Fuck this drug, I can’t escape it. God help me.
Hey, I'm 12 days In and I was wondering if it's really that bad if I go watch movies with many romances scenes / nudes scenes ? Is it like relapsing ? I'm not watching movies all days at all but sometimes Idk I just like it, Is it bad ? Thanks everyone
NSFW and spoiler flairs because this topic may be triggering for some, idk.
I haven't seen it being talked about much around here so I decided to speak up. For the last three years or so, due to the sophistication of generative models, two scary dangerous activities involving AI have become very available, NSFW AI chatbots (which already existed, but not as refined as they are now) and AI porn generation. This is orders of magnitude worse than regular porn by the fact it can perfectly align with one's cravings or, specifically with the chatbots, serve as a loophole to maintain contact with porn.
I'm not here to judge those who talk with chatbots in general because there are tons of actually cool ones which can provide safe fun and role-playing, but it's addicting. And because of that, for those who are trying to quit porn, the NSFW ones may hit like a truck and get them to sext with AI's for hours. Nowadays, most chatbot websites only require you to sign in and you can talk for as long as you want with hundreds of thousands of SFW and NSFW chatbots without paying a cent. The loophole here is that you're most likely not watching porn (or maybe you are, because some of them have image generation), but you're still satisfying your lust in a way. You're still cheating yourself by sexting with bots which will fulfill your fantasies without questioning. I strongly suggest treating it as a relapse if you ever come across it.
AI porn is even worse. It's made-to-order porn, and the sophistication of AI's made them cheap and devilishly good at fulfilling the task. Like the chatbots, most of the porn generators only require you to sign up and you can generate porn as you want, usually for free. Can you fathom the danger behind this? Something that can, in seconds, create a porn image or video of your immediate craving? This is scary dangerous for those trying to quit. And just how regular porn has its "dark side" (because it's already disgusting by itself) of frequently exploiting women, search it up and you'll find AI is being used to make porn of real people, even minors (!) without their consent. This is criminal and disgusting.
In conclusion, AI porn is dangerous, and it's going to get worse due to its growing availability and sophistication. NSFW chatbots might get you to cheat on yourself by keeping contact with porn without the imagery, and the image gen is made-to-order porn ready to fulfill your lust. It's a hard time for those trying to quit, and it will get worse. Whatever you do, stay away from AI porn. Don't even peek at it. You're not afraid enough. Stay strong and don't give up on your journey.
I'm autistic and it's hard for me to be motivated in things, even the things I like and want to do. But I guess with porn and other sexual stuff, the reward is immediate.
I remember once I stayed up all night just listening to erotic ASMR audios and I realized that I've never really done that before. Even when I'm watching a movie I'm really enjoying late into the night if I get tired I just have to stop. But I never stopped this time. I wasn't even trying to go to sleep either. Im just so frustrated and really just disgusted with my self. I just feel like such a pervert I guess and it makes me depressed to know porn is one of the things I can happily spend hours on but not the things I really want to do...
sorry if I just posed it I used the wrong account. Don't want this affiliated with my main account
I didn't expect Day 2 to feel this damn loud. My head keeps throwing random images at me and it's honestly annoying as hell. Every few hours my brain starts bargaining, saying just one last time, then I can quit for real. I know it's bullshit, but the urge still feels real. I keep catching myself reaching for old habits before i even realise what i'm doing.
I'm already tired of arguing with my own mind. Part of me wants to give in just to make the noise stop, and another part knows I'll hate myself right after. It's only been two days but it feels longer, not gonna lie. If anyone else has been through this stage, how did it feel
I'm a 20M been addicted to porn for 7-8 years as far as i remember and it messed my brain growing up doing it thru all of my teenage and developing years, managed to quit for a few months here and there but i always somehow fall back into it,
I'm muslim and would say a lil religious and the guilt never really leaves me
thats other than the struggle with confidence, how i view women, brain fog and all the other things that comes with porn addiction.
Since its pretty hard for a lot of us to open up to our friends or family about it to help us out i was looking to see if there is someone who is in a situation like this and willing to chat and try to go thru it together, motivating each other and celebrating every mile stone we cross
Boyfriend addicted to porn and live chats, dating sites. Its hard for me to understand how its easy for him to tell they are sexy, hot, beautiful, cute, or just damn!! But with me when I ask him to tell me what he's physically attracted to about me its more basic like my personality or all of me never my boobs or my smile or he just gets hard thinking about me. I know most wo.en would appreciate the respectfulness of his answer. I know though initially he wasn't attracted to me and I pursued him. Im not his type compared to last girlfriends. But he refuses to break up swearing he loves me but can't have sex anymore with me and as much as he's " trying to quit" whenever he has the opportunity to do it with anything else he does. Then he says he wants to but gives me excuses. Why does he keep me in this web if he's not sexually attracted to me and doesn't even have sex with me. He just keeps telling me he is and he's just f@#king used to it and its so hard to change it. That the hour one time a week in therapy ain't helping and he wants to stop he needs my help. But I feel like he just knows I will be here always. We don't have kids, not married and we rarely if ever have sex anymore. Why won't he walk away. Why do I feel like if I do Im letting him down on the progress he is making. I am asking for other guys who have been there or are willing to let me know what your take is on this. Please no rude comments. Im truly trying to understand if its the addiction or control. Thanks in advance.
27 days ever since I last relapsed!!,gf is proud and so am I!,if anyone out there is thinking about giving up please think about all the people that are cheering you on!!!,do not let anyone or anything take away your determination and your perseverance to do better!!!,and if it feels like there’s no one there to cheer you on,well I am!!! *YOU CAN DO THIS!*
Hello everyone I am sad to say I slipped up and started searching for stuff. I am disappointed in myself for doing it. But now I know that it is possible for me to go for a while without porn. I am not letting the relapse get to me, I stopped right away and became more stricter on my routines. I think taking a break from being active on these communities and less reading caused the slip but it could’ve been other things. I hope you guys can continue your streaks or start your streak! I won’t lose hope! It’s actually exciting to get back into this once again. My brain is trying its hardest to squeeze more content though so I have been busy moving around and occupying myself with other activities to prevent another slip up. Thank you for reading and motivating me!
They always say on the internet, "Oh, if you wait for Monday or the 1st of the month to start, you’re bound to fail! Real operators start immediately!"
Well, I picked June 1st. I drew a hard line in the sand, and today is July 1st. A full calendar month is officially locked in the vault. 726 hours clean. For context, prior to this, I had cleared 7 days many times (as I posted here on Day 8), but this time I knew I had to actually change my life.
Here is the exact data breakdown of how the last 30 days actually looked on the ground:
My Biggest Takeaway: It does not matter when you start; it only matters that you do not stop.
To everyone in this community who provides the daily reminders and motivation—thank you. The 30-day vault is sealed. But an operator doesn't drop his weapons at the finish line. We recalibrate the sights immediately.
Next target: 35 Days (840 Hours).
Like those of you whos partner or past partner was cool with you in shooting sex video scenes together. Do you keep and rewatch those videos? or did you decide to delete everything altogether?
I have this urge to reset my phone if I download too much porn. What do people make of this? Does anyone else do this?
I guess I do it because 1) I want to clean and clear myself from my porn usage 2) I hope after resetting my phone I will never download it again 3) I don't want anyone to discover the porn I downloaded because it's embarrassing.
I was four days clean, about 20 minutes from five days, and I caved. I was horny, I didn’t know what to do, I’m panicking. I need help but I’m too scared and embarrassed to ask. So I’m turning to whoever is reading this, please help.
It's been one year I'm doing NoFap, and despite my motivation, the good habits I've taken (no social media, daily workout, cold showers, harder work, etc.), I still give in to most urges, and I can't hold more than 2-3 days. It's really demoralizing, and even though I will never give up, I feel hopeless, like if I'll be stuck in this situation forever.
Do you guys have advice or ideas to help me ? Thanks

I (29m) started this challange about 6 month ago and relapsed multiple times. I have been consuming porn for almost 15 years. my previous record was 26 days. I was determined to achive day 90 before i turn 30. this time my friend (31f) joined me on this path and stopped fapping too. we are doing this together this time. she has experienced quitting porn years ago and ever since she rarely does it. the first 10 days was a nonstop hell to be honest. the pressure of failing was so much more this time. Its a blessing and a curse at the same time to know someone is doing this with you. day 10 to 30 was a little better. the urges got less frequent but we faced some problems that were not in our control. We live in iran and there are bad news everywhere. Right now we are at the middle of a war and there is internet blackout. I was barely able to connet after 60 days of not having internet. if it wasn't for my friend i Guess i would have relapsed on the first 10 days this time tbh.
On day 80 i had my first ever wet dream in my life.
On day 90 we celebrated. She told me that she is determined to continue but it's ok if i masterbate. She told me until the war is over, i can do it but only if i do it controlled. For example once a week or something like that. She said after the war is over we can continue this path but its ok to control it till that day. She asked me not to tell her if i did it. On that day I watched porn for some minutes and touched myself but i stopped. My birthday was coming and i wanted to at least wait until then. (It would be day 130). I told her I'm still in and she got happy and supports my decision. Unfortunately On day 120 she faced some health issues and told me she can't do this anymore. I don't blame her. She saved me by being on my side till day 120. So now it's only me. I have been single ever since i was born in a religious family so although it's not impossible but having a partner and experiencing sex is not that much of an option rn for me. unless i Get married which is not financially possible. i live in iran and the economy sucks. Also the daily news are making it harder to stay on path. she told me that my urges are coming from my addiction and it's diffrent after i quit but since i never have experienced anything sexual exept porn i have no idea to be honest.
After 134 days and no bright future, i am considering masterbating but on a controlled schedule. I feel alot different from my earlier days. I have tasted being in control and i don't like to lose it now. On one hand i think i need to do this because my body deserve some rest but on the other hand i am so afraid of doing it and i don't know why tbh. I was about to do it last night but I didn't.
Update:
It's day 188 and I haven't masturbated yet. I have seen porn again 2 ir 3 times but thankfully I could stop myself before it's too late. I genuinely don't recoment this to anyone. I couldn't decide yet what to do for the upcoming days. Its been almost 6 months sincemy last orgasm. If i want to be so hard on myself i might have to consider my porn wathings relapse but idk. I fear not being trapped in the cycle again. I haven't experienced masturbating without porn in my life so I have no idea whether should i consider it or not. I have experienced wed dreams on day 80 but not any more ever since!
It's so much harder if you don't have a partner and you don't see any clear future to have one.
