On day 12 and need some support. Just flickered a porn video on my browser and felt a surge of chemicals wash over my body. Tryna be free
I'm not NoFap but I switched from masturbating 1-2 times a day to 1-2 times a week and it's been good for me. The biggest thing was cutting out porn since that stuff is not only addictive but totally screws with your perception of reality.
To be honest I think NoFap for extended periods of time is stupid but whatever floats your boat man.
Nice edgy shirt cunt

>To be honest I think NoFap for extended periods of time is stupid but whatever floats your boat man.
have you tried? I feel like it's a good test of the will at least, to give up what is for sure at least a compulsion though maybe not a true addiction (maybe). I haven't gotten laid in 8 months so I figure I might as well give it a shot
>>37447278
I have switched too less frequency, too. But still depend on watching porn, which is the core problem.
What are you watching to get in the mood?
>haven't fapped since wednesday
>quite possibly the longest I've gone since I discovered masturbation
>the porn addiction though
>I've looked at porn every day for some masochistic reason
I think it's getting better though. I'm passing the tipping point where the chemical rush from looking at porn isn't worth the blue balls afterwards.
I'd like to get to a place where I'm only doing it once or twice a week, but I feel like I need to just focus on quitting cold turkey for now.
No fap is so old lol
>tfw made it like 54 days in Bootcamp but now I've fallen back into it and been fapping almost daily the past 1 month since I graduated and watching porn
Feels bad man already fapped today but tomorrow starts day 1
Also my skin is the worst it's been in a while.
Inb4 hurr durr fapping doesn't affect skin, for me it does
>>37447398
no visual stimuli, mang. You shouldn't even look at yourself in the mirror
Not really doing nofap but I guess you could call it lessfap. I'm at about once a week now.
I like it because it makes makes me really horny. Like, stick-things-in-my-butt horny. And I just don't get that if I'm jerking it every day.
>>37447434
watching porn is for sure the crux. the flux of hormones and chemicals that wash over your body in a split second of watching porn (you'll only really notice this after a week or more of abstaining) is ridiculous and the compulsion is unfathomably greater when porn is present
hahahah first time here. What is the point of not fapping? What is the benefit? Please tell stories about your achievements and or experiences. virgin here as well.
Impressed by the difference in this guy from nofap

Started on June 1st. Felt my test levels raise yesterday and somehow arranged 4 different dates via Tinder (never had dates before/am kissless virgin). Had to rub one out that night in bed because I started fantasising what I'd do to these girls. I'll try to limit it to 1 fap a week. No porn.
>>37447571
that poor fucking fish
>>37447595
It's called "working toward a goal," dumbass. the simple act of not being an aimless fuck does the same.

Is this guy legit ?
>>37447239
the biggest benefits of nofap is more free time, better sexual experience, and your brains reward system being better regulated
if thats a good enough reason for you then DO NOT FAP
>muh testosterone
it drops after a week, its the reward system that matters
>muh low sex drive
once you get with a girl again your sex drive will shoot through the roof
>where's youre proof!
remember when you first fapped? did you have a great sex drive beforehand? no. now remember after your first fap you started fapping daily. Same shit happens with nofap once you get with a woman finally
I cannot stress how much it improves your reward system
>>37447239
>Girls that wear awful camo pants in urban settings
>>37447239
She's cute but looks almost exactly like my grandma did in her twenties so my boner is confused
>>37447239
Fap a couple times a week, cut out porn completely.
>>37447551
>Like, stick-things-in-my-butt horny.
damn, same
>>37447480
54 days fuck dude how big was your load? N-no homo...
>>37447278
It doesn't screw your perception of reality. Look around you. Iphones and sexual music videos and tanning salons and GQ and Playboy. Being hypersexualized is normal now. We aint in 1916 anymore
>>37447239
tomorrow will be day 1 wish me luck boyos, gonna see if this nofap shit is real or what
>>37447278
Gonna have to respectfully disagree with you senpai, in my experience you need at least two weeks of nofap to experience effects like massive increases in confidence and aggression and voice deepening
haven't fapped this entire year. unclouded my mind and increased energy by a marked amount. helped me lose 60 pounds in the same time frame. there is no benefit to masturbating and only drawbacks any thinking, logical person would cease immediately
>camo
>weed shirt
nah m878
>>37447239
Switched to a tantric sex framework that's sort of like NoFap but mainly just involves not ejaculating.
And because I know it will be asked, no, I don't get blueballs. I found a way to eliminate the possibility of that happening.
I'll elaborate more if there's enough interest.
>>37450584
blue balls psychological
>>37447239
Is it ok if I had a wet dream? I'm 26 btw
>>37450957
sauce?
>>37447239
Cut down from daily / twice a day to semi-weekly, if I feel too tense.
Good thing is that when I come, it's like a ton.
>>37450957
it means you've spent the day having lewd thoughts and should cut that shit out. it's the same as fapping btw
>>37451059
https://youtu.be/jRKz82v5JQY
A wet dream is a fucking wet dream.
Don't beat yourself up for having a sex drive you idiotic asshole.
>>37451115
you're wholly uneducated on the subject. a wetdream is identical to jacking off and is just as unnatural and unnecessary. heed my words and you may yet learn something about the matter
>>37451177
>masturbating
>willfully and consciously fucking yourself
>wet dream
>an intense dream of a sexual nature where you ejaculate.
A dream is a dream, you ass-backwards fuckboy. It's rare that you ever realize you're in a dream, and you can't be held accountable for them.
How afraid of your own sexuality are you that you punish yourself for your own subconscious?
>>37451265
the effects on the body and mind are identical it doesn't matter that with one you're asleep and the other you are awake. you're acting as if the dreams are uncontrollable and I'm telling they're not. you only have wet dreams if before bed your mind wonders on sexual subjects or day dreamed about it at some point while awake. they don't just happen, as you seem to be implying. they are a result of deliberate thought
>>37450394
well I just got a GF so I'm gonna be cutting down even more for sure. have you actually seem those benefits yourself or are they a placebo? the voice deepening especially.
>>37447239
I'm on day 12 too! YEAH BOY
>>37448407
Same boat anon, I went on a couple dates (my first ever) despite being a kissless virgin and now have a gf and i'm only a virgin which should be changing soon.
>>37451315
You have a chastity fetish, dont you?
Wet dreams happen. If you're looking at porn all day without jacking off, yeah I'd imagine you're more likely to have one, but don't pretend that they don't happen randomly.
They're perfectly natural, and the body can and will do them as a 'systems check' occasionally. Do you think every boner you get is willfull and intentional?
Are you even male? Or a woman that's trolling /fit/?
>>37451322
Yes, my voice is already pretty deep so when I get beyond a certain point in nofap the people around me actually start commenting on how my voice sounded like a famous radio presenter.
As for the personality changes at least in my case they were so jarring that it's impossible to attribute solely to placebo, I basically became a little ultra-focused ball of aggression, confidence and horniness, the only thing I can compare it to is the sort of confident energetic euphoria that you get while fasting or on keto diets. At least in my case nofap seemed to completely change my personality, practically everything about me changed, my favourite foods changed(started eating way more fruit for some reason) and my favourite music and TV shows also changed
>>37451384
wet dreams do happen, if you have sexual thoughts prior to bed and not randomly, as you seem to think. they are a direct result of the thoughts during your day, and especially the ones you have while in bed prior to sleep. your ignorance of the human body is showing itself again when you say nocturnal emissions are a "systems check". your body needs no such systems check and a man can go from birth to death in perfect health without ever ejaculating or needing to for any reason. and again it shows when you equate boners with wet dreams as if they're at all similar
you're completely uneducated on this subject and it astounds me that you have the chutzpah to speak on it as if you're some kind of expert when you don't know the first thing about the sexual functions of the body
>>37450584
plz share
>>37447571
You're really a changed person when you don't fap. At least for me, if I meet a qt who shows interest in me I WILL follow up on her with deliberation. Like a deadly hunter of some sort. It turns you into a machine of intense sexual energy, most of which can be used for good. It doesn't let you stagnate in place because if you can't fap then you need to find the real deal to release yourself.
>>37450584
Pls continue anon, I've tried googling tantra but I couldn't find much information
>>37450981
>in a no fap thread
There is no point in doing no fap. You're only torturing yourself.
The only "real" way to play no fap is by actually occupying yourself with something that you don't ever feel the need to fap like having a hobby.
I've tried no-fap a few times and crash after 3ish days. I have no problem staying away from porn, however, and that seems to make somewhat of a difference so far (been maybe 5 days).
>>37451419
Found the underaged phoneposter.
>>37451412
shit man, well I'll probably just ride the streak I'm on now and see if I get any effects from elongated NoFap. I had some slight confidence increase after 3-4 days before.
Starting Day 3. Trying to go the whole summer
>>37451443
>it's torture to not masturbate
that's how you know you have an addiction
>>37451419
>not randomly
That sure as fuck hasn't been my experience little buddy.
>equating boners with wet dreams
To demonstrate that they are both involuntary.
> it astounds me that you have the chutzpah
Isn't the point of the nofap meme to get higher test (ie chutzpah)??
> you don't know the first thing about the sexual functions of the body
I have one. And unless I'm made of sparkling fairydust then I'm fairly certain that wet dreams happen randomly as well to other men, and that since they are dreams, that you cannot be held accountable for them.
tl;dr ur fukn retarded senpai
>>37451513
>taking that statement literally
I don't really need to fap since I have sex with my girlfriend about every other day when she isn't on her period. It's been like this for 1.5 years. Pretty cash m8.
I still fap though.
>>37451517
>random boners
you aren't having random wet dreams. the healthy male body does not produce nocturnal emissions. you're either having lurid thoughts prior to bed or you have a literal inflammation of your sexual organs that you need to have checked
>boners and wetdreams both involuntary
wet dreams are not involuntary as I have already explained
>meme meme high test meme
the point of nofap is to return your body to a state of normalcy and health. an increase in vigor is a natural consequence of health
>blah blah I don't know what I'm talking about blah
I've already explained how wet dreams are not random and how they come about, you can either listen to me and learn, or you can continue to bluster half-cocked about things you obviously know nothing about
>>37451427
>>37451435
The key here is control over the pelvic floor. During orgasms, the kegel muscles are engaged and it is recommended that you work these like you would work any other muscle group.
As men, you can teach yourself how to orgasm without ejaculation. Why does NoFap exist? Collectively people suspect that fapping too much makes them feel like crap. And they'd be right; the chemicals released post-orgasm are meant to make you inactive. With tantra, and through withholding ejaculation, it won't make you as groggy.
I could go on and on, but it would get into some spiritual woo woo stuff, which won't really connect with the userbase. To summarize it as rationally as I can.
>do kegel exercises (normal and reverse)
This muscle can be located by halting the flow of urine. The reverse kegel, more or less, is used to push out shit. Obviously don't do it if you have to take a crap.
>go slowly
The point of no return exists and, if you overstimulate yourself too much, obviously you're going to cum.
But really, kegel exercises are fucking key.
>>37451600
Those are some hot credentials you're flaunting, anon. Excellently cited too.
You're a sad, confused man who doesn't know where the line between the things he can and cannot control are.
If you don't want to fap, that's fine. No porn, more power to you. If you're doing it for religious reasons then I am actually, actively rooting for you.
But don't try to shame somebody, or yourself, for having a wet dream. It happens. It's natural. Don't get bent out of shape about it.
>>37451695
I'm not shaming anyone I'm explaining the causes of wet dreams and trying to dispel your misguided notion that they are somehow random, natural, or necessary when they are none of those things. no man in health should ever have a nocturnal emission, if you are, you're doing something wrong in regards to sexual thoughts, or you have a fucking inflammation that you need checking out
A few questions for NoFap Veterans. I started a few days ago, but im still unsure of this system. I watched the "Sex God" Ted Talk and was intrigued about NoFap.
Im 19, so My sex drive remains high, and im still very confident with women able to get them to sleep with me. However, Ive lost the ability to get hard and stay hard, and when I finally do? I can hardly last 2 minutes. I used to go for about 20 and remain solid the entire time.
Will NoFap help with this or not so much? Im very motivated and girls arent the issue. But once it comes time to fuck, Ive lost the ability to get it up, stay up, and last long.
>>37451729
fapping has long been a cause of impotence so I'd say continue not fapping and do kegals
>>37451738
Ive been doing kegels and NoFap! Thanks for the confirmation. Do you know how to contract PC muscle for 5 seconds? Ive been told to do so through various workouts and its impossible. I can only hold for maybe 2 before it automatically realxes
>>37451728
Stop posting.
>>37451767
>reaction image
I take it I've been 'trolled' at least I can go to my workout feeling better that you're not a real retard
Can anyone help me with this? Jerk off pretty regularly (like once a day ish) but recently its taken me near an hour to finish and i have to like POUND IT OUT. When I do orgasm it is always extremely intense and I literally cant move for like a minute after. But the problem is no girl can make me cum. It just doesnt happen and Im getting worried...
>>37451765
Like anything else it comes with practice. You can do inner abdominal work to help out like stomach vacuums and planks since they're right ontop of your sexual organs. That's all I can say aside from doing kegals more often
>>37447466
So is lifting
>>37451675
So basically edging?
Also do you flex your quads when you are stopping the cum
>>37447239
>http://yourbrainonporn.com/tools-for-change
Got the k9 website blocker it works pretty well, you just have to tweak it a bit so that it doesnt block some stuff
>did nofap for nearly 7 months
>uni started again and I found myself fapping and looking at porn again, not even being able to resist the urge for 4 weeks
>start looking at bad porn and realize I need a change
>start fapping to fantasies whenever the urge for porn arises
Holy shit this feels 1000x better than finishing to porn. I've never moaned until now. Anyways, I'm gonna try to get uses to the fantasies to get rid of the porn crave. Then I'm going to start nofap again
>>37451881
>So basically edging?
I'd call it edging just without going overboard. So, takes a lot of conscious attention.
Forgot to stress that it's the reverse kegel (push out, same muscle that pushes out shit) to stop yourself from cumming too soon. Flexing quads may work well too.
>>37451952
any benefits you noticed?
>>37451952
That's the best way to do it, systematically. Start with ridding of porn, stick to imagination, then just be done with it.

If you do nofap, make sure the tinder girls you end up with have pics below the neck on their profiles
>>37447278
That awesome I ran 100 days once and have done 14-30 days several times since. Definitely agree porn in the major one to cut. I would recommend doing a long run for a little bit though because it is a unique experience and challenge.
>>37447239
I just want my sensitivity to come back man....
Anytime I get close I fucking ruin it fapping. I just want sex to feel good again.
W-Will nofap help reverse thinning hair?
>>37452326
Use a moisturizing skin cream and cover your dick with it before you go to bed. Stop masturbating and tell your gf (assuming you have one) that you're only going to cum from fucking, so she better get ready. I did those things and it fixed the sensitivity issue for me.
>>37447239
>>37447571
My Experience:
Well I went one week no fap and saw noticeable changes. For some reason I didnt plan to do nofap for a week it just sort of happened. I kept staying up late playing minecraft with my friends for 3 days. By the fourth day i was tired to fap and by the fiftth i just didnt feel like fapping and the sixth and seventh day were just eh and for some reason no urge to fap came up.
But there were changes, When I was in my english class I started to participate more and answer or give opinions to questions raised by the other students. I engaged in conversation more at the gym especially with the cuties that squat at my uni gym. Worked in with a girl for my squats and I held up conversations and even made her laugh and giggle. This has happened with 3 different girls at my uni gym. Generally I look more approachable I guess, maybe the girls saw it in me? I dont know maybe perception change or maybe totally placebo.
On monday I blew a huge fucking load and that morning I went to school and everything felt dull. Almost like my everything went to vibrate to just eh. What I found really weird and crazy and that kinda even spooked me was the second I saw a really pretty sorority girl I got a subliminal message in my head. If you have seen fight club then youll know what I mean. Kind of like a really fast frame of a porn scene quickly appeared in my head and then vanished; I pictured my creamping her beautiful body. After that I knew porn does fuck with a little bit of your perception.
Thats my experience with no fap.
So i went to a strip club last week (first and last time). Was the first time i'd seen a live nude women in the year since i left my GF.
Did absolutely nothing for me, no hard on, no excitement. I was bored the whole time, sober to start and a few drink didn't make it any better.
I think that's how i know i've been watching too much porn. Gonna stop cold turkey for a few months, See if i can build that mystique back for the opposite sex.
>>37452540
>placebo
>placebo
>maybe it's placebo
>I had an effect but maybe it was placebo! x1000
gee, maybe after the 100,000th fucking time it's not a fucking placebo and it's a real effect, huh? you ever think about that?
>>37452798
Did it for only a week. Whose to say maybe that week was just really good.
>>37452844
how much evidence for actual tangible effects will you look in the face and brush away as "placebo" before you wake the FUCK up?
Thinking of trying nofap, I spend a ton of time watching porn (2-3 hours a day) although most of that is tame stuff like non nude pics or selfies. I like imagining myself with the girl I'm looking at.
I fear I might be in too deep though because I think about jacking off constantly. Just insanely horny all the time.
>>37447569
idk what's up with you niggaz, i've been without porn for a month and there's no difference.
>>37452902
It's called having healthy testosterone levels.
Why are all you people trying so hard to kill your libido?
>>37452968
your testosterone levels are not "normal" if you're jacking off. your testosterone levels are actually well below normal and decrease with every ejaculation. not jacking off also doesn't "kill the libido" jacking off does, as shown by the growing numbers of young impotent men
>>37452987
Testosterone is directly linked with libido dipshit.
A high libido will make you try to sexually release more often.
Somebody with low testosterone is more likely to not masturbate, as he will have a low sex drive.
I wank twice a day, and can still fuck my gf twice on top of that. If wanking causes such trouble to you lot, get some help.
IMO, unless you're wanking >5 a day, then just stop fapping to porn.
>>37453005
no it wont you're a fucking idiot you know nothing. spread your unscientific anecdotal nonsense some place else not even gonna waste my time
>>37453005

>>37447239
I've been holding down on my frequency lately, been going once a day for a very long time and since I started lifting in february i decided not to fap on workout days on the off chance it would make me weaker/more sleepy, I just used it as an excuse to limit my out of control fapping.
Last week I fapped Mon and then tried nofap but failed Friday.
My problem is that I'm a 22yo kissless no social loser, so not fapping would just kill me, since there is no prospect of me getting any.
My thought process is "why would I deprive myself of one of the few pleasures I have in life, and torture myself?"
I am trying though to limit it in some way, right now I'm averagin 1 every 2 days but ideally I would like to settle on twice a week.
I noticed that my drive is diminishing, maybe my body is finally understanding that i will live the rest of my life alone and changin my sexual metabolism accordingly.
entering monk mode
>>37452468
Yeah this is my standard routine. I have tried scar strips till I noticed it would constrict and make the glans go numb after it had been on there a while.
Honestly reducing how and how much I gap has helped. Sex was getting much better. Too bad that relationship had to go.
I'll stick with it anon. Any more advice?
>>37453159
your drive is diminishing because you keep cumming out your fucking vitality like a dummy
2 and a half months nofap here. I edged for like 1 hour daily for 12 years straight... couldn't even get my dick hard in a fap sesh. got with a girl and my dick was too limp to even stick it in. that is when I decided to quit cold turkey
libido is kind of gone (no urge to fap at all) except for when i wake up with morning wood. i really hope the whole brain resetting after several months and you suddenly being normal meme is true. also I really hope the sensitivity comes back to my dick because, despite not really being a death gripper, I could hardly feel anything when I got a handy
im gonna start going to the gym soon as I am a skinnyfat dyel at the moment. hopefully being in the presence of real women and lifting will help my recovery because as of now I am a shutin NEET with little contact with actual people. im a newfag to this board so I will continue to lurk (god emperor trump has motivated me to improve my life)
>>37447239
Tried one to hold out for a month. Couldn't do it. Had no let out. After two weeks I started to "cheat" edging myself. Would have needed more to do in my life to make it work. The only times I'm going without for more than a day is because I need to do things and I'm traveling.
>>37453446
wow that's one of the dumbest posts I've ever read on this site
literally said in the post that i've been actively holding back
>>37453480
you've outted yourself as a retard my friend

no fap does nothing except agitate you because you're blocking your energy by forcing yourself to not fap
literally pointless lmao

>>37453512
i actually do big surprise i did no fap for a month when i was desperate just like you
you're desperate because your life is shit and you try to hold on and experiment with anything that will make your miserable life better and
>oh yes this! this is the one thing that will truly fix my life!
in an endless circle of desperation
ive been there pal, its tough i know, the only thing that will solve your issues is to surrender and let them be, let go of your control on life which im sure youve heard before, but thats all you can do, thats the only decision youll ever have, just stop fighting life and be completely open to all the emotions and thoughts you feel, stop trying and start being.
love you buddy and good luck

that's rude anon
>>37447239
i dont really care for nofap, but noporn seems decent.
my problem is i can remember it all, all the futa and trap and gay shit i watch, whenever i fap i just see it, i can imagine slapping the balls of young boys and seeing them shriek. sucking the dick of a 3-d futa pov animation. the femdom porn. the trap porn.
i am still using my imagination to fap but i dont think this will actually help.
>>37453553
You are full of shit.But it's OK we all are.
>>37447239
here's my story
watching porn for couple years, pretty much every night, just routine at this point.
Had a girl over, couldn't get a boner, she wasn't really hot but I wanted to fuck her.
ended up 20 minutes of her trying to blow me and a little bit of flacid dick in her vagina
I honestly couldn't feel the tip of my penis which is usually pretty sensitive
after she left I watched a porno and got a boner instantly so I decided to stop fapping, penis was still not sensitive
a couple days into it, I deleted around 200gb of porn
then three days in I started to really get horny and wanted to fuck anything.
made it to day 5 where I was driving around and stopped at a xxx shop and bought a pocket pussy and that night had the best orgasm I've had in a long time, I didn't realise but it felt like I had a cloud around my head the whole time and only after I came did it disappear and I got my clarity back, I was like a sex crazed zombie
by this time I had feeling back in my penis and getting more boners over above average girls, average girls are still not working for me.
Saturday was my last fap, it's almost Tuesday, gonna try cutting it down but not completely out
I did no fap for a whole month back when it was on /b/, the whole crazy urges eventually did go away but I don't see much benefit from doing it for that long
>>37455424
you're addicted
>>37453727
the only thing i imagine is a girl sitting on me letting me eat her ass
i need that so badly breh
I hit 6 months as of June 1st. Don't think I'll ever go back, the extra energy and mental clarity is so worth the not being able to masturbate once you see what the effects are you can usually tell who the chronic masturbaters are in a room. See:low test depressed husks who can't look you in the eye
>>37455494
you're right and it's hard to kick it, I really want to fuck girls again, so I'm going to cut out porn
I fap on porn, on instagram pics and I still get a boner easily whenever I want to fuck a girl
At some point, I was so horny all I wanted to do was to eat pussy and ass so badly
Dunno what's wrong with you guys
>>37455544
sigh. more half measure horseshit from a fap addict
>>37455531
>don't look you in the eye
after not fapping I've found this to be easier. i also don't shake/bounce when idle. it's the little things that let you know how much less of a man you are when masturbating
>>37455600
>>37455531
jesus christ lads get your testosterone checked
>>37447239
all the men fap when they see me, Margaret the hottie.
>>37455667
why? not fapping fixed everything
>>37455679
tell me about Margaret, how did she hurt you?
>>37447480
Woa, mine was 6weeks, but you don't really think about it at training desu
>>37450105
Hahahahahaha best description
>>37453159
>tries it once
>gives up
>>37453068
Never, unless she is out hunting
>>37451738
>fapping has long been a cause of impotence
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE, IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND YOU BUFFOON!
>>37452379
I'm intrigued by this.
Also, /fit/ how come when I get sexually aroused my head feels really cloudy and I get a headache? It's like I can't feel normal arousal anymore.
moderate exercise reduces the effect of visual triggers in nicotine addicts:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090210092738.htm
>After no exercise the smokers showed heightened activity in response to the images in areas of the brain associated with reward-processing and visual attention. After exercise the same areas of activation were not observed, which reflected a kind of 'default mode' in the brain.
reflecting on the long-term effects of smoking reduces susceptibility to visual triggers:
https://www.drugabuse.gov/news-events/nida-notes/2012/04/cognitive-strategy-reduces-craving-by-altering-brain-activity
>smokers reported milder cigarette cravings when they thought about smoking’s harmful effects while viewing smoking cues than when they focused on its pleasures. Brain imaging correlated the reductions in craving with altered activity levels in regions associated with emotional regulation and reward.
multiple addictions work on the same system so these techniques should apply to any of them.

>Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17088411
Mice are supposedly similar enough to humans in how their systems work that we're able to extrapolate effects quite often, and prolactin if I remember rightly is released during ejaculation and frequent ejaculation raises the levels over time. I haven't been able to find any links relating to that searching for it now though.
i switched from porn to jacking it to facebook/instagram photos of known to me girls, little creepy or healthy?
It might be a stupid questions, but makes one fapping tired? And if so, how long does it take to recover from that?
Used to fap once a day every evening.
Started nofap, moved on to faping once every three days. Ended up faping at work in toilet to the newest Tinder match with great breasts.
Doesn't work for me. I need a girl.
>tfw addicted to sniffing poppers and jerking off to videos of oiled up girls riding dildos and nothing else.
Seriously, poppers make jacking off amazing tho.
>>37457567
to add to the exercise study - I've seen multiple times that large amounts of low-to-moderate-intensity exercise is linked with reduction of compulsive behaviours
>anecdotal reports from people in the military who found that they lost the urge to masturbate when they were out in the field
>In the Human Zoo by Desmond Morris (a zoologist and zoo-keeper) he describes how animals in zoos start displaying behaviours which are uncommon in the wild - like tearing their hair out, rocking back and forth and masturbating
>Nietzsche in his autobiography says walking in the open air alters the way your mind works making it healthier, reducing what he sees as self-destructive tendencies.
>In my experience whenever I'm out of the house walking all day my own urges reduce and even stop entirely
I masturbate 2-4 times a day with porn.
I can still easily masturbate with imagination, and even to clothed women (I do this a lot actually).
When people say they are addicted to porn do they mean they NEED porn?
Asking because I have 600 gb of porn.
>>37458205
the effects that nofap is meant to help with applies to anyone who uses it, not only those who fit the typical idea of an addict.
>>37458247
I'm curious how it could help someone like me though.
I masturbate very often but still have energy and can fap to practically anything, so my sex drive is not diminished.
The only thing I can see if giving me more freetime, and I schedule my faps accordingly already.
>>37457774
Both
placebo
I did it for 3 weeks and felt worse desu
>>37450957
Nothing wrong with having a bad dream
>>37458205
cleavage does it for me Anon, you are not alone
from personal experience:
No porn works. When I'm not spending an hour watching porn every time I'm on the computer, it's productive, and I don't get desensitized to real shit. During porn watching binges it starts to creep to crazier, weirder, more hardcore shit, and it's not productive as it wastes a lot of energy, mental and sexual. Why would anyone watch porn without fapping anyways it's kinda fucked up, masochistic and really disconnected.
No fap is stupid. Fapping is natural, but porn is not. No fap is self torture. Fap all you want, just don't do it to porn.
>>37447239
I only did Nofap once to cure my ED from excessive Toomuchfap.
Who else /nofap/ and /nosex/ here?
Ejaculation feels like shit afterwards and I never want kids so its too risky for me to ever have sex. Being alone and not addicted to sexual release is worlds better than spending 7 hours a day masturbating. Best I ever felt in my life, and no sexual frustration at all. I can enjoy just looking at sexy women outside and enjoy the experience- its like my replacement for looking at porn.
>>37458280
I'll try to sum up how it works.
Masturbation and viewing of pornography stimulate production of dopamine which does two key things:
>initiates the behavioural pattern the stimulus is associated with (see food: eat, see woman: approach)
>encourages repetition of the behaviours that released the dopamine (experienced as a compulsive urge)
If you're successful (eating until you're satisfied, mating with the woman) dopamine levels reduce.
If you're unsuccessful and, say you're trying to access a strawberry plant halfway up a cliff then the repetition of the behaviour which stimulated dopamine (visiting the cliff and looking up) makes sure you're motivated to try again.
when it comes to pornography it's like a cliff you'll never climb, no matter how much you return to your computer and look at pictures it will never lead to you mating because the image isn't an actual woman you're able to approach - though it still encourages repetition of behaviour (trying again) in the same way.
under normal circumstances increasing levels of dopamine is uncomfortable and experienced as an increasing urge to make things happen - and this is where it becomes more theoretical but bear with me - the reason you don't experience it as distress is that when this dopamine cycle is stuck too long on "repeat and try again" (ie. when you have too many unresolved situations at one time) then the system which is receiving the dopamine stops receiving or becomes worn down by overuse (the technical term is "dopamine neuro-receptor downregulation").
this is experienced as a relief, because the signals of distress stop coming through - so it becomes an artificial sense of having all your situations under control, and this artificial state of "happiness" is now something you're able to access any time you want by stimulating more dopamine to overload it again.
what it's like to recover from overload state is well-documented here: http://www.reuniting.info/download/pdf/0.BENEFITS.pdf
>>37458395
In my opinion you need to try longer really, 3 months is the recommended time and sometimes there's still more benefits even a year into it.
>>37458760
The thing is I can easily go without fapping for weeks at a time and I don't have a problem talking to women.
I know many guys my age (20) like this and I honestly think a lot of these people with the problems in nofap threads have to have low T, because mentally I feel no different when fapping and not fapping.
>>37458650
mostly right. it works better if you limit how much you fap. like...twice a week is enough.
>>37458650
I can't confirm this, I spent a year without either of them and then I spent a year only masturbating with imagination and only when I was abstinent of both together did I see the really dramatic results.
I think it might depend on which you are individually more addicted to, which would also explain why some see no results even when they take a year off ie. it's because they're still addicted to something else, like video-games.
you have to take out the activity which is tipping you into "debt", and it might be one or it might be both or it might be some other activity.
>>37451675
Wait wait wait, the reverse kegal? I've been doing them with regularity and I thought there was only one kind. For me the muscle is right between my butthole and my ballsack, are you saying this is the reverse kegal? Should I feel it more up front and in my dick?? Thanks
>>37458890
You feel it in the taint.
They are the same muscle, you just reverse the motion you are used to do, being able to push and pull.
This allows you to not only stop from cumming/urine but also allows you to push it out better too.
>>37458863
You may be right as its more of an addiction thing like >>37458760 states and how our bodies and mind tries to cope. Personally, my ED is gone after no porn, while fapping (using imagination) is neutral. Also distressing mental/physical states like depression, anxiety, insecurity, alcoholism can do a number on the sex drive.
No porn typically works imho because it's a bunch of things related to productivity and how our brain is wired to receive stimuli. We didn't evolve with the ability to see hot ass women and traps of all colors get degraded in every position at our fingertips 24/7
>>37458787
what I'd recommend to you is learning about addiction and how to reduce dopamine levels - don't see it as quitting one thing, see it as reducing or quitting everything which raises dopamine levels without bringing them back down.
so that's high-sugar/low-nutrition foods, excessive stimulation, overwork, sleep-deprivation. I think meditation works to lower circulating dopamine as well, although I'm not 100% on that.
It might sound like too much learning etc. but if it brings you the same results it brought me then it's worth it.
>>37453005
If the sun goes down, you finally are able to see the stars in the night sky.
I pretty much don't care about the test levels. I don't want to be a slave to my instincts, when all they do is dragging me down.
fuck a hooker. it will rebalance your hormones.
>>37459065
In my view of it we didn't evolve to masturbate either - if masturbation was really able to satisfy us I think it would interfere with motivation to seek a mate.
also looking at the way urges to masturbate disappear when I'm outside all day, it makes it look less like a healthy maintenance thing and more like an agitated stress-driven activity.
the healthier I am, the less I masturbate and the year I spent without it was the healthiest I've ever been - that to me is a strong sign it isn't a healthy activity.
>>37447571
This vid was mentioned on Sleepycast recently, yeah? You have the link, Stamper?

how do you know/care what your granny looked like 60 years ago? you must want to fuck your granny.

>I cannot stress how much it improves your reward system
>do no fap
>get a hardon literally at every girl i see ion the street
what am i supposed to do with these hot shorts, tits hanging out everywhere m9
>>37447551
This is true. It tends to be, the longer I do nofap, the more I want to put something up my ass.
DAY 13 WOO YEAH FUCK YEAH GONNA MAKE IT
WOOOOOOO
YEAH
>>37447569
But its the best. Fapping once every 7-10 days is like coke. The orgasms I had when doing it were so intense that I still remember exactly which videos I watched.
>>37457940
makes sense. an idle mind is the devil's workshop as they say

It doesn't work that way. Even then it's pointless. Doctors will do nothing even if you have the test of an 80 year old man
