Is nofap the key to a better life?

r u having sex?
>>35005006
This. If not, how do you do it? Share your wisdom with us.
>>35004770
No. Self control is.
Orgasming without ejaculating will give you much bigger gains. It takes even greater self control.
>>35006695
lmao how the fuck do you even do that
>>35004770
Tbh it's literally unhealthy as fuck to no fap if you aren't getting sex. If you don't empty yourself once every 2 weeks then things can get a little silly.

this is what virgin neckbeards believe
nice way to hide your porn addiction

>no-fapper criticizing anyone else for believing something outlandish
lmaoing @ u my dude
>Is nofap the key to a better life?
Don't think so. I've experimented with it and at times I saw a correlating and at other times it was not there at all.
I think if your life improves and you get busy doing things you get less of an urge to fap, anyway. Maybe that's what's happening to you.
Or you're just getting older.
I haven't fapped in a month due to outside circumstances and I see absolutely no change.
>inb4 u need to do it longer
Also, doesn't excess testosterone (which would be gotten by not fapping) turn into something else?
>>35004770
yes it is, if you don't fap, at least too much, you'll have a better life.
>>35004770
About to hit 2 months of nofap. Here's what's changed for me.
>Self control actually allowed me to change my diet. Now eat MUCH more healthy and have managed to supplant soda for seltzer water
>Also working out just about daily with all this extra energy. Getting stronger faster which is really cool but it's also getting harder to push myself to soreness with my meager home setup
>mind is more clear, I think. Still haven't gotten back the drive and creativity I had as a kid though, which is something I miss
>finding it easier to talk to girls and women without immediately fantasizing about jerking off with their feet
>with the change of psyche came a bunch of minor changes like changing the sleep schedule to be up at sunrise and in bed at a decent hour. Enjoying sunlight more and more and like being outdoors
Did download some porn last night, oddly enough. Didn't watch it though.

nice placebo
fapping raises test and clears your mind so you can focus on self-improvement and don't act like a sperg, if you don't fap you are not really motivated, just more irritable and agitated
>>35006797
to be fair nofap is not unhealthy (unless you are an oldmen at risk of prostate cancer), but it accomplishes nothing
>>35004770
I think NoFap causes a lot of people to internalize a lot of guilt and shame over masturbation (and in some cases any type of sexual release) when it's completely natural, which can cause more harm than good. On the other hand, I think NoPorn *is* a great way to regain control, focus, and sexual function. Masturbation is fine, being bombarded with artificial stimulation which rewires your sexuality isn't.
>source I tried NoFap with porn, and NoPorn with fapping, and the latter did a lot more for me a lot more quickly.

According to these studies, yes. It causes a palpable hormonal change in men which maintains an elevated concentration of male hormones, not the least of which is a ~150% testosterone concentration.

Said what I wanted to say.
Anyone else getting beard gains on nofap?
Every time I try nofap I feel like I grow an extra couple of hairs.

Killing yourself is the key to a better life.
This is the dumbest meme to ever come out of assblastedchan.
>>35009094
I never got this. How the hell do you fap without porn? Are you just using your fucking imagination?
>>35009193
Called dry orgasms. If you train your mighty PC muscle and tighten it up as you cum. You don't actually ejaculate, but still feel an orgasm. Feels like none of that energy you built up gets saved and if you lift after that, you get mad results.
>>35009330
>Are you just using your fucking imagination?
That's the idea, yes. If my imagination isn't feeling it, I don't fap.
>>35009330
Not that anon, but...
Lay back, close your eyes, and play out scenes in your mind.
Use memories of ex girlfriends, a hot chick you saw that day, some picture you saw on the internet.
Picture them naked, and picture yourself doing stuff to them.
Seriously.... Fucking kids are spoiled these days with the internet.
Back in my teens when the internet wasn't even around this is what I did.
Played out scenes in my mind of women I was interested in, or found attractive, and masturbated to the images.
That's how you do it, anon.
Use your imagination, or memories.

When I do nofap, my dick gets a huge increase in girth, even when flaccid. Has anyone else experienced this?
