What’s your secret!?
2 weeks on nofap. Free daps and reps
- Thread starter Kwabena
- Start date
Simply don't watch it. Better said than done, I know. Take it one day at a time, instead of making ambitious claims like 90 days, then failing within a week
When you enter "pornhub.com" into your address bar or enter jbo with the intent of seeing "piff", acknowledge that you have no control over your primal urges

Damn, no homo, but the thing about me is I don’t even watch porn recreationally. Like no homo but let’s say I can go one day with our fapping, the next day I’ll be hard for like the whole day. Like I do it because if I don’t I’m just mad hard for the whole day. I don’t do it because I’m bored or anything, you know what I mean? And no homo x 1000
Yes, no homo. You just gotta ignore it. Think of it as a nuisance or distraction, no homo

I didn’t do it yesterday, and I just realized yesterday was July 1st. No better way to start no fap then the beginning of the month. Idk if should set my goal for 30 days or try and go a week?
Go for a week

I'm up to 68 days now, by far my longest streak in over a decade. I'm also going pornfree, not just NoFap. Kwabena's advice may work for a short period of time, but it won't be enough long term. For me, here's what's helped so far:
Good luck fellas, keep fighting!
- Eliminate triggers as best you can. This included removing social media apps from my phone, deleting browsing history, cleaning up old files and folders, removing some saved passwords for certain sites, and unfollowing Megan Thee Stallion
- Structured day. Every morning (except Sunday) I begin the day with a prayer, brief bible reading or devotional, workout.
- Education - Understand why what you're doing is harmful, even if you don't feel like it us. Learn the consequences and risks to fapping.
- Therapy/Counseling - I've brought this up with my personal counselor and talked through it some. I've also recently joined group counseling specifically for this and that's helped
- Visit online NoFap communities - I'm mainly a lurker on the nofap related subreddits, but seeing other people's struggles, strategies, and progress helps
- Don't do it alone - This is one of the hardest ones. I've had to share with a couple other people close to me what's going on. I don't have an accountability partner per se, but even the shame from admitting it helps.
- Replace it. As I sad above, just not doing it or ignoring the urges isn't going to work long term so you'll need to pick up something else to invest your thoughts and energy in. I decided I'm gonna try to read the Bible in a year and make sense of all the things that have never made sense to me or have been controversial. I also started a book discussion group about race and racism so that occupies a good chunk of my time too.
Good luck fellas, keep fighting!

Day 5, of course its only been 5 days but I haven't gotten any strong urges. Like @TheBlackDeath said I also have been praying about this and spending time getting into the Bible. Short term goal is a week, long term goal is the whole month of July.
