How I Conquered NoFap (My NoFap Hack) 

Yeah as a Christian and really struggling with this as a 16 year old I just tried to make it not a big deal but I slipped into a lot of depression and anxiety. Praying and reading the Bible and trying to stay more present in the moment and the dopamine detox are what saved me bro. Glad somebody is making content on this and not just lying and saying it’s fine like everyone told me growing up

One of the most encouraging things for me is seeing all the guys who are going through the exact same stuff I am. It's nice to see how many people are in the trenches with me, trying to fight the same thing, and hearing their stories of how they've overcome strong temptations. I'm currently on the longest streak I've ever been on since I discovered fapping and looking to keep it up

The level of guilt and disappointment one feels after breaking a no fap streak is indescribable.

I hadn’t fapped to porn since I was 17. I’m 19 now and just did it again two days ago. Man this sucks, but it’s not about the streak, it’s about the mindset. We’re all going to make it brahs!!

I really hope a lot of young adults/teens see this. As someone who has struggled with mental health. Everything Kenny has talked about are things my THERAPISTS have told me to do. I strongly suggest that everyone take meditation out of this and implement it every day for at least 5-10min.

Killer story, man. Thank you for the transparency. Super similar situation when I was in my early 20’s. Awesome to see you understanding this so early in life. 🤘🏼

I have never related this much to a youtube video. As a 20yo , the gym made video games worthless for the past 2 years . But NoFap is still a failure. I keep losing to those moments of adrenaline. But I have never ever meditated once in my life. I'm sincerely going to try. Thank you for sharing this with us bro.

As a recovering addict of 21 years, I can tell you with absolute certainty that you can do this. It hurts, it's uncomfortable and stressful but just on the other side of all of that lies peace and prosperity. Stay strong, stay focused, and be honest with yourself and you will succeed. The biggest help for me was Mark Queppet and his Reforge Man course.

Had a rekindling of my faith. I was never especially religious but recently have really been having a tough time and God seemed to call me back. I felt like such a hypocrite because I wanted to grow more in faith and principle yet I was stuck in this self destructive cycle of porn and masturbation which would overall just kill what little confidence and productivity I had. I started listening to Gregorian chant music, closing my eyes and just meditating. I gave up porn and masturbation in September of this year and haven't relapsed once, I started exercising every day for the first time in my life and have kept that up since early October, I stopped eating bread and sugary drinks, and I'm eating less of things I know are detrimental to my health and weight. I'm slowly gaining confidence and self-control. I'm going to turn my life around and it can all be traced back to giving up the curse of porn and masturbation. Brothers, we can all do this. I'm still growing and I've still got a lot of work to do but if you're miserable just know that you're not struggling alone and you have the strength to resist these urges and move on to more important things in life. I believe in you.

I needed this! I've almost relapsed a couple times during this NNN challenge but I want to beat the challenge this year cuz ive always failed. I'm definitely gonna try meditating now, ty

I've started meditated and found it great, not just for no fap, but for like life in general

hey i actually share a lot of your story. through my teenage years i was really into videogames and even though my parents would tell me not to play, my brain couldn't process how bad of a habit it is. last year i realized how much TIME i wasted playing (thousands of hours) and it hit me really hard. i haven't touched any game whatsoever for a year and it feels really good, for as porn i've been in nofap for a while now (2-3 months) and the benefits are that it gives far more energy and motivation to exercise, work, study, hobbies, etc. spreading the message is by far the most important thing to do, i told some of the "friends" i used to play with online, they didn't listen to me.. and the other day one of them calls me in tears of joy how quitting porn & videogames changed his life (he was on a streak of 5 months). these habits we were imposed in recent years are poison and deviate ourselves from our lifetime plan hope many more guys wake up. cheers hope you read the entire message lol

I had the exact same problem, saw the exact same Matt di'Avela video, started meditating and started my no fap journey. It is very brave to talk about this issue. Thank you. I wish more people acknowledged masturbation as the dangerous addiction it is.

its been almost 2 weeks nofap .. going stronger than before

currently started, and i like to imagine its a real war, and im fighting the worst enemy possible. it helps me focus and hypes me up to fight the urge and it does work for me. thanks for this video. it really motivated me.

"Anaconda really messed me up" Summed up my life at 14 years old Mess everywhere. Messy attitude, messy lifestyle, messy mindset, messy everything was messy. Cut that trash out at 15 because I was a wild young man constantly getting into fights, shouting at students in school, participating in sports. Not even thinking about fapping and made fun about the idea of fapping is for losers. To only fall into that trap again at 16 lol. It's a lesson really. Discipline.

During quarantine I learned all about it and conquered it, got a girlfriend for the first time and all was good. Then i spent too much time with her which led to me spiraling down the rabbit hole of losing my self-improvement journey and no longer being nofap. College started, struggled a bunch and was pretty aimless with my life. Now it’s my sophomore year of college, I’ve picked a major that I’m able to handle and not one that’s too easy or too hard, I’m in the gym almost everyday, listening to productive podcasts, eating healthier than ever but still not perfect, but the one thing I’m focusing on fixing now is being back on NoFap and hopefully finding a girlfriend again but this time a much healthier relationship where I set boundaries and continue to focus on myself. Seeing this video has inspired me to want to focus on mediating once I am able to be NoFap again, and then start reading daily again. A lot of rambling but this video really hit home for me cuz I can relate so much to the story told. Stay strong men, we need to support each other in these times!

It's crazy how all of us could have been (and could still be) so much more meaningful and confident without these things...

As a muslim, I swear when you said Meditation, immediately I associated it with praying. Recently I’ve been actually taking my time when doing the daily 5 mandatory prayers. It changed everything. Thanks for this reminder.

Guys i want to add to anyone that tries to get off any addiction be it chemical,physical,psychological etc. Meditation will really help you! And kudos to Ken for bringing it up. But another really great tool is controlled breathing and cold showers. And yes you do them together. The timing you do them is every time you consiously feel that you will be stressed from an activity,overthink or anything that will make you relapse. Dont overanalyze it. Take your clothes,go under cold water,take that shower,and breath. Create your own breathing tempo and breath. From nose to the stomach and back. If you have that habit (because it is a habit) it will break (in time) your bad one. You basically exchange one controlled habit with an uncontrollable one. Ofc i could type about the positives of cold showers,breathing,mindfullness etc. But just wanted to you give you an out and to motivate you to keep going! We all fail,and when we do we fell that the plan is the problem. But most of the times it is just the steps. Glad if i could help! P.S. if you are at work and cant take the shower,do this instead. Take 2 minutes go to the bathroom and put cold water on your face,then breath and then again for about 2 minutes. Just think about breathing. You will reset your mind. Good luck broskis!

What you said in a recent video about changing the mindset from tracking the days to “this is me now. I don’t do that” has helped me

thank you for making this video. this is something i've been struggling with my whole adult life, and never really saw it as an issue until recently.

Needed this bro God sent youre thankyou its day 6 now and tbf ive tried retaining like 20 times but ive never felt so strong i know i will never relapse now unless it with my Girl ygm❤stay strong people you control you

After watching this video, I no joke have been inspired to better myself. It is amazing how a 5 minute video can do so much to the mind of someone locked into a never ending cycle, and I don't know how the youtube algorithm knew I needed this, but holy shit, I needed this.

I told my addiction to my girlfriend, it was the best thing I did to be honest. Never fapped again, uninstalled all social media apps and started going to the gym. Although I was really ashamed, to be honest telling someone my addiction was the best thing I did

Honestly, ever since like 4th grade I’ve been stuck in the same spot of this bad habit, I’m glad I’m finally learning how to fight back (and actually seeing some success) thanks for this advice, god bless. 🙏

I haven’t done anything for a good while now Thank the lord I was able to stop Wasn’t easy but if I can do it anyone else can!!

bro fr, love these type of videos, underated asf

I am late to this, but I can totaly relate to your journey, except I'm currently back into my bad habits days. After struggling with video games an P I have experienced total mindfulness for around 1 year after fighting my addiction and starting a journal to help me detach myself from all my urges. It was the best period of my life and I never knew it could be so great. Sadly my motivation decayed overtime and I've now lost all the progress I've made, but with the memories of how good it can be.

This video just made me realize that whenever I try doing something at my present moment I am not focused on it nor I can focus on my studies or educational videos nor am I fully able to talk to my inner self because whenever I am doing that I am constantly thinking of some other thing if not then there is some voice in my head constantly telling me that there are people around you judging you and looking down on you that just don't let me do anything at my full potential. I think I am most productive when I am alone. Being alone helps me get rid of some burdens from my head. Sorry if it sounds weird but that's just me. But now there is something in this video that hit my head that just make me conscious about the whole world I think. From now on I am going to change some things in my life. I think it will make me change who I am.

I was only 12 when I was exposed… I’m 15 and been on self improvement for 7 months, and been working out for 1 year.

The mind is a hella powerful tool that can dictate your reality. You are not your thoughts you are the observer of them

I can't even make it past day one. Each time I keep telling myself that it'll be the last one. This is my third day trying to just finish day one, and I've already failed. I feel horrible, and even cried at one point because it feels impossible. Just recently started too. I feel like I've failed the Lord. Edit: I am currently on an ongoing 15 day streak. I've had extremely strong urges but have fought all of them off. It's truly magical, like something ignited inside of me, and I haven't felt this content in my life.

My no-fap really started after a very, very bad date. I've been catfished at least 4 times and I thought "Why do I do these things? Why do I watch all this bs? Why dating apps?" After thinking really hard about it, I gave myself a challenge: To control myself and suppress my urges. Also to study lol. It's been a month. It's hard but it's necessary

Well done bro, thank you for being open.

Lost a 8 Months streak, it really sucks. But i'll get back to the grind

I thought for sure this was going to be another "No fap increased my testosterone" "No fap increased my iq" No fap made me 97% stronger" videos. Glad you went down the route of porn being awful for your brain and not that other B.S.

It's really awesome that you got that footage of the Brain yourself, and not from istock. That must have been a challenge!

Remember guys everyone learns at different pace we all have different circumstances but we have to do only one thing....Laser Focus. Just try to be consistent in your efforts. Failures are stepping stones. One day you will make it out of this trench.

I'm on day 43. You can do this guys. Never give up.

Thank you so much for this video. Keep spreading the message ❤

WHY I dominate no Fap: *Restrictions* No social media (besides RU-vid) , no excessive amount of video games , no explicit music , no pornography , *Solutions* I workout everyday , I talk to women, I meditate , I journal , I'm self aware. You see no fap isn't just a challenge , it's an ability us men should have in our lifestyle. Edit: I have relapsed during no fap a few times , no one is perfect.

i had been on nofap for 3 months. i wouldn't say it didn't help but i might have felt proud for going this long. but i didnt gain energy, or strength or confidence. i was never addicted btw. i am always controlled. but i always had to do it before a workout, it gives me motivation. i just basically feel guilt and guilt turns into motivation. i am totally against it religious wise. that's why i stopped for 3 months. but i could say i am very proud i have come this far. but i didn't gain confidence. which was a bummer for me. i really wanted to boost my self esteem and confidence. but in those 3 months i was consistent with the gym. so basically the Pros Are - you dont rely on short term pleasure instead you look for big achievements. even if they are easy to do. Cons are - results werent as great as expected

very sufi-like, good for you my friend and good job for spreading the message.

Quiting is the easy part. Keeping going and being productive is the hardest. Also just lock up your phone. It really takes out the urges.

Commenting to help push this in the algorithm. Thanks for sharing this important message.

NNN gave me a good excuse to start my journey, and I'm looking to further develop myself into a better version of myself

Fapping is healthy however addiction isn’t. Don’t get it twisted gentlemen

This man pixelating all the triggers means he actually understands and went through it. I'm subsiding. This man actually went though this hell. Edit: was looking through newer videos and noticed video thumbnails that were provocative but not blurred. Man please don't do this. Think if you are actually helping young guys with this. I understand that there might be more traffic this way, however, if you are trying to help guys maybe try to focus on ones that are already on the right path. Don't stray off blurring triggers in thumbnails it shows that you care. And I for one just found you, I don't want to click (not interested) on your videos just because they have some ass.

I'm so glad to see people are starting to realize the insane damage that pornography has done to our generation, I'm struggling but God willing I will break free soon as well 💪

Not joking, I started trying to stop around 6 weeks ago, I finally hit a 14 day streak and let’s go I feel insane, I’m trying to just keep moving, the trick for me is filling my time in with positive things

Everybody doing nofap should specifically meditate on the amazing sensations that occur in your brain when temptation arises. The curious mix of emotions, tingling, hot and cold, the feeling of fullness, etc should be enjoyed as part of the male experience. Forgive these things and hug them because that’s what it feels like to heal your brain. Plus it takes so long to find this valuable state and it’s sooo easy to slip and destroy it. “Resisting” is silly. Enjoy every minute 🙂

I didn’t know you had these kind of values I literally have only seen your bulking vid glad I sub

Painfully relatable. You give great advice for younger dudes. Good shit man

As a young adult, I struggle w/ this too, but I also feel attacked by the video game part..Video games in my downtime is my hobby and I don't want to change that as long as you don't neglect other important responsibilities. That doesn't make me a loser but you make it seem like it's a bad thing. Also, I just got a girlfriend and I don't want her to find out. I'm using her to help motivate me to fight the urge to watch and overcome the addiction. Do it for her but mostly for myself. She seems like a mature, and nice girl and I don't want to loose her. It's hard to find good woman in this world nowadays. I need all the motivation and help I can get if you're reading this.

So helpful and honest and smart! Great job thank you ! Will run with your advice!

I've survived 14 days of NNN still going strong hopefully I can complete 30 days hopefully for yall that doing it too keep going and don't fail you can do this let's goooooo

Thank you so much for making this helpful video. I've been struggling to quit binging junk food. I've always tried to do this and then I feel uncomfortable, I'll tell myself that I'll eat junk food one more time, and then I'll quit it forever but I couldn't. But now I know that I don't have to identify with every thought and emotion in my head, convincing me to do these things one more time. I will try to meditate for at least 15 minutes every day from now on. I feel scared, actually, I burst into tears cause I am afraid that I will never get out of this cycle. Today, October 21st is my birthday, and I found your video thanks to the algorithm. It is the most needed gift I've ever received. P/s: Sorry if I make any grammar mistakes. Best wishes from Viet nam.

Thank you RU-vid algorithm. Great content. Needed to hear this. Thank you :)

yo kenny, i know the video is about 7 months old now, but i just saw it and needed to tell you that it helps me a lot getting through a hard time. They way youre conveying your message is funny and impressively admonishing at the same time. Thanks buddy!

I am from Ukraine and grew up in a religious family, besides, the issue of masturbation is simply not customary to raise in our society, it is considered something uncultured. I am extremely glad that RU-vid recommendations picked you up for me about a month ago, and now I'm back to thank you and subscribe)

Good shit brotha, pmo is soul crushing.

I documented 30 days of my No-Fap Journey Week by week and this is what helped me: 1. Having a Whiteboard calendar where I cross off dates of successful dates. 2. Accountability partner: I message him every day: Ex Day 5- Successful 3. Practicing Sexual Transmutation: Meditation, Working out, School Work 4. Controlling Urges: Being social (Talking to some people ) and starting Pushups 5. Putting good habits in place: Ex. Reading before sleeping.

right on ty for reminding me to get back to my martial arts meditation

Totally agree on meditation. Personally for a long time i was just trying to concentrate on my breath but never progressed with that technique. Since some times, i really try to be conscious of my thoughts and to just let them evaporate. And then just waiting for another random thought to come and again, just let it evaporate. It's what works the best with me. Also, when you have a moment of distraction and maybe you take your phone or get up or anything, don't let it ruin your session. You always can seat back et continue it. It's not like you lost everything just by having a lack of concentration during 1 minute (personnaly i use a chronometer and don't give up the session before 15 minutes at least, even if i used my phone by the time)

I have exactly similar story. I quit watching porn but I'm still struggling with fapping. You are brave and courageous to quit all your additions. I hope I can do it too. Kudos to you.

In the thick of it, thanks kenny hope this can help me.

good vid , I agree wit you meditation helped me , every time I was on a meditation streak of 30 to 60 for example , I would never even think of fapping

Great video bro. Very relatable and well executed.

bro your kinda just like me and everything I got to describe you help me not make the mistakes you already did thanks a lot just subbed

Well thank you so much for this video 👏🏻 personally, I don't like to talk about this topic cause I feel awkward about it. I'm addicted to fapping, but only realised it now that I'm trying to stop doing it. It's harder than I thought. After 6 days of NoFap, I lost control yesterday and did it again. So now I'm back on day 1 :/

Recommended during nnn. Thx for reinforcement King.

I will share this video with my coomer friends and people who need, thank you, sir.

I really hope this video gets to a lot of people, glad people are speaking the truth about mastrubation Keep on making vids❤️‍🔥

Literally my situation to a tee, thanks for video. Hopefully one day I can be free

we love you bro

Thanks for this video and it's very encouraging to see that it's not just me

Yesterday was a month for me without fapping, i feel great and with more motivation.

I was never really a fan of no fap at all, not watching porns I can totally understand! I did that way too often and currently on my path to stop that forever but I believe this no fap at all thing really went a bit out of hand for some people. I dont judge anyone who fully stopped, you do you guys, but as long as you dont fap like 4 times a day or twice every day idk then I dont see any problems with self pleasurement

I felt it when he looked up Judy Hopps😔😔😔thanks for the motivation

Meditation I'm willing change your life. I cannot recommend it enough. Started doing it earnestly a year ago, almost every day, and it's changed SOOO much of my behaviors, thoughts, emotions and outcomes.

This... fap was a regular thing to me next to video games. Soon dopamine just died hard. Games weren't fun for me. I couldn't do anything that I used to enjoy. I always relapsed after trying to stop. Like it was a endless cycle. Then I got introduced to Molly (mdma) and when I combined that with fapping....bro. dopamine overdrive where you can barely breath from the amount of ecstasy fapping away and it lasted for hours. But the comedown was complete shit and my dopamine was fried for a day or 2. Then I take a break for a month and then do that again and it's heaven... and now I'm tempted to do it again 😭😭😭help. I'm glad I found this video. I'll try meditation thank you bro

Man I've been trying to break free from this for years. This addiction is no joke. It's great to see more awareness and discussion happening about this. It really does lend itself to overall bad health but I think arguably it creates a lot of sexual and mental illness. I'm sure someone somewhere (tel a viv) wearing a tuxedo and smoking a cigar is all too aware of this and is rubbing their hands together ferociously chuckling to themselves as they watch the net revenue from televised sex trafficking reach billions of dollars while at the same time achieving eugenic dreams that only the most nefarious people in this world work towards.

i love the way how he's sitting comfortably 😂❤️🙏🏻

Of course today would be a great day to start, but I urge you boys to use NNN as a stepping stone to no fap it greatly helped new last year

Yo i start it like on 24 oct. And till now i feel really really good Now i can talk comfortablely with girls and even i am confident while speaking ( even now also my English is weak) and i can see changes in my body i am really happy for the increase of focus and consistency of my ownself "believe me it changes everything" Myth : if u think ur pimmple, hairfall is gonna stop then it won't Keep it up mortals 🎃 Challenge ur mind

I have been going strong for about 2 minutes boys.. anything is possible!

My parents honestly didnt care if I watched porn. I dont think the 50+ generation had any idea of how damaging it could be. I am wondering how I will teach my kids to stay away without shaming them.

I meditate in the shower just focusing on washing myself it helps me clear my head before I start my day

Honestly bro, this vide helped alot im already watching alot of hamza and icecold jt this year and the change has been amazing and I was in the same place as you ❤ change is amazing

kenny w another quality wholesomenesshonest vid we all needed

This is very helpful advice

Give us a vid on the identity crisis, it sounds interesting

Needed to hear this, thanks.

Step 1. Get a girlfriend Done

Bro… you are so underrated you give a rely good vibe at least for me

We are all trying to improve but it's so hard, but I think we can do better and this video is a good example on what to do 👌

We can all do this boys!! also if you're a religious person, you can pray about it , it helps

Dude THANK YOU! This video helped add a tool to my journey of keeping away from porn.

3 days strong 💪
