WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
/nofap/ was founded from nofap threads on /pol/ that started popping up around this time of year last year, calling for 2015 to be a nofap year. It's been a wild ride guys, at least, wilder than a little dead board like /nofap/ ever could have hoped for.
How was your nofap year, guys? Even if you didn't go the whole year, I bet you made great progress. Estimate some total for all your streaks and you'll probably find that you went a quarter, a third, half, maybe even more than half the year without a fap. That's a nofap year, no question about it. But there's still room to improve. A lot of room. 2016 will be the year we'll make it.
Get started now if you want a totally clean year; this only gets easier the longer you do it. And remember to believe you can make it. If you accept that you'll fail before you even start, you're not gonna make it. If you get hyped for 2016 YEAR OF NOFAP now, then you stand a chance.
Here's to a new /nofap/ year.
2016: The Year We All Make It
DON'T FAP YA CUNTS
EDIT: Fucking mootwheelz broke the mod UI.
Welcome to /nofap/
Welcome to /nofap/
This board is for the discussion of nofap, noporn, and the societal implications of fapping and porn.
RULES
http://8ch.net/nofap/rules.html
>1. Stay on topic. The topic is pretty loosely defined here so use some common sense.
>2. Don't post porn. NSFW images will be deleted. Posting NSFW material as a shitty troll attempt will result in a comically long ban. This board is SFW, so keep it that way.
>3. Non-/nofap/pers are welcome to come and question the premise of nofap and to argue against nofap. That said, shitposts, flames, bait, spam, and trolls are not allowed and such threads will be locked or deleted.
Just those three.
And because I don't want to clutter the board with excess stickies:
ITT: dump /nofap/ infographs, videos, links, banners and other such things
what the niggers
>day six
>took a short piss
>felt like a fucking orgasm
fmsu
>suddenly can't go longer than 1-2 days at a time without fapping
Just fuck my shit up fams. This is why you can't fuck up on your streaks.
chat group?
is there some sort of chat support or something.. sometimes i just need a wing man to coach me otherwise ill just waste another fucking 3 hours edging.. ya 3 hours isnt a lot but.. god damn…
Medicine, shrinks, doctors, sex addicts anonymous
have any of you tried various therapies for your fapping addiction outside of browing /nofap/
any of you tried to get antiandrogens from a doctor? Someone told me those are a common medicine to help with hypersexuality
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiandrogen
Any of you been to a shrink, psychologist/therapists, whichever?
Any of you been to sex addict meetings, theres several groups out there it seems,, mostly AA spinoffs
Any of you tried any of this shit?
Day #2 THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
I was suppose to buy a notebook today to put this down, but the shops are closed cuz it's Chinese New Year and I'm in FUCKING Asia.
So instead I'll just make a POST about it. Hope you guys don't mind too much. This is just more of blogging and vain hope that this helps me right now. Can't be bothered to check the catalog if there are any threads thats suppose to be for this so I apologize.
I admit it! I'm an addict! Like BAD. I can do SEVEN a day, sometimes two-three consecutively. I can tell my mind is literally FUCKED. My dreams aren't helping any as I can tell that when I sleep, my mind is flood in dopamine and what other chemicals that's suppose to be there. I now have a hard time getting up when I used to be able to in a jiffy.
I can hardly sit still and concentrate and I have hell of a time to just sit and do my work and passion, let alone actually listen to a discussion. I start getting sleepy too, though I feel refreshed after a nap, but they happen at the worst times. Just today I was nodding off at church. Heck, I fell asleep as I was praying to NOT fall asleep.
I also should NOT have played a Visual Novel. Doubly so, I shouldn't have checked if said novel had an uncensored version. Hell, the first girl that's introduced in the VN and I just wanted to rip her clothes off. That should already have been warning signs and red flags for me to stop, but noooo, I had to check the other characters and meet big-boobed heroine, and dark-haired mysterious beauty.
God help me, I need a miracle…
Honor
I swore to god/honor I wouldn't fap/edge and I've gone a week without fapping. The only time I will ever ejaculate is inside a woman. Try it, it might work…
I want this board to do well; so let's all document our streaks/improvements in this thread!
Try to post every day if you can. leave a bio and a self-improvement plan for your first post. I'll do my part.
I'm a dude who has been fapping from age ~10. I fapped at least once a day. and I am ridding this habit to focus on programming more and not being a little beta bitch. I'm 18 now.
PLAN
1) Jus dun luk @ prn :^)
2) Replace time with programming
3) When I get the urge to masturbate I will do 10 push-ups and up it once every urge to punish myself.
Exercising releases endorphins so that might be counter-intuitive but I can live with being addicted to exercise; as long as it is two hours a day.
TODAY WAS TOTALLY BRUTAL.
It's my sixth day today and I have only seen one woman outside of my family. I feel like there is a void
that has to be filled with ass. I botnetted "ass" because I just couldn't take the pain of not seeing a sexy woman in three days.
I skimmed through first pages of three sites. I feel this urgency to talk to the girls on my screen in my throat but I can't because
I can't find a woman. It's so frusterating. The good news is I'm going to class tomorrow, I'll get there early because I need
to do something about this shit. If I get rejected I don't give a flying shit.
My libido is so hard to control as well. I feel almost suicidal when I don't get my fix of woman. This evening I got off my computer.
I laid down on my bed and thought "FUCK, WHY!" etc. about how my life is shit and woe is I. The reason I am still functioning
correctly is that I got a fix of ass twice today. Pretty big improvement from yesterday;
I was on /h/, /ass/, /wx/, and more for an hour.
Fuck no fappio
>Going to a succesfull week of no fapping in my personal quest to draw my SATANIC CARTOONS while sleeping just 5 hours per day
>Get sick, very sick in the throat.
God really is sabottaging my Satanist shit.
ARE THE JEWS BEHIND PORN OR NOT
THIS IS IMPORTANT
A method that helps me
When I get the urge to fap what I do is set a timer for 15 minutes and tell myself to wait at least that long, then I will try to distract myself with anything I can. When the timer goes off I will say to myself ok I waited 15 minutes lets see if I can go another 15, or 20, or whatever. I will keep doing this until the urge passes.
It works really well for me and I suggest you at least give it a try if you are struggling to get a good streak going.
Good luck brothers.
Masturbation and orgasms deplete the brain and spinal fluids of acetylcholine dopamine and serotonin
The Science & Aftermath of Sexual Exhaustion - How excessive ejaculation causes damaging chemical changes
Masturbation and orgasms deplete the brain and spinal fluids of acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin. Also diminished are hormones such as hGH, DHEA, testosterone, thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3), all neurotransmitters that are responsible for human functioning. All very important when it comes to sex. This deficiency melts the brain’s acetylcholine/parasympathetic, dopamine and serotonin nervous functions along with the endocrine functions. The damage results in symptoms of bladder and prostate problems; frequent urination, incontinency, semen leakage, enlarged prostate, etc…
People also experience hair loss as a result of masturbating way too frequently and they have no idea why. Young men especially wonder why they are losing hair. The answer lays in the imbalances of the body’s nutrients and hormones that over-masturbation produces. Over-conversion of testosterone into DHT leads to excessive DHT binding to the root of hair cells, blocking them from growing and cutting off supplies of nutrients and proteins, causing the hair to become thin and eventually stop growing altogether.
Frequent ejaculation also depletes the body of serotonin, causing an imbalance of it and melatonin. Melatonin is the chemical that controls your biological clock and tells you when to sleep and when to get sleepy. Serotonin, on the other hand, is responsible for fighting stress and anxiety as well as focus and concentration. It gets turned into melatonin for sleep and recharging. People who over-masturbate tend to experience a lack of concentration and fatigue. This is a direct result of depleting their bodies of serotonin.
Some people are clueless, and don’t understand that physical pain is usually an indication that something is wrong. If ejaculating hurts…stop doing it! Frequent ejaculations deplete your body of prostaglandin E-1, and until the body can reproduce sufficient amounts of the nutrient, there will be pain and soreness after ejaculating. Allowing the body to recover before ejaculating again is the first necessary step.
People also complain of pain in the prostate (which is due to an enlargement of the gland that causes restriction of urine flow and contributes to incontinency) after ejaculation. I tell them that their PSA levels have been elevated too high and won’t return to normal for at least a day or so. This is why the prostate is swollen and should be given time to rest before ejaculating again.
Hobbies
It's been a few days already so I think I'm ok posting here. I plan to continue not masturbating, but I need your help. Tell me:
WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY?
There must be something you do to direct all of this newly found energy. Tell me it isn't just writing board posts.

Porn and physical brain changes
Neuroscience Speaks: How Using Porn Destroys Your Brain
Neuroscience now knows that willpower is a function of the prefrontal lobes of the brain. Scientific studies have also confirmed that using porn over and over actually reshapes these areas of the brain, literally eroding our willpower and our moral compass.
Neuroscientists call it hypofrontality. Hypofrontality is a state in which there is decreased blood flow to the prefrontal lobes of the brain. Hypofrontality is observed in schizophrenia patients and is also observed in all manner of addictions.
“Compulsiveness is a good descriptor of hypofrontality. Many porn users feel focused on getting to porn and masturbating even when a big part of them is saying, ‘Don’t do this.’ Even when negative consequences seem imminent, impulse control is too weak to battle the cravings.”
The porn-addicted brain has trouble thinking logically. When impulses and desires come from the midbrain, instead of being moderated, the brain feels these desires as compelling needs. The prefrontal region is supposed to be able to weigh consequences and situations and judiciously shut down cravings, but hypofrontality means the addict’s ability to do this is impaired.
The more one masturbates to porn, the more dopamine is released in the brain. Eventually dopamine receptors and signals in the brain fatigue, leaving the viewer wanting more but unable to reach a level of satisfaction. The viewer becomes numb to things once considered pleasurable. “To escape this desensitization, people, and men especially, expand their pornographic tastes to more novel stimuli,” Black writes. This leads, again, to more fatigue.
To bring the prefrontal lobes back into working order, a two-pronged attack is needed: (1) the old neural pathways must be starved, and (2) new neural pathways must be built and fed, increasing dopamine levels in a way that build up the prefrontal cortex.
Did I just fuck myself, no pun intended
So, I have a question nofap
I started on the 17th, today WAS my fifth day without fapping, usually a once a day guy (general touching at times, but not really full on fapping). I have no fucks to give about porn addiction or fapping addiction, this is PURELY for the benefits from testosterone increases
But today, I decided fuck it, and full on fapped for about 20m but never let myself get to the end, not really edging at first, because I wasnt going TO the edge, I just wasnting fapping in a way that gets me there quick at all (I guess after 16 years of practice, I have stamina, meh). Then finally did hit the edge and decided to mess around there for a little bit, maybe 5-10 minutes of back and forth between lazy fap that doesnt really do much but feel good but will let you back away from the edge, then sorta go full hammer mode right back to the edge. Kind of fun really, especially after 5 days with nothing.
But, unfortunately I went to far, I started to cum at one point, but, as I've done before, I can stop myself at will and did so before the first shot even happened. Of course the result of this though is that a small amount of semen does end up in the pipes, but not even a full shots worth (at least not after not fapping for 5 days, maybe if its my second fap of the day to completion). Wasnt sure what to think for awhile, took a breath, then messed around for a bit (meh, jizz makes a helluva lube) then decided to quit.
So my question is this, as far as the hormone side of things, did I completely fuck up the whole thing? Meaning even though I didnt actually have an orgasm, and certainly didnt ejaculate anywhere NEAR fully, did I screw up the whole 7 day cycle? Am I basically reset to day 0 now?
Like wizardry
>come across dirty images
>feel the desire strike me
>realize that I can save myself
>immediately turn off my internet, get up and walk around
>sit down at my computer to read a book I have been going through
>the feeling & ideas are still faintly there, but I ignore them and focus on the book
>my affliction dissipates
>tomorrow is day 9 of my freedom from this animal sickness
Feels good.
Motivation
When I'm demotivated, I look at pics of hot girls.
When I look at hot girls, I get motivated, but I also get horny and have to concentrate on not fapping.
lmao
Alternative pleasure sources
Ever given yourself a braingasm by thinking about non-erotic things while bored/waiting? It feels pretty close to an orgasm, complete with all the body feels.
Unrelated, but I find that listening to music can greatly help nofap.

Fellow white men, physical activity is the only comfy way of dealing with your horny body. You must go for a run daily if you have a very hard time. Soon, that won't be enough (and don't run like a mile a day unless you're crazy. I run 1/3rd of a mile every day.) You gotta do something.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJAV5EVP_fk
If you failed, get back up. We must save the white race. Masturbating is rewarding yourself for not reproducing.
Do not go for the first women who makes herself available. Let her answer to the question "do you want to have kids?" be the answer. Don't ask it right away, but ask it on the first date or whatever, so you both are clear on what your intentions are.
DO NOT FAP, DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH DEGENERATES. SPEARHEAD YOUR LIFE. WRITE DOWN BUSINESS IDEAS, while the populace complains and begs for socialism and entitlements, you can pick up where the zombies are completely futile.
BE A HARD WORKER, I am no hard worker, but I value it, and whatever I do I know I am meant to be a hard worker, because no one else will do the work for me.
>Carpentry
>Fighting and arms training > Bodybuilding
>Aviation

>Having a WAGE
>Not being dependent on any drugs, caffeine, weed, whatever. 2016 is the no-drug year for me too. I had a coffee on New Years Day, knowing it would be my only coffee of the year to kick it off.
>Treat yourself. Pick up a hobby, and do it even when you are bored of it. Whatever it is, frisbee golfing, 3D modeling, writing, working out, fighting.
>This isn't a challenge, this is a lifestyle. Always keeping yourself turned on, always being ready even when you fail. If you fap, DO NOT FAP AGAIN, get RIGHT BACK on the train, you still have juice in you, do not drain yourself completely and indulge, DO NOT.

Masturbation over time
Can long term fapping (I'm talking 3-5 years) affect penis size?
pron addiction vs masturbation habit
So I wonder, how difficult is not fapping for someone who masturbates every day or two, but doesn't watch any porn? I know this is different for everyone, but I'm looking for anecdotal responses anyway. I've gone without for maybe a week maximum, but hearing that people have panic attacks and whatnot is admittedly spooky. So I wonder, is that related to the intense visual stimulation they've become reliant on (video porn?). I've always just closed my eyes and imagined shit, sometimes maybe using a picture or whatever, but I've only watched porn a few times. I'm wondering if that gives me a psychological advantage, and I wonder if any physical withdrawal is a manifestation of stress/psychic shit rather than physiological nonsense.
So tl;dr – how much of the withdrawal from daily masturbation is related to porn addiction
and a side note, my prostate isn't going to get fucked, right? I feel like I should still do it once every few weeks just for that reason.
Locked computer
Ok so I installed a pornblocker and set time restrictions on my computer and wrote the password down on a piece of paper.
Now I'm just wondering where's a good place to put this paper so that I don't just use it to disable to pornblocker instantly but can still get to it when I need to. Any Ideas?

NOFAP GENERAL/MOTIVATION/EDGE STORIES *-.NEVER GIVING UP.-*
I just started fapping and then I stopped.
Become an edge lord. I have been smoking weed and had a 5 hour energy. I just couldn't force myself to masturbate to orgasm. I am not satisfied with worldly porn.
Are their any good porn blockers?
Pretty much every porn blocker I experimented with is utter shit.
Half of them are so dumb, it's comical (for example: blocking "nofap" but not blocking "femdom". Yes, this happened with several programs and extensions).
Others block virtually everything. Some of those do have whitelists but I whitelist so much it's ridiculous.
The fact that these programs got good reviews makes me believe the reviewers were bots, and that virtually all these programs are by company's hoping to make a quick buck selling shit-tier software to tech-illiterate parents.
For now, all I have is a long list of URL's blocked in my host files, but that's very far from a real porn blocker.
Did anyone come across a porn blocker that works?

Fapping after coitus.
Anyone else fap after sex? I once had sex for several hours straight, and then afterwards fapped, even though it hurt. What's wrong with me? I used to think it was the adderall but turns out I'm worse off of it*.
*without it I find myself masturbating to weird stuff. It's like I have every fetish. Especially diaper porn.
Coincidence?
Jamie Lewis faps three times a day and is still swole as fuck. Alexander Rhodes doesn't fap at all and is a fukkboi.
new no fap member update
Update:
So I just fapped rn after around 2 weeks of nofap.
Of course the first try was just a ghost wank, no cum.
Second one was so fucking strong i had to change clothes cause i came everywhere.
during the nonfap period i lost weight, it shouldve helped my confidence but it just fades away, talking to girls seemed so easy in the initial first days of the nonfap but now i dont have that juice anymore(i didnt fuck it up with any girls but i feel like i dont have alot to say to girls)
2hours after the fap and i feel like my old shitty self before the fap break, feeling kindof depressed and shit at the moment.
I think this 2 week period of nofap helped me out tremendously but I still have alot to figure out about myself and stuff.
Should I keep up the nonfap ? Because I don't know, the confidence is gone and you know it's like super hard not to fap when its the weekend.
hopefully after working i wont feel like a piece of shit anymore.
How do you guys get that initial confidence back ? It seems to fade after awhile.

Tip thread
Instead of focusing on not fapping, just quit fapping and porn altogether. Just ejaculate during sex for the sole purpose of creating children in missionary
Noporn and severe anxiety
>tfw physical withdrawal symptoms from not watching porn
Not even fapping helps. This fucking sucks.
Meditation
Daily reminder to meditate.
Sex and masturbation, while it feels good, is a biologically stressful process. Stress literally rewires the brain's networks. Meditation also rewires the brain, and produces growth in key sensory areas of the brain.
nofap fetish
I got hooked on cum denial and also developed a blue ball fetish …. nofap is now a huge turn on.
I can't decide whether this is a good thing or not. fml
Help
Here's the thing: I've been jacking it like twice a day for the past few years, and regular porn just doesn't do the trick anymore. So I could have hypothetically entered a slightly illegal site by accident and accidentally jacked my dick to its contents. If I /nofap/ for a while, will these weird urges dissapear?
pls help
my fapping problem is worse than ever
I don't even get aroused or get boners anymore; I'm just randomly seized with the urge to fap, and the arousal comes after I've started instead of before. This isn't normal even for a sexual addiction. I can't even avoid the situations in which these urges show up because they show up in the shower or on the shitter, and I can't avoid showering or shitting.
It used to be comparatively so easy to just look at Offended or to just avoid porn and then I got lazy and now I'm in hell.
what do
fantasy
so, whats the verdict on mentally conjuring sexual stimulation? i tend to imagine vivid romantic/sexual scenarios with my non-existant little sister when i'm trying to sleep etc. i don't touch my dick or anything but i still get quite hard and aroused. i'm guessing its probably not as bad as pmo but still unhealthy in various ways. if you're trying to avoid fapping completely, then it would probably be wise to avoid doing it consciously as you could probably consider it another form of masturbation. it could be the first step down a slippery slope to relapse. also, the fact that fantasy can be as extreme and unrealistic as your imagination probably isn't good for your sexual sensibility. maybe its not so bad because it's an internal experience (i.e. not externally perceived like porn). thoughts?
Guys,these fucking Porn spam posts are messing with my nofap.I think i wont come here for a month.I hope in that time it goes away somehow.Stay strong

Day 1 Plan
Okay, first time coming here but I've went through some threads and thought "I really, really need to stop masturbating.". I am between 15-18 and masturbate 3+ times a day. I need some help to even lower it down, or to stop altogether. Any help?
Let's make a list of alternative names for /nofap/ in case shit goes wrong with that reddit patent troll.
new nofap member
I hope I can just drop my story here.
if not can someone direct me to where ?
not gonna greentext cause im not a fag.
So it all started friday, actually slept early the day before so i woke up early, felt so good to wake up like normal people.
Then my mom told me theres not gonna be electrecity for about 5-6 hours, so I decided to go to my bus card with the student discount, so I went down on in the subway and it was crowded.
I was standing and listening to some music and then this girl. Short blond girl wearing a sweater(the nice kind) and leggings and…
I shit you not on my soundcloud playlist I had this song (https://soundcloud.com/irie_misstxkes/boy) comes into my headphones and the girl, she's so close to me and her air is right under my nose and I never felt that way before, and her hair smelled so good.
Now I'm not saying that I felll in love but that girl showed how women are so fucking awesome and not just fapping material for your amusement (im talking the feminine body wich is so beautiful, not the attitude that females have these days).
and then… it happened I couldnt finish… even though I tried fapping to my favourite videos to fap to, nothing … was rock hard … precum… but couldnt blow my load.
then the next day slept really good, ate breakfeast felt good in the morning, and you know just fucked around the internet while getting high.
sunday too i just fucked around all day.
now its monday, i passed maybe the best day at school, actually talked to a girl made her smile and talked with a bunch of other people and made new friend, I did more socially in 1 day then i did in 2 months.
Now this is my experience, i havent fapeed for now 5 days and I fell fucking great.
you know i didnt even read any posts here, i just read the concept of the no fap board and I tried it out, and man do i feel great.
now im focusing on the real thing like school and losing weight.
Any help towards self-improvment and positivity, I think this is the first time in years that I'm actually feeling good towards my future how do you avoid going back to your old habits(not just fapping but overeating/laziness/badtemper/etc.)?
sorry for the grammar, im not a native speaker
also ross is back

Well, there goes my 2 day streak heh, the fact I kept being an procrastinating piece of shit made me wanna search the sweet release of the fap, specially shameful since I went out of my way to access porn.
I'll keep trying though, this might be just a simple fap, but I don't wanna keep at it daily and two or three times a day like I was doing, guess I'll shoot for a week first, no excuses, and then press on, wish me luck.
>tfw about to get high on white kratom to ensure my dick doesn't work for the day
Feels good man.
NO FAP General Purpose Log
Hello /nofap/!
After a few minutes of browsing this board I have found a desire to go on a streak. Background:
Best streaks:
82
54
31
28
And a few stray weeks here and there.
I've almost completely removed porn from my life, the only time I see it is the result of browsing chans. Since cutting porn consumption slowly down to zero I can say that it coincides with a more successful life, but it is just one tool among many.
All of my streaks except the 84 one have ended in drug level withdrawal effects, where I am almost incapable of being productive. I'm mentally unhinged and anxious, my mind is assaulted by the irrational want to fap, and eventually I cave only to realize how retarded I was being after cumming.
Since my last streak ended in that fashion I've been averaging maybe 7 to 11 faps a week (all no porn). I will take a different approach this time, a long game style. Instead of cold turkey I will build up over time.
e.g.
>day 1 FAP
>day 2 NF
>day 3 FAP
>day 4 NF
>day 5 NF
>day 6 FAP
>day 7 NF
>day 8 NF
>day 9 NF
>day 10 FAP
>day 11 NF
>day 12 NF
>day 13 NF
>day 14 NF
>day 15 FAP
>etc.
This is something I've never tried before and I believe it will help wean my body, mind, & spirit off the fapping vice. I'm hardly revolutionary with this thought as I've seen in mentioned before many times.
I'm not doing this for the commonly supposed gains as I've never experienced those (better social interaction, deeper voice, more alpha, stronger in the gym).
What I am interested in is the discipline and self control aspect. As well as the ability to be an elitist on /fringe/ and laugh at mundanes stuck in the fap loop jk
I'm in a serious problem, ever since I started noFap I got really into femdom chastity porn.
The idea that I'm not allowed to fap turns me on, and the more time I don't fap the more I have to. Eventually it's too much and I fap.
How do I escape this vicious cycle?
Should I Fap to vanilla porn regularly for a while and than start NoFap
Can't think of a non erotic relevant image so here's pepe
TL;DRv: Masturbating too much is a product of your shit life, not the other way around. Stop trying vainly to change yourself through nofap, which is completely useless, and use that effort to improve your life instead.
I am going to attempt nofap, not for a set period but by taking it a day at a time. I'm not going to bother with a filter because I know if I really want to fap, it'll be easy to remove any internet blocks.
Upon retrospection, I notice my fapping habits have increased over the past year to the point that I get up and go to find something to eat after the act because my reward system must be that jacked that an orgasm isn't enough. It's caused me to put on weight and become lazy. I don't want to lead such a degenerate life anymore. I want to get out there and meet women and be excited to fuck them again.
My regular fap schedule goes something like this.
Wake up 5am-6am, make coffee, check email, jump on xhamster and start browsing for something to jerk off to. As I browse asians, BBW, teen, cuckold, interracial, lesbians, and even fucking vintage, I'll get annoyed if there is not any new content from the night before. Because it's my morning fap, I try to find something that will cause extra excitement instead of going back to old time favourites. Usually done by 7am.
After spending the morning playing vidya (I'm a NEET), I'll have another fap and then go and make lunch and then I might have a nap. After I wake up, I'll make another coffee and sit down for an afternoon fap, which is usually followed by some icecream or chocolate or sometimes both.
Of course, I cannot go to sleep without a fap so I'll spend 30 minutes to an hour looking for something exciting to fap to before going to bed.
There are often times when I'll fap within 30 minutes of the last fap simply because I am bored and need the excitement again.
I've fapped that much over the years (I'm 31) that I have some minor stretch marks or rub marks from fapping so much. Sometimes it even hurts a little to fap because I do it far too often and too much and for too long.
The thing is though, I don't consider myself addicted to masturbation. In the past I've had temp jobs and been in situations where I couldn't fap as much or not at all and provided I was occupied, I didn't feel the urge to fap. It's not the fapping that is the problem, but easy access to porn.
Even now, sitting here with a coffee and not fapping, I can feel the dopamine screaming at me to load up xhamster and just do it, it'll feel good, you deserve it, go on, one last time.
Does my story sound familiar to anyone else?

Legal Trouble? I think not.
I have no idea if this was a thing, but I thought maybe some legal discussion would be good for the nofappers.
Recently I read the poal.me ( http://poal.me/p6ez8c ) stating that there was some potential leeway for legal trouble and I'd like to clarify to the best of my knowledge and the resources available.
7. What constitutes trademark infringement?
If a party owns the rights to a particular trademark, that party can sue subsequent parties for trademark infringement. 15 U.S.C. �� 1114, 1125. The standard is "likelihood of confusion." To be more specific, the use of a trademark in connection with the sale of a good constitutes infringement if it is likely to cause consumer confusion as to the source of those goods or as to the sponsorship or approval of such goods. In deciding whether consumers are likely to be confused, the courts will typically look to a number of factors, including: (1) the strength of the mark; (2) the proximity of the goods; (3) the similarity of the marks; (4) evidence of actual confusion; (5) the similarity of marketing channels used; (6) the degree of caution exercised by the typical purchaser; (7) the defendant's intent. Polaroid Corp. v. Polarad Elect. Corp., 287 F.2d 492 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 368 U.S. 820 (1961).
Furthermore:
(1) Any person who shall, without the consent of the registrant—
(a) use in commerce any reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation of a registered mark in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of any goods or services on or in connection with which such use is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive; or
(b) reproduce, counterfeit, copy, or colorably imitate a registered mark and apply such reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation to labels, signs, prints, packages, wrappers, receptacles or advertisements intended to be used in commerce upon or in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of goods or services on or in connection with which such use is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive,
shall be liable in a civil action by the registrant for the remedies hereinafter provided.
TL;DR
No product, no logo, no dice.

I'm trying the nofap November thing, but god damn it I gotta crank one out. What do you guys usually do to not fap?
Nofap October
All aboard! Who's in?
It's not a sin.. the Bible says nothing about fapping.
When the say it's sin there say it's in leviticus 15…..
Strategy vs Tactics
Reposting from the /pol/ thread:
>Porn and masturbation are kinda in their own little category, separate from other addictions. It's not like smoking or a vidya, where you're in the clear once you break the chemical dependency or habit after a few weeks of abstaining. The urge to fap and watch porn is based on instinctive urges that are an inherent aspect of our humanity, and you will likely never be completely free of that urge. Therefore, combating these addictions is a task that must be carried out much more diligently, resolutely, and meticulously.
>I honestly don't have much to brag on. But lately I've made a startling amount of progress which is attributable to a few factors.
>Firstly, I won't downplay the role of my religion here. I do pray about withstanding temptation, and my view of life, sin, and eternity definitely play into motivating my resistance. This also comes into play in the next point.
>A common failed strategy is trying to constantly convince yourself of all the good things that will happen if you stay away from porn and quit sanding your lumber. It's certainly nice to be reminded about increased testosterone and "superpowers" and whatever other reasons you have. But human action is not purely ruled by reason. And you will come to a point one day when the urge is so strong that you simply don't care about the reasons in that moment. You just know that it's going to feel so great, that it's going to be so satisfying, yadda yadda yadda. All your reasons stand much like an iron gate in the middle of a field. An attacking force may be unable to destroy the gate, but they don't need to if they can simply walk around it. In the same way, all your reasons are rendered pointless, even if they themselves are not refuted, if temptation is able to bypass your reason and attack your will directly.
>What you have to do is focus on your will itself, and not just its various influences such as reason and emotion (although they are also important). You need to resolve that you will resist and win no matter what. You have to be able to say, in those tough moments, "yeah, maybe I am missing out on a great time, maybe nofap is a crock of shit, maybe I really won't regret it after all, but I said no. And even if that's not the decision that will make me happiest, I'm sticking with it." As I hinted at earlier, I think my religion really helps here, as I realize it's not even about me at all. It's not about figuring out and doing what I want, it's about simply obeying God and doing what He wants. I don't need to figure out if I want to watch porn more than I want to keep my streak, because God said not to do that shit, period.
>The third and last point I'll make is that you absolutely cannot compromise. Not only must you avoid watching porn, you must avoid watching "totally not porn". Phrases like, "does it count if…" should never enter into your decision-making. If there's one thing I've learned from my time on /pol/, it's that the Slippery Slope is not a fallacy at all. You have to avoid behaviors and activities that you have discovered lead to failure. Even if those behaviors and activities are harmless in themselves. And you must be as unwavering here as you are with actual porn and fapping; you have to stubbornly say no to these little things just as discussed in the previous paragraph. No threat is too minor to warrant anything less than a full-force response.
>Now, I don't want to say all the other common nofap tips and tricks are worthless. I won't list them all here, you've probably heard them and even used them hundreds of times. Most of them are tactical devices, and in that capacity they are extremely useful. But tactics should not be confused with strategy. Doing pushups to stave off an urge is a good tactic, but it is not a winning strategy on its own. Like any tactical maneuver, it will not work in all situations, and it won't always be a realistic option. You must utilize tactics within the frame of a grand strategy to ultimately be successful.
>tl;dr: go back and read the whole thing fadgit
We tend to talk a lot about tactics in the nofap community, but it seems like there hasn't been enough discussion on grand strategy. This post touches on a few of those ideas, but I think they could use further development.
I'll start with the concept of focusing on your will itself. The fact is, some people are much more weak-willed than others, and I'm sure none of us are quite as strong-willed as we want to be. The question is how to go about strengthening your willpower. Obviously, the most common solution to any kind of weakness is training. So how do we train and strengthen our willpower as effectively as possible, both inside and outside the "battlefield"?
So it turns out my girlfriend gets off on public masturbation. Can any of you explain this habbit? What about masturbating in class turns you on?
I can't fucking start stopping this horrible addiction.
Whose sticking around
So, after this kekstorm is over, anyone else plan on checking back in here to actually try to reduce the amount they fap or their addictions to it?
Report in if yes
Goddamn it how do I stop edging
Relapsed on day 5 today
I did 91 days last year so I know I can do this shit. Then went through a phase of never intending to fap but idly edging, while clothed, and often going over the edge.
Told myself that I'd either fap/nofap, none of this halfway bullshit. If I'm gonna fap I'm gonna at least enjoy it. Plus know I've done the 90 day reset it seems to maintain hormone levels better if I fap every week or so.
But damn, I always slip back into this mindset:
1. I don't want to fap 'cause I like the motivation and confidence from the extra testosterone
2. But I just want to treat myself to a quick look at some (cute, innocent, clothed) girls on Tumblr blogs
Then shit escalates quickly.
I want to do no fap November. I've done no fap in the past, but I usually give in after a week or so. My record is ten days.
How do you resist the urge? I need tips so I can make it through the month. Any help is appreciated.
Do any of you have lovers?
>hooked up with a girl yesterday cus yay halloween party
>couldn't get hard no matter how much I tried
>thankfully we were both drunk and didn't care
>she just humped me while my cock was flaccid
I hooked up with another girl almost a year ago and I had the same problem. I think it's the masturbation and porn…
>i am a virgin btw
But isn't masturbation good for you?http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2518802/Masturbation-good-health-prevents-cystitis-diabetes-cancer.html also do handjobs count? My girlfriend is on her period.
What's the point of streaks again?
Fapping too much is a waste of time and energy, but not fapping at all puts unnecessary mental strain on you, and it doesn't seem to offer much benefit. The wet dreams don't help either.
Has anyone tried buying a chastity cage and giving the key to someone for nofap purposes? How effective was it?
Well, NoFap, LLC is wanting this board removed. Should we pull a gamergate and send them a ton of emails? Go on reddit and complain on /nofap/ and on complaint subreddit's / any complaint receiver and email we find? They let Voat's nofap stay up, so why are they bothering us? (I think that can be used in court). Good luck anons
I fapped 4 times in these past two days
I have no self control or willpower
How can I improve these things?
Looking at the copyright of that one company, they are saying that they have copyrighted "creating an on-line community for registered users"
Forced anonymity with ID's would solve that problem, Board owner.
Oh how the streissand effect works!
I never heard of /nofap/ before they tried to cendor it :^)
Also, I'm doing nofap seriously for the first time in a while. Thanks, /nofap/!
Why?
Alright, I was wondering why this board didn't exist yesterday, so thanks to the creator.Now, can we share why we are doing this? I mean, there are a lot of reasons, but I'm sure everyone have different ones.
>inb4 magic superpowers
What boards does /nofap/pers anonymous browse?
Starting mine today. Days left:
48
Rules:
>avoid touching for sake of arousal
>only uninduced emissions allowed
>use of living organism or object also counts as fap, unless mutual or more giving sex
That Thing
So, Anons, what's your weakness?What one thing, when you see it, almost always breaks away at your resolve?
Think about it, post it, and test your resolve by not breaking the /nofap/.
13 days so far
How's your streak?Still Master of your Domain?
So I've read the documentation, the videos, and the websites on what the benefits of me stopping to consume porn and/or masturbating to porn all the time. And I can easily see the prospect of why one would do this, especially for normalfags who are having trouble getting it up with their normy girlfriends.
But as a guy who's in the unfuckable zone, the kind of guy every girl will never have lewd thoughts about, what's the point? My risk/reward system is already addled with constant vidya and computer shit that even stopping my porn consumption wouldn't do much. An added confidence boost wouldn't help as girls would just think I'm fucking weird if I had the confidence to hit on them. And being desperate to get laid would only result in more awkward spectacles whereas pornography is pretty much a zero risk guaranteed orgasm.
Give me one reason why a person who isn't a normalfag would want this, besides a possible boost in motivation to get things done as I have no problem with that.
How do you avoid wet dreams?
I start getting the benefits and then I have a wet dream and it's like I'm back to square one
>Try to browse the nofap subreddit occasionally because this board is really slow
>Almost everyone is a complete mangina, a giant "A NOFAPPER RAPED ME HELP" blog post actually gets flooded with white knight replies
>Every thread has the feeling of a camp counselor in the rural Midwest telling me to put down my beer and get drunk on Jesus
>Insulting somebody is a bannable offense
>There's a "PANIC BUTTON" on the right of the site which loads fucking "believe in urself :^)" maymays on command
Why are most nofappers such insufferable dweebs? Is it because most of them are at all times below the 30-day count, and therefore are perpetually stuck in the low-test-beta zone?
