Omkar Bojjawar, Founder, Mandontfap (MDF)
Hello
everyone. Thanks for having me for this interview. And I hope that this
interview will be helpful for everyone who is struggling with pornography
addiction.
My
name is Omkar Bojjawar and
I’m the founder of the app Mandontfap, aka MDF.
I
completed my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering in 2019 and during those four
(4) years, I struggled with a crippling porn addiction. However, with a strong
mindset, willpower, and a supportive online community, I successfully overcame
this addiction and completely transformed my life, personality, and mindset for
the better.
After
witnessing such amazing benefits, I felt that I too should help and inspire
those who are still struggling with this addiction. After considering all of my
media options, such as writing a book, starting a YouTube channel, and so on, I
decided that it would be a great help if I could create a useful tool, such as
a mobile application, that will always be with the user with all of its
features and timely reminders, as well as other limitless possibilities.
That
is when I started learning app development (despite coming from a mechanical
background) and other related skills such as marketing, UI design, etc. to
bring my vision into reality. The journey so far was not easy, with a lot of
hurdles and victory moments, but it was all worth the effort.
The
best part of my job has always been when I get a 5-star rating notification or
mail describing how his app is changing someone's life for the better. It feels
like a blessing to me.
Overcome
pornography addiction with ManDontFap (MDF)
ManDontFap
is a mobile app for Android and iOS with an average rating of 4.6/5 with 1200+
reviews and around 1 million global downloads.
With
easy internet access, our generation, especially teenagers, is suffering from a
serious and unprecedented issue of pornographic addiction. And sadly, there
isn’t much talk about it, as apparently it is a billion-dollar industry and is
a commonplace concept in everything from commercials to movies.
Although
it may seem innocuous, our brains are not designed to handle such unnatural
amounts of pleasure on such a frequent basis. Our brain uses a feel-good
hormone called "dopamine," which motivates us to take action to seek
reward. For example, hunting for food, finding a mate, or simple things like
doing homework or preparing to do well at school or jobs. However, with an
excess amount of dopamine available in a matter of a click, studies have shown
that our dopamine receptors get desensitised and people find it difficult to
muster up the motivation to do mundane yet necessary tasks in everyday life.
This results in poor quality of life, thus sadness or depression, and even
physical issues like porn-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED), and to cope with
it, one goes back to pornography, forming a vicious cycle. And over time, to
feel the same high as before, one starts indulging in hardcore and weirder
things, leading to an addiction similar to other severe drugs. This also
contributes to the increase in the number of child trafficking, abuse, and rape
cases.
Fortunately,
it is possible to overcome this addiction by abstaining from such content and
leading a normal, healthy life.
However,
overcoming any addiction isn’t easy, but with the right guidance and
motivation, many have achieved "freedom".
And
for that, the ManDontFap app is a tool designed and equipped with unique
features such as habit trackers, 1v1 battles, resources, active community, etc.
that are proven to help millions across the globe live an addiction-free life.
Key features of the MDF app
MDF is an app
inspired and improved by real-life experiences, issues, and success stories to
solve the problem of "pornography addiction". Therefore, it has many
features that can be "life-changing" for its users.
Excessive
pornography use causes severe harm to our reward system. In order to fix it, we
have designed our app in such a way that it rewards the user with incentives
such as uniquely made wallpapers, badges, inspiring notifications, and much
more. This gives the user a sense of achievement and motivation to keep going.
We
also have a strong community of active users within and outside the app, which
has proven to be very effective in helping users to share their experiences and
doubts and celebrate each other’s victories while holding them accountable.
Another
unique feature that we offer is called MDF Battles, wherein users can have a
friendly battle with each other wherein they both compete based on their
progress and hold each other accountable through anonymous chats. Research
shows that it is very helpful to interact with others who are facing similar
addictions as yours, and MDF Battles provides a platform to do it smoothly and
anonymously.
Along
with that, we have many other features such as MDF Breathe for meditation and
mindfulness, MDF Journal to track your growth journey, a panic button to help
you in difficult times, and handpicked articles and videos within and outside
the app, such as notifications and widgets to make sure that you stay on track.
All
in all, it’s a One-Stop App, a guide and companion on your path to addiction
recovery.
