Nofap is Bullsh*t

[corrector]

In spanish there is the word "Pajero" which translates as "wanker". It can be used (usually by men) to describe a man who is weak or can't perform physically because he spends all his time jerking off instead of practicing. There's something behind it if there are words to denigrate the practice.

And I don't mean to say that nofap is a placebo.

Bu, it doesn't matter if something is just a placebo if it works. If it puts you in the mindstate where you're actually going to notice when a woman is looking at you and be confident, then it has done it's job. Confidence is something that you project, something you can always turn on and aways have.

Sometimes you just need the magic feather like Dumbo to fool you into realizing that you always had the ability to fly and you were just too scared to try without it.

One can use pheremones for that effect.

I found NF made me very aggressive and motivated to flirt and go out to meet women.

Not ejaculating for a week might seem like a good way to add more volume to your ejaculate, but you also have to remember that your body clenses itself and releases seminal and prostate fluid naturally if you don't ejaculate (i.e. when you pee, nocturnal emissions, etc.).

So even with not ejaculating for a period of time you only have a certain capacity for how much ejaculate you are able to possess. To get beyond your natural capacity for ejaculate fluid you would have to try other means.

OP you are 24, some of us are in our 30s were desensitized to things......

so for instance before Nofap, i had a mediocre erection, smallish flaccid, and it took aggressive stuff to make me ejaculate.

now 2 months into Nofap.......I have a large flaccid, 100% 2pm erections, they dont go down either. and all it takes is a woman to stroke me off. or breathe on me, and shes gonna get conquered

Best feeling ever, depression/mood has lifted considerably

P0rn is a huge issue and maybe the final nail in the coffin for masculinity

20 year olds can't get hard now. They've been watching ANAL DOUBLE PENATRATION since the age of 13

No playboy magazine, no sexxx phone lines.... straight to double anal penatration

Those of us in our 30s remember it wasn't easy to get p0rn. And our sex drives lasted longer

That's not the case with Gen Z. And now they need these NoFap movements to get out

At least they recognize there's a problem

 

[B80]

yeah I imagine most men wouldn't even begin to look into this or think knocking one out could potentially cause these issues. probably see it as pleasurable and harmless.

Ahhh the joys of being 13 again, when the neighbour used to destroy his wifes P sleeve 3 times a night. and I heard everything

I think you gotta go with what works. Whether it's real or placebo, if it works for you, that's all that matters.

ofcourse, i dont claim any superpowers though. Just having that 100% erection, when it used to be 75% is a winner on its own. plus all day i have reasonably sized flaccid, ....this is all mood lifters, along with that money shot. that now comes easy.

I also get this breeze feeling through my body, almost like menthol. when i see a woman with a decent physique.

all very good for me

I think the main problem is with porn and heavily sexualized media.
You can start by watching porn out of curiosity in your youth and slowly you develop an addiction to it. You start masturbating and eventually you start seeing a cleavage on TV and you get horny and wanting to wank one out.
So we get desensitized both mentally and physically. That's why we as 21th century men on average have a worse sexual performance than previous generations. Despite how much information is available to us now.

This nofap idea is good, but I feel like it's also important to rationalize what the main problem is.

Regardless of any proven or unproven physiological effects, the psychological effects cannot be denied. Your man on the street can easily go/stay at home and console himself, so to speak, rather than learning to successfully engage with women properly. And therein lies the rub, so to speak.

And how long it took you to get you're brain rewired again? Personally I've never had unreal porn expectations, gang bang and all that. I can go without watching porn it doesn't mean much to me. Whenever I had some boner issues it was because I was not attracted to that specific girl that much or a girl was a total waste in bed (she would just lay down and that's that).

But I agree, we as man are not designed to sit in front of a computer screen and jerk it off.

To a grater scale, porn is probably an issue. Men were masturbating for centuries before porn and its when porn arrived a lot of guys became addicted to it, avoiding real action.

I agree and what about unreal expectations we nowadays have? Seeing so many hot insta th0ts makes an average guy hard to fall for regular girl.

And makes it hard for him to find...well...happiness with a girl.

Around 4 weeks to see improvements, (no Orgasm in this time allowed at all) . then after my 4th week, i invited a mediocre woman round my place, and rained Toxic patriarchy on her V. It was great for me and her

I’ve done no fap before because I read peer reviewed study that says T levels spike enormously around the 8th day of abstinence, then returns to base level. Interestingly, around day 6 or 7, I began feeling powerful and energetic. Perhaps doing an 8 day streak every so many weeks is beneficial for T spiking? Or... may cause prostate / hormonal issues? IDK.

 

[EyeOnThePrize]

If you can't go at least a month without fapping then you've got self-control/addiction issues and are exactly the type of person that should practice some nofap. If you can go a month without issue, then the benefits you'll see from nofap will be trivial.

It's natural for a goal striving man to never wank it or even think about wanking. It's laughable how there are so many guys that think it's perfectly normal to jack off all the time. All you're screaming to the world is that you have no idea how to manage your emotions, time, and energy effectively.

Go to any kind of bootcamp and if you're sufficiently challenged you won't think about fapping the entire time you're there. You'll have so much stimulation, nuance, and obstacles to focus on that you'll completely forget about it.

The men that fap are bored men that otherwise have little no to stimulation in their lives and are either too ignorant to understand how to facilitate productive stimulation or are too lazy to try. The men that defend fapping as some kind of perfectly normal activity are even further off the path because they don't want to accept this simple truth. They would rather normalize it than get up and do something more productive.

I hate to be a party pooper, but the posts about someone being on a 6 day streak and having loads of weird reactions from women is a bit annoying.

Confirmation bias: the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses.

In other words, before you have heard of nofap you are in the supermarket and and you see an attractive women, she glances at you and then goes back to her shopping. You think nothing of it.

After being hyped up by the NoFap subreddit and being on a 12 day streak. You are in the supermarket and you suddenly realise that an attractive woman has gravitated towards you, she is being sucked in by your radiant glow. She is staring at you with lustful hunger and when you glance at her and locks eyes she suddenly feels self conscious and looks away, and pretends to go back to her shopping.

Both of these accounts could be used to describe the exact same event, but in the second one the guy is suffering from confirmation bias.

It's BS. I stopped wanking for several hours and no women approached me.

The glanced and benefits are definety bull**** but cumming does release energy and will make you weaker. I always feel drained after sex.

Sex and fapping are two different things. Sex uses up a lot more energy and has been shown to increase TESTORONE
