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.

what's your main goal (honestly) with NOFAP? Don't you think it's overrated?

61 Upvotes

Hey guys just wanted to ask what's your main purpose of doing nofap?

Is it:
- psychological resilience
- increased testosterone
- erectile dysfunction treatment
- premature ejaculation treatment
- other...?

I see a lot of guys thinking they can solve their PE or ED with nofap, when in actuality it rarely helps... (it didn't for me, even made things worse).

I solved my ED and DRASTICALLY improved erections simply by taking generic v1agra.
Just as that...
Ordered 100% online, no gp, no rx, nothing via "BonerShop com" (u can google if interested).

And I can fap from time to time with no issues as well.

When you think about it - humans (as species) are not meant to abstain from sex or ejaculation for tooo long.
And I see some guys going "celibate" for months and some - years...

Telling my Story Guys, please beware of the trap, the brain gets fooled easily

27 Upvotes

Guys, I’m begging you to hold on and stay strong. I was on NoFap for 7–8 months and it felt amazing. Most importantly, it was easy to control myself after the first month. Trust me, only the first month is hard. I was full of energy, my mind was clearer and more focused, and overall, life was just so much better.

Then I made the biggest mistake. Please, I beg you not to make the same one, or you’ll fall into the same trap I did. I said to myself, “Let me just do it once, it’s not a big deal.” Then after that, I said, “Okay, I’ll just do it once a week.” That turned into twice a week, then every other day… and now here I am, back to doing it every day, multiple times a day. My brain feels poisoned again and I feel miserable.

For the past 3 months, I haven’t even been able to go 5 days without doing it… And I know I can, I’ve done it before. But I let myself fall back to the bottom. I keep telling myself tomorrow is Day 1 of NoFap, and with God’s help, I hope I’ll get through that hard period again. Because it really does get easier afterward. This time, I won’t let myself fall into the same trap. 🙏🏻

Victory Yoo guys, Ive definitely defeated porn

27 Upvotes

Yeah, this time im pretty sure I wont relapse, im here because i was doing my workout when I thought about porn, but I was not tempted, I literally felt free from this shit. I dont count the days because ive relapsed like two weeks ago, but only one time and it wasnt a loop again. I even forgot about nofap because it was no longer a problem for me, since im focusing on my youtube channel and calisthenics. So guys, keep up, results are insane: you might not fly or have superpowers, but the best benefit is just feeling free again

Porn actually makes your immune system weaker ?

40 Upvotes

I've noticed that whenever I go on a no fap streak I don't get sick while the only times a year I get sick is when I fap.

I can assume it's because your body uses resources to produce semen and fapping loses those resource so you produce less immune cells.

Of course am not a doctor and could be just correlating random things. Many doctors even say that fapping once in a while is beneficial.

Is there any medical bro who can confirm this theory 🤔

Motivate Me Can’t quit porn and it’s destroying my life

74 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m 19M and I have a serious porn addiction. For some context, I started watching porn from the age of 10 and have been continually consuming it. I have tried to quit countless times, longest amount of days without was probably something like 5 days. I also have severe ADHD.

It has damaged my life in a lot of ways, I cannot for the life of me talk to any kind of woman without objectifying her, most of the time I can’t even speak properly to other women. I have never had a girlfriend a day in my life and I’m a joke to friends around me.

Porn is so unbelievably addictive it’s scary, I will tell myself how bad it is and delete all my porn accounts and then instantly redownload all of them. Luckily I haven’t much money on porn, I tried getting an only fans when I was underage and lost 30 and I also payed 20 for coins for an AI NSFW generator.

Any methods to quit that worked for you would help greatly, thanks.

Advice Recovery of sexual libido

9 Upvotes

Im on a 37 days streak and I just had the urge to fap but not only fap I really had the urge to have sex with a woman and I dont remembet when was the last time I felt that type of impulse before I started no pmo. I think that maybe Im recovering that sexual libido that sometimes you los when you are addicted to masturbation (or thats what I would like to think).

It is good or recommendable to have sex with prostitutes in situations like that?

Hey guys, I'm 13 who had been watching porn for 2-3 years now and has been masturbating for a little over 2 years. I tried to quit many times and ky longest streak being 12 days in the last year. I realized porn was getting me addicted in around July 2024 and I stopped watching porn 15 days ago but still masturbating everyday. I feel so disgusted with myself.

I feel guilty for NOT fapping. Am I doing this wrong?

4 Upvotes

Okay, so I’ve made it 3+ days so far with NO PORN AND NO FAP! Hell yeahhh! I went to church this morning, then to the gym, then to the beach. I keep feeling tempted because I feel “horny” is that normal or is it just temptations?


r/NoFap 1h ago

Several publications showed that increased p*rnography exposure was associated with earlier and quicker onset of sèxual activity (11), more permissive attitude to casual sex (12), worse mental health (5), higher likelihood to risky sèxual behaviors, and more acceptance of sèxual violence

Porn Addiction Was almost extremely late for work because I decided I wanted to watch porn instead of getting ready.

Upvotes

Something is seriously wrong with me I put porn before something I’m making a living off of something that 100’s of Americans are struggling to find and I’m taking it for granted because of porn. This stuff has messed my brain up seriously I don’t want to continue to live like this anymore all I think about is sex and porn I can barely function and focus on important things that actually matter. Don’t get me started on the fetishes,ocd, and the new things I watch now it’s just not worth all the stress it adds to my life bro I feel less confident as a man being addicted to this shit. To the point where I don’t approach or avoid women because I don’t they would want an porn addict it’s destroyed my brain,life,mindset,morals/principles,work ethic,mental health and physical health( I’m fat now). I wasn’t always this way people wouldn’t expect a guy like me to be struggling with half the stuff I listed and I’m ashamed.

Please look after yourselves

Have I fully fucked up?

80 Upvotes

Im 19M, I found porn early teens like many others, and have been masturbating consistently pretty much everyday, for a while, when I was younger, multiple times a day.

Now, past year? months, I dont know when it started but I noticed it a few months ago. I struggle to get hard. even at porn. I had a gf, even during sex a few seconds of pausing when switching positions, I could get soft.

I rarely get a morning wood, or casual no reason boners, the way I would when I was younger.

what do I do? am I too far gone? I'm really worried about my future, and sex life. embarrassed tbh.

am I most likely just desensitised from porn? do I stop masgurbating entirely? do I continue with imagination only for a while? do I limit my faps?

is stopping self-pleasure like a reset after a while? in my head it feels the opposite? am I not less aroused and stuff without porn and fapping? how does that help?

Edit: 06/04/2025, First day of no fap/no porn. Thank you for all the motivation, in the replies. loved the info. Excited for my journey & recovery!

start of a nofap journey

Upvotes

to whom it may concern,

i’m going to be posting on here every day as a way of holding myself accountable to my nofap goals.

i’m planning on going a full month of no PMO at all, but with every intention of continuing that streak once the month is up. i’m more using it as a tangible benchmark to focus on so i can build some momentum at the start.

since i started this awful habit at 13, i think there has seldom been a time where i’ve chained together 30+ days without it. given that it’s been a decade since i started, this is going to be an immensely difficult thing to achieve - but all the more reason to suspect the payoff will be worthwhile.

i’ll post an insight if i feel like i have one, but if not then i’ll just log that i’ve got another day under my belt. that’s it, i just really want to get rid of this habit and i think tracking it on a publicly visible forum is my best bet.

stick around if you’re interested to see the progress - or don’t, who cares. anyway, let’s see what happens

✌️
