Does NoFap work?

Work for what? What are you hoping to accomplish with it?

>>17852455

Lack of motivation

>>17852453

Fapping can make you tired. It also is a good time sink, so if you are bored you might spend a few hours looking for porn and shit.

So yeah, dropping the habit a bit should help you out.

Ideally you should be able to fap every once in a while instead of everyday, several times a day, though.

im doing it

i feel less tired, more energy and i can focus in class


if youre gonna do nofap, you have to do it on hard mode.
that means no looking at porn and jacking off without cumming

Op here.

I tried it for a week but the results were exactly the opposite of what I was expecting. I couldn't concentrate on anything because all I thought was "OMG I need to masturbate". It was actually very harmful to my productivity.

Should I give it another shot and go longer this time? Are the benefits real?

No it's a terrible meme created by feminists.

>>17852482
>that means no looking at porn and jacking off without cumming

You mean "no looking at porn NOR jacking off without cumming", right?

Because edging for a long time will mess his concentration a lot more than just fapping.

>>17852496
>I couldn't concentrate on anything because all I thought was "OMG I need to masturbate". It was actually very harmful to my productivity.

Try not to get into extremes. Don't fap three times a day, but also don't stop fapping altogether.

Find a good rhythm that works for you.

>>17852513

Normally, I fap once a day.

>>17852496
think of it this way

if you keep watching porn youre always gonna feel that way

but if you stop, youll still feel it at the beginning, but as time goes, it gets less and less severe. you have more control over it.

It never really goes away, you just learn to cope with it a lot better.

>>17852523

That's still pretty high. I do it once a week, sometimes skipping a week and sometimes twice. You can go lower without stopping.

>>17852479
>you might spend a few hours looking for porn and shit.
That's called addiction. If you're gonna jack it to porn it's perfectly normal and fine to look at porn for a short period of time. For example 15-20 minutes.

>>17852482
>hard mode
You're doing it wrong already. Jerking off at least once a week is fine. Hell even a bit more frequently than that is fine for most people.
>>17852496
It's bro science. Jerk off every couple of days. After a week plus of not jerking it you will see more benefits. So feel free to jerk it after a week. The stop a week and repeat.

>>17852498
It is a terrible meme. I think just some dumb autistic fucks who wanted to blame their problems on something created it.

>>17852523
This is fine for some people. I jerk off almost every day and I live a perfectly normal and functional life. I'm what you guys who call a normie wagecuck with a good life. I'm practically chad.

In conclusion, both sides are going to argue forever over this shit. But the limited scientific evidence shows that abstaining from masturbation for more than a week is really where you see the benefits. Any longer is frankly pointless and no natural. So jerk off in moderation. Like all things in like, it's about moderation and balance.

>>17852556
>After a week plus of not jerking it you will see more benefits.
Typo there.
You will see NO more benefits...

Testosterone levels peak after about a week.

>>17852533

How can you know it's high? Also, what are the benefits of masturbating less? I want to know is there are REAL benefits, not placebo BS.

>>17852560
>>17852556
>t. expert in sexual health and male anatomy

thanks man

>>17852562

If you are wondering what to do, then it clearly doesn't work for you. (I'm assuming you are OP, correct me if you are not).

It's also building a habit.

I'm no doctor, though, so maybe I shouldn't have made a statement so "matter of fact"-ly, but my limited knowledge and common sense tell me it's too much.

>>17852575
You can start with the ad hominem shit but bottom line is there is absolutely no definitive science to back nofap. So you can say I'm full of shit all day long but you can refute any of it. You have no ground to stand on. Since you're trying to prove that nofap is a thing then it solely lies on you to prove it works and you can't. So I'm right every time.

Thanks man.

>>17852562
You just said the million dollar word that relates to all of this.

PLACEBO.

>>17852577

Yes, I'm OP.

Why? I mean, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of successful people having an orgasm everyday. And that doesn't stop them from being successful.

>>17852594

Well, I got really tired when I was fapping everyday. It even affected my sleep.

It also became less and less arousing to see the same pictures or movies everyday, so I ended up looking for more porn, but again, it was boring after a few days of the same. That's when I realized I was doing it too much. When I stopped for a few days and began feeling better, I realize the other stuff.

And no, I didn't read or hear about the "no fap" meme before coming to that decision.

>I'm pretty sure there are a lot of successful people having an orgasm everyday.

Really? You think the dude that pulls an all-nighter in his Wall Street company is fapping everyday? He also does a shitload of cocaine to keep the rhythm, so maybe there's that too.

>>17852577
>jacking off once a day is unhealthy
Do you think it's also unhealthy to have sex daily?
>>17852594
You're absolutely correct.

>>17852594
Again, I jerk off almost everyday. I live a pretty successful life. I work M-F. I'm up at 5 AM. I workout when I get off work. I eat healthy and natural foods. I have a badass car, and I own my house in a good neighborhood. I have a high sex drive still. I have a social life and a decent network. I hardly every get frustrated and if I do I laugh it off very quickly because nothing is ever that bad. I'm 30 by the way and I've been jerking off regularly for the past 12 years. By that I mean a few times a week if not daily. I was in a relationship for 3 years in that time. Another two last a year, and then a few shorter ones in between there... by 4chan standards that's pretty successful, by normie standards it's still pretty successful.

If you don't do shit all day or work a shitty job. You're poor and live in shit conditions you don't like. If basically your overall quality of life is shit and it bothers you then jerking off a lot is going to have an adverse effect on you. Plain and simple, it's a vice and when your life sucks the more vices you have the worse they seem. Sometimes you think it may be a cause of some of your problems because you're miserable looking for things to blame your problems on.

If your life is going relatively okay and you have a small vice you indulge in occasionally the rest of your life overshadows that.

>>17852605
>Do you think it's also unhealthy to have sex daily?

Pretty hard to pull off. How many people keep that up?

Th difference is that fapping you can do by yourself almost anytime you want. That's why it becomes more addicting.

To fuck around you need either several partners or money to pay for whores, so no one keeps it up. And yeah, I'm not sure sex everyday is that good for you either.

Can anyone clear this doubt of mine?

Does "Edging" mean to sit for hours in front of PC looking for the perfect pic/video to fap?

>>17852603

OP here.

Man, I've pull A LOT of all-nighters in the uni. I personally don't need to fap less to be able to do that.

>>17852641

"Edging" means getting aroused more and more without actually cumming. You get almost there (to the "edge" of cumming) and then stop whatever it is that was stimulating you.

You can do it by yourself or with a partner. The idea is to "build up" the orgasm, so it's "better". At least the people that do it think it's better.

>>17852645

Ok, here's the question: Have you noticed any ill effects to fapping so much? Are you tired or losing focus?

Why do you care about "no fap"?

If you have any of the usual symptoms, then I suggest you try fapping less to see if that has something to do with it. If fapping everyday works for you, then keep it up, I guess. Just remember that some people actually experience those symptoms, so it's not all BS. If you ever do, try dropping fapping for a few days.

>>17852649
Alright, I got it. So do you think it's better in anyway?

I've found myself to be edging a lot of times.

>>17852687

I actually found it worse haha. Not in pleasure sense, that part is fine. But I found it more draining than regular fapping. So I wouldn't go into edging only, no.

>>17852690
Thanks for clearing my doubts, man. Have a good one.

>>17852649
Agreed. I felt more okay when I didn't edge vs when I edged.

>>17852588
i cant claim anything retard, you did

fuck off with your garbage /pol/tier replies

>>17853408
Again with the ad hominem shit. Saying I was full of shit in essence by your claim that I'm not a doctor. Your claim. Claim.

Keep looking like a retard and making this about personal attacks without any substantive argument. At least I have convictions that I'm willing to stand up for. I don't just call people retards and faggots without backing it up.

Fuck off with your low information replies. Wait, more like no information replies.

Yes, but most people don't know what nofap really is.

Nofap doesn't mean never fap, it means become aware of when to fap.

If you fap too often, you'll feel fatigued and apathetic after cumming. If you only fap once every 4-5 days, you'll feel energized and eager for sex after fapping.

Fapping too much also causes hair loss.

Do yourself a favor and limit fapping to once a week, twice max. I wouldn't recommend two times a week unless you're on vacation or something and don't have shit to do.

Also never fap before an important event, like a date or an interview. You're depleting your life force and you'll perform less efficiently.

Miles Davis said he never ever ever cums before a show, because you can't play well if you just came. If Miles Davis said it, I believe it. He changed the world of jazz.


Think of it. If nofap worked for the most famous jazz musician in the world, why shouldn't everybody be doing it?

The people who say they haven't fapped in months are stupid or lying. If you don't fap you'll have wet dreams. The effects of nofap seem to dwindle after a week of not cumming, so I always cum once every 5-6 days.

>>17853437
>muh fallacies xd

i see youre head the debater at your community college

kill yourself, retard

>>17853574
I know you're just trying to illicit a response from me and nothing more, but frankly I have nothing better to do. I'm on a paid vacation for next 3 weeks. So I'll instead call you out and you can reply back with more inane shit.

So again, keep on with the personal attacks. You idiots can't disprove me. The burden of proof solely lies with you guys to prove that nofap is a real.

>>17853592
Nofap is real because people who deny it think defending their masturbation habits on 4chan is a valuable use of their time.

You're projecting how useless you are. Go enjoy your vacation.

>>17853749
>Nofap is real because people who deny it think defending their masturbation habits on 4chan is a valuable use of their time.

Hmmm, what scientific study did that come from? Oh it didn't come from one. You're just full of shit still. Still waiting on someone to give me proof that nofap is real.

>>17854357
How about you try it yourself and stop shitposting?

>I fap everyday
>I'm a wagecuck
>I'm kinda happy

Yeah sounds like that's working great for you lolololol.

Since I limited fapping to once every 5 days:
>More hair growth, more beard hair
>Larger muscle gains
>deeper voice
>Easier to flirt with women
>More confidence
>Bigger penis
>More frequent erections
>Improved guitar playing skills
>Clearer mind
>Making more money than I've made in my life
>Been on more dates in the past 6 months and have had sex with more women than I have in my whole life.

I really don't give a fuck if you keep fapping, it probably means you know your genes suck and you don't deserve to procreate. If you feel tired after fapping instead of energized and eager for sex, you fap too much.

>>17852457
if you spend most of your time cranking your soulja boy then yes, you'll get more work done

if you're expecting nofap to make you more motivated to date women, not likely

>>17854485
It's actually one of the best parts about nofap. The less you fap, the more motivated you are to go up to beautiful women you come across.

If I haven't cum in 4 days, it's like my flirting skills go into autopilot. I also notice women sense that I have a lot of sexual energy and they will even approach me, it's magnetic. They want that energy.

When flirting with a girl after a few days of not cumming it feels so much easier and natural. The words just come out, and the chemistry forms with ease. Try it.

I say again, nofap does not mean you stop fapping. It means you say no to the urge to fap when it is unnecessary. Once a week is healthy, twice a week max. always space out faps at least 3-5 days, find the sweet spot where you can fap and still feel energized the next day/immediately after cumming.

If you feel like shit after you cum, like you're dying a little on the inside, you need to stop.

>>17854462
Keep on with the anecdotal stuff and ad hominem shit. I have abstained from jerking off for periods of time to see how it effected my energy levels as they related to my testosterone levels. It's all anecdotal though. Did nothing for me.

You do give a fuck because you keep replying to me. Cite some scientific sources backing your claims to all that shit.

>>17854539

If you fap often it takes about a week of zero ejaculation to even begin rewiring your brain's dopamine levels. My advice is hold off for a week, fap, then hold off for five days, fap, and try to stick at five days. In my experience it's perfect. By the fifth day you're about to burst, so right after you cum you don't feel tired at all. You just feel release and an incredible orgasm.

>>17854499

What if I masturbate daily but I don't feel drained after it? After I fap I have a clear mind and I'mm able to focus on what's important now that sex is not a priority.

>>17852453
>>17853569

Longest time on nofap was 32 days on hard mode. It's pretty tough, but it left me with more mental clarity.

Starting it up again & going for the whole 90 days

>>17853569
>causes hair loss
wut

>>17854462
This has gotten so ridiculous that I can't even tell who's trolling and who's being serious. Did you get mind powers too? Do you not need to sleep anymore? Can you bend reality according to your will?

>>17852453
> does NoFap work?
How about you stop being retarded and realise that it only helps a few days at the max.

I haven't fapped in like a week, no pc hdd is shot, and I've noticed something different, confidence maybe. Idk if it's coincidence or what but I'm a virgin and conversions with girls seem to come MUCH easier and this chick at work is taking a keen interest in me. I'm might just try this for a bit longer.

>>17852453
I wish I could tell you. I can't go more than a couple days without fapping

I use to fap twice a day, for YEARS. I just recently stopped, I feel GREAT.

Since I quit fapping I feel healthier. My mind feels more clear.

>>17852649

What if i avoid going to the edge of cumming, just staying hard and aroused for hours, but not to the point of cummung?

>>17854462

what happens when you don't fap/orgasm for months (or even years) and only have wet dreams every month?
