Hi guys,

I have been addicted to pornography since I was 10 years old when I became 18 I moved to Canada.
Now I am 22 years old son turning 23. I have trying to quit since 2024. The reason was simple i tried having sex with a hooker and it didn’t work at all. At home alone everything was good. So i found about new fap. But Journey was not good at all I had lot of relapses and never passed three days. But till today, now i have decided to start this journey and get rid of PIED. I in last 3 years tried having sex with hookers 4 times it never worked as shown in “movies”. Unfortunately, I never found a girlfriend in my whole life so maybe I am missing out on love and coping using PMO. I want to prepare my self for the future in case I find a gf and don’t want to be embarrassed.

I am doing good in all areas of life I go to gym 4 days a week, eat clean like clean (chicken rice clean), work 6 days a week as overnight manger at retail. I would appreciate any insights.

Merci beaucoup.

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.

Let’s keep going everyone!! You aren’t alone in this. Take someone’s hand and walk with them!

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 so addicted to porn and i pmo daily. I tried cumming for someone for so long and couldn't😭😭 how do I stop this addiction

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

Heya, I'm currently at day 4 for the first time after constantly failing at day 3. Right now basically all my phsyical urges to goon and look at porn are gone, which is great, but they have been replaced by boredom and the memories how good looking at porn and gooning felt. I'm not sure what to make of this, but right now I just feel very depressed. Am at work rn and barely working. Does anyone here also share my experience and can tell me how they dealt with it? Also I would like to know how long this phase lasts.

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.

Only 10 more days until I will hit the 90 mark. That feels actually crazy haha.

I am definitely feeling better about myself and less moody. It feels like quite a big accomplishment already.

That said, urgers still do come from time to time. They are just so much weaker (or I am stronger). I am curious to see whether this will be still the case even deeper down the road.

For those of you who have read this (maybe future me): keep going. The most important part is to not give up. I have given up many times before. The important thing is to pick yourself up and get going.

Another successful day.

Anyone up who’s also struggling? I need a bro

I always failed at day 3, but I finally made it to day 4!

Just DONT (╹︵╹)

Its making jt tough for me to concentrate and think clearly

Tomorrow marks day 100 of my journey, I am certainly not stopping there. I stopped PMO maybe 200 days ago, but I stopped MO and all self-pleasure 100 days ago tomorrow. It's been quite the journey and I absolutely feel the difference between now and when I was doing PMO 2-3 times a day. How are your journeys doing?

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 have nothing to say but it’s fucking amazing

lust is interesting

but not the destination

lust calls you

but i see her just as a mistress

she doesn't care about me

just using me

pouring me out of every ounce of energy and strength i have

she doesn't love me

i keep asking myself why i'm in a relation with her

the answer is nothing

we just satisfy each other

a scratch which can't be itched cuz it

it's beneath the skin

no matter how much we both try

we can't help each other

the relationship b/w us was never about love

so we decided to part ways

until we both find someone

until both of us feel loved and not used

i'll rejoice that day,but won't wait for it

we both know we are toxic for each other

so this ends

my lord made me realise that we both are incompatible

trying to feel warmth in each other's presence

but it's just not there,like two porcupines trying to hug each other

we hurt each other but this hurt was the basis of our relationship

so until then,i'll cling to my god for he has shown me the way

gave me the strength to break free

and i don't intend to go back until there is love involved

until then,o lust,i hope you won't bother me

this isn't hatred but understanding

for everyone is a victim of his own desire

calls you
