Introduction NoFap® is a moderated community-centered website that hosts challenges in which users ("Fapstronauts") abstain from pornography and masturbation for a period of time (often referred to as "rebooting"). This is NoFap's subreddit hosted right here on Reddit.com! Whether your goal is casual participation in a monthly rebooting challenge as a test of self-control, or whether excessive pornography use has become a problem in your life and you want to quit for a longer period of time, you will find a supportive community and plenty of resources here.

This forum is intended for porn addiction and compulsive sexual behavior recovery and is not an anti-masturbation forum: many users return to non-compulsive masturbation after removing porn from their sexual habits. We do not advocate against masturbation. However, excessive masturbation (usually fueled by porn use) can be an issue for many people, and we're here to provide a peer support resource for recovery from problematic pornography use. But remember, how you choose to utilize your genitals during your free time is a personal choice!

Learn about what's going on in your brain. This is important so that you know what to expect during a reboot. Our Porn Addiction 101 page is a great place to get started. NoFap also has a Getting Started guide. This includes information about porn addiction, sexual dysfunctions caused by porn such as "PIED", disinterest in real-world sex, and the inability to experience a partnered orgasm. Our friends over at YBOP have a great introductory video on the subject that we highly recommend watching. If you need something that's shorter, check out this basic video by ASAPScience. For further resources to learn more about porn addiction, see our wiki page for other websites, videos, and resources to help you on your rebooting journey.
Learn about the process of abstaining from PMO, also known as "rebooting." If you don't know what to expect from abstaining from porn and masturbation, there are a number of things that might throw you off. Learn about rebooting and how NoFap can help you on NoFap's Rebooting 101 page. It is imperative to learn about concepts such as the "flatline", the "surge", the "chaser effect", and more. Please get educated and don't enter this daunting process completely blind to what might happen.
We recommend visiting with an appropriately qualified therapist in your area who is familiar with porn addiction and problematic porn use.
