Love how you don't milk these topics like other youtubers and speak only the necessary parts. Never stop making videos man! You're a great dude

I used to have the urge but now I NEVER do. With school, gym, and waking up at 5:30Am for swim(I’m on the HS swim team), I’m so exhausted it never crosses my mind. I dont even look at girls or think about it. I don’t know if it’s bad or not but whatever.

Bro, I don't know if you will ever watch this video but, seriously, thanks. SImply thanks. I relapsed yesterday, but after many days of trying. I started watching magazines when I was about 6. Now I am 23. And my life has become hell because of this. But your words of wisdom took me back on track, this time for good. The hero journey, that's real.

It's interesting because I certainly don't identify as someone with a porn fap addiction. My life is very full and wholesome in a lot of ways. I have a great marriage and insane fun with my kids everyday, I work for myself, and I'm very positive habit oriented. I have a pretty good workout routine, I spend an enormous amount of time in the wilderness either backpacking mountains or practicing bushcrafting, wildcrafting and herbalism. I'm a good musician. While I don't consider myself a religious man, I'm well read in a wide variety of literature; I do read the bible and I feel I have a good relationship with God. I have a very positive life most of the time. But I still have this secret addiction that is intensely engrained in me since prepubescence. I hate it. And I now think I'm out of inadvertent tricks to use to get out of it. I just need to use my own will power and just stop. I smoked cigarettes for around 10 years and managed to totally quit about 8 years ago. It's amazing how much powerful porn is compared to other drug addictions.

As much as I struggle and relapse, everytime I finally make myself watch one of your videos, I find myself with the desire to take notes and better understand your words. One of your amazing qualities is that you don't necessarily say the words you say in the way you understand them, but rather you speak for your words to be understood by others. We're all gonna get there, and I'm sure that good things are coming your way. You're building a fantastic community of men who are finding motivation in themselves, as opposed to other people and things. Thanks man, I really appreciate you. You inspire.
@proatbeinganoob9614
Ayo I’m gonna be honest you might of just saved me. I’m not at the point of doing it everyday, but when you started talking about the mental stuff it does I started realizing that I’m dangerously close to that point. I never realized that I could have an addiction, but literally everything you said made me realized that I do. Thanks so much man, im gonna start working to turn my life around. Thanks a lot for giving me the motivation i needed to do that.
@jackstrayfeald1007
I've done it guys, I've finally conquered my porn addiction. I've lost count of the amount of times I've tried to stop, but now, finally, I'm free.
@CombatBanana
The things that help me the most and will probably help you are finding and eliminating my triggers, not getting over confident in my self control, never edging, and being self aware.
@tino5735
This is only the second video of yours that I've watched, but both vids have been exactly what I've needed to hear. Def earned a sub.
@DeciDeci_
This guy is like a self improvement enjoyer like me, only he helps spread the word, so I just gotta say, thanks for being a pretty normal person like me but still spread some great wisdom. Very relatable, you earned a sub.
@KeefeCarpenter
Good video Kenny. Pornhub 2022 stats were pretty disgusting (and sad). America is blowing out the rest of the world in porn consumption and it might be the biggest problem we are facing as a country because of the downstream effects of it. A lot of what you said is what worked for me to quit as well. One big thing for me was having a social life. If you just sit around in your house all day, idc how disciplined you are you are going to end up doom scrolling, fapping off, binge eating or something like this
@benwarren7327
Hey man was literally just going through a struggle of stopping as I pressed the video and although my mindset was very similar it helped armour it. I appreciate it man
@antihackercodm4664
I am very lucky of the fact that I have parents who actually motivate me to stop fapping, they told of the disadvantages of fapping at young age of 14, and from then, I have always been trying to conquer this habit, I am 16 right now. when I was 14 I had around 5 months of No fap streak approximately after which things were becoming messy again when I was 15, I started relapsing, but now I am making progress and I hope to conquer this habit very soon!

1. Finding your purpose (what do you want to do with your life) 2. Understanding your antithesis (get extremely honest with yourself, envision the path this addiction is bringing you down, envision the worst case scenario. This temporary suffering avoids that long term suffering. Vice versa, you can remind yourself of the long term benefits of abstaining from no fap. Visualize it as well) 3. Shifting identities (your mental mindset shifts into someone who believes “I can overcome porn and I do not need porn” and your mind will perform a self hypnosis which helps you combat those urges when they do arrive. It’s going “I’m not someone who ever gets tempted” it’s “I’m someone who gets tempted and resists it”) 4. Practice mindfulness (See the bigger picture in yourself, allow your mind to pull back and observe the thoughts you’re having. When you practice mindfulness, you will be able to catch these thoughts and urges trying to pull you back into relapsing. You observe the thought, but you don’t give it power because you know that isn’t you) (practice meditation) 5. Sexual transmutation ( biological, one of our biggest goals as men is attracting a mate and reproducing. Out of all stimuli, this is the strongest one. Take that sexual energy and transform it into productive energy. Aka: you’re using your motivation to get women to ultimately work towards a more productive, positive state in your life) (don’t confuse this with “putting women up on a pedestal”)

Great video Kenny. I’ve been through my share of nice streaks on nofap, but have also been pitted with terrible relapses. I’m back on a nice streak now using a different strategy. I remembered that some habits can become entangled with one another because of the combined dopamine surge that it creates. For example, cigarettes and coffee. For this streak, I kept conscious to separate the act from the material if ya catch my drift. I’m sure we are all aware how bad the urges get a few days to a week in. To help mitigate this, if you only allow yourself to do the act without the material, it keeps the urges at bay for a couple of days. My end goal is to keep this up for a few weeks until I feel comfortable in stepping away from the act. This in theory should be easier since the feeling isn’t as great due to the lower dopamine release. I’ve always been a firm believer in cold turkey and absolute willpower, but when you become entrenched in repetitive insanity, you sometimes just have to step back and look at it from a 10,000 ft level. I hope this can help someone here looking in the comments. This strategy also works with other coupled addictions. Stay strong fellas.

Excellent video as always Kenny, thank you brother
