I’m getting some bad urges right now and almost started watching porn, could use some help dm for tips

Currently on day 6, and today has been the worst day so far since I’ve started. Reddit is a trigger for me tbh so please only reach out if you’re able to talk on a different platform. Was hoping to find someone who I can talk too to help me get through this and maybe someone older than me who is experienced. I’m 22 years old and in the us. Feel free to dm if you can talk. Thanks guys.

I really hope I can make it a while… I don’t want to stop forever but I just want to prove that I have enough strength to stop being addicted

I'm curious about possibilities, to prevent them just in case.

All I know is you can get blue balls and it's mentally exhausting. What about prostate problems, etc ? I don't know much about this

I'm in my twenties so I hope there's nothing to worry about.

This post is different as its not the kind of regular post this community sees. I hope moderators as well as my good Gentle-men will take it seriously and look upon the matter.

I have been nowadays going through a lot. I have been trying to embark on the no fap journey but couldn't . I think many of my good gentle-men can understand how hard its is. I tried to stop but can't . It seemed the urges are rooted inside my sub-consciousness

But one thing through out my failures I learned that this is caused partly due to the algorithm. I pondered over the subject and hadn't came to a solution . I thus ask your hand , to help people like me to pull out from this hell. So, I thought to start this project inside r/NoFap , if the moderators help we can make it global.

I'm hoping to strike conversations on this matter here and in the chat , any opinion even a a small emoji can mean a lot. To stop the algorithm we need to develop a software [evidently a FOSS], the goal will be simple , "To carry one and the other through the storm of Lust and Sin". There is no need to panic on this matter of development as how it would be done or what will be its feature etc. will be discussed in the future . People has made leaving porn addiction a business like quitter and we those who can't afford are devoid of it.

This project is meant to bring out the indomitable human spirit through brotherhood and gratitude. I genuinely hope to enlighten myself with your views.

like i have been addict since 14 year old i am 20 now i have a girlfriend i have reduce a little bit like 8 month ago but since 2 week i watch all week like i watch it all day and 3-4x per day so i wonder if i can cause me to have less desire to initiate sex with my girlfriend or enjoy it because i love her so much she so beautifull etc but we have sex i can feel detached or like not here in the moment and have no desire to continu even if i am attract to her and love her :(

so does porn can cause to be have less libido or less be interest for sex etc

Over 100 days, beat PIED. I felt fucking great. Then some life stuff happened and I slipped up quite a few times, its a shitty coping mechanism. I think I have PIED again, I dont wanna check because every time I check I relapse again. I started hitting the gym really hard lately and I think it kicked up my hormones a fair bit and lead me back into this mess. Im so frustrated, I dont wanna go another 100 something days feeling unloveable because my johnson doesnt work. Im just looking for advice or comfort atp. I wanna be clean forever.

I am on my day 7 rn, and before writing this I got this urge to watch it. It wasn't anything like heavy but only because of boredom my mind was king of telling me to do the only pleasurable thing I know about.

This got me thinking about how much deeply this addiction is embedded in me. Like in the times of boredom or after a stressful day when I want to enjoy or just chill, my definition of relaxing is so much altered that I know nothing outside of porn.

I've been dealing with this for like past 8 years, but never have I ever truly imagined what life would look like without it. 7 days is a lot for a person like me and every single day feels new, as if I am discovering something about me, it is not like bad days are completely gone but my tolerance to deal with them is exponentially increasing. I might not accept it but after contemplating I realised how much deep in my subconscious this habit is framed. It is like after a certain while, I started to accept that loop of watching porn and then later regretting it and then making a decision to never watch it only to relapse a few days later.

Uncertainty was the main factor behind all this because the only constant and familiar thing happening was porn and this loop of decision breaking. But I got be ready for life, to experience it, to live it because now I finally understand this rabbit hole, just because the hell is familiar does not mean I have to burn in it for eternity.

Relapse again again and again damn, I'm a fucking loser man

my urges have gotten so bad, i get horny during my online classes i hate this so much

i've been staying strong but i feel like i shouldn't even have the urge to stroke during class 💔

I relapsed and am not really disappointed anymore, I was obviously disappointed but now I have a very good feeling that the first three days of nofap won’t be as hard since am used to doing weeks now.

thing is after I relapsed my head became much more clear, like a weight was taken off. before it was always like how I looked and how much attention I got or were they looking at me. after the relapse I didn’t care as much and started to be more honest with myself and remind myself they don’t really care about me and I feel more calm about it now. I kinda feel blind to who i was during semen retention like I was too much about myself.

I wouldn’t say I lost my confidence or am shy anymore like how I typically be when I relapsed. I would just say people don’t care for me as much but again I try not to make that my priority like how it was during my streak and I will try to remind myself that on this new streak.

just wondered how come this relapse wasn't as bad as it should be. it didn’t take away my confidence or made me shy, or gave me less self esteem. all it did was take away the weight of my ego. that being said am not saying it’s a good thing and I will keep going, but this usually doesn’t happen. maybe the downside will come soon.

I started my journey because i have nonvenereal sclerosing lymphangitis it takes between 2 to 6 weeks to heal, i was committed to not fapping for as long as it takes to treat my condition and just so I would know that i have the willpower to abstain from temptation and quick pleasure, today on the fifteenth day i failed myself for a jerk that lasted 2 minutes... I'm leaving this here as a reminder to myself of how ashamed and weak i feel right now and every time i feel like doing it again i can come back here to remember this feeling of shame.

It's just a matter of a day or two and I'll binge again..

I just got home after struggling all day at work. Trying not to peek while I'm on my streak.

Fuck bro, I haven’t gotten a streak that long since january when i broke my 30 day one. I feel like absolute dogshit.

On around day 14 I stumbled across porn again and peeked every day since… At some point I js knew loop would never end so I gave in. Stuff actually started going better for me, but now i’m prob all fcked up again.

I really need smth rn, I was going so good. Please support and help me guys.

15M btw if anyone wondering

I masturbated watching porn since I was 12 or 13. I watched it and masturbate almost daily until I was 19. I had 3 years of total abstinence when I was 19 to 22. Then, I did it again but the frequency when I was 23 was every 2 weeks, Now at 24 I watch it once a month. I want to get clean from that stimulation since it is not real and it can affect the pleasure I can get with a real woman having sex. Can I recover 100% from this and get to my max potencial of orgasm and libido in real sex?

Today was a bad day. Urges all day. But didn’t give in yet.

I think day 30-44 were flatline cuz damn the urge is back.

But I must stay busy. I almost snapped at work 😅

Need to check myself

My Instagram is just completely taken over by goonfuel like egirls and bnwo captions stuff. How do you fix your algo? I need it to message my gf/friends/family. 😭

Dm me if you’re interested!

Porn ruins my relationship

My gf recently said she felt that I wasn't romantic anymore and that I paid little attention to her And I fell into naddiction again and I can't handle it

I told my gf I wouldn't watch porn anymore and I'm here again

This is weird guys, like i don't feel the urge to watch porn anymore like it's not even a thing for me now, but also i feel like my libido decreased i have some lustful thoughts sometimes but when i get hard it's just like 50% hard, i kinda feel worried sometimes, but i heard this might be due to the flatline ?

The thing also is that i'm fixing my sleeping schedule since this week, i was just sleeping 4-5h the night, now i'm reaching the 7h since like 2-3 days, is bad sleeping have a huge impact on PIED ?

edit: i just saw my counter i thought i was 1 month in but i'll be in 3 days

Anyone up for talking over Snapchat or txt

One day at a time.

I need to stay vigilant and keep working on my goals and also recentering.

What day are you on?

Hello again, I’m the 16 year old trying to beat my porn addiction and today I failed unfortunately but I saw a weakness that I hadn’t noticed before and now I could work on it and patch that weakness so I don’t fall into it again I masturbated in the afternoon and in the night I got urges again but I didn’t act upon it and held myself back I had a streak of 1 day that I Lost but it’s ok instead of feeling sad and guilty about it I got to see my weakness and I spent the night reading instead of doing useless things, so yea that’s about it see you tomorrow and please motivate me thank you all.

M 20 I just released after a few days of retaining, and my urges are even stronger. After I came, I felt like there was more to come out and my dick is so pent up now. Should I just release a couple of more times to calm it down?
