My 5 Weeks No Fap, Semen Retention, Zero P0rn Journey!

[soulforge]

I really think there needs to be a better discussion around the difference between No Fap and stopping the viewing of Pornography. It always seems like the discussion falls in on itself as people talking about them both as the same thing and discussing their pros/cons together rather than being discrete activities to a certain degree. While stopping both can be beneficial depending on the circumstance and person, equating the two tends to muddy the waters regarding how bad Porn can be for dopamine, healthy sense of self etc.. It fails men who might simply benefit from removing the porn from their life while continuing to masturbate (using their imagination etc as others have stated).

I think both fapping & the porn addiction conversation always gets put together for the following reason.

Most of us who are not complete retards fully understand that Porn addiction is not healthy.

Can fapping be done without Porn?

Yes it absolutely can.. You can fap & simply use your imagination.. However.. It takes a certain type of individual who has the strength, character & will power to be able to fap using imagination alone in the long run... Long run means YEARS!!

MOST dudes are WEAK as shyte, and will deter back to pornography after maybe jacking off to imagination a few times.

Fapping & Pornography just seem to go hand in hand for the VAST majority of men, separating the two, is easier for the guys who are getting regular actual sex and those who have a strong mindset.

Quitting both for a period of time is the ultimate test of wether you will be able to separate both in the long run.

Hi Sanghelios,
"I'm not a huge fan of the idea of semen retention, I've seen some evidence that not ejaculating may be a risk factor for prostate cancer."Surprised no one else has raised this...Some years ago I got checked out in Hospital,the Male Technician opined,that it was healthier to "clean your pipes out"than retain it....Be interesting to hear Pierces thoughts on this?

Yeh, I mentioned the health benefits earlier from menshealth.com, one of which is it reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

Also, I agree with @obelisk about using imagination versus porn.. Again the brain is the most powerful sexual organ in the body, utilize it! Men being too weak-minded to do so is a rather lame excuse imo, no disrespect. Especially knowing how addictive and detrimental too much porn can be.

Anyway, thought this might be a good time to post the link from menshealth.com for anyone interested in knowing the benefits.

Some of them may surprise you!

This sounds good on Paper.. Using your imagination to Jack off.

Do you know how many men are disciplined enough & capable of switching from a life time of jacking off to porn, to switching over to imagination & then sticking with imagination indefinitely? Hardly any!

A few days of Jacking off using imagination, will more likely lead to the odd day of using porn.. and the odd day of using porn, will lead to porn addiction again.

The best approach would be to quit porn all together, quit jacking off all together for a period of time.. Let your brain rewire, and adjust to life for a period of time without Porn & then gradually get back to jacking off using your imagination only.

My preferred method is.. No porn No Jacking off at all & have actual sex with a real woman lol.
