MGTOW + NoFap = Awesome Self-Improvement Stack

People who don't bother with women and possibly even sex depriving themselves of orgasms. Makes all the sense ever. I'm going to keep my prostate healthy, thanks.

I'm in the camp that thinks NoFap is a bad idea. But I kinda wanna see more discussions about this just so I can get a perspective.

Not fapping will just make you more horny and susceptible to feminine wiles. Also its probably unhealthy.

Personally, nofap comes across as some straight edge, self righteous. holier-than-thou rhetoric.

No thanks.

I am in the camp who thinks some of the issues NoFap claims to solve are actually psychological issues (like low self esteem, lack of motivation, confidence) that would ideally be solved some other way (psychotherapy, lifestyle changes).

Now, the issues of the "death grip", ED and difficulty getting off during intercourse. Yeah I believe NoFap helps with that.

For me, nofap helped me address an excuse I would use instead of facing my life challenges head on.

Feeling alone? Jerk off. Don't want to study? Jerk off. Feeling kinda afraid to approach that girl? Rationalize she's not as hot as the girl online, go home, and jerk off?

It was a procrastination tool, and would reinforce a negative feedback loop at how I didn't have the self control over my life, and would run away from my problems and play video games, surf the web, jerk off, etc., instead of getting some balls and going after what I want.

Found that if I get pass day 30, somehow I get action (4/4 times so far) without any active effort, so it's a nice self-control/discipline test.

I think some people might get a little religious around the nofap stuff, making it a challenge and hardcore. Instead, just commit to it, and see the mental challenges you encounter. It's pretty interesting.

People talking about NoFap who have never done NoFap aren't worth listening to. Fucking do NoFap. Don't ask for scientific sources. It hasn't been studied. I'm currently on NoFap Hardmode + MGTOW and can confirm the strong self-improvement energy. A more MGTOW related post would have been nice, though, rather than a lazy plug for another subreddit.
