Fapping is fine in moderation. Just try to do it without porn or with the most vanilla solo female stuff you can find.
Otherwise you'll wind up fapping to traps and cuck porn before you know it.

Porn is bad though. It creates overly high expectations about sex and women in general.
What it does is that if you're a virgin you will be very disappointed about sex after you'll finally have it.

Weak people also start thinking abous sex as if it's some kind of holy grail or some shit. They put women on pedestal, get rejected because of that, get frustrated and turn into elliot roger.

>>8697187
sex is always disappointing when you're new at it, porn or no porn

>>8696694
>Is nofap pseudoscience?
Yes.
>Does it have any real studies backing it up?
Almost absolutely no.
Masturbation has a positive effect on your health as long as it is not maladaptive, and in 99% of cases it is not.

>>8697737
>can i revert?
No, you have to satiate your urge and see that it is not really what you expected to revert back to not being an absolute faggot.

I always like to think I am a humble person but I'm not really sure anymore. I think porn made me set some high fucking standarts when it comes to women. I don't really go for only 10/10s don't get me wrong. But I get chances regularly yet refuse to participate in almost all of them because I don't really like the girl. I always come up with an excuse.

Is this because of porn. If so, should I really lower my expectation I mean I would never go for a 5/10 or anything, should I just hit it?

>>8696694

Is it o-okay to fap to soft porn tho?

There are no known adverse physical health affects of celibacy.

There are also no known benefits.

Is there anything sadder than neckbeards defending masturbation?

There may or may not be physical benefits, but one thing not masturbating does is it makes you get out there and get shit done. I will never go back to fapping.

Over one year fap-free here ama.

>>8702329
There are plenty of known adverse health effects of celibacy. People that never married and live alone die way sooner than others, especially for the men. The rate of suicide among involuntary celibates that reach middle age is also probably through the roof.

Ok op, i'll tell you the secret.
1. death grip fapping is bad
2. watching porn is bad
3. you become addicted to something in order to fill a-certain-feeling/activity/bordom, if you find something healthier to fill that gap (like hanging out with friends which is usually the case) you won't feel that strong urge to fap or it will feel significantly weaker
4. don't fap everyday, do it moderatly, like once or at most twice a week which is the most optimal(stopping it all together is still better tho)

I'm currently doing a bit of step 3 and step 4.
I don't feel like a social outcast anymore, i'm making more friends, a bit more confident in myself and i'm studying regularly unlike before.
The key is understanding what is making you feel like shit and finding the source of your insicurities that make you unable to act normal

Not fapping doesn't always mean you become ultra chad chick magnet with superpowers, there are living examples of it everywhere, the same goes for masturbating.
It's all about coming to terms with yourself about what you're doing.

>>8701910
>How the fuck do you even fap to that?
My """fetish""" is completely normal girls doing normal things, normally. Makes me nut harder than watching girls having sex.

>>8702354
how often do you get laid?
don't wet dreams get annoying as fuck?
what do you make of supposed increased chances of testicular cancer amongst no fappers

>>8697085
This is the exact same mentality right wing pieces of shit use to deny climate change

I fap twice a day and it's caused me to lose my hair. If you fap twice a day you will also go bald.

Other than that, no problems.

>>8696694
Yes, but the meme that people spout about it preventing ass cancer is pseudo science in teh same way. You won't be preventing it very much in the first place and it only becomes a valid argument if you're over 30 or some shit. You aren't going to get aids because you don't shit nutrients out of your dick once a week. If your dick isn't broken it should be doing that for you, anyway.

You gonna die anyway, do whatever. Want to stop, stop. Want to watch porn, watch. It only damages if you doing it like 10 times a day, 7 days a week. In moderation it does no harm, like almost anything else.
Also porn is boring as fuck. I only pay attention to the clothing or some specific body part then do the rest using imagination. Another problem is that today we have facebook/instagram and you can get face/feet/armpit/thighs pics from girls you know irl, then you can use imagination to create a superior content that any website can offer, since you can relate much more with the girl.
People who dislike porn are too lazy to dig up and find nice content. You can watch remi and raylene fighting; miss alice dressed as alice; willow hayes, serpente dina or that marfan girl if you like skinny models.
Like skinny girls? go to youtube and look for "ff channel". Now you have access to video fotage of millions of models. Sometimes you can even see tities throught the fabric.
Let's not even talk about wikifeet.
Stop being lazy.

>>8699295
Just use the skill called imagination and create new scenarios/roleplay.

>>8696694
Sex and masterbation is pointless and wanting it badly is a sign of being weak willed by giving into animalistic pointless behaviour. Do the right thing, learn self control, reject all the girls who throw themselves at you and instead focus on maths.

>reject all the girls who throw themselves at you and instead focus on math
I can guarantee you that anyone who says this is coping with the fact that no girl has thrown themselves at him.

>>8706386

You can probably make an argument on both sides about that. It's easy to say guys who say statements like that are losers who can't get any women. But on the flip side those same guys usually aren't riddle with sexual diseases, lost of abundant resources from wasted relationships and have greater potential for future financial earnings.

Honestly I say most anons on /sci/ could easily get a woman but that would require to lower their standards which most aren't exactly willing to do.

>>8702781

which, in turn, is not normal.


nigga u gonna be a serial killer

>>8696694

ask any medical doctor, psychologist, or other relevant scientist faggot.

nofap is 99% bullshit spouted by idiots on the internet and other idiots eat it up because: it makes sense, they already have the idea that fapping is bad for them, they think fapping is for losers or whatever.

nofap may have very small benefits, but its generally not worth the scientifically verified benefits lost by NOT fapping

>b-but fapping is for losers!
>i heard nofap does x!
>nofap has worked wonders for me!

all bullshit, you should do honest research before assuming anything, and resources on this topic are readily available. even if nofap is literally providing actual benefits, you are actually missing out on alot by not fapping.

is porn bad? maybe, but dont just jump on the meme bandwagon proclaiming porn as a cause for loser neckbeards.

I'm nofapping right now, and I came from my mom's uterus.

I didn't fap for a whole week, and the number of orgasms I have had in that time is zero. Nofap really works

How?

>>8710492
becomes harder to get hard, more difficult to cum, and orgasms feel less fulfilling.
still masturbate constantly for lack of better things to do but it feels more and more like a chore when I'm sober

nofap makes me ejaculate while asleep, leaving a mess.
So I kind of have to fap at least once every 2 days.
