Is there any real benefit to nofap/no porn?
I've started doing it, but now the temptation is starting to really kick in. So I asked myself exactly why i'm doing it, and I have no real answer beyond willpower. I checked out the reddit board, but they seem unreasonably creepy and fanatic, it seems as if they center their entire lives around not masturbating or consuming porn.
Anyone who's gone for a long stretch, what are the real pros and cons?
After not doing it for a few weeks it feels fucking amazing

i have alot more time and energy after doing noporn. less frequent faps because of this
For me it feels more pleasurable and I always cum like 50% more than I usually do. It also feels better subsequently.

I guess not. Either way I suppose it can't hurt to continue on resisting. Worst case scenario, I go a month or two without jerking off or watching porn. Nothing to lose, only to gain. I think the only reason I posted this was in hopes someone would convince me it's okay to give in to temptation, but that's just weak. Thanks tho
The only differences are mental. You "get more confidence" because you're expecting to. Self fulfilling prophecy and all that.
And >>24803138 it feels "fucking amazing" because it gives your calloused dick time to heal, making the skin softer. Imagine rubbing a patch of skin on your arm for 30 minutes a day every single dayor moreand then stopping for a couple weeks. When you start up again, you gave the skin time to remoisturize, heal, etc.
I am a 22 male. Used to consume porn regularly. Masturbated 1-3 times a day.
I went a month without looking at porn or masturbating recently.
Back to masturbating and porn now. I edge far less, masturbate quickly to completion usually and try to abstain from porn. I masturbate when I wake up and I have an erection. Sometimes I use porn, and try to edge, but the orgasm just isn't as good. I think you can definitely build up strong orgasms around porn consumption.

Well the obvious benefit is to manage you addiction to masturbation and/or pornography. Therefore its the people like myself who have somewhat obsessive or debilitating problems with these sexual addictions that would see the greatest benefit, whereas if you just fap once a day for 20 minutes you might not notice anything if you stop.
Then again, bodies are different, and some of you have concurred with my own observation that frequent ejaculation puts us at a lower level of consciousness, and going for long periods without expelling semen allows us to cultivate energy, which we could somehow put to work towards positive changes in our life rather than just thinking about sex more and ultimately going back to complete masturbation. This is why I'm not really doing no-fap, but just no-cum, and no porn videos.

Thanks for the insight senpai. I've masturbated (exclusively to porn) since I was 14 or 15. In that time, I don't think i've ever gone more than 14 days without jerking off. I think my record was 9 or 10 days, ever.
I'm at day 5 or 6 right now, already notice some mild differences. Namely I find myself checking women out all day and getting horny frequently. I don't know if this is actually a benefit though.
I'm gonna try to do at least 31 days, hopefully more. I think this is gonna be the time I make it. I noticed I was starting to watch more depraved porn to get off, so I knew it was time to cut that shit out.

it resensitizes your dopamine receptors and heals your reward-circuitry thingy (i'm not a neuro scientist). Every time I get into a 30+ day streak I have to stop because I just feel miserable and cry too often, so it also makes you sensitive to your emotions.

How is this a good thing?
