So I'm going to start /nofap/ where I introduce the rule if I get the urge really bad, I will substitute jerking it for playing a game. Do you guys think this is a good approach, how have you guys attempted /nofap/ and was it successful?
bonus question
Do you guys have any decent sources for how this effects us?
Personally I'm doing it because I spend way too much time jerking it during the day or related. Wish me luck fellow oreganos

I feel so much better after I jack off, not even just an half hour after but the remainder of the day. It might make you feel slightly more confident but I'd rather be happy. Its worth a try atleast.
Stay off of 4chan, or at least off of /b/ and the porn boards, so that you're not bombarded with porn all the time
Should be easy enough other than that
>Do you guys have any decent sources for how this effects us?
All of the crazy benefits people talk about on here are just from nofap being a form of placebo, it's as effective as you convince yourself it is, other than the obvious benefits of maybe increased productivity (although maybe not if you're just playing games instead of fapping) and a massive cumshot when you decide to fap again

>Posting on /b/ on first place
I tried nofap for basically two or three years with two lapses, each once and several months apart.
It does not help. It is a meme. You will be more confident because of it , you will not be more attractive to women, you will not have more energy. This is pure placebo. Maybe you'll get results if you fap five plus times a day, once or twice shouldn't do anything. Don't fall for this stupid meme.
I've been talking to a girl for about two weeks and my desire to fap has been completely gone. I haven't fapped since i met her and I don't notice any benefits from it its all placebo. Dont fall for the meme

It's not fucking fair.
People say your voice gets deeper, but idk
Get on an SSRI. They'll kill your libido. I promise
On day 5
Of course it is to early for "changes" but I miss edging and watchin porn
Nothing works to stop it except sheer willpower. It should also be done in the larger context of breaking your need for sexual release altogether, if you do it to get laid/get a gf you will get very frustrated and fail.
Quitting fapping long term allows your strengths and weaknesses to come to the surface, revealing your true nature, which was hidden in the brain fog you are in while fapping and never now about until it dissipates. But its only the first and necessary step to making other life changes- not to discount it, but you have to build off of this lifestyle improvement to do anything else.
