Is NoFap legit? Like would it actually improve my social skills and be a better person overall?
It would help your sex life/relationship with girls, but it won't turn a sperg into a normie
no it doesnt help anything, you'll just end up beating off someplace that you shouldn't
>>71670885
If you spend your time mindlessly browsing 4chan in place of fapping, you're a fucking dumbass and will fail.
NoFap's point is to be busy with productive shit. Get off of the internet if you want to succeed with this 'challenge.'
>thinks not masturbating will help his social skills
too late for you anon
>>71670885
I did it for 8 days and then stopped. Didn't really see much of a difference.
Only thing is that when I came it was almost a liters worth.
>>71670885
Not at all.
Being a FAP addicted is bad, but not fapping forever is even worse and can fice you cancer.
You can cum in a woman if you find one though
>>71670885
OK BUT WHERE IS THE POLITICS?
It's a placebo and people on here keep peddling it.
>>71672624
>in a woman
>not on
degenerate
>>71670885
Scientific evidence seems to point towards regular ejaculation lowering prostate cancer rates. NoFap is probably a bad idea, but then again so is fapping too much. I seem to suffer no ill physical effects or penis desensitization from one fap per day, but any more than that seems to tire me out and lead to penis desensitization. I think one ejaculation per day is probably OK.
>>71672361
This, I only come here once a day just to see what's happening in the world really. I started nofap and replaced all my bad habits(vidya/forums/anime)with good ones. Maybe nofap serves as a kind of reminder to keep doing good.
>>71670885
No matter how often you fap, you are still stuck being you.
>>71672730
I should add that I think the best time of day for a fap, by far, is right before bed. It seems to help one fall asleep rather well. South Park once made an entire episode about how a simple HJ before bed knocks a man right the fuck out.
NoFap is stupid. NoPorn is what you should actually do; if you get to the point where imagining girls is all it takes for you, you've "repaired" your brain. Nothing wrong with masturbating a couple times a week. It's as basic a biological necessity as taking a shit or eating.
There can be benefits of not wanking for periods of time, an example being increased pleasure and sensation when masturbating but the actual claims of NoFap is unscientific and it is essentially a new age cult.
>>71670885
The effects are subtle and they build up over time.
Girls will notice you more and start approaching you.
To see any effects I would say you need ~ 2 month of total no fap. No edging, no stimulation whatsoever.
>>71670885
It will have no effect whatsoever except you might feel more cranky and irritable.
No such thing as being addicted to fapping. It doesn't hurt your brain. That's all bullshit.
Here is the deep truth... The body represents the fact that we are physical objects, bound by determinism and subject to decay and death. We try to escape this fact by identifying with a symbolic self, a "mind" somehow distinct from the body. But sexuality pressures us back into identification with the body. And so sex makes us feel guilty, because sex represents the body and the body represents decay and death. We think that by controlling our sexual impulses we are somehow overcoming our body, and thereby overcoming our determinism and our mortality. But it is the illusion of control and will not save you.
>>71672637
/pol/ = r9k betas talking about politics
>>71672800
Sounds like you're doing it right, then.
I'd read posts on NoFap forums and shit that were like 'because I'm doing NoFap I'm not having sex as much with my gf because I'm dedicated to the challenge!!!'
Shit your sex life doesn't have to suffer because you want to hold it in.
Internet addiction is far more destructive imo.
I fap 3+ times every single day, and now I can't stay hard when having actual sex.
Do I go get viagara or just stop masturbating? I'm 22.
>>71673291
Just drop to once a day or less and you'll be fine.
>>71670885
don't quit masturbating, just quit looking at porn
masturbate only when you are horny enough for it without any porn
>>71673291
As I've stated >>71672730 once per day doesn't seem to desensitize me, but twice does. Don't go beyond once per day.
>>71670885
Yes
After like a month of bot fapping buy a prostate massager and you'll have the best orgasm, you won't be able to move.
>>71672361
this
>>71673537
>not just finding a femdomme to peg you until you cum all over the place
This is way more fun.
>>71673451
There's nothing wrong with porn in moderation.
Stop craving asceticism.
>>71670885
>Like would it actually improve my social skills and be a better person overall?
No, you going out and socializing would obviously fix that, idiot.
>>71671039
This.
still worth doing. But it won't give you superpowers unless fapping is the ONLY thing holding you back.
Definitely a good thing to fix ED and reduce social anxiety though.
>>71673537
you don't need to be a fag, just go 2 weeks and you can have an orgasm without using your hands or shoving anything in your ass
>>71673117
determinism is exclusively for plebs.
i get what you are saying about sexual impulse being an artifact of "being the body", but this is just for people who haven't developed yet. everyone who is on the level gets that you are your complete physical organism, which is seamless against the environment, as an organ in the great and ancient human machine.
but determinism is garbage-tier. pls.
>>71673801
>not fapping will reduce social anxiety
please stop spreading bullshit
>>71673870
>any and all forms of prostate stimulation are "gay"
Oh, you poor, poor soul. I pity you. You will never experience what is, by far, the most intense form of sexual pleasure available to a man.
>>71673695
This.
There is no shortcut to solving any kind of problem you have. You seriously just gotta face it head on.
>>71673973
It will though, a little bit.
It won't fix actual autism and lack of social skills, only practice can do that. but you'll feel more energetic.
>>71673953
your arguments
>this is pleb
>garbage
The world is governed by cause and effect. Self evident truth, just accept it and move on.
>>71673973
>>being conditioned to need things in your butt to have an orgasm

lmao fag
>>71673987
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!!!!!!!
>>71674161
nice misquote :^)
>>71672637
it's POLITICALLY INCORRECT not "politics" you fucking autist retard
Only if you are able to have regular sex.
Otherwise it's just self-flagellation.
>>71670885
no you will just get really horny and end up hitting on some really ugly chicks and possibly fucking them or worse
>>71673870
I'm not a fag. I asked my ex if she could fuck me with a strap on.
I don't like dicks at all
>>71670885
Just fap my friend. The end is near anyway.
>>71672251
This, after a month of not fapping I started beating off in my car and some old women saw me.
>>71670885
no, 2d woman are supperior ,dont fall for this scam
>>71674485
Just saying, if you reach the point where you can't get off without something in your butt you've been white genocided because you won't be able to concieve
>>71674220
>>71674239
Your loss. There is literally nothing gay, by definition, about self prostate stimulation or allowing a woman to stimulate your prostate. A prostate orgasm is more intense than a penile orgasm by a factor of at least tenfold. Being pegged by a cute girl literally feels much better than vaginal intercourse as long as adequate lube is used and once you learn the simple trick of trying to "push it out," as if you were trying to force poop out, to accept it in smoothly.
Your ignorance and closed-mindedness will simply prevent you from ever experiencing the most intense form of orgasm biologically possible for you. Sucks to be you.
>>71670885
I doubt it actually changes things like social anxiety and whatnot( maybe plecebo?) and it definatley won't make you taller and your acne go away.
It is good if you spend all day looking at porn and if you're addicted to it. It will also help you get rid of those gross nasty porn induced fetishes.
>>71674634
My wide is called Emma we have 3 white kids.
I can get off to masturbating and having sex with my wife. Not that she's usually up for it Hahahaha.
I was just recommending the greatest orgasm. But whatever. You can go without it if you want.
>>71670885
Its a load of tosh. I only fap about once a week and I'm still a cynical loner.
>>71674634
>if you reach the point where you can't get off without something in your butt
I'm not sure this is even possible. It's not like prostate stimulation leads to penis desensitization.
>>71674686
you realize that 100 years ago before Jews invented psychoanalysis, anything other than P in V sex was considered sodomy.
>>71674846
Wife
>>71670885
>would it actually improve my social skills
No
>be a better person overall?
Fapping doesn't make you a worse person, just a weaker one.
>>71674862
Start smoking dope before you talk to the normies. It helps.
>>71674612
das hawt
>>71674817
>fetishes
>just going away by themselves
I'm not sure things work this way.

People thought the Earth was round once too. "Gay" = sexual activity with a member of your own gender.

I think I probably have this gene, and cannabis use makes socialization much harder for me. I get super fucking quiet because I can't think fast enough to keep up with conversations.
I went 7 days and my skin improved, then I had a 2 hour edging session and basically had to cum because I had terrible blueballs, I immediately regretted it
>>71674817
It'll actually make your acne worse but that means you're gaining testosterone.
And it takes dietary changes (or in extreme cases, accutane) to fix it.
>>71670885
Iv'e been off the fapping by and large for quite a few months. Slip up every 3 to 4 weeks but whatever.
I feel better. Then again in the same timeframe iv'e quit smoking and energy drinks. Also not drinking alcohol during the week and not getting tanked on the weekends.
Its funny, i'm now saving money and i feel free. You should try it if you haven't already.
I don't know how it would go if i didn't have a girlfriend.
>>71674974
DUDE
>>71670885
>thinks jizzing away your semen regularly, which takes a lot of important shit for your body to produce and wasting the energy your body stores for sex doesnt have any effect on your mental well being
>>71670885
Only works for up to four days, and you just get hornier.
>>71675035
It really wasn't, they were fat with short hair. I was alreaday past the point of no return though so I couldn't really stop from cumming.
>>71674974
I'm not autistic or spaghetti-spilling. I just find it taxing to talk to people who I have nothing in common with. Which is most people.
>>71675037
Regular fetishes stick with you, porn induced ones don't. When you watch too much porn you'll start to need more and more hardcore stuff to get off. Those kind of fetishes you can get rid of.
>>71670885
It can benefit your sexual performance through making it easier to get and maintain an erection.
Porn and masturbation are one of the many ways today to provide the brain with supernormal stimulus that will mess up with your reward system. People who frequently watch porn will notice that they constantly keep looking for something more and more novel because the old stuff simply doesn't do it for them any more.

>>71674686
ok but don't cry fag
>>71675296
I'm still not sure it works that way. I've had a foot fetish since I was like 4 and facesitting is a porn-acquired fetish for me. I'm pretty goddamn sure I could go years without watching porn and I'll still find facesitting hot as fuck.
>>71670885
yes, you should print the picture and hang it near your desk
>>71674846
>>71674881
Nice freudian slip. You married a cow, mate. Are those kids even yours?
I no fap to hot glue things
>>71672730
it also points to the fact that fapping at least every once every 3 days makes it harder for your body to use testosterone.
>>71673117
Completely wrong but it's a cool theory
>>71672690
>its placebo
which is bad why?
placebo effect is proven effective...
I have a health condition where I can't fap. I don't really have the urge to fap that much since I know I can't, but I can't really say it's improved my life at all.
>>71675605
Source? Also, I'm not sure that's entirely a bad thing. Testosterone makes dudes do stupid fucking shit sometimes.
>>71675296
100% true. I find traps disgusting after a 2 week nofap, and this is holding true even after I relapsed
>>71675140
Funny, its the opposite for me. I tend to stay away from politics and eventually accidentally showing my power level.
It also allows me to get over some of my natural self filtering, so i let my wit run wild.
It also takes my wit from personal daggers to general ha' ha's.
Weed just makes me less of a prick. I also lift when i'm ripped so it translates to fighting fairly well. Lowered brain-muscle barrier and all that jazz.
Only had to do that a couple of times in my life though.
Its not for everyone, but it works to help me stay hidden in plain sight.
>>71670885
>>71675768
I think small amounts of alcohol will probably make socialization easier for just about everyone, whereas cannabis seems to affect lots of different people in lots of different ways.
>>71675286
Same, hence the dope smoking to talk to them. It makes even mundane stupid bullshit tolerable.
>>71673987
Your fedora is showing faggot
>>71670885
Claims that It will improve your physical health are completely unsubstantiated (There's a great pasta about all the powers that NoFap gives, like superstrength and the ability to detect minor vibrations in the Earths crust)
But it will
a) Help your mental wellbeing
b) Help your dick
NoFap isn't really necessary, but stop doing it so much... maybe stop for 2 weeks then see how you feel, I fap maybe 3 times a week
NoPorn is far more important
>>71674686
Gay
>>71673117
I tried to not fap for a week and ended up being far more irritable and getting angrier than a menstruating woman.
I used to be a rugby player, can't do it now because I'm thin with money, maybe that has an influence; being on the field meant that I had a place to discharge my anger on others.
>>71675496
Man i'm talking about shit like shemale, hardcore abuse, cuck, rape, etc.
Facesitting was probably a fetish you would've had anyway but you simply found out about it due to porn. Porn induced fetishes are things you would have found disgusting , but since you can't get off to vanilla stuff anymore your body starts to need that fucked up shit.
>>71670885
I think toning fapping down to once every week or so is healthy. Anymore than that and you are just giving yourself blue balls. People who let all that shit build up and thinking its healthy is retarded and bound to end up in the newspaper eventually.
>>71670885
I got up to a year of no fap (not following tards I just decided for myself a few years back when i was doing it excesively).
I just got way more stressed and got a lot of "wet dreams". Overall it was SHIT. senpai
>>71675539
Even if they weren't mine. I'd at least be happy I'm not a kissless virgin like you
>>71672251
This is surprisingly true and funny. Last summer I tried NoFap and eventually lost control and beat off in the local library. True story. Didn't get caught and now beating off in public is a fetish of mine. I call it the peewee hermaning
>>71676267
That's why pornography and masturbation can be as bad as practicing faggotry. All our perverse lust filled abominable practices gets even nastier and more perverse due to the unnatural sexual appetite and the lust involved in it. Faggotry however is just a tad bit nastier and unclean.
It's kind of retarded dude. After like a week of not fapping cause I didn't have the time I had a crazy wet dream. Really stained my boxers with super thick and smelly cum.
>>71676267
>there are actually people boring enough to get off to vanilla stuff
>>71675711
testosterone is used in many essential functions including healing. Estrogen is actually the hormone that you should be most worried about, health wise and brain wise, its the one that makes guys get over emotional and "makes dudes do stupid fucking shit sometimes."
I cant find the source right now for the article. It was actually posted by an anti nofap anon here on /pol/ who used the study to point out that reducing masturbation has no long term affect on testosterone levels in the blood. But I was curious enough to actually read the study and it was true that the study said nofap had no significant changes to testosterone in blood levels. That seemed to be the main focus of the study and was in the headlines of the article. However it also talked about other things that it did affect regarding testosterone. To make the headline of the article centered around testosterone levels in the blood when the study also had all the other stuff i read in it seemed downright sinister, it was disingenuous at best.
If you masturbate every day of every week and you are chronically ill then i would try some nofap. at least try and get it down to once a week.
After fapping every day for a few years, I went five days in a row without fapping last week.
It was terrible, all I literally just wanted to fuck everything. I couldn't focus, didn't have energy, had to force myself to do even the smallest things.
Honestly I think fapping twice a day keeps you mind clear and helps you focus on your own self. I'm 26 and a virgin and have been able to achieve a lot thanks to fapping. But without fapping I'd probably be in a trailer somewhere fucking a 300 pound coalburner while her nigglet spawn listen to the new Jay Z album in the next room over.
If you can't control your animal instincts you'll never amount to anything. Sexual energy is what built empires and conquered kingdoms, it is the driving force of man. Know thyself.
>>71676847
Bruh, I miss the times I just jacked off in the shower.
>>71676665
You do need to masturbate tho( or get laid), at least once in a while, otherwise you'll get wet dreams, and trust me those fucking suck.
>>71676966
I think you have a problem if you consider fapping twice a day normal. How do you even find the time or privacy for that?
>>71676991
>vanilla sex after you've had a kinky partner
>>71670885
It's legit to a certain extent. If you cut back from jacking off everyday/multiple times a day to once every few days/week you will have more energy and a stronger dick.
>>71670885
saving it for jesus
>>71677173
You know I didn't jerk off for like two months and I told the girl in my dreams that I was waiting for marriage, then I had a lucid dream about a month later after i started jerking it like nonstop for two weeks. Lucid Dreaming is awesome.
HEY EVERYBODY, HAD A LUCID DREAM SOMETIME AGO:
I'm not going to give the answers here, but when Lucid dreaming what are you never to do?
And, what happened when you told folks in your lucid dream that this was all a dream. Don't say what happened just show images or links or anything that describes or ascribes to what happens without letting the others in on it.
