Sign up for "Don't Touch Your Member November 2015" here. This month we have a survey for SCIENCE!

You can have sex without orgasm. I did so and I recommend it. It gives you a lot of new sensations and control over your body.

 

I'm in with already 14 days of freedom mode ("hard mode").
But for myself, I call this month "focus-on-your-projects-month" or "Be-productive-and-forward-thinking-month"

YES. No porn, no masturbation, no orgasm. But I call it "freedom mode".

I'm not planning to masturbate ever again. And I'm planning to have an orgasm only for true romantic sex and when it is allowed that a child is being created. BTW, I still have sex in a relationship, but without orgasm.

I want to note that I'm 43 and I am looking back on much experience with relationships, partnership and sex. So what I do here feels natural for me and my age. It is not "hard", it's just "new". But everyboy needs to make experiences himself. For a 20-year-old one, he needs to make experiences himself and I would not dare to recommend him to do like I do now.

I have a lot of other projects in my life, which I want to pursuit. This is my main goal.
However, in the past, I often felt doubts and fears, so I hesitated and procrastinated, and the PMO addiction was an expression of these hesitaton. In fact, I still used my energy, but I burnt it uselessly. So my main goal is to overcome these fears and doubts and to "just go into action".

I have often experienced that life is much better and much more meaningful and fulfilled without PMO. That's why I am doing this.

 

It has been more than a week I took the nofap challenge. This month I will add 30 cold showers (1 per day) to my challenge. It feels good rest of the day if I start with cold shower.

 

*Well, I decided to do hard mode for one month or more
*yea. For now one month.(According to SMART goals)
*Well, to be a better version of myself in all the aspects. Like all the aspects that I'm upto.
*well
This addiction ruins my life at many points.Like serious at many points of my life. So, decided to put a kind of an end to it. Let's all be the best human beings.
Take care.

 

Have done the survey. Can I ask that the results are shared here somewhere when they come out? Thanks.

I'm on day 12 and very happy to commit to a no-touch November.

Good luck everyone. You know it's the right choice!

 

I am in. I don't watch P, no MO. I don't have any sexual partner at all, so I guess will go "hard mode", but will not restrain from having sex in case of such opportunity. Restraining from sex with escort girls.

 

Definitly subscribing to the challenge
it's all about rewiring the brain
determination and discipline guys !

 

I'm in

 

Let's do this, on to the next month!
Great survey, looking forward to seeing the results.

 

I was going to start on November. But I decided to start on October 24 instead

 

I'm in, and will complete the survey now!

It's hardmode for me, I am already 30 days in, and will be continuing with hardmode for a further 60. After 60 days I will be returning to "Wife Mode", which for me means no PMO but I am allowed to orgasm with my partner.

When I started my goals were to have a better sex life, but increasingly I've realised that giving up PMO has allowed me to lead a better life all round. So now my goal is, simply, to lead a better life.

Why am I doing this? Because I've realised that I'm addicted, and I've realised there are many bad effects that PMO has had on my life. One of the worst was that it caused my ex-fiance to leave me. If I don't stop, I risk ruining my life completely.

 

For Science. No touching whatsoever for me.

 

Sign me up!

 

I'm in, 30 days of hard mode starts now and I'll go even further after that.
I'm doing it to simply be the best person I can be
I'm ready

 

• Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is called "hard mode". Abstaining from P and M, completely. Also, no O except with a partner, if that should come about (see 'goals' below )

• How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting? I am in Day 92 of my current streak having just achieved (finally) my initial goal of 90 days (see 'MY PMO & MO SPREADSHEET' link below). Therefore, I am extending my counter goal another 30 days. I plan to continue to extend my counter goal, but let's focus on getting through November one day at a time!

• What are your goals? My goal is to be able to function in an intimate relationship as a complete male human being, as complete as I can become. This means emotionally as well as physically, but certainly it was the physical problems that brought me here to NoFap initially (see next question)

• Why are you doing this? Last fall, almost one year ago exactly, I suffered an episode of ED that shook me to the core and alerted me to the fact that I had some kind of serious problem. It took me about two months of floundering about, confused and scared, before I found Gary Wilson's "The Great Porn Experiment" lecture video on YouTube and my whole life was turned upside-down. I began to work at quitting PMO and about a month later I found my way into this forum and joined. I'm now doing this because: a) it is saving my life and has given me a new lease on life, b) it has changed me, I'm recovering, getting better everyday, and I want more of it, and c) I feel a deep sense of gratitude and I want to give back. I want to help others who show up here to get what I have been getting.

 

I'm in!

 

I will be doing this challenge in hardmode, and will not be allowing myself any kind of sexual outlet whatsoever.

I hopefully plan to reach the 90-day goal of the reboot, but the first step is this month of November, the first 30-days.

My goals are simple, but easier said than accomplished. And that is to reverse the damage that pornography and online sexual endeavors has done to me, physically, emotionally and mentally, and free myself from the shackles and bonds of pornography addiction.

As for why I'm doing this... I don't know, the reasons are all mixing together now, I can't tell the difference anymore. I just want to be lucid, and live my life with a clear sense of what's wrong and what's right and what's going on, not like some foggy dream where all I think about is my next release.

 

I'm in!

 

Trying again this month. Married mode. I love participating in research so maybe this will help out!

 

This is the time for new committments. 30 days sound like a very long way and I need to know that I am not alone.

Here is my goal as of now: I will not watch porn and I will not touch myself for the next 30 days. Also, I will do 5 minutes of meditation and write in my paper journal every day so I can have better control on my arousal.

See you next month.
