I respect the hell out of the movement and the guys that try it out. But, as with any other form of male self improvement, women and guys that think they are alpha on the Internet endlessly criticize it in the most toxic ways possible. I am convinced that western society hates men that try to actually be "real men" and improve their lives.

>Get a new grip on life
Holy fucking keks. That's rich.
The movement is shit, but the concept is somewhat decent.
Doing it now myself.
Reminder that NoFap is pseudoscientific nonsense.

>muh pseudoscience
fuck off degenerate.
Lost a few days ago to this angela white scene. I just had to watch that scene. I didn't feel bad since I completed a nofap challenge before anyways.

Your nofap magic won't get you pussy, queerbait.

Too long did not read.

Did you even read the picture you posted? The person who made this shit is a psychology professor. It's a known chemical fact that after you orgasm you're going to feel fucking tired and the body will be put to work trying to generate more sperm cells.
Similarly the professor even admits to the validity of neuroplasticity being effective.
>The placebo effect is very real
Well no shit, belief has existed throughout history and humans are inclined towards it. The only people who constantly go 'muh placeburr' are fat faggots who have no will to change their own shitty lives.
>Conclusion: NoFap is about sex-negativity
>sex-negativity
Tumblr-tier term. Fucking hell the person ends it with a fast food analogy supporting the dangers of over-using porn. This entire thing was nothing but an appeal to the majority. They did have some good points though so I won't dismiss it entirely, but it doesn't debunk NoFap.
Nice try, though.
i'm on nofap but only because i have a date some time this week and i need to make sure i'm CONFIDENCE MAN when it comes
feels bad desu senpai, i'd do anything to jerk off

Neuroplasticity's legitimacy has nothing to do with it. What's being contested is NoFap's effect on neuroplasticity. And you are aware of what placebo means right? It means that this treatment, or whatever you want to call it has no real effect on anything.

>Placebo Effect
>The more someone invests time, resources and energy in change (i.e., treatment), the more that person wants to believe that real change has happened.
What do you think happens to people who, upon suddenly becoming born-against Christian or joins another faith, find a vast improvement in their lives? That they're much more productive, amicable people? That fits into a definition of real change.
This also applies to people who have gambling addictions. Similar to porn in that there's 'no solid evidence' since the addiction is not coming from a drug, and yet they're ruled by their impulses and ruining their lives by giving into a behavior they know is personally destructive.

I don't think you understand. The treatment itself isn't effective. What's effective is the my expectation of the treatment.
If I were to eat carrots everyday because I think it will cure my bronchitis, and my bronchitis goes away, that doesn't mean that carrots cure bronchitis.
holy shit guys
just finished doing no fap for 18 years and maaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn
my cock is fucking ready to fucking fuck
My testoterone increased
I got a 10/10 gf
I got a high paying job that I hardly have to work for
random women suck me off in the streets
if you neets would stop fapping for like 7 days your every fantasy would cum true!
lmao

>If I were to eat carrots everyday because I think it will cure my bronchitis, and my bronchitis goes away, that doesn't mean that carrots cure bronchitis.
False equivalency. You're talking about introducing a treatment based on consumption (IE eating carrots to expect that your bronchitis gets cured) versus avoiding masturbation with the expectation that your energy levels improve. It's not a similar comparison at all.
If you're going to avoid orgasming, you're going to subject yourself less to oxytocin and other stress hormones, which will effect your mood to varying degrees (not saying it will be to the same degree with everyone but my suspicion is that those doing NoFap are more prone to those hormone's effects).

No and i never will again. It's bullshit and i'm not falling for this when i did a 3 month no fap years ago and only made me angry depressed did nothing for women didn't change my life for the better.
You want to waste you're time with un proven horse shit go right ahead but heads will roll if my porn is taken from you cunts from you're shit cause..

Except they do.
>>24372859
It doesn't matter if it does or not. The point is, if I do something because I expect it to effect me on some other level, that thing is some how effected, that doesn't mean the actions I took are actually effective on that thing.

pseudoscience, but the placebo is strong enough to actually make a difference in your life, more power to you
