What do you think about NoFap?

Personally? I've found it useful.

Before NoFap, my choices were:

watch porn
talk to girls.

Porn always won.

After NoFap, my choices are:

blue balls
talk to girls.

Blue balls can go eat a bag of gangrenous dicks.

Porn is the problem, masterbation is healthy - but ffs don't spank the monkey 5x a day. But again, I don't think porn is healthy - you should want to chase skirts not pixels. The dopamine studies are alarming - porn dopamine rushes last longer than actual sex and peak higher than most addictive drugs.

Porn + masterbation rewires your brain - that ain't healthy. r/nofap is for those guys that have a porn + masterbation problem.

Self control is a virtue. Conquer thyself and you will become unstoppable.

Edit: I think nofap is a good thing, even if you don't have a porn issue

I practice nofap and have on and off streaks since last year. Now I can happily say I don't masturbate at all and get laid weekly. If I didn't have sex every week then maybe I would consider jacking off but 100% no porn!

No Fap 10/10

Nofap and no porn is interesting. Rewiring your brain to like people and not the computer screen. The most animalistic savage sex I've had was when I was doing nofap and came out of the flatline. Nofap me semen retention also does something to you physically. For me it makes my face clear up and I don't forget things. There is an extra swagger to my step. I did an experiment when I was in university. I would fap the same day as class and see what happened. People would pretty much ignore me. I took the time to dress well too. If I went 3-4 days nofap, the same women would want to touch me, talk to me, be attracted to me in some way. They would be more direct with me and make it easier to get a drink with them and do whatever. There is something to it but I can't find any studies. For now it's still considered bro science.

Motivation is 150%. Productivity is high as well. I can go longer in the gym. Energy is endless and I have an ego and determination. I see what I like and go for it. No inhibitions. I get less sleep and the aggression makes me want to lift more weight. Weight loss is easier because of increased intensity in the gym. When I eat junk food my body tells me to stop eating it asap.

For me it does wonders. But the initial 3-4 days to get into nofap and semen retention is annoying. If you go into a flatline from nofap no porn, it sucks. But it's the risk you take.

Constant masturbation is dangerous. Porn added to that is completely toxic.

RPFlame · 2017-01-01T07:20:52+00:00

You obviously haven't read the sidebar books yet, because both "Models" by Manson and "No More Mr. Nice Guy" advocate healthy masturbation over porn wiring.

Turns out there's more than one solution to solve a porn problem.

Also, fuck those who think that "sex can't be like porn". Porn didn't invented the porn sex. The porn sex was tailored to be in line with the viewer's deepest desires. They are those who want to fuck a girl they want hard, and those who do. Way before video porn was a thing.

The_BitterTruth · 2017-01-01T10:45:15+00:00

I haven't watched porn in several months, and I don't remember the last time when I beat my own meat (not counting finishing on a girl) - or wanted to.

I feel sort of liberated from watching porn. I always thought to myself, "these are the kinds of girls I should be fucking, but why aren't I?" - this always brought down my mood. It also brought down motivation in other areas in my life. I used to watch a lot of porn and couldn't get hard or turned on by regular stuff anymore.

Anytime I beat my own meat I always thought to myself, "I shouldn't be doing this - someone should be doing this for me." It often made me feel lonely beating my own meat, even though I don't think that it's morally wrong or anything.

Right now I'm fucking girls often enough that I don't think about jerking off - and I think it's a good place to be in.

If I ever get into a dry spell again I might re-adopt my once-a-week routine. These are just my personal reasons and I'm not putting this out here as advice or suggesting anything.

Nofap is great.

But for those that are so freaking nervous at the very least cut out porn. I cut out all of it and the energy boost and confidence is so real. I was a blue pill on nofap at one point and I still emitted alpha tendencies. Shit is real.

Terminal-Psychosis · 2017-01-01T06:29:38+00:00

There are a tiny minority of freaks that can't keep their hands off their own dick for more than 5 min. /nofap is for them. It has nothing to do with TRP.

Felt motivated as fuck.

Felt like a man.

I didn't feel like a slave to women.

All fully achievable without denying yourself a healthy pleasure.

And yes, prolonged abstinence decreases test levels.

Try it out and see, best method to know if it works

Redpill1591 · 2017-01-01T14:51:21+00:00

My sex drive is way too high to go more than a couple of days, although Ive been trying just to test out my self control

PantsonFire1234 · 2017-01-03T02:02:17+00:00

Just dont fap to much. Make sure your balls are refilled. 7 days tops.

Because you achieved something difficult, doesn't matter what it was. You could reproduce that feeling with something as simple as cold showers.

People take it too srsly. You can go nocoffee or something, the effects will be the same. Its only about dopamine, your discipline and nothing else.

CaptainCringeworthy · 2017-01-01T16:55:54+00:00

Masturbation is healthy and natural.

GeekGood · 2017-01-01T10:36:14+00:00

I would never ever use NoFap.

I remember reading a study that said that a mans testo levels rise for 5 - 7 days, after that .. It decreases unless he ejaculates.

So unless you have sex every 5-7 days, you should masturbate.

There is a reason why people who are virgins at a high age / dont masturbate feel like betas / non aggresive. Their testo levels are low as fk.
