Has anyone dealt with a porn hangover?
I jacked off pretty heavily last night, and today I feel like absolute shit - agitated, run-down and emotionally fucking dead. It's not even guilt, it's like a neurochemical thing. I'm normally depressed but porn (especially edging) makes it worse, and I'm positive it's not a placebo-effect, because I maintain a pretty neutral mood with day streaks where I go w/o porn. So even though /r/nofap represents the worst of reddit's tendencies, I feel like porn really does exacerbate the shit out of mood disorders. I never hear about this issue with normies, and while irl sex is different, everyone fucking looks at porn all the time. Am I the only one this happens to?
I've experienced very similar OP
I think masturbating off too much puts a pretty significant strain on your body and mind.

Yup. The nofap "le superpowers" are obviously bullshit, but when I fap a shitload all at once I get all the symptoms you describe and a sore prostate.
How many times did you cum op?
>>28592083
Its not the porn, but the masturbating that produces these neurochemical effects. I made a detailed post about this phenomenon here >>28591161
This is why you don't masturbate for several hours straight.
I've noticed that if I jack off too much over a day I'll have sore balls for a few days, and I'm really sluggish that day and sometimes the next.Anybody know which of Dakota Skye's videos that picture is from? I'm not going to jerk off again tonight but it'd be nice to have something lined up for tomorrow.

the 'no fap superpowers' are real, but you life will only change as much as you are willing to improve yourself wile still refraining from masturbation. In effect rather than giving you something, quitting fapping stop all they ways you life was hampered by the subtle effects of constant semen depletion, as well as masturbation/porn viewing in general being your focal point in life when you are addicted to it.

twice, but one was an edging session for like 45 min, which isn't as bad as some other people but still.
>>28592083
kinda but I replaced it to hobbies I skipped out in awhile and in turn I also have been downloading lots of shit that I love off of /t/ but haven't viewed yet, so when I finally break I will have tons of new material to look at. that is my motivation to not jerk off at the moment

Fuck off noporn shill. Sell your books somewhere else.
>>28592083
I don't know if that's what you mean, but after watching pretty much any porn I mentally feel like shit. I spend most of my time not minding being alone, but watching porn instantly makes me feel miserable and undesirable.
This meme is getting out of hand. First nofap gives powers, now porn gives hangovers. It's fucking pathetic. If anything people need to fap more. I know masturbation frequency is a good barometer of my life satisfaction, more fapping means happy. If I'm not fapping every one or two days I'm probably depressed and shit. Porn addiction is not a thing. Nofaps alway move the goalposts and then say porn is the problem if you corner them.

Link? Whom do you mean?
>>28593866
The huckster who started this "nofap" shit.
Yeah sometimes wen I fap my bald hurt but continue and cum . I cum once every night since I found out about it when I was 10 years old! 13-18 I was gaping 3 times a day!!!

Links? Names?

It's not a meme, it's propaganda to sell books
I find fapping for less than 10 minutes is optimal. If I go over that I always feel fatugued and almost flu like. I think it has something to do with the fact that I find it impossible not to hold my breath while fapping.
>>28592083
Dunno man, porn makes me feel better and more energetic, never had hangovers like that even after 5 faps a day. I think you have some psychological problems or somethink.
I always fap right before bed; it helps me sleep better and longer. Every once in a while I'll see something during the day that makes me do it, but then I feel drained afterwards.
>>28595060
Most people feel drained during the day. It's called being human. This is normal and an expected part of our circadian rhythm.
>>28595060
If I fap before bed I feel like I have too much blood swirling around and I can't fall asleep at all
>>28592083
Oh god tell me about it. It's worse when you do it in a relationship.

>>28592083
Yeah fapping makes me depressed and oddly ashamed of myself, I try to tell myself before I fap that it's not a big deal. But once I bust that nut, I feel tired but can't sleep well. When I don't fap I almost have no problem talking to people after refraining for a few days, but if i do fap I feel retarded, and I get a cloudy mind. In the sense that, I'm not nearly as articulate. I have trouble maintaining conversations because my mind randomly gets blocked. If you think porn isn't destructive, you're a fool. It affects your relationships and your actions in life because you're not at your potential. I noticed there's a ton of porn on this board and i pretty much believe porn is the root of a lot of your problems.
>>28592083
Can relate to this. I edged last night for several hours and as a result, went to sleep without eating anything for basically the whole day. Woke up feeling like shit and I've just been laying in bed all day. Was going to clean up my room and get organized today, but fuck it.

>acts like a stupid bitch
>"its all my peepee's fault, I touched it earlier"
I wonder how nofap even works in a relationship. What kind of woman will stick around with some cuck who refuses to fuck her because muh superpowers.
>>28595528
Let me get this straight. You go all day without eating or cumming, but you think you were tired because you didn't cum and only edged? You realize the body runs on glucose right? Glucose is often found in food, or is at least easily converted to the stuff from food.
I masturbate all the time, but not to porn. Any time I'd watch porn while masturbating, my orgasms would be weak and much less satisfying, so I just stopped. Now I have really intense and fulfilling orgasms that leave me feeling peppy and happy. Keeping my focus on my own body and movements and pleasure really allows for sessions to be rewarding and it gets those long lasting endorphins flowing.
>>28595528
wait...you didn't eat your cum?
what did you do with it?
>>28592083
I just stop caring and thus stop fapping until my dry spell decides it's done.
