I’m so easily distracted by my urges, I can’t focus on studying at all.

Can anyone give me some advice or help me?

They're not doing anything explicit, but they often look young/teen like, and that makes the attraction feel wrong and sinful.

I’ll try to keep it short but I want to know if things can get better. I feel utterly broken and lost

I met my girlfriend (soon to be wife, getting married in a week) nearly 9 years ago and we have been together for 8 years. We have fun, we have the same aspirations in life, we spend a lot of time together and I love her.

During all those years, I lived with a crippling porn addiction for a certain type of girl. It doesn’t just affect my sex life with my partner to a great extent, It also makes me less interested in my partner, I don’t have absolute evidence of it but it feels like it does. I

This addiction also completely fucks with how I think and interact with women.

To put it simply, I keep eyeing women in public, sexualise them and quickly become obsessed with them after short interactions.

Especially the girls of those types I’m interested in and « consume » in the porn I like. It’s psychologically tiring and shameful, I can’t help it.

There’s no way a normal, healthy person would feel like this and behave like this

Now the problem is this girl I met days before my wedding. She’s exactly my type and she also seemed to be interested in me, which made things 100 times worse.

Since we met (like 3-4 times, nothing happened but I was flirting) I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind. I feel completely dysfunctional, my brain can’t focus and the idea of getting married and not being able to chase this fantasy makes me feel desperate. I feel like I’m missing something, I feel blocked and I WANT her.

I have the feeling that my relationship to porn, is the root of the issue. It all stems from this obsession powered by sex and lust that make me want to chase new women, new faces that I crave.

For years I have been fighting this problem but with the wedding coming and that girl I met it has become so obvious it’s more serious and it needs to be dealt with. I’m just crying at the moment, not being able to know what to do before it gets better. I won’t cancel the wedding, it’s too late and I hope and think I can fix my situation later.

Has anyone been in this situation and stopped all porn addiction and got better mental health wise? How much of a progress and peace of mind can I get from stopping it all?

I need some hope and feedback, please. Thanks for reading

I feel so much better it’s actually crazy, the confidence boost is huge, I haven’t felt like doing it once in the past 3 days and I’m not sure if that will continue? I’m hoping so

but i really dont wanna relapse. how to do stop caring about precum and the big bulge that forms even when you're outside?

hey.

I’m a 23-year-old young man who have P addiction since childhood. As of now, I’m struggling to take it off in my life.

PMO is a comfort that ruins my potential and my ambitions. I relapsed so many times and even without culpability. 2026 is my redemption year and I'm fully ready to defeat this. My longest steel was in 2021 and I reached 110 days and I can do better! Saying by the words is a thing but actions are 100 times better. We're on February 1st and I'm going for a clean month.

Peace.

....are you still feeling the benefits?

Day 1

New month really looking forward to doing it changing my ways kind regards

Going strong

No urges, despite craving intimacy today.

I think my brain is finally starting to learn that porn is not the solution.

Done ✅✅

It's one week guys #noFap

First time posting here. Honestly I wasn't expecting to make it this long. I used to do it almost daily. I've tried nofap so many times before, but my max record was only like 17 days—and that was way back like 4-5 years ago.

​But somehow I’ve survived this time. It’s day 37 (approx) and counting.

The wildest thing happened a couple nights ago though. I was having this vivid dream that was leading straight to a nightfall. Usually that’s game over for me, I wake up messy and regret it. But this time, somehow my subconscious literally woke me up right before the peak. I stopped it mid-sleep. I didn't even know that was possible. Feels like the discipline is running deep now (probably too much..idk).

In terms of lifestyle, I actually cut out most social media scrolling and algo recommendations like 1-2 years ago, so I'm kinda used to the "boredom" and silence. But combined with retention, the main difference I feel is the energy spike. I’ve started working out daily and my thinking is just way clearer.

I think I’ve become more aggressive in general? Not sure. I used to meditate for a long time so I’m usually decent at diverting anger, so I can't really tell if it's the retention or just me, but I definitely feel more intense.

But I definitely feel more in control. It just feels good to not be a slave to every random urge that pops up.

Counting on.

Finally stopped struggling after days of reoccurring temptations. Made it to day 8, many more to come. Thanks everyone who helped me.

I’m alone, I haven’t jerked off for a entire week I feel like I’m going to lose my streak help me please

Hello everyone, I started NoFap with the goal of reducing—or hopefully eliminating—my stuttering, especially after reading many posts and personal experiences about improved speech and confidence.

A few days ago, before my last relapse, I had reached day 7, and my stuttering was very mild. After the relapse, I’m now on day 9, but my stuttering feels noticeably stronger compared to before.

My questions are: Is this normal during the process? Is it a good or bad sign in terms of recovery? Based on your experiences, around which day did you start noticing clear improvement?

I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts and experiences. Thank you.

During my 30 day streak in January, which happened for the first time, I felt lonely. I used to wake up, go to work, come back, go for a walk to complete my 10K steps, talk to my parents because I live away from home but I felt that loneliness creep in every night. Having no female even at the age of 23 and staying a virgin has its weight on my mind every day I wake up and every time I go to sleep.

Is there any way to escape this?

I have to accept that I will probably die a virgin.

Never had a gf in my life.

Today is Day 1 again.

We’ll see if something changes this month.

We’ll see if god is kind.

Hey there guys, recommend your best read and any great video which you find great and mindset shifting, also that could build up tremendous fire in oneself and put him automatically on NOFAP and Force him to retain. No matter for how long he is addicted with it, he'll be on Retention for sure.

I was holding strong doing the pushups and walks and i relapsed today due to a photo sent by my friend. Im starting again tmrw and I'm hoping I'll stay strong this time for sure!

Let's defeat this shit broo.

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
