Monthly Motivation Thread NoFap's "Onward October" or "PMO-Free October" 2026 - continue or begin your PMO-Free journey here (see instructions).

17 Upvotes

Hello all,

It's that time of the month again! One month is ending, and another is beginning. We hope you've had a good month. But if you haven't, now is a great time to refocus and rededicate yourself to recovery. This is your opportunity to create the new porn-free you!

This month's theme is "onward". Always looking forward, doing something every day to direct your steps in a positive direction, towards your version of sexual health and the person you want to be. Yes, many times we fail and it feels like we take a step backward. That will happen. What's important is that we are facing the right direction and continuing to push ourselves forward, despite the setbacks. Keep moving onward, everyone.

New to NoFap and rebooting? Here are some suggestions:

  • Learn about the website, porn addiction, excessive masturbation, sexual compulsivity, and abstaining from PMO. Read through NoFap's main website to get informed.
  • Read about the basics of rebooting here. Rebooting is the abstinence from certain sexual behaviors to recover from pornography addiction. Read about how porn addiction develops here. Some people go beyond rebooting and into the territory of retention, or sexual transmutation for periods of time, although that is not the main purpose of this subreddit (which is RECOVERY).
  • Consider reading through the free Getting Started PDF from NoFap's website.
  • Download NoFap's in-browser panic button extension that blocks NSFW subreddits too. Download here
  • Decide if rebooting is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to the next point.
  • Sign up for this month by replying to this submission. It is that simple. State your intention and stick to it!
  • Consider setting up a day counter badge to track your progress.
  • Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Set a goal to remain accountable by making a post daily. Help others. Come here every day and participate.
  • If you need additional support, you can get an accountability partner and document your progress in a daily rebooting journal.

Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.

  • Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is called "hard mode".
  • How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting.
  • What are your goals?
  • Why are you doing this?

Arriving late? (past the first of the month?)

It's okay! Still state your intentions and don't postpone rebooting based on the day of the month. People can join in at any time to participate.

Happy Meme-Free Friday!

467 Upvotes

Every Friday we restrict images just for the day to give people a chance to submit more text-based, thoughtful content. Many members have asked for a temporary break from the popular image based content that usually fills up the Hot page, so as a compromise between those who enjoy memes and those who do not, we've decided to restrict image-based content for one day of the week. That's today. Images will return tomorrow, on Saturday. Hope you enjoy your meme-free Friday here at r/NoFap!

Keep on recovering!

F21 here - I’ve had 2 relationships ruined by porn addicted exes in different ways. I wanted to say I’m proud of all of you, and your future partners will be grateful for what you’re going through. Porn addiction was a result of the world you’re raised in, not your own shortcomings

And your efforts to reclaim yourself will make you a better man than you’ll ever be.

If you wanna talk to a female as a friend, not an object of desire, my DMs are open.

Reaching out For Help

12 Upvotes

46 years old. Bottom line is I have struggled for over 33+ years. I was able to stop drinking and smoking weed but I cant stop pornography and masturbation. Ive tried everything from blockers, nofap (previously), religion, self accountability, and briefly therapy. NOTHING HAS WORKED. I keep spending money on cam sites and my wife doesnt know. HELP.  I dont know where else to turn. I am a God fearing man and try to trust God's plan but when I fail to my sin and addiction I lose faith in myself. I joined a different reddit but my post was removed because they do not believe in no masturbation just no pornography. This left me feeling hurt and confused. I only want to find people that are trying to stop both like me or have and can assist me on my journey. Sorry if this isn't allowed.

Day 1

• Upvotes

Trying again after a long struggle — need advice from those who made it out.

Today is my Day 1. I’ve decided to try once again to overcome my addiction to porn and masturbation. I’ve been fighting this for a long time, but so far, I haven’t succeeded. I've tried multiple approaches—website blockers, various techniques—but none of them have worked for me in the long term.

I finally gathered the courage to make this post. I’m hoping to connect with people who managed to break free from this after struggling for a long time. If you have any practical advice, solid tips, (feel free to DM me if you prefer).

I plan to post updates and share my thoughts here as I make progress. Thank you all in advance.

Is something wrong with me for not feeling horny at all anymore? (Day 120)

9 Upvotes

Ive been on no fap for 4 months today. Since the last couple of weeks I'd say since like day 80 I feel like my libido (horniness) dropped absurdly low. I don't feel like horny at all. To a point where I think that even if a naked girl spawned in my bed I wouldn't do anything. This may be an exaggeration but something like that. Honestly this feels bad and super weird. Has anyone experienced this? Does it go away and will my libido go back to normal? This is making me rethink this whole nofap thing, because yeah the porn addiction was also terrible but atleast I felt human and it was proof my dick Is working, now I think somethings wrong with me. Could I be just attracted to porn? Is that a thing? Honestly maybe I'm overthinking this but let me know what you think

Question Fantasizing about older women

2 Upvotes

Ive never tried to stop masturbating, I know it’s normal to be a horny teenager, but these past few weeks i noticed Ive been fantasizing more often and i noticed they’ve gotten increasingly strange.
A few weeks ago I got my penis examined for the first time by a female nurse, and since then ive been fantasizing about older women (not her in specific) taking advantage of me? The part that gives me a boner is not the sexual act but the fact that shes an adult and im just barely a high schooler. Is this a normal thing I’ll get over, or am I developing some weird reverse pedophilia kink or something? Should I stop masturbating?


r/NoFap • • 2h ago

Do the hard work, especially when you don't feel like it.

2 Upvotes

I'm staying strong even though I feel discouraged. I did everything right: I woke up early, went to the gym, took cold showers, avoided social media, did breathing exercises, cleaned my house, cooked, and spent quality time with my family. But I feel like connecting with people; I think that's what I'm missing. One of the reasons I started this was for that reason—to improve my desire to socialize. And although it's noticeable, there are still difficult days when I feel sad and don't want to talk to anyone. An important reason I started this was to make more friends, and in the future, to have a healthy romantic relationship. I'm at the point in NoFap where I still want to masturbate, but it doesn't fulfill me anymore. I want to be with a real woman, someone tangible and real. But the only reason I want that is for sex, because I don't want a serious relationship right now. At the same time, my head tells me it's not worth pursuing because it's so superficial. I don't know what to do. If anyone reads this, I'd appreciate your advice. Blessings.

Everybody talks about it, everybody suggests it, but does it ACTUALLY help you not give into urges? And if so, how?
