/nofap/ - Fappers Anonymous

Good luck anon.

Day three. Every single time I go a few days without fapping my acne clears up almost completely, which has happened again this time. I've tried looking up a scientific explanation for it but all I got was a bunch of jews claiming "there's no correlation, fapping is fine goyim." Has anyone else experienced this? Because there's no way it's a coincidence, although it could be a placebo. Also whenever I jack off my balls get really itchy afterwards, which is also not happening anymore. I assume it's the sweat.

Literally me. My personal record is 15 days, which took 2 years to get to. Day 10 right now.

I was about 7 or 8 when I got to p*rn. I discovered nofap like two years ago. Currently on my 12th or 13th day. My record was 39 days so far. Going for nofap for life, wish me luck I also wish luck to all of you

Almost in the same state as you, OP; my longest was about 9 days, and I'm at 4 right now. The key to countering the porn opiate is to make nofap a fun thing to do.

>Every single time I go a few days without fapping my acne clears up almost completely, Has anyone else experienced this?

Supporting this claim anecdotally. The zits just disappear from my face after 4 days of nofap. No amount of washing or product can clean up fap-induced acne.

Day 4, I feel good in general but man porn withdraws are real. I thought about something lewd and I got extremely horny, my heart started beating like crazy, I started breathing heavily, and my stomach started hurting. It took all my willpower to not jump on the computer and look something up. This is definitely not standard arousal.

We live in a sick time in which stupid, irresponsible parents give their 7 year old children phones or tablets (which are in themselves designed solely for surveillance) and let them use it without supervision or restrictions. These kids are so fucked. They'll have no ability to concentrate or be patient, and they'll all be addicted to cheap thrills and instant gratification from apps that are designed to be addictive to children. And then they'll discover porn. It makes me sick.

>>14506

I get those same symptoms. I also start to shiver when it's really bad.

>Second half of post

That's why we fight.

Day 5. I couldn't sleep well last night, was super horny. Looked at porn a bit but luckily didn't start fapping. Having a tulpa to encourage me is helpful.

>>14516

Stop looking at porn.

>>14520

No kidding

Day 6. Considering getting rid of my smartphone.

>>14532

Where do you usually fap with the phone? You could try just not taking it with you to triggering areas.

>>14538

Oh, I'm not considering it because of fapping, I want to get rid of it because it's a huge time waster and spies on everything I do.

>>14538

>fapping to porn on your phone

How the hell do you even achieve this? How can you be aroused by a screen that's smaller than your own damned dick?

Whelp, I made it to day 7 then relapsed. I feel bad, but not too bad. I'm gonna go for 2 weeks this time.

>>14532

Do people unironically fap on their phone?

I can only imagine it works as well as gaming on a smartphone meaning not at all.

Day one. Had a close call.

Day 2

Day 3. I turned a chick down in a dream lmao.

>>14597

Good lad.

Day 4. I've stopped using shampoo to wash my hair and instead use nothing but cold water and it's working surprisingly well. Also I got a job and school is starting again which will help keep me busy, which is good.

>>14599

You got it

Day 5

Day 6, barely made it.

>>14630

Anon2 here, still just one day ahead of you

Day 7

Day 8, new record.

>tfw can't sleep naked anymore

Made it to day 9 then relapsed, not to porn though. I'm still pretty horny, if that means anything.

On an unrelated note, I've started washing my face without soap, along with my hair. I used to basically scrub my face with it, but now I lightly wash it with cool water. It's already making a big difference after about a week and my skin isn't super oily anymore, which has made me realize that my dermatologist was retarded. When I was a teen I had pretty bad acne, so I went to a dermatologist. He took one look at me and went "you need antibiotics." The antibiotics actually worked quite well, although they had a side effect that made my skin super sensitive to sunlight so if I stood in the sun for more than 30 minutes I would get bright red, blistering sunburns. However, once the prescription was through my acne came right back. Did my dermatologist tell me to stop masturbating every day? Did he tell me to not scrub my face with abrasive chemicals? No, he didn't. He just made me pay for some pills that didn't even solve the problem. Fucker.

Never trust an NPC in clown world.

Day 1

Some advice is always welcome, so go ahead.

I think It's important to understand you're trying to kill two addictions. One is porn, the other is orgasms. Staying away from porn is your top priority in the beginning. Learn to scroll straight past it if you browse boards where it occasionally gets posted. I will not encourage you to fap when you're horny, but if you end up doing it without porn, this means progress. Especially if you were the type who could never get off without porn. As for nofap, the most difficult period is the first two weeks. If you're super horny, go outside. If you can't, lie down or sit, close your eyes, and wait for the feeling to subside. It will, just hold on. The thing that discouraged me most in the beginning was the thought that by giving these things up, I'd have to endure a life of temptation. The great thing is that this isn't true at all. You stop giving a fuck. This doesn't mean you have no libido, it just means you have the power to call upon it when you want to instead of having it forced upon you. I can guarantee that most people who relapse after a month or more do it because they were bored and thought hey I wonder what touching my dick feels like after not touching it for so long, lemme just edge a bit. Protip: it doesn't feel that special. It's actually so sensitive that it isn't very pleasurable. That's the point where it's not about enduring temptation, but about keeping focus.

Anyway, don't give up. You won't regret it.

Day 2

>>14693

>>14702

Yeah, the same thing happened with me. I'm on Day 33 at the moment, but I was full into /d/, tranny, doujin and 3D stuff. When that wouldn't do it for me, I'd go to e621 to escalate further, or look at m4m ads on Craigslist / Locanto and fantasise.

Like, I don't think I'm even gay, I'm just escalating to something that is easier to get than real vagoo. I messaged a couple of guys but always chickened out when I finished fapping. Thank fuck.

The thing I'm confused about at the moment is escorts, they're completely legal in Australia. My last streak before this was 12 days, and I relapsed looking at them online (yep, basically porn). My friends want me to hop on Tinder and Bumble, and I'm reading Models by Mark Manson and it's really helping.

Basically, I see escorts as a last resort that I probably won't need. Being a virgin probably has some unresolved issues attached to it, so if it gets to a point where I'm fucking up everything because of that, I'll take the easy out. I don't think that's the case though.

Anyway, nofap is a great confidence boost but what am I in for the next 60 days? Any tips?

Gay people claim that homosexuality is something you are born with and don't develop. They are mostly right. You can develop a fetish for the same sex just from exposure to it when you're fapping. I'm not a psychologist, and I've never seen any research on this, but in my opinion fetishes arise because your brain associates the pleasure of porn, masturbation, and orgasm with whatever you're looking at. So when you were younger, you whacked it to "normal" vanilla porn. Eventually you gained a resistance to that (as I explained in the op) so you searched out "harder" porn. This is where fetishes begin. I'm sure you know that things that would be disgusting to you normally can be hot when you're already horny. So you whack it to something weird, and eventually after doing that daily you start to have a pavlovian reaction of arousal to things that would otherwise be disgusting to you. This is why straight men jack off to traps, this is why people get into depraved bdsm stuff, this is why weebs claim "2d is better!", why people dress up in fursuits/kigurumi, etc. (this doesn't apply to scat/vore, those have a different reason for existing altogether.) I also think that bisexuality doesn't exist, and that it's just a fetish. The good thing about this is that you can get rid of your fetishes just by going several months without watching porn.

>Basically, I see escorts as a last resort that I probably won't need. Being a virgin probably has some unresolved issues attached to it

Do you know that tired empty sad feeling you get when the rush passes after you fap? You will still feel this with a woman. Real women are just another kind of porn. Unless you develop real mutual feelings for one another, it will always be just as pointless and soul sucking as jacking off. It sounds like you're incredibly fucking desperate, and I'd like to help, even though I've never been that far gone. When I was into really degenerate fetishes, I started by restricting myself to fapping to porn without dicks (lesbians). Eventually I weened that into only fapping to solo female. I finally quit porn and just fapped to my imagination, and then quit fapping all together. This took me a couple years, and I did have relapses every now and then. When you're really truly addicted to a drug, it's really difficult to quit cold turkey without having someone to hold you accountable. I think this weening strategy was right for me, and maybe it is for you.

Day 4

Day 5

Day 6, barely made it, once again.

>>14745

I had a spell of what I can only describe as "mind fog" earlier today. You CAN do this. You're almost out of the gutter.

Day 7

Day 8

>>14773

Thanks, I feel like I'm doing better this time.

Day 9

I edged a bunch but managed to get control of myself and didn't orgasm, but I still kinda feel like I relapsed. How bad is edging really? Obviously I shouldn't do it, but should I restart my streak or something?

>>14792

>Obviously I shouldn't do it

Agreed

>but should I restart my streak or something?

IMO you shouldn't. Your streak is a mental thing, and resetting it every time you slip up can be demoralizing, and lead to more fapping than the edging you were doing.

Well I relapsed anyways. I'm seem to be having trouble getting past a week. I'm gonna be more vigilant with not looking at porn.

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Day 5

I had the first wet dream of my life. I wouldn't have counted it as a relapse, but I was so horny afterwards that I ended up fapping anyways.

Day 0

Relapsed again. I can do this.

Keep having wet dreams… I'm not fantasizing about sexual things, looking at porn, or touching it at all so I don't know why it's happening. Do they stop after a while?

>>15023

Day 311 still no wet dreams

A good hint I've found is that your bed is only for sleeping. Don't lay in your bed just to relax, only lay in it if you intend to sleep. ESPECIALLY don't do anything that requires thinking while laying down, because when you are laying your brain starts resting and you become less alert. You've also (probably) been conditioned to associating your bed with jacking off, so try to avoid it. Also, don't use your phone or laptop at night before going to sleep. Not only will it tempt you to look at porn, but it also makes it hard to fall asleep.

Finally made it to day 7 again.

Day 8

>>14532

I honestly think I'm so addicted to my phone it is horrendous. My eyes ache and I'm going blind. I always need to use it to feel alright, but without it I am dead. I wanted to beat the shit out of it and smash it to pieces to free myself from this, but nowadays I need the phone, and it pisses me off. Maybe I have a tumor in my brain because only one of my eyes is going bad and I feel like one side of my body is not as able as the other halve if you understand what I mean.

When I do nofap I think that I feel more shitty but I act more confidently in some situations. I look more manly but maybe it is just the exercises or a placebo.

Day 9

Day 1. Not looking at porn is harder than not fapping and it leads to fapping.

Foolish fucking boomer parents giving me unrestricted internet access and letting jewish doctors take my fucking foreskin away without the slightest urge to even question why. Fuck my parents

Day 2

>>15268

hes a goner

>>15199

OP, if you are still alive, then what you need to do is understand why you need to use a phone and porn in the first place. As I have learned wrestling with my own vices, we humans are drawn to sin because it distracts us from thinking about the harder truths in life, like death and the afterlife. What you need to realize is that porn is taking away what little time you have left on this Earth and no amount of fapping will ever change this fact. You need to confront your sex demons and use your sexual energies to become the man you always wanted to be.

>>15350

OP here, that's not me lol. My phone isn't that big of a problem, I literally only use it to chat with friends and watch Youtube, and I haven't even been doing that as much because I'm busy. I keep it away from me at night because it's way too easy to spontaneously look up porn on it.

Relapsed again, not to porn though. Doing a bit better.

>>14727

Not sure if you're going to check this, but just wanted to let you know that I'm currently on day 71 PM free, and lost my virginity to a old friend I hadn't seen in a while, it was really beautiful and we laughed a lot.

Thanks for talking me out of that one, it would have been a waste. Just know that you're the only thing that stopped me in the end, I'll buy a girl a drink on your behalf.

OP here, relapsed really bad. Counting the days on here helped I think, so day 0.
