How I Was Able To Quit PMO 2018-2025 (4+ months celibate)
This is going to be REALLY long but if you're serious about quitting I hope my post will help you.
PART 1 MY STORY
I remember discovering masturbation the summer before 10th grade when I was 15 years old (2018). When that happened I remember feeling pleasure but also an underlaying feeling of guilt and shame. Even at the beginning whenever I would do PMO something just felt off about it, but regardless I would become addicted to the feeling. Jerking off just became a habit that I did everyday. It doesn't help that mainstream health says it's "normal". During this period my social life in high school declined with seemingly worse social abilities than before.
I would jerk off to all sorts of crap usually anime girls or pictures/videos of women in swimsuits or underwear (softcore stuff like on social media). I never got into the hardcore stuff like most guys have. Even at this low point in my life I thought (and still think) that porn sex looks really gross and stupid. I never saw the appeal of seeing another dudes junk and watching sex.
But yeah, back when I was jerking off all the time I could not talk to a girl to save my life. Masturbation killed all that drive and motivation to find a mate. When I look back I get a little disappointed because there was so many cute girls at my school haha. But it's all good no point in dwelling in the past I'm just trying to get my story out.
I've done a lot of stupid stuff. I remember having a crush on my 11th grade english teacher, staring at her body, and then jerking off in the porta potty next to the classroom (I remember doing that several times). Bruh, and then I would just walk back into class like nothing even happened. In 2020 when I was 17 (and really alone), I installed Instagram and would stalk girls from my school and send them really creepy messages (I would always get ignored though or blocked immediately hahaha). I would do a LOT and I mean a LOT of gooning on Instagram and especially Tiktok to girls in bikinis and stuff (bruh I sound like such a loser but it's the truth). But in November 2022 something changed. In 2022 I decided to take No Nut November Seriously. I lasted 9 days. Then I went back to my old habits.
However, at some point in early 2023 is when I finally discovered Nofap (20 years old). It's about time! I watched a lot of guys talking about the practice, but the one who stood out the most was IceCold JT. What a legend. Thank you man. But yeah I started journaling in a notebook in April 2023 about various life things and Nofap/SR progression. My streaks began weak (3-7 days long) but as I gained more knowledge from youtube and other sources I started being able to go 2 weeks. I would still mess up and PMO sometimes but I made a vow to quit this stuff once and for all. I would journal a lot during this time writing down a lot during the post nut clarity of relapse. I continued making progress and in 2024 I would experience 1-2 month long streaks. I would continue educating myself during the year (I still do now haha) and into 2025.
2025 is the year when I really started to figure this shit out (I'm 22 as of now). I relapsed significantly less this year compared to 2023 and 2024. I begin really noticing the benefits of abstinence/semen retention. The last time a relapsed/nutted consciously was someday in the middle of July. It felt so terrible but gave me the conviction to never do it again. As of November 15, 2025 I've gone 4 months celibate with the occasional wet dream/nocturnal omission. In fact the last time I had a wet dream was in September so I've been holding in my nuts for a while! I'm feeling awesome! And so can you! In part 2 I'm going to tell you the key tips/mindset to be able to retain for good.
PART 2
4 KEY TIPS FOR SR SUCCESS
1: Ditching The Spectator Mindset and Becaming A PARTICIPATOR
When you are masturbating to some kind of material you are putting yourself into the position of spectator. You are looking at something and gaining pleasure by touching yourself. If the porn scene was happening in your room, YOU would just be in the CORNER touching yourself observing like a LOSER. In life you do NOT want to be a spectator. You want to be a PARTICIPATOR!!! This translates to many things in life. Do you want to WATCH your friends and people on social media succeed while you stagnate? Do you want to BE the guy having sex with the beautiful girl? Don't you want to BE the guy who has an enriching life? Don't rot away while watching other people succeed getting what you want! You gotta take control of your own life and use others as fuel/motivation to reach your highest self.
2: It's just glass bro
Okay this next tip my sound stupid but here me out. Instead of engaging with a living, breathing, ALIVE woman you're touching YOURSELF while looking at GLASS. A FLAT SCREEN. PIXELS!!!! I don't give a fuck how "hot" the jpeg or mp4 is, at the end of the day it's fucking GLASS! An inanimate object!!! I want a REAL WOMAN not a piece of glass or pixels. Does this make sense? If you jerk off to your phone or computer (like I used to) it's like your in a relationship with GLASS. Do you know how stupid that sounds!? The only suitable partner for a MAN is a WOMAN. A real one that's alive, you can talk to, touch, and everything else that comes with a real human. I KID YOU NOT if I'm looking at a hot girl on my screen I just tell myself "I don't give a fuck how hot this girl is it's just glass" my urge goes away.
3: THIS IS YOUR LIFE FORCE ENERGY BRO DON'T WASTE IT
Watch any video on SR and they will tell you how vital this energy is. And it's true. My favorite SR YouTuber right now is this guy named Rin2. https://www.youtube.com/@rinposted/videos WATCH HIS VIDEOS!!! I'm not going to go into Depth about the benefits. I want YOU TO EXPERIENCE THEM YOURSELF. I'm a 22 year old virgin with no experience with girls but at this point I don't really care. It's true that I want to experience love, intimacy, and the power of feminine energy but I'm in no rush. When I find a woman that I really like I'll continue SR and use my energy to make a baby or 2 at some point.
PS. Don't count days. Make the days count. This is a lifestyle not some one time challenge
Journaling/Meditation really helps. Message me if you have additional questions or need help.
