Does nofap work? Personal stories please

What reason do people not fap for?

>>17461604
Just fap a reasonable amount.

Don't do it out of habit.

>>17461604
I did it for a month. The first week was the most difficult, but sooner or later you pass a point where you don't really think about it anymore. I certainly didn't notice any difference in confidence, and my sexual performance was exactly the same.

That being said, it's nice not to fap, because I always regret it immediately afterward. I'm currently in week two of nofap since I last broke it

Does it work to what? I routinely go on no fap spells because I enjoy knowing I am in control of my bodily urges. The longest I went was a bit over four months. The only real changes were when I finally did do the deed, it was like trying to hold a tree branch in an earthquake, and in the months preceding it, I had some very intense sexual dreams. As far as I could tell, nothing changed physically about me.

Not fapping for a week or something has utility. It's good for making big cums. I was at a point where I would jerk it every day just out of habit. Taking a break every once in a while makes masturbating worth doing again.

I see no point in stopping permanently, I think people who don't jerk off at all are fucking weird, and I sure as hell don't need some gay ass reddit hugbox to stop touching myself.

Just cool it for a week and you'll cum buckets, it's really that simple.

It's a way of learning self control and using your time better. I do it on and off for a month or two at a time. Forgoing porn is much more helpful. If you do kegels while you abstain from fapping/porn your boners get really strong.

PornFree > NoFap

But really, what do you want out of it?

>don't like your fetishes, don't want to escalate
PornFree
>want have harder boners/penile dysfunction
NoFap more than fap
>want a big load
NoFap for a week
>want a short term energy hit
NoNap for a week
>want a long term energy hit
PornFree for a week
>want to be horny
Both for a week

In for a month and my memory and communication skills skyrocketed
Try for yourself, even if it doesn't give anything to you it is an experience worth going through

well frequent fapping can desensitize your brain, because when you fap so much you're always looking for that "high" , then eventually you'll find yourself watching or only being able to "get off" to some weird porn on the internet.

Nofap can get you back to a state where you would explode in your pants just by staring at a girls face but that would take several months of no fap. Frequent fapping also cause a lot of fatigue too.

Not OP but what is the science behind nofap? Are your energy lows still higher than when fapping like crazy?

Also I tried nofap for nearly a week but broke cause by day 5 I was thinking of nothing but se and had to release. How do you get over the insane feeling of withdrawal and being crazy horny?

>>17462967

well get a gf or lady friend who's dtf.

>>17462967

yeah keep fapping until you get a gf , just don't make it a habit.

Last time I tried it I had wet dreams, so kinda ruined it.

NoPorn is what you really want.

Just fap less in general, and drop the porn. whether you have sex on a regular basis or not it will be helpful. My sex life improved immensely when I dropped porn and fapped less. Now I dont fap anymore, but I do have sex. Im not sure what it would be like if you dont have a gf, but I imagine you need to release occasionally.

I'm currently doing no fap August. Gonna have the house to myself next weekend so probably lose it their. But I honestly haven't seen a change. I re arranged my room entirely one day is about it. I've done it before for weeks at a time. I just get turned on easier. And the first load is massive. Other than that no 'benefit'. Some might do it for tolerance. Some might do it as a form of discipline. Maybe then want a big load for a girl. But no there isn't a conclusive your life will improve because you didn't jack off for two weeks. Every individual is different.

>Does nofap work?
That depends on what you're trying to use it for. If your habits are so frequent that it has started to mess with your life in general, then yes, it can help with that. But it is not a magical cure for all that ails you.

Changed nothing for me except for making me really horny and having wet dreams.
It was annoying as fuck, any touch would get me hard and having to change underwear when you wake up with cum all over it fucking sucks. It was also waaaay harder for me to put my hand on my dick to stop the cum from spreading.

This.
/thread

it has one positive effect tho
it stopped me procrastinating and did what i planned to do cuz you know i didnt spend 7 hours of my life finding a porn i can masturbate to for 1 minute and spend the next three hours feeling shitty and thinking about how many chores i could've accomplished within 7 hours i just wasted

>>17461604
Just makes me hornier(mornings are the worst) and a bigger load desu. It would be nice if I had regular sex to see if it makes a difference, I do have a gf but I don't see her that regularly to plan it out. I do it for myself mainly because moderation is probably for the best.

Anymore input?
