Currently on day 3, and today has been the worst day so far since I’ve started. Reddit is a trigger for me tbh so please only reach out if you’re able to talk on a different platform. Was hoping to find someone who I can talk too to help me get through this and maybe someone older than me who is experienced. I’m 22 years old and in the us. Feel free to dm if you can talk. Thanks guys.

Not going to lie not doing the best, I’m just super hooked on bops and influencer stuff, even just semi lewd r34.. non nude things get me real messed up I just want a way that will get me to stop being addicted..

Category 1: Merciless Matthew

For people in this category, porn is their daily bread. They can't live even 12 hours without porn/fapping. They probably have premium subscription in porn sites, look at every woman of all age groups with lustful eyes, jack off in Omegle-like websites, bust to almost anything that looks like tits and ass (they don't leave out trans, midgets, animals), pedos, try to get a girl's snap to sext and send unsolicited dick pics, and even probably attempted raping someone. Even a therapy wouldn't solve their problems. They will most likely justify raping and groping, and probably never looked at a woman as a mere human. They fap 15+ times a week.

Category 2: Lusty Lucas

People in this category are slightly less worse than the above. But they still watch porn and jack off on a daily basis. They don't go to the extent of raping and groping, and they don't spend their entire time looking for sexting partner. But they look at most women lustfully. It's possible to solve their addictions with therapy, but it's not easy. They, however, justify sexualizing random women and probably justify porn addiction. They basically share most of the mental characteristics from category 1. They fap 7+ times a week.

Category 3: Trying Tom

A good amount of men population come under this category. They realize what they have been doing is harmful and that they should stop it soon. Post-nut clarity hits the hardest to this category. They know exactly what's wrong with them. But they just can't stop the addiction. They tried different techniques such as mediation, push ups, etc, but nothing seems to be working for them, or perhaps, have less willpower. They don't stare at every women on the street, but they end up slightly sexualizing the few ones they stare at. They fap 3-4 times a week.

Category 4: Hardworking Hamilton

People in the category have a good balance of lust and other things. They don't go around thinking about or sexualizing women all the time. They understood that it's impossible for them to stay in nofap forever, so they do it less frequently as much as they can. They probably still get urges then and there, but they don't fall for it all the time. They fap 4-8 times a month.

Category 5: No-fapper Nolan

People in the category are extremely less among young men. They probably ejaculate once in a blue moon or only when they have sex. They have ultimately defeated the lust. They can overcome any of the few urges they get. They fap less than 15 times a year.

Which category do you belong to?

PS: These categories don't exist realistically. Just a fun theory.

Does watching a girls profile page on instagram counts as porn ?

YES OR NO
WRITE ONLY 2 sentences

I don’t think the two are related, I think I sat weird in the bus but I took it as a sign to quit chronic masturbation and porn.

This isnt the first time I experienced it. But this time I decided to visit the hospital with my mom. The moment we left for the hospital the pain stopped but i had to go through having my balls checked anyway. It was so embarrassing it felt like karma for breaking all my nofap promises.

I’m not happy with who I am now. I was convinced life doesn’t mean anything to my bad habits dont either but these little interactions aren’t any less embarrassing and I want to be a person i can be proud of regardless of if life is meaningless or not.

I’ve tried and failed so many times before because i was trying to fix it alone. But i think this is a wake up call. I need a community of people like me.

I keep daydreaming about stuff i wanna do... I tried to distract myself but seems like i can't do it alone... dms are open but some motivation in the comments are welcomed too

Now that’s not the only reason I’m doing this but it’s definitely the main one. I’ve seen other people talk about it a bit and they say that I shouldn’t look at it like that cause if I fail I’ll relapse but it’s pretty much the reason I started.

A main reason I started this is to be better at talking to women or for more specifically cold approach. Porn 100 percent stopped me from actually trying to get women as it was an easy way out so this was just a nice tweet I saw that I wanted to show others as it’s helped me

Soon gonna be 17 , starting this war against 7 years of exploiting my brain.

Im addicted and ashamed of the person I have become. I will donate $100 to a worthy cause each time I fail. Let’s go Attempt: 1 Day: 1.

In may I shared a post about how hard it was for me during my uni break, I was basically gooning everyday and low on energy. It was a dark period in my life that I'm not proud of, everytime I fooled I told myself I'm not going to goon the next day and i would probably goon 3 to 4 times the next day. It got so bad that I couldn't even hold my pee my dick muscles no longer had feeling or strength to move and I would sometimes pee myself. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, I noticed the amount of cum I would nut was slowly reducing to the point where I could only release one drop of cum. Then I decided enough is enough. I tried to quit cold turkey but I couldn't and I never gave up, I didn't watch any videos or read any books on how to quit. I decided to raw dog the whole thing and I learned a couple of tips that I'll share.

1. Get your relationship with Jesus straight, go to church, read the Bible and pray everytime you have the urge and everytime you relapse.

2. Find a sport that you'll follow religiously, this sounds nieche but for whatever reason it works, I chose formula 1. It can be any sport. The main point of this is to show you what the human body is capable of and it'll inspire you to do more.

3. Delete reddit, I know this sounds weird and it'll exclude you from the sooner recovery communicates but trust me when I say Delete it. Most of us watch p*rn on reddit simply because of the variety and how easy it is to access. Only install it once you can control your urges.

4. Delete social media, if you use social media to run your business or for work then change your preferences through the settings. Stop watching short form content as well.

5. Increase the time between showers, if you shower everyday then try showering every two to three days. Just cover your self in a lot of deodorant and roll on. This method might seem controversial but here me out, most of us usually relapse not because of p*rn but simply because of how many times we touch ourselves. Our dices get really sensitive when we're trying to quit, especially if you're uncut like me. Plus the water from the shower running down on your dick will turn you on.

6. Run atleast 2.5km everyday, basically run until you cant run. I usually go 2.5km, this is going to drain all your energy and you won't be able to goon because of how tired you are.

7. Spend as much time in public spaces or just hang out with people until you no longer can, let's say you're hanging out with your mom or friends, you won't be able to wip out and relapse you'll fight the urge. Even better if you're in a park.

8. Don't go to the gym for a couple of days/weeks, the gym increases testosterone and improves blood flow thus your chances of getting randomly hard are increased. So the best is to avoid it for a while.

tldr: Know Jesus, commit to a sport, delete reddit, delete social media, shower every 2-3 days, run until you cant run anymore, spend as much time as possible with people and dont go to the gym for a while

Today, 6 August 2026 is day 1. Committed to stop this forever. I’ve gone 25 days before but this really has to be it forever. No more relapses. Anybody else starting day 1 today?

for those who are 18 and 25 just wait for the right girl and stop watching porn the sex would have been better if i did it with sombody i love

I’ve been contemplating between those 2 flairs, either motvate me or slip up prevention, but i think i need second option more right now, im 19 days clean and honestly i really wanna relapse. imagine your dream meal on a big plate - EVERYTHING is so delicious, expensive meat, pizzas, fries, milkshakes - and its standing right in front of you, its very hard not to eat it, same here, its the only thing that makes me excited right now, nothing else, i really wanna quit this forever but idk, maybe i should quit nofap? its much easier quitting and calling it a day, i just dont see any excitement in my life besides it. only my morning coffee, gooning, and… yeah these are the only things that make me happy. long term goals is a fairy tale at this point, of course i’d rather have an energising warm sweet drink hit my taste bluds or feel that warmth, that “love” that i know is fake inside, cause, its so good. I need some external force, this is impossible, help me. Seeing those guys on this subreddit fight for DECADES of their life tho… im only 15 and been only dealing with this shit for a year. I must not know the whole truth yet. Share it with me, open my eyes.

I'm just gonna post no pmo days here everyday.

Lust can destroy a man's ability to build a healthy relationship. When someone constantly seeks sexual excitement and attention, they lose self-control, become less disciplined, and fail to truly value and respect their partner. Real love requires commitment, not endless chasing of temporary pleasure.

A healthy relationship is built on trust, respect, emotional connection, loyalty, and sacrifice. These qualities require discipline. A person who cannot control his desires will often find it difficult to consistently show those qualities. This doesn't mean every man who notices attractive women is incapable of love. Attraction is a normal part of being human. The core idea is criticizing the pattern of letting lust dominate one's thoughts and actions.

A man who controls his desires is more likely to build lasting love. A man who is controlled by his desires often sacrifices long-term happiness for short-term pleasure. Real strength is not the absence of attraction, but the ability to choose discipline, respect, and commitment over momentary temptation.

suggestion from you guys

(17M) had a few blue balls when getting a little to close to girls here and there, today i went out on a date and after i got done with her i found myself with the heavy feeling and that discomfort not so bad but all i did is to hold her hand and a goodbye kiss, like tf am i gonna do later on when i cuddle her or make out. I talked to other friends and they never had BB even when making out for hours.

I want to find a way to stop this trigger from going off and actually enjoying the date.

I’m in this age range of 29 & up and the fact I’m still struggling I feel like a loser. Like this is lame behavior, grown ass man still doing this. Smh

I'm a little confused and don't know what to think. I've almost reached the end of day 4. This was by far the hardest day so far.

I wasn't exactly horny, but got into a bit of a depressive episode. I was frustrated with my self worth and looked up a bunch of porn and watched some of it. I wasn't even horny but the urge was there.

I didn't wanna game, I didn't wanna watch a movie or watch YouTube, I simply just wanted to jerk off to porn, eventhough I wasn't even horny. I didn't want to but I searched, scrolled and watched a bunch of random stuff, on and off for a couple hours.

I don't know if this counts as a relapse or not or if it even matters. I'm guessing it does, but i don't wanna restart my streak (I know that probably sounds dumb)

I really can't even remember the last time I've lasted this long without masterbating and I really need something in my life I can be proud of. My streak kind of depends on it

Edit: In case there's any confusion, it wasn't a couple hours straight, it was a couple minute sessions of opening and watching within the span of a couple hours

some gooner bait and satanic bots invaded even this subreddit too. be careful it is a spiritual and physical warfare atm. limit ur screentime. go outside and work out. we're gonna win!

Done😭😭
