    I have a live - in boyfriend whom i love alot. He is doing nofap for quite some time now around 8 months as he said.

    I dont have a problem with that infact I like it but the problem is he refuses to engage in alot of sex as he says he needs to control himself , so we have sex like once every two three days but i want it everyday or maybe multiple times in a day.

    Nofap is about no porn no masturbation no orgasm so why abstain from sex or orgasm with your girlfriend ?
    Help me guys-

    You should follow his example. Take the Nofap challenge, check out the women's sub-forum, and get your libido under control!:)

    I searched all groups and searched all nofap websites including yourbrainonborn and reddit and I could find nowhere it is written how much sex to have if you are living together or married.
    I don't have any problem in controlling my urges but why to control when two people love each other?

    Try to understand him: every time you two have sex, he needs to regenerate himself from it to make himself abstrained from PM stuff and to make it more pleasant for you. That's all because of the hormones. You may say like "he hadn't this problem before", but I think he had. If you had sex more than one time in a day and he masturbated too, he was in real trouble.
    Or you could just make shame of him or leave him. Whatever.

    I get that, but nofap is about no porn, no masturbation no orgasm but not sex,
    you can have sex as much as you want with the one the woman you love or is there a rule for doing sex on alternate days?

    I think that NoFap has no strict rules at all. It's just the place where people're trying to help eachother. He decided to do this. And I think that was his sacrifice to make your relations clearer, cause', you can believe it or not, he suffers from not having sex with you too. And also I think that he could realise that that load of sexual activity (you and PM) will bring him sexual disorders like the symptoms of "overworking".
    Honestly, you should talk to him, as I think. It would be hard and maybe he won't say the actual reason but still it would be better.

    Yeah, nofap really isn't that into imposing rules. Some people will have sex all of the time while on nofap, others won't have any sex at all. It is a personal decision that each of us make, often with the advice of other people on here. If he has determined that to be mentally or physically healthy he must abstain from sex on certain days, than my advice would be to respect that. I know it isn't easy, (you're talking to a bunch of people with sex related addictions here) but he deserves to not be pressured for sex.

    NoFap's program relies on individuals to make their own goals. Some choose only to abstain from porn and masturbation (PM), others from all 3 (PMO). For those with severe addiction symptoms, many opt for the full PMO course. Having sex still causes dopamine surges which can affect recovery.

    That being said, it's understood that we don't live in perfect conditions. Real life happens. Also, there is nothing concrete requiring you to share in his suffering as he goes through this change. If the two of you intend on staying together, you should come to a mutually agreed upon frequency.

    On a side note, if you want sex routinely more often, you may want to discuss ways to fill each other's needs while not objectifying each other. He may simply not want to have sex every day.

    I think you're right, its his personal decision regarding his sexuality and I should respect that. :)

    Hi Natalie, this is definitely an issue. Mismatching libidos are a problem. My advice to you is you read all about 'Karezza'. This would help prevent him from orgasm but also give you the intimacy you are looking for. He is also allowed to be intimate with you in ways that he doesn't have to get off. My advice is to talk to him about your needs and come to an arrangement that works for both of you.

    Yea I understood your point of view, its about his own morals and principles and he told me about his PIED , but right now he doesnt have any erectile dysfunction of any kind. He is amazing in bed and we have amazing sex.

    But still, I respect his decision but still you know it doesnt feel good when im in the mood and he denies me of sex, i feel rejected , i love him alot.

    Thanks, surely I will tell him about that - He already knows about it and he does karezza too sometimes but not always.
    Surely I will tell him, i love him alot but the problem is i want to make love to him everyday and then he denies me sex , it makes me feel rejected and not lovable.

    Admittedly, it isn't fair to the partner who doesn't have the problem. My sympathy goes out to you. I hope everything works out.

    Yeh it's tough for you because he's the one with the problem but at the same time I think it will be very rare to find a guy without this problem, we all grew up with porn and are therefore damaged. Most men don't know this yet. Maybe find other ways to build intimacy together e.g. Massages, baths etc.

    He is right. Even after sex there is refractory period so we cant cum twice easily. This will kill me .

    Yeah that sucks and I do not think he should just do NoFap while still having sex. It is just not right towards you to be honest.

    You should tell him about your feelings and explain to him that having sex with you is something completely different than masturbation or porn. Otherwise he will loose you at some point since it can't go on forever.

    Why on earth do you need to do it three times a day?? Careful, if you pressure him to 'perform' all the time, you might lose him. Better to get your own libido under control, and really look forward to the fun times when they come around. Do it for him, do it for yourself, and do it for your relationship. Good luck~~~~~

    Many NoFappers consider sex a no-no. Some, differ in opinion, often precisely because they want to separate sex in a healthy relationship from unhealthy PMO by themselves.While all agree that a good relationship is the goal, the two (porn-addiction and healthy sex) cannot be fully separated, one tends to lead to the other. As one is experiencing the one, the other script plays out. Your BF seems to love you so much that he wants to compromise. Hard mode would be better for him, but I think he values the relationship too much to risk losing it. On the other hand, he doesn't want to pollute it with PMO. He wants to clean up his life and keep the relationship with you. Don't take his balancing act for lack of love and start demanding more sex/"proof." Don't pretend the two can be fully separated in his mind. You do have a _choice_ to face it together and help him/you through it. A support group for partners of porn addicts might be good for you. I love that you're searching for answers, though! SUCCESS to both of you!
