Is no fap a meme?

I only fap when my balls itch/experience
distress/pain.

It's more of a pleasurable necessity. Otherwise,
the pain/itch in my testicles is beyond tolerable
thresholds.

If you're experiencing ED, especially if you are young, you should talk to a doctor before trying to cure it yourself. ED is usually an indicator of something wrong with your vascular system or endocrine system, ESPECIALLY if you are consistently failing to get morning erections.

Fuck yourself you're not funny

> depressed and don't want to/can't fap

there's no win

I used to do nofap, and realized that I could rarely ever make it beyond a week. Now I either workout or jog everyday. That saps my physical energy and makes it impossible to jerk off without watching porn. Don't even remember how many days or weeks it's been, but I haven't ejaculated in a while. Not nofap because I'm not actively concentrating on 'not fapping'. Instead, I do other shit.

I've noticed that I only pop erections in the morning. I don't watch porn so I can't comment on pornstars. I don't want to bang every qt I see, so my libido has gone down.

I can speak to other people more easily, and get along with my family much better. I also feel more energetic, positive, and assertive. I.E. signs of higher testosterone, despite not getting frequent erections.

So it works. It isn't just a meme. Question is, are the side effects long-term, or simply an effect of withdrawal from porn?

What if I fap but not primarily to porn? Seems like people talk more about no porn than no fap

Did it a couple of years ago in August, no less.
Had failed once in February because LOLALONEONVALENTINES and felt like shit because of it so I really wanted to try again a second time on a month with no real holidays that could make me feel like shit enough to give up.

Shit's not worth it.
for 31 days I was more aggravated, more anxious, I never really talked to people anyway, and I spent a shitton more money than I usually did on meals to cook for myself to kill time and on various trips to get my mind off of myself.

The release I got after a month of no fap felt just like the release I got after the 2 weeks in February.

People treat it as this awesome reset that will make your life better and make you feel better but it doesn't do shit. I felt MORE depressed during no-fap. I noticed more couples and more friends around me and was constantly reminded of just how lonely I really was.

Never again.
I promised myself I would never do a no fap challenge ever again.

I'm only at day 2 of it and it's so fucking painful. I don't believe any of the broscience behind it but I felt addicted to it so I'm trying to stop. Gives me more time to do other stuff at least.

I don't like attaching labels to actions (or in this case, inactions), but no porn is genuinely a thing. If I recall correctly, the guys who run Your Brain on Porn (which inspired someone to create nofap) simply recommended not watching porn.

I'd recommend you simply do as you are and focus on things other than porn. Actively trying not to watch porn will inevitably lead you to watch porn.

I can't relate to the side effects, because you're simply not watching porn but still jerk off. Whenever I broke a nofap streak, porn or not, I'd inevitably focus on not fapping, meaning that I can't relate to simply jerking off without porn. Lot of noporn guys on Veeky Forums, you could ask them.

Go for a run. Go to the gym. Watch some non-sexual show on TV or Netflix. Take a cold shower (that really helps). Tidy up your room.

There's other stuff to do. Pornography was simply a distraction, and you must focus on make your life excellent. This means that your life has no place for distractions.

*making. Shit, need to get some sleep to keep the modest gains I've made this week.

>She

ye. prostate cancer odds be damned it builds my self-discipline and self-respect

Seriously, not a meme. If you can't go a week without watching pr0n, you should especially try it.

Fapping isn't as serious, but should still be avoided to have maximum efficiency.

no fap is literally for cucks
if you feel bad after watching porn i feel bad for you lmao, porn is great
sex is great too. both are great and only a selfcuck nofap faggot thinks he needs to sacrifice one for the other

Yeah, man. I was in a seminary and I couldn't fap. Frequently got nocturnal emissions, you know. Priests made me apologize to Jesus every time, chanting Hail Mary and all that stuff.

Day 5.
This is usually when I fail, tell myself why should I deprive myself of the only pleasure I have in life and so forth.
But fuck it, fuck myself, I dont deserve it, and maybe there is a little chance this is actually good for me.
Also why not, fuck it, I might discover after 10 days I go monk mode and reach enlightenment, why not try, I wanna see what happens

my libido was already low as fuck the last period before I started nofap.
I am curious to see if it will go up or down.
I wouldnt mind completely shutting it off

fags

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR BROS DOING NOFAP:

Don't watch porn, DEFINITELY do not edge, and try not to purposely give yourself boners through fantasies and lewd images ect. If you're on no fap but you're still thinking about sexual shit a lot then you're not going to get nearly as much of the rebooting effect and you'll probably fail or just get blue balls or frustrated.

>tfw I always just take a look at porn a few days into nofap and fail

I would get rid of internet entirely but I need it for work and to pay bills.

2-3 times a week and you are fine.

I've done multiple nofaps and noporns including a 90 nofapnoporn.
The fapping isn't a big deal but noporn actually does increase libido. However going nofap with noporn for a lenghty time like the 90 days I did will eventually reduce your libido will go to monkmode where you don't actually get turned on by anything anymore. So everything in moderation Veeky Forums

my longest streak was somwhere around 290 days

after the first month or so your entire mentality changes, your sexual energy can be constructive instead of misdirected through fapping and porn and negative emotions. you start feeling like you could have a real gf and even if you have desires or impulses you feel full control over them and dont let them influence you, thus a more perfect balance of body mind and spirit, self control and self discipline

i personally noticed my ability to learn and retain information was much improved, i remembered many details about events and conversations with absolute certainty and thus had more confidence in myself

no brain fog, better sleep, sometimes random moments of euphoria or mental clarity, achieved goals and had better workouts...

but you can't cheat. if you look at porn, touch your dick sexually(edgeing) or start flooding your mind with lewd thoughts you will stay in a limbo state where nothing really is happening. this is why so many betas on here complain about it not working, i guarantee they didnt follow the program properly. millions of teenagers fallen into this habit at a young age and become fixated on sex and fapping is not the true way to act out your sexuallity. its like a kid who you give candy. he wont stop eating it if you tell him the consequences. it just feels amazing so we keep doing it(fapping.) so when someone experiences true nofap it is a liberating feeling. for the first time your mind is not fixated on getting a nut. im not on a streak now so the contrast between these two states of mind is very stark in my mind. right now im not depressed but lacking all the positive emotions and motivation i had when on nofap. after a couple weeks of dedication, everything really starts feeling better in your life. its worth doing, but you cant cut corners and its hard to accomplish at first. if you do however, you will truly ascend to a new level in life

so watching another man fucking a woman isn't being a cuck?

Meme/placebo or not, it gives me better sleep and makes me more social. Worth it just for that IMO.

This x1000

Nofap really helps

It is if they aren't slutty.
It isn't if they are slutty.

Rolling for no fap days I guess

I can't fucking stop
>be me
>porn addicted
I use vine to watch porn, cause i don't like see a man dick, i only watch girls solos.

Stay strong, comrade. It's worth it.

almost three weeks into a nofap/noporn streak. sex drive has been completely gone for almost two weeks. not sure why i'm doing this anymore. going to go 30 days just to prove i have the willpower and then reevaluate.

As a former nofapper I can confirm it's a meme.
I didn't touch my dick for 2 months and I felt alot better about almost every aspect of my life.
And then I started fapping again and nothing changed.
I still don't watch porn though.

Guys, if you're interested in nofap, just do noporn instead, it's way better and that way you still get to relieve yourself sexually.
Only a very, VERY small percentage of men are addicted to masturbating, but almost every man watches too much porn.
I haven't lost a single benefit of nofap since I've started fapping again, I really think noporn is the magic ticket out of autismtown.

rolling here too
i did about 3 month o nofap 2 years ago and i got blueballs tho

Tell me more

I'm on day 90, my goal is a 100. (I'm pretty sure I'll make it, but I'm still thinking about what to do after it)
How often do you fap?
What do you think about when you fap?

I fap when I feel like it, that can mean twice in a day or twice in a week.
Normally I fap around twice a week though.
I don't really think about anything when I fap.
Except for the times where I'd seen da booty in yogapants, of course.

>I don't really think about anything when I fap.
last time I tried noporn I couldn't even keep a boner without replaying POV porn in my head
maybe I'll be able to after 100 nofap, I'm guessing the point is to relieve only your body.

thank you for your input

Sure thing m8, I'd get a bucket ready if I were you.
There's no way you won't be able to jizz without porn after 100 days of total abstinence.
How is your libido by the way?

>I did this thing and it worked
>then I stopped and it didnt anymore
>hence this thing doesnt work
gee

I think it's on the low side. I try my best to stay away from anything provocative because the tiniest thing can break my nofap, from experience. I used to jerk off multiple times a day, but these days I can go days without thinking about sex.

>you start feeling like you could have a real gf

No fap has somehow made me want a GF even less.

Reading must be hard for you.
I stopped, and I kept every benefit.

My libido fucking tanked after a while, which is what made me stop nofapping in the first place.

If you masturbate more than once a week, I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are addicted to porn.

Masturbation is already a degenerate trait as is with no benefits to the human body or psyche. In fact, studies continue to show the links between masturbation and depression.

As it says in the bible,

1 Corinthians 7
>8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.
>9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

>In fact, studies continue to show the links between masturbation and depression.
Source?

then why do you say it's a meme, you fucking dork.
saying "and nothing changed" is grossly ambiguous. learn to write

>i didn't understand it so it must be poorly written
I didn't realise I was talking to a child.

The fap portion of nofap is definitely a meme.
People have been masturbating for eons, now it's suddenly bad for you?
Top fucking kekm8.
Also, do you think Chad does nofap?

no, people have been taking women by the hair and raping them every time they had a slight urge.
you son of a cunt, chad has sex with your oneitis when he gets horny

correlation =/=causation famalo

I'm sorry for bursting your bubble and fucking up your placebo m80

...

It is. Each of your biological cycles require a constant rate of flow, else they whither. Though it is true that it is a form of escapism, like alcoholism etc, and is to be pitied as such

How is fapping when you're horny escapism?

you are retarded, congratulations

No fap is.
No porn is not a meme. Fapping without porn doesn't give your brain unrealistic expectations.

>facebook filename
What the fuck are you even doing?

>liking to see man's head
>not liking to see man's dick
Are you gay?

On day 4 of a 5 day test run and I feel like I'm in heat.

>mfw day 7
After that your libido goes down considerably though.

>My libido fucking tanked after a while
But that's how nofappers win, you silly kitten.

Hopefully. I'm going from 3-5x a day to none and it's definitely an experience.

Hey guys what's going on in this thread?

post a qt anime boy next time, faggot

>win
Turning yourself into a semi-eunuch isn't what I'd call winning.

Depression and masturbation is like depression and eating. Everyone needs to eat a couple or three times a day because that's normal, but depressed motherfuckers stuff their fat faces nonstop. It's the same for jerking it. Normal people jerk once or twice a day and that's normal and good. Depressed motherfuckers shut themselves off from the world and wank it nonstop because they have no other way of making themselves feel good.

It's all about the difference between healthy maintenance and being addicted to pleasure stimuli.

The biggest joke is that the previous poster fully agrees with you.

>Depression and masturbation is like depression and eating
Eating food confirmed for making people depressed
