this might be a bad place to ask, since there's so much porn, but has anyone actually gone a substantial amount of time without masturbating or looking at porn and seen a significant improvement to their life and psyche?

I've done the no masturbating thing before but abstaining from porn is a new for me and I didn't realize how hard it would be, nor did I realize how much I actually looked at porn on a daily basis.

porn is the only way I can get hard anymore, I don' t even get morning erections, and I've heard it's a pretty common sign of porn addiction.

I don't get it

Do you fap/porn out of boredom?

dude, it's like I wake up and start looking for images to download. it's gotten bad.

I haven't fapped since the 21st but today was my first day without looking at porn, or at least not deliberately since it's everywhere on here.

I found that it's an addiction just like any other, like cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, video games... Its not a problem if you don't go out of your way to make it so. Really just a matter of self control.

went 3 months without masturbating during college 1st semester. No change whatsoever.

depends on you
i stopped fapping and felt like i had more energy and less fatigue and get hornier easier from things that arent porn
i would say benefits granted from high t

When I was in boot camp a few years ago, no porn or fap, no boners in general.. I also lost weight and gained muscle, but that wasn't because of my dick.

Look at it from this side op..

Mastrubation is good to prevent Prostate Cancer

So literally what nofap is is a place full of low life degenerates telling you to stop fighting cancer. .

from what I've heard, it's not that you have more T it's just that when you're constantly jerking off you have less 'androgen' for the testosterone to bind to, or something like that.

yes, I've heard that before which is why I'm still going to give myself prostate massages occasionally.

Yeah! I went 187 days at my longest streak. It did get easier not to jerk off after like a month or month and a half in.

No change in psyche but I wasn't looking for one anyways. Lifestyle was a bit better. I thought about sex less, which was nice. Not less horny right after getting back from class when I'd normally jerk off. Sex with my girlfriend at the time got better, too.

I now look at porn on a daily basis again and it's honestly a bit of a time sink and does keep me from meeting new girls a bit.

I'd definitely recommend quitting porn for a bit if you aren't getting hard. Or at least stop watching videos as an easier step away from it. Look at a pictures (and only a limited amount is even better). Listen to some erotic stories Reddit has an okay sub for that. Or read it. Getting away from the videos might help shake your brain up a bit.

Hope you get your boners back, friend. Watch out for wet dreams if you make it super far into not jacking off without sex, too! Annoying sticky bonus to remind you that your brain is a dumb animal one.

Then its not Nofap.. trust me, a Prostate orgasm is way more hardcore then a regular one.. trust me, done it.. best shit ever.

that is literally a myth

I wouldn't be doing it to orgasm, just for prostate health. you can still milk your prostate of built up fluids without cumming full on and having an orgasm.

yeah recent studies have said that it does for men over 40 but for youth it can actually have a negative effect

Lets put it in a prespective you might understand..

Take a organic fluid, with bacteria in it, leave it there for a while, and observe what happens.

and that is literally the most retarded analogy I have ever heard

fuck you for subjecting me to your idiocy

this guy. this guy knows.

There is some argument there, but it would also be way better all around, health-wise, for OP to get someone else to shoot that load in/on.

Swapping spit is good for the immune system, touching people makes your brain release happy chemicals, getting that spunk out once a week helps with the prostate cancer.

I think it would benefit OP, at least, to stop looking at porn in the short term so he can get a boner again when in front of another person. NoFap might be a necessary step to get there

Both yes and no. I have had times where i was really busy and i didn't have the energy to jack off but i really just went straight to bed for like weeks at a time.
So on one hand yes i did see a significant improvement to my life and psyche but that was more because i was spending time doing great things and learning a lot, it had less to do with not jacking off.

I went 7 months without porn or masturbation and didn't change at all. The thing is you have to actually be a normie for this to even work. If you are already an autist than unless you make great changes to become normie nothing will truly change in your life other than you not watching porn or masturbating.

Literally care less dude.. its you who's going to deal with cancer, not me.

do you feel like you were addicted to porn though? or were you viewing in moderation

Well that depends on a persons definition of addicted. I think at least 5 hours a week should count as an addiction. Can't say exactly how many hours a week I was doing at that time since it was many years ago now but I did somehow go that long at least not fapping. I'm pretty positive I would watch some porn at least 2-3 times a week at that point and was usually for at least a couple of hours each time. I would find scenes I wanted to watch for awhile before settling on a few scenes to watch.

I'm beyond addicted by those standards

Me too user me too...

Which is why I needed to tell you it isn't going to work. Go and try being as normal as you can. If you are normal yet addicted then whatever not too big of a deal. If you are an autistic beta with this issue then doing this isn't likely going to help you one bit. Only nofap as one of many other things you do in pursuit of trying to better yourself. Not put all your eggs into this one basket hoping you will change for the better.

eh, I'm gonna go ahead and disagree that this won't help me out a lot. I'm not expecting it to be some miracle fix, but the benefits of not spending your time jerking off twice a day and watching hours of porn seem to be pretty apparent.

Well just remember my point. If you are a normie with your life mostly well adjusted something like a porn and fap addiction would likely just be a minor nuisance in your life. If you are an autist porn and fapping is likely just a symptom of much larger issues in your life. It is up to you to know what you need to do.

I've noticed I'm more likely to want to put myself out there when I haven't jerked off for several days. I've also heard porn desensitizes you because you can see the most hardcore stuff whenever you want and actual sex seems boring as a result. I used to have crazy needs to download as much porn as I can. I've torrented hundreds of GBs as a result. I've noticed browsing Sup Forums doesn't help considering vast majority of threads are on/off and teen nudes. Gives you crazy high standards for girls when you can see 10s naked selfies which seems unhealthy

desensitization is a huge problem of mine and a big part of why I think I'm having trouble getting turned on. it's like my body has forgotten what it's like to be excited by nudity or anything sex related.

Well then I suggest only fapping from thoughts. No porn. Exercising helps as well. No exaggeration the feeling I get when I deadlift heavy weights is comparable to orgasm.

Trust me, you don't want to

Went 3 months without jacking off and I saw no change. I didn't have as much acne when I stopped masturbating though.

Same its a normie meme. Still unable to make eye contact with females after 4 months.
