I was on NoFap for 15 days. Not watching porn and masturbating saved a lot of time which increased my productivity. I didn't notice any significant improvement in my energy levels or my motivation.
From day 12 onwards I got cold/fever/upset stomach and started to get sad and depressed. On day 15 I decided to rub one out and I did. I am not feeling guilty or anything like that. I'm feeling good.
Was that a phase that I need to get over with or is it all just a meme?
I think you need around 90 days to rewire your brain
>he thinks 15 days means anything
How pathetic can you be to think 15 days without masturbating is a lot?
That's for people who are into really weird tranny porn or people who couldn't get an erection without watching porn. It's called PIED or something like that. I don't have that problem. I just have small public anxiety problem.
I am not saying it's a lot. I wanted to know if SR and not masturbating for a long time is really a good idea or am I just giving myself blue balls.
You need an eternity to let go of your deluded cope
Yes. NoPorn is a legit thing. Semen retention is silly.
kek
He isn't saying anything wrong though. If you got in a really weird porn rabbit hole and you hate yourself for doing that then it helps. I got sucked in a really weird fetish and stopped watching it for months and now I am repulsed if I see it.
When you read all the articles and threads about semen retention it just gets weird really quick. Are most of the people just larping or do they really experience all those benefits?
Yea, 38days nofap, keep waking up stroking my cock and dry humping my bed sheets.. Shits hard
Apart from difficulty in sleeping, did you notice anything better because of it?
You have a sex drive that starts to grow stronger. You start actually going for women instead of rubbing one out. That means you have to work on yourself to become something women are attracted to. That sexual drive or energy is needed to push yourself to overgrow yourself and the standard.
It's why men are so good at a lot of things. Testosteron pushing sex drive pushing our assertion in the world.
15 days is not a lot. Maybe you don't have a very high test level, or sex drive. It might take more. Just don't sit still and get frustrated. Go out and redirect your energy.
Hm, a sense of judgement gone, accomplishment, victory over hell and sin, guilt free, i sigh of relief.. feels good man
So....it works. I just have to keep on going.
If you dont feel anything after 15 fucking days you should get your testosterone levels checked, I start splitting wigs a week in.
It only really does anything if you have some fucking fapping addiction, like some anons who'd spend hours per day on it. If you rub one out every now and then, nothing will happen.
Porn can become an issue though and could lead you down some fucking weird shit which in turn will make your sexual life more difficult, but that's not guaranteed either.
its not even that fapping every once in a while is so bad. It's just that the complete freaked out fucked up porn industry has found it's way into your reptile brain so well that it has become as addictive as smoking or heroin.
Rid your mind of lusting for porn, rewire your brain so you lust for a woman. For the possibility of connection, warmth, a family.
Pixels aren't going to give you a home, user. They won't push you to be better.
>I start splitting wigs a week in.
What does this mean
Interesting. Earlier I used to feel bad and guilty after masturbating. I used to do it daily maybe that was the reason....who knows.... But when I masturbated on day 15 and yesterday, that feeling was gone and I was feeling better about myself. I guess I have to start it again and get some work done.
>s NoFap and semen retention just a meme?
yes
I think he meant twigs
Without someway to release I'm sure I'd be a murderer of some sort. I think too much porn does fuck with people's mental relationship with sex and is bad.
>don't fap for 1 day
>Get a hard-on for an ugly 50year old cleaning lady's ass at work
15 days is nothing. if you can't do that without complications you have problem and you are in denial.
i started with no porn for 60 days. and after that naturally came no fap for another 60 days. one thing that is annoying is wet dreams they are getting more frequent. but being able to cum without touching yourself is something i lost to porn. now it is all imagination and it all feels more natural.
It takes longer than that for the physical rewards to set in.
90 days up to 150 even for the brain to rewire itself, if you're constantly exposed to seduction.
I'm on day 155, all the physical benefits happened. Especially the free gains.
> fucked up porn industry has found it's way into your reptile brain so well that it has become as addictive as smoking or heroin. Rid your mind of lusting for porn, rewire your brain so you lust for a woman.
I noticed that when I stopped watching porn. I was attracted to girls which I would have hated if I was watching porn during that period because whenever I saw a girl my brain would just start comparing it to some plastic bimbo.
NoFap is easy as fuck for me. however wet dreams are annoying as shit. i barely sleep and waking up feeling like i've pissed myself and having to change my boxers doesn't help. if i didn't get wet dreams i could do it forever.
>Without someway to release I'm sure I'd be a murderer of some sort.
Yup. It's really weird. I found myself staring at women more than I normally would.
it's an exercise in control and self discipline. You outed yourself as a fat self indulgent burger with your post
15 days is not a lot. Although I know someone who says he doesn’t have to fap everyday yet he can’t control himself and can only go max 2 days.
No fap ever and I’m 23 with a gf. Blue balls suck but usually you’ll have a nocturnal emission which will do the job.
Get on my level bitch
Absolute chad, and checked.
Go forth and be the next Genghis, brother
Even with a qt gf I have the urge sometimes.
>See tits
>goddamnit
You get fucking wet dreams!?
I'm on day 13 and I'm not really noticing anything.
It just means you're attracted and want some connection. Just go out there and make some girls to be your friend. Don't fall in love with those, they serve as a learning ground. If they like you, they'll introduce you to women and you can actually get in without being a pathetic orbiter
What the fuck
No fap is sub zero iq destroy your test levels and develop prostate cancer. No porn is worthwhile though jerking off is fine just don't jerk off to what the likes want you conditioned to.
Post nut clarity is way more of a super power than any no fap bullshit
i did sex my gf three times now
You are right. When I decided that I wanted to feel good and rub one out, I decided to do it by listening to audio porn (GoneWildAudio). I thought "at least I'm not watching porn. It isn't that bad" and then yesterday (day after my relapse) I got off to a porn clip because of the ads on GWA and that's how I got sucked in again.
I guess I should start NoFap once again and this time even cut off GWA if I'm tempted.
fair middle way this. All depends on how hard it is to get the real deal.
>feels sad
>rubs one out
>it's good
garbage.
You don't feel like a jerkoff at all when you masturbate?
It's so pathetic.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not some kind of porn or masturbation addict. I also find NoFap pretty easy but whenever I go on NoFap or some SR forums it's just too much. People talk as if they are conquering the world or they are constantly happy or something like that. That is why I am skeptical and made this thread. I'm started NoFap again and let's see :)
You can wank and then eat your semen. Thus semen retention is intact. This is a double win.
Not going to lie but I was confident and would have approached that girl in the reading area but I had to fill out and submit my exam form that day and that girl was already with other guys talking and having a good time (also she was from another branch).
Whatever......maybe next time :)
lol
>You don't feel like a jerkoff at all when you masturbate?
I used to feel bad when I was doing it daily. Now that I rubbed one out after 15 days that feeling was gone.
i think you should start with just controlling yourself when you see pics and similar and you are tempted by them even in here. i did it the way i released the urge only visually pleasing my brain with animated pics not real life ones. i never touched myself while looking at them. if you have urge try to exercise first. and in worst case scenario masturbate without looking at pics. you will see that you cant cum so easy and then you will realize where the issue is. and if you can try not to cum, and just stop. and do some pushups. later after month it will be easier and you will lose even urge to look at porn if you are lucky. i stopped looking at pics at 60 days. now currently 60 days with only porn i see is bait pics here on Jow Forums
That's the last stage.
This. You start understanding the natural desire to breed so much better. Nofap got me in shape and got me to clean up my look, etc.
i think they are just making it look better because they are happy they are finally free. for them it might feel like it because it was way worse for them before. it is not as good as they say for me but i would not want to go back ever. for sure.
This time I will do that. No more GWA even if I am tempted. On day 8 I started noticing that sexy pictures/videos are everywhere. Jow Forums is really tricky. I like to check out what's happening here but usually there are sexy pics in every thread. As you said I have to control myself and not click on the picture or videos which are sexy.
>Was that a phase that I need to get over with or is it all just a meme?
Would you have felt good if you didn't have the pre knowledge of 6 gorillion redditors telling you that no fap will turn you into a handsome Aryan billionaire god? Placebo is a very real thing, especially when it comes to how you "feel". To me, no fap is just another variation of the get rich quick scheme.
>can't get chicks?
>too lazy to exercise or get a job?
>hey dummy, all you have to do is stop jacking off
>that's right, its that easy! By sitting there and doing literally nothing, you will gain everything and fix all your problems!
If getting rid of your imaginary mental block of "evil porn" is what lets you go forward in life, then whatever, but I think its a bunch of bro science bullshit.
Ive failed millions of times, the guilt, harassment, the failure, hell, finally got to me..
Changed my life went to confession, told god i'll be good boy, haven't masterbated since..
Truth is im dying, i'm a 28years old scrawny man, with no energy or desire for marriage, i give no shits about living, live with parents, harassed daily, called loser daily, i fear other people, i spent all day playing 1game because im to poor and lazy to buy new one, i hate other people and feel no connection and when i do it's lustful, i go outside only after midnight, and it feels like i'm dying everyday, and heaven or hell's approaches.
not masterbatings one of the few things i rejoice in, that i accomplish, that and video games, point is, you're not gonna stop masterbating unless there's a reason, that you truly believe is true that stops you from masterbating.
Makes sense. I would also not like to go back to my mindless porn watching sessions.
Pretty much OP. No fap is just about giving yourself a sense of control over your life, it doesn't actually give you magic powers.
Take off your flag cunt.
Semen retention has incredible effects, but physical ones such as increased energy start appearing after long time. First you start having better mood, at 90 days your brain gets rewired and you have a better grip on your sexual instincts.
t. ~200+ days, semen retention even during sex
Its really simple.
Nobody is gonna stop it cold turkey and there is no reason to.
If you are doing it too often set realistic goals for yourself to cut yourself back to something like once every 2 days, once every 3 days.
If you are jacking off to the shit jews push on you that is the real problem, you will have to remind yourself everytime before you start to search for normal shit.
Female-solo ofcourse being the least harmful genre there is.
just get a hobby dude wtf
exactly.
>making excuses to anonymous people on the internet
user, I.
Just fucking do it. It takes all but 2 minutes.
Nofap is jewish attempt to make men sexually frustrated. As a bonus it increases prostate cancer risk.
Enjoy.
Would you have felt good if you didn't have the pre knowledge of 6 gorillion redditors telling you that no fap will turn you into a handsome Aryan billionaire god?
You are right. There is a lot of information out there that tells you how you should be feeling after doing/making something. It's just information overload.
Getting up in the morning was easy and felt more fresh that I would normally feel. I found myself staring at girls more than I used to. That's all I felt physically.
Ps. when you have cut back to your once every few days fap to vanilla stuff the final push will be made when you get a GF.
Literally what fucking single guy without a GF never jacks off.
Bunch of fucking pussies ITT that like to blame jerking off for all their problems thats who.
>increases prostate cancer
you know what else does as well?
getting fucked in the ass
Prostate health is a meme
What are the effects of semen retention that you are experiencing?
Also, WTF?
>t. ~200+ days, semen retention even during sex
How do you hold it back during sex? Is that even safe to do?
>Prostate health is a meme
Really? Any sources will be appreciated?
>"A 2008 study found that frequent masturbation was only linked with a decreased risk of prostate cancer in men over 50. Researchers in this study found that men in their 20s and 30s who ejaculated more often were actually at an increased risk of prostate cancer."
i make it a point to emit as much semen as possible
What I always wonder is if you get a vasectomy, do you automatically become nofap while still being able to fap? This is the only question.
Increased energy and motivation. Better skin, I used to have boys of acne. Easy to concentrate. Stopped viewing women as purely sexual objects, it's more like looking at beautiful paintings now. I'm not horny unless I'm in an intimate situation. Feel no need to stare at women in public.
>How do you hold it back during sex?
Normally, I just have sex and when I feel like I'm getting close to cumming I stop for a sec. I can last quite long but that might be because my dick has been Jewed. The most difficult part was explaining to my girlfriend why I don't want to cum and reassuring her that I do find her attractive
at least 90 days
probably 180+ for the average poster, considering the decade of online mental molestation
just have sex.
>15 days nofap
nigger, that's like starting a diet and getting pissed you haven't lost 50 lbs in two days
Don't know about that lol
I would also like to hear about that.
i forgot to add : those animated pictures i used as substitute for porn none of them were with explicit sex or fully naked. (only stuff i found myself to be attracted to just soft lewd stuff) i think this is important to mention
If you get a vasectomy you instantly go into low testosterone mode.
It wouldn't be like nofap, it would be like being a girl.
>I'm not horny unless I'm in an intimate situation. Feel no need to stare at women in public.
That's really interesting. I found myself staring at women more than I usually do. Maybe it's because I don't have a gf.
Explaining that to your gf might have been really awkward. Does she break your balls when you are hanging out with your friends about SR?
No pun intended ;)
>Apart from difficulty in sleeping.
Christ, I'm on day four and I've only gotten 6 hours of sleep. I had to give in because my mind is super fried from the lack of sleep. No amount of sleep aids helped or kept me asleep either.
>I found myself staring at girls more than I used to
Right, that's the only real physical effect, feeling more horny. Of course this basic urge, if you let it build up, will cause you to act differently than you normally do. That's its entire purpose in the first place. I think people that believe in this stuff have jerked off regularly to the point that they forgot what it feels like to be horny, so when they force themselves to experience it again, it feels so alien that its like magic to them. Of course they forget about the downsides of being too horny, namely how it can cloud your thoughts (trying to do calculus but cant stop thinking of a thicc booty) or make you very risk seeking or aggressive.
All in all, I think people that subscribe to this just want an easy to take down straw man that they can pin all their life's problems on. Its nice to think that if they can just accomplish this one easy task (not touching their dicks) that all their problems will be solved. Much nicer to attempt than having to try and conquer the real root of their issues like laziness, bad self esteem, bad genetics, etc. Some of their problems, like the bad genetics, can't even be solved no matter what they do; that's a big no no bad thought for people trying to avoid reality.
Thanks for adding that. With me I think GWA is a slippery slope. I start listening to the audios and next thing you know I am watching porn clips the next day.
I really enjoy listening to GWAs but maybe for the time being I guess I have to stop listening to them as well if I have do SR and NoFap.
>for 15
>days
you're like a lazy spoiled kid
>They suggest that young men genetically predisposed to have hormone-sensitive prostate cancer will be at higher risk if their bodies naturally produce high levels of male hormones -- the same hormones that give them an intense sex drive.
>So it's not masturbation itself that's increasing prostate cancer risk in young men. More masturbation may just mean more sex drive -- and more androgens bathing prostate tissues.

>No amount of sleep aids helped or kept me asleep either.
Try turning the temperature down while sleeping. I used to turn down the AC really down and it would help me to get to sleep in no time.
I'm looking at women more as well, but unlike in the past, I'm not turned on by them and can keep looking at them when they return the favour.
Tried it, sadly it didn't help.
So it's their way of escaping reality.... interesting. I think I would be doing this NoFap for next few months and see for myself what it really does to a person.
Thanks.
Yeah, you'll go through the staring phase, but then the non-sexualized view is going to take over. Like I mentioned before, seeing a beautiful girl feels like seeing an amazing painting. You're still mesmerized, but you don't immediately think about sticking your dick inside. Idk, it feels "cleaner" and better.
Nah, she never mentions it and doesn't mind anymore. My closest friends know about the fact I do SR, two of them are on nofap.
Sad.
They say that feeling goes after few weeks...so till then hang in there and squirm like a worm while sleeping.
i am not bullshitting here but you had a blocked lower chakra meaning your body is not used to you having this much sexual energy so it was bottlenecking there, thats where intermit fasting meditation and yoga go into play.
I have the same problem. I went no fap for a month and got brutal insomnia. I'm agitated, irritable, exhausted. I lay down and my brain refuses to turn off. The whole reason behind nofap is to not waste energy, but if you're trying to sleep getting rid of your energy is exactly what you want. And I've tied going for a run at midnight to get tired, it doesn't really work.
I've been 30 days noporn, I haven't really felt any difference, but then again I only watch first person and interactive stuff, so I've not been wiring my brain for cuckholding anyways.
I've tried this as well, doesn't work.
what like thats my quote? you are very rude
Faggots need to just stop batin’ and become real men.
WWHD?
It works, but the first month is hard as your body and mind need to readjust to the situation.
Sounds good. I am starting NoFap and SR again, this time I won't be listening to GWA anymore while I'm on NoFap and SR. It's just a slippery slope from there.
correlation =/= causation
also, claiming that prostate health is meme is flat out retarded. it's the most common form of cancer among men and can often be fatal.
Explain like I am retarded. What do you mean by I blocked my chakra? I was jerking off daily or sometimes 3 times in a week. That's it.
GWA? Anyway the best advice I can give you is to jump out of bed as soon as you wake up. Early in the morning and late at night are the worst during the first 90 days.
>it's the most common form of cancer among men
Yes that is true but is primarily found in homosexual men as well as faux German faggots who build clocks in the wintertime
>GWA
Good taste, but yes nofap is worth giving it up.
yea, the jews that control the porn industry want men to stop watching their videos, getting back their motivation and improving themselves
yep
I'm sorry but why did you post of picture of yourself?
>GWA?
Gone Wild Audio. It's like porn for blind people. You put your headphones on, close your eyes, lay back, relax and masturbate. I used to skip the masturbation part. I would just lay back, listen to it, feel excited and used to enjoy.
For me afternoon/evening time is the problem. As of now I am having preparation leave for exam so I am at home and during the afternoon after lunch I get tempted to jerk off.
Will overcome that. Thanks.
