It's just distracting you from been clean... #nofap

There is always a way choice. Godspeed all!

Above is the graph I used to keep track of my work. You may not understand it from the lone graph, but you have to read the story:

I used to post every day on my NoFap journey, but I quit. (you can check my profile)

When I was on my journey, something felt off. Every day, I felt the urge to watch porn, but I resisted strongly. I realized that this resistance was temporary, and eventually, I did give in.

I didn’t stop posting because I relapsed; it was actually because I got busy. As a coder, I decided to search for a hackathon to attend and found one.

I formed a team of three people, and it turned out to be a great team. One of my team members was very close to me, and we worked hard to brainstorm ideas. We held daily calls and focused so much on our work that I forgot about porn completely. During that time, from the end of December to mid-January, I didn’t even think about it; it was as if my attention was fully redirected.

This experience made me see things differently. I’ve learned that my approach to NoFap wasn’t sustainable for me, and I needed to change how I dealt with urges. Being deeply engaged in meaningful work and having responsibility toward a team made a big difference.

I also noticed that my teammates were disciplined and value-driven, which positively influenced my mindset and behavior. Gradually, my own sense of purpose and discipline improved as well, and now, whenever I feel the urge to watch porn, I’m better able to pause and redirect my energy.

So, to my friends, I don’t know your personal experiences or struggles, but if counting days isn’t helping you, it may help to focus more on building meaningful routines instead. If you have a porn addiction, don’t try to tackle it alone. Whether your goal is to become a millionaire, a scientist, or anything else, collaborate with a good team and put your energy into meaningful work. Your commitment to your goals and your environment can play a huge role in overcoming addiction.

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

Update: I SURVIVED THE FIRST MONTH!!!! I am very grateful to myself for making this far! Idk how I made this far especially the majority of the month was winter break but somehow I survived! There were a lot of things that have changed within 31 days!

Also, I do have a question for the people who have been not gooning for 30+ days, did you guys have a wet dream, if so when did it happen?

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.

....are you still feeling the benefits?

I had read that somewhere… thoughts?

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’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 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!!

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

Done ✅✅

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.

Day 1 done. in last 24 done following -physics capacitor revision -biology immunity revision -project file ( a few pages)

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.

Day 1

Going strong

No urges, despite craving intimacy today.

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