After my engineering entrance exams session 1 results came out I saw how good I had fared(in spite of excessive usage of ■■■■ and masturbating). I realised that if I stop PMO how much better I can achieve in the next session. That is what inspired me. And its been 60 days since the results. The next session is tomorrow. Let’s see.

When my pp hurt so much and still my brain said we have to do one more :skull:
Now at this point it wasn’t pleasure it was an addiction. And also a good friend told me about NF.

There is no Return on Investment. The time I spent on PMO would’ve proved to be much more fruitful doing other activities, learning a new skill, socialising etc.

Moreover, I couldn’t resist even if I made a conscious decision to stop. The most I could go without PMO was 8 days, and that’s if I strained every sinew. That made me realise that I was addicted. Then there was the dark side of morphing sexual tastes, escalation to more deviant and perverse forms of Po®nography, difficulty staying hard with girlfriend unless she performed acts she wasn’t comfortable with (aka PIED).
When I did PMO, I usually had multiple tabs open, constantly switching between them and skimming through the videos to find just the right moment to orgasm to. This would go on for several hours. Sometimes I would stay up late until 4 am doing this even if I had lectures or a test the next day. I stopped caring.

I could go on about all the harm PMO has caused me but I’m 36 days clean (my longest ever) and I’ve got work to do :sunglasses:. Never gonna fall back into that abyss.

What made me start was probably when i was about 20 i realized i was fapping to content i wasn’t even attracted to when i wasn’t on ■■■■ (I know understand how the brain works and needs harder content to reach dopamine,excitement levels). I had been doing this for a few years before i even realized how sick minded and addicted i was

I’m glad you got out of that hole :+1: and I definitely understand the part about not realizing how sick it was.
Pmo definitely changes people mindset on stuff without them even knowing. It did the same thing to me

I know right , its like i become a totally different person as soon as i start watching â– â– â– â– . The only thing that comes right after is a massive wave of guilt,shame and disgust for hours or even days.But still can seem to shake it.Pmo is fucked

Yeh bro before I was constantly watching ■■■■ before I found rewire. And their was times when I just randomly kinda woke up from my daze and I realized how f*cked the whole industry is. It’s just feels like a spiral of neverending depression and insanity and not being able to escape.like I’ve tried so hard and I’m just barely getting out of the hole I dug myself. So it’s possible but it’s hard

I wasn’t aware about my addiction before. I was fapping consistantly. And even when I searched for it “Is masturbation healthy” online, it says it’s healthy and it has many benefits!

But one day, I said to myself: “But why am I feeling this guilt after each relapse?”
It was then the first time I had a negative view towards my old so called friend. It was this idea that came to my mind:
I wrote online “Why masturbation is bad”
And that was the question that opened the doors of Nofap.

I came to know about Nofap one year ago. I discovered many things about my addiction (I even felt motivated to write a book about it :joy: but it wasn’t that serious tho)
So came to know about this forum and joined here in last year’s June.

I came to know many kind people here who welcomed me and motivated me to start, the first post I read here was if I still remember correctly @The_integrous_one’s diary. It brought so much positivity to myself and let me feel comfortable in this forum that I too can share my feelings and story as I am now.

I really feel greatful for this community and everyone in it. Without it, I will never know where I will be now.

I want to slap anyone who agrees with this

This community has already saved me twice in 6 days from relapsing. Ive got it bookmarked right in front of my eyes so i can’t miss it and just ended up clicking on it. Coming on here writing and discussing topics that i have dealt with over these rough years is definitely a joy and blessing,Wish i found this sooner

I remember being a chronic fapper in 2020 after covid lockdown started . Before that I fapped occasionally , not as an addiction . But 2020 changed things a lot , for 1 year I did PMO daily and didn’t realize how it was affecting me . Also , I was addicted to prone masturbation , making addiction even worse . It was in december 2020 , I started to face severe effects , my mind and body were fucked and somewhere I felt that it was happening because of PMO but was not aware enough . I googled about this and found out it was healthy :skull::japanese_goblin: so I skipped knowing more , after 2 months things were getting worse so I again tried to research and saw one single post in reddit from r/nofap . I got to know about the term Nofap . I explored more about it and downloaded an app called STOP M , its dead now tho . Earlier , it used to have a great community and I got all information from them , joined a tg group with very supportive people . I got egoistic after 30 days thinking its over (I failed badly) . Made 150 days after that but got down a year later . Made a new tg group where Joosh was a part and he recommened me Rewire Companion . Joined this community , made another tg group , did 285 days before relapsing on 14th Jan this year . After that there have veen many relapses but writing this to make myself know that I’ve come farr.
3rd year of nofap
Day 3 today

I just found out about nofap a couple months ago so I’m still pretty new to it but it’s definitely a hard and long road so it’s nice to see people like you who have stuck with it. Also congratulations on 3 years :tada::tada::tada:
