Women of NoFap:

Hey everyone! I’m a woman who has lurked in this community for a long time. I’ve loved reading about your stories and successes. I also really enjoy the support this community gives one another.

I’ve been really embarrassed to speak out in this community because I’m not a man. I’m a 23 yr old married female, who has struggled with porn addiction for around ten years.

It really altered how I viewed myself, men, and sex for a long time. I, like so many of you, felt horribly awkward, especially around men. I also had an unhealthy and unrealistic idea of sex for a long time. My addiction to PMO seemed to run my life at times.

I’m glad to say that it has been a little over 30 days since PMO!

A few days ago, I shared this secret- of porn and masturbation consuming nearly ten years of my life, to my husband. I told him about this community as well. To my surprise, he was super supportive. I felt like the odd one out, being a woman in this community, but he encouraged me to make my first post here. Possibly there are other women lurking who can relate as well?

Anyways, after talking with my husband, we both decided to try PM-mode together! As we believe it can help us connect more, and also help cure myself of my addiction. I already feel more positive and productive than I did a month ago.

I’m happy this community exists. It has already helped me in so many ways. That’s all for now. I hope everyone has a great day!
