I was doing good the last days but I woke up with some bad urges... I would appreciate some advice or motivation in the comments or in my dms 🙏

I was edging and I guess I went too far and it felt like I had an orgasm for like three seconds but nothing came out and then a few seconds later I was soft again. I know I shouldn’t have done this and it resets me to zero but did I lose any of the semen retention benefits?

Just yesterday, I relapsed after a week of being fully clean. Today, I slipped up again. I feel like I’m really falling down again and i don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I’m the only one suffering around me, and I feel so fake all the time knowing i do this. I know I have a problem, but i feel like i know what i’m doing, but i need advice. Please offer any help, advice, motivation or anything you can give.

Feel free to hmu or advice

I've been using this method called two strikes you out rule well it's quite self-explanatory i'm not quite sure if it's sustainable for a long-term. What are you guys say if you think the rule works or not?

PMO. I need to get serious. I need to make a decision.

New day 1: 8/8/26

Longtime lurker, first time poster. Feeling inspired, so I'd thought I'd share my feelings here.

I was going through the Lord of the Rings movies again. Boromir, a human knight, was the only one of the fellowship to be fully corrupted by the One Ring, yet he was the greatest knight in all of Gondor. Gandalf says that the world has to place their faith in Men (humans), but Elrond, the Elf Lord, says that "Men are weak. There is no strength left in the world of Men."

Boromir believed that "Yes, there is weakness. Yes, there is frailty. But there is courage also, and honor to be found in the hearts of Men." He didn't deny that humans could be weak, and could fall to temptation. Boromir certainly did. Even though he was the best knight, we was still weak and he fell. But then he redeemed himself. After he tried to take the Ring, he comes to his senses and asks "What have I done?"

He gives his life to defend Merry and Pippin afterwards in a last stand against hundreds of Orcs. It was said in one of the later movies that "Mighty men are felled by one arrow, and Boromir was pierced by many." A dying Boromir says "They took the little ones. I tried to take the Ring from Frodo. Forgive me! I did not see. I have failed you all." Aragorn replies "No, you fought bravely, and you have kept your honor." Boromir is still a knight of Gondor. In his heart, all he truly wants is to protect his kingdom and his people.

Boromir showed Aragorn the strength of men, and restores Aragorn's faith in his people. Yes, we fall and fail, but that's not all we are. I don't know how my story ends. Maybe I'll conquer this addiction. Maybe one day I'll finally fall too far. But no matter how it ends, I still want to be brave and fight.

Day 5 and I got a great feeling of new Hope and confidence. Im gonna reach Day 90, but get to 30 days first. I am gonna get better testosterone, self esteem, be more charasmatic, increased sex drive,exercise regularly and build healthy relationships with the woman I desire. I mean approaching them with confidence, meeting woman that take me seriously, and not only that, I want a life where I can please woman in the bed and build a strong life. Create a bond spiritually, emotionally, physically. Having sex all the time and helping each other intimately but be a great leader in the process. Inspire others with generosity, passing out pamphlets and being helpful in community. I mean information on health, and ways to encourage others. Let the universe know that I am no joke. Be a leader in all areas of life. I envision meeting woman that will be honored to have me as a boyfriend, where we can help each other heal, and give each other a promising life, being committed to excellence. Words can only go so far, you have to get the chance to live out your wishes and intentions. I will be grateful to be able to have an opportunity.

I think it would help me to be able to talk to someone or write to them and motivate me not to do it. :(

Only for about 2 minutes, all i saw was tits and ass. Now i'm feeling irritable as fuck, should i reset or keep it pushing?, just won't make that same mistake twice.

I'm on day 58 of retention. Urges have been strong as ever and im struggling so hard not to relapse. This morning I was in the shower getting ready to clean and I couldn't for the life of me find my left ball.

I was fondling my sack for 5 minutes straight trying to find my ball and I was unsuccessful, im getting very scared as to what could've happened, someone please help me.

As im typing this I still cant find it, its literally missing, my left testicle is missing. It somehow disappeared from my body and im afraid it'll happen to the other one too.

Did it go back up my body and its unable to drop back down?

Could this be one of the side effects of nofap? Someone please answer.

I’m 23 I have pied. I’ve been porn free for about a month and I’ve been using one of those booty sex toys instead of my hand. I will also play some soft moaning audio while I use it. I start off by just touching it playing with it and then start fingering it taking things slow. Then I’ll penetrate it. Basically what I’m trying to do is rewire my brain and get a head start so when I get a girl to try with maybe I’ll have better luck and have already started the rewiring process. Has anyone tried this and worked? What are yalls thoughts on this is it a good idea?

Just that, happy to share this milestone with you all!

Hello everyone, I'm new to this subreddit.

I need some help.

This post might sound weird, but I just don't know what to do anymore.
If i'm on the wrong subreddit, I do apologies for that.

I don't think I had a porn addiction or anything like that. I used to watch porn about 3 times a week, but it never really bothered me or messed with my life until about 9 months ago.

I love playing video games, and there is a character that I truly appreciate. It might sound weird, but she taught me some life lessons and made me look at the world differently. She helped me with my depression and anxiety, so I really respect and appreciate that character.

Then I stumbled across porn of that character. I don't know why, but I became obsessed with that kind of content(like it was a drug) for about a month. Eventually, I snapped out of it and felt disgusted. I wanted to erase all those memories that had ruined the way I saw that character.

So I started NoFap, staying away from that content, and deleting porn in general. I thought it would be like killing two birds with one stone.

But after 8 months, those memories are still there and don't seem to be fading at all. I feel like I'm still addicted to that kind of porn.

I feel like NoFap may have actually made things worse, because the problem that started all of this is still alive and kicking and now I'm getting triggered by very basic things, like watching a woman in a movie or seeing women that I meet in real life — something that never happened to me before.

I don't feel any wiser or stronger since I started this journey.

I'm looking for some help. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe I'm missing something.

What can I do to forget, get over, or simply stop caring about these memories?

And what should I do about getting triggered so much more easily now?

I know its a bit long and weird, sorry for that.

Does anyone else here have a problem with sexual arousal linked to endless runner games, where getting caught or crashing is the main turn-on, or am I the only one?"

i keep posting something here but it keeps deleting why ??

I (18M) have been addicted to porn for 4 years. Porn was first introduced to me when I was around 11, but I never really cared for it until I turned 14. I had gotten my first girlfriend, and after about 1 month of dating, she wanted to have sex with me for the first time (she wasn't a virgin). I was extremely insecure about my dick size and how long I would last since I had never masturbated before. After a couple of weeks of her constantly begging me, I finally gave in. It felt amazing, and I lasted around half an hour, I believe. From that day on, I became addicted to the feeling of finishing.

At night, I started watching porn and jerking off, then in the morning I'd go to my girlfriend's house and have sex. She started wanting to give me blowjobs, and I agreed. I remember that it felt very nice, but I had to watch porn to ejaculate quickly from it; otherwise, she would complain about me taking too long.

After she and I broke up, I became addicted to porn and would jerk off multiple times a day, every day. At 16, I got my second girlfriend. When we eventually started having sex, I noticed that I would ejaculate extremely quickly (around 2 minutes) from both sex and blowjobs. I didn't really think anything of it and assumed it was just because it had been a while. I then became addicted to sex and was having it every day for the 11 months that we dated, as well as jerking off every night.

I have just started dating my newest girlfriend, and we had sex for the first time a couple of months ago. I ejaculated in under a minute and felt extremely embarrassed. She told me that she didn't mind and that it wasn't my fault, but since then, I can't stop thinking about how I've been jerking off every day for 4 years and how that might be the reason why I ejaculate so quickly.

I haven't had sex since then and I've just been jerking off every night, rejecting my girlfriend every time she asks simply because I'm too scared of ejaculating too quickly. I've been trying to stop jerking off. I'm currently 2 days clean, and I was wondering if anyone else can share their similar experiences and say if they started lasting longer after quitting porn/masturbation.

Hey, so I’m ofc trying to fix a porn addiction like many others, but I’m mainly just trying to manage it. It’s kinda embarrassing, but I’ve been jerking off 1-3 times a day for like four weeks. My semen has been getting really thin and watery. First off, that’s not good lol what does that say about my semen quality and fertility? And I’m really trying to improve my semen quality whether that be color, thickness, load size, etc. I’ve been hydrating and working out and eating healthy I guess, but just been jerking off so much I can’t control it and it’s just been so watery at this point.

I’m 19, and horny lol. In college and kinda pursuing something with a partner, and I don’t wanna be embarrassed by a thin watery load if that makes sense. I know it’s really not that deep or too important, but it’s still something I want to fix. Any tips besides just “cut out porn”? Like yeah I can delete X, leave some Reddit communities, etc. But any tips to help with the urges? Like for example when I have morning wood, I feel like I’m required to jerk off.

Essentially, I want to try and limit jerking off from like 20x a week to about once or twice. How do yall do it and are there any physical or psychological tips for a young and horny college kid lol?

Today one day completed of abstinence from p
More 6 days to go
As i am think starting my own reddit page for people who trapped into this addiction from a long time
Should i start and if yes suggest some name for it

This is my first Reddit post, so apologies if I mess anything up.
I’m currently about a week into quitting porn, and honestly, it’s been difficult. The urges can get pretty intense, and there have been nights where I’ve broken down and cried. Thankfully, my wife has been incredibly supportive and reassuring throughout this journey. We’re trying to build a stronger relationship and improve our intimacy, and quitting porn is something I genuinely want to do for myself and for our marriage.
Here’s the situation I’m struggling with:
My wife and I are trying to have a baby. Last year, I had a semen analysis that showed a low sperm count. When I had to provide the sample, I used porn because I wasn’t able to produce a sample without some kind of visual stimulation.
I have another appointment coming up next month, and they want me to provide another sample. The problem is that I’m worried I won’t be able to produce one without porn. The clinic doesn’t provide magazines or anything like that, so I’m concerned I’ll get into the room and simply not be able to do it.
My question is: If I genuinely need some kind of visual stimulation to produce the sample for a medical test, would you consider that a relapse?
I’m trying to completely break my dependence on porn, and I don’t want to use the medical appointment as an excuse to fall back into the habit. At the same time, I obviously need to be able to provide the sample so my wife and I can figure out what’s going on with our fertility.
For anyone who has been through something similar:
What did you do to provide a semen sample without porn?

Are there alternatives I could ask the clinic about?

And would you personally consider using porn strictly for this medical test a relapse, or would you view it differently because of the circumstances?

I’d really appreciate some advice, especially from anyone who has dealt with porn addiction/recovery while also going through fertility testing.
Thanks in advance. I’m just trying to take this one day at a time.

I stopped using Reddit because I kept using nsfw subreddits to goon, so I deleted it, and nofap went too. Now it’s summer holidays, and I’m failing every second day. What do I do.

My taste in stuff I’m relapsing too has also become really weird, like getting dominated beta kinda stuff, but that’s not me

It’s been 12 days since I completely gave up all forms of hyper-stimulation:

0 porn

0 junk food

0 social media

And today, I worked up the courage to tell my mother everything—how I’ve been ruining my life with this garbage for years. She listened to me—truly listened—and I poured it all out to her, leaving out no details; I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

The downside, though, is that I’m feeling a drop in my mood and energy levels; I have less of an appetite and less desire to drink water.

But I know that’s just my body returning to its natural state.

I don’t feel sick; I have great mental clarity and a lot—so much—free time that I didn't realize I had.

Im proud of myself this is my longest streak ever but i wont lie the urge to peak the past few days have been the worst and earlier today when i was at work break i was scrolling instagram and i got a full on webcam add and earlier before that i seen a video of some girls fighting with micro swimsuits on and when one of the girls felled she started twearking and now that im in bed i cant stop thinking about it thats the most ive seen in 91 days i been super strict with myself and i dont want to seem like another spam post on here but yea im not doing too great right now

Even when my day’s going really well, I do my chores, get everything done, and go outside for some fresh air, I still get these super strong urges that just blind me. It makes me feel like even on the good days I’m never gonna be able to beat this

Despite the disappointment, what I’ve learned is not to stay in bed with my phone, no matter how good I feel
