NoFap and TRP

319Skew · 2019-01-14T20:08:20+00:00

Wait until you hit the 90 day mark. That's when I discovered I can levitate and move objects with my mind.

realityisperception4 · 2019-01-14T17:52:48+00:00

The power of nofap is getting you off porn. No problem with busting a nut at the end of the day if you’re not getting laid. Just keep it natural.

PaulHarden · 2019-01-14T20:05:33+00:00

It takes longer to break through to the other side and not be a sex crazed maniac.

I'm at over 1300 days and it's the best choice I've ever made.

broek_325 · 2019-01-14T18:11:25+00:00

Nofap is a load of bullshit. If you’re a porn addict with a broken dick, sort yourself out.

If you’re a normal guy who watches porn every once in a while, you won’t unlock some supernatural powers or become an alpha by abstaining from it.

BigNog_ · 2019-01-14T17:52:58+00:00

For me, it's complicated. Tomorrow, will be my 6 month anniversary of quitting porn. I quit watching it half a year ago. It's sorta crazy. But, I'm still somewhat new to nofap. I have reached a 7 day streak three times but that's the farthest I have gotten. When I do relapse, it's always to just my imagination. I use no sexual stimulus (porn, ig models, pics). I'm currently on a 3 day streak. I noticed I had way more energy. Specifically in the gym, I was able to push a lot more reps. I found it easier to look people in the eyes. That applies to guys and girls. I only had two female attraction instances. On a 7 day streak a hot girl turned the corner, looked at me in the eyes for a second or two, and smiled at me. Could be she was attracted, could be bullshit and she was being nice. IDK. Then, a milf that works at my gym that I talk to came up to me in between sets and said she liked my haircut and that it looks good. Those are the only things that happened to me with girls.

The main reason I'm trying to do nofap is because I'm terrified of women. Especially the one's I am attracted to. I'm just fucking scared. I feel like I'm gonna die. Every guy one here fucks tons of chicks easily and I;m sorta just lurking trying to learn their secrets. It's not getting any easier. I know I just have to do it and approach more but its really hard. Someone made a comment on a post yesterday about the benefits of lifting weights. He said, if you can squat a heavy ass weight (I'm at 205lbs now) what's scary about talking to girls? I wish that were true for me. I have been lifting for 2+ years and I still can't fucking do it. I probably never will. I just hope if I stick with nofap that my confidence will rise and I'll be able to talk to girls easier. Sorry that this was an emotional beta bitching victim post but that's how I fucking feel. I'm not like you guys. I understand TRP and I read about it all the fucking time. But I can't put it into practice. I'm still the nervous, shy, nice guy.

jlife18 · 2019-01-14T17:54:33+00:00

Honestly stop porn forever but try to get actual sex. It is good however to limit the frequency of ejaculations just to give your body a break sometimes.

Law 36: Disdain things you cannot have, Ignoring them is the best revenge

“Desire Often Creates Paradoxical Effects: The more you want something, the more you chase after it, the more it eludes you. The more interest you show, the more you repel the object of your desire. This is because your interest is too strong—it makes people awkward, even fearful. Uncontrollable desire makes you seem weak, unworthy, pathetic.· You need to turn your back on what you want, show your contempt and disdain. This is the kind of powerful response that will drive your targets crazy. They will respond with a desire of their own, which is simply to have an effect on you—perhaps to possess you, perhaps to hurt you. If they want to possess you, you have successfully completed the first step of seduction. If they want to hurt you, you have unsettled them and made them play by your rules· If choosing to ignore enhances your power, it follows that the opposite approach—commitment and engagement—often weakens you. By paying undue attention to a puny enemy, you look puny, and the longer it takes you to crush such an enemy, the larger the enemy seems.”

NuclearMelonMan · 2019-01-14T19:22:22+00:00

I have a long history with NoFap, but being on it made me think more about girls and porn than when I was off it. I’ve now gotten to the point where I’ll jerk off whenever, but I’ll never watch porn. NoPo if you will, seems to be working a lot for me. I don’t feel like an awkward pervert or a horny beta. Truly a happy medium that I wish I’d thought of before.

i_like_herr · 2019-01-14T19:25:25+00:00

Idk why I started nofap but I realized it really gave me an extra edge in the gym. Maybe it's placebo but Idc as long as it is giving you some benefit

Loze1 · 2019-01-14T17:59:34+00:00

My first streak was about 220 days to see how it'll be. I purposely relapsed to see if it was all placebo. I noticed a drop in my energy levels and I really had no desire to pursue women. A few times a week and I'm good.

Started nofap again late last year, up to about 150 days by now. I get urges but not as bad. Wet dreams happen a few times a month. The urges on the other hand have died down a lot. I guess it's about channeling that energy elsewhere. If you focus on the feeling, it'll intensify. I busy myself with something else to get my mind off it.

Still, I don't feel like perusing women. Their standards are too high and you can never please them. I'll fuck them, yes but I rather pay an escort. Why? I know the price I'm paying up-front.

VojvodaSrpski · 2019-01-14T20:22:46+00:00

Nofap if you're addicted to porn, otherwise just practice semen retention. Eastern medicine was familiar with the benefits of SR thousands of years ago.

TheRoastArt · 2019-01-14T18:00:57+00:00

Funny you should mention because just yesterday i was curious about what a No Fap + RedPill crossover would look like. some sort of godlike alpha male one would imagine.

I’m on no fap whilst studying a few redpill guidelines so I’m on self improvement 100%.

I’m on my 2nd attempt at day 6 of no PMO (porn masturbation orgasm). My first attempt lasted 8 days. And I’ve noticed I’m experiencing the same symptoms around the same time.

No fap is about turning the energy directed at PMO into other activities and I can vouch for its auspiciousness

No fap is not for everyone, it’s not just for addicts and everyone progresses differently. So for me personally heres what’s changed:

• I sleep at earlier hours because for some odd reason no fap cured my insomnia.

• Doing away with my “hungry state” I did attract a particular co worker was asked out by a gay man, and an old flame reached out (last one was anecdotal but still uncanny)

• I had very moderate social anxiety which has minimized as the streak progresses.

• Focused more on my creative aspirations which has definitely paid off as I’m advancing.

•Energy increases. No longer need redbull for work

Provided, all of these things can happen and can be done without no fap, however, this was something I needed to do for myself because I didn’t like how much sex was involved in my life. I spent too much time trying to find the right porn video

So It is essentially a brain rewiring much like the redpill community. Yes, the “superpowers” are very real. Things do miraculously change.

PM_ME_SOME_NATURE · 2019-01-14T21:18:36+00:00

I did the same thing you did except I went for about 45 days. I think a lot of people on that sub are delusional in thinking that not touching your dick suddenly makes you more attractive or fixes all the problems in your life.

I had a similar experience to you, the only thing that really happened was I really THIRSTY all the time. Any girl looked attractive to me, and I wanted to fuck everything in sight.

I found it made my mind foggier and it was difficult to focus on things without my mind wandering to women.

Long story short, I unsubscribed from the sub and busting a nut every couple days keeps my mind calm and focused on my goals.

snowie42 · 2019-01-14T22:04:24+00:00

Well, I 'll have a different approach to this. Last Saturday, I was at a club and this girl took me to her home. everything is going nice. Prior to this, I only had sex twice way before and on those occasions, I came real fucking quick. So, I am already a bit anxious about it but I don't mind it much. Well, we get to the bed, and after a nice foreplay, there is not a fucking movement on my dick. I supposed that was caused by the alcohol use I did earlier. So, I left the sex for the morning. But when the morning comes still no action. Luckily she was nice enough and didn't really said anything about it. So, I started checking why it could be caused and I figure maybe how my brain wired sex with porn. Mind you this was the hottest girl I have ever been close with, Naked in the bed. After thinking about it, I thought maybe I couldn't get hard because my brain doesn't know this as sex. I don't see the girl with a full body shot, or seeing that pussy really, its dark. These are completely different from porn. I read some people's similar stories on here. So, I 'll give that a try. I won't stop masturbating but instead, I will use my imagination and the feeling of my hand. Hopefully, that will start to fix something.

Appex1 · 2019-01-15T13:12:04+00:00

I was in the same boat as you, where porn basically ruined my life and made me the biggest loser ever. Then I believed in those superpowers and wanted to try it for myself. It did fix all the problems that porn gave me, but complete abstinence also made me very needy, and I felt like NoFap blocked the natural flow of energy. It's NoPorn, and allow yourself to have a release once in a while.

AuberyBitoni · 2019-01-15T18:20:38+00:00

I tried it out myself because I didn't believe the sub. Made it to 65 days and I felt the exact same way like you did. I had boners all day long, kept thinking about sex etc...

I started NoFap because of ED. I watched too much porn when I was younger and it fucked me up. Combine that with deathgrip and it's barely impossible to keep a hard on with a girl.

So yeah.. I've tried it out. I think the sub is a joke. It's full of incells who try to justify their shitty life by abstaining from Porn and think it will give them superpowers. NoFap is a joke. NoPorn is way better. Just quit porn and fap once every 7-10 days or so.

My rule is: Fap every 7-10 days, depends if I'm horny if I'm single. If I have a LTR, I never fap.

MorpheusSwag · 2019-01-14T17:57:40+00:00

Guys on here arent successful lolol dont worry

weekndfan · 2019-01-14T18:12:04+00:00

Your loses after 20+ days can be a result of your brain reprogramming from PMO which causes a flatline and can make you depressed.

You need meditation to channel the built up energy from NoFap.

rad_dynamic · 2019-01-14T20:13:41+00:00

Placebo mostly. Also, just masturbate once a week or something. You get the best of both worlds then. You are horny and want to chase women, but you aren't so horny that you want to fuck so bad it becomes detrimental to your game.

lbrownlbandit · 2019-01-14T21:03:47+00:00

Ah honestly it was probably your body yearning for some comfort. That might be something you should work on, try developing better relationships with family. This is probably the easiest to do as you can just ask them to join you in a mutual activity like chess or some shit or just join them in whatever they are doing. This way you can help them do what they need done and you get some comfort from the human interaction. Use this to build your character and to learn how to build connections with people, then when you think you are good enough take the leap of faith and try it with randoms.

It's tough staying in control all the time use your family as a pit stop of sorts to build yourself up when ever you are down. Just make sure they dont be little you or put you down if they do comment on this and I'll explain what you can do to overcome that

zeekt12 · 2019-01-14T22:42:25+00:00

I feel the opposite. I naturally gain an abundance mentality when on a nofap streak. Solely from the motivation, extra energy, and drive derived from nofap, i feel content with my life in almost any situation and it makes my frame unbreakable. Ultimately, from being in a more conscious state from being on nofap, it makes it pretty easy to not come off as desperate when youre horny af and talking to a girl.

I 100% believe in the power of nofap, but i find some times it can be counterproductive as my libido takes a hit.

But as many say here, the main thing is to not watch porn or edge; semen retention is just a bonus.

Otherwise, i feel the best mentally and physically when retaining, both dopamine and semen.

[deleted] · 2019-01-14T22:46:37+00:00

What do you mean when you say “you lost frame”. Please explain.

Neil1398 · 2019-01-15T01:03:39+00:00

Before I knew about trp I knew about nofap. I tried to go on long streaks but I always winded up losing out. That caused me to be in despair for the next couple of days until I got a good streak up again.

Here’s the thing I did feel the “superpowers”. I started to become more talkative, felt more in tune with things in the world, girls were more attractive. I felt I needed to be on this journey to experience all of this.

Then I found out the truth about a year ago when I went back to martial arts after 12 years. The truth is that was the only thing I was accomplishing in my life by going on these streaks. So then I decided to add more hobbies and put my attention on those rather than rubbing one out. I started to see that it doesn’t matter whether you jack off or watch porn. It’s how productive you are.

I think if you can’t live without it than yeah give it a shot because you shouldn’t be looking at that shit everyday like I was as a teen. However don’t let it run your life. I personally try to stay away from porn but masturbation nah I’m good. If I’m feeling it I’m not gonna just sit in it and say I’ll lose my superpowers because I know that the superpowers come from doing things and being active.

I will say that porn does desensitize so that’s why I avoid that as much as possible.

Even rollo says it’s a buffer and I’m trying to see reality as much as I can

midas44 · 2019-01-15T02:07:59+00:00

It is more of a self-discipline thing for most people. A lot of those guys are addicted to porn and fapping like 4-5 times a day or to the point where it hinders their every day endeavors.

Socrates-3000 · 2019-01-15T03:48:37+00:00

I lost my virginity because of nofap.

Ohboohoolittlegirl · 2019-01-14T18:59:18+00:00

NoFap is nonsense. You should be happy it got you off porn. Nothing wrong with cranking it to imagination and more satisfying if you ask me. All these superhuman energy boosts and meditation.. I guess it works for some. I'd rather eat well, work out and pursue my hobbies and jerk it, then be obsessed with my attractions, my horniness and resisting 'the urge'.. It makes no sense to me.

Also as you can see in the comments there are enough guys not getting any or little. It's easy to pretend to know or do a lot on the internet.

As for being scared, I guess you should address the fear instead of trying ways around it to fix the symptoms, such as NoFap. Are you scared of women's behavior or the fear of rejection?

xsealand21 · 2019-01-14T18:17:39+00:00

No fap has helped me a lot ,I do it to improve myself rather than to help me with women.

1) After no fap I have started sleeping early and waking up early(needed atleast 8 hours of sleep plus atleast a small 1 hour nap in the afternoon to focus on work ,now I only sleep 6 to 7 hours despite working more). 2)I didn't suffer from depression earlier but after no fap I just feel a lot happier.I enjoy my own company ,I don't need a friend to go out with,I do what I want to do rather than be part of the group and do what they want to do. 3)Have started eating healthy and working out more. 4)Become more confident and bold ,hasn't got me laid yet but I am pretty sure it definitely will. 5)I have become more productive ,have started substituting my time of gaming and being on social media with reading books about invesment ,reading redpill sidebar, meditating,have also started watching motivational videos rather than pranks channel and other stuff that waste time on YouTube. 6)improved focus.Now I can read a book or a watch a YouTube video without being distracted easily.

I think you will start getting the benefits once you start doing it to improve yourself rather than helping you get laid.

chadchadovsky · 2019-01-14T20:28:37+00:00

NoFap takes some mastery, I took me a few tries before I learned to 100% block sexual thoughts the second they arise(except when with a girl) because after you get hard and ready it's usually too late to turn back.

The scientific literature on this is weak but I experienced positive benefits that are almost 100% not "placebo". Around day 20 I wasn't even thinking about (no)fapping anymore, I just went out and without thinking talked to a bunch of strangers. I had a REAL smile on my face and even got opened by a MILF neighbor. I NEVER did this before, not even close. And I only registered the weirdness of what happened few hours after.

Combining NoFap with other "suffering" (resetting dopamine sensitivity) will make you feel like a god. Cold showers, some food deprivation, sleeping on the floor, no computer/phone, all day meditation, and exercise... After a few days of this behavior, you start to see life differently.

I remember going to a grocery store in the morning after a few days of hardcore suffering and seeing the sunrise over the nearby hills when I was in the elevator. I had to go back and just see it again, it made me so happy.

Not saying this is for everyone, some people function perfectly fine fapping 5x per day, others might further fuck up their social anxiety and develop wired fetishes. If it didn't do much for you after a month, just drop it.

TheStumblingWolf · 2019-01-14T20:40:19+00:00

For me nofap is stupid, but not watching porn does wonderful things.

Life_Guard90 · 2019-01-14T21:28:37+00:00

I tried nofap for 2 weeks and I noticed that my nuts started to hurt. Like, really hurt. At first I thought that I might have twisted one of my balls or something, but I soon figured out what was wrong after I "relapsed". After that release my balls felt so much better. Cured the pain instantly.

IronFist46 · 2019-01-14T19:46:34+00:00

I started NoFap one week ago and it has saved my life. Because of NoFap, I became taller, it cured cancer, I became a millionaire,....

Okay I'll stop. For real tho, NoFap isn't some kind of supernatural thing, it's just a good habit for porn addicts but that's about it.

BusterVadge · 2019-01-14T20:08:44+00:00

Nofap is bullshit.

Whack off if you like to... Just don't overdo it, and don't start watching more and more extreme porn. If you're in your closet whacking it to transexual hippopotamus porn, you have gone too far.

I recommend not using porn at all, just use your imagination

Hsnbrg501 · 2019-01-14T20:59:55+00:00

While I have a gf and can have sex whenever, I prefer to do it once every 2-3 days, as I notice that my energy levels are much higher when I don't get off, and I am much more creative and determined to accomplish goals. Sometimes I'll even tell her to wait a little while so I can get some shit done first.

heroicart · 2019-01-14T22:33:40+00:00

Well for me after day 7 I usually feel really confident and my social awkwardness disappears as well and I talk more confidently and feel relaxed but like you said in your post some people have different experiences with no pmo and it depends on that purpose.from what I read on semen retention.semen is the root of everything that makes a man what he is and what he does.

TheUnsteadyDonut · 2019-01-14T23:26:14+00:00

I reached my first day of NoFap exactly today. So far so good

dtyler86 · 2019-01-14T23:28:37+00:00

Reading about all y’all no fapping is making the 24 hours since I last got laid feel like an eternity

_do_not_read_this_ · 2019-01-15T02:56:06+00:00

It's not no-fap, it's you and your frame.

Work on frame. Lift. Build or destroy something. Have a purpose.

The basics.

Don't rely on others' reports about no-fap, every body is different.

awalt_cupcake · 2019-01-15T05:07:52+00:00

I found that once a week masturbating is my optimal if I'm not getting any. There's some science tabloids that suggest after the 7th day you get a testosterone spike but then it crashes even lower afterwards.

I set up an experiment trying a week, 2 weeks, 3, a month, 2 months. I found that by day 1 I may or may not be horny. Sleepy and had a hard time waking up. Day 2 I could literally fuck a wall if it was looking at me the right way. Day 3 was easier and I was waking up early on my own. After a week I had a zen like calm, laser focus, and I was waking up punctually at 5 am. No gains any time after that including the month and 2 months time.

aanarchist · 2019-01-15T05:22:55+00:00

Honestly you sound like you just have low self control and don't know how to deal with your emotions. It's not about getting rid of your libido, it's about self control and being able to experience an emotion or impulse without letting it control you. The purpose for someone like you with the nofap is learning how to have that feeling of horniness and not letting it rule you. that is what stoicism is, not getting rid of the emotions and being emotionless but rather being able to experience an emotion and letting it pass through you without having a significant response to it, possibly to your detriment.

pridebrah · 2019-01-15T08:00:00+00:00

Nofap always breaks my dick/sex drive after about 6 days and it takes about another week to get back to normal. Shit is awful.

It's great if you're seeing a girl(s) often and getting it in frequently though. You'll be the horniest motherfucker alive ready to bang after just a couple days.

drnaline · 2019-01-15T08:06:55+00:00

90 days for a start. It makes you calm, and ambitious.

Side effects = fap

Jackerlo · 2019-01-15T09:05:57+00:00

Can you smoke while on nofap or it defeats the purpose?

gbnz87 · 2019-01-15T10:05:52+00:00

It's really difficult to know what is broscience or not with no fap.

I've been doing a weekly fap for a few months now and I think you get most of the benefits. Anything longer than a fortnight as you say I don't tend to feel as hungry for women. Which supposedly your testosterone levels peak after a weak of abstaining so it makes sense (this could be broscience though)

Realistically as long as you aren't fapping before you go out to meet women or you aren't fapping half a dozen times a day you should be fine

I think everyone should at least try it and see if you like the results. It's definitely improved my desire to meet women on the weekend and has got me more willing to get out my comfort zone so I will keep doing it for the foreseeable future.

Sad_Sleeper · 2019-01-15T10:08:11+00:00

While i was a virgin i managed to go for 260 days. Well yeah it was hard, but this changed my wiring. I wasn't even able to hold eye contact. After that i had my first date and there i managed to go for the kiss without even having hasitations.

I relapsed, but the blueprint was already changed, I knew that i can be direct and talk all sorts of bullshit. And showing my intentions is the most important thing.

After that had my first lay, and my first GF, she fucked me up but it was for good. I found the Redpill and i have been in the best shape of my life. Still a long way to go, but the first step has been made.

The superpowers are total bullshit. You get superpowers from lifting every day.

Just try to jerk off on some nice girl that you want to bang.

revaforce · 2019-01-14T20:46:58+00:00

I just think fapping is childish and basically what boys do, I think by abstaining or being able to abstain and focus on what you’re biologically driven by (real women), you’ll become more of a man and just feel better overall rather than busting nuts on yourself.

SwoleyMoleyFrijoley · 2019-01-14T23:45:39+00:00

Been doing NoFap for 5 years. I either fuck or don't nut at all. If you stick with it you reap the benefits. 30 days and an intentional jerk off session isn't going make you feel any different. You increase testosterone after 7 days and then it levels out, however, androgen receptors continue to grow, making the test you do have more effective. YMMV but after I went for over 100 days, I met my LTR and I haven't gone two days without getting laid. She loves my natural scent with no deodorant, seems to get intoxicated by it, lifts have gone up, hair is thicker, etc. I'm no beta by any means but it made me way more masculine overall. Good luck out there.

[deleted] · 2019-01-15T00:15:05+00:00

Stop listening to that bullshit and go wank off.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with porn.

You can watch porn and still be a virile confident dude.

frankly I would rather jack off sometimes than put effort into dancing in circles around a cunt.

Do whatever the fuck you want. The point is to do it with confidence and own it.

thewobblywelder · 2019-01-14T19:59:10+00:00

NoFap is just another feminist attempt at man shaming.

Terminal-Psychosis · 2019-01-14T19:42:34+00:00

no, there is no nofap AND TRP...

There is nothing TRP has to offer that can deal with such massive personality disorders.

In fact, if you are such a freak you can't keep your hands off your dick more than 15 minutes, no psudoscience bullshit sub like /nofap is going to help you either.

Seek professional help.

For the VAST majority of people, there is no problem with masturbation. 99.9% of the population has zero benefit from the /nofap cult nonsense.

Doesn't belong here. Keep it over there.
