Nofap/noporn thread Remember to shift + left click any trigger threads as soon as you see them in the catalog.
I probably won't get any responses on this because none of my threads do, but I'm giving an update on my nofap/noporn journey. I'm just over 1 day. Yesterday was the turning point for me. I seriously sat down and talked to myself about my problems out loud and what I'm going to do to fix them, my goals in life, how to reach them, etc. This felt different from all the other times I told myself I would change my ways. Something sort of clicked. I have a long way to go before I can really be proud though.
My best record was about a week. At this time I was flirting with a girl I worked with and I ended up asking her to go on a date. Eventually we started having a real relationship. Met her parents and everything. We tried to have sex about three times. Each time I would get hard, but it would go away within 30 seconds before I could even do anything. This hurt so much because I was inches away from losing my virginity and I felt like it would have helped me in a lot of ways. Certainly not the answer to all my issues, but it would have helped nonetheless.
We broke up recently because shes extremely busy with school and wants to focus on that, but I feel like I never gained her respect as a man because I couldn't sexually please her as expected of me. I told myself that because of the breakup I wouldn't jack off anymore. That I would need to earn it with a real woman. This never worked and my masturbation habits became even worse. I felt like I was washing away, like piss in the rain. I could go on but I don't really want to. Feel free to share your journeys, tips, info on the subject, etc.
It also helps to look in the mirror after a nice shower and shave where you don't actually look like shit and say positive things to yourself such as "you've got this" or "I know you can do this, you have it within yourself". It really feels good saying those things to yourself if you don't hear it from elsewhere.

when trying to improve your life it is possible to take on too much too soon. This is the reason new year’s resolutioners quit after a week of getting up at 5am for a cold shower before gym, it’s just too much for them.
Be as honest as you can with yourself and make promises, rules and goals for yourself that you can achieve, and add them one at a time as the old ones become easy. I was really bad at keeping my place clean so I started to dedicate as little as 30seconds at the start of each day to clean my apartment, over time I increased that time spent cleaning until I could easily clean the whole place every morning.
That makes a lot of sense. I suppose I never thought about it like that. I'm black and white so everything is all or nothing with me.

>tfw my phone was broken for 2 weeks, had to use an old flip phone >nofap when I wasn't even trying to those 2 weeks was a breeze >got my smartphone back and right away fell back into fapping should I just get rid of it brehs?
Sebastian Wright
No, smartphones may have their disadvantages, but the pros outweigh the cons. Their versatile tools in this day and age and you can't go without one now. Sometimes it's good to go the opposite way, but sometimes you just need to know when to go with the flow.
Julian Phillips
I have been sober for about 12 days and no fapped for about 6
I feel breddy gud, but still nothing magical. dick feels way more sensitive though and when start getting a boner it seems like it's more 'full' and stronger

you absolutely can go without a smartphone, which app do you think is essential?

calendar and notes are two important apps for me, also email

>get to 6 days nofap >download grindr and start talking to traps >get mentally ill in the head FTM girls to send me nudes every single time why does nofap make me such a degenerate
Josiah Reyes
Congratulations man. Willpower is the only way and you have to reach within yourself to gain the strength necessary to own your life. I'm taking nofap with a realistic approach. I won't gain superpowers because of it, but I know that through nofap my time wasting will be mitigated drastically. I'll have to still make the effort to talk to people out of my comfort zone. I'm already pretty good and I was really happy today and cracking jokes with everyone I worked with. I also read some studies on testosterone levels leveling out after about a week and how it helps with muscle building. I will say that noporn on the other hand will do me the best wonders.
Dylan Foster
I should have rephrased. You CAN go without a smartphone, but should you is the question. I think there are a lot of advantages to having one that makes life a hell of a lot easier than carrying a pen and paper around all day or waiting to do something until you get home to a computer. You're lucky if you have passable traps on twitter. Most of the guys I used to find on there consisted of fatasses, ugly fucks and masculine crossdressers. There would be a good trap here and there but they were always vapid cunts involved in recent pop culture.
Julian Jones
I've said this a few times before, but this documentary it definitely worth watching. the porn industry is fucking evil
Saw you posting in other threads about this. I think I'll give it a watch tonight. Thanks friend.
Jackson Ramirez
Absolutely. The goal is to cold turkey your brain from any stimuli that sexually excites you. It's alright if you get natural erections when thinking about something arousing or seeing girls in public. In fact those are signs that nofap is working.
Sebastian Hill
Didn't realize it was solely about the girls who star in porn. While it effects them, I really don't give a fuck about their problems. More guys are affected pornography than women I can say 100% without doubt.
Levi Flores
That film is a fucking joke >oh poor me he offered me money so I had to fuck I feel bad now tho ;_; Especially after half the tramps took the money to be on that documentary talking about how they were taken advantage of and then immediately started doing scenes again.
Parker Ramirez
Pretty much the only time I jerk it is before I shower. So for noporn all I need to do is get in the shower quickly. I think I can do it boys.
The easiest time to crack is when you have too much time on your hands and are sitting around at home alone. I'm getting a part time job soon and that'll fill my schedule up pretty heavily. I'll also be working out and studying so I'll be too exhausted at the end of the night to even want to.
Blake Hall
I feel that. I’m lucky enough to be in college and have four roommates, so the only time I’m confident enough that I’m alone is when I’m in the bathroom. Going home from breaks is gonna be the real test.
Andrew Nguyen
Damn that sucks man. I've been jerking it 3-4 times a day for years and even then I only need a day or two of nofap to easily get boners again and I'm late thirties. Maybe you need to change the way you jerk off in general or change your confidence level. Or maybe you simply don't have the libido to jerk off and have sex so you'll need to prep longer periods ahead of time.
Sebastian Morris
every industry is amoral and underhanded. you gotta quit porn for yourself not because these hoes got regrets.
Jackson Clark
Ok Jow Forums wtf I took a viagra an hour and half ago and nothing happened
Parker Hall
Tell people you know irl that you're doing nofap. Knowing friends would respect me less for not meeting a goal I set for myself definitely helped me go a month before.
Elijah Martinez
1.5 weeks into noporn and my brain is literally in depression mode. I don't even feel an urge to fap but I fap once every few days just to keep myself from relapsing to porn. It helps so I have no sexual urges but man the need for dopamine is killing me. I am so fucking depressed, I don't feel like lifting and even when force myself going to the gym at most I can do 50% weight, I get sad whenever I see any cute girl and even social interactions with my friends became boring because I literally stopped caring about what anyone has to say. I don't know if it's worth it, things weren't perfect when I was a self indulging porn addict but aside from this aspect I at least could sense some happiness but now I can't catch a break and my hatred to people and women in particular grows steadily with my depression and frustration.
Wyatt Wilson
i gave in today.
I'm ashamed, please pray for me and send good vibes brothers.
I want to change my ways.
Brayden Nelson
so you spend valuable time jerking off to cartoons drawn by other dudes. congratulations.

You will be in my thoughts brother. I know how you're feeling. You aren't alone in this. Nothing is pathetic about a man feeding positive thoughts to himself in aspiration to become better than his current self. What's pathetic is that you look down on people for trying to make a change. You're the type of person to take a picture of some weak guy in the gym and criticize him for going.
William Gray
>try to jerk off last night >get hard but lose my boner when I realise i'm fapping to someone else's sexual experience and that it's pretty gay >try again today >give it a few strokes, can barely hold a semi because porn grosses me out interesting also i've gone off meat recently and have only been eating fish, I wonder if this is related
Xavier Rogers
Reminder that this advice may work for some and not for others For me I find that positive habits reinforce each other and choosing to, for example, continue smoking weed while I'm doing no fap, basically guarantees that I'll end up failing Doing both I find each much easier
day 4 here, honestly no crazy urges yet. I get the house to myself for a week starting thursday so hopefully i'll be able to pull one or two tinder thots to hold me over.
Bentley Morgan
I'm a normal dude with normal work life and normal sex life. I get off a bit too easily, but healthy otherwise. I fap daily, enjoy it, and don't feel bad afterwards.
Do I really need to quit?
Wyatt King
i never watch porn, it's gross and seems painful (i definitely don't ever have sex). instead i look up pictures of women in skirts, sometimes with underwear showing, and pictures of women with underwear showing over jeans, or pictures of women just in underwear. then i look up stories of women being embarrassed by their underwear showing. sometimes i write stories where i pretend i'm a woman who was embarrassed by her underwear showing. is this healthy? i'm in my mid 30s.
Luke Perez
The depression is a phase of nofap. Every single time I start, after about 4 days I just get this absolutely broken loneliness, which translates into dick apathy. Then at around day 14 or so, the horniness and heightened aggression make their play. After a while longer, the aggression meters out into a somewhat more positive assertive attitude with latent aggression mixed in. But for me, it's the fucking horniness that distracts the crap out of me. At that stage, it really helps to be busy. The good thing, is that I feel like my acne subsides, and as another user pointed out, my dick definitely feels heavier and even more full if you will, same sensation in my sack as well. The real problem with nofap is that it gives me a hair trigger down there, like I feel like if my blanket rubs me the wrong way in the morning (nude sleeper) that I'll blast my sheets.
Liam Cook
That's weird. Same thing happened to me Day 11 of nofap and I'm more turned on by traps than girls. >never been gay in my life
Gabriel Ramirez
imagine thinking women will sleep with u for not touching ur pepe
Oliver Morgan
> had operation on balls cus they twisted from walking too fast in jeans & genetics > forced to not fap for like 3 months. There is no magical biological difference except maybe my cum being like gelatin since that can happen when you suddenly stop. I think maybe there is a mild mental difference in that you feel cleaner (atleast I did). But really the only reason not to is more of a moral one and people are BSing telling you of other benefits unless you are insane over porn. Really just hit the gym or something.
Evan Sullivan
Is masturbating once per week/two weeks fine?
Tyler Hill
Im on day 21 of nofap, noporn, no cum. Life feels a lot more real if that makes sense and i have noticeably more energy. Moods are more variable, like im laughing more but the general shittyness of my life is also weighing heavier on me. Being less numb and having more energy is having a motivating effect though and im making efforts to improve things for the first time in ages. My sleep has become kind of fucked, i feel like im getting barely any sleep, tossing and turning all night, but i dont feel fatigued during the day. Thats all i can think of right now.
Nolan Long
your grandpapy never got lost a day in his life
Andrew Thompson
I might be having sex tomorrow with a tinder girl and havent had any sort of ejaculation for 30 days. Should I fap now or tomorrow before the sex so I can last longer or should I just blow all that load on her?
Jesus, please let this child of yours learn strength from his failure so he may walk in your light. Amen
Justin Johnson
Get head for round 1 with her then fuck her after

Not that user but I'm a writer and I keep several books I read constantly on my phone, and I have a good number of important and sizeable manuscripts on my phone as well, which are saved on a cloud connected to my other devices. I see the smartphone as a small tool to use and you'd have to have your head really up your ass to deny that it isn't useful in this day and age.

Oh, what's the matter there lady? Feeling a little threatened? What are you saying? You envy cartoon characters for their depth of character, honesty, genuine beauty, and most of all purity? That must be tough.

a lot of addicts have this cognitive malfunction, and its a component of BPD, ADHD, psychotic depression, and bipolar disorder, all of which have significant correlation with addiction
nofap is an abstinence program for addicts, its literally just sex addicts anonymous. get real help for your addiction through moderation management or a program with literally any basis in science.
Justin Diaz
Im on day 1 When ever I'm busy i don't masturbate and watch porn, but as soon as I m free i get back into the loop of hell. Every time after 3 days I relapse. It's frustrating. It took me 1 yr to reach 1 week but fucked myself because college project was done and got nothing to do. It's hard to control your self when there nothing to do.
Day 30 here, decided to give it up for lent. What you described is quite similar to what’s happening to me, although people say it gets better after the thirty days mark.
I failed a few times so I got on board the idea of gradually removing it. Went 2 and a half days for the first time ever (off the back of 5x daily), and then relapsed today but managed to avoid porn. My plan is to bargain with myself to go to minimum 3 days (and then 4 if I break at that point, and then 5, and so on...), but hopefully at some point there'll be a day that arrives where I don't want to break my streak and cash in my free relapse, and then I've won. Wish me luck brahs.
>tip of foreskin red for months because I'm beating off too furiously >cock has developed a bend to the left because of my deathgrip >taste in porn has gone from vanilla to more kinky stuff >okay okay OKAY, I'll finally give no fap a try in april >relapse on day 3 to sissy hypno porn What the fuck? Do I need therapy???
herapy, therapy, everywhere a pee pee. no you don't need therapy.

You just need to stop jerking it so much.

Can't i jack off to cartoons AND talk to girls op?
Leo Kelly
did 3 weeks of nofap and fell back in the pit been jerking off for a couple of days but stopped since yesterday losing progress feels like a sickness a dark dreary malaise over my eyelids but i will make it my resolve will be iron
I don't understand how to even begin. I'll be browsing something and notice a nice pair of titty. The next thing I know I'm frothing from the mouth looking for a nice clip to get off to. It's just impossible to resist once the "seed" of fapping enters my mind. I wonder what I should do to limit myself.
Alexander Sanders
Nofap since December 13th, 2013. Masturbatory addiction was ruining my relationship, my sleep cycle, my work life, my social life. I quit cold turkey from years of every day, multiple times a day porn consumption+masturbation. I turned my attention and energy to lifting and bettering myself at my trade and hobbies.
Took two months to see how terrible that relationship was. In the ensuing weeks, on dates when the topic of sex would come up, I would find a way to slip that into the conversation when appropriate. About 80% at the time whatever Stacey I was talking to would either become visibly turned on, or at the very least give me something to the tune of 'I can respect that, most take a lot of willpower.'
Now I'm married with two kids, with a wife who makes it a point to gladly 'relieve pressure' literally whenever we can, a fulfilling career, and honestly, would never go back.
Can't promise you all results like these, but it'll be worth it.
Also, in that time went from 5'7" 130lbs skelly to 185lbs when shredded. Make it, brahs.

DAY THREE AND FEELING GOOD
Wyatt King
Fuck this shit, tried to quit for 4 years now. It never lasts long because blue balls are real, I feel testicles discomfort if I don't fap for too long. Decided to stick to 1 fap every two weeks
Jacob Jackson
What a moron. Comes in the thread with no education on the subject. The goal isn't to get laid. The goal is to better yourself in all aspects of life. Masturbation is a key time waster and distracts you from your goals. Only when you overcome this and truly begin to live your life will you be able to really attract girls.
Blake Hall
Godspeed to you user. I'll witness you in Valhalla one day.
And that's good. As long as it isn't to porn. Use your imagination.
Isaac Lopez
You're right, once the seeds in there's no stopping things. But the seed isn't the first part: things usually start to happen a few hours earlier: a dream, fantansy, remembering some porn, thinking about fucking someone. That shit stays in your subconcious, and that's what triggers you. The seed is just the starting gun; you're already prepeared to run the race.
Over time, you get better at noticing this subconcious build up. There's still nothing you can do if a seed hits, but you'll find they do less and less. Now, only 1/50 boob pics set me off, compared to 1/2 when I started.
James White
i feel you user. i went for weeks without porn and then in some beastly and lustful moment i broke the streak and ended up fapping to porn multiple times a day. im going back on track now however
I was so close to cumming today guys. I started jacking off a little but I knew I had to quit it ASAP. I need a distraction.
Juan Nelson
Listen to me, porn is fucking terrible for you but masturbation alone IS natural and has no detrimental effects IME. You do need to release sometimes, once a week is fine.
Samuel Jones
Do you ever masturbate? Or does your wife do you literally whenever you need it
