People who have done the no-fap(no-masturbation) how did you feel?

Read somewhere (in this sub I think) that substituting fapping with jelqing is an excellent idea.... I will try to remember key points.

Reason being simple physiology. If you don't use it, you lose it. Think about other parts of your body you exercise; your mind, body.... If you don't lift you lose muscle mass and strength. If you don't read, exercise your mind, have discipline you lose those things as well.

Fapping is exercise for the dong. You put blood in, it expands, pushes the capillaries (the place that stores blood) which in turn helps maintain size. Have a hard on for extended period and you are getting a decent work out for that area.

Stop fapping and you lose the exercise your cock was getting, unless you get sex regularly. In turn, you can lose (soft) size, and also because you are not using it regularly it loses some health as well. Yes, we get hard ons at night but not necessarily for the same period of time and not as vigorously, especially if you are not a teenager anymore.

Fapping to porn causes some changes in the brain which definitely can screw up your IRL behaviors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRJ_QfP2mhU

Jelqing forces blood into the penis, expands the capillaries (I know this may not be the right term.) It is excellent exercise to keep your cock in tip top shape. You now have a well toned member that is ready for action. Side bonuses are larger soft length (even if its just looks, that's still something we all would probably enjoy) and debatable size gains. Your erections will be much stronger and coupled with the fact you aren't cumming due to no fap you will have a healthy cock and full balls that is pushing you to go out and find a warm hole.

The op advocated 15 min of jelqing a day with rest on one or two days a week, kind of like a work out.

My anecdotal evidence. I am an advocate of nofap to porn and have been for years. Jerking once a week to girls you have seen in real life but have not fucked helps motivate you to pursue them. I have personally seen changes in that I appreciate female beauty more, I am attracted to more women and get hungrier when I see them, which in turns leads to more action on my part to pursue. I have also seen more spontaneous erections in public when seeing women, something I haven't experienced prior to this since I was a teenager. Frankly, I don't mind, it really builds the desire to push to fuck.

When I am with a woman, I am more aggressive and have more stamina. Yes, you may experience some increased sensitivity, which can lead to cumming early but so what? Most women love that they made you cum and especially if you are hard minutes later or never lose the erection and can keep going (which is a great side benefit), they are shocked and turned on. The extra stamina is wonderful! You can fuck all night and are motivated to.

In terms of jelqing, I have seen size gains, never measured but visually they are there.

Honestly, I miss porn sometimes but its a passing thought and I think about it for a sec then go on.

Knowing that I won't fap when I come home at the end of the night does motivate me more when going out to pick up. Knowing that I won't fap frees up that part of the mind, builds discipline and in terms of other activities/hobbies, I'm not sure other than my time isn't being wasted fapping.

Hope this helps.

Personally I noticed a build up of libido and drive after 2-3 days but after 4-7 days it dips. After about 9 days I find myself losing drive. Stroking the snake helps to remind you're still a sexual being when you hit a dry spell. Just don't fap compulsively. Make sure it's a glorious workout.

For how long did you do the experiment?

Several years.

What changes did you notice?(if no changes please tell me)

Had more energy, more willing to talk to random women, more excited.

Any "outer change"?(like besides the mindset, did girls or people around you notice *something different or were you treated different)

Girls treated me differently because I behaved differently.

besides your sexual life, did you feel any changes in for example your hobbies?

Got better at weight lifting.

The only thing nofap gives you is blue balls.
Try quitting porn, you'll masturbate a lot less than before.

Unless you have an outlet for the extra energy available to you, it's a waste. If there is extra energy that you don't let out, it is frustrating. Treat it like a natural outlet for extra energy.

You have more energy and drive, which makes you appear stronger and more confident. The thing is that your mind will still look for sex/porn, so you'll pursue it other ways. I also read something about testestorone levels, but don't know enough to say anything about. Generally I have been better off, when the urge kicks in i still mastrubate, but will be once every 2 weeks or so.

The things that happen to me when I try that aren't good. I get frustrated at first, can only think of sex after a few days, get extremely irritable and aggressive. It's no good.

Gawernator · 2016-03-15T21:21:45+00:00

It makes it easier to be more aggressive in pursuing women, I think.

TRP_Werther · 2016-03-15T22:22:25+00:00

I've pursued women more aggressively, which is the common trend in this thread.

I also get harder - which honestly feels great

For how long did you do the experiment?

Just over 1 year this month

What changes did you notice?(if no changes please tell me)

More personal confidence, more sexual drive, more motivation, more energy, improved mood and life outlook

Any "outer change"?(like besides the mindset, did girls or people around you notice *something different or were you treated different)

Yes people definitely noticed. Mainly becasue I was becoming more self confident and leaving my shell (the loser who watched porn and jerked off instead of talking to real women)

besides your sexual life, did you feel any changes in for example your hobbies?

Giving up a deeply ingrained habit (watching porn and or jerking off) opened up a ton of free time for me and allowed me to explore new hobbies and meet new people doing those activities. They have been much more fulfilling than squirting my life juice into a tissue.

For me it was a subtle, yet powerful change.

Let´s say you have a gun which isn´t loaded. You point it at others to get them to comply (approaching). A novice wouldn´t point it at anyone at all, since they aren´t experienced. In their minds their toughts are:

"What if they notice the gun isn´t loaded? If they are going to attack me, I´m screwed and I have no way to defend." The novice will shake and rather not risk anything so he wont get attacked. (Reject)

Then there are some guys who studied the body language of someone who has a loaded gun, and imitate it. They get a few results but deep down they know that the gun isn´t loaded. (I lack energy to even behave like someone with a loaded gun)

And finally if the gun is loaded: The toughts are:"You better comply or I´ll shoot". Everything is congruent and it´s something really hard to fake.

I did it for 90 days hardmode, just to test my willpower. You don´t actually have to go overboard like that unless you are highly addicted.

For other changes except the energy part(which is actually way more important than anything else): My Limbal rings seem to be thicker. (Also applys to males) Plus I got a deeper voice.

Hobbywise it´s a bit of a gateway between consuming and productive Hobbys. If I fap, I often catch myself watching random Youtube videos,Series and stuff like that. If I abstained or just do easy mode, I compose songs, read and work on myself.

I do edge and use the bathmate so I wont be oversensitive. Especially edging is really hard, since you walk a thin line between breaking the streak or not.
