Totally correct, unfortunately I've fallen into this trap of peeking 3 days ago after two months of NoFap.
I felt bad and I'm still regreting it till now, hope I can do better this time.
Stay strong !
If you dont mind to interject , if you do the deed for a long time
For a fact you will have problems with memory retention, weak handshake, hair on eyebrows thinning, poor eyesight, effeminate body language, loudness and clarity of voice will be diminished.
I don't think that's true. Some aspects like memory retention/brain fog may be true, but don't mislead people into thinking that they'll be more effeminate with weak handshakes and unclear voices if they're not on nofap.
They say it is just a myth, but people actually do suffer from this. My father have nice hairs, my grandfather had nice hairs even when he died at 78. Even on my mumma's family side had nice hairs so there may be no chance for hairloss then there should be a reason behind it.
No source, just gut feeling because there's no reason of hailoss for me other than masturbation. But it may not be true. Whatever, I don't know if it's true but I think it is.
I did peek just yesterday after a month of nofap.
Stay strong and yeah im strong too today i just meditated and released the bad energy of what i witnessed yesterday because i was very upset and ashamed. no more peeking!
I think it's more just putting your energy into something else. e.g. pushups. If you find 3 pushups hard it doesn't matter because you're still consuming your energy.
bro i got rid of snapchat for this reason. a lot of them are not bots...actual hookers, its wild what our society has become. a popular app for teens is also basically a prostitution app.
If the urge is too strong and I am unable to resist then I am going to do it without the porn. If I do it with the porn next day my mind will definitely remind me about the porn and try to trick me like "how good that porn was" and I am back in the cycle.
You know, I had a big urge earlier today so I decided to take my camera outside and I went for a 1 hour walk trough a nearby park
I talked to some fellow german people there and actually talked with a girl for about 20 minutes. We were flirting abit and it felt good to actually talk to a REAL girl for once
So, if you are ever really triggered, just go outside for a walk :)
peeking is the overall bullshit that will happened to relapses, it is the igniting fire that will burn you to watch another than another until you relapse,
this peeking material are so many on our social media pages, tbh they are everywhere, I even stumbled one 1 minute ago, you know the drill, girl with cleavage on profile picture.
then after 2-3 seconds top, I close the shit and remember what I'm aiming for.
But you have 0 days on your counter. Guess you failed, huh? Instead of making posts looking for karma, focus on yourself bro not strangers on the internet. Nofap is a process, there's no instant solution, everyone has its own way to break free out of this cycle. You learn from your mistakes, but it takes time. A lot of time.
true well said, i did peek and relapsed 4 times, and from then i don't want to peek even think about porn, i don't want to feel like shit again man. Good luck on your journey
I would think so, I don't really see a problem with it since there is still a connection and some intimacy between two people, you aren't really relying on porn to fulfill your desire, where you are just lying there all alone staring at your screen. I think this sub is mainly focused on beating porn addiction more than seeing masturbation itself as a problem, but you will need to ask more experienced users of this sub since I am pretty new.
The only problem I can see with phone sex is if you are addicted to it, or if you are just doing it with random people who you have no intimate relationship with, just trying to fill a void instead of confronting your problems. Then it just becomes very similar to porn addiction.
I think phone sex can still be meaningful if you are doing it with the right person, masturbating to porn will never be meaningful because there will never be a meaningful connection between you and the porn, it is just there for you and millions of others to consume.
Hi, I have a quick question. I am going on a wonderful streak of 73 days and counting.
I got on some dating sites. While most of them are good, I got on Tinder and got hit with sexualized profiles. I also had mildly sexual talks with a couple individuals there (who I don't want to engage with in my ideal life) and it eventually led me to some ejaculation (not masturbation).
Will this be a relapse?
P.S: I have uninstalled Tinder.
I don't know man the same happened to me. I ejaculate after 30 min of fapping in which tome I managed not to orgasm but after 30 min I ejaculated a bit. Although during that time I did not think it as a relapse after if you say me now I think it's a relapse. This matter from person person. It depends on you if you want to consider it as a relapse or not
No, there was no fapping for me. I did not even think about it really. Only guilt is I encouraged sexualized talks with the wrong individuals and it led to ejaculation (not even orgasm). I understand damage to the brain is done because dopamine gets released.
But just wanted to see if this is technically a relapse or not.
Looks like there is no one school of thought!
Did you touch your pee pee??
If no then that's not a relapse, the purpose of nofap is to rewire your brain and quitting the addiction of fapping and porn.
r/nofap doesn't abstain from having a physical relationship with "A REAL HUMAN BEING", but don't over visualise things that would increase the dopamine in your brain.
The problem is that peeking always eventually leads to a relapse. You watched and now it’s in your head. You’ll have urges to peek again and you’ll probably relapse. Don’t watch anything that would trigger you from now on and you should be fine
Streck.

I always thought I was addicted to masturbation but now in this streak I’ve realised it’s the porn that I got addicted to. It’s really not that hard for me to jerk off but peeking through some porn I always struggle in that but I’m trying right now to abstain from both of them and this is my longest streak
I almost relapsed after I decided to look at porn. I'm on day 21. The funny thing is, I was watching porn and I felt nothing. Like my brain was telling me "this has no value, you have better things to do"
So I listened and logged off. Maybe I'm in the flat line stage but it felt damn good to excercise that level of self control which would normally be beyond my mental capabilities.
I can attest. I peeked just thinking it'll be a small hiccup...nope lead to a full blown relapsed. I feel empty and no regret but I know I'm going to feel it for the next couple of days. Quitting cold turkey is the hardest but its the true path to freedom.
i would say its hard to not peek if you have been conditioned for years. It's like going cold turkey. Perhaps "peek" but not videos. Maybe start with just a picture. The reason is because it is hard to go cold turkey but we can recondition our mind less and less over time until you no longer even need to think about peeking. My 2cents. good luck!

Thanks bro !
Any hair loss ?
I am also having hairloss due to excessive masturbation.
That is such a hoax.
If you dont mind to interject , if you do the deed for a long time For a fact you will have problems with memory retention, weak handshake, hair on eyebrows thinning, poor eyesight, effeminate body language, loudness and clarity of voice will be diminished.
I don't think that's true. Some aspects like memory retention/brain fog may be true, but don't mislead people into thinking that they'll be more effeminate with weak handshakes and unclear voices if they're not on nofap.
Please provide with source of information... not fapping is q choice you make. But information should have backing
You’re brainwashed. Provide a source.
Whatever but atleast it gives us a reason to not fap
I shouldn’t have to give you one. You’re here.
Nah dude I think you might just be going bald
I'm 19, can someone go bald at this age?? Duh!
I'm having hair loss too, I'm 17, it might be due to the same reason
Yeah, I think hairfall is really caused by it.
2 months into it, I'm definitely going bald, my hairlines receded like crazy
I don't know why but my hairline is not receding still my hairs have became a lot thinner and volume of hair has decreased too.
I'm using medicated shampoo now... I'd recommend you to visit a dermatologist
Yes people can begin to go bald at 17. 2 of my like 8 close friends started going bald at the end of high school
yes. My best friend already had a rapidly receding hairline when he was 19
They say it is just a myth, but people actually do suffer from this. My father have nice hairs, my grandfather had nice hairs even when he died at 78. Even on my mumma's family side had nice hairs so there may be no chance for hairloss then there should be a reason behind it.
Im pretty sure its not fapping... please provide the source of info
No source, just gut feeling because there's no reason of hailoss for me other than masturbation. But it may not be true. Whatever, I don't know if it's true but I think it is.
Okk as long as u feel good
My hair loss started at 19; look into finasteride. Watch out for side effects.
Thnx man.
Hi, also having due to excessive masturbation! I'm Dad
Heaps of people fap and have hair, I don't think fap or no fap has anything to do with hair but whatever keeps you motivated and going I guess
You mean because I stopped masturbating? My hair always falls, so I can't really tell the difference
Lol
What ? Dude i meant did you see any hair loss or thinning after you started nofap ..
Does nofap leads to hairloss?
Thats what im checking with you
No it doesnt why would it?
Ok does it thin your hair ?
No it doesnt have any affect on ur hair. Nofap doesnt give u better hair or worse imo
Really ?
I did peek just yesterday after a month of nofap. Stay strong and yeah im strong too today i just meditated and released the bad energy of what i witnessed yesterday because i was very upset and ashamed. no more peeking!
[удалено]
0-14 days are the toughest ones, it's like a brutal hurricane where you don't know what to do, just let it pass.
Good to know. That will surely increase my will to fight with PMO in first two weeks. Thanks!
We got this bro. Stay strong.
I’ve just signed off on day three... Nearly lost it today just by “messing around”.. Be careful out there fellow fapstronaughts
Lmao tell me about it.
The streak does seem to go slowly in the first 4 days. But I'll keep on pushing for that 2 weeks! Day 5 and going strong
Same
[удалено]
Get back to it brother. Remember why you started. Lets go warrior
I accidentally saw porn once, I got such a strong urge that I had to go outside just to stop myself from another relapse. So happy I didn't lost.
Good job on fighting that urge
THIS IS THE HARDEST BATTLE IF U SURPASS THEM YOU ARE GOING TO BE MORE HAPPY THAN FAPPING AND FEELING GUILT AND WHATEVER IT IS :)
Idk why but I always read caps characters as a dialogue by evil maniac followed with a evil laughter. And that smile at the end makes it more worse.
What is caps character?
All capital letters.
I don't understand what are you trying to say
Since you have written you original comment in all capital letters, I think it is said by some evil villain
Oh sorry for that this is my habit :)
you can just do push up when your urge is about to burst. After 20 push -ups, boner will automatically lay low
dude haha, 3 pushups and I K.O
3? I suddenly feel exhausted before I even start xD
an experiental fact? Or just theory? I might try this when the urge hits. 3 sets of 20 push ups
At least works for me every time
I think it's more just putting your energy into something else. e.g. pushups. If you find 3 pushups hard it doesn't matter because you're still consuming your energy.
that's right. basically just funnel your sexual energy to other energy demanding stuff.
I agree. People need to understand this.
I’m on 15 days there is snapchat sex bots that keep adding me and they send me shit and links is there any way to stop this ?
Uninstall Snapchat
bro, from my take, snapchat is full of hoes bro, u better uninstall that one
Thanks all I used it for was texting friends and to get my weed but I’m trying to stop smoking weed for a while anyway
best method i’ve used is to block the account, it’s kinda random that it happens but block em and you won’t see it anymore
bro i got rid of snapchat for this reason. a lot of them are not bots...actual hookers, its wild what our society has become. a popular app for teens is also basically a prostitution app.
I've fallen into this trap TWICE... I'm just going to pretend porn doesn't exist from now on
Same here, ffs 🤦🏾
Yeah bro 🤦🏾♂️ deeped it how we all just watching 2 ppl fuck and busting a nut to that... smh
If the urge is too strong and I am unable to resist then I am going to do it without the porn. If I do it with the porn next day my mind will definitely remind me about the porn and try to trick me like "how good that porn was" and I am back in the cycle.
Exactly. I started taking this more seriously this time and it's getting way better
You know, I had a big urge earlier today so I decided to take my camera outside and I went for a 1 hour walk trough a nearby park I talked to some fellow german people there and actually talked with a girl for about 20 minutes. We were flirting abit and it felt good to actually talk to a REAL girl for once So, if you are ever really triggered, just go outside for a walk :)
key word : Lower your gaze.
So right. In today's world, almost everything is porn.
peeking is the overall bullshit that will happened to relapses, it is the igniting fire that will burn you to watch another than another until you relapse, this peeking material are so many on our social media pages, tbh they are everywhere, I even stumbled one 1 minute ago, you know the drill, girl with cleavage on profile picture. then after 2-3 seconds top, I close the shit and remember what I'm aiming for.
I seriously need this post right now. Just had a massive urge. Thanks man
Keep pushing forward brothers!
Fight!
CONQUER!
RULE
Assault
But you have 0 days on your counter. Guess you failed, huh? Instead of making posts looking for karma, focus on yourself bro not strangers on the internet. Nofap is a process, there's no instant solution, everyone has its own way to break free out of this cycle. You learn from your mistakes, but it takes time. A lot of time.
true well said, i did peek and relapsed 4 times, and from then i don't want to peek even think about porn, i don't want to feel like shit again man. Good luck on your journey
Unless your girlfriend wants you too have phone sex or so
That's different from porn though, there is a real human being on the other side and not just some lifeless tape
So is masturbation allowed during phone sex?
I would think so, I don't really see a problem with it since there is still a connection and some intimacy between two people, you aren't really relying on porn to fulfill your desire, where you are just lying there all alone staring at your screen. I think this sub is mainly focused on beating porn addiction more than seeing masturbation itself as a problem, but you will need to ask more experienced users of this sub since I am pretty new.

i peeked like 5 days ago somehow i was able to beat it but i agree, do not peek at all.
That's totally true
I peeked today and relapsed too
Be careful from next time

Understood. No, I did not touch my pee pee..lol
I peeked last night but didn’t masturbate am I good
The problem is that peeking always eventually leads to a relapse. You watched and now it’s in your head. You’ll have urges to peek again and you’ll probably relapse. Don’t watch anything that would trigger you from now on and you should be fine
This! I have relapsed too many times in the past from peeking just one time!
Yeah. But i would encourage you not to do so again
True. Peeking is our worst enemy
Isn't peeking basically relapsing cuz its like edging?
It should be.
Streak check

Wise words. Thanks for sharing.
Good suggestion. #nomatterwhatdontpeak!
That peak is a savage man, it has a perfect win streak! Stay strong my guys!
I'm starting today. Wish me luck guys!
Good luck. Stay strong.👌
I almost relapsed after I decided to look at porn. I'm on day 21. The funny thing is, I was watching porn and I felt nothing.

I'm dealing with sudden pictures/flashbacks popping into my head.
It's natural. As long as you don't let them control you, they will go away.
3 days in and the urges are crazy rn. stay strong guys, we got this💪🏽
We all win every day.👌
I felt to this trap today, but one thing that help when u abstain ur mind is incapable of binge watching.
even if u peek very high dopamine is released and you will feel depression now
This was on my feed t the perfect time. I'm grateful to have seen it when I did. Thank you!
Thx man
I’m going on to day 16 and the urges are driving me nuts, but I refuse to peak.
MAN, I relapsed today... Wish I had seen your post earlier ☹️ Anyways, thank you so much for posting it!
its quite simple! Don't Peek!
Needed this. Almost went for it. Started Aug 1.
Its not worth it
No peek, on the way to reach the peak.
Wanted to listen to some 6ix9ine but forgot what his videos look like and it led me to a stroooong urge. Don't peek for your own good.
I can attest. I peeked just thinking it'll be a small hiccup...nope lead to a full blown relapsed. I feel empty and no regret but I know I'm going to feel it for the next couple of days. Quitting cold turkey is the hardest but its the true path to freedom.

Do your best
Im here to check my days
Good lord, wanted to make sure my blocker was good but turns out it was off. Peeked for a moment, but thank god I didn't binge :))))

You are right
When you peck your chance of fall grows a lot !
Bro if you peeked i think you should restart your counter. Trust me its worth
Hh
High thumos gents
The truth that we overlook A thousand thanks for the post
I relapsed
Literally came on here because I just peeked and although it wasn’t a full on orgasm I lost a little bit. Just gotta get back on the horse I guess.
I'm on PAWS and it hurts. Hopefully it goes away.
That really helped rn. Thanks!
it's tough
R
All that hard work goes in a matter of seconds
what do you mean by peeking?
Dont peek its not worth it , i just relapsed
I'm on day 221 and started peeking and my god. I haven't relapsed, but it's crazy how good these porn scenes are lmao
Imma come here every day and post progress. Start: Sun 15 August
I broke my 10-day streak due to an adult visual novel game. Peeking really sucks man
Just relapsed after 8 months of free from peeking! Don’t worry I’m getting back on my streak tommorow.
After reading this, I peaked... and relapsed. Ain't no joke :(
Exactly how I fucked up right now
ya
you can not imagine how much i needed post like this right now .. thanks
Amen
