A little background, I’m gay and have mostly taken the submissive position because of my PIED. At Day 40, I had a date. The date was mediocre, but we had been talking about having sex for a while. After dinner we went to his place, started with foreplay, and was able to perform!!! I notice […]

So the first time I discovered NoFap was about 2 years ago, where I did two streaks of 19 and 22 days but eventually gave up and kept doing PMO until September this year. I was struggling with depression and other issues so I decided to try again and reached a 7-day streak before relapsing […]

So I’ve made it to 100 days of no PM recently, and I wanted to post something about my journey, if for nothing else than to mark the happy occasion. I’ll talk about successes first, and strategies secondly. Then, I’ll add some parting advice. Begin with successes. Since making 90, I’ve definitely been less prone […]

Today is the big day! Following 9 years of PMO addiction, I completed my first 90 day hardmode (well, monk mode technically) reboot ever! This honestly feels amazing, I’m in a daze. I know I’m not out of the woods and that I could still relapse in the future, but I feel happy about this […]
I have been addicted to pornography for 12 years. I did not realize that my addiction was so serious until I escalated to transsexual porn just a few months ago. After several failed attempts, I achieved my best streak so far 30 days without PMO. I still have a long way to go, but I […]
I think that after 500 days of no PM (O – only with my wife), I’m somewhat obliged to write about my current state. 1. Am I free? Yes, but… · Minor urges happen – they’re not something I care about, but the reason for them is explained in point X · I had two […]

So I’ve been dealing with porn addiction since I was around 18. It became really problematic over the last 18 months.

So this is my longest streak now. My previous long streak was 30 days and it was like almost a year ago. All I wanted to say is, stay strong and keep going. It gets easier with time. Some of the biggest benefits I noticed are: – I have more energy and get up earlier […]
