Nofap?

[Infern0]

Experiences?

Personally after a year of experimenting and various periods on/off, I'm never going back to porn, it's a waste of time and makes you weak.

Porn and whacking off = instant brain fog and lethargy for days for me. Weird how sex doesn't have that effect?

What is the reason you have chosen not to look at porn or fap? I take it most people who make these resolutions in the site are not motivated because of fear of going to hell or are not even Christians worrying about losing their salvation. I'd be always interested to hear higher motivations.

What type of porn did you look at? How often did you look at it? How did it affect your overall life? At what point did you decide that your porn-issue went to far and you need to stop this? When did you start?

You said "brain fog". What is that mean? I feel this weird feeling and I'm like feeling in space, guilty, and is that like brain fog as you define it? I don't feel lethargy, but more like a creepy anxiety.

Nofap is what I do, when I'm not fapping. Lol

I stopped because I started to get problems performing. Happened once wrote it off as whiskey ****, happened again wtf. Also I had lost "sensation" so I read to stop for 30 days to restore sensitivity.

By mid way on the third week I had loads of extra energy and confidence which I wasn't expecting but kind of wrote off, week 4 I had sex and everything worked great so I was like whew that's over.

But when I started looking at porn and masterbating the performance issues came back and I lost energy a lot and confidence and didn't want to be social.

I started on porn at age 14 all the way until 28, I used daily and it escalated over time, when I stopped I was 3-4 times a day.

Brain fog is just lack of focus, lack of clarity, not feeling yourself. Lethargic, unmotivated, antisocial, lazy etc.

I've ALWAYS struggled to get up in the mornings, on my days off I'd get up at 12-1 and could seemingly never get enough sleep. After quitting porn and masterbating that started to change, now I'm wide awake at 6.30-7am on my days off.

Starting to feel similar results to Inferno, although i have only stopped watching porn for 3 weeks and have nearly cut fapping to 0 (only 2/3 times last 3 weeks). Erections are much stronger, just still need to field test it in the sack but i have a feeling it will go well.

I went no porn and no fap for a little over 2 months earlier this year, and was much better off for it. I felt extra relaxed, focused, and in control of myself.

HOWEVER - after 2 months went by, I was starting to get pretty irritable very easily. I could tell I was getting distracted easier, upset easier, and I began to realize why. I broke down and had to fap (I wasn't dating anyone at the time, so sex was unfortunately not an option), and I felt a lot better afterwards. I instantly felt less stressed and more relaxed.

This leads me to believe that it is ok in moderation. Just don't go overboard watching porn 4 days a week and fapping furiously to the most hardcore videos, because eventually you'll get so desensitized that you'll only be able to get off to the most extreme videos/situations imaginable. Don't go down that road, because it's tough to turn back from it.

I don't agree with that. Sex has that effect for me too when I'm getting it regular from the same woman. Hence I get quite lazy when I have stable plates, or when I've been in LTR's.

I find it really difficult. I go 4 days without sex or masturbation, and I want to rip some poor cvnts head off. I also find it tough to sleep and relax. Although it has a really good effect on my interactions with women.

I just think it's best to be balanced. Whacking off 3 times a day is crazy, and will kill your vibe.

Yeah. I think the thing is though if you've been a porn addict, doing it at all is bad because you've conditioned your brain so if you go a couple of months then do it again you go back into that hole.

Theres science on this I. E burning out your dopamine receptors, I fully belive it based off my own experience

That's how it was for me, like night and day being off porn and then back on it. I almost instantly became a zombie again, I even started getting blue pill thoughts.

For those who never got addicted there's probably a healthy balance but if you've overused it like I have its got to go.

I've had enough wanks at 28 to last a lifetime.

Internet porn is the current plague on Mankind.

 

[El Payaso]

How do your expect to jack off 4 to 5 times a day and not exist any negative side effects. C'mon dude.

It's simple knowledge. Too much of anything isn't good for you. Masturbating once in a while isn't a problem.

CHRONIC masturbation is the problem.

 

[resilient]

I haven't looked at porn in three months. I hope to quit for good. It takes discipline.

I've noticed situations have improved off screen. My interactions with people are better. I can hold eye contact longer. I'm less fidgety. I enjoy flirting more and feeling that relaxed comfortable in your own skin feeling in social settings.

I also do high intense interval training for 30 straight minutes daily after work so that helps chillax the nerves and getting the positive neurotransmitters my brain felt lacking before I head out to socialize.

I wish I was nofap completely, yet I've def. reduced what I used to so I have enough "build up" to approach or socialize on the weeknights.

Good luck, OP.

 

[PeasantPlayer]

I love no fap, but like I mentioned on here I no fapped for a few months and busting a load making out with a woman. It was funny and embarrassing at the same time.

Is there a way I can control that? I heard about Kegels, but never tried them

 

[The Duke]

When I drink 3 times a day, I have problems too! Who duh thunk? Come on people how about a little self control? And who has time to beat off 3 times a day anyways?

30yrs ago beating your meat was supposed to make you blind!

 

[ImTheDoubleGreatest!]

I think it depends on your age. I've heard my dad say the same thing you are talking about how jacking it makes you tired for days and stuff, but sex doesn't. But honestly, I myself don't notice a difference. I feel almost exactly the same before I jacked it as after. I think it's cuz I'm a lot younger than most of you guys.

 

[TheMonkeyKing]

I do feel more buzzed after sex as it's usually like a full on workout for me anyway; lying around jacking off just drains you physiologically and psychologically with no real physical effort nor benefit.

There is definitely a noticeable difference in a lot of ways even after a week or two abstinence. Find myself very mentally and physically restless after that time though. Need to learn how to channel the surplus energy I suppose, like going out to get laid....

 

[Juanto]

Are you able to sustain longer and harder erections if you dont fap at all, or it doesnt make any difference for you?

 

[mrgoodstuff]

NOFAP works. It causes you to focus on real sights and sensations. Also you will do things more likely to get you laid with women. FAP-ing can become a defeating addiction.
