Trying to not fap for a week

you are right. But OP didn't ask for improving in life just for getting rid of fapping.

OP didnt explicitly or implicitly ask for no advice nor did OP not ask for relevant posts

What the fuck are you even trying argue for

>loss of prefrontal cortex
I love it when people with no idea about neuroscience spout this kind of shit with such confidence.

Went like 50 days and I went to a Thai massage and she jerked me off
Does this count as losing

? There are plenty of studies that have documented this. I have a background in neuroscience and it doesn't serious neuroscience to realize this. It takes basic knowledge of down regulation

>spout this kind of shit with such confidence.
Have you been outside lately? I'm really surprised how so many people can say things with such confidence while being so fucking wrong. When I ask them how they know.
>I think I heard/read somewhere. I can't remember where/ from whom
This shit makes me so angry.

Literally didnt even post a counter argument or anything. SHIEEEEEEEEET

>he fell for the no fap meme
Yes goyim just repress your sexuality to the point of losing your mind

Both of you are faggots. Instead of nofap just go dickless. I got my dick cut of a while back.

No thank you, I have a sex life

fapping isnt bad, porn is

I had this too at the start of nofap a few years ago, but after each relapse this effect dwindles a bit.

This and It can be if chronic. Some people edge for hours. That plus the dopamine rush is not good.

Depends on a lot of factors like frequency of masturbation, reason for masturbation (low self-esteem), LE DEATHGRIP.

But yeah fair enough fap > porn, but why fap when you get the good stuff, skin < vaginal wall

Leave my board Chad non virgin motjer fucker. Never post or shit up my board again newfag

Yeoooooooo im dying from my lab report you legit made my day

This is pretty weird. I've tried the nofap method multiple times (No pmo or even o) and always failed after 3-4 days. But after failing 4 days ago and started from new I haven't felt any sexual tension in that period. I might actually complete the 7 day streak if I don't screw this up. But the fact it's been 4 days and haven't had any intense sexual thoughts as I've used to is a mystery for me. What is happening to me?

Im sure theres a name to the phenomenon but its basically the idea that failure with intention to change will raise motivation. Thats why most people in sports and in therapy are always reminded failure is just a learning experience that can facilitate success down the line.

I'm on day 4 of no-porn (which has incidentally included me not fapping, that's not on purpose though). I've done it before and yeah, it can be brutal. I got a boner at work yesterday just thinking about a girl, and that hasn't happened to me in a long time. I was standing up and couldn't really tuck my duck in my waistband so I had to do the awkward boner walk to the bathroom to do it.
Agree with this.

lad I haven't had a wank in 2.5 weeks now, I have also not looked at porn for a week. This big thing is that I didn't plan for any of this thus I'm not actively thinking about it. Between work and my parents + sibling always being home (dad is retired, mom works at home) I have not had the house to myself. I refuse to wank while others are home out of fear of getting caught.

get some speed and do a fap marathon.

do it a few times.

you'll be cured from normal fapping because speed fapping is so fucking supirior.

just just have to resist the temptation to get more speed and fap for days.

what's the point of no fap?
i fap when i'm sad or have to shut down the mind for a while

>what's the point of no fap?
nofap is a meme backed by reddit tier broscience, like said, noporn is much better for you
>i fap when i'm sad
ever think that maybe this is not the healthiest way to deal with your sadness?

I kept doing no fap for a week or two until I realised its just a cocktease for me and I enjoy cumming fountains (Like when I came on my chin after 7 days break). I stopped doing no fap, but I stopped watching porn (I jerk off to hentai now, but I cum to imagination, its hard to explain. Like I jerk off to hentai, then I look somewhere to the side and cum to imagination)

keep telling yourself that
fapping is not necessary for men. you are literally spewing your sexual energy away. But that said you don't really need it if all you want out of life is posting on this shitty board full of misery

>she
>thai

my brother caught me last week while I was fucking my homemade fleshlight while watching american dragon r34

when i'm sad i feel nothing and the only things i can use are fap and alcohol

time to go NOFAP

>fapping is not necessary for men
Of course it's not "necessary," but most of what anyone does that isn't eating, sleeping, or pissing/shitting isn't necessary, that's not an argument against doing it.
>you are literally spewing your sexual energy away
This is the broscience part. What is "sexual energy?" Scientifically speaking, what are you talking about when you use that phrase? People spew a bunch of shit about nofap increasing testasterone levels but really all that happens is a slight increase after about a week and then your body naturally rebalances itself. You can read for yourself if you don't trust me (yourbrainonporn.com/book/export/html/148).
This is where I think the problem comes, when you start fapping to cope. I'm just some guy on the internet but I've been there with some alcohol and porn/fapping being the only things keeping me going, and I would recommend trying your hardest for a couple of nights not to give into it. Don't try and avoid the sadness, just sit with it for a couple of days. It's going to suck, but it could help you figure out what you could do to make yourself happier.

It's like that at the start usually, I'm two months in and apart from the odd day of weakness wanking doesn't even cross my mind. To be fair though I don't feel like I have any of the "superpowers" people go on about, I just try to use the time more productively.

>relapsed hard after two weeks and have spent thepast week edging
FUCK

>your body naturally rebalances itself.

so you are shooting yourself in the foot
purposely unbalancing your body, fucking with your brain, deregulating all type of stuff for a little release. and that little release is exactly the reason why people feel depressed all the time. and they fap again to feel good and the cicle continues

stop fapping people. There's a reason j*ws are behind the porn industry

Why are you trying to stop?
Is it harming your life, because i have never even thought of stopping?

I'm sure people were fapping before porn

>b-but people were doing it the past

people did a lot of stupid shit in the past

>people did a lot of stupid shit in the past
well yeah, but you were implying that porn is what causes fapping which doesn't seem right considering that people have been fapping way before porn ever became a thing

i added that as bonus

even without porn, it's the same

did your balls get bigger?

>purposely unbalancing your body
There's no evidence to support that fapping decreases testosterone levels, so no you're no unbalancing anything. The small spike in testosterone after day 7 has no noteworthy effect on behavior/performance. You would know that if you actually read the link I posted.
>and that little release is exactly the reason why people feel depressed all the time. and they fap again to feel good and the cicle continues
You're mixing up the causation. People that have problems with excessive fapping aren't depressed because they're fapping, they're fapping because they're depressed, and they stay depressed because fapping doesn't help with the causes of that depression, it just briefly distracts from it. The problem isn't the fapping, it's external problems that they attempt to cope with through fapping. And like I said, I do consider that a problem, and would advocate for some kind of reduction in fapping for the sake of actually trying to deal with that depression, not for the sake of not fapping in itself.

Everything positive that nofap promises is either inaccurate or the result of a placebo effect. Guys that gain confidence from it gain confidence because they've told themselves they would, in which case, all they really have to do is pull back the curtain and see that they've had all those good qualities in themselves the whole time.

aight then. keep fapping

not my life anyway

nah, my balls feels completely normal
