>what happens if you stop masturbating?

depends on every other detail surrounding that. first and foremost, what you try to focus on instead.

most of the 'nofap' success stories come from people who already had the pieces to a successful life in front of them but were hardcore addicted.

by which i mean they had all these relationships and opportunities, but became so obsessed with porn that they couldn't put energy into them, most noteably their girlfriends.

by cutting out porn they reduced their orgasm to a healthy limit, usually only when their woman was willing.

this gave them the tome to focus on their opportunities as ewll.

but if you have no opportunities, and no girlfriend, or prospective partners then just cutting out fapping means you will get blue balls.

the issue was more about porn adicction than anything else. i masturbate daily, usually more than once. but i still manage ab usiness, make movies in my spare time, date, have sex, and spend copious amount of times with friends.

the difference is that i dont let the orgasms control my lifestyle. i dont spend hours a day on porn.

Not masturbating = you'll try harder to get a girl to fuck

>>18187619

not neccessarilly. for every success story about how it pushed you to fuck a girl theres a dozen or so stories of guys just getting blue balls and not sure how to eve ngo about getting a girlfriend, let alone a one night stand.

really if you could get a girlfriend masturbating isn't really whats holding you back.

Literally this. By all means, there's no harm in giving it a go but there are probably other factors you may want to focus on first.

Depends on how you see it. If you expect to find willpower out of nowhere then nothing will happen. It's an practice of discipline. It's all up to you what you are trying to achieve out of it. Either to achieve other goals while testing your willpower by resisting the urge to pleasure yourself, or you just want to stop the shame from damaging your self-worth.

What if you don't fap to porn? That still alright?

again, its the surrounding details that matter more than anything.

if you intend to explore this its okay to fap just make it something you only do right before bed, preferrably only twice a week or so, and of course no porn.

Did nofap for about half a year and experience no real changes.

>>18187603
I gave it up while I was away in Africa for a month, and the same in India. I was pretty busy so it didn't really affect me much. You really have to make sure not to be sat around too much.

Any benefits after 7 days are bull

I'm not OP, but I'd like some advice about this, if anyone is listening.

I might be a porn addict. On days when I don't have anything to do (which is almost every weekday during the afternoon- none of my roommates are home, and I work nights), I find myself jerking it almost constantly, up to once an hour, for up to 8 hours straight. I almost always do it to porn, though I can easily do it without porn too. If I go more than a day or two without masturbating, I get mild blue-balls, and I have to take care of it. This cannot be healthy, but when I'm bored with nothing to do, I often turn to porn, not because I'm horny, but just because I want something to do. I've been wanting to stop watching porn so much, but how should I go about it? Should I just try cutting it cold-turkey (I wouldn't stop masturbating entirely, but I'd likely do it much less often), or should I go gradually, like allowing myself one or two views a day?

Nothing. Nofap is a meme.

my motivation was i couldnt enjoy sex as much with fapping too much to porn
so i stopped
cold turkey
it worked, not only my dick became more sensitive (more enjoyment) but i was more horny for the gf which she liked very much

I don't know, I've been cutting down my frequency, and I've noticed that I feel warmer? It's hard to explain. It feels like my willpower has increased a bit.

Anything can happen. You could get a girlfriend, you could develop cancer, you can get shot, you can develop a new hobby

I did it once, it was awful. I felt like I was bursting at the seams every second.

No real lack-of-masturbation related benefits, certainly none that are worth it. Plus I feel it helps you know yourself better so you know what you want and what your limits are when it comes to genuine sexual contact.

One of the actual (indirect) benefits that I can attest does exist is a boosting of willpower, but that doesn't really have anything to do with masturbation specifically. Willpower is like a muscle, you build it up by... basically doing things you don't want to do.

Not masturbating when you want to masturbate, taking cold showers when you prefer hot showers, forcing yourself to exercise, making yourself sleep at odd times (or decent times if your sleep schedule is off), resisting an addiction, keeping a candy bar on the dining room table and not eating it no matter how much that little harlot is asking for it (this is one I use). Basically any time you force yourself to do (or not do) something you don't want (or want) to do, you're building up Willpower like a muscle. If you're keen to start up a Willpower boosting regimen, resisting the jerk can be an element of your training, but the benefits you get aren't because of anything hanky-panky related, it's simply because you're resisting something you want to do.

tl;dr : Can you really call it living if you can't spank the monkey? No. That is hell, not life.
