Anyone here ever tried it? Has it had a positive impact on your productivity, mental clarity, state of mind, ect?
Really good for business and finances
instead of spending all that time masturbating and looking for a video, you're doing productive stuff
then theres the dopamine abuse aspect of it
most of the info is on ybop

The number one investment you can make in business and finances is to invest in yourself

it's funny that now with the internet and endless resources at our fingertips, morons still can't look this stuff up themselves.
complete abstinence reduces testosterone.
masturbation has no effect on testosterone levels.
not fapping will reduce your productivity, not increase it.
>>1627131
yes definitely I notice it
If i abstain my energy goes up, more energy = more clarity and productivity
thats what its about, the most basic life essence, this isnt "science" though

AS FUCKING ALWAYS, there should be a GOLDEN MIDDLE.
Like with almost everything. Some has good effects and no downsides, and both extremes have downsides.
Completely abstinence basically makes you an eunuch, "use it or lose it" as they say.
But jacking off every 5 hours to unrealistic videos of bimbos in perfect lighting, professional makeup, camera angles etc is also very harmful.
What would be better is masturbating once or twice a week, preferably to as close to real women as possible (jack off to pictures of your girlfriend's tits if you have one for example), or just without porn to your thoughts. Porn is harmful, masturbation not so much if done properly.

what if you were a woman

Its called sexual transmutation, its in think and grow rich. http://www.sacred-texts.com/nth/tgr/tgr16.htm
Nofap turns betas into alphas. If you've had trouble with the ladies nofap will help you get the confidence to get whatever you want.

spoken like a true roastie
NoFap only makes you more desperate men, it makes you so desperate that you eventually go for someone below you, like a 29yo roastie about to hit the big ol granny age.
Roasties are trying everything they can to stop us gentlemen from enjoying ourselves when they were never there to help in the first place.
why cant you faggots just fap in moderation for fucks sake.
>>1627131
Nonsense. Men NEED regular orgasm. It helps not just the sex drive but a man's brain, his entire body.
As far as the porn part it can desensitize you, and give you a shortcut that can make you lazy in interacting with women, but these effects are minor IMO.

I call bullshit on this. I'll restrain from fapping for a week and I still manage to find equally worthless activities to waste my time.
>>1627313
I call on bullshit on this too. The times of my life where I fap more are always followed by getting laid more.
Don't get me wrong. I'd love to cease fapping all together, but I want to replace it with something productive, something I can be proud of.
/biz/ how do you stay on task?
>>1627455
>waste time however you want. its not productive. think of your financial/business role model. do you think he masturbates? doubt it.
You literally didn't read what I said. I was saying masturbation or not -- I still waste time. Masturbation isn't the problem: lack of productivity is. That wasted time will be filled with any number of vices.
Also I don't have a business role model, kind of the problem, can't find one who is relevant enough to me to be a good source of mimicry but also successful enough that I feel like they are a good source of guidance.
How do you switch any non-productive activity be it masturbation or something else for constructive/productive ones?
