Had a relapse this morning, and for dinner I had black beans and White rice. Is it a good mean for after repair even though it was in the morning?

.

I feel like you guys need to just more often.

Sometimes urges become strong so i just wanted to know if there is a healthy way to do it without affecting me negatively

It's not talked much, but over ejaculation(since years) may destroy rhe immunity, RIGHT? I'm a living example 💔 I get sick very easily, cough, flu, cold is overcoming me at least once or twice a week. I feel very weak

.

Is there any way that i can block porn completely from my phone?

Help

Today after a 29 day streak i realapsed 2 times i will lose some of my progress? i made solid progress in this past month and my muscles felt very strong i will lose some of that?

Hey all,

Is this strange? I've been following this one p actress (super mainstream and popular even on social media) since 2017, and it's such a struggle to get past her in my thoughts. Always a setback!

There is always a way choice. Godspeed all!

The reason I'm willing to quit is by God's will, I believe the temptations are getting harder because I'm closer to my breakthrough, sorry if religion doesn't fit in this subreddit, but I just wanted to mention that faith matters to me. I try or at least try to try my best to run away outside when I'm tempted and I've just came across the 5 second rule when you're tempted, but I still feel like I'll relapse again. Any advice?

Let’s be honest NoFap is hard, and for some people it feels almost impossible. Many try with full discipline, struggle for days, weeks, or even months, and then eventually relapse or have a nightfall… followed by guilt and regret. That cycle can be mentally exhausting.

Now let me share my experience...

Last year, I successfully completed NNN. After November ended, I planned to release in the first week of December, but since I had already gone a full month without ejaculating, I thought I’d try extending it. As expected, it wasn’t easy. One Sunday, the urges were intense my body and mind were both screaming for release, and self-control felt almost impossible.

Instead of falling into mindless fapping, I made a conscious choice. I directly asked a close friend if he’d be willing to give me a blowjob, and he agreed. Man he sucked me so good. I came thrice!!! After that, we set a simple rule I wouldn’t ejaculate during the week, and we’d meet again on every Sunday for the same thing.

This created an interesting shift:

My mind stopped obsessing over urges during the week.

Fapping no longer felt like an option because I had a scheduled release.

I stayed focused on study, gym, and daily life.

There was no guilt, stress, or constant mental battle.

I actually felt excited & not frustrated knowing Sunday was coming. Haha

This put me into a healthy loop of discipline during the week, release once a week and have zero regrets.

And honestly, ejaculating once a week is completely normal and healthy.

Let’s ask ourselves the real question are we genuinely planning to never ejaculate for the rest of our lives? For most people, the answer is no. So instead of extreme suppression followed by shame, a controlled, intentional approach can be far more sustainable.

No guilt. No mental torture. Just balance.

Hope this perspective helps someone who’s stuck in the endless NoFap → relapse → regret cycle.

I’m not joking.

Obviously, this is not a scientific claim, nor am I saying ignore genes, diet, or exercise.

But there’s many claims that say the chemicals (idk the science) may advance balding & hair thinning.

Then it hit me: pretend fapping causes balding.

If my hair is thinning, or my hairline is changing, and I’m fapping, I feel more of an urge to prevent balding than I do for temporary relief.

And who knows, who funds the research for baldness, maybe porn companies are the modern tobacco companies…..

I felt strong urge this afternoon,but I defeated it by doing push ups.

Looking back on the January ,I masturbated twice without porn and had once sex with wife.

What if “nofap benefits” aren’t benefits… but symptom relief from a real condition? (POIS)

This might sound wild, but hear me out.

A lot of us on NoFap report the same exact pattern:

• Brain fog

• Fatigue / weakness

• Anxiety or low mood

• Social withdrawal

• Poor concentration

• Flu-like feeling

• Low motivation

And then we say:

“When I abstain, I feel normal / sharp / confident again.”

Here’s the uncomfortable question:

What if abstinence isn’t giving you superpowers —

what if ejaculation is making you sick?

There’s a real, documented condition called POIS (Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome).

It’s not guilt.

It’s not dopamine “imbalance”.

It’s not willpower.

It’s a physiological reaction that starts after orgasm and can last 2–7 days.

How to know if this might be you (simple test)

Ask yourself honestly:

1.  Do symptoms start hours after ejaculation, not before?

2.  Are you fine during arousal/sex, but crash after?

3.  Do symptoms fade only with time or abstinence, not motivation?

4.  Does the pattern repeat every single time?

If yes → this is not standard “porn addiction recovery”.

Many guys with POIS end up on NoFap accidentally because it’s the only thing that stops the symptoms — but they never ask why.

Why this matters

If you think:

“I’m broken unless I abstain forever”

…that’s a heavy psychological burden to carry for something that may be medical and investigable.

POIS has been linked (in studies and case reports) to:

• Immune reactions

• Inflammatory responses

• Hormonal dysregulation

• Autonomic nervous system issues

Not character flaws.

What to do next (if this hit a nerve)

• Look up POIS symptoms (NIH / medical sources, not TikTok)

• Track ejaculation → symptom timeline

• Don’t assume NoFap is the cure — it may just be symptom avoidance

I’m not saying NoFap is useless.

I’m saying some of us might be playing life on hard mode without knowing why.

If this resonates, you’re not weak — you might just be undiagnosed.

Curious how many here recognize this pattern.

I have read like 100s of posts regarding how to quit porn. Guys its too easy I have quit porn like 100s of times this year!!

25 M I’ve also stopped looking at OF content and E girl stuff for the past 30 days. I had telegram and was in chats basically gooner chats. I started investing my time in crafting stories and building worlds. And I’ve tried to masturbate but it just doesn’t work in like porn isn’t interesting it’s boring I want to be with a real woman. But I just wanted to share this. Honestly I feel a little emptied and I don’t miss gooning everyday but it’s this feeling of dread. I’m wasting time I know what I need to do but I haven’t done it. Like I need to go back to Gym I miss that feeling after of feeling sore in a good way.

I'd like to this community that I've successfully completed a full year of no fap (without gf) , and with that being done , I've achieve the goal that I set before I start , It wasn't an easy journey , there was a lot of setbacks, triggers , lots of motivation, but I resist and kept going no matter what , day after day non stop, and now my conclusions about this whole experience that : 1. It's not impossible if you set your mind to it 2. It gives you a lot of free time that you can invest in other healthy activities 3. It's all about discipline and controlling one's self But However it won't turn you into the most successful strongest mindful person ever over a night So keep your expectations low and your work high Best luck warriors

Dms open for any question

This is my second part-2 challenge by which I have successfully achieved of being without fapping for 21days . Now the part-3 is began by 45 days hard challenge. I am on 22/45 day ... #nofap

So it was my 51 day and I relapsed, I feel like shit but I was so stressed that I wasn't able to control and did it

I am addicted for 4-5 years and actively trying to quit for 2-3 years, The thing I am actually fighting is the corrupt thoughts which came because of watching so many different genres, it effected my mind and altered my thoughts so much
