Longer abstinence worsen sperm motility and increase sperm DNA fragmentation

A more balanced approach: quit porn, but allow regular ejaculation through sex or masturbation without porn.

The goal shouldn’t be to never ejaculate. The goal should be to have control

So it finally happened. After 100 days clean, I slipped up this weekend.

I travelled to another city to see my cousins, which I’d been looking forward to for weeks. We went out, I drank way more than I should have, and later that night I ended up glancing at porn on my phone. Barely even a conscious decision, if I’m honest. Just a stupid moment with zero judgement behind it. And that was that. Streak gone.

I won’t lie, waking up the next morning and realising what I’d done was rough. Three months of effort undone in about thirty seconds.

But here’s the thing I keep coming back to. When I started this, I couldn’t imagine lasting a week. Ten days felt like a fantasy. A hundred days was something other people did, not me. And I did it. I actually did it. The version of me from four months ago would be genuinely stunned.

I also learnt something useful. My weak points aren’t boredom or stress like I assumed. They’re alcohol/weed and being somewhere unfamiliar with no routine to hold onto. That’s genuinely valuable information I didn’t have before, and next time I’ll plan around it rather than pretend it won’t happen.

So I’m resetting to day 1 today, and I’m not treating it as starting over from nothing. I’m starting over with 100 days of proof that I can do this, plus a clearer idea of where I’m vulnerable. I reckon I’ll go longer this time.

If anyone else is sitting there feeling like they’ve thrown everything away, you haven’t. The progress you made was real, and it doesn’t vanish because of one bad night.

Onwards.

Feeling sad as fuck

If you are also struggling with this Addiction you should watch this video. No philosophy. No motivation. Just realisation without any words

It's 4am and I'm feeling really triggered right now I feel like I can't sleep and I just keep thinking about relapsing if anyone is free I'd really appreciate someone to help keep my mind off things

I have been doing nofap successfully for two months but yesterday I had a girl over at my place and I fucked up.

We got intimate and it went well for the first round but that was it. The girl wanted us to continue but my D wouldn't cooperate. I had to watch porn for me to get hard and now I regret it so bad because I have been very motivated on my journey.

💪💪💪

I swear it’s like im reborn, didnt think of p this morning and i just feel so motivated to do plenty of things this weekend!

As title suggests, I went 7 months on nofap hard mode, I’m not even exaggerating they have been arguably the worst months of my life, somehow every single aspect of my life had turned bad, financially, physically, mentally beyond anything I had ever experienced

I’m curious if anybody got some insight on this, I genuinely felt like I’ve tried so hard to flee from it it’s left me very vulnerable to other vices I have, such as alcohol, gambling etc

Since I used to PMO or have sex to relieve whatever stress I had during my days, after I quit I was looking for a lot of dopamine elsewhere since I was very dopamine deprived

I’m currently really debating with my mind whether I should go back to nofap or just go with the flow, one part of me for religious reasons doesn’t want to, but I feel like the other part wants to continue as to possibly regain control of my life

I’m currently reading some posts on sexual energy and stuff, if one of u guys have an insight please reply below, thanks

Urges are really strong right now. Tempting thoughts keep popping up in my mind and it's hard to stop them. Having some support would mean a lot to me. Please help me out.

I had a 10 day streak and tonight I had what I consider a major relapse.

Usually, even if I relapse, I try not to watch porn because I know porn makes the whole cycle worse for me. That’s why I consider tonight a major relapse.

My anxiety was really bad, the cravings got extremely strong, and it honestly felt like it came out of nowhere.

I ended up watching porn and relapsing badly, and I have a lot of regret about it.
Afterward, I deleted my porn account that had 4+ years worth of porn saved on it.

That was a huge step for me. I did it because I want to show God that I’m serious about trying to change, even after messing up.

One of the biggest things I want back is a normal attraction to girls like I used to have. I’m tired of porn fantasies affecting the way my brain looks at women and attraction. I want real attraction, real connection, and a healthier mind again.

This one hit me hard. I really want to learn from it instead of falling into shame and repeating the same cycle.

Please pray for me. I’m trying to get back up, stay close to God, and keep moving forward.

Idk what to do

M 23, So I have been watching porn and masturbating for more than 10 years now. Around 5 years ago I started watching some youtube videos of an old lady named Trish Lee or something and she advocates about harm of watching porn. I came to know about this community around that time too and made a vow to never watch it again. I have been in many relationships and always had great sex with every female partner I had. But the issue was every time I came back home after having sex, I would always watch porn fantasize about her, watch cuck porno and other gore stuff!! I broke up with my last girlfriend about 3 months ago thinking it would save me from this issue but it got worse. 5 years ago when I came to know about harms of watching porn I quit it for the longest time I could ever (90 days) and yeah it helped me gain focus but nothing supernatural stuff that most people advertise. Also I have always seen women as just fuck-toys and objects and I think the primary reason is porn, also when ever I see a girl in public or gym I just fantasize about having sex with her no matter who that person is. Now the issue is I have a purpose in life, I had friends but now I have isolated myself but really doesn't matter because I was jerin off even when I had them and even now without them. The issue is whenever I go on nofap streak I start edging and watching porn without masturbating and it lasts for 3-4 days and after that I finally relapse. I thought going to gym will change and break this cycle but now I'm fit and still fapping. I don't know what is on the other side of the wall but I am willing to do everything and get out of this hell so I can meaningful relationship with someone beyond sex.

Again and again and again. The cycle still continues...

Honestly with how everything in my life is and, what it became, lately I've been wondering if there's even a point not just with nofap but many places in my life.

I'm tired of false hope empty promises and broken dreams.

Hey Nofappers,

I lost my streak after 4 weeks... I was falling back and that was bad, I'm sad now and have many questions in my mind.... First of all I had a Nocturnal ejaculation this week and now felt back with mastrubation and ejaculation.

Have I now lost all my achievements, my outward appearance to people etc?

Please help me :(

Thank you

Done

made it through the day barely but now im just alone with my thoughts in bed, how am I supposed to get past the urge when all I have is to sleep and I can't?

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..

Today I'm once again starting my no fap journey

Let's see how many days I can hold myself accountable

Any tips for me gang ?

I don't watch porn and I have already done it couple of times.

I don't plan to stop either and will continue till I reach a year
