I'm not going to take very long to explain, but basically I got rejected by a woman quite recently. And what do you know, I end up with my pants down on the toilet, doing the same old thing to ease the pain. What's worse, I told myself I would give in if I got rejected again. I wish I could say...

I'm not sure anyone can give me a clear answer on this, but I'm temporarily living with my parents for another six months while my houseplans are being finalized. Have any of you successfully rebooted while living with your parents? For me the problem becomes that we live in a small house, we...

Hi guys, I've been off porn for about three weeks since my latest relapse. I have been uninterested in porn in general, and never have erections, not even a little. I visited a site in my boredom, but I still couldn't get an erection. Am I in the flatline? It kind of feels like I am. Stay...

Hi guys and gals, (Possible triggers ahead) I feel like I'm in a bit of a pickle. All the time I hear people (mostly Americans) recommend that I go the gym as a coping mechanism for dealing with pornography and the lack of dopamine you experience while rebooting. But I honestly don't feel that...

Hey everyone! Possible small triggers ahead. I haven't been to the forum in ages as my recovery has progressed far enough that I don't need to. But I wanted to ask if anyone has any new information on the lawsuit that Pornhub filed against the creator of Fight the new drug. Any updates on...

I've quit going to the gym for about a month now, and something happened which I didn't expect. Rather than increasing my urges they actually decreased. This makes perfect sense in my opinion, at least if you're not having sex. When I went to the gym I'd usually have more energy in my body, but...

Anyone who hasn't and is feeling a lack of motivation needs to watch the documentary Addicted to Porn: Chasing the cardboard butterfly. It is at once informative and heartbreaking. Despite it's age it's actually fairly up-to-date I'd say. It's available for free on youtube.

For some reason I've grown up to have losers for friends. I don't want this to be a rant, but I really feel like they are part of the reason I keep relapsing. Every time I suggest something, one of them is always unsure if he wants to hang out or not. I have a feeling he doesn't even like...

Hey nofappers! Anyone have any good book recommendations? I'm looking for ones within the area of self-development, primarily aimed at a male audience.

I'm five days away from 30 days in monk-mode, and I am really feeling the pressure. It's so strange how one day I barely feel any cravings and the next I can't stop thinking about sex. I just fear for tomorrow. What if I can't fill my schedule? What will I do with the extra hours? I am jittery...

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a filter that sets a time-frame that you can set yourself but which you can't unlock until the time is up? So if I wanted to have three months as my goal I'd lock it for three months and could not under any circumstances unlock it. Also, does anyone know how to...

I go to 12-step, mostly because I just want something to fill my time with. Now I've had a person offer to be my sponsor. The only problem (if it is a problem) is that he is not an addict and has never struggled with addiction. Should I still have him as my sponsor or is that just not a good...

I've been listening quite a bit to Peter Hitchens lately and he seems to believe quite sincerely that there is no such thing as addiction and that it is in almost every case a matter of will power. Since I consider myself somewhat of a fan of his I took his view seriously, despite that previous...

I would like to know your thoughts on using dating sites while rebooting. I'm not a very athletic person, so I don't usually get a lot of scantily clad women in my feed, but I'm wondering if others have had bad cravings because of dating sites. Tinder is of course off limits for obvious reasons. 

New month, new opportunities. Let's get back on track for march and another two months! This is the big haul, and I'm gonna do it even if I have to use a tranquilizer on myself. Who's up for the challenge!

I relapsed yesterday and I honestly was furious with myself afterwards. Just the fact of not being able to have an erection without porn became frustrating and for that reason I caved. Oh well, nothing to do but get back up and realize that it's a marathon. I hate marathons though.  >:(

Now I'm on day 21 of hardmode and I've noticed that I stopped having morning erections. Before I used to always have them, and I've never suffered from PIED with a partner. I can't tell you when it stopped because I don't have any journal to tell me. I find it strange to not have them, as...

About a week ago I had days where I've been pretty busy, but now I'm beginning to have days with no plans at all and I'm starting to lose my motivation. I'm currently in school, but struggling to focus on schoolwork at the moment, not because of porn and sexual thoughts but because of...

I masturbated a little yesterday (less than a minute) without orgasm, until my reason caught up to me. I don't consider it a relapse as hard-mode isn't an option for me right now. My question is: does anyone have any info on whether masturbating just a little can hike up dopamine in the brain...

I'm a very lonely guy. Most of my friends have moved out of state or are married or have girlfriends and have no time for me. Most of my days I just sit around at home, read a book, watch a movie, study a little (when I have to). I have had the worst form of social phobia and at one point I...
