Does NoFap really work?

Tried it for 3 months and while there are some small noticeable effects (more energy, more courage), it's not like you get super powers like some make it out to be. And after those 3 months i just do it once or twice a week. Moderation is everything...

It "works" to make you a sex crazed maniac who can only think with your dick, yes. I have made some dubious escort related decisions when I've "saved up" for a special occasion.

It won't work for making women attracted to you (quite the opposite) it will make you desperate and creepy,

Most of the supposed benefits are exaggerated. However, if someone is addicted to porno it can be very beneficial because it does affirm replacing with good habits like exercise and proper sleep.

If you want to know, this is from an ancient Tantra text on retention. And doing so will make you Goku from DBZ lol.

Those meditation practices may help you calm down and be aware of your body. The remaining ideas around biology and spirituality are, and this goes without saying, ancient philosophy at best and pseudoscientific at worst.

But for regular folks most perceived benefits are placebo. Like most things found online like intermittent fasting Keto etc.

As for my specific experience, I have gone a little over a month back in my redpill youth.
Critically speaking there is no benefit that I can attribute to it except for unnecessary stressing over something silly.

I'll end this on something darker, redpilled/MGTOW men and some cases women slide nofap ideas to their followers as a means to control a basic human behavior to masturbate. That is something you expect from a religion or a cult.

That depends... how exactly do you want your life to improve

Nah. Do it for fun if you want to otherwise don't bother.

Only thing I got was being horny for 8 months 😅. You can do without it

Does NoFap count if you have sex??

It works, if you're looking to change the way you think about sexual arousal and stop flooding your brain with happy chemicals, you'll be rewarded with a discernable sense of urgency and vigor that can readily be channeled into productive things like exercising and personal projects. There's also the factor of pornography making 'the real thing' less desirable, inflating standards and promoting unrealistic expectations. It's simply the fact that if you let your body crave something instead of relieving the tension constantly, you'll actually be driven to work towards and do something about it.

It does help those who are extremely addicted to pron and masterbating, but it doesn't make you any better, and your not going to become a superhero if you abstain from it.

Never tried it myself but if somebody's addicted to pornography and masturbating five times a day, it might be a good idea, cutting out that kind of addiction is a positive, other than that I assume it would give you a lot more energy because you don't have the sexual release and it would make you a lot hornier but the way some of those guys talk about it you think it would give you superpowers or something lol

I've never done full NoFap, but I cut down significantly on both porn use and the frequency that I jerked off, and it was great. I think a big part of it was switching to only masturbating when I was really horny and was having trouble focusing because of that, as opposed to just jerking off because I was bored. And when I did masturbate, I stayed away from porn.

Sex was the biggest improvement. I found that my erections were much stronger, and I was lasting longer.
