Is nofap a meme
>>18009956
Meme or not, it made my boyfriend vanilla and boring.
Pretty much. You'll have a tricky time finding people outside the redpill/pua communities suggesting it and that includes the real life chads they have such love and hate for.

No, your retarded kinks and constant demands made him vanilla and boring.
>>18009966
What? He used to be into BDSM and stuff, just like me. He even admits that not watching porn made him not as into these things.
>>18009956
I did it for three months. Started to lost the urge of of satisfying fetishes or kinks.
I also appreciated the wholeness of the woman figure without putting pussy on a pedestal, like some kind of balance.
I think it's more the result of not watching porn than the result from not fapping at all.
In my experience I've found NoFap to make me want to approach women and go out more. I've found that incessantly fapping has made me more apt to stay at home, and that when I am out, I don't give any female the time of day.
athletes abstain from sex when training for major events so there's something to it. still a meme though.

Yes and no. It isn't the cure to all sexual problems like some think it is, but it DOES have benefits.
>>18009963
Thank god I'm just naturally disgusting. I never lost momentum when I quit fapping.
>>18009956
Yes OP but jerking off every 2 or 3 days is healthy

That has to do with testosterone levels. Which top off after a week anyway. No problem with releasing some once a week.
The changes are minimal though really, and it varies from person to person of course.

You should definitely at least try if you consider yourself addicted to masturbation
If you just casually masturbate from time to time without feeling bad or anything, it probably won't do anything to you
Nofap is hilarious to me. It came from a rather unscientific Ted talk by a christian fundamentalist. People laugh at the fact that cornflakes and graham crackers were designed to be plain so as not to "excite" boys to masturbation. But today we still believe that kind of shit with nofap. It's also funny that it's popular with right wingers - Kubrick was right on with the "precious bodily fluids" bit in Dr Strangelove. Fuck nofap and the dumbasses who endorse it.
Nofap goes back for years. What's funny is that "nofappers" are doing it wrong.
Not fapping for months at a time in young age is extremely counterproductive. You're going to feel super sexually frustrated, and women will sense your frustration.
A man in his twenties can and should ejaculate once a week (once every 4-5 days)
This is usually ideal for most men age 18-30 because it gives you time to feel the positive benefits of high sexual energy, and by the 4-5 day point it becomes too much of a distraction and you'll become more productive after ejaculating.
If you feel clear, sober, and energized after ejaculating, you hit the sweet spot. If you feel tired, insecure, and apathetic after ejaculating you came too recently and you're depleting yourself.
The chart I posted is pretty good. As you can see as you get older you gotta cum less often to maintain a good energy level. 60+ year olds shouldn't cum at all. Cumming in your 60s results in erectile dysfunction and supposedly a shorter life span (Women live longer than men statistically, may be due to ejaculating too often in old age.)

Thanks for this post, that was really useful
I consider myself addicted to masturbation (not porn, masturbation), meaning that if i don't "control" myself i'll masturbate two or three times a day.
It's probably not unhealthy to do that, but it makes me feel awful, and i don't take any pleasure out of it anymore.
I initially wanted to do Nofap but i figured completely stopping masturbation wouldn't be a good solution either in the long run, and i don't specifically want to never masturbate again, i just don't wanna be addicted to it anymore, and feel good about it instead of feeling awful when i do, but i didn't know at what frequency i should do it
From now on i'll masturbate once or twice a week, and see if that works for me
You haven't truly lived until you manage to go 90 days without masturbating. In this case subjective experience does matter. All the "does nofap work" threads and people attacking it just goes to show you how far wankers will defend and rationalize their masturbation addiction and make not masturbating into a sick perversion.

I am extremely skeptical of that sourceless and citationless chart
>>18009956
Tried it for a week
Here's my personal experience (Disclaimer: May not be applicable to yourself)
Pros:
>Became more "awake", felt my frontal lobe being much more active (a tingle, if you will)
>Processed information faster
>Became wittier
Cons:
>Insanely horny (I mean it. I worked with a 4/10 in a storageroom, we were alone, and if she'd offered I would have DESTROYED her pussy then and there on those cardboardboxes, I nearly felt my dick bursting through my pants)
>Easily irritated (used my wit more to put down people in a neutral discussion as if it was an annoying debate than my usual up-beat jabs)
>INSANELY horny, couldn't stop fantasising about basically any and all girls I ever met plus I think I developed an insemination and impregnation fetish
>God damnit so horny
I admit I could barely stop edging during, which probably contributed to the horniness, but sweet mother of christ I was so in need of it that when I finally couldn't carry on, anymore, I came so hard it almost hurt.
Definitely planning on trying again, soon, with less edging.
yep absolutely no trustworthy studies support nofap
NoPorn is superior
NoFap will kill you. Ejaculation is a healthy cycle in a young man's life
it helped me mentally refresh when I was getting anxiety attacks, only did it for a week and my balls would hurt immensely if tried for a longer period
Nofap should be called Noaddiction. Addictions are bad for your development. It's a loss of willpower that makes you develop excuses for unhealthy patterns. You should be wary of any addiction, and that includes includes being addicted to cocaine, video games and yes, fapping. If you feel that you are masturbating too much to an unhealthy frequency then you may want to take a look at your masturbation habit, not because of any phony science about why masturbation is bad, but because you want to overwhelm an addiction. This is why a non-smoker will gain nothing from smoking one cigarette and then quitting, while a heavy smoker will gain much from quitting. It's about addictions and regaining control of yourself after losing it.
It's really about porn. Not fapping is just a precaution to prevent you from relapsing into porn.
Also, contrary to popular belief, sexual urge im humans does not indefinitely grow in linear relationship to the time spent without fulfillment. It does grow for a certain period of time, and then reverses in function. Ie, after that point, the more time you spend without fulfillment, the *less* you think about sex.
Anyone who's managed to do noporn/fap for more than a month can attest to this. Though i would imagine the specific timings would vary from person to person.
For me, the tipping point is 2 weeks.
>>18009956
Legitimately I find it helps for like a day but if you're not jerkin it for months it's not like each day mounts more and more tension.
It's a meme.
Originally it was meant for people that have an addiction to porn/masturbation, then all the virgins/people who have trouble getting sex picked it up and started the whole "I'M GETTING STRONGER THE NEXT GIRL I SEE I'M GOING TO FUCK I'M GOING TO SPEAK TO EVERY GIRL IN MY STATE I'M SO CONFIDENT AND STRONG AND FUCKING ALPHA."
At most it's a placebo for people that buy into that shit, but it's really only worth it if you're addicted to porn/masturbation. Just do what your body tells you.
How many people who post on 4chan regularly are not addicted to porn and masturbation?
>>18009956
I think so. But it is good not to drain yourself fapping. I cut it in half and now I am more interested in talking to girls and developing a male role.
I also spend much less time in porn.
>>18010813
>you die from ejaculating too much
pls no
>>18009956
More or less
No porn is the real healthy option
>>18009956
psychologically there's no telling what the placebo effect will do
physiologically there's a small peak in testosterone on the seventh day (and no sooner) that almost immediately falls back to normal because your body is perfectly capable of disposing of sperm without ejaculation.
>>18010813
I feel distracted by my horniess the very next day after fapping, fapping every day
I dont know if im just very horny or what but its almost like hunger
