NoFap

I used to believe that this whole thing was a complete lie. I told myself that jerking it once or twice a week did nothing. "It's normal, right?" My social skills were decent at best, and I could barely make eye contact with the girls I was even friends with. My lifts felt weak for a few days after jerking it, but I didn't think anything of it.

However, I decided to give it a try. Right now I'm only at 21 days, but holy shit everything feels different.

Social interactions feel much more natural and comfortable, and I'm much more confident in my appearance. I don't have the overarching 'foggy' feeling. Girls started talking to me, something that I had heard from other advocates of nofap but thought was bullshit. I have a hookup set for the near future. I hit my deadlift max for reps, felt like paper.

Literately everything about life feels better. I thought it was complete bullshit before time. I couldn't imagine it could have this much of an impact. It is worth it.

t. read the pic and nothing else

you can't prove it isn't placebo and/or you are making unexistent connections between nofap and the improvements
anyway, good for you

>nearly a month in
>still lazy
>still unconfident
>still undisciplined
>still on this site all day
>can't even jerk off anymore

nofap is great but it shouldn't be the one and only change you make, either. It's good to go days without any Jow Forums usage as much as I love you assholes. Just make that your goal for the day, and if you find yourself autopiloting a Jow Forums tab open, immediately close it.

I can't even imagine how much of a faggot you have to be to get more confident with yourself for not touching your wee-wee.

Haha why bother trying right?

J/k fuck off kike

Now you see its fucking real, and you see the bucket crabs coming to pull you right back down.

the amount of benefits you receive from nofap is directly related to the to the amount of problems you have from fapping.

I love no fap but I’ve been doing jelqing recently which usually leads to jerking off

I think it's more of a chemical/subconscious thing. He's not thinking to himself "wow, i'm so awesome because I haven't beaten my dick in a while"

Jews think playing dumb is an effective argument.

At least you have more free time now.

Brainlet said tldr at 50 words

I used to think it was a complete lie, and I still do, too.
Just went out today after jerking it and was fine.
If fapping affects you then you need to increase your test levels, not stop fapping.

No other thread, except maybe fasting threads, glow as hard as nofap threads. I think we are onto something boys, do not submit.

defiantly true, just 1 day (24 hours) of nofap, you are almost guaranteed an interaction (good or bad but its better than nothing) with a women.

entire thread is cringe but im laughing
sage

The only way its working for me its not stopping, but slowly decreasing
1x day for 2 weeks
1x every other day for 2 weeks
1x every 2 days for 2 weeks
Once a week

It's not really the fap, but the porn that gets you.
I used to be drawn to really decadent porn and basically stopped feeling attracted to real people, until I did no fap.
I am slowly getting cleansed, and I have started to get more grounded into reality.

Will never work. You're and addict. An alcoholic cannot drink socially. All the paths in your brain have already been formed, you either stop forever or keep those paths the way they are.
Its ike you are a ball on the top of a mountain. You either stay there, or you violently reach the ground. There is no way to climb down a little.

But yeah, keep trying to make this shit work, you will fail so much that eventually you will learn.

He will stop it
I think what he said is that instead of going cold turkey, he will lay off little by little to avoid relapses and binges

You watch porn because it's all created and owned by (((the enemies of the west))).

I want to teach all of you how to hurt (((them))).

●Start by fucking (((Wallstreet.))) 99% of mutual funds fail to beat the market average, and they charge you outrageous fees for inferior performance. They're literally fucking worthless:
anecdotepodcast.podbean.com/e/i-want-to-invest-but-where-do-i-start/

●Bonds are pointless until you're close to retirement. Just another way (((they))) rip you off, if you have a 401k you're probably buying them for no reason:
anecdotepodcast.podbean.com/e/bonds-index-bonds/

●Next, close your (((bank))) account and join a credit union.

●Never give money to Ben & Jerry's, Dell, Dunkin Donuts, Facebook, H&R block, Intel, Pampers, SodaStream, Snapple, Starbucks, Victoria's Secret, Vodka Perfect, or Uzi.

●Next, science shows you can buy happiness, just don't buy all the shit (((advertisers))) wants you to buy:

This. The connections OP is making are total nonsense. It's at least 95% placebo

I would agree that hardcore porn should probably be avoided.
Softcore doesn't affect me that bad, I can jerk off to a naked girl by herself and be fine.
When it gets into videos of masturbation it starts to get into the territory of too much dopamine.

semen is the life force of males.
since we spill it so often it's one of the many reasons we live shorter lives than women.

Can relate, started doing nofap, hit a few week and two week length sessions then decided noporn was the way forward and to not take it too seriously.

Dunno why if it's placebo or whatnot, but def helped in various little subtle ways. Best of which was compelling me to get off my arse and meet someone. It went well and my life is going infinitely better now. Would recommend. You need to get off your backside and do stuff though!

a bunch of garbage except rarbg, what a great site

>it's the early twenties enlightenment episode

You know that this is a normal part of development and most everyone has it?
The thing that's embarrasing is that you seriously get it from figuring out something about masturbation and not something that's actually useful..

IDK I just blew a load and it felt great.
I feel great too.

You would do it once or twice a week and you think you had a problem? Lol.

I did nofap for 90 days and I was still depressed

I refuse to believe a depressed person had enough self motivation and drive to make it 90 days without porn and fapping.

It genuinely seems like the people who say “I went 1 week/3 months/1 year” are literally trolling. I feel a MASSIVE difference on a week of nofap alone. I wake up with more energy despite less sleep. I walk with more confidence. Being social is 10x easier. And ALL my lifts go up.

I meant to say:
It genuinely seems like the people who say “I went 1 week/3 months/1 year and felt no difference” are literally trolling.

I think alot of people go into it expecting a clear cut euphoria after 24 hours or something

this, it will depend on so many things, how long you've been jacking for, how often, etc.
don't knock it without trying, and don't give up guys

Before i started nofap/ when i heard about it, it seemed like the most utter bullshit i've ever read about. Like i couldn't fathom why anyone would do this, granted: there's alot of pseudo-science involved, and people sayig their T increases.without ever decreasing, it just goes up and up..so that's probably why i thought so lowly of it. (Fucking reddittors)

But somehow along the line i got curious. I guess you can't judge a book by its cover. Day 15 now. First attempt was 22 days.

Maybe someone can state this more eloquently than I can, in a way that it doesnt sound so creepy. But after 10 days or so and then especially after 3 weeks I remember looking at pretty girls. Instead of skittishly darting my eyes away from her when making eye contact I would feel empowered to meet their gaze rather than look away shamefully.

Mr Goldstein's shills are out in full force today. Why else would you want to come in to literally every single thread and shit on the hundreds of thousands of people that actually feel a shitton bette? Either shills or just an extreme case of crab mentality.

Nofap is most likely heavily reliant on placebo effect.

Based and true. I'm struggling with this. All my porn relapses come from when I fap.

"I'll fap, it's been a week or two already"->
"I guess if I'm going to fap, I can browse instagram a bit"->
"I guess if I have fapped, I can fap again watching a topless babe"->
"I guess softcore porn is alright"->
"I guess this related video that appears should be fine" ->
Fapping to some disgusting shit 30 min later, and not even cumming to it because I actually don't like it although it makes me aroused.

hey crabbo

My balls hurt, can i end this streak already?

>Intel

Nice try AMD shill

I agree with the last three points but why should I trust some random podcast which noone listens to?

Its placebo effect mate. Pretty much would have got the same effect if you wore a power band around your arms for 21 days.

Also, most nofappers don't even end up getting laid more or getting a gf. They just fail and make a shitty post I failed on 30 day of nofap.

Nofappers are worse than incels.

>He thinks no fappers are not in relationships
>Assumes people no fap to get laid

Nofap makes me impotent.

Give him a break, his brain is fried by all le incel memes he sees on the internet.

Placebo. Just don't jerk off every day.

this desu

its just placeboo retards!!!!!! just jerk off sometimes its much better I do it too and evronye!!!

No you can't, keep going. Your balls will be fine.

Priding yourself in your scientific and rational understanding of the world while being simultaneously ignorant of any scientific basis of the thing you're judging is what leads to the Redditors in here screaming "placebo".

No fap might have many benefits of which we have no causal explanations yet, or it might not. But at the very least we know of inhibitory and self control from psychology and self denial trains both, leading to a multitude of beneficial outcomes. Especially when it comes to hedonistic adaptions you quite simply are able to enjoy life in general more fully when you remove the sensations that you've grown accustomed to.

im a week into nofap right now and holy shit im so fucking horny
how do i stop myself?

Cold shower, talking some sense to yourself, clean, read a book, go outside and do groceries or visit friends. The point is to turn the energy from that horniness into an activity that builds structure in your life.

You have already done it for 1 week. Just add 1 more each time until weeks become months.

the thing is im currently at home working on a deadline that is due tonight so i cant really do any of those things. the horniness is also preventing me from focusing in my work as well because all i think about is busting a huge nut.

>all i think about is busting a huge nut
that's the addict in you talking user. ignore the bastard like there's no tomorrow. of course it wouldn't be that easy, nofap takes streght to do

dare i say, BASED AND REDPILLEd, GOOD SIR

Its addicts that dont want to stop masturbating so they try to pretend there is no benefit in doing so.
Druggies and smokers do the exact same thing, they try to find reasons not to quit.

Lads, I'm on a seven day streak (first time I've consciously tried nofap) and probably the longest I've gone in at least two years.

I'm noticing some improved energy and clarity of thought, but past 48 hours, the urge to crank one out has been pretty damn high.

I'm sure I can push through, but is it worth it if I just spend the next few days constantly obsessing about it? Do the benefits keep accumulating? Would one wank erase the whole week of accumulated benefit?

I've been trying noporn for a few months because I realized that the porn industry is filled with members of a certain international clique whose main goal is to subvert individual freedom and human dignity.
But I've been nofap for three weeks and I am more productive and happy. My mind is not filled with lewd thoughts about thots any more. But I find myself getting slightly aroused at any contact with eligible girls my age. Normal girls look better to me too. I don't find myself criticizing them internally like i used to.
Give up porn. That is the most important thing.
Fapping is optional. And I can't say I won't ever do it again. But I feel more confident now.

That hurts your gains, stop it.

>the horniness is also preventing me from focusing in my work
deadlines are important. but keeping commitments to yourself is just as important. Get off Jow Forums. Get to work. And stop being a bitch.
Every time you back out of a personal commitment, you make it that much easier to give up the next time. Draw a line in the sand.

If you really can't handle it, just give up since it's your first attempt, but the next day you must aim to go even further than that one week streak.

My first time was 22 days, now aiming for 30 ( currently at 15)

That's what I'm thinking. Just go for two weeks next time no matter what...but I also know that's the inner bitch trying to rationalise.

When you relapsed after 22 days, did it feel like you went back to Day 0 or was it more like going back to Day 15 or something like that?

Well the first time i didn't make a big deal out of it, so the change for relapse was slim, i didn't even fap because i wanted to look at porn, but was still a bit skeptical about jeeping old sperm in my ball sack. So i'm not a good reference point on that note.

Just don't let yourself get depressed no matter what if you do fap. Don't think: i'll just fap for a few more days till i start.my nofap. The effects of nofap already begin again after a couple days. Cling to that feeling once you start over again.

ditch porn, fap on brain material

Yeah, I'm not gonna kill myself one way or the other. Just a little curious what I may stand to gain/lose from pushing on/relapsing based on other people's experience. The first week has been a small eye opener.

Even just taking that step back now and observing the compulsion the way one would when they are meditating and observing their thoughts is both helping me cope and also showing me how powerful the urge is. Kind of a trip.

Day 31 here
I think I reached flat line phase. Will it get better?

Attached: 1559103342702.jpg (727x868, 237K)

n1

Just a thought here, but I thought I'd share it.

What if the people who fap constantly and who actually feel better when they stop is because their true personality can't come out with the hormonal imbalances present with constant masturbation, and the people who don't feel any better have already reached the peak of their ability and are just salty they can't improve with something so simple? I bet you those very same people who claim nofap does nothing for them also go around shitting on people in other threads meant for self-improvement. You're either stuck or you've already made it and can't understand that other people might benefit.

Attached: 1467849552525.png (255x256, 113K)

Yes, depends on how long you've been jerking off.

It's almost totally dependent on your mindset, outside of porn that is.

If you guilt yourself thinking fapping itself is evil, then you will feel like shit in the back of your mind until whenever you feel you're back on track.

If you see it as a minor set back in your quest for self-discipline, then you'll be more mentally healthy doing nofap.

But user, it wasn't the nofap, it was you, you had the power the whole time you just to believe in yourself

daily for 10 years

There’s different levels of addiction
If you’re getting through it easily and not feeling much changes, it probably means that you weren’t really addicted. Frequency of masturbation doesn’t tell the whole tale of addiction mind you. In my mind the porn addicts are the ones who are into the most degenerate shit who can’t stop thinking about when they’ll get their next fix, always needing something bigger and nastier to do it. Just like drug addicts. If you fap to the same vanilla shit once a day you’re already moderating, and you don’t put the activity nearly as high on the pedestal as the former.

your big nose is showing you demon

you do nofap to honor Gods commandments, not to get some mystical superpower

26 days in and im flat lining aswell

I'm starting day 1 nofap, lifting, meditation, yoga, baking, and coding today. Wish me luck bros and I wish you luck on your self improvement journey.
