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.
