While I have slipped up a few times during this 8-weeks, I am 100 per cent confident I will never watch porn again, because the last time was so very boring. Like an alcoholic who has a beer after they stop over years and thinks it tasted like piss, I feel the same way about […]

A lot has changed in my life during this challenge, whether it be directly correlated to noFap or not, I am glad that i’m in a better state now. Besides the general noFap benefits such as energy, more time, etc- I was finally able to get the girl that I have crushed on for over […]

Quick summary: Married for 15 years, addicted to Porn/Fapping for 25 years. Random occasions of ED. Over the past 3 weeks I’ve resisted the urge to PMO in the toughest of times – in hotel rooms while out of town alone, at home alone while family is away. These were automatic porn/fap times previously, not […]

Greetings from Italy fellow rebooters! I’ll start off by saying that I quit porn exactly two years ago (started reboot on 01/08/2013) and I feel like sharing my success story with you guys. A bit of background first: I’m 26 year old and my pornographic ordeal has been a “rollercoaster” with ups and downs. I […]

At 13 we got the internet at home, back in the days of dial-up, with mainly pictures and really crappy videos on the free sites. I wasn’t the most confident person, and I was incredibly shy when it came to speaking to girls, but overall, I was fairly popular at school, and pretty happy and […]
