It works for you. You don't hear that it makes a difference for ethnic sub-5s, chadlites and chads. But that's good advice that should work with most people on here.

If you think you are not worthy of achieving any goal, you will inevitably prove yourself to be correct. But it's all in your head.

This goal has been achieved and does nothing for me.

I am unsure what NoFap does to "gaming". They are too many variables to take into consideration when it comes to picking up girls for semen retention to be a noticeable factor.

When it comes to no masturbation and no porn, I see it more as a practice to correctly rewire your brain, elevate your self-control and detox your brain. As many of you know I am a mindset coach so I approach this concept from that angle.

Porn simply gives men the wrong idea about sex. It blurs it. It wires the brain in a certain way that I believe is toxic.

Masturbation on the other hand is more about self-control, along with semen retention which might have some health benefits. But it is also said that semen retention for too long can have the opposite health effect. Therefore, I only recommend going through cycles (which is what I do). I do a 3 or 6-month NoFap routine and break it off for a few months. *This does not take into consideration plates or hookups.*

Giving up porn is a given to me, it should be done ASAP and forever. But if you want to take it up a notch from NoFap, I would recommend also abstinence for 3 months periods. Again, this is mainly a mindset practice. I can't talk about the health benefits since I am not a health coach.

I was just writing in a journal and plotting about what types of pics I might allow myself to look at near the end of the month after being several months of no-porn. Going over such intricate planning caused a very strong temptation to fap and I ended up fapping over the idea of potentially looking at pics of women later into the month. That is pure hunger to do that. I freaked out that I fapped on that and crossed out whatever I wrote on paper. I didn't know my own words in my own journal thinking about a strategy of what to even look at can cause a break of a no-fap like that!

If I watch porn, I make myself easily susceptible to death grip and my erections do not reach maximum efficiency. I only watch porn after I've had sessions and just couldn't bust or on lazy sunday afternoons lol.

I think my application of it subscribes to the welfare mindset. It is after all, something that's unearned.

It does. But on a microscope ,individual level. I guess we all know by now porn has a almost similar effect as narcotics. It's a REAL addiction. It might also bring unrealistic expectations .unfortunately male sexuality is still being shamed. (Example, men dont like to talk about their sexlife amongst each other). So even giga Chad might have his fair share of struggle with porn, you just won't hear about it.

About no fap. Once addicted, stepping back is always good .So a man whose spending too much money time ect on porn going no fap will have a positively effect his life. The delusion surrounding NF is that you will ooze testosterone and attract women like you are you are a turd and they are flies.

I wouldn't compare it to real narcotics since it's just not a real addiction with me. I'm not looking at it now, or have been for a while.
Drugs can't replace a real women, but on the other hand, porn (ie or my specific tastes in it which is debatable on whether it's actually porn or not) is at least dealing with the fact of not interacting intimately with any woman and is more substitutionary for that. I would not touch any real drugs with a ten-foot pole and haven't the slightest interests in drugs and am repelled by them all. Therefore, this is not a drug.

What wrong idea?

Society encourages young women to destroy, belittle, criticize and arrest men if they have any sexual urges or if they are not genetically blessed.

Porn isn’t the problem.

I think it's a sort of "confirmation bias" mixed with "wishful thinking." The guy on a successful nofap streak is feeling good about himself, and he's feeling horny.* He believes that nofap is giving him attraction super-powers. Thus, he is hyper-aware of friendly women. Then some chick is merely friendly/polite to him in real life, and he's convinced that she's attracted.

I'm on a nofap streak right now, and I'm noticing some of the above. But I'm blackpilled enough to know that these women are only being polite/friendly, and it means nothing.

Notwithstanding, I like (and support) nofap and will keep it going.

*Assuming he's not on the flatline.

Do you think masturbating with someone's body is the Chimpanzee or Bonobo way?

It is the throw a wrench at the feminists way.

Different issue.

Still wondering why porn gives men the wrong idea about sex.

It's been screwing me up a lot when I have had too much down time but something I have been thinking of, what if you only watch SOLOS where you imagine yourself screwing a check as opposed to seeing her screwing another dude?

I've always thought a lot of PUA methods work like this. Guys think they have the secret to attraction, they think they have the advantage, and that makes them confident, and that makes them get out there and interact with girls in a confident way, then they have some success, which gives them encouragement for the future. And it all probably had more to do with believing in themselves and taking action as opposed to any method they were using.

As for the main topic, I agree it is best to stay away from masturbation and especially porn, but some guys are just oversexed. I've known guys who get laid routinely, but they say they will masturbate 10 times a day. Some guys have that kind of sex drive.

As someone who at most has done 2 weeks on NoFap, it makes a difference because it actually makes you want to go out and chase women. When I was constantly watching porn and being inside, I had no drive to go out and chase women.

But you used Tinder instead of going out during that time?
