerk off to porn for hours. Every day. And his fetishes got more depraved over time just like mine did because sex addiction depends on new stimuli and novelty to keep away tolerance. When I told my friend about my experience recovering from porn addiction and how much it was twisting my mind in a powerful way. he/she got extremely defensive and angry with me, like suggesting to a heroin addict that maybe they'd be better without heroin (and I didn't even tell them to stop or suggest that, I just shared my experience and how much better I felt after being porn-free).
I met another trans person a few years ago and got to know them. Male-to-female. Surprise surprise, raging porn addict sine 11 years old. This isn't too shocking, around 47% of 14 year olds today are porn consumers and its very rare to find someone who does not consume porn, and if they don't watch porn they are ostracized as prude.
I strongly think there is a large probability that the way porn poisons your mind is making way more people question their gender.

The end
I've come to the conclusion that there is no hope for me, no matter how much I try, how long I go without this poison it will always haunt me, I will never recover from this addiction. I'm in my mid 20's and so far I have wasted my life. I have no friends, a garbage politics degree and no hope for the future. I have wasted all my teenage years by being addicted to porn and videogames. Never had a serious relationship, not even able to have sex due to PIED. I am seriously contemplating about becoming a monk, maybe I will find peace.
I wish everyone the best, stop using this poison before it's too late!
Pretty good trick for nofap
Try downloading an "image blocker" or "image hider" plugin for your browser and enable it all the time unless you really need the images shown (you don't). This will make it way easier for you. And even better than that is quitting the internet totally. If I wasn't in college I would be throwing the modem off the window rn. I'm sure most of you actually don't need to browse the internet besides some stupid stuff to waste your free time. Try reading a nice book instead. Download lots of books you like and disconnect your computer from the internet and spend all the time reading them if you have nothing else to do.
Porn merchants are stepping up their propaganda
>>>/n/695587
As the newer generation becomes redpilled on porn, the creators and pushers of all filth are getting worried about our "health", and reassures us that masturbating to cuck porn is the #1 healthiest thing a human being can do. Don't ask questions, don't look into how porn degrades your mind and turns you into a passive numale, just listen and believe.
Nofap Journal
>be me
>16 years old and have been trying to do nofap for a year and a half
>everytime I relapse on a streak my addiction gets worse
>giving up
I have thus decided to create a journal of which to put upon my progress of my new attempt. I WILL update this everyday until I have relapsed. I have tried everything from hypnosis, porn blockers, no computer, and self harm. If this fails, I guess i'll just slump deeper onto my hatred of myself for lacking control.
Day 1
How the 12 steps serve nofap
Under the 12 step model, resentments fuel relapses. Steps 4 and 10 are about removing or at least processing those resentments, which increase your faith in a higher power. Maybe you don't have a lot of amends (steps 8 and 9) to make over fapping, but maybe you owe amends to yourself for wasted time and potential. Once you start praying and meditating (step 11) you may find yourself in a position to start helping others nofap (step 12).
Perhaps you are not entirely powerless to avoid fapping, but if you find yourself relapsing often, you can probably admit powerlessness over the urge to keep going once you cave in the first time, and some degree of powerless over the stimuli that you encounter. If you have any faith in a power greater than yourself, you can increase your connection to that higher power by turning your will over to it (which can be as simple as the spirituality of two people helping each other resist the urge to fap).
I know many people don't like the 12 steps because of the word "God" but in the 12 steps any conception of God will do and it seems like there are at least some believers in here. Sex Addicts Anonymous is a 12 step fellowship for compulsive fappers and other sex addicts.
Autogynephilia
Has anyone successfully stopped thoughts of autogynephilia by abstaining from porn and masturbation?
Every time I ride my dildo and masturbate pretending I'm a girl an intense wave of depression comes over me when once I actually cum and starkly realize that I'm not, and will never be, a pretty girl.
I don't think I'm gay or want to be transgender, since these thoughts only started building once I was in my mid-20s, so I'm assuming it's the result of too much pornography. I'm just wondering if it is too late for me or if there's anything I can do to reverse it.
I've accepted that I need to work harder on actually being a man, but right now my sexual desires are that of a girl's, and so I have no motivation to enact that change.
How to overcome blacked.com fetish?
So far it's the only thing that has the most power over my fap addiction. I am very much aware of the reality that white women don't actually like black men, and that interracial marriages are extremely rare and that racemixing is dangerous and everything, but somehow I still get a retardedly fast heartbeat when I stuble across a "blacked.com" thread here and there, or even the slightest mention of it.
What do I do? How do I kill off this specific fetish? Please help anons

NEED SERIOUS HELP
Hey bois, I'm a 29er guy who's about to be 30 soon and trying to fix his life through from poverty to other things. and addictions in which fapping also included..
let me tell you about my brief internet history, I was 9 years old when I'm first introduced to Rotten by my cousin. It was the beauty website I was lurking every week, fearing and probably pushing my imagination towards gruesome things, gore and desolation. My life has been full on pc and video games and internet. I hated it. I hate electricity and electronics in general I still hate it, yet I'm here. I don't even have a cellphone, touching it hurts my nerves somehow. lately heard that it uses your bio energy, rather than reflecting from its own battery.
However, here and there after years, and I've been introduced into 4chin by some other website I frequented, then, a big turnpoint in my life had come, I hopped on the /b/ train and downfall of my youth, psychology and sanity started. I've seen most of the dirtiest, naughtiest, disgusting stuff yet things that made Rotten look like daily newspaper I vaguely remember. I've seen daisy's destruction, I've seen extreme gore, conflicts, animal abuse and I'm still sometimes getting extreme depression because of those. Nobody told me I wouldn't be able to forget some sort of things. forever perhaps. Of course I had fun, so much fun. that also moshed my brain and psychology because I had fun interlaced with horror. everyday and every week. This sudden and sharp happiness and sadness switches in short periods, was lately I've learned, also one of the deep state mind control methods.

People cant do nofap because they arent proactive with defense and succumb to boredom
Its fucked up, everything was going fine then I did yoga and was instantly aroused, it was like “come on anon, just press this button, just move your hand right here, its just one move, then a one second dopamine release which leads to nowhere !”
And as usual it literally lead me nowhere, but I at least came back to earth after a few days instead of the usual month - months.
The key is to not use social media. Dont look at any girl. Literally delete women from your brain, they are parasites who exist only to take and multiply the problems here. Life is a fucking scam, when you jack off you are injecting yourself full force back into the matrix. I literally have the exact same mental state I would with the stupid dopamine release which is the equivalent of pulling the plug on a computer.
Mutual companionship is better than any orgasm. Fuck religion, ban sex, create people in labs.
losses
Besides your dignity and countless hours of your time what else have you lost because of your fap addiction? I've just been scammed out of a couple of dollars on the promise of a video call, nothing taxing, can't really justify my actions though, money is money and is better used elsewhere, but of course blinded by my fap addiction I allowed myself to be silly like that, so it was a hit on my wallet, my dignity and my time, been one day clean, what about you guys?

PURE 20's
If I am able to, I will be able to create a board on this site which will be called /pure20s/ and will be even broader than nofap. It will be discussion of nofap hardmode, combined with discussion of education, etc. that will make the 2020s the most pure and amazing decade so far. We have had decades like the 60's and 70's which have had hippies, and we have had decades like the 80's and 90's which have had various types of music dominating culture, and we have had the 1920's which were dominated by people getting around the alcohol ban. It is time to have a decade that is dominated by the opposite culture, a culture that both brings the good aspects of ancient times and combines it with the great knowledge of modern times. If the board is able to be created, I will update this thread. I am happy about the existence of this board, /nofap/.
How can you release urges when you're ugly?
quit for about 4 months now but because of leaf restrictions, cant really see anyone, and i never had any woman attracted to me before the fake pandemic anyways, how can i release any urges without anything to release it into?
inb4 gym(already do), hobbies(most of hobbies got killed by covid), work for your goals(pretty well off now)
I disagree about No-Fap. I think it's a scam. I explain why.
This is my honest perspective on it and I'm open to having a discussion about it. I really believe the whole thing is a trap to get people to stop thinking clearly so it ruins their life. If my thread gets deleted I'm not sure what I will think, but I will probably believe that my concerns are confirmed.
Here I will present my perspective:
nofap was created by hyper leftist self hating anorexic OR obese roastie hyper-feminist misandrist social justice warrior outrage mob women with pointy glasses, too much make up, heels that are wayyyyy too high and exaggerated, and blue/green/pink dyed hair.
They created nofap so that men would hate their own bodies and themselves as much as women hate their own bodies and themselves. It's basically an MK ultra psychological warfare mindfuck like the things women say at the very end of arguments that just fucks your head for a whole week.
Meanwhile they contradict themselves by glorifying female sexuality, but demonizing male sexuality.
These people believe that men don't have the right to enjoy the freedom of brining themselves to orgasm by natural and safe and risk free means in the privacy of their own home, and seek to shame men and make them feel depressed and miserable for doing a healthy and happy natural thing that can't result in STD's or Pregnancy. Masturbation.
The end goal is that they know men are horny no matter what, so they convince them they can't fap, and then mens minds automatically rationalize that if they can't fap they must fuck, and then they bombard us with the incel insults to use peer pressure and bullying to push us into getting into a relationship and getting married to one of these "WOMYN" (not any of the unicorn rare nice ones) in order to achieve sex, because coomming in a womyn is totally different than coomming with your hand right? wrong, both ways you coomed. But then guess what, you're trapped! She's pregnant! Or maybe not, but both ways she divorce rapes you RIGHT in the fucking bank account and takes over half of all your shit, takes your healthy happy dog that you've had for years and puts him down the next day and raises your kid (while forcing you to pay child support) to become a liberal like them.
if you fap, a few minutes later men are like "HAHA sex… how stupid, I don't give a fuck…"
You fap, and then suddenly everything is so clear. "Why would I ever do this?" all the confusion and haze and fog and sexual drunkness goes away in an instant.
If you're ever thinking about being in a relationship with someone, excuse yourself and go fap and then come back and ask yourself "is this the same person I think I was going to be with a moment ago?" a lot of the time you will be like "whoa what the fuck, GOODBYE WITCH!" and just fucking run and don't look back. Don't pump and dump these witches either. Just steer the fuck CLEAR. It's not an honorable thing to do anyway, even if they don't have any honor. It's just not right.
these satanic "womyn" and other crazy liberal leftist democrat outrage mob social justice warriors actually fear this because when men fap their "beer goggles" come RIGHT off and they see womyn for what they really are and lose interest immediately.
It's scary because they actually want men to lose control, and they know what buttons to push to make men fear and worry until they are vulnerable to being raped by making them want to have sex, essentially men are having consensual sex with womyn, but in the process the man is raped.
FAP.
FAP LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.
BECAUSE IT DOES.
You are OK, please give yourself a break
I hate to see everyone hurting. I understand your desire to break an addiction, I have my own of different kind but overpowering none the less. But please give yourself a break about the things that are turning you on. They are just thoughts, in most cases. And the more you try to repress them the more they will own you.
These a hard times for people. Things are bleak and there seems to be nothing to look forward to. But you are a human and have a brain that needs to be stimulated (I mean mentally not sexually!). So it starts to think of things that are out of the norm for yourself. How boring would life be if it was all the same all the time. I hate to see people beating themselves up so much. There are plenty of people to put you down, don’t do it yourself!
But I do know for a fact that the more you try to stop thinking of something the more your brain will want to think about it. Kinda like “don’t push this button”, what’s the next thing you do? Exactly. Then if you add tons of idle time and the layer of self inflicted shame and guilt and you have yourself a Fetish my friends. It’s kinda like the zen thing, just let the thoughts come and go and that’s all they are, thoughts. Some people it may be more then just thoughts, but I know guilt and shame make everything harder everything worse. Just take it easy on yourself, we are all good people. I hope this helps, truly.
When is the time to fuk?
I was/is a pretty bad addict. So I have been on nofap for 4-5 months now, occasionally peeking at porn, but mostly just encountered some softcore on the chans and thats all. Not full monk mode but I only jacked off 2 times without porn.
I have this female friend who knows about my situation and is ready and willing when I'm ready. She has agreed to help me "test". My only problem is I don't know if I could at the moment. She's cool and all, and of course knows about all of this, but I don't want to fuck this up. I'm probably flatlining, I'm not even horny for the past 1-2 months. What do?
/nofap/ diary - let's do it
It's 25/01/21, I'm aiming initially for three months without watching porn, jerking off or ejaculating, but time and effort will tell if I get further from there.
I want to purify my soul, I want to meditate and exercise, breath clean air and heal myself. I've been poisoned for a long time now.
Fuck you porn industry, fuck you demons on earth.
How do you keep from getting turned on by mundane things?
How does one keep from getting aroused by mundane things like tile patterns, doorknobs and the state of Ohio? If you find those things titillating, they will be very hard to avoid, no matter how committed you are.
For example, I get turned on by the thought of women fainting. I used to collect images and videos of it happening, even though I never had a normal porn collection.
Now days I have my habit mostly under control, but I still get the urge to fap whenever I find a reference to a woman fainting. This doesn't happen often, but when it does I'm turned on right away, especially if it was unexpected.
How do I deal with this fetish? Is there a way to "un-kink" myself? Do I just have to live with it as best I can?
Disgusted with myself
Feels like I'm in pure hell. I'm suffering in fake pleasure. I've sank so low.
My self esteem was already low and because of constant fails, it went even lower.
And I fetishized it all. It all starts with some femdom and now I'm looking out for newest futa on male crap.
I'm disgusted with myself. Everything is shit and loathsome. I hate myself even writing this because it's all just useless blackpilling whining into the void.
I used to write a diary but the amount of failed promises there made it too embarassing and pointless to continue. Oh, the countless "This is it", "Now, I'll be clean for good", etc.
I even became somewhat religious because of this all but I can't help but think that it's over for me, I'm going to hell for sure because of how much I sinned and continue to sin daily. I ask God to give me strength to defeat this addiction but I don't know. Nothing's working out lately.
Starting to seriously consider ending it all anons.
I don't know how to get myself out of this hole, never felt so low in my life.
Before even attempting to nofap, you must first master pulling the energy up your spine
I've tried and failed many times in the past, but this time something is different. I'm currently about 3 weeks in and I didn't even plan on doing nofap, I only decided to stick to it about 7 days in once I realized what I can do.
Before I had a problem that I believe plagues 99.9% of nofapers and 100% of the failed nofapers. It is the build up of the sexual energy in the lower chakras which can only result in inevitable explosion, unless you learn how to pull it through the spine to the upper chakras. Now I'm using the term "chakras" here because it's the most popular term for energetic centers of human body, I'm not well versed in teachings that the term comes from. By opening the 2 lowermost chakras, you can instantly transmutate the sexual urge into power which can be used in any of the upper chakras depending on how far you pull it. I used to get very strong sexual urges several times a day and by focusing awareness to the pathway between root and sacral and then pulling it further up the spine to solar I learned that I can make the sexual urge die within 10 seconds after which I feel energized which can on a downside make it hard to sleep unless you learn how to direct it through the crown. With time, this process started happening by itself.
The problem is that attaining such ability is not easy and I really can't offer a concrete guide, only some guidelines. Meditate. A lot. Reach the state of perfect stillness. This is where the magic happens. Learn to control your awareness. Don't force it, the key is in the opposite - learn to let go. Awareness is like a magnet for energy and by focusing it on root you hook the energy which you can then drive wherever you want. But again and I can't stress this enough - don't force it. Working with awareness is opposite from working with muscles. You don't make it work, you let it work. I'd compare it to playing with a shy cat.
Also check out this clip: I know you'll find it cringe but it actually contains very useful advice, especially the part about water chakra which is a major concern for all of you.
Porn and sex distract from reality
Something doesn't need to be pleasurable to save one from discontent. It only needs to be distracting enough to make you forget your inner discontent.
The average person is aware of society's downward spiral. Addictions to immediately rewarding activities and entertainment are increasing. The internet CAN be used in an appropriate manner, but it usually IS NOT. It makes people more reclusive, demoralizes people, and ends up making society fall apart even faster.
It isn't just porn. Sex (and the pursuit of it) also make you forget. You don't remember the bleakness of the real world when you pursue something with the assumption that you'll be happy when you obtain it. However, the despair is only greater when you fail to do so.
Manage to have sex with someone and you'll get bored after a handful of times. This is proven by a scientific survey, and one of the arguments against porn.
Have sex with a different person each time, you'll get into weird stuff. This is proven by how porn causes desensitization, however, this rarely happens from actual sex in reality.
A lot of people do nofap in order to get a real partner. This is progress, but its basis is mistaken. The concept portrays itself as an end in itself, rather than a step of the process.
Anything that distracts you from the dark and cold way the world is, from your bad memories and all of the bad experiences you've had with people, is a coping mechanism and it will spawn weakness.
Rejections will only drip more toxic waste into that dark pit. Whereas pleasure will only make it that much more toxic. Either way, you lose.
That's why surrendering and sinking into it is the only rational thing you can do. Your inner demons will never go away and the world will never cease to be a bad place. However, you can make yourself at home here. Accept the horrors of reality and you'll be free.
Joining in
Joining this fucking cult again
Stress = binging
Hangover = binging
Need to find better ways to cope with stress
I weight lift and exercise regularly and if you looked at me. You wouldn't see a coomer, but what lies within is always invisible to the naked eye.
Banned from nofap for saying the gamer word and "bitch" so this'll be my temple.
So with that said: Hi!
Huge flatline?
What's with the extremely long flatlines? I have been doing this for a few months and after the initial extreme urge, I started to feel nothing. It's not even a challenge anymore. I had previous streaks, although with a bit more discipline, but then after a while I always started to be mega horny after a while.
0 days without jewish trickerhinnos
Just fugged up my journey trying to go 1year without watching "the junk" starting this december, I was thinking about posting my progress in some forum to commit myself seriously and stop playing around with my life, hope this is feesable here cause I used to lurk about.
Nofap Dream Journal (worksafe please)
I’ve experienced better sleep and vivid dreaming since getting with nofap. Detail and lucidity are increasing with each sucessive night. It’s been a big motivator; I don’t want PMO to ruin my dream journal any more.
What’s your experience with this?
Post dreams and the night they ocurred on.
(nothing explicit please, obviously)
Morning of day 4 - I was carying a thin, sickly old man in my arms through a hotel. Then I realized he was Alan Watts and his breath smelled like alcohol.
Morning of day 5 - I was retrieving a white electric guitar from the bottom of my swimming pool. I got into a golden elevator and the walls started closing in, but I climbed up the walls. I remember making the Knuckles-climbing sound from Sonic Adventure 2.
Nofap Success
In a few days I'll hit the 6 month mark of nofap - the momentum this has generated makes it a lot easier to continue forward, and for the most part I think I am in the free and clear with very little risk of falling back my old ways at this point. I want to share my thoughts about this streak and how I managed to achieve it, after constantly trying and failing to break free over a period of 9 years. Whether this applies to you or anyone else, I truly could not say. It's fairly obvious to most, except for a few dim souls here and there, that while nofapping, you're not supposed to look at porn, but it goes beyond that. You truly need to avoid anything that could trigger an urgewave in you. The problem with urgewaves is that they reconfigure one's basic values in the moment by invoking apathy in the face of a greater desire, and it's entirely outside of one's control. Sometimes these moments can be pushed through with sheer willpower, but willpower is finite. The key, I have found, is to avoid the urgewaves altogether, as much as possible, by avoiding anything and everything that could trigger them. This means:
1. Do not look at porn (obviously).
2. Do not look at ANY media containing suggestive content like "softcore" stuff, suggestive-but-SFW type images, etc.
3. Do not look at ANY image that even invokes a slight tingle in your mind - even if there is nothing particularly sexual in nature about the image, it could be a fully clothed woman in a non-suggestive pose. If it invokes even so much as the slightest hint of desire, leave.
4. If you are on a website, or watching TV, or playing a game, where there is anything being posted or displayed that could trigger an urgewave, even if it's a SFW site or piece of media - turn it off, close the tab, go do something else.
5. If you see a pretty girl in real life - avert thine eyes. Do not check her out. Do not feed the beast.
6. In the end, the final boss - your brain - will do whatever it takes to go back, and will invent its own fantasies and mental pornography. I made the mistake of allowing myself to indulge in these mental fantasies in the past by rationalizing to myself that it was alright because it wasn't "real porn". This resulted in the destruction of some very promising streaks. Watching porn in your mind's eye is maybe not quite as risky as watching internet porn, but porn is porn. Stop thinking about it.
Naturally, I am not suggesting that you should never be able to indulge in the sight of a sexy woman ever again. For my own part, I have found that over time I've built up something of a resistance, which allows me to lower my guard. It's not a problem for me to see a suggestive image now - but if I indulge too much, I will increase the risk of experiencing urgewaves that could undermine my effort. In the beginning however, you need to be strict with yourself, you need to be hardcore. Your sexual desire is out of whack and a strong medicine is needed in order to put it back to a more natural state. You should definitely never look at porn or think pornographic thoughts ever again, but as time goes on you don't have to be as strict as I've outlined in my 6 points. Just be careful not to awaken the fap demon - it never truly goes away, but it can be put to rest.
As far as sex goes, I have not had sex at all in this time. However, I would only *prescribe* no-sex for the initial 3-month "reset" period. After that, have sex if you want. If you want to continue without it, continue with no-sex. But no matter what you do, never go back to masturbation and porn.
Can nofap cure the gay?
I was reading through some threads here and a lot of anons seem to be dealing with homosexuality. A few even posting that they had cured their attraction to men/traps through nofap. Obviously this goes against everything I have been told about the human sexuality by the (((experts))), but I don't put much stock in what they say.
Anyway, let me tell you a bit about myself. I first found porn at about age 10, for the first 5 years, all I looked at was women. I remember stumbling across some gay/trap porn a few times and feeling disgusted. Then I got into anime and found 4chan, where I was bombarded with trap porn. I eventually started jerking off to the stuff. After that, it only got more degenerate: crossdressers, then outright gay shit.
As I have become more right wing I have realized just how degenerate homosexuality and pornography are. I don't feel like this is an innate part of who I am(I remember exclusively getting turned on by women and being disgusted by faggotry). Was this caused by porn? Can I get rid of this through nofap?
wet dreams
Wet dreams are a myth.
As I said before in a different post, I have been no fap for 43 days and am 21 years old so why are there no wet dreams. I'll tell you why. They DON'T exist. it's a jewish lie to get people not to go NO FAP it's just a SCARE TACTIC PEOPLE.

2020 HERE WE GOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
/nofap/ Has come a long way since it's inception by PLAGUE_DOCTOR all the way back in 2015. We went from an obscure board among many, to a top 50 board, to getting the entire website deleted, but even despite it all, we are still here, the way of nofap and self improvement lives on no matter the platform.
Today is the start of a new year, that means the rare chance to get the honor of completing a year of nofap, both to you who has only just begin on the journey towards self improvement, and a fresh chance for the people that have been struggling for years.
Sleep right, eat right, read and learn, work out, hang out with the right people, stop being a slave to lust or other vices, so many areas were we can move forwards so don't miss the chance to do so.
I wish everyone, both beginners and veterans strength and the best of luck in yet another year of self improvement. Make this year yours, make this new decade yours.
And remember:
>It only gets easier the longer you do it.
>Half of the essence of nofap is not to DO something, but precisely to do NOTHING.
>The rules of the game are no PMO, no porn, masturbation and orgasm. Each one of these leads into the other and feed the entire cycle.
>The other half of nofap is the will for self improvement. Try to use the positives from nofap to change up your day routine and cultivate your potential. Not only will nofap become easier, your live will improve. So go do push ups, go for a walk, go read those books you have had for years now, go finish what you started with nofap.
We can all make it if we try, you have everything you need withing yourself to do so, and if you are found wanting, you have the board to help.
Have a great 2020 and don't fap ya cunts.
Wet dreams
I started nofap this christmas, relapsed january the 18th but been clean since then.
However I've had 2 wet dreams in the period, one sometime last week and one just last night which I was able to wake up from and stop myself in time. I can't 100% remember what I was dreaming about but I'm sure it was sex related in some way
Do wet dreams count as losing and is there any way I can stop them?
also, this is probably my longest "streak" in quiet a while if ever. I don't think that my fap to time ratio have been this great before so I'm quite proud of myself, I feel great
Recreational sex is itself degenerate.
The ultimate redpill is is that recreational sex itself leads to decadence of society. The more it is practiced, the faster it will fall. The ultimate path to recovery of almost all plagues of society is to keep the mind completely away from the idea of sex itself. Is it a wonder almost every time tested religion requires chastity.
The Brahmacharis (Vedic hindus who invented yoga) and the Buddhist Monks including Guatama Buddha himself made this crystal clear too. The Bible also almost says this. A few philosophers of orthodox Christianity (such as Clement of Alexandria, pic related) have said the same thing.
Modern science proclaiming "Have more sex, masturbate more, watch more porn goy, or you'll get cancer!" is all bullshit. All of it. It reeks of jew engineered studies to keep the goyim confused and weak and rob them of their masculinity to keep them from rebelling. These are the same people pushing "gender fluidity" and transexuality on children. It makes so much sense that they get their own dicks cut, which lessens the sensations of orgasms so they won't be as attracted to sex thus spending more time conquering the goyim.
Literally an involuntary celibate thanks to wife
Okay, you smug fucks, riddle me this:
>married 25 years
>have not had sex for last three because wife appears to have become a foodandbadtelevisionsexual
>have fallen into a weekly semen purge because I have a much higher sex drive than her (mind you, I'm pretty sure rocks have a higher sex drive) and it feels like my boys are bursting at the 7-10 day mark
>know it's time when I'm grinding my teeth to powder
>don't demand sex because, thanks to a nervous breakdown 10 years ago, I'd be fucked without her, but I'm not fucked WITH her, either, if you get my drift
>Silver fucking Anniversary rolls around
>Tells me we should have sex the day after because she intends to fill her gaping maw and will feel too bloated to fuck
>Stew on it a bit and then tell her how upset I am that she chose food over my needs once again on a very special day
>She just gives me a blank look like she can't see the problem
So my question is, what is the fucking point in a 47-year-old man doing nofap? I'd rather drain my testosterone and feel alive for five seconds once a week than store up the poison just in case a very rotund woman suddenly finds her libido. Can anyone tell me one good reason why I shouldn't start shopping for a fleshlight or whatever? Please, I WANT a reason to not give up on this asexual hippo, but I can't take the lack of affection any longer.
No Fap diary of a madman
This is day 0, I want to end this addiction, but I'm still unable of convincing myself and as a result keep falling on the trap time and time again, long story short, I'm 27 years old, soon to be 28, my background is similar to many of the ones I've read on here, no sense in dwelling in my past or assigning guilt, still, I know I did this to myself, I became addicted because I choose to look out for the filth instead of engaging in other more productive activities while in middle and high school, maybe I was sheltered, and shy because of that, still had plenty of chances to come out of my shell and didn't take them, the only gf I had was in middle school, at least I was the one that asked her out (over the internet but still), only ever got as far with as to hold her hand before we broke up and I just went back to porn, so still a virgin, since I avoided relationships or female contact all together since then, even when they approached me.
I have been drifting through life without purpose or meaning, have a job, but no career prospects, no moving out of my parents house plans in the near future, etc, but I know what it must transpire to even start thinking about bettering my situation, and that thing is to stop pissing away all my time and energy either sleeping, mindlessly watching youtube and the like, and of course masturbating which drains me of my energy and time, have read the Paul Allen's hacked book, easy peasy method to stop porn addiction two times already, but always come back to square one, I want to keep myself accountable now, that's why I made this thread,
It's gotten to this point, because I wasted away the sunday in which I had to do car maintenance and cleaning around my filth loitering about all day on sexual chats and on and off viewing porn, only to be here, awake until 6 am after binging in sexual chats again and finally rubbing one out, only to do so again two hours later, I'm going to sleep now, upon waking up I'll do a deep look to remind me not to engage in porn and the like.
I'll post the book which I grabbed from a thread on /v/ before the site shutdown if anyone is interested, couldn't find it in the sticky, the times I've read it I understand and agree to everything but I'm unable of changing my routine I keep drifting, pissing life away and end up wrapped in porn, my hand wrapped around my dick, NO MORE.
Anti-Fap Material
This is a thread for people who are on the verge of giving in.
Post pics that would easily kill your erection/urge to fap. I'd say don't post anything too graphic, but I suppose that's up to the mods.
Sorry if this is shitty material. I have some gore but I'm not sure if that's allowed.
I fucking failed no fap again
I feel disgusted in my self. I jerk off in the bath room with my grandpa sleeping in the other room. I went on a year streak of nofap but now I can barley hold a week. It pains me knowing that if I could have just ignored it that I would feel better and more proud of myself for resisting the urge. I'm fucking pathetic. Now I go to bed with that dreadful disgusting feeling inside. I'm sorry god. I'm sorry everyone. I'm sorry me. I let us all down
p folder
Cant bring myself to delete the porn I collected always go to folder look around and go
>hmm this is rare
>this scene is nice
etc.
Whats even worse that when I deleted it before I brought it back in no time. seems the fap and collecting this stuff became part of my life and I cant let go.
Journal
Might as well
>day 51
Longest streak but I'm still not feeling much to be hoenst, neither psychological or physical change or improvement. I've had probably 5 wet dreams as far as I can remember but been quite aw while without them even thought I had an erotic dream last night.
Last week was kinda rough, I almost lost it but managed to push through.
Today I feel like shit, maybe I slept too long because it's sunday but I feel very mentally exhausted and upset, I don't even want to play videogames. I went outside for a couple of hours, made a campfire and chilled a bit but I'm just not feeling it. I have this urge to just drive somewhere and camp outside in some forest tonight but I don't have the energy or drive to do it.
I'm getting back into work next week or so, I'm looking forward to doing something again but at the same time I'm a bit scared because I know that when I get home from work and I'm tired there is nothing better than having a fap. Relaxing in my chair or bed and just rubbing one out feels so fucking great when I'm tired after a days work, feels very rewarding.
I don't see any difference in my behaviour, I'm still extremly shy and "boring". I'm a bit lonely but at the same time I don't want to be with other people
Maybe it will get better
8th day
The most I've ever done is ~14 days, unintentionally. I started with purpose ~2 years ago, and found the intensity after 3-5 days kind of exciting. Invigorating, in a way that you would think coincides with a higher T-level, though I don't require that to be the case. Morning wood is a more positive experience than is fapping.
So I've mostly gone for three day stretches. Occasionally I hit 10, but lately think that aiming for three times a month is like saying you're only going to shoot heroin occasionally. How often does that work out for people?
Lately I'm also thinking it's better not to watch the clock too much; whether it's been 3 days or 300 doesn't change my plans. If there's no endpoint, it doesn't matter when it began. There's no good time to interrupt the accretion of virtue.
Not sure what I expect to get out of this, other than to maintain a virtuous spiral of which nofap is one thing among many. I used to be sedentary, became fit. Had bad eating habits, then cut grains and did intermittent fasting and subsequently lost four belt sizes. And that, of course, dovetails: when you weigh 20 pounds less, changing your body composition from fat to muscle, you get a synergistic boost to your running speed. When running is fun and easy, you tend to do more of it, and so on, ever upward.
So I'm wondering what I might get out of nofap if I actually stick to it for more than a couple weeks. Not just the sense of self-overcoming, but maybe something to do with "transmuting" the surfeit of energy, through meditation.
Turns out I'm asexual
Hello,
I wanted to make this thread in reddit, but I didn't have the time to make an account.
I have fapped to porn since my teenage years. I never had a real sexual fantasy involving people. Since my dick wasn't working during sex, I thought that the problem was porn.
After many years of beating myself up, involving several months of no PMO, over one year of no P with MO, PMO-streaks, I didn't really notice a difference in anything aside from a short-term increased libido after abstaining. Then I found the asexual community.
I just wanted to let u guys know that asexuality is a real thing, and the problem isn't necessarily porn. If you are an asexual, no amount of abstaining from PMO will "heal you". Since then, I have accepted myself and luckily got an asexual gf. I hope that people like me will find some use from this post.
The Reason You Fail
You keep relapsing because you like being horny.
You like sexual fantasies. You like checking out girls asses on the street and thinking about them. When you read that last sentence, you enjoyed the sexual suggestiveness of the idea of looking at girl's asses. You try to force yourself to nofap, but you wallow in your lust. You 'accidentally' see porn, going to /b/ for 'no reason', clicking on lewd images on the chans 'out of curiosity'.
Then you think well, I'll just look at some softcore images because I'm bored. Then some softcore videos, then hardcore… and it's over. You're no longer in a state where you can control yourself, so, overtaken by the lust you've built up, you resign yourself to fapping and starting again. You feel terrible afterwards, but in the moment, it seems like you HAVE to fap. You don't really have a choice. You feel trapped in a cycle.
The key is to not begin the cycle. DON'T FEED THE LUST. These shitty line graphs are here to illustrate how to never fap again. Every upward movement is you getting hornier, every downward movement is you cooling off.
Pic 1 is a cycle leading up to fapping. It could be over a day, week, month etc. You have a horny thought when you wake up. You go to work and can't help but fantasise over your hot coworker, or a hot girl at the coffee place. You wallow in mental pictures of asses and blowjobs. You get home and can't help but look at porn… and then you fail.
Pic 2 is how to control it. We're men and we will always be horny and fantasise about sex to some degree. But the KEY is not to let it go far, and to cool off. You have to actively manage your lust level and keep yourself level-headed. Let the horny thoughts pass you by, don't wallow in them, don't enjoy them. Just accept them and move on. I'm on day 35 ish and I check out girls, but they occupy my mind for a few seconds maximum, and I don't actively fantasise about them- I mentally move on. I've looked at porn every now and then, but each time I've managed to reign in the horniness, and stopped looking after 5 minutes or so. That's a massive change from when I've relapsed before and binged on porn for hours beforehand.
It's a choice. Do you want to succeed, or do you want to enjoy and feed your lust? The true failure doesn't begin with the physical act of fapping, it begins with letting your lust rule you. There will always be some lust, the temptation will NEVER go away, but you can choose to live above it and actively cultivate self control.
Porn and physical brain changes
Neuroscience Speaks: How Using Porn Destroys Your Brain
Neuroscience now knows that willpower is a function of the prefrontal lobes of the brain. Scientific studies have also confirmed that using porn over and over actually reshapes these areas of the brain, literally eroding our willpower and our moral compass.
Neuroscientists call it hypofrontality. Hypofrontality is a state in which there is decreased blood flow to the prefrontal lobes of the brain. Hypofrontality is observed in schizophrenia patients and is also observed in all manner of addictions.
“Compulsiveness is a good descriptor of hypofrontality. Many porn users feel focused on getting to porn and masturbating even when a big part of them is saying, ‘Don’t do this.’ Even when negative consequences seem imminent, impulse control is too weak to battle the cravings.”
The porn-addicted brain has trouble thinking logically. When impulses and desires come from the midbrain, instead of being moderated, the brain feels these desires as compelling needs. The prefrontal region is supposed to be able to weigh consequences and situations and judiciously shut down cravings, but hypofrontality means the addict’s ability to do this is impaired.
The more one masturbates to porn, the more dopamine is released in the brain. Eventually dopamine receptors and signals in the brain fatigue, leaving the viewer wanting more but unable to reach a level of satisfaction. The viewer becomes numb to things once considered pleasurable. “To escape this desensitization, people, and men especially, expand their pornographic tastes to more novel stimuli,” Black writes. This leads, again, to more fatigue.
To bring the prefrontal lobes back into working order, a two-pronged attack is needed: (1) the old neural pathways must be starved, and (2) new neural pathways must be built and fed, increasing dopamine levels in a way that build up the prefrontal cortex.
They fucking lied
You probably already have heard about weird sayings about masturbation that it will delay your puberty (or will cause you to stay short), meaning less hair, less beard. Other claims like it makes your dick stay short, baldness and even the more ridiculous claims that it can cause short sightedness over time.
Well… I looked up Zinc deficiency and loss of testosterone. It does it all. I have developed short sightedness right at my puberty when I started fapping. Same thing happened to my brother but even worse. I remember all my friends and acquaintances in school had trouble developing facial hair. Fortunately not for me.
I am hoping that now that I stopped fapping my eye condition will not worsen or may improve even. Fortunately
I don't know what caused the ridicule campaign but it pisses me off because these are serious and irreversible health defects that are downplayed.
Does anyone have a similar experience like I mentioned or hopefully improvement after nofap? Any wonders that can help eyesight?
NoFap Day 8: "SUPERPOWERS" ARE VERY REAL
Can report I feel an intense amount of extra energy and a passionate kind of lust that pours into everything else I do. I have the constant motivation of wanting sex to improve myself now.
It's just all the erotic energy that's being stored now making me so much more…. manly. All the masculine motivations are returning to me, and I feel alive again.
Is it really normal for orgasm to zap that much from us? It's kind of amazing.
please comment and would love to know how you guys feel about what I'm saying here
MEMEMAKERS ASSEMBLE
Calling all memesmiths. Time to put your internet time to some good use and help our normie lost brethren with some quality nofap memes, motivational quote pics, infographics, etc.
If you don't know photo editing that's fine, if you're reading something and find some good quotes or nofap related info/studies, then post them here and others can use the info create quote/meme pics.
QTDDTOT: Questions that don’t deserve their own thread
Parkour Edition
Let's bring this board back to life.
Does anyone else have a problem with getting over-active, or physical activity leading to relapse? I used to go to the gym a lot, and I found that for some reason, after I worked out, I always failed hard. There was almost a direct correlation: The longer my workout and the more intense it was the more I thought about nothing but women for hours after I got home.
There's probably some deep biological reason for this, so I can't turn it off, but what can I do to minimize it's effects?
Jelqing and NoFap
I'm simultaneously interested in doing NoFap and jelqing exercises. I know not everyone believes that jelqing works, but I have seen results so far and want to continue until I reach my goal of 6 inch girth, or maybe 5.75 if I have to settle. The problem is, at the intermediate to advanced level of progress, it's best to do jelqs at 80-90% erection level, and to maintain this erection level for 30 minutes or so, my best tool would be porn.
But I don't want to fap! I also sort of don't want to look at porn because I've seen how the stimulus itself fucks up your brain. And honestly, even if the idea of looking at porn seems unpalatable to me at the beginning of a session, I know there's a good chance that after I've been jelqing and visually stimulating myself for half an hour that I'll find something I want to fap to.
Anybody out there share this problem / combination of goals? If I do nofap for a bit, will physical stimulation be enough to sustain a boner for a steady half an hour while I look at completely non-stimulating things on the internet?
What to look for
Help anons, seriously considering trying nofap now, I've guess I never went nofap for than 1 week for the entirety of my post pubescent life.
I'm fucking 31 yo and I've wasted way too much time in my life felling in for porn, and then a lot more time wasted around dozed off in its high.
However I do feel like 1 week in, I get way more aggressive, way high anxiety, and could get completely distracted just in the slight hint of ass.
Keep in mind that I have also been getting /fit/ for the last couple of years, so in general I would think to have a good test recovery rate.
so I've guess what I'm asking is, what can I hope for doing this, and what will be the downsides? What do I need to look for?

So yeah, thats the story of how porn has ruined me. I started watching porn when I was about 13-14 and my usage has only gotten worse over the years, since about a year ago i've just been getting less and less sensitive to the point where i now enjoy porn more than orgasms. sometimes i just watch porn for hours on end without even trying to masturbate since i know it won't make me feel better.
It's been about 12 hours since my last orgasm. I haven't gone longer than two days since before i can remember. I tried to quit before about a month ago, went one whole day before i broke dwn and binged all night. i need to get myself under control and get my shit together.
I don't know if I'm going to keep posting here or if this is going to be it, might just resort to posting whenever i feel like I cant control myself. I think the reason i failed last time I tried to quit was because I didn't have anywhere to vent my feelings. Maybe doing this will help.
Empirical evidence against no-fap
What do you have to say against the scientific studies that prove no-fap doesn't really have any empirical benefits?
Are they fake? Reminds me of those "scientific" studies led by companies like coca-cola to prove sugar wasn't unhealthy, wouldn't be surprise if the porn industry was behind all of this.
Why is fapping a problem?
I fap daily. It feels great. Especially after a long day or if there is no time to fap for a while and I get blueballs going. It seems like it's stigmatized because of some sort of puritan values, and you all are just depriving yourself needlessly.
You don't need to deprive yourself since it really isn't a problem to begin with.
Never Again
I've had enough. Consider this day 0. I'm sick of this disgusting degeneracy and I'm making sure I never fap again.
I'm going to be updating this thread hopefully everyday, not only using this to confirm that I haven't played my fiddle, but using it as a place to vent/ blogpost maybe.
Fapping with gf.
My mind is rotting and my soul isn't mine anymore. I've realize that I need to quit porn and excessive masturbation, which I am doing so today.
I want to quit fapping, but I have a girlfriend who is long distance.
Does anyone think it's unhealthy to masturbate while having phone sex with her?
I want to quit masturbating, but I feel like doing it with her is natural and healthy, since I never feel shameful or uneasy after I do it, unlike fapping alone.
Journal Thing
>be like 10
>watching bleach
>see that scene where some chick is naked, barely covered by fog
>curiously look up naked pics of her on the internet
It was all fucking downhill from there. Hentai has without a single doubt ruined my life. I know I shouldn't blame other people for my problems, but why in the name of fuck did my parents let me have a computer and unrestricted access to the internet at that young age? I've jacked off to the most depraved shit imaginable every single day for ten years, and it has destroyed my brain, my health, my personality, my social life, my intelligence, my free time, my morals, my sexuality, my chances at romantic love, everything.
Drugs can't do pic related to you, but hentai/porn will make you think it's normal. Porn/masturbation is essentially an opiate. It shoots a blast of dopamine straight into your brain, which you quickly become addicted and dependent to. Then you gain a resistance to that dosage, so you crave harder and harder hits (more depraved porn), and normal things in your life that SHOULD give you pleasure feel like nothing. This is just one of the countless problems with fapping, but imo it's the most important one. Anyways, I've been trying to do nofap for a while, the longest I've made it is 7 days. I'm on day 2 right now, which is an improvement from twice a day. Maybe I'll do one of those journal things.
Loser's nofap journal
Well, I'm fucking sick of it, I discovered porn at around age 9, give or take a year, and ever since I've turned into a social recluse. using pornography and masturbation as a stress reliever. Ignoring my problems only caused me more stress, leading me deeper into the hole. I've jacked off to about everything you could think off, but I'm still able to climax to clothed women and just my imagination, oddly enough. Of course the more perverse porn I've seen has burned itself into my mind, unfortunately. I've come to see that it's not just fapping that has a negative influence on my life, it's a lack of healthy routine and too much time on the internet.
I also have a much more shameful confession, I made an account on nofap.com, and I must say, it fucking sucks. I don't know what I expected from a forum but jesus, I can't talk about anything there, just not my kind of people. I'm hoping to find something more by writing my journal here.
Day one
I'm not sure if I should write these at the beginning of the day or the end, perhaps both?
Goals for today:
>Pushups, varied sets and reps to failure
>Study
I used to lift consistently when I was in high school, and for a while after I was out, until I got a hernia while benching. I've decided to start the 5/3/1 power lifting program tomorrow, it will give me something to do, and I always loved lifting.

Dear Diary
Well, I've been on and off nofap for about two years now. Most I've ever gotten was 55 days when I was sort of living innawoods. Whenever I go into a new living situation I try to not develop a fapping ritual, but eventually do and it gets easy to relapse from there. Failed an exam today and decided to be despondent all day and jerked it to some pretty queer shit. Basically, after turning it in I decided I was going to relapse, but pretend that I wasn't. It's always the same routine, but I just go on autopilot once I start going into my room with the computer. And Lord help me if I go to my parents' house where I fapped my teenage years away. At the end of the day I can't run from my problem forever because I can develop a ritual wherever I go.
I'm very glad that there is a place to discuss this that is not… reddit. I don't expect anybody to really care about all that whiny bullshit, unless you have anything interesting to say about getting all of these habits set up. I'm just going to post here and would really appreciate it if somebody would call me a faggot if I relapse.
Journal
Hello fellow Anons this is nothing more than a personal journal for me that you can read too I don't mind and if I did why would I write it
#DAY1
Yesterday at something like 10 p.m I completed my first day. Had no urges or anything like that and not fapping is really kind of refreshing. I still spent my day playing vidyas but atleast didn't fap. It is currently 0630 a.m here
No fap or Less fap?
In a long distance relationship. I'm on day 40 nofap. Looked at porn here and there but didn't MO.
Mostly right now I just feel like I'm depriving myself of the ability to fap with my gf (it's all we have long distance atm) for no real benefit as, at 40 days, I feel no different. I still feel numb about some things, kind of obsessed with sex, desire to fuck everything that moves. I was hoping nofap would make me less focused on sex and feel more in tune in my relationship. It feels like the opposite is happening.
Lent ends tomorrow and I'm trying to decide: do I keep going? What will actually happen if I do? Will I actually feel any different cause I don't right now.
Do any of you just fap on the weekends or every other weekend? Semi-normal but WAY WAY WAY less than daily/multiple times daily?
Convince me out of sex
I'm getting sick and tired of society promoting sex as the "ultimate" experience. It's not. I feel like a complete degenerate and disgusted after sex no matter how attractive the woman is. I feel its a fucking waste of time. Recently, I heard that sex originally wasn't meant to be for pleasure but I can't find any studies on it. The point here is that I want my mind off of sex because the more I think about sex, either I'm thinking of fucking some random girl like a degenerate or watch porn and relapse which I do not want. I want something that snaps me out of my sexual urges and see that sex isn't fucking goal in life here. Pic related sort of helped.
NoFap Making It Worse?
>Fapping daily to mostly vanilla porn, some more deviant
>Start NoFap
>1-3 days pass
>Urges rise for the most extreme shit that I fap to
>Give in
>Fap daily again
>But now the less deviant stuff does it for me again
Maybe weening off it is better? Isn't that what they do with alcoholics?
models and celebrities;a theorem of a problem
Male models and celebrities are porpouted to be very promiscuous, with women (I can't say exclusively) for example. So, here, constant sex would amount to constant masturbation, according to the theory which accords effects of NOFAP to loss of semen, rather than the specific method. So, we have a kind of a paradox! Basically, we have the fact: A man who loses semen daily is found likeable by many women. This can have two possible answers: Such men do not really lose semen daily;are aware of NOFAP but never disclose it because publicity. Attraction is independent of "Pheromones",or sexual activities.
Anyone can solve this??
Just Stop Jerking It Journal
I need some measure of accountability to keep from fucking my shit up again and again.
I've got brain fog, social retardation/awkwardness, a short attention span, procrastinate like crazy, puss out of workouts and push them back constantly due to "lack of motivation/morale", "not feeling it today", and "I woke up too late so now it's too crowded to go even though it's across the street", and a motley of friction burns on my junk from chronic fapping.
This post also took me hours to write because sorting out my thoughts is like pulling teeth, and I kept deleting what I typed. Some of these things might not even be due to fapping, but I won't find out until I have a deep run with all the stops pulled.
My current streak started on 3/2/19 at around 3AM, so this log starts on:
Day 2
Getting back in the gym tomorrow morning after doing fuck all in February. My last recorded poundages on the OHP/BP/SQ/DL were 85/95/145/215, so I'll be seeing if I can repeat them this week, and take each day from there.
Here I go
Ok I'll give it a shot. I relapsed today after 2 days. Ifs time to get serious now. I really need to shake my addiction as I feel like its killing me.
Here we go lads, day zero.
I need help and encouragement, as I really want to achieve a full year and possibly forever without fapping.
Thanks
Day #0
Why are you doing it?
Per the title, why are you lads going through this? And what are you hoping to gain and what have you achieved thus far? I recently had sex after 2 weeks of nofap and noporn, I'll see glimpses of the occasional porn browsing sites but i won't click on the image and will scroll past.
In that two weeks i noticed the following;
>Noticed i started getting morning wood more often
>Cock both felt and looked much harder
>Had urges to talk to women at work and chat them up but still didn't have much courage but i did talk more often with female staff
>Found sub-par women extremely attractive, and wanted to fuck almost every female i saw
>Kept checking out girls, imagining myself fucking them, and checked them out and looked them up and down even if i was caught by her, or her friend i wouldn't care and would resume
>Slightly more confidence
>Felt stronger in the gym and was more consistent / zoned in and always got right down to business
>Strength was more consistent
The biggest downside to this experiment, is when i had sex. I basically cummed in about 4 pumps.
Feminism in nofap
Why the fuck the major nofap hubs (reddit) have feminist overtones? You don't have to respect girls to do nofap. You don't have to cry about exploitation of women and sex trafficking to go nofap. You are not doing nofap to stop these things, you are doing it to improve yourself. Why are you pretending that these issues are important to you in porn industry and should have primary focus instead of the damage to your body. Every discussion of evils of porn industry boils down to muh women, instead of bad effect on body. As if, if there were a porn industry without exploitation of women, there won't be any problem. No, retard. You would still be fapping to them and destroying your body.
Think how stupid this sounds:
>The problem with tobacco industry is not the harmful smoke, but the exploitation of cheap workers in third world tobacco plants
Stop using muh women as an argument against porn industry. Jeez.
Leaf's Nofap Journal
I posted a bit in Deadman's thread, but I've fallen off the wagon repeatedly recently, so it'd probably be better for me to have my own thread. Don't feel like name/tripfagging, but I was the Canadian guy talking about playing fighting games and driving around to tournaments, if anyone cares to connect the dots for additional context.
Anyway, now that I'm finished with school for the next couple weeks, I have been struggling to complete even basic tasks, let alone preparing for another semester/year of school. I think there are a few factors for this, and I want to use this thread to help me track my motivations, thoughts, and potential solutions to unhealthy habits.
>relapsing
Partially due to the holiday season surrounding me with temptations (chocolates, carb-rich food, etc.), I have had much less motivation to stay clean. I have made some efforts in the past to deny myself sugar and unhealthy food, and I remember it being very healthy and positive for my life. Thus, when presented with the smorgasbord of holiday foods, my first impulse is to say "well, no-one could withstand this" and gorge myself.
Obviously this is not a good mentality to have, and it has weakened my resolve to stop looking at pornography and masturbating. I relapsed for several days in a row leading up to Christmas, and even though I didn't ejaculate yesterday, I wasted the entire day looking at porn.
About two months ago, I had an early morning dream which shed some light on my approach to this and left my head feeling heavy, but that's long enough to deserve its own post (if anyone wants to read it). For now, I think the best plan of action I can implement is to stop exposing myself to these chocolates. If I do see them, I will need to say, forcefully, "I don't need this" and walk away.
>work habits
I think my poor work habits are a reflection of my feelings of social isolation. As I expressed in Deadman's thread, I feel as though the only people around me are either bugmen, NPCs, or nonwhite subhumans. I feel very lethargic, as though every day I try to find a reason why I should bother to succeed, but cannot.
<MTG club is filled with trannies and soy males
<video game club is filled with trannies and tranny dicksucking KGB
<parents worship minorities and think whiteness is a social construct and large families are unnatural
The silver lining is that I have a few friends with whom I play MTG casually, and they're quite open-minded about discussing religion, politics, etc.
>the solution
I'm aware a lot of this sounds like whiny blogposting, but I find it easier to vent here than in a personal journal (in a weird way, this place's obscurity makes me feel more safe talking about my problems than recording them in a book someone could potentially read by mistake). Thanks if you read all this.
Really, what I need to do is pretty simple:
>stop looking at porn, especially the degenerate stuff
>start working on the computer programming stuff so I can get my diploma in a year and then actually try to find a job I'll like
>go to the regularly and eat healthy foods instead of the sugary holiday shit I've been stuffing my face with
Today is day 1.
I can do this. I am sick of being tired and depressed and enslaved by people who don't care about me.
Chastity General: A.K.A The mental ward
Anyone had any luck with chastity devices? I've been wearing something like pic related for the better part of a year, and it's helped me out immensely.
Also, chastity general I guess. ^^
Edit: A good idea chastity nigger. From now on you, and everybody else who feels the compulsion to share their fetish for dick cages, can save it for this thread. Every post about “chastity” devices outside of this thread will net you a ban.
You have spammed this board long enough, save every dishonest discussion tactic and dick cage comment for your private sperg corner. ^^
Deadman's Nofap Journal
If you read this and think about fapping then you better don't fap, maggot
I just relapsed and I feel absolutely disgusted, depressed and disappointed. I did not even liked that. That was a waste of my time, energy and resources, and there is nothing I can do about my failure but to use it to push myself forward.
I will be revisiting and updating my journal daily to encourage myself and to expose myself to some guilt and social pressure inb4 what social pressure there could be on an anonymous imageboard?
I am doing a complete no porn, no fap run where I will ward off any shitty fantasies with my aggression and rage.
Also I'll try to post light anti-fap material here whenever I can, so this thread will be objectively useful.
Day 0
Attempt #23534567
THIS TIME YOU'RE NOT GETTING ME, DEMONS!
DAY 2 or 3.
This lust is more or less trance, hypnosis, illusion, a program. It's not "me". I know my brain will attempt to get me off tracks again, maybe tomorrow, maybe in ten days or so. But I will remember that it's just a mechanical happening - it's something that can be overcome. Fuck the system, I will reprogram myself.
Masters Thread #001
The One Rule: You may post in this thread only if your current nofap streak (whichever mode you are attempting) has more days than there are posts in this thread. I.e. the first non-OP poster may have just relapsed, but the poster after him must have a current nofap streak of at least one day, and so on.
Additionally, revealing ITT the specific day of nofap one is on is to be considered a faux pas.
Help...
I genuinely struggle going over one day and I've been trying to quit for over two years but I've just gotten worse. If I do manage to last I binge the day after.
I've tried everything from staying outside all day , blocking apps on my phone, going to the toilet every hour (cause needing a piss is a trigger for some reason) etc. but all of these eventually stop working after multiple days and I just end up going back into old habits multiple times a day.
What's difficult is that it doesn't have to be/rarely is to porn. This is why staying offline doesn't work.
I literally have no idea how I got this bad. Reddit has been useless at advice as always so I thought I would try here.
Guy Fieri gives me strangth
Posted in the sticky, decided to fallow anons advice and do a daily journal thread post.
Day 12, best one so far next to no temptation or lust at all.
TL;DR fapped a minimum of thrice a day for 10 years sans about two and a half total months spend not busting three nuts a day.
Doing nofap November to support a friend doing the same.
So far no super powers, though I did have a wonderful evening with some japanese german folk and may have have gotten some bodyparts modified or renovated.
DON'T GIVE IN, it just gets harder
I've got to get this off my chest, I went over half of November no PMO at all and I felt fantastic physically and mentally. Then I fapped, and felt fine. I told my self it was ok since it wasn't to porn or even erotic thoughts. Since then I've fapped once a week, three of those were to porn ,again I told myself it was okay because it wasn't hardcore. Last week I fapped twice.
It took until today to realize I've been slowly going back to how I was, depression has crept back up and I haven't worked out in two weeks.
IT''S NOT WORTH IT
HERE'S TO NOFAP 2019
Broke year streak
2017 was fapless for me and I was feeling good. Well, I still spent most of my time on the computer watching anime like a weebfagoot, but energy I had was incomparable to what I feel now after fap. A bit confident, wanting to change life and stop seeing my future life as a NEET (I'm in high school). But shit hit the fan and this is nearly 7 months after broken 1 year+ streak. Last time I posted here I was successful, so let's try one more time. Today I fapped 3 times, last to imagination of real people which allows me to start clean. Other than that, through all of this time I was trying with more or less success (longest was 2 weeks). I need your help more than anything now.
The secret to no fap
the reason you have to fap to porn and worship retarded bitches is because of what Carl Jung called the anima. Social mores force you to create an unrealistic egoimage of yourself. Men are supposed to be masculine and hold in your emotions, Women are supposed to be feminine and express their emotions etc etc. In reality every person has masculine and feminine elements in their personality. You are literally trying to be a fake image created by the media and society instead of just being yourself. This creates a totally unstable psychological state which causes you complete anguish and the media says, oh here is what you are missing Goy, you just need the image of this woman who supposedly has what you need and they go out of their way to fetishize women with the hair and makeup and clothes etc. They are selling back to you what you already have in the first place. Then once you finally get a woman, you will be happy for a while until you realize, this isn't your soul mate or the woman of your dreams what happened? guess she just wasn't the right woman for you, get a divorce, put your children and turmoil and find your soul mate. It will work this time for sure goy, we guarantee it.
So in short, none of you will ever be able to do no fap until you figure out who you really are, not the fake ego-image you are told to be, until you do that you will continue to desire women, women will continue to be disgusted by your weakness and you will from time to time take the easy way out and fap to porn. there is no amount o willpower that can make you stop.
A good clue where to start is the book of genesis. "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."
this does not mean that God created one being male and one being female. it means he created adam both male and female.
Some Skinnyfag's Journal/Pledge
Hey faggots. This is kind of a hybrid of a journal thread and a motivational thread.
I used to frequent a fandom forum where I was carefree and outgoing. I was hilarious - I was witty. Enough people liked me that there was even a circlejerk thread that lasted about half a year where people were quoting hilarious shit I said. IRL, I struggled with depression, but still had a bit of that energy enough to get people to flock around me. My then-GF at the time talked me out of a suicide attempt by reminding me that I was somebody who wasn't afraid to stand up for what he believed in and, by any measure of the word, a success in life. For a while afterwards, I took that to heart, and I reached a golden age in my life for my own well-being. After we broke up, about a year ago, I found myself turning to fapping to cope with the emotional stress.
I really hate to sound melodramatic, but after a couple weeks of self-retrospect, I think that's started to ruin my life.
The compulsion to go out and masturbate has completely ruined my sleep schedule. I'm no longer as humorous or witty as I was. I'm not as outgoing. I've found myself skipping classes at a dojo I'm attending due to falling asleep. I've become absolutely complacent at work and know that if I volunteer for more, I'll burn out. A side art project of mine has been completely postponed because I'm losing 2 hours a day, and I'm not exercising as much anymore.
Over the course of days, I can almost feel my body start to lose mass because of the muscles breaking down due to a lack of real exercise.
If this keeps up, I know that my life is going to continue spiraling downwards, and I'm going to waste my glory years a fat fuck whose only real skill is finding some niche fetish porn. Nope. Not happening. I went through one last round with pretty much every kink that turns me on for a farewell cheer, now my drive is cleared and lotion completely used up.
Here's what I'm going to do about it: Every time I want to fap, I'm going to do some exercise. Which kind, I don't know. Leg day, Cardio, Pushups… variety is good. Only problem is that I really need the motivation for it, but thankfully I found a solution: power metal.
Only problem is that my typical workout playlist I also listen to at work (I work in an office and have a raging fetish for women in pantyhose - the need for any distraction is real!).
That's why I'm asking you guys for a bit of help:
For every good workout song that I get in this thread, I'm going to pledge 4 days without fapping. Hell, offer a type of workout to due, I don't care, but I don't really have much equipment and I don't have time between all of my commutes to travel to a gym. I do have a pullup bar, medicine ball, crude punching bag, and weights though.
>Why go off of pledges? Why not just do?
There's no obligation. Obligation is more powerful of a motivator than self-reliance.
>How many songs do you want?
Spam the thread. I don't care. Post 100 and I'll thank you for the new variety.
Along the way I'll try to post updates and, since I want to start lifting, progress for one-armed dumbell presses when I can. That will start later on, though, since it's getting pretty late now.

NOFAP 2018 HERE WE GOOOOOOO!!!
As is usual for these messages, I will begin with some history.
This board began as an initiative by it's previous BO and founder Plague_Doctor, from nofap threads on /pol/ in 2015. In these threads people vowed to make 2015 their nofap year and that's how the board was born. In this time we, and a lot of newcomers, have been on a wild ride. The board became a top 50 board with the influx of mainly /christian/ and /pol/ users, and we became a dead board once again when the hype died down after about 6 months into nofap 2017.
In this time there has been some tremendous progress. The journal threads might mostly be dead now, but there have been multiple people who reached a nofap streak of more than 100 day's, I even saw one guy with a maximum nofap of 176 day's!
But don't think you who has only managed streaks of less than 10 day's to a maximum of 20 are not on the right path as well. Every day, even every time, you don't fap is a step into the right direction. As my predecessor said every year, Even if you fap every other day, that still makes it so you only fapped 182 day's in a year instead of 365. Not that impressive, but a way out has become visible. It is always good to remember that you can make it if you try.
But that's history and pep talk, it's a new year today.
Another clean chance to reach the goal of nofap 2018. You might have failed nofap 2017, you might have come on board too late too even try it, but this day everyone of us has gotten a new chance.
I welcome all of you to try this challenge with me, to complete nofap 2018 and to improve our lives.
Remember:
>It only gets easier the longer you do it.
>Half of the essence of nofap is not to DO something, but precisely to do NOTHING.
>The rules of the game are no PMO, no porn, masturbation and orgasm. Each one of these leads into the other and feed the entire cycle.
>The other half of nofap is the will for self improvement. Try to use the positives from nofap to change up your day routine and cultivate your potential. Not only will nofap become easier, your live will improve. So go do push up's, go for a walk, go read those books you have had for years now, go finish what you started with nofap.
DON'T FAP YA CUNTS.
Good luck with 2018 mates.
Let's see if I can keep this rolling
I have been on hardmode for a what I think is nearly a week, but I'll just start my count from today.
Day one, Sunday, November 20, 2018. I've had a few urges; They seem come early in the morning imedently after I wake up, then periodically every 4 or 5 hours. Of course each time I have one it is easier to deal with then the one that had proceeded it.
Right now my goal it to make it to Thanksgiving.
Phoenix's Nofap Journal
Hey /nofap/, I decided today to finally start improving myself. I started lurking here a few weeks ago and got inspired by Deadman's journal and wanted to start my own here to hold myself accountable to this. More than anything right now, I want to become a better, stronger person and I want to start by controlling what I see as one of my moral shortcomings. Here I go, lads. Wish me luck.
Day 0
Give me a reason
If I'm ever going to quit I need to be convinced that I'm not missing out on anything. I'm a special kind of autist, in the sense that I fully bought the black pill and lookism theory. Seeing that I have inferior genetics and that was the reason for most of my suffering, I decided not to try to find a woman and have kids, and be responsible for the highly probable suffering of my children or my children's children. I believe this to be a smart choice, but I feel empty inside nonetheless. I feel like I should return to the porn I've been consuming since fourth grade. But at the same time with the blackpill, I learned about the supposed effects that pornography has on the brain, and the benefits of semen retention. Now you see, I ain't got much to live for, I just live to help my family and that's about it. When they'll be gone I'll probably waste all my money traveling around the world and then I'll kill myself. So I don't really care about most of the effects of porn on the brain and dopamine reward system. I love porn, it's the best, I looked in many places for hobbies or passions, but nothing came close. I don't really want to get back to porn either. I don't know why, but I fear I'll screw up my life in ways I can't fix. But I still watch it from time to time, because I run out of reasons not to. I always rationalize it saying I don't care what happens, pleasure is great. But I see how in the end I return to the same old dull reality. But I still watch porn even then. I don't care about anything at this point. Even now I want to watch it. I watched it twice in the last 24 hours after a 41 day nofap streak. Still, I feel like I made no progress. I still see porn as the best thing ever, that reality won't let me have it
I think I cracked the code... for me
This might be long but I think it might hold some useful pointers to all of you out there struggling with this.
I have visited this place before, I have experienced relapses, guilt, shame, being disgusted with myself to no end. I have an addiction to to sick fetishes, hypno shit, abdl shit, even sissy shit that lead to trap fucked up tastes. Some of the damage I've done haunts me to the core to this very day, specific words, sounds or visuals I have linked to my weird tastes trigger very awkward and uncomfortable responses everytime I encounter them even when not looking for them. For example, last week at work, someone at work started sharing a cat video doing shit with techno music in the background, I recognized it from a sissy hypno video so I started to feel bad, my stomach started turning, I started sweating and I felt the urges attacking me from the shadows… This is why you need to acknowledge this as a REAL problem, a real addiction, and as such you can not let it take hold of your life and control you in any way.
I have literally cucked myself into being a retarded manchild, surrounded by toys and now that I think about it I "stopped" playing with action figures when I was 14, the same time most of my school buddies were already kissing and touching their first boobs. But when I got my first job I started collecting action figures eventhough I didn't play with them, just having them around made me feel good, like smalls shots of happiness delivered by post. Before I realized I was surrounded by dozens of them (Virgin Town population 1), even more but it didn't feel bad, who would critizise me? only my mother could, but has never pressured me into doing anything with my life because realized that being independant I can cut ties with her and never speak to her again if she makes me mad enough (yes, being such a looser I also have anger issues), and she can not relent her control over her "little baby" (this shit is probably what caused my abdl fetish deep down). She has to give me money, food and pay for my shit or she just feels her life is devoid of meaning, she should be enjoying her grandchildren by now but I am yet to experience what it feels to hear "I love you" , be hugged or even hold hands… I don't know if I'll ever manage to heal my mind to a "normal" state but honestly I want to start trying, REALLY trying. This is not her fault though, many people grow up with a single mom and don't end up fucked up like me.
Having been raised by a single mom she did what she could but could not provide for actual love since the whole reason she got pregnant was to get away from her mother
which was a religious fanatic, the moment she got what she wanted she divorced the looser of a father she chosed to use a sperm donor. So growing up she tried to make up for the lack of love/father figure by giving me every toy I could ever want and giving all the material shit I ever wished and more even. While growing up she approached me a couple of times with the question "Anon are you gay?" I guess because she would see all other kids into girls and me just wanting to perpetuate my childhood of playing and not worrying about getting involved with the opposite sex. My sexual drive would eventually awake but it would become distorted by my youngest memories revolving around trying to get old diapers out of a closet to put them on again. When I discovered masturbation that was it, I just put those two things together, masturbation and diapers, which in very short lead me to ABDL shit.
That was the beginning of the slippery slope for me, around 20 years wasted of my life dedicated to that and worse…

Personal nofap noporn blog: extra natsoc sauce edition
Hello everyone. I come from /pol/ and other dark places to start my dejewisation journey. I hope this will help me cure my social anxiety. We start at day 0 so here goes nothing
DAY 0
I fapped today and watched some degenerate pornography therefore it counts as day 0. So far i feel normal. We will see at later days.
Wish me luck. The sole reason i bother to write this is to keep track on my progress and not relapse
Sociability, Confidence, Self Realization, Healing and Energy
So, 2 years ago when I did nofap, I realized that I really didn't stutter as much and was able to communicate with much more confidence and bravado. It also helped me lose a lot of weight (which I've unfortunately gained back because I quit nofap AND ketosis, 75lbs) my testosterone skyrocketed due to all the meat, onions, seafood and other enhancing meals I've eaten, and my energy levels were through the roof.
I notice that when I DO masturbate, I tend to feel more awkward and anxious the majority of the time, even during the next day. I seldom feel normal again after masturbation, I may have a chemical imbalance.
Though, take note, I have ADHD so that makes some sense to me about re-wiring my brain; speaking of ADHD, nofap is harder for me compared to others, but I've managed to do it at least, since when I masturbate, I tend to try to "Drain" myself, meaning that fapping once doesn't help at all, and I NEED to masturbate until I can't get erect. I've done this since I was 9, which I feel might have hindered my development and might have contributed to my ADHD, I did used to eat a lot of junk as well and no foods with healthy androgen and testosterone inhibitors, I grew up with a single mother and let me tell you, she was NOT a nutritionist in the slightest. I became emasculated, very hairy, strangely enough.
It truly, honestly did take a huge fucking toll on my self confidence, to the point that when I try to do something productive, I hate myself, get anxious, cringe, wince, and quit like a beta– this could be anything from martial arts, drawing, cooking, programming, basically anything extracurricular, my brain goes haywire and I INSTANTLY go into a state of depersonalization and lose track of everything, it all becomes a huge fucking blur and I go into a blank. It's really done a number on me in learning useful skills and networking, and knocked me down the socioeconomic ladder.
I found a partner that I'll be meeting soon, so sexual intercourse might help mitigate any type of "Guilt" (Read: Frustration and chemical imbalances) in terms of how my body takes climaxing.
Using a fleshlight slowly and in a good satisfying, thorough pattern, thrusting my hips even, instead of rapid and furiously, trying to climax the fastest way possible, helps me. There are times depending on how I stroke, that ejaculating doesn't give me the anxiety that masturbation by hand usually does, it seems my entire glands is stimulated, instead of a single part, and ejecting the cum out during climax doesn't feel strained, but rather more natural, and my prostate doesn't feel sore, and I've gotten better at it, might be due to how the fleshlight is built and the properties emulating a vagina, so it might be good for rewiring my brain on stabilizing what masturbation should be, but regardless, I want to only use that for edging so I can use my pump/bathmate, then I can have harder, stronger erections during sex, instead of using my hand.
Anyways, hoping I can entertain myself with hobbies and activities when I take my medication, doing ketosis back then, which are the 2 years ago I mentioned, has been the only method that's made me lose weight, and made me feel great with a dash of confidence to boot.
I'm trying to get back on all of that, and really get a hold of myself, controlling my life and knowing what I put in my body and how I regulate it, and how to follow an organized schedule, since I'm a fucking mess.
Unfortunately, my ADHD gives me low blood pressure as well, so I'm actually FORCED to do this now, along with supplements for the extra energy my body can't produce to keep me going throughout the day. Carbs fuck me up, no matter what I do, I get shaky and anxiety hits REALLY bad, to the point that exercising is damn near impossible because I get so catatonic and out of breath extremely quick due to said anxiety, so low carb is the only way for me.

Dumb Questions General
I though this thread may as well condense all the questions that aren't worth their own thread if that does not exist already. Regardless what do about this, I started nofap about a week or so ago and I had a wet dream after going through an art gallery with art like attached in it. Its just tame stuff so that makes me wonder what else do you guys think I should avoid aside from just PMO because I wouldn't classify that as porn.
Exposure vs Avoidance
The secret to NoFap is not avoidance but exposure. Exposure to the point of invulnerability and indifference. That is self-mastery.
Exposure is simply seeing the form for what it is without reacting to it [unless you want to].
Spend time seeing the female subject for what it is, and become aware of your body's responses without engaging them.
no fap 2018
i just fapped and found my dick bleeding, so thats my last straw. no more.
Never have i been so terrified as to fap for the sake of better sleep only to look down and see blood mixed in with my fucking seed. done.
I gotta get my shit together, How can i limit myself access to porn as much as possible? like making all my browsers safe and all that just leads to me turning it off and wanking, but if i keep this up im gonna get some kind of disease
My challenge
So…I fapped and watched porn again today earlier.
It was a mistake. But I'm repeating this mistake over and over. I'm tired of myself being too weak to just not fap.
So I was thinking about solution that may work for me(and maybe for some of you too). Here it is:
1. I will post here everyday my photo in a mask with some little text
2. If I would fap or watch porn I will have to put here my face, but unmasked. My face will forever stay on the internet then(that is something I don't want)
3. I will be honest and won't cheat you or myself(be please honest too if you want to join my challenge, otherwise it is meaningles)
So…anyone fancy joining?
feeling worse after 3 months of no fap
I havent masturbated or watched porn since february, i was expecting to feel some kind of change or improvement in my life, but all i can feel is even worse becuse now i cant maturbate and watch porn to cope with my boring life
Does it get better i should i just say fuck it and masturbate again? Honestly it isnt that hard for me to stop masturbating, i just miss masturbating, i was willing to give it up for the greater good but i havent seen that greater good
Group Diary Thread: Chocolate Hearts Edition
Post your progress, updates, blogposts, and just (not-counter)circlejerk with other anons.
Since the other thread isn't bumping, might as well make a new thread so you all can shame me for breaking.
>Be OP
>Take nofap to get a healthy sex drive again
>Who knows how many weeks in
>GF keeps rescheduling dates because workaholic (I have reasons to swing by where she works so she needs to really try to think of an excuse if she starts cheating)
>Constantly see personal kink (pantyhose) everywhere
>3:00am no sleep because stress
>"Fuck it, might as well litmus test for how well nofap is going!"
>Look up decent vids for kink, intending to see if my willpower reached the point where I can last for one hour without fapping
>Figure accomplishment will help me sleep
>Last for 45 minutes before going for lotion
>Mfw don't even produce that much cum or joy after failing my streak
Allen Card's explanation of Nofap
https://sites.google.com/site/hackbookeasypeasy/
Its a bit preachy but It doesn't matter. Just read the whole thing, it gets better.
A tl;dr would be:
1.You were fooled into believing that fapping makes you happy when really it just stops the withdrawal symptoms that you get form not fapping
2.You are fooling yourself into thinking that giving up masturbation is a sort of sacrifice(as consequence of the above)
3.First step is updating is your mindset on that
4. There's much more and honestly, heck if I can really truncheon those parts down into single line arguments. Go read the book.
nofap journal
Can't stop fucking fapping. I feel drained. My head feels foggy. I feel like I can't even fucking string sentences together. Fuck my head hurts. I'm going to be horny again in an hour from now. Fuck. I can't keep doing this. I think I might actually die. I've tried everything.
>Avoiding nsfw boards
>Avoiding chans completely
>Installing blockers
>Trying to distract myself
>Taking cold showers
>Tracking my progress
>Avoiding the internet
>Trying to only fap at designated times/wean myself off
>Working out
>Eating healthy
>Trying to hang out with people
>Looking at something gross
>Trying to think of gross things
It literally takes my thoughts over. It becomes all I think about. Everything I look at or think of gets twisted into something sexual and makes me want to fap. I don't even want to fap anymore but it's all I can do to make the thoughts go away for just a little while. Fuck it I can't do this anymore. I rather not exist than go on like this. There's only one thing left that I can try before this literally kills me. I'm going to use this thread as a journal so that I can share my progress. Maybe the social pressure will help. It's the only thing I can think of at this point besides shriveling up and dying from this addiction. My head hurts, my whole body hurts, I can't think straight. I feel sick. If this doesn't work, then hopefully it will actually kill me. It would be a better fate than suffering from this for a few more years. Anyway, I'll be back in about an hour when the urges start again to post some random journal shit. Feel free to call me a faggot or something
Excessive fapping and beard growth
Could shitty beard and delayed puberty be related to fapping?
I'm 23 and can't grow a beard for shit. It grows good but only on my neck, so if I let it grow I look disgusting. It's not genetic, I have photos of my dad at 19 with full moustache and my grandpa had 5 o'clock shade at 2 o'clock.
Ejaculation lowers your testosterone, studies say it goes back to normal after a week but who the fuck went a week without fapping in our primes? I've been fapping since I was 14, realised that it was a problem at 21 and only now at 23 I fap maybe once a week and only recently I managed a 2 month streak. That's 7 years of fapping at least once a day. Seven years add up to over 2500 ejaculations.
Testosterone is what causes development of secondary sex characteristics so it seems normal that when it's lacking, they won't develop properly. The best example for this are eunuchs - men who have been castrated. Historically it was done so they would retain their boyish vocal range and worked as singers:
>As the castrato's body grew, his lack of testosterone meant that his epiphyses (bone-joints) did not harden in the normal manner. Thus the limbs of the castrati often grew unusually long, as did the bones of their ribs. This, combined with intensive training, gave them unrivalled lung-power and breath capacity.[1] Operating through small, child-sized vocal cords, their voices were also extraordinarily flexible, and quite different from the equivalent adult female voice. Their vocal range was higher than that of the uncastrated adult male. Listening to the only surviving recordings of a castrato (see below), one can hear that the lower part of the voice sounds like a "super-high" tenor, with a more falsetto-like upper register above that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castrato
That's why I like to call fapping "self castration". Thoughts on this?
The start of my journey
O, Glorious NoFappers!
I stand before you as a sinner, a slave to the Digital Seductress who has been a vice upon me for the last 3 years.
I discovered masturbation at the age of 15 and it became a crutch to deal with suicidal thoughts and a crisis of faith, and this crutch soon developed into an addiction which has left me with a 321gb porn folder.
Three weeks ago, I entered into a relationship with a wonderful girl who has helped me through a very dark period of my life and has helped me to see that I am good enough to be happy.
Since the start of this relationship, I have found it difficult to masturbate to porn and i have taken this as a sign from the Lord God to whom i pray for guidance every night that i must stop this practice in order to have a healthy physical and emotional relationship with my girlfriend.
I do not yet feel ready to delete my porn folder, but i promised my girlfriend that i would not ever let her be second best to anyone in my eyes and so i will eventually delete the folder and its archives.
my first goal is to no longer require pornigraphy to masturbate and eventually eliminate the need for it altogether if possible.
My last fap was at 3am GMT 14/04/17.
this is the start of my nofap journey and i ask for your support as i begin this trial.
I will spend my energy in better ways, exercise and study and i will not let it fester inot stress which could come out against my girlfriend. I refuse to be rendered impotent by pornography.
I stand before you a sinner and i ask for acceptance into your number
Girl needs help
I'm a lady struggling to stop masturbating and I feel terribly guilty about it. I average 1-3 times a day, usually looking at lesbian porn (IRL i don't like fooling around with other girls really) or reading erotic stories. Very rarely making it more than a day or two without getting off. When I don't, falling asleep becomes quite difficult and that's when I tend to cave in if I haven't already orgasmed earlier.
I tend to get unmotivated and lonely afterwards while feeling like a total loser. If I had a boyfriend or husband right now, i'd seriously let him lock me in a chastity belt for long as he thought I needed to be in one. I've even been considering locking myself up and giving the key to a friend until i'm in a relationship.
For now, how can I get my mind off of self-pleasure? What can I do to help me fall asleep at night without giving in? Do guys like women who abstain from masturbating more than those who do? I don't know what to do to stop.
what is your stance on sex?
I feel like we need to be honest about our feelings about sex, so that way we can avoid getting new users that were misinformed about who we are.
my stance on it is that there's no benefit to it and if anything it's negative. It's not necessarily a bad thing but not good either. The only real reason to do it is to create a baby.
NoFap vs NoPorn
Is porn or masturbation the real threat?
Because it seems to me that porn in any measure is damaging to the male brain, but masturbation is fine in moderation. Porn kills a man's drive to seek and explore, but occasional masturbation (once a week or so) is no big deal.
That said, nofap seems to be extremely helpful for men breaking masturbation or porn addictions, and is extremely valuable in that regard.
Fighting the good fight
Week 4 of no-fap. I don't understand this. First few weeks was easy enough, now on week 4 and my degeneate fetishes have increased tremendously. I did this to stop being a faggot, first off. I used to lurk /cuteboys/ and other things, and besides homosexuality I had lots of developed fetishes ranging from Babyfur to hamplanets, pupplay/ponyplay to hypnosis. Hell, pretty much a little bit of everything. I had made significant progress before the no-fap, reducing my urges to occasional glances at stories or porn. Now, all my lust has come back and it is stronger than before the no-fap. I keep going to the places I love and it's more than lust, ya now. It's the wanting for community. I read the stories on /cuteboys/ about how they're having fun as young as 16 and feel like I've both missed out and am missing out. I go to twitter and look at the pupplay community laughing and meming within themsleves. I look at the fun these "gainers" are having.
Am I a lost cause? I feel like shit and I thought no-fap would help curb this shit. Instead it's making it worse. It used to be that after I fapped I'd know I'd never want to engage RL because the post-orgasm shame would be enough. Now there's no orgasm, it's just me looking at shit and fantasizing about it.
Nofap September: 2nd Edition
You guys wanna do it again?
>>623 is the previous one last year. Last year I failed, so I wanna try it again.
Very interesting redpill
There's a thread over on /pol/ talking about removing parasites from your body by taking diatomaceous earth. This could be the next step on from nofap to becoming a true ubermensch.
I would read the whole thread first before you decide whether you believe it or not.

Addicted to porn
Hi everyone. I've been on/off nofap/noporn for almost half a year now. It's amazing how much of a better head space I'm in now that I've stopped fapping and viewing porn every single day. I want to quit for good, but it's obviously very difficult being a horny hikki. I have it bad. My parents put a computer with unrestricted internet access in my room when I was 8 years old, and I've been hooked on porn ever since. While I can think clearer most days, there are rough patches where I can't think of anything but pornography and will even dream of watching it after a certain amount of time has passed without it. This past week I've sort of convinced myself that viewing it wont lead to any major consequences as long as I don't fap, seeing as how I've been clean for the vast majority of the year. However, after this last depressing valentines day relapse, I realized I'm still just as addicted to porn as I've always been. Even thinking about it gets my heart racing and viewing it makes me feel euphoric, like a tangible drug would. It's enough for me to make any excuse to view it. I just came without even touching myself; just watching some video that wasn't even that good, and I feel awful about it. The way it can physically effect my body like this terrifies me and makes me never wanna watch it again. However, as I'm typing this I'm getting hard again just thinking about said video. Porn is so evil and no matter how hard I try to break free from it I feel like it will always pull me back in. It's by far the hardest addiction I've ever had to kick, and I've done some shit in my life.
Anyways I don't know why I felt compelled to post this. Guilt I guess. I plan on relapsing one more time tonight just because I want it so badly. After this binge though I'm gonna try for another long streak. Might post on this once a day just to ramble and get my thoughts out of my head and onto some virtual paper. Hopefully it will motivate me to stick with it this time knowing that there will be others to report back to daily.
Thanks to all the awesome people here. Stay strong my dudes.
But Why Even Bother?
So, I'm doing pretty well, but the "ButWhyThough" is coming back. After about 4-5 days, I just get a buzzing in my head and start to think: How does this help me?
I don't turn into the Bradley Cooper from Limitless when I abstain from jacking off, or feel more energized. In fact it's the exact opposite: I actually feel noticeably duller, and less motivated. I just stare at the wall. This may sound weird, but I actually feel cucked: I'm not having sex, and now can't jack off either.
The problem is I can't see a cause and effect: Workout, and I get a better Body. Study, and I get smarter. NoPMO, and I get what?
NO FAP General Purpose Log
Hello /nofap/!
After a few minutes of browsing this board I have found a desire to go on a streak. Background:
Best streaks:
82
54
31
28
And a few stray weeks here and there.
I've almost completely removed porn from my life, the only time I see it is the result of browsing chans. Since cutting porn consumption slowly down to zero I can say that it coincides with a more successful life, but it is just one tool among many.
All of my streaks except the 84 one have ended in drug level withdrawal effects, where I am almost incapable of being productive. I'm mentally unhinged and anxious, my mind is assaulted by the irrational want to fap, and eventually I cave only to realize how retarded I was being after cumming.
Since my last streak ended in that fashion I've been averaging maybe 7 to 11 faps a week (all no porn). I will take a different approach this time, a long game style. Instead of cold turkey I will build up over time.
e.g.
>day 1 FAP
>day 2 NF
>day 3 FAP
>day 4 NF
>day 5 NF
>day 6 FAP
>day 7 NF
>day 8 NF
>day 9 NF
>day 10 FAP
>day 11 NF
>day 12 NF
>day 13 NF
>day 14 NF
>day 15 FAP
>etc.
This is something I've never tried before and I believe it will help wean my body, mind, & spirit off the fapping vice. I'm hardly revolutionary with this thought as I've seen in mentioned before many times.
I'm not doing this for the commonly supposed gains as I've never experienced those (better social interaction, deeper voice, more alpha, stronger in the gym).
What I am interested in is the discipline and self control aspect. As well as the ability to be an elitist on /fringe/ and laugh at mundanes stuck in the fap loop jk

Two years ago today, /nofap/ was founded on the grounds that 2015 should be a nofap year. 2015 came and went, and now so has 2016.
Once again, we've all made great strides. Maybe you didn't make it the whole year. In fact, you probably didn't. If you did, you are the official king of /nofap/. If not, no sweat. Consider this: In a normal year you might have fapped once or more every day. That's at least 365 faps. Maybe in the past year you only fapped once every other day, or on and off every couple days, or something like that. That's not some big huge impressive streak, but that does cut 365 down to 182, which is pretty fucken good. When you think back on the past /nofap/ year, judge it in those terms.
That said, it's a new year, which means we all have the opportunity here to make it a completely clean /nofap/ year with a big huge impressive streak, which may not be necessary to mark improvement, but would still be fucking awesome to get. Get started now, because starting isn't gonna get easier the longer you wait. All you have to do is nothing, and believe that you're gonna make it. And remember that nofap isn't the only thing you can do to make your life better. Eat right, lift, read books, don't spend every second of your life shitposting. 2017 will be a great year.
2016 was a pretty great year for the board in general. We got bigger than ever before. Big enough to finally attract raids at least. Oh, and we also weren't the subject of a lawsuit. That's always nice. Hopefully 2017 brings even more growth to this place.
Don't fap ya cunts.

The myth of the reboot
I would like to discuss one of the biggest flaws in nofap's theory: the reboot. The reboot has been touted as the desired outcome of nofap, and it simply means becoming "normal".
However, achieving this normality requires one of the most arduous tests of will that a man can endure, one which is rarely pursued by men outside of special settings. Having no orgasm for 90 days (or longer) is a titanic task that should not be taken lightly.
This brings me to the central point of my argument, and I think this argument will help monkfags achieve much longer streaks. There is no such thing as a reboot, and anons are not trying to normalize when they go on nofaps. The self-improvement curve of a long nofap streak puts a practitioner far above normal, not only in terms of willpower, but also emotional insight and intellectual progress.
In other words, you are not using nofap to become a normal person, you are using it to become superhuman.
The main reason for starting this thread is to change the framing of the whole endeavor. Semen retention is used to gather truly immense power, and using it just because you want to be a normalfag with a sloppy gf that you can fuck raw is retarded.
We have to realize that we've come across something immensely powerful that we are just beginning to comprehend.
Story time
Hey former no fapper here with a 6 month record under my belt and just want to give some friendly advice.
For me the first 2 months were the hardest, no porn, no fap, no sex or sexual activities really took a toll on my drive. But through focusing on lifting and studying/reading the urges finally broke giving me a great appreciation for the willpower required.
You can expect after breaking the 2 month period an increase in sexual prowess, energy, focus and general drive. My lifting ability rose steeply after this period as well as my ability to attract girls. I speculate that this was due to increased testosterone affecting muscle and pheromone production.
Although there were some negatives, irritability, agitation and going ape shit now and then. But its the same kicking any addiction, former misuse of opiates, alcohol, weed and tobacco will teach you this.
Diminishing returns set in for me at the 4-5 month mark, it is likely that once your body adjusts to the new norm you start to forget what it used to feel like. Making you feel like the grass is greener on the other side.
I decided to end it once I broke 6 months and continue on with no porn for a further 2 months.
The topic comes up once in a while with friends and everyone either thinks your a god or mentally ill, but in hindsight I see the journey as simply a self building exercise. One that I intend to pick back up sometime.
Good luck guys its worth it but in moderation, holding out for 6+ months would be edging on extreme in my personal opinion. But only you can be the judge of this, I'm sure there could be long term benefits but for a young guy it wasn't for me.
When is it a relapse?
I see a lot of posts on this board asking when exactly something counts as a relapse. Hopefully this post will clear up any confusion.These criteria assume that the reader is going for a complete nofap/noporn streak. Obviously if you're only doing noporn fapping to the thought of a girl won't end your streak. You should also remember that just because you fucked up one thing doesn't mean you have to throw all your progress away (eg. if you edge, don't feel like you might as well cum, if you fap, don't think you might as well binge).
>Is it a relapse if I see porn?
If you didn't intentionally seek it out, no. Ignore it and move on.
>Is it a relapse if I sought out porn but stopped myself from doing anything and exited out?
It sort of depends on how long you were looking at it. If you watched it for a while, yes. But if you looked for it but didn't click or whatever, I'd say no. This one's really dependent on how much you watched/for how long, etc.
>Is it a relapse if I edged?
Yes.
>Is it a relapse if I had sexual thoughts but didn't touch myself?
Not unless you're going full monkmode.
>Does a wet dream count as a relapse?
No.
>Does sex count as a relapse?
No.
>Does a handjob count as a relapse?
No, since it was someone else jerking you off It better have been a girl, you faggot .
Feel free to pose your own questions ITT.
Hygiene
How are my fellow NoFappers with hygiene?
In an effort to attract a female mate, I have increased my frequency of showers from once per two weeks to once per week.
I have started to use q-tips to clean out my earwax and have also started to use deoderant.
Also at the suggestion of my mum, I have ceased throwing used toilet paper into the rubbish bin and instead flush it down the toilet.
To bang, or not to bang
So I'm in my first relationship now, I figure this is the best possible time to hop on the /nofap/ train, but I have a question.
So we mess around, but we've decided on no sex till marriage. Any hand stuff is fine, mouth stuff on special occasions. I have to ask; is mutual masturbation breaking nofap? I know nofap is about breaking porn addiction, so staying monogamous (especially with my prime girl, leaving me with no other reference) is still breaking the degeneracy. I just don't know if I should give up orgasms all together.
Really the biggest reason I'm doing this is because her sex drive is much lower than mine. She has fucked up hormones and doesn't get in the mood but once a month (on the flip side, I only have to deal with a medically induced period once every three months so that's how I keep her lol), but she still messes around with me fairly often just to tame my sex drive. I just feel bad, like I'm pressuring her, and would prefer not to get hyperaggressive every few days because I haven't came. I picked porn back up to try to relieve some of that tension, but it just makes me feel shitty. I'm only really satisfied when she gets me off. On one hand, I know cold turkey will kill my sex drive in the long run; but on the other short term it's really going to fuck with my relationship (especially trying to explain that I'm trying to quit porn. She's insecure enough as it is, she's never going to believe she's the only satisfaction I can get). Idk which way to go…
What's the secret to a successful nofap?
I've been on nofap for two weeks now and the only benefit is being horny all day! They're making every moment a thought about fapping or having sex. At least I don't have to worry about not having sex but it's not fair because I know I don't want to fap but these constant erections are leading me to edge. Even when I'm not erect, I'm catching myself squeezing myself.
Nofap September: 3rd times the charm
WHOSE READY TO DO THIS SHIT AGAIN?
So I forgot to make the thread on time this year, but better late than never.
There are already other nofap threads, but most of those are indefinite. I thought that having another thread for people who don't feel ready to go complete cold turkey yet or whose failed to really do it before need a goal with an end to look forward too. What's good about this is that you don't have to fap after day 30. You just have to make it 30 days. After that, you can keep going however long you want.
So yeah, do it for whatever reason you like. You can cum join us at anytime you like, just make sure it's 30 days. No edging, no porn, nothin'. But this would all be useless if you weren't spending the time you were fapping doing something more productive. So I guess post the reason why you're here, how long you want to go for, and what you'll be doing in the mean time.
And remember: Don't fap ya cunt.
Today is the day.
STOP MASTURBATING
I will actually start tomorrow, so that the 5th of August will be Day One.
I've attempted many times, but I never went over 3 weeks.
But still, I made progress. Last year I was jerking off to every picture I found browsing chans, now it happens maybe once or twice a week.
May Varg bless us all. Stay strong.
NoFap July 2017 edition, niBBas
July is here. A new month with new possibilities.
Will you finally stop fapping for a month? I will sure give it a try. I'm at day 4 already and I will greatly accept the month challenge. Post you progress and goals in this thread for this month.
Daily reminder that pornography is the iconography of the devil. Fuck you, Satan, you hold no power over me.
Praise our Lord who art in Heaven. Amen.
Peusdo-normie Saga Blog
Well boys, here we go. 25 years old and I've been wasting myself on porn since I was 15. No more. I am currently wrapping up day 5. Each new day begins at 12am EST. The longest I have ever gone was 11 days in an older attempt. Now I'm serious about it. The fun part? I'm ending this at the same time I begin the process of cutting ties with my gril. We had dated for 2 years, then split up and did our own thing. Now we're considering getting back. We've both dated others in our time apart, but she confessed she had a one-night stand during that time. Maybe I'm autistic but I can't abide by that kind of behavior. It's one thing when you're in committed relationship, but 'muh cummies' is fucking pathetic. So anyways, I'll be without a gril. I have the power to call up an old girl who always wants the dick but I refuse to be a degenerate who fucks his emotions to get some base relief.
Enough about that bullshit you probably don't care about. I'm currently feeling the fantastic nofap side effects such as anxiety, loss of appetite, and insomnia. I guarantee this is all exacerbated by my thoughts on my relationship. Feel free to join me and post your own status, struggles. I'm going to keep myself busy and swim some laps.
why
lately nofap has been ruff
>fapping every 2 days like a fucking normie
I don't get it. I see people getting to day 33, day 90 etc and here I am relapsing every two days like a fucking nigger. Is it correlative, like something to do the environment I'm being subjected to, or have I just given up? I honestly do not know.
fetish problem
>TFW working steadily on working out and nofapping
>tfw femdom fetish
>this will atrtact wymen once I repair my dopamine receptors
>I still would rather be abused sexually and psyhicall beaten by a women than have sex
Can I use my nofap to make a woman want to make me her slave? or do femdom Dommes only do it for the money rather than for lust?
if they see a hot guy do they want to tame/dominate him??
i feel the nofap benefits already but if this goes on what will occur?
honest questions, TBQH
Nofap Blog Thread JUNE Edition
Another month has begun. It's time to double our efforts to purge our bad habits.
An anon posted a good method of measuring success a while back. Instead of counting your streak, and going back to day 1 when you relapse, instead count it like a kill/death ratio.
>Day without fapping = 1 kill
>Fap = 1 death
I started counting like this at the start of May, end result was 15/30 (0.5KD). I'm striving to do better.
Does anyone have an epic name for nofap KD?
You can still count your longest streak too for fun. Could format posts like
Faps/relapses
Current Streak:
Best Streak:
tl;dr: itt post nofap K/D ratios
sorry for my post being autistic
I just survived edging AMA
Has anyone else done the same?
Back when, I tried to do a challenge where one would edge for two weeks, then let out the load, but every time I tried to just edge, I ended up climaxing and losing the challenge after 1 or 2 days. Now, I'm constantly trying to resist the urge to just go to sadpanda and lose my 9 day progress. Just a few minutes ago, I was stroking muh dik through my pants and was 2 movements away from cumming buckets, but I looked away from my screen and went straight here.

HELP
I just spent 50 minutes looking at and downloading porn. I was halfway jacking it all the while doing so, when i eventually came to my senses and stopped right then and there. After teasing myself for almost an hour I have massive blueballs and don't know what to do ;_;
