Relapse: A Stern Warning I’m writing to warn others about relapse – and more specifically, how easy it is to relapse. I quit all PMO in August, 44 days ago. My story is similar to others. I somehow discovered YBOP and this website. An eye-opening experience. It’s a great moment of enlightenment mixed with disappointment […]
Background: 24, M, college educated, currently in graduate school. Natural Bodybuilder (No steroids, diuretics, testosterone boosters. etc) I started fapping since I was 12 to MTV spring break promos and slowly but surely moved to high quality hardcore. I realize that porn was my fake cure-all drug. If I was anxious, nervous, lonely, depressed, scared, […]
Hello Fapstronauts, I come before you with an announcement. Today is my 90th Day without masturbating. It has been a roller-coaster ride. There has been many ups and downs, but definitely the trend goes upward. The people that say that nofap have no effect are either numb as fuck towards their own feelings or they […]
Well that definitely took a few attempts. I started this ages ago on 4chan, unable to make a month. Months later I discovered this subreddit when it was still young. It was quite eye-opening to see that PMO could have been the source for a lot of my problems. To test that, I tried it […]

I’ll tell my story here. August 23, 2012 Last years I gradually started to have gay thoughts – they are very rare. Once, coming back from a party, I thought “what if I have sex with a guy?”.

In the meantime I lied to my parents, friends, basically everyone. Re-enrolled and quit smoking too much weed and passed all my […]

June 19, 2012, 05:07:54 PM » I’m a man dam it, not a chimpanzee (Lizard Brain). For fucks sake, I can overcome PMO addiction because my rational brain is bigger and stronger than my primitive lizard brain. I am 10 days into my re-boot. My story. I am 43, married, no kids, normal on the […]

How much masturbation is right for you? Consider the facts and make your own experiment. Have you been taught that adult masturbation is so healthy that it’s practically a tonic? That all orgasms are equally beneficial? That there’s no such thing as too much ejaculation? And that there are dire consequences from not masturbating very […]

My fellow fapstronauts, I can hardly believe that the time has come for my 90-day report. My NoFap journey, which began nearly a year ago (on September 26, 2011) has finally brought me to this major milestone, and I have no intention of ever going back to PMO. In the hopes of providing some motivation […]
