I don't know...its still sounds like a cope. Imo mastrubation is a way to relief your self. But I am following this thread with high interest, to see if and how y'all will benefit from this.
Back in the day, we'd rag on each other for jerking off, for the sole reason that it was unproductive. That's it. No other reason.
Can't help but think that if the benefits are so great it would've been common knowledge for some time now...
True you would get a nickname such as "jerky beef", and feel the pressure to go get a damn GF.
It was well understood before "Enlightenment" times. It was generally understood that too much sex made you retarded, effeminate, physically weak and ritually impure. After all, men give their life essence away, this is why they feel relaxed, weaker and more emotional after orgasm. You give part of your essence to a woman, your woman is filled up with your essence each time, she absorbs what makes you. Your seed is like investment in stocks. Invest wisely with maximum return.
NNN does not make sense when you still have sex. The benefit is better when you don't masturbate, but doing a complete dopamine detox and reset for your brain comes only when you abstain from sex.
A critical note to this movement;
This whole NF thing originated from ofcourse Das Church. The same men who claimed to be celibate were raping young boys. And even tho they've been exposed, the general mindset is still imprinted upon society. Sex , mastrubation etc. is sometimg to be ashamed of.
Maybe it had a greater purpose because its was more challenging to prevent pregnancy back then.
I'm in, hopefully this will keep me accountable because I have a very bad porn addiction to the point where I can't even have sex since I'm so used to porn and can't even get it up with a girl, despite having no problem with that when I'm watching porn. I don't live alone and I'm gonna be buying a time release locking case that will only open when the timer hits zero so that I can put my electronics in them when I'm alone and only have access to them when I can't look at porn.
Sounds like a ED(erectile dysfunction). Fapping is WAY more comfortable in a way right? You are alone, you get to pick what woman . And on the other hand you kinda set the bar how sex should be(like in porn).
Some famous Chad recently talked about this topic. It's the pressure of feeling that you have to deliver , a woman who sits doggy full of expectations ect. In this case it's a great idea to stay away from pron for a while.
