Tell me please anyone who is familiar with this concept, is this bullshit or not. Because to be honest, I can't really believe in these "success stories". I've recenty read this book about porn by Gary Wilson. Seriously, how is this book supposed to be "scientific research", it's like 90% of its content consists of reddit posts. And almost EVERY post out there and on NoFap.com forum is quite the same: "blah blah, I was a hikki/basement dweller/hermit, virgin (or had girlfriend - not really my case) had no friends, did 100 days - and now I have made few friends, I meet girls and feel great".

Now I admit I do have a strong porn addiction. I waste a lot of time thanks to this, and I also admit it would be great if I'll manage to overcome it some day. Yet I can't force myself to believe this bullshit success stories. I mean for instance, if you don't have enough social skills to even introduce yourself properly, how the hell stopping jerking off would help to gain some?

Can someone convince me that I'm wrong and still should try rebooting?

when you masturbate, what do you think of yourself?
is what you're doing really okay for you?
once you have your answer you know what to do

nofap only works because it takes away the reward for doing nothing

you're basically trying to trick your body into realizing that the current behavior you're having is no longer giving you the positive results.

the same could arguably be achieved by cutting out junk food entirely

it isn't some magic thing that boosts your other senses and personality, you're just reconditioning yourself. it isn't going to fix any real internal problems.

Instead of sitting in the basement masturbating go out and talk to people

The reason people act like nofap is a life changing experience isn't so much to do with fapping as it is to do with the feeling of accomplishment from overcoming an addiction and maybe even replacing it with something more useful.

There are benefits to not fapping but it'll vary. For me I feel like I have a tad more energy. That and I'm not horny all the time so my brain doesn't jump to dirty thoughts when I see an even remotely attractive women.

If you're gonna do this do it properly. By that I mean 90 days without porn. If that's too much a commitment then you can try a smaller number but you should try to go an extended period of time so you can observe (if) your body changes for the better.

This. It also get's your motivation up since the only way you can cum is if you're fucking a girl.

No fap works about as well as shoving healing crystals up your ass will.

Realize wanking isn't a hobby and then get a full-time job. Problem solved.

The reason it sounds like pseudo-scientific alternative medicine bullshit is because it is. Why do people think drinking negligible amounts of caffeine will put them to sleep? I don't fucking know. They are retarded and so are the no-fap crowd.

I started nofap 90 days ago, but gave up on not fapping after 40 days. I still don't watch porn and want to keep it that way. Before it, i was having a cheeky wank 3 times a day to porn, now its every 2nd or 3rd day without porn. Also, I started seeing girls as attractive i see every day, before I just didn't care about real girls that much. It helps when talking to them. But imo, most of this is because I stopped watching porn.

>That and I'm not horny all the time so my brain doesn't jump to dirty thoughts when I see an even remotely attractive women.

From what I've read (not OP though, I'm only superficially familiar with the subject) this can supposedly go either way. I mean, don't a lot of the testimonials go in the direction, that you should become hornier without porn since "normal" women start doing something for you again?

This sounds ridiculous.

If your priorities are to masturbate then give it a rest. If you are incapable of "taking it easy" then stop for awhile.

What about NoPick for losers who obsessively pick their boogers.

>>17255166
Ehh you're right it could go either way.

I feel it depends on how mong you've been doing it for. Early on sure you'll have those thoughts all the time especially if you're used to fapping a lot. But after a while you're body may "reset" so to speak as if you hadn't started fapping to begin with.

I reckon it depends on how often you look at porn as well. I advise if you're curious to give it a shot for a little while. See how it is for you. If you see no difference kl no problem. On the off hand that you see some improvement you may find yourself better off not fapping. Key but is for you to try it without listening to the circlejerk of "nofap changed my life" that many people run with.

NoFap is for treating severe masturbation and/or porn addiction, not helping you get laid. Sex and fapping is same shit, you have to break your addiction to sexual release altogether. Cumming feels like shit afterward, and its something that should only happen involuntarily in your sleep or when actually intending to procreate.

Thank you, Pope Francis.

How about ya try it for a few weeks how they say you should and see if it works for you. What do you have to lose? Either you gain something positive from it or you just get really horny. You won't know until you try.

Pro tip: it works.
