I agree that excessive porn consumption is the the problem.
I’ve tried nofap in the past and I noticed it did seem to improve my confidence in cold approaching, especially when I was lifting regularly. It also seems to be easier to maintain eye contact. Maybe it’s the placebo effect?
Not enough for me to stop altogether though. I usually won’t approach the day I fap, probably because I’m satiated, not sure.
I look at it like having to use the bathroom…There are times when I could go, but I don’t because I can hold it and the release isn’t forced when I do go later.
Not good for your ‘state to keep it clogged like that. Also, you might lower your standards when selecting.
Give it a try though, I think you’ll find it’s something that you can apply when necessary and does not have to be a permanent lifestyle change. Once every 3-4 days is reasonable and healthy
I read a study somewhere that it doesn’t make a difference after a week, can’t be bothered to find it though.
