what is the gain?
seemingly no fapping does not exclude sexual activity
and swapping out masturbation with connecting yourself with strangers energies can backfire a whole lot
everything is addiction, anyhow.. addiction is simply put your brain thinking i cant wait for next time already implying there is a next time
not feeling pleasure can be done in many other ways than excluding masturbation
for instance you could get a stick and slap whatever part of your body weakly for a long time
you wont get any real damage, but you will feel the pain, which will at some point get stronger and stronger
now everything positive should be more intense than it was before
the human brain is really not that complicated, humans..

It doesn't hurt to grow some balls and keep them that way. It's a very simple and easy way to improve mood and assertiveness. Just takes a few days of self-discipline.
Nothing's as pathetic as the masturbation addict who is constantly tired, negative, weak, out of energy because his body desperately tries to keep his testicles loaded.
If you feel demotivated and there's a noticeable power drain in your loins, then you should seriously consider abstinence for a while. Avoiding porn and porn sites helps immensely.
It's not a miracle cure for anything though, no matter what your self-help celebrity of the week tells you. Most of them are glorified salesmen who don't know shit about thorough research and healthy scepticism.

Whereas before I had a dead look in my eyes, no motivation, not easily aroused and a dick that wasnt fully erect.
We are biologically wired to our sexuality, when an animal is horny it will be active in looking for a mate because it needs to perpetuate its genetics. This sexual energy you can use in your daily life for good things. Those aspie basement dwellers who are jacking off everyday never feel compelled to touch a girl or to shove their anxiety to the side and socialize with people because there is no sex drive. Its pathetic.
Plus when you do orgasm its always fucking fantastic, my loads are HUGE. My orgasm goes on for a few seconds whereas normally it was a very small and shortfelt.

I couldn't get it up the first time I was with a girl and hated myself for like two weeks. Stopped jacking off in hopes of being able to get it up next time.
Two weeks after that I lost my virginity, still didn't feel super into it and didn't finish. I honestly don't think porn is that much of a factor.
Sure, if you jack off for an hour before you're going to have sex it'll be a problem, but anxiety and how attracted you are to your partner is a much larger factor in the whole ED thing.
Porn addiction obviously is a bad thing and if you think you're at that point I'd suggest trying to fix it, but I'd think the majority of men are fine.
Not watching porn will probably increase your sex drive since yeah you're not cumming and your body wants to, so obviously you'll seek girls out. But don't treat not watching porn as a panacea, since there are plenty of other factors in determining sexual drive and performance.

I watch porn relatively rarely. I mainly ERP. I enjoy online friendships as a result, one of the longest has been a great support for me for several years. I feel like I learn more about interacting with people by doing it. I also feel I've become more confident and secure in myself.
I feel like people underestimate the importance your partner has in this. You're not a fucking machine that's supposed to produce boners. Stimulation without arousal can bring you to orgasm. Stimulation with anxiety cannot, unless it's intense stimulation coupled with intense arousal. It's a biological function.
I don't think that porn can't make you find normal, not pornographically-idealized people less attractive, but I don't think it has any magical properties comparable to the effects of heavy opiates. I broke that addiction, and my dongle returned to normal within a week- not that it was even non-functioning during my use! There's no difference to your brain between your hand and a butt, save for the interaction/stimulus involved with being with another person.

No.1508
I think there's something to it, but it's probably not a profound biological change.
I think taking steps to stop doing something that you find addictive can be very powerful in of itself. Just the realization that you have that sort of agency over your life, more than anything else.
>>1349Don't be too hard on yourself, and don't beat yourself (off) up about it.
I think it helps to realize that at any given time you have two 'voices' in your head. The constant one that wants the best for you, and the temporary one that is looking for something in the moment. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between them, because they sound the same; the voice that says "I'm done with porn" sounds exactly like the voice that says "Uh, I might as well, it's not a big deal" etc.
Keep in mind the the first voice doesn't go away, and it is the only one you should listen to. You set about making something happen because it's meaningful to you, and there will always be momentary challenges that make it difficult. It's entirely within your power to do what you know you really want to do.
Good luck.

I've said it elsewhere and I'll say it here. Masturbation itself isn't necessarily the issue, porn is. I agree that you should abstain from porn AND masturbation for at least 90 days to help reset your system, but to then never masturbate ever again is stupid.

>We have seen that the internal secretions of the sex glands stand at the basis of the individual's physical and mental vitality and that sex hormones are present in the external as well as in the internal secretions of the gonads. Many of the effects attributed to such hormones, as we have seen, are due to the physiological effect of resorbed semen. Conservation of semen means conservation of sex hormones and increased vigor, while loss of semen means loss of hormones and diminished vitality; also chronic deficiency of such hormones leads to the symptoms of senility, which Voronoff and Steinach strove to overcome by increasing the amount of sex hormones in the blood.
>The semen is a viscid albuminous fluid, alkaline in reaction, which is very rich in calcium and phosphorus, also in lecithin, cholesterol, albumen, nucleoproteins, iron, vitamin E, etc. In the ejaculation of the normal man, about 226 million spermatozoa are given off; these are rich in phosphorized fats (lecithin), cholesterol (the parent-source of sex hormones), nucleoproteins and iron. An ounce of semen is considered to be equal in value to sixty ounces of blood, of which it constitutes an extract of some of its most valuable of constituents, as far as its vitalizing power is concerned. Dr. Frederick McCann remarks on this point, "From what has been stated it must be admitted that the spermatic fluid does possess potentialities justifying the belief of ancient writers concerning its vital properties."
>Excessive voluntary seminal losses (through masturbation, coitus, coitus interruptus, and contraceptive practices) are debilitating and harmful to the body and brain.
>Continence is beneficial to the brain (for conserved lecithin from retained semen is a true brain food.) Hence some of the greatest intellectual geniuses in ancient and modern times led continent lives. These include Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, Spinoza, Newton, Kant, Beethoven, Herbert Spencer, etc.
>The gynecologist, Ribbing, says that he has known many young men who have lived in total continence without difficulty or injury. Clarke says that continence increases health and energy, while incontinence does the reverse. According to Surbled, "the evils of incontinence are well known and undisputed; those produced by continence are imaginary." The great authority, Acton, says that the popular idea that abstinence causes the genital organs to atrophy and produces impotence is a grave error. "Chastity no more injures the body than the soul," he says. The gynecologist Hegar, considers the "sexual necessity" myth an illusion, while Ribbing, another eminent gynecologist, points out the needs for sexual control and continence. The noted physiologist, Marshall, in his "Introduction to Sex Physiology", points out the need for such restraint over the reproductive function and the sublimation of sex energy into higher cerebral forms of expression, as was the case with many intellectual geniuses of the past, who led continent lives. Dr. L. Robinowitch, a prominent American neurologist, says that "sexual continence is not only harmless but beneficial". No.1694
I stumbled upon nofap after completely failing to get it up my first several opportunities to lose my virginity, with several different chicks. It was fuckin humiliating.
After reading up on the science and an assload of anecdotal information, I decided to give it a go. What was there to lose?
Christ in heaven, did that sexual energy bring me to sin. Again and again. Those were glorious days for me. After that, I've relapsed and hopped back aboard several times, always with similar results. Feel like shit when I start looking at porn again, brainfog when I masturbate more than once daily, all that shit.
Now I stay away from porn. Not always easy, but the longer you do it the easier it gets. I still masturbate sometimes but only to mental fantasies about chicks I wanna fuck.
I don't think nofap holds benefits for everyone, but I do think it does for most younger guys. Teens to early thirties, probably. Having such an incredible and long-lasting dopamine surge in the form of infinite internet pornography really fucks you in a lot of ways. Here's an example of a big one.
Depression and desensitization to life in general. I experienced constant apathy and lethargy and nothing in real life held any appeal. Even opportunities to fuck real girls was not that tempting compared to indulging my fetishes for hours. I did a bunch of reading on my depression and symptoms and it looked like I was dopamine deficient. Took several measures including some supplements and behavioral changes to increase dopamine, but nothing. All it did was make me angry most of the time. I concluded I was wrong. But some time later I came across the concept of neurochemical homeostasis, which is a fancy was of saying your brain keeps shit as level as it can. Meaning that when exposed to an assload of dopamine over long periods, which is causes by porn and masturbation (also video games) the brain responds by reducing the number of dopamine receptors. Meaning, it takes much more dopamine to get the same sort of buzz than it did previously. As a result, only superstimuli like porn and the like feels pleasurable anymore, though not nearly as much as it once did. And every other potential source of pleasure in life starts to feel hollow and a waste of time.

In a few weeks I'll reach the 90 day point (no porn, no masturbation, no orgasm). Once I reach that, I think I'm going to reintegrate into fapping again (and yes, even using porn), but this time take it at a much slower rate. I used to fap at least once a day, every day, but this time I'll try to keep it at once every two weeks, or perhaps as little as once a month. I'm still going to abstain from NSFW sites as often as I can, because I think that constant glimpses of sexual content throughout the day is damaging on its own and it might make me horny enough to make me fall into a fap binge.

I suffer from things like insomnia, brain fog, food allergies, and many others.

>>2322I'm not that
>>2293 anon, but reduction of masturbation is not some magic thing so how you suppose it helps with insomnia, brain fog (what is this thing anyway), food allergies etc. This is all sort of separate things but you can start working with them. I guess insomnia and brain fog can be connected tho. Try to establish some good sleeping pattern
https://justgetflux.com/ this is really good software and there is similar for tablets
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux&hl=en . Don't sit on your computer through the night if you have some work to do better try wake up early. Maybe try to take warm shower before you are go to bed. Or at least wash your legs in warm water (you should have warm legs when you are trying to get sleep, this is the case with me). Do not drink tea (black or green) for four hours before time you are going to go sleep and of course don't drink coffee late in the day. Don't eat just before you are going to bed, and don't eat much on your supper and don't eat food that difficult to digest on supper. Everyday try to do some physical exercises for your body. Try to not see movies before you are going to bed they can excite you and you would have trouble with sleeping. Also when you are in bed try to not thing about your life, try to not think thoughts that get you exited and upset and keeps you from sleep. Try to imagine some nice things. This something I wanted to say about sleep. About allergies – man, this is shit to have allergies. My friend has this problem so every spring he takes antihistamines, maybe you should see the doctor with that problem.
And most of all do not seek some simple ridiculous cure from all problems (as fap reduction or abolishing) things don't work this way.

Here's a PROTIP for you guys:
The nootropic bromocriptine is a prolactin inhibitor, and prolactin is one of the major hormones involved in the negative effects of orgasm. TRY IT

I'm this >>2289 bro. I don't know anything about physical health benefits from nofap (actually I think that maybe it's bad if you keep it on really long period). But I have several important psychological benefits. Firstly when I fap much (like 2 times a day) I get bored from normal vanilla pictures and start fap on degenerate staff (hentai, milfs, bdsm, porn). And I feel myself really bad after fapping on this shit. I fully realize that for most people this is normal, but I have been very religious up to my 16 years (I dropped religion many years ago tho) and have some unconscious moral values since those times. So if I don't want to fap on degenerate staff I need to reduce fapping and I'm currently doing exactly this. Second thing is that I have made some project recently and I need to use my imagination for it. And abstaining from masturbation really helps me build some sort of attitude that I can't achieve when I'm fapping. So as you can see I don't seek some sort of health benefits from nofap.

Just relapsed half an hour ago and I feel like shit. It's tough since I'm on the computer and phone a lot. Broke my 6 day streak to wank to some pathetic doujins. Biggest streak was only 10 days.

Thought I was doing a lax no-fap, sparingly indulging myself as opposed to binging every day.
Well, today I binged after nearly a week without touching myself and now I feel absolutely horrible, drained and depressed.
I wish I could catch the fuckers responsible for the sexual revolution and strangle them one by one.

This. I'm really curious about that.
I'm trying 30 days out of curiosity, and right now I've done 7 days. I don't feel any different. I do feel more focused, but since my overall situation changed a lot since last week, I don't know if it really has anything to do with anything.
I feel good not watching porn tho. It terms of symbols and affects it's really the worst. Not that I have a problem with violence or weird fetishes, I'm no stupid christian, but… I mean, everything else in porn is even worse.

I haven't fapped for 4 or 5 days. I've had no desire to even do so. Should I be worried or something? I just watched porn for scientific purposes and I barely popped a boner. I've usually fapped 4-14 times a week.

I eat a tonne of meat.
This is why I'm starting to get worried. I fap like once a week now not because I'm doing nofap but because my libido has hit the rock bottom.

I think this no fap fad is awful. The dumbest bro science get treated like a fact. Just because something is hard to do doesn't mean It's an noble goal.
There is a difference between a addiction and a simple stress relieve.
These threads just assume you are addicted and you have to stop. This is AA style horse shit.

Like I said it's like like AA. These kind of threads don't make a difference between an adiction and normal behavior.
Mastubation = evil is the narrative. Moderation isn't an option.
Fapping has some benefits and can actually raised the confidence. This religious and feminist (female masturbation = emancipation ,male masturbation = objectification )motivated prudishness has to stop.

I can't stop jacking off to verbal humiliation femdom porn videos where the girls call me a loser and tell me how pathetic I am while encouraging me to cum for them.

I had motivation, my girl. We used to have tons of sex and I loved her. Now she's gone and I'm still here. Did around a week of no fapping in total in July, around two in total in August, currently a whole week in this month. But the bad thing is I picked up anal play again

Your constant fapping is causing you to be aggressive and angry. This is causing you to lash out at others on this board.

I've tried nofap in the past. I really gave it a chance but for me personally it's not worth it.
I thought I could turn my life around and fix my social issues by not masturbating.
Well surprisingly it's not that simple. You can't just take a symptom of your misery and declare it the cause. I masturbate often because I'm depressed. I'm not depressed because I masturbate.
Nofap is just avoiding the problem by blaming it on something. That might be helpful for some people but for me it didn't do the trick.
It actually made me feel worse overall. I felt like shit because I couldn't resist the urge after a while. I pressured myself into believing I'm addicted.
Everyone acts like nofap is the universal cure but it simply isn't.

>Nofap is just avoiding the problem by blaming it on something. That might be helpful for some people but for me it didn't do the trick.
m8, it was stupid thing to think that nofap can actually solve some of your problems. I despise porn and my fap addiction and when I break my nofap I inevitably start fap on more and more degenerate staff. I feel that it's wrong thing to do to myself so I fight with this and feel myself awesome when I'm succeeding. Thinking that nofap can cure your social issues is plain dumb, except maybe that fact that you don't feel yourself guilty dirty masturbator when on nofap.
