It's a meme. People who nofap see "results" because they also start exercising and dieting.

Nofap is a meme but if you're fapping more than once a day you have a problem.

Thats because people who do no fap suddenly find themselves with more energy and time.

You don't even realize how big of a problem it can be for some people. I masturbate 3-4 times a day. I'm in a constant state of lethargy. I'll sometimes masturbate in the afternoon and end up taking a 5 hour nap by accident. I spend around 2-3 hours a day fapping. Thats a large portion of my day if you also count the after glow lethargy in which i just want to take a nap.

So no fap does work. It suddenly gives you more energy and more free time. Whenever I start no fap I get extremely anxious for not doing anything as opposed to feeling like not doing anything.

nofap is a meme. noporn is not a meme. people tend to either exaggerate or downplay the effects of both. fapping is probably only bad if you are doing it obsessively or compulsively. If it interferes with your life then i'd say you have a problem. abstaining completely is obsessive and counterproductive, and maybe even unhealthy. The superior option is to limit how often you jerk off. This is better for mental health and it also is just more enjoyable if you dont overdo it.

Porn however does have some insidious consequences and you should really never watch it, or only very rarely. The effects are subtle, and largely subconscious, but they are there. Sexual energy is a huge part of motivation and drive, its important to learn to manage that wisely. Like most things moderation is key, avoid extreme excess

>I masturbate 3-4 times a day
HOW?! After just one fap, not even the most fucked up of fetishes can get me hard for the rest of the day.

Idk I haven't jerked off in a couple week's and I've noticed that I'm more confident and social. Besides that I'm still unmotivated and lazy maybe it takes some months for that to go away tho.

Same here. I think nofap doesn't work for me personally, because I'm not even able to masturbate multiple times a day for several hours.

Are you circumcised? I can't get hard that much but I can cum over two dozen times a single fap session with minute long breaks in between each orgasm. Usually I do it by pulling on my forskin but the downside is that I can't get hard for a couple day's afterwards

You just have a low sex drive or not a teenager anymore. When I was 20 I used to wank it up to 10 times a day until I was shooting blanks. Being a virgin makes you have these crazy thoughts of how good sex must feel like, until you actually have sex and realize how pathetic it really is. So then it just kills the fantasy you had before, thus masturbating less.

>I haven't jerked off in a couple week's and I've noticed that I'm more confident and social.
So it does work, right?
How many times per week is the optimum amount?

The idea of no fap is to meet women.

>Thats because people who do no fap suddenly find themselves with more energy and time.

i didn't notice that at all and i did it for a month

>It suddenly gives you more energy and more free time.
it didn't give me more energy. also, the time was negligible. i was NEET when i did it, and so it was an extra 20 minutes per day. really not anything significant

>Whenever I start no fap I get extremely anxious for not doing anything as opposed to feeling like not doing anything.
when i was doing nofap i couldn't focus on shit

now when i fap i just get those thoughts out of my head and i do something else

It's real if you have a pornography addiction. It's a good building block.

>The idea of no fap is to meet women.
so it's basically bullshit completely then?

fapping doesn't stop me from meeting women

the fact that i have to waste my day wageslaving and i have no hobbies that involve interacting with people does

i went to a bar a few times. there were basically no girls my age. where am i supposed to meet girls if they don't want shit to do with me on tinder?

it's bullshit. it's like selling a placebo pill for 'muscle gain' and say 'you also have to lift weights for it to work' and people say it works, but really all of the effect was lifting weights

It's to motivate you. Motivation doesn't work on lazy incels.

its a meme. just limit yourself to 1 fap every 2-3 days. if you're jerking off 2+ times a day you have problems

>It's to motivate you
why would that motivate me?

>Motivation doesn't work on lazy incels.
i've had sex before, with 3 different girls

it's not that big of a deal

No its not a meme
And porn is addictive and fucks up your mind

>Are you circumcised?
Unfortunately, yes.

>optimal amount
who knows? im not you and youre not me. you should experiment and figure out what works for you. For me once every ~10 days is pretty good. I get a nice boost of confidence and motivation around day 4-7, and after that it fades. if i go longer i just get irritable, frustrated, and feel uncomfortable

if you're an actual porn addict like I am who edges for 3 hours when you fap you will see noticeable benefits. if you're a norman who faps every few days and doesn't edge like an autist for hours probably not as much

meme or not, just try it and see if it helps you in some way.

IMO, it works for some people, but not for others. In the end, even if it's not for you, you might find that you feel better fapping every few days instead of every day.

It's mostly just mindset user. The real monster here is porn not fapping
