Why the fuck would I?

Just to see if you can manage to abstain, and to give your body a break. It may very much reward you if you had excessive masturbation habits before, if only with more free time to pursue more worthwhile endeavours than sexual gratification.

But anon, I'm not fapping.

I can really only last a week before breaking down, if I'm being honest. Longest time I think has probably been two weeks. That's insane to think about saying how I've been jerking since I was 12-13 years old. Anyway, nofap is actually pretty good. The main reason I'm doing it or at least trying to is so that I don't end up getting ED in case I ever get laid. Also, testosterone levels and whatnot (not that that matters to me; I'm 18 and can grow a full beard).

I had a couple of days in, then I freaked out at a video game before uni this morning, punching myself in the head many times, then skipped uni and fapped 6/7 times today.

Maybe it's the brain damage but I feel hopeful to rise above this temporary setback and to do better than before.

How the hell do you do it 6 times in a single day? Merely once a day for four days in a row is painful for me. The most I've done in a single day is probably 3, and that's extremely rare.

Porn/deviantart/fatty shit on my phone, sometimes I need a double tap to actually fall asleep, or put myself back to sleep to escape this miserable world.

nofap is a big waste of energy. Wouldn't it be more productive to work towards actual goals that actually get you things vs. just not fapping?

I'm starting to think there might be something to this. Seems the only days I wake up with the motivation not to lie in bed until the mid-afternoon, are days when I didn't masturbate the day before.

Exactly, that's the thing.

More time, more energy to do the things that matter.

However let me add, fapping makes some things hard, but not impossible:

>decide to run to work for 8am because reasons

>never good at being together in the morning (usually HAVE to fap)

>Fap.

>Run half hour to work

why.

>have court-mandated meeting

>"Oh I have enough time to fap first"

>eating donuts and fapping

>have to run quick and keep steady for about a mile

>my sides, literally

why do i keep doing this

Not to mention the probably HUNDREDS of times I've missed out on life because I HAD to fap..

>have movie date after work

>go home and fap

>wake up

>not fapping wastes energy

>gaining energy is wasting energy

nigger do you know mathematics

>>117759

How the hell does it actually give you energy though aside from saving the physical energy required to fap (which isn't much). My point is, wouldn't you be better off focusing on something that actually gives you something tangible (looks, money, status, etc…) instead?

>>117760

I don't know how to explain it but you feel more energized and more focused when on nofap. You should try it.

>>117762

Last time I did it was at summercamp years ago and it just gave me anxiety and made me so constantly horny I couldn't sleep. 0/10

Nofap is bullshit. Fapping hardly affects my life and if anything keeps me more productive because it's easier to disregard women. It takes me a maximum of 20 minuets to fap every few days.

Probably a scam to get retards to, "man up and marry that bitch".

>>117797

Or perhaps it's for people who would fap a man 5 times before being thrown out of the house to begin their day.

The logic behind no fap seems plausible

>not getting layed

>body releases more testosterone and increases competitive behaviour in effort to get layed

>fap (body thinks your getting layed)

>already meeting all ultimate biological goal of reproducing so you become more complacent

I've decided to give it a go, but I'm gonna fap just enough to keep my reproductive organs active. Say, once a week. I did no fap for a month before and had no problems with it (and I was so horny at the end I almost came just from looking at hentai gifs without even touching my dick).

That's really the best idea if you want to do this at all. If you don't fap at all you'll probably just have a wet dream or something anyway. That's why I started masturbating in the first place. I didn't fap until I was 17.

The thing though, is that actual sex does something more to your body then the pure physical behavior.

Oxytoxin or whatever it's called (not oxycotin) is some brain chemical that involves human contact/bonding.

So when people say "it's just sex", it's not really.

>>117818

>>fap (body thinks your getting layed)

My body knows I'm not getting laid.

>>117818

Here is the thing. Due to evolution, a part of our brain has urges for sexual stimulation. 40,000 years ago there was no lube and no porn so you either jerked it to a clay idol of a fertility goddess or you tried to find a woman (or man, if that's your thing). Nobody gets addicted to jerking it to clay idols with no lube.

Now we have basically virtual reality sex. Headphones + HD porn + all sorts of gadgets and lubes. What's been the trend for the last few years? POV porn with no contrived scenarios. Virtual girlfriends. 3d goggles coming up next. Worry about the end of our species, right? Anyway it's just like any other drug our brains haven't evolved to handle. Sugar additions, alcohol addictions (if you are native), etc. It's genetic. If you have the wrong genes you become a rat in a skinner box hitting the lever for the heroin over and over until it kills you.

My advice if you think this is you then treat it like an addition. Don't go anywhere you can see porn (stay off /b/). Delete the porn on your drives. Delete your bookmarks. Don't be the proverbial alcoholic going into the bar just to watch. You will have a drink. That's why it's called alcoholism.

EVENTUALLY the cravings will stop. I will say this. I quit smoking and quit porn/fap, and porn/fap was far far harder. But when you think about something all the time and can't stop, that's how you know it is an addiction. The first step is to admit you have a problem.

>If we were all given all the sex and cuddles we want from 10/10 gfs then we wouldn't be fapping

Nope. The thing about girls is that they are human beings that don't turn on/off for our satisfaction. They have their own needs. The beauty of porn and fapping is it is whatever you want whenever you want. Instant gratification. You don't have to be nice to your porn folder, or try to make it happy, and it doesn't get angry when you spend 12 hours binging on vidya.

Like every mammal, humans have elaborate courtship and mating rituals. That's work. Porn cuts right to the reward without any of the effort, and as I said our brains are wired for that. Again, skinner box.

Speaking from personal experience, I had an easier time quitting smoking. That means its an addiction at least for me.

>The thing about girls is that they are human beings that don't turn on/off for our satisfaction

Yeah. That's the problem.

This to be quite honest with y'all
