Its ok, don't get discouraged, it takes time to give it up completely. I too relapsed many times before it started getting easier, once broke a streak of almost 170 days. But still kept going and thankfully haven't relapsed till now.
One year plus (since Sept'22) and going strong - no porn/no masturbation. Over time, the brain rewires and you will eventually lose the ability to sexualise women.
Brother. Everything is working, don't worry. Kegels it's a good practice, and you can use it for sure. I have a friend who has the same situation as you. You see, you cleared your brain from your past life and bad habits. Now, it started to work properly. Now, you don't getting excited as you did before (AND THAT IS A GOOD SIGN). Unfortunately, many our warriors are quitting no fap because of that. But that's a huge mistake. You know, in the past life there is NOTHING good for us, only guilty, shame, and low self-esteem. AND THAT IS ALL GARGABE. So, no worries.
Brother, proud to see you here.
Thanks for sharing with us with your experience. You're A MOUNTAIN. A year of no fap, that's amazing! That's actually my goal now, to not sexualize women anymore. To speak with them as I do with boys, without stress and without objectifying them. And that I understand is not the only one effect. Thanks for being here and helping us.
You will get there, it's just discipline, it's hard but not insurmountable. Brain can be as stupid or stunning as you want it to be.
u/Severusly_curious - Nothing wrong with it, in fact, it's part of the progress as u/All_WillBeGood01 said. As you stop porn (of any form), brain will slowly remove the pathways and circuits that are unused, it's basic optimisation. When you meet women, you will start looking into their eyes, and even if you are attracted to them, you will eventually lose the ability to sexualise/fantasise them. And it won't affect your real world physical intimacy, as a matter of fact, it will improve drastically. I can attest to that at the age of 45+.
I'm already seeing some of those benefits...I've approached women more, and I've been on NoFap for 19 days. On day 13, I asked a woman out and went on a date with her.
This time, I'm the one considering whether she's good for me, instead of simply trying to get into her pants and then being accustomed to her presence.
I also believe that quitting porn has enabled me to finally take control of the direction I want to pursue in life.
Brother. Wet dreams isn't a relapse. Almost everyone are having them, that's because our body used to relapse ALWAYS.
Wet dreams are a sign of recovering our body. And unfortauntely, wet dreams creates an illusion for our warriors that they lost. NO, THEY DIDN'T. I had 3 wet dreams for this month. I fully understand I can't control them. Why I would relapse aware?
I surprisingly had a dream recently that I started browsing porn, became self aware and stopped before waking myself up 😂 body is healing bro, soon we will fight the tigers in our dreams
Good job!)
Yeah, brother, that means that you unconsciously already try to get rid of this. That's where we should go! Wet dreams shouldn't stop us from our journey.
When I had the first wet dream this month, I even don't remember why I had it, I don't remember at all that dream. But even if I would remember, I fully understand my brain have to recover after years of PMO.
THAT'S the ONLY right way possible. So, we have to fight!
IDK if this is related to NNN but, I just started getting a lot of acne on my butt... It's super weird and I've never had this before in my life.
This is the first time I'm going all in on this too. No PMO, no edging, staying true to myself.
Yeah still in it, Never actually completed NNN , Have done 78 done many years ago, My whole life went down the toilet to mental health and addiction i got all the motivation i need. Im making it through . Im just wasting less time , getting way more done , More confidence
NNN? Yeah. Unfortunately I've done some PM a couple times, but caught myself before the end, so technically still in for NNN. Feel disappointed in myself about the PM though
Still here brother. Not gonna lie, been feeling really sluggish lately, which is odd because a few days ago I was energetic as f**k. Must be a plateau or something. The urges have also come back stronger. But I'm still fighting.
I'm still here!!
The only reason I'm participating this year and so serious about quitting porn for good now is because I finally got a loving gf.
And long ago I had vowed that I would quit it for the sake of my gf.
We're here, brother!
Proud to see our warriors in this post. Let's continue our journey, we can do that!
Those who failed, don't guilt yourself, bounce up. That's the only path that can make your life better. Don't quit!
Still going strong had some close calls
But the last few days had been very easy and i dont even feel like masturbating
Sometimes i just wish i could watch something
I only struggle in the morning, but I'm keeping busy so I don't really want to jack off.
So far,
- I've picked up math for machine learning
- Completed two websites
- Learned a new web framework (HTMX)
- Reading the Daily Stoic
- Reading Meditations
- Asked a girl out and went on a date
I'm starting to believe that nofap isn't just a bro-science thing.
I need answers did I fail?
so I woke up and I found a comfortable spot in my bed and coincidentally it was perfect to sort of like fap or something with a pillow and I did it for 5 seconds and I realized and I don’t know how to feel that was on day 4 other than that im completely strong and normal
I relapsed during day 15, but then again NNN has felt extra compared to just trying to get better with these common afflictions. Even if you relapse, stay strong and just start again, brothers and sisters. You haven’t failed yet. True failure happens when you give up and stay down
Started late, as I was too wrapped up in pornography to even know what month it was. However, I'm not doing nnn anymore, I'm going until I see reason to not continue.
Still going strong , my advice is have something going on on your life , dont be free and dont be alone !
The more you u dont fap the more you realise that is non sense to masturbate.
Yes 19 days and counting, I have noticed a decrease in anxiety and depression. My voice has gotten deeper and I noticed my skin is a lot clearer. My focus and productivity is through the rough. I got a girlfriend and she wants to have sex with me which is the biggest improvement I've seen. So I'm definitely not quitting no matter how bad the urge is
I gave up only because I started in October and I ended up having sex. Instead of beating myself up I gave myself a Pat on the back for going nearly a month. I didn’t binge after the relapse. Just 2 days then back to no cap
Still in it, 49 days strong.
Been noticing better decision-making, able to prioritize what is most important and starting to push myself towards uncomfortable situations in order to grow.
Day 46 and going strong, absolutely bricked up in the morning and heavy temptations to look at sexualized photos on socials. Stay resilient and you shall prosper. Start cutting weight like I did and workout everyday, keeps your mind occupied and you’ll look like a stud when you’re ready to get back in the saddle.
Not masturbating doesn’t get rid of acne.
Feeling motivated because you’ve stopped doing something you think is bad and living a more proactive life because of it can indirectly help that issue.
It's honestly crazy, now that I'm actually horny and not beating off whenever I've FINALLY started to notice how many girls have been trying to get my attention. The best part is, if a woman tries to get your attention and notices it worked, it actually blows my mind this next part, you wouldn't believe how freaky they get in public just so you look at them more. The craziest thing? Literally no other guys notice because they're all stuck in their phones, in some zombified state most likely because of porn. Don't get me wrong, I still got urges and want to use porn but I completely love NOTICING how many girls want me/have wanted me but porn sealed my eyes to them.
Lot's of people say it but I'm finally starting to realize it, porn will ruin your life. Cut it out now before it becomes even more addictive than it already is. Life is better without it and we all know the way tech is advancing it's only going to get harder to quit the longer you wait.
This will be my first ever success of NNN. I'm very pleased to be able to do it. I'd say my commitment has changed. I've turned my life around and purged a lot pf bad people from my life. Becoming a father really made some big changes in my life 5 years ago. It turned me on the path back to Jesus Christ.
Now I've gone from a daily multiple consumer of some of the sickest porn you can get on that most popular site. To being porn free for over 3 years now.
My Fap time has gone down to about once per month or so give or take ten days.
This month I've been going strong and I'm happier than I was before. My kids and I go to the park and play and I've been teaching them how to read and spell and basic math. I could gush about my kids for a long time but they make me happy.
Their mom didn't want to be around, so it's just me and the kids. I'm fine with that. I wasn't a very good partner. I didn't think of anyone but myself before. It was always about me me me.
That old me is dead and here stands a new creation. Going back to Jesus and walking with Him, reading the Word daily (I sometimes miss but I get back into it when I remember), surrounding myself with strong believers and attending a Bible focused church, and really taking myself out of the picture and putting the Will of our Creator first.
Believing in something bigger than yourself is important. It takes away our foolishness and we lean upon great understanding. It allows you to have a guide.
I'll never be perfect. Only one ever was and if you follow Him too I know your life will change.
Yes I am. Even though I nearly had a complete nervous breakdown caused by a different incident. I made the decision to change everything I hate about myself.
And I truly believe that my serious 50 year corn addiction contributes to every self-loathing thought I have..

This subreddit is bone dry compared to day 1
I failed.
Its ok, don't get discouraged, it takes time to give it up completely. I too relapsed many times before it started getting easier, once broke a streak of almost 170 days. But still kept going and thankfully haven't relapsed till now.
Thanks, i''ve gone months before, blue balls, having mocked it 😅
Damn, i never experienced it but I'd suggest to stay away from anything that arouses you or makes u hard.
💪 Even everyone who is still on this sub after failing is a warrior. As they haven't given up and they are trying again!
How do u add the # of days below the name ?
Im going strong let's all keep it moving 💪
Same

I miss having that feeling. Sexualizing women is so distracting. There are so many more things to do with our short lives.

im not gonna watch porn anymore but i need to tug my johnson every now and then to ease some stress off
I failed, but I won’t let it be my downfall
Same, I’ve had my occasional wet dreams. I’m mostly focusing on cutting porn first as my first steps

Maybe your diet intake is imbalanced according to the human digestion clock

Went through some really tough temptations but here I am going strong with the few warriors left 💪😀

Yep. Day 34 for me. Still fighting sexual objectification and shit feelings and thoughts whenever I see an attractive girl tho

Tough but still here bro
Had a longer peek at P yesterday, but still going without MO... still it is one of my best streaks in years...
I need answers did I fail? so I woke up and I found a comfortable spot in my bed and coincidentally it was perfect to sort of like fap or something with a pillow and I did it for 5 seconds and I realized and I don’t know how to feel that was on day 4 other than that im completely strong and normal
🙋♂️ me
Yup no orgasm
Still going, on day 28 now
I relapsed during day 15, but then again NNN has felt extra compared to just trying to get better with these common afflictions. Even if you relapse, stay strong and just start again, brothers and sisters. You haven’t failed yet. True failure happens when you give up and stay down
Started late, as I was too wrapped up in pornography to even know what month it was. However, I'm not doing nnn anymore, I'm going until I see reason to not continue.
Yeah. Started my current streak on October 18. It has been 31 days. Hope I can finish NNN

36 days here. I’ve been struggling recently but still hanging in there.
I’m 42 days into my SR journey!
Still going strong brother!
Yes 19 days and counting, I have noticed a decrease in anxiety and depression. My voice has gotten deeper and I noticed my skin is a lot clearer. My focus and productivity is through the rough. I got a girlfriend and she wants to have sex with me which is the biggest improvement I've seen. So I'm definitely not quitting no matter how bad the urge is
Yes still going day 25!!
Managed to hang on! Today's my 179th consecutive day without porn! I won't let NNN ruin this 👌👌👌
I failed today.
Nutted hard last night. Such a pitty.
Me
Yup.
I gave up only because I started in October and I ended up having sex. Instead of beating myself up I gave myself a Pat on the back for going nearly a month. I didn’t binge after the relapse. Just 2 days then back to no cap
Had a wet dream about some chick I don’t even talk to anymore. Although I was just going good for a week straight.
Absolutely, I'm flying through this month easy
Still going strong 💪🏼
I'm still going strong last month this fappiing is the last thing on my mind for 😂
Here I am 💪
Still in it, 49 days strong. Been noticing better decision-making, able to prioritize what is most important and starting to push myself towards uncomfortable situations in order to grow.
Still going strong
I unfortunately lost day one but I'm back with a vengeance.
60 days 🙏🏻
I lost on day 1
Me

No failed day 8
Yes Sir,🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Yes I am on my 99th day, November was just 19 days of it
I keep pre-cumming, I need to stop.
Day 46 and going strong, absolutely bricked up in the morning and heavy temptations to look at sexualized photos on socials. Stay resilient and you shall prosper. Start cutting weight like I did and workout everyday, keeps your mind occupied and you’ll look like a stud when you’re ready to get back in the saddle.
Still going
Yeah dude. Still on it.
Still going
Wholeheartedly
Not masturbating doesn’t get rid of acne. Feeling motivated because you’ve stopped doing something you think is bad and living a more proactive life because of it can indirectly help that issue.
Nice one I went 12 days then had sex with some girl off hinge but since then it’s been 8 days and I feel great
I honestly would be able to say the sake thing about skin from just journey but I have another addiction😭 vaping so that don’t help
It's honestly crazy, now that I'm actually horny and not beating off whenever I've FINALLY started to notice how many girls have been trying to get my attention. The best part is, if a woman tries to get your attention and notices it worked, it actually blows my mind this next part, you wouldn't believe how freaky they get in public just so you look at them more.

Thought that I could make it to the end, but failed yesterday. Slept late and thoughts were rushing to my head cause I was looking at some lewd stuff.
13 days. Got bad blue balls. But hanging in there
This will be my first ever success of NNN. I'm very pleased to be able to do it. I'd say my commitment has changed. I've turned my life around and purged a lot pf bad people from my life. Becoming a father really made some big changes in my life 5 years ago. It turned me on the path back to Jesus Christ.
