It's true what they say: If you don't use it, you lose it
Have a good life when your cock falls off, user
Don't say I didn't warn you

Bump
For
Interest

It's no use except if you're vulnerable to placebo.

I did it for a month and a half, didn't change anything. Looking at the people who really are into nofap it seems to be entirely placebo.

Some studies suggest frequent masturbation has been linked to erectile dysfunction.

yes

No fap for longer than 2 weeks will literally lead to cancer in your nuts. Fapping a couple times a month is actually good for cancer prevention. Im convinced the no fap shit is a jewish trick to get pollacks to get ball cancer.

Define frequent though, just because you shouldn't do it five times a day doesn't mean you shouldn't do it at all.

And lack of masturbation is linked to prostate cancer. There is moderation and balance in everything.

just dont watch 3dpd porn

that's 3dpd porn actually

There are no studies which demonstrate the link between abstinence and prostate cancer, only a lower frequency of masturbation compared to a higher frequency.

Soooo, shite argument mate

Proof?

It doesn't do a thing if you lack direction.
But if you already have something to focus on, your productivity goes up 1000%.

Try it for a few weeks, see what happens.

Yeah nofap works. Ever since I started doing it my life has gotten better. Give it a shot.

Took me about 6 seconds to find something schlomo. medscape.com/viewarticle/844820

Wrong.
The opposite is true, higher rates of masturbation = more prostate cancer.

...

Can you quote shit instead of linking a site you need to be a member of just to view its articles?

...

Frequent as in daily and you're misunderstanding the concept of abstinence in terms of nofap. As the screen shot depicted in my post suggests, there seems to be some positive side effects in correlation with nofap. Not that masturbation in general is damaging.

NoFap is a cult.

No.
Go lift and eat right instead of being a bitch.

I've tried no fap about 3 times properly now.

The first time I got to nearly 2 weeks before I woke up and my balls were literally in pain.

...

Not an argument.

Reminder

...

How am I supposed to get past day five without a nocturnal emission?

Already do, I'm just curious if semen retention can elevate my state of health.

Don't watch porn but jerk off in the shower or something once a week. Start lifting too and you'll notice your libidio is through the roof

DON'T LISTEN TO THE NOFAP JEW
Jerking off is healthy. It's the porn that ruins you. I know that this is kind of a meme opinion to have but I assure you that porn fucks up your dopamine system more than anything that you can legally get. The way this works is that back when humans were still developing as a species there weren't that many of us around and so the brain had to develop certain survival strategies. One of these strategies is heavy dopamine release upon seeing a naked female to reward the individual. While sex and orgasms work on the same principle they don't release as much dopamine as seeing naked women does. Watching literally hundreds of naked females WILL fuck up your dopamine system, making other rewards feel small and inadequate compared to porn. This is what causes nihilism, kills your will to act and makes life so, so much harder than it should be.

Yes , i tried to get to 90 days but only made it to 62 days and that was some of the best 2 months of my life in a while that I've had in terms of confidence
Socially
And productivity wise aswell as mental clarity.
But on day 63 the urges became strong and I convinced myself to fap and after that I did it again since I already lost the streak and snowballed from there and now I'm fapping everyday again and back to my old social habits.

Nocturnal emissions are the expulsion of cowper's fluid, which builds up as a consequence of sexual arousal.
Stop thinking sexual thoughts and lay on your side at night and nocturnal emissions will become a thing of the past.

I don't have that kind of control over my dreams. Especially sexual dreams. I also move in my sleep.

Jacking off and even having sex can reactivate the same pathways that were created by the pornography habit, thereby strengthening them, making your advice self-defeating and contradictory.
You need to quit it for good for at least two years.

...

you can call anything a cult. Sup Forums is a cult. back to the actual science, no fap is great, getting hard at bikini pictures like you're 15 again means your brain is regulating back to normal. if you have to jerk off to kinky shit it's clear you've desensitized all sorts of receptors in your brain.

that study is false. Not busting nuts will not cause cancer.

Maybe it’s a Jewish trick to ensure men are scared to do nofap and grow into stronger individuals?

all I know is nofap cured my receding hairline and girls are way more attracted to me now.

Dreams are the result of your daily thoughts. Alter them and your dreams will be altered.

>Dreams are the result of your daily thoughts.
literally bro science

Wrong

t. vee

It’d better...

Perhaps the subconscious collects information in your day to day activities and archives them during rest resulting in dreams.

>the decision came too late

But he didn't :^)

Been trying nofap february, so far I've been holding up fine but my cock has shrinked alot and my libido is almost at zero.

So far the "benefits" seem like bullshit.

...

...

...

Nothing works
You have to fake it till you make it OP

Gonna take you a bit longer than a month bud

Sounds like you haven't really read up on the subject too much

>porn is bad for your dopamine but smashing your pleasure button isn’t

listen fellow pole, masturbating is terrible for you. not only will you go bald and have less energy in the morning, you may never reach your full potential because you’re throwing away extremely valuable sexual energy.

think of it like

>your goals
>hard work
>success

vs not doing nofap
>your goals
>masturbation
>masturbation
>masturbation
>etc


stop being a fucking mouse who can’t stop smashing his pleasure button. Use your aching testicles to learn an instrument or crush it at work, get laid, etc.

I'd say its good if porn and fapping is actually hindering your life. I watch porn and fap sometimes, hasn't stopped me from progressing my hobbies or getting a new job.

I personally think its more important to control your desires than to just nuke them all and become a monk. Urges are fucking fun, just be a master of them.

unironically interesting since I've never had a dream regarding my daily thoughts or experiences
and they are all some form of nightmares

if you’re doing well off nofap, imagine how good you can do on nofap?

you could be hindering your potential, doesn’t that bother you? stop fapping and watching porn.

>hasn't stopped me from progressing my hobbie

Naw, but it'll still hinder you

It WILL stop you from being that extra 15% in all facets of your life

Yes it does very much
Only addicts defends porn and masturbation

Yeah it works. You have more energy, confidence and a of course bigger urge to talk to women and fuck their brains out.

But don't go all cold turkey on it. Everything in moderation. Try to keep it to a couple of times per month. Like every 8-10 days or so.

google: Use it or lose it.
no fap, makes you some fags's future bitch

/noporn plus opening the 'relief valve' every 1-3 weeks worked well for me.

>I masturbate to avoid anal penetration

A weekly cycle does work rather well for me, considering I have hypogonadism and never reacted strongly to visual stimulation, even back in the middle of puberty; while nearing the 7th I can notice it's easier to get erected on its own, it manages to reach maximum hardness and since it requires less stimulation to reach the erection, the time that passes from first stimulation to ejaculation is definitely longer.

I also found extremely important the amount of hours of sleep and even more than it the type of awakening: if it's sudden, too distant from your usual routine or stressful in any way (in terms of noise and light especially) the cortisol awakening response may spike excessively, hampering the effectivity and production of hormones.

sage because not political.

It bothered me when I used it as a crutch, but I'm pretty good with the balance I've found. In my experience I drop it all cold turkey when I start dating anyways, so no I'm not too bothered.

Well, here's what they thought of it before Freud single-handedly declared it holy practice to wank.

Pornography does have influence on society and is to some degree becoming political.

It's easy to abstain from 3D porn.... 2D is challenge

Juan i tried the 7 week cycle and it’s pretty good but have you tried seeing how you felt the coming week after skipping your 7th day fap? might still be able to level up more

the state of men is always political.

you think Crusaders busted nuts beforehand? no they harnessed that energy.

there’s a reason why musicians and athletes abstain before performing

Tried it, doesn't do shit.
The real problem is wasting hundreds of ours a year watching porn when you could do something productive. This is what this movement should be about.

The real problem is that you have all this time to be fapping 5 times a day. If you handle your business and have time to fap every day to ease the tension you are probably doing good for your health. It's not the root of problems.

For how long did you try it for?

Nah bud, even masturbating twice a day is creating a super high baseline for your dopamine levels which makes it harder to feel rewarded for doing other tasks.

Fapping 5 times a day for the foreseeable future WILL make you depressed

You ejaculate in your sleep when you abstain.

I quit porn around new years, and besides a single failure early on I've cut it out with no issues. I still treat with joystick 2-3 times/wk though, with a goal of 1/wk or less. I haven't noticed much change desu. Have I just not done enough?

Do you know what book this is from?

You could make the same dopamine argument for people being unproductive on coke etc. This is all from experience.
Get real.

Listening up folks because I practiced NOFAP
for 3 years in pursuit of spiritual aims from ages 15-19.

Here's some truths about it
>Increases your intelligence by rewiring your dopamine reward system
>Makes you more magnetic (not sexually, but charismatically)
>Probably helps the thickness of hair but its inconclusive
>Nocturnal Emissions didn't happen for me but I did eventually have side effects that caused me to quit........
.....
Negative Side Effects:
>After two years or so I began developing a strange orgasm response to nonsexual activites
>Food would make me orgasm(no kidding)
>Yoga would make me orgasm (anytime I tried it---any pose that put pressure on my kidneys)


Since that time I've experimented now and again with it but it makes me irritable and (maybe because of my increased age) nocturnal emissions do occur

Nofap isn't really worth it. Instead you should practice obligational sex with your girlfriend and nourish eachother's chi stores.

Much better overall for your relationships and health.

>''Get real"
Really stupid? Is that your only argument?

Dude, if you used coke 5 times a day then obviously you're going to have problems in life

Are you being real?

27 days if I remember correctly. It just made me more horny and I came much faster for the next week or so.

yes, 10/10

Genetics do also factor in when discussing the subject of nofap.

user I... just don't know what to say to that story.

Yes, but not if used at the correct times. A bit of hyperbole 4 ur autism m8

I’ve found the best system is go cold turkey for as long as possible. if you’re in a masturbating cycle most likely you’ve slid potential wise. Take a month or two off from casual sex/masturbation to collect yourself as a man. Make sure you’re not balding, get your aesthetic and priorities straight.

then when you’re happy with the man you’ve become get back into the dating scene and continue ejaculating as little as possible.

You will maximize your dating potential on nofap.

>hours: 0-5
what the fuck? people look at porn for 5 hours straight?

"Work" for what?
What a retarded non question.

Ive probably fapped for 12 hours straight at some point tb.h

Tell me how you can use coke 5 times everyday of your life and still be okay, since you obviously seem to know that it can work.

Nofap works better than I thought it would. I have way more energy, more sex drive, and I'm consistently more motivated. Usually once a week or two I'll fap and get it outta my system but otherwise the day-to-day benefits outweigh the need to fap everyday.

Do nofap. Be a better you

You said coke 5 times a day, not me. Irrelevant tangent.

Work as in have any beneficial side effects usually bolstered about in the no fap community.

keep it up user. Life has only gotten better and better since i started nofap.

no

Wank enough, and you'll spend an hour just trying to orgasm.
I'd imagine the more you wank, the longer it'll take, especially if you're double dipping or edging.

Aye and you said it would work if you used it at the correct times.

So again, tell me how you can make it work then since you seem to posses this knowledge.
