Is nofap a meme? I feel extra energy, but I still feel super autistic and shy around the grills. Have any of you guys "rebooted" (90 days nofap).
after how many days did you start noticing positive effects?

Yes nofap isn't magic. It's not going to give you courage to talk to girls or make you a better human. All nofap will do is make you cum faster during sex.

About 3 weeks in, I was using hookers, so I didn't count the first ttwo so it is more like 1 week in.

No fap is terrible.
I went a while without fapping so I could have a great fap. After 8 days I felt extremely horny. Edged and felt amazing for about 4 days. Then all of sudden my libido left me and for the next 4 days I felt like I had been castrated and I didn't want to exist anymore.
I'm finally starting to recover. Never doing that again.

It's not a magic wand, but it does help.
The longest I lasted was about three weeks when I went to South America as part of a school project with other kids. It was 4 guys including myself and like 20-something girls.
We all stayed on dirt farms with host families who mostly all lived in wood & tin shacks with nothing but plastic sheet separating the "rooms", and the toilet was a cockroach & tarantula-filled outhouse. When we stayed in hotels in cities we all had shared rooms with all us 4 dudes together. So unless we wanted to get a circle jerk going, there was no fappage.
Also, this was the type of thing that was being played non-stop on TV

I was still so awkward that I wasn't able to dance at all the fucking fiestas that happened 7 times a day, but otherwise I had confidence in every other aspect of my life. I also went from waking up around 10 or 11 to waking up to 5 or 6.
By the end of the 3rd week, I was thinking about seducing one of the middle-aged teachers who was there with us, every single girl that was there was also suddenly attractive. Likewise, nearly every single girl there was eye-balling me and the other guys.
These days I routinely go two weeks without fapping and when I do fap it's without porn.
It can be a contributing factor to a healthier life. You could use that extra energy productively, for your studies, or exercise, or whatever.
It takes experience to feel more confident around girls. NoFap won't change that on its own.
Im thinking of trying to give up smoking and fapping at the same time, i smoke 20 cigarettes a day and probably fap just as much, how much extra energy should i be expecting? will i finally be able to run a marathon?
So if i stop fapping during medschool I'll have more energy for the turns in the hospital? I live in an state where if I don't sleep I feel dead but i fap about 3 times a day.
>Do no fap
>feel no different ( other than horny)
Oh well

>falling for the nofap meme
you guys just don't learn, do you?

nofap has no benefits past day 3, and the only benefit of that is a stronger orgasm the day you DO decide to fap, which only proves conscious nofap is a ridiculous practice
all you're doing is making your prostate hate you
>>29731794
> Edged for about 4 days
That must'vr been the problem you dumb fuck. In my case fapping always feels better the longer I've gone without ejaculating. But I don't edge.
>>29731710
this has been established
nofap is like alcoholics anonymous, its for losers who have absolutely no fucking self-control, who basically treat masturbation like it was meth
Nofap could have some positive results but it won't be life changing. It may give you more motivation to pursue sex with real life women. That is pretty much it. This does not cure depression or make life wonderful or any of that shit.
i've tried it more times than i can count, a few times 40+ days. the only difference i ever notice is its harder to fall asleep at night
I'm on day 5 at the moment and I've already noticed an increase in energy. I feel different but I am quite stressed from not being able to fap. Will keep you updated ...
I'm no fapping, but only because I've been so rock bottom depressed lately I don't even feel like touching my dick anymore.

There's some studies in rats that show a post ejaculatory hang over that stops the rats from repeatedly mating. It's been speculated that something similar exists in humans which would mean that if you fap 3 times a day you'll constantly be tired from over-stimulating your brains reward pathways. Might also lead to low motivation and other things which would be very bad for med school ....
I tried it last monday.
I only made it 6 days, gave in yesterday.
When I finally did do it, my semen felt like it was molten lead when I came, it wasn't pleasurable at all honestly. The subsequent faps were normal.
I never really felt like I had more energy either, though maybe I had more drive since I got a lot done over the week in terms of self improvement or whatever.

you should be like doggo
he is happy and not depressed because it is a good life and he is a happy pupper
>>29731794
>my libido left me and I felt as though I had been castrated
this is called "flatlining", it goes away after 1-3 weeks. the part of your brain responsible for handling sexual thought and drive is resetting due to sudden deprivation of stimulation (sort of like nicotine withdrawals)
it's bullshit, i feel just as miserable not fapping for a week as I do fapping a week straight
>>29731710
I can't do it. If I havent masturbated within no longer than 48 hours I start to get cranky.
>>29733963
Well I'm feeling a little better now. I was only trying to prolong the pleasure I was getting from edging. Had I known this would happen I would've just let myself cum when I was feeling really good.
Don't see why anyone would willingly do this to themselves.
Did around 60 days nofap. Only real benefit I had was more energy, none of the "girls notice you more" bullshit.
Felt better fapping. Would recommend to just try it and see how you feel
It's placebo. Not fapping doesn't affect your social abilities or confidence or anything inherently. It can do so psychologically, since you're (arguably) wasting less time. But it's all still a mind game.
There's literally nothing wrong with fapping. Just don't do it more than once a day.

What do you mean extra energy? It takes literally 5 minutes to do before I fall asleep. Isn't that negligible?
>>29732182
> it is harder to fall asleep at night
Holy shit this

are you still a virgin currently how old are you inb4 17

Why is there a peak in testosterone at day 7 of not fapping? I doubt evolution would have put it there for no reason.
>>29732182
This is so fucking true, but I feel improvements in sports
