NoFap is a weird thing.

[HaleyBaron]

NoFap never made any sense to me. I've masturbated hours before going to have sex. And sometimes, after having sex, I'll still masturbate when I'm back home. I always suspected that the reason people don't fap is mostly cause they cannot get a woman, and think no fapping will improve their confidence or whatever. Which seems to be false based on my experience. Or at least, it is not the only factor to guys not getting laid.

I did attempt NoFap last week. Because I am extra busy with work, I also have not had time to meet a woman to curb my urges. It's week two and what a challenge this is. I will admit, that when you store your sex energy, you get a lot more awareness. And it has made me more friendly with women than I usually am. So it does work to an extent. But that's cause I'm also doing NoSex.

It's not worth it. It doesn't do anything. I wonder what weirdo invented this concept in the first place. Some guy who feels the need to worry about what other guys do with themselves? Sounds kinda gay tbh.

I think no fap taps into the sexual shame some people of certain religions still have so it’s a kind of salvation act that also promises to get them sex so it’s a paradox as well which twisted minds seem to love

Which is stupid. It feels more torture than shame, but maybe that also explains the b*dsm aspect that some of these people get off from being denied sex?

I know currently I'm ready to f*ck any woman that moves. Just the other day, I was imagining taking my married coworker into some empty office and taking her on the desk. She wears those short skirts, too, so yeah. On the plus side, it's good to have a high sex drive. It just sucks to have it in a office setting with co eds.

I think no fap is good for improving discipline. It never did a thing for me otherwise.

Sounds like torture man good luck with that.

to clarify I think the shame comes from the views of masturbating. Many “faiths” hold that masturbation is a sin so when they hear that abstaining will get them sex, it’s kind of a two for one: save your soul/stop sinning and improve your chances with the ladies. That’s my theory.

i tried it years ago just to see if the promised results came. I went 52 days without porn or masturbating. Everything got worse including my sales performance.

Its not healthy imo

Without masturbation, testosterone peaks at around day 7 and probably returns to baseline after.

Correct me if I'm wrong about the timeline.

From a gainz perspective, it can help to masturbate only once in ten days to get all the testosterone benefits of nofap.

I'm such a horny guy, I masturbate even if I had 5 marathon sex sessions lasting 3-4 hours the same day.

Regular ejaculation is necessary to cleans the prostate to prevent prostatitus (I've had this and it really sucks) and in some cases, prostate cancer. My doctor agrees.

Like many psychological fixes, if you *think* no fap works, do it. I'm not sold and lean against it.

 

[Willie Naylor]

Elliot Hulse cites a doctor (can't think of his name) that basically has a chart. The chart says how often men in certain age ranges should be ejaculating.

It's not something to do that would put you in the right frame of mind if you want to pray.

I believe nofap is good for dopamine regulation. I've heard of different experiences that people have with doing nofap. Personally, I do it for increased energy and focus.

 

[SW15]

I believe nofap is good for dopamine regulation.

That's the primary benefit. No porn and no fap. Both must be done.

It can enhance motivation to approach. If you're quite horny and know you can't fap, you will make approaches.

Some men report more confidence and assertiveness from no fap and that they are perceived as more attractive with no fap.

 

[Raasay]

I think it is about discipline, control desire and impulse, maybe some energy gain since you need less energy for sperm re-production, but on the other hand afaik sperm cells get disassembled and re-built in regular circle, no matter whether you f*ck or fap or not, so not sure about the energy thing.

I don't do it for weeks, but I do things like either a cigarette before going to sleep or fap or fap only when I hit the gym that day, just for discipline exercises.

I got a trip I am going on this weekend that will have a bunch of good looking women there. I already know I'm going to stop my streak once I go. This is a nice coincidental preparation for it.

Those guys are legitamtly insane, they honestly believe that abstaining from masterbation gives them super powers.

That whole thing is based on one chinese study with only 10 individuals, and even then it only showed a very slight increase on the 7th day.

All the so called benefits from Nofap are based idiotic anecdotes from people on the internet. People claim it cured their depression and made women lust after them.

All the so called benefits from Nofap are based idiotic anecdotes from people on the internet. People claim it cured their depression and made women lust after them.

I implemented no porn and no fap years ago. I can share my experiences.

I'll start by saying it has been an overall positive change.

Some of the benefits are overstated but it doesn't take away from the positives.

No, it will not make women lust after you. It's possible to get a temporary boost in confidence maybe 2-8 weeks into a NoFap regimen. This 2-8 week period into it will be a period where you'll be most motivated to do approaches. You might notice yourself making more bold moves in approaching. You might perceive some better reactions to approaches. If NoFap goes for 6-12 months or longer, you won't become a stud player because of NoFap. Approaching boldness will fall off from the peak level of approach boldness.

The best thing it does is regulate dopamine releases when you have actual sex. It's good for your actual sex life. To keep NoFap going, it's important to keep getting laid regularly otherwise you'll want to do porn and fap.

While doing no porn and NoFap and going on dates, make sure to close better. For instance, if you have a hot makeout session on a date and don't have sex on it, you'll want to watch porn and fap due to being super horny.

In terms of how you're perceived by women, NoFap isn't as powerful as adding muscle or getting a higher salary. However, doing NoFap might help a white collar worker have better social dynamics that could lead to a promotion with a higher salary or performing better on a job interview that will result in a job change with a higher salary. White collar work is often more perception based than blue collar work.

If you do no porn and NoFap, you'll get the best results if you actively exercise (including weight training) and eat clean. I have chosen to avoid processed ingredients and soy-based ingredients in my diet.

If you implement the changes I discussed when you find yourself single and have no prospects, it'll still be a difficult process to improve your dating life. It's worth doing, but realize that implementing all those things I mentioned is a 6-12 month process.

saying this, is like telling an addict "why dont you just stop drinking then" its such narrow mindedness, and one has no understanding of the different psychological - psychosomatic symptoms we all go through....

its almost like that feeling you get trying to convert a blue pill guy, and he just wont accept it.

Ive explained many times to the ignorance on here, the reason people Do NoFap....

when you fap(over years+year) your penis gets used to a certain grip and style to arouse it.
when you watch porn at least 5 times a week, your dopamine pathways are totally rewired to arousal.

thus the problem when you get a normal woman in your company, her kitty doesnt imitate your hand grip,
and everything about her doesnt imitate the total hardcore fantasies youve been watching the for the last 15 years..

Queue a gazillion problems, sloppy erection, acorn head, cant nut, no arousal.

but then when you return to the hand&porn you get instant diamond cutting big erections

obviously you want it the other way around. this is why people NoFAP, it resets everything. A woman only has to breathe down your kneck, and your ready to destroy her kitty.

its an amazing feeling

I accidentally did no fap a few years ago. I got sick.. was down 4 days... didn’t fap. Then went on work assignment out of state for a week and had to room with some other dude. So i made it two weeks and realized I had not fapped. So tried going another week. I hated it... there were times a stiff breeze would give me a bone... at work I was pooping them all day... I also got very moody. If your not suffering from some type of porn induced ED or suffering from a porn addiction.. there is zero benefit. Unless you like walking around all day with a hard on. Ohhh and I’m convinced you would lower your standards significantly after going 3 weeks with no fapping ... every girl looked good

I didn't lower my standards due to NoFap.

Walking around all day with an erection is not bad. I started NoFap years ago while at a previous job. I was in my office and was hard. One of the better looking female employees at this company walked into my office. Most men would have rated her as Cute (range of 6-7.5). That's where she fell on my rating scale. She talked to me while I had the rock hard erection. Unlike the Anchorman scene, she didn't mention anything and I was seated at a desk while I had the erection. She might not have seen it but during the whole conversation, I was wondering if she noticed it.

I can see how the moodiness would be possible. I'm not sure about the pooping.
