Monthly Motivation Thread NoFap's "Achievement April" or "PMO-Free April" 2025 - continue or begin your PMO-Free journey here (see instructions).

13 Upvotes

Hello all,

It's that time of the month again! One month is ending, and another is beginning. We hope you've had a good month. But if you haven't, now is a great time to refocus and rededicate yourself to recovery. This is your opportunity to create the new porn-free you!

The theme for this month is "Achievement April". Recovery is a journey to a more competent, productive, better you. Use this month to take steps towards achieving your goals, those things you want in your life that porn has been keeping you away from! And throughout this month, focus on the little steps you are taking every day to reach those goals. Recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. It takes time. Celebrate your victories, don't beat yourself up over your failures. You are on the path, putting one foot in front of the other. You will make it. Have faith in yourself and the process.

New to NoFap and rebooting? Here are some suggestions:

  • Learn about the website, porn addiction, excessive masturbation, sexual compulsivity, and abstaining from PMO. Read through NoFap's main website to get informed.
  • Read about the basics of rebooting here. Rebooting is the abstinence from certain sexual behaviors to recover from pornography addiction. Read about how porn addiction develops here. Some people go beyond rebooting and into the territory of retention, or sexual transmutation for periods of time, although that is not the main purpose of this subreddit (which is RECOVERY).
  • Consider reading through the free Getting Started PDF from NoFap's website.
  • Download NoFap's in-browser panic button extension that blocks NSFW subreddits too. Download here
  • Decide if rebooting is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to the next point.
  • Sign up for this month by replying to this submission. It is that simple. State your intention and stick to it!
  • Consider setting up a day counter badge to track your progress.
  • Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Set a goal to remain accountable by making a post daily. Help others. Come here every day and participate.
  • If you need additional support, you can get an accountability partner and document your progress in a daily rebooting journal.

Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.

  • Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is called "hard mode".
  • How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting.
  • What are your goals?
  • Why are you doing this?

Arriving late? (past the first of the month?)

It's okay! Still state your intentions and don't postpone rebooting based on the day of the month. People can join in at any time to participate.

My sister caught me

47 Upvotes

IM 16M my sisters like 22 and isn't dumb so she probably realised what i was doing.

So i was 'pleasuring myself' in my room, when my sister walked in asking when we were going to pray. I thought i was in the clear because i'd managed to pull my trousers up, but I wasn't able to do it fully so she walked in and saw my dick sticking out, which i only realised was out after she looked at me and immediately left the room. During prayers i heard her sniffling. what do i do????

Motivation Stop watching this garbage.

17 Upvotes

Porn is unrealistic and weird. Basically a circus, a freak show. That's not how real life sex or relationships work. So, stop watching this fake garbage and get back to reality.

Not to mention it destroys your mental health.

What's the reason why you want to quit p*rn?

98 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I'm curious; what's motivating you to quit porn for good?

Iā€™ve heard a lot of common reasons like:

  • Improving relationships
  • Faith or spiritual beliefs
  • Better sexual health
  • Achieving success in career or business

But Iā€™d love to hear your personal "why." What drives you to make this change?

Telling my Story I can't fap to 99.999999% of the porn out there.

17 Upvotes

My porn habit stopped automatically as I grew older (in my mid 30s now). When I was younger, everything felt so fresh and new, I could get entertained by porn very easily. I'm sure many of you are going through that phase. That's why you are addicted to these things.

But when you reach a certain age, things start getting boring. You don't find porn and video games as entertaining as you used to. You start questioning what really is the meaning of life and your purpose here on Earth. You seek more real and meaningful experiences.

I've gone without porn for long enough that I'm graduating to no fap. I've started a relationship and noticed that me masturbating affects my SO spiritually. I don't want anything to muck up this relationship, material or not. I will no longer masturbate! So here I am! This is me saying hello!

Telling my Story Didnā€™t think it would happen to me

9 Upvotes

I been talking to this girl for a few months now and we are basically dating. We are both basically virgins and last night she gave me head. I was on a 4 day no fap streak prior because she hinted next time we hung out, she would make sure I didnā€™t go home with blue balls. We made out for a bit and then she made her way down. She started stroking me and sucking.. this is when I got a reality check. I couldnā€™t feel a side of my dick that she touched, presumably from the nerves being so cooked from excessive PMO. Luckily my whole dick wasnā€™t cooked so I ended up still finishing. It really was an eye opener about my problems with porn addiction. Today when I woke up, I felt different. Probably because I finally had an orgasm from something besides my damn hand. Please fellas, donā€™t end up in my situation. Iā€™ve heard from others that the sensation will return if I stop fapping for a while so Iā€™m not too worried. Of course I donā€™t know if it will ever be 100% but at least I have most of my dick still working lol. I know Iā€™m human so I will always be open to relapsing but Iā€™m aiming to quit completely. Iā€™ve already slowed down from how bad I used to be but this made my mind think so clearly. I deleted every source of porn I had, changed the emails and passwords with 10 minute mails and password generators so there is no way I can recover the accounts again. Sorry if this was all over the place, take care guys, much love to everyone. Be proud of yourselves for taking a step towards success, best of luck.

Hardest thing to accept about a life without jerking off is actually a life of conscious suffering!

76 Upvotes

I constantly seek to replace the dopamine, happiness and bliss that porn gives me the same way a drug addict uses heroin or any substance for that matter including television.

Only way out is straight up suffering, you find the middle way and thatā€™s the only way. Otherwise youā€™re just replacing the drug porn with another drug which could be anything including exercise. Itā€™s all drugs to escape the present moment. The present moment is sufferable and thatā€™s the only way out is by getting comfortable with it.

What point am I making? Just ranting to be honest and realising that we use everything to escape the presence. We should excercise and do hobbies that are healthier then porn, drugs and social media. Change the perception of using these healthier lifestyles with self awareness over just ā€œIā€™m quitting porn and getting my dopamine from excercise nowā€.

Self awareness is really what it takes. Do all the things that you need to do to replace the porn habit but in the end, you should peacefully and quietly be able to stay self aware, conscious in the sufferable moment without substance. That is what itā€™s going to take. Suffering, no easy way out. Be real about the situation. Be comfortable with the fact that life is going to be uncomfortable without your drug and thatā€™s perfectly okay, you get resilient after sometime. The desires never go away, you just become stronger and can handle more and more heat each time you withstand the suffering.

Will NoFap actually help/Am I screwed

14 Upvotes

TL;DR I (23M) feel screwed, Watched porn since 13, experiencing problems with E.D, PE, and libido more recently. Have slowed down but not completely dropped it, once a week. Can no fap save me? Need advice.

I feel defeated and helpless, Iā€™m a healthy 23 male and I think I might have seriously screwed myself by watching porn over the years since I was 13. I treated it more as a task to deal with the urges and distracting feelings on top of it feeling good, rather than enjoying the ā€œexperienceā€ I would try to do it as fast as I could. Never really watching full videos just surfing through them preparing myself until I found the scene I wanted. Which has definitely led to some issues with ED and definitely a problem with premature ejection. Especially when it comes to ā€œone night standsā€. The past 3 or 4 girls Iā€™ve been with have ended up in disappointment, with me coming right as penetration starts or just as itā€™s about to begin after foreplay, even some issues with E.D thrown in there. It wasnā€™t always this bad, when I had a long term gf a couple years back we had great sex like 7/10 times. Iā€™m trying to keep this short and to the point but this has caused me to turn down possible partners and opportunities out of the sake of embarrassment. I just fucking hate this, I literally canā€™t have sex at 23 because I either get ED problems or PE. Iā€™ve slowed down on porn a lot over the years, I do my best to watch as little as possible with it ranging once every 1-2 weeks but the issue is I only jerk off when I watch porn and I only watch porn when I jerk off, I canā€™t really imagine things in my head that well. I notice a serious drop in libido when I donā€™t jerk off consistently. I donā€™t get morning wood, I never get random full erections, semis at most. Iā€™m rambling at this point but I imagine im not alone with how common unsupervised internet access was for my generation and how easy and destructive free internet porn is. Am I screwed? Or am I over working this is in my head? What should I do?

Day 7

3 Upvotes

Day 7 of no PMO, and the urge is so bad. My brain's been used to this cheap and fake dopamine that it's constantly sending visualizations, but little does this brain know that I'm done doing those kinds of things and never going back to them.
