For the first time ever, I went 100+ days without fapping. The urges were tough, but I got through them. A few days ago, however, I did a reset because I came to a conclusion that some of you other successful nofappers came across, too: it’s the porn that is the main problem, and the […]
Read More… from Age 25 – Found my normal libido and a use for occasional pornless masturbation
Hello, If you’ve been reading the “Geoff’s Journal” thread in the 30-34 journal section of the website, you’ll know I’ve reached 90 days of no PMO. This is a major achievement for me, and one of which I am both satisfied and proud. As others have before me, I wanted to write down a few […]
Read More… from Age 34 – more in touch with myself, Things in the bedroom are a million times better
This is my humble 90 day report. Before I delve in, a few of my specs are: 19 year old (as of 9 days), been using porn and masturbating since the age of 13. Used porn typically once per day, decided to undertake NoFap earlier this year in March. I am unsure where I should […]
After 18 weeks of no PMO I think it’s high time to reflect on my experience. (And I’m afraid it’s become rather long; if it’s too long for you just skip down to the last three paragraphs for the main points that I want to share with you.) I’m a 26 year old male and […]
Read More… from Age 26 – Different people also have told me that I have evolved into a real man now
Told girl I’ve been dating about PIED. Last night I let it off my chest, she liked me even more for it. I was a bit anxious about the situation but I’m glad I got it over with… she said she’d wait until I could get it up again. Then last night we’re fooling around […]
Read More… from Age 18 – Recovered from ED: had sex for the first time in two years
Me, now 31, have to personally thank Gary Wilson for his research in the field of porn addiction. I started at an early age to masturbate to porn, since many years I have been struggling with either to decrease or completely stop this addiction. Actually I was searching constantly for an answer to the question […]
Read More… from Age 31 – When I’m off porn the attraction & libido comes back.
I’m a private, quiet person by nature, and I never felt the need to speak up. But now, roughly 500 days into my journey on NoFap, I wanted to write this-to say thank you to r/NoFap, to all the people who helped me along on my journey. I didn’t think it was fair to leave […]
In the past many called me a weak person. I was scared, lazy, and totally out of shape. I did not have any passions in life, other than gaming, eating junk food, smoking weed and fapping. Last year, I decided that I couldn’t live on like this. So I decided to change. I started jogging […]

So here’s my 120 day report. I’m going to try and make this post helpful and give my advice for tackling no fap. But first, I’ll give you my backstory and reasons for no fap. I’m not very good at articulating myself so sling me your questions and I’ll answer them the best I can. […]
