NoFap: Does it work or should it be avoided?

Honestly the way I perceive it is yes, fapping isn't gonna make your test divebomb, but when you fap to porn/hentai/whatever you are training your brain to accept a certain time of stimulus, as opposed to a real women. For me, NoFap is a discipline challenge. I'm on day 7 and it's hard as fuck because im so used to the habit (literally daily for like 10 years). I agree with fnordsnord here, fapping isnt the problem its porn addiction (though, if you are fapping excessively everyday without porn I could see it being a problem too. you'll desensitize your dick with that much fapping)

You answered yourself. You were jerking it three times a day and claim you were using excessive porn, and you indicate you think you're still a virgin because you were content blowing your own load instead. To me that says you had an issue and you're working to correct it.

I wouldn't dismiss the folks in that subreddit based on your assumptions of their lifestyle, no more than I'd dismiss you given you're a virgin who up-until-recently vice-gripped his dick morning, noon, and night. Personally I think there's tremendous value in moderating one's use of porn/jerking off and channeling that energy to more productive things and found a lot of good information on that subreddit. I have an intellectual interest in learning how technology is affecting our brain and lifestyle anyways so it was useful to me for various reasons.

I think the key is, you're not chasing a specific # of days. It's a means to an end, not an end in itself, so the value is in having a healthier brain and freeing up time/energy to pursue other interests.

I feel better if I only jack it every few days. Don't do it every day.

I've concluded that an occasional rub-out is ok. But IF you aren't fucking any chicks or haven't in the last 3 months and there is nothing on the horizon..You should stop. I think of it now as if I want to get some ideas on to mix things up or get kinky I might jerk off to it...But make sure I implement whatever I saw somehow... I agree, nothing beats the real thing ( no pun intended)

Nofap is not placebo, it definitely works. There is nothing good about pleasure without any effort.

Fapping doesn't have a significant effect on your T-levels.

Nor does rubbing one out occasionally affect your libido or aggressiveness.

Unless masturbating is having a significant impact on your life, it's mostly harmless. Nofap is for guys who literally spend hours a day with their dick in their hand, training themselves to prefer a fist to a vulva.

Porn, on the other hand, warps your brain, your sexual expectations of women, and your view of your own sexuality.

My opinion? (And it's JUST an opinion) Spank the monkey all you want, but quit porn.

Try to quit and find out for yourself.

If you're lacking motivation towards dating stop fapping for a week I guarantee you'll have a date by the end of the week. Something just happens it's hard to explain but all of a sudden you become more confident and motivated towards women.

I used to be subscribed to this sub and I got fed up with the cultish behaviour and the self-fellating rethoric. These guys literally believe that they get superpowers after not fapping for 3 months even if they still can't say hi to a woman. Besides, if you're not having sex regularly, not fapping is harmful to your health. The real problem is porn, not masturbation.

No fap and all the fucktards that spew that ideology are complete idiots. They look to play the blame game as a reason they don’t succeed. Instead of blaming others they blame fapping.

There is nothing wrong with porn or fapping. Like all good things it needs moderation. If beating your meat and watching porn interferes with you taking care of your daily affairs and improving yourself then it’s a problem. I don’t personally do it all that often but I still do it. Hell I’ve rubbed one out in the shower then fucked my ltr immediately after.
