Is no fap actually beneficial? I'm trying to improve myself

I see no difference except for the blue balls

Is butter beneficial?
Is mountain climbing beneficial?

You need to state what you want to achieve, Flatlander.

I have a habit of putting others before me, and after being rejected for the first time, I'd like to make myself the most important person in my world. I want to stop all the anxiety I get.

read 'no more mr nice guy'

I think there's reason to trust that it helps some people. I'm not sold on the idea that the effect is anything more than placebo.

Part of my doubt comes from how often people think they understand more than they do. For example, I'm sure someone reading this is thinking "Obviously the effect comes from increased serum testosterone levels." There's a reason why that doesn't sell me on a conclusion and that reason obviously isn't ignorance of the scientific study data. But if the people who espouse no fap are that quick to jump the gun against doubters, I can only wonder what other pre-conceived conclusions they're jumping to about its efficacy.

My advice is to be as good a person as you know how to be, with "good" also being what you know it to be. Live up to what you know. I suspect that'll have much more benefit than no fap ever will.

just stop watching porn. Get a fleshlight even, porn is the issue.

This helps quite a bit, thanks.

Practicing self discipline is beneficial. Since fapping is one thing that causes a hard urge more than many other things, mastery over that can work wonders for confidence and self esteem.

Increases testosterone, makes you more aware of women and helps relieve porn conditioning.

Thought i would post this here rather then make a new thread,
so i've been playing cock hero lately, the game where you jerk off to the beat or whatever, will this make me last longer when i fuck a chick or am i jerking off for 15+ mins for nothing.

>>16476259
this, there's not much convincing evidence about it, but hey, there's nothing to loose and at least fapping is so musch nicer when you haven't done it in a while so why not try cutting down a bit?
deathgrip is really a thing, it really sucks I can't seem to cum when fucking so that sucks.

pronless might be a thing to try as well, irl sex and even irl bdsm is just so different.

Honestly? Only stop masturbating if you've got a woman to blow your load in on a regular basis. The only time I've ever seen masturbation as being 'bad' is over a long period of time it makes me blow my load quicker. So when I'm pounding the fiance, it can be pretty quick. If you stop masturbating though, it helps.

If you're single, there isn't a god damn thing wrong with blowing your load a few times a day.

It literally does nothing but make your nuts fill up. I tried it for 3 weeks just to see what it's about.

-my sex drive actually got lower (no desire to fap, look at porn, or talk to girls)
-I didn't feel more "amped" or energized
-my depression got noticeably worse
-my nuts always felt so uncomfortable from being full

Literally no benefit. And when I finally did fap to clean out my nuts, it was the weakest, most pathetic orgasm I've ever had. A TON of cum came out, but I didn't get a rush of dopamine or anything. It literally just weakly drained out. It took me a week of fapping to actually feel the pleasure again.

You did it wrong.

OP, No Fap works best in ~7 day increments.

Your sex drive, as well as test levels, will gradually increase over the course of 5-7 days. On the last day, they will peak, and drop off in very steep fashion.

Try for 7 day increments, and bust a huge nut on like a Saturday, or something.

Dude you replied to here

I've also gone within that window. If I miss one or two days of fapping my sex drive plummets into the abyss.

>jerking off for 15+ mins
Pleb. I jerk off for three hours at a time.

>>16476535
looking for /adv/ on this guys.

>>16476671
That wasn't an answer for 1
and for 2, wtf how can you dedicate that much time
and 3, how do i last longer then.

>>16476692
It's probably too late for you. I started when I was 12. I quickly discovered that after climax the fun is over, so I started trying to last as long as I possibly could. I'm trying to quit totally, though. It's a huge waste of time, and sometimes my dick is really sore afterwards. I'm also worried that I'm giving myself ED.

>>16476535
just fapping alone was sufficient for me to last indefinitely

actually had to cut down on the fap to be able to cum at all during intercourse

ABOUT NOFAP

>ABOUT NOFAP

This is interesting. I was the guy above who said I experience a decrease in drive when I go a few days without fapping. And overall I already have a low drive. I've turned down the last 2 opportunities for sex I've had available and sex isn't something I get often.. I just don't care much anymore. Could this be permanent? And how does it permanently destroy your drive?

>>16476860
I'm a virgin and I hardly want sex, just for the social stigma and pass down the genes desu.

>>16476849
