Nofap: Why it works

[mrgoodstuff]

Haha superpowers ! - that's what's being thrown around the nofap boards, I was curious lmao

Let's all agree that doing anything in the extreme, either porn watching or fapping or some other thing is just bad all around and is likely to fvcked you up.

Interesting discussion.

I did learn something from this.

One super power from not fapping to porn is your loads will be bigger and more explosive when you nutt.

Linking a known pro nofap/no-porn website is hardly cause for serious reading to draw conclusions.

Go read the original finding where it's published - JAMA.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/1874574

You forgot to add that from the findings, it could also be that men with less gray matter in the striatum require more stimulation than others and find watching porn more rewarding.

But the study is not conclusive and requires more data.

My bad, I mentioned the correlation I thought in a previous post and thought it was implied. I guess I replied to someone else, but no I don't draw conclusions solely on science myself. Too many variables. Honestly, I'm more prone to considering anecdotal evidence more so and personal experience and experimenting and drawing my conclusions from that. I personally, don't think porn is the devil and take a "balance" stance myself. I will say that I think it can be dangerous, as drugs and alcohol are. I think it can also be great, as mentioned above, for building stamina. I have personal experience with this as well. There are positives and drawbacks to everything in life and every situation. My 2¢ anyways.

True.

Instead of looking at the negatives let's instead turn towards the positive aspects thats written from both sides.

There's always something to learn and even earn us a better perspective of the issue at hand.

Speaking for myself, I've learned that pornography is causing way too much problems for many men, the addiction seems to effect their way of life and it kinds of seeps into their subconscious, perhaps like a drug. Or perhaps it's to do with their brain structure that requires porn to feel any reward.

I didn't know this before, I thought people will outgrow porn in tandem with the growth of age and life experiences.

I won't be adding anything in this thread after this post. It has run its course.

I would however give this advise, when you or anyone faces a problem, do a few follow up questions before taking appropriate action.

As an example;

1. What is the problem ?

2. What do u think is the likely root cause of the problem?

3. What type of resources u need 2 solve it ?

4. And if given the resources, how long do you need 2 solve the problem ?

Time frame on solving problems is important, I think everyone here would agree on it.

Go back to No. 2 when u or anyone else has not been able 2 settle a problem, it's likely that the root cause was wrongly identified.

"Superpowers" is a silly word imo.

But these are the "benifits" i experienced when I did nofap, but I will say it took 50+ days for most of this to manifest and in the lead up to 50 days i had some VERY bad days. (Flatlines)

Benefits:

Increased confidence: one day realizing I didn't need to be stuck in dead end work and could do more with my life, feeling almost compelled to do cold approaches.

Desire to be social: wanting to go out, hang with friends, talk to new people. This is the OPPOSITE when I'm using porn and I don't want to go out or talk with anyone.

Waking up early: had always been a "get up at the last minute" kinda guy, sleep in until lunchtime every weekend. Suddenly I was getting up at 7am on my days off.

No depression: had low level depression for YEARS which just burned off after several weeks.

Being a nicer person: this one is hard to explain but I just saw other people's point of view and stopped my bad habit of passive aggressive sniping and making nasty comments disguised as "jokes". I actually started to audit what came out of my mouth.

Increased horniness: to a quite extreme (but controllable) degree.





Anyway those are the main ones I felt.

At the end of the day people can argue that it's all BS or it doesn't work or whatever but in my experience it does and nobody has ANYTHING TO lose from giving it a go.

But give it a GOOD go because as I say it took me over 7 WEEKS to notice a real change, and I had to go through some real unpleasant patches before I got there.

Alright, I see myself having a hard time cvmming while f8cking a girl because of p0rn.

When you talk about fapping, are you referring to fapping to hardcore porn? Fapping to softcore/pics of women? Or fapping out of space because you are horny enough to stimulated by anything that's vaguely feminine and aren't really imagining anything behind it? I think the discussion of this thread has reached mixed views and the fork in the road is to what you are watching while you are fapping rather than fapping itself. If you remain ambiguous then your message could fall through the cracks since not everyone on here is fapping to some crazy extreme hardcore porn and watching it like 7 hours a day.

 

[skinnyguy]

I had trouble getting up with women for 2 years because I was fapping to hardcore porn every night.

Now that I'm on no fap, I'm getting hard and it's a lot less embarrassing. I just shot a HUGE load last week she was like damn lol

He seems confused. He suggests that the Nofapper will be 'way more desirable' and be hanging out with people of 'looser' morals. The idea is the fapper 'mitigates' desire. I think it's the exact opposite - the fapper has the out of control libido... and is more often out at the clubs to meet a floosie. These two activities are joined at the hip.

When you cut out the fapping, you also diminish the desire for the 'hottie' [porn star]. The healthy libido, more in tune with the substance of life, as opposed to the flashy appearance, will then be directed to the more solid and attractive women in the natural course of life.

The science and psychology has been done outside of here. The fapping provides a reward system where sexual desire is rewarded by fapping to porn, not real sex. So it fvcks up your response to the real thing. Not all guys are wired this way, but enough to notice.

There were guys who couldn't get hard to real pvssy and couldn't cvm to real pvssy due to fapping. That's well known.

There are others where it doesn't seem to matter ( I'm guessing most of those are fvcking ).

Fapping without a true sexual outlet rewires your brain to fap to porn when you want some puzzy. If you have pvzzy on demand it's not such a detriment.

Fapped again last night because @mrgoodstuff said that I wasn't fvckable to that girl that rejected me and I read that post before going to bed. Put on some role-play joi and finished with some escort pics. I guess I have to be careful about what I'm reading on here before I hit the sack since I'm sleeping next to a Tablet - which is really intended to play the news so I can hear something boring and fall asleep, not watch porn.
