As we start to take NoFap seriously, and we start experiencing longer streaks, we eventually have days which seem a bit more difficult than others. Everything seems to be annoying us. Stupid people, stupid road layouts, stupid stupid stupid! Everything is stupid!!!! We have days where everything

I’m often asked the question of whether a wet dream is a relapse and my response is “it depends on what your goal is with NoFap”.

Regarding the flatline, which is just the brain saying “what do I now? Life isn’t fun anymore…”, The flatline usually happens at about week 3, 4, or 5, but these are just general trends, not laws of nature. It might not even happen for you, but if it does, it will happen after your brain has had en

There isn’t a set time frame for overcoming a fapping addiction, as it varies for each person. Some might feel in control after a few months, while others could take longer. Some delusional men can feel confident that the addiction is gone because they haven’t fapped in one month, then often that pr

I became interested in learning about spirituality from the age of 15 and have studied various different religions, philosophies, and spiritual paths since then. Spirituality can go very deep but I rarely go very deep in my NoFap coaching unless it’s necessary. I often use words like ‘God’ and ‘de

In the first week of NoFap, your brain has had little time to heal, so it’s essentially still the brain of an addict.

I’d like to share an interesting insight about succeeding with NoFap that isn't said often enough: It isn’t necessary to have a ‘sex life’ in order to quit pornography and masturbation. It’s possible to quit while being single. What will prevent you from going back to it is having a strong enoug

Since ending any engagement with pornography and masturbation, one of the most noticeable changes I have experienced is a build up of emotional energy, which can be channeled into various creative endeavors. It seems that the practice of semen retention is a gateway to allowing the body's energie

Questioner So here's a question When you get to the 90 days, is that porn addiction completely finished. Like you look at a porno and think it's disgusting Or are you always on the edge? Like if you were shown porn, then the urges are back And there's a major likelihood that you will relapse Da

After a relapse, it’s very common to have post-fap clarity of mind where we’re certain that we won’t do it again. But the issue is that this certainty tends to fade as the hours or days go by, and many people find themselves back in the craving a few days or weeks later. How can we finally put an en
