    hi.goal is no PMO for 120 days..will go about it in steps of 30.And why I am doing this?..Because I believe its time I stop Underperforming , dreaming and just wishing in my life..
    I believe this trait of mine has stopped me from doing the things I wanted in life ...Like learning a choreography by myself, or learning a new language, a sport..generally just about anything that requires continuous focus and dedication..

    Ugh. Restarting again. Pretty upset at myself for being so weak. Need to work on self discipline in a lot of areas. Going to finish out June, then go for 100% PMO-free July.

    Hey guys started here,I want to reach 4 days.
     
  6. Hi guys,

    I've just joined.
    I'll be a regular here. I'm on day 3 and intend to never masturbate again for the rest of my life or watch porn. This is not just a 90 day thing for me. It's for good, and I'll explain why.
    Porn and fapping was never really an addiction for me. It is just something I would rather do without. I just want my next relationship to be porn free, so that I can have the best sex ever and be more engaged sexually with my gf (whoever my next one will be). My last serious relationship was a several months ago. Last time I had sex with a woman was in February.

    I have done some lengthy streaks of NoFap before, even before I knew what it was. I once did it for about 5 months, it might have been more. I really can't remember. I was just doing it because I could literally see the benefits of it (even without knowing NoFap existed). That long streak was back in 2009. Since then I relapsed and didn't care for abstaining for a while. Then later just did more random shorter streaks of 7 days, or probably like 10 days at most, then kept relapsing, but this time I'm going all out. I'm done with Porn and masturbation forever. It will not benefit my life and where I want to go.

    I even notice the difference when I don't masturbate for 2 days. No joke. I'm just 10 times more confident in every aspect of my life, publicly speaking, talking with women, talking socially in general. I find myself just to be more clear in speaking, more to the point and more concise in general. You just tend to care less what people think about you. You're less self conscious. There are just my personal experiences.

    Walking down the street I just feel like I can do anything. I feel charged and the energy around my body flows so much better without masturbation. I literally feel more complete and whole as a man.
    We are the captains of our own soul, and we shouldn't let our own body dictate to us how we live. If you don't want to watch porn or masturbate, then make that decision. Your own body cannot rule you. Whip it into shape and tell it NO. We are the masters of our own fate. It's all about choices. Never forget that.

    That's just a bit of encouragement for those who may be struggling or are thinking about relapsing, because, it does start with a thought. Don't think of this whole thing as a game of resistance. It's just about choices. What am I going to do today? I'm not going to masturbate or watch porn. Why? Because I don't want to, and I recognise that I am captain of my own body, and everyday I dictate to my own self how my body functions and how I want to live. This is exactly why NoFap helps us all to become more centered and more focused as men in general. It even helps with decision making and being a no bullshit kind of person, for the better of course. Not taking bullshit from people or allowing them to walk all over you. It makes you better in every aspect of your life, because it helps your energy to flow smoothly.
    All energy is indeed sexual, and that is what I have learned through my previous streaks. You start to feel more aligned as a human being and an individual. I no longer need half as much sleep when not masturbating, because I am so physically charged full of energy and I'm not lazy (like I used to be). I have more ideas for making money and I am proactive every minute of the day.

    Most of you know all of these things already, but I'm only just sharing my personal experience, as I know that some people feel different things, and some, nothing at all. But I am here to say today that porn and masturbation really can screw things up and your perception of life and can block you from being a better version of yourself. It really isn't a placebo effect as some like to call it.

    Anyway, enough of my blabbering. I genuinely wish all of you the best in your journeys.
    Decide what YOU want to do in life, make it happen and do the damn thing. YOU are in control.

    The nofap subreddit can be a dangerous place. A troll put up a whole set of porn gifs to trick people.

    I'm in. I've been going strong for about 11 days now, and I'm trying to do a 90 day challenge. Without knowing it, the 90 days ends exactly on my birthday. I feel like this has got to be a sign, I've got the universe behind me on this one...
     
  10. Good stuff. I'm a strong believer that every single thing happens for a reason. The fact that it ends on your birthday is surely no coincidence. Why not go beyond 90 days?

    Enjoy the journey.

    I'm out. I rebooted.:(
     
  12. Worry not.

    Get back up and dust yourself off.

    Remember that you are the one who is in control of your own body. Everyday, map out in your mind the kind of life that you want to live. Everyday, you have to say to yourself that I will not PMO today. Why are you not going to PMO? Simply because you said so. Don't let your own body boss you about. You ARE the captain of your own soul. You map out your own fate everyday. It's up to you what you do. If you don't want to PMO, if you feel that your life will be better without it, then you have to be the one to say NO to your body.

    Going to finish out the month of june and then hit July with no relapses. It's so easy to fall into old patterns so I need to shake things up a bit. Won't be easy but will definitely be worth it.

    I rebooted too.. i'm trying to quit this for 1.5 years and preventing an urge won't help me.. also it's not an option for me to throw away the pc because i have nothing to do and it's really boring.

    i'm trying to quit for 1.5 years.. i think i need a new strategy.. i'll try not to watch it gradually, watch it once a week for sometime, then go to 2 weeks.. i think it won't work and i'm so impatient.. i can't freaking wait so much time jiz....... i want to act fast and quit it once and for all but i can not do it! and i really don't want this shit because it will be a long process if i watch once a week and then move to once in 2 weeks.. i want to quit it fast but i can't do it...... wtf??

    i tried k9 web protection.. easy to bypass.. i tried other and it didn't help...... nothing helped me!! oh my god. i have freakin social problems and i need to quit this porn and i can't..

    can somebody just lock me somewhere or someone help me in real life omg -.- i need real life help person to person i think.... but i can't find it in my city for sure.. my city contains only 20,000 people i think and really.. really go to a freakin psychologist and what would i tell him? i'm porn addict, i can't quit, can you help me... and i'm socially awkward all the time and i'm probably going to make the psychologist nervous because of my awkwardness... jesus.. and i won't know what to say or i'll say some awkward question

  16. Keep going. Don't give up.

    You can be the man that you desire to be. It's all about choices. Remember that you are the one who is in control of your body. It doesn't control you.

    I'm a 17-year-old guy who has struggled with masturbation for the past four years, and I have gotten extremely addicted to it, to the point where I am unable to stop myself even for a day. Thus, I am declaring today a fresh start; the start of my new life without masturbation.

    My reasons for embarking on this journey are many
    -I am a slave to masturbation and am completely addicted. I need to overcome this addiction and break out of it
    -As a Christian, masturbation distances me from God and makes me unable to pursue a relationship with him. I feel hypocritical whenever I masturbate and seek his forgiveness, and I want to be able to worship him freely and wholeheartedly
    -To end the conflict between desiring physical pleasure and spiritual pleasure --> I cannot have both, and the only way to be content is to end my masturbation addiction, for masturbating now only prolongs the problem
    -My emotional well-being is harmed, as I hate myself for masturbating and often feel depressed after masturbating. Masturbating also ruins whatever positive mood or motivation I was having
    -My productivity takes a huge dip, and for a few hours after masturbating I am unable to get anything meaningful done. I can't enjoy anything after masturbating, and tend to spend those hours wasting time on the internet
    -I am occasionally unable to build healthy relationships with girls, as I find myself sexually objectifying them and feeling dirty for doing so after that

    Sub-Goals
    -Exercise on a daily basis
    -Be more productive regarding my work (stop procrastinating)
    -Waste less time screwing around on the internet
    -Read more (books, newspapers etc.)
    -Have healthier relationships and stop sexually objectifying women

    Methods
    -I will not masturbate or even edge
    -Follow this course http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/courses/way-of-purity/ on a daily basis
    -Whenever I start having sexual desires or fantasies, I will stop myself and clear my head. I will remind myself that they are people, not objects of sexual desire, and think of having a meaningful relationship with them instead
    -I will wake up 15 minutes earlier than usual to read my Bible every morning. Should I wake up late and need to go out, I'll go to a quiet place as soon as I can and read it before I start my day
    -Before I get home, I will spend five minutes sitting downstairs praying and focusing myself on God
    -At 8pm every night, I will stop what I am doing and spend a few minutes praying
    -I have logged off of my old Facebook account and will only access it when absolutely necessary. I have also uninstalled the Facebook and Instagram app from my phone
    -Whenever I feel tempted to masturbate, I will listen to Christian music

    During this time, I will not masturbate or edge. No masturbation or even edging (Hard Mode)

    While I intend this to be permanent, I am setting a few 'checkpoints' for myself to reach along the way.
    -Two weeks
    -Three weeks
    -Month
    -Two Months
    -Three Months
    -Six Months
