/nfg/ - No Fap General

If I fap again within the next two weeks I'm going to put my balls in a vice and give the handle a full twist

>Posting webms like that
>In NoFap

What a fag

I'm doing nofap until I die or get laid whichever comes first wish me luck

Why would you fap again if you got laid?

Youre gonna start having wet dreams again after a couple days. Maybe a week or two. Just be aware of that.

The point of NoFap is to make yourself so busy/caught up with productive shit (IE, not shitposting on a taiwanese ice skating board) that you don't have the time to jack off.

Similarly temptation will always be around you. Do you binge eat junk food when you're trying to get fit? No? Same principle applies.

Self-control is key.

I assume everyone practicing in this thread is following the lunar calendar and diet requisites for no fap to be effective, right?

the wet dreams are supposed to go away after a month or two or three

Oh God not this again

I might do it, just for the wet dreams.

Because the point is to remove temptation. Stop fapping at watching porn, start looking at women like people. You eventually don't look at women like just sex objects anymore, and it makes you a better person. Increased testosterone but still having a fucked mental state is the worst of both worlds

Tfw wet dreams never came around

Is there a way to stop wet dreams? Its hampering my gainz, I don't want to cum again until I get married, likely in the next 2 years.

That's correct user, the point is to remove temptation.

But understand we live in a world of temptation and you must know how to maintain an iron resolve.

Not pigging out / eating healthier in general improves my sleep though :^)

Lately I've been going a couple of days at a time and I'm so tired I sleep anyway

Just here 4 teh lulz, I dropped porn but not fapping for too long gives scrotal pain that triggers my hypochondria

Removing temptation by not looking at women as sex objects anymore. How does looking at near nude women help that at all?

>abstain through the pain

what effects

>How does looking at near nude women help that at all?

Who said anything about this near nude woman being a sex object? She just so happens to be taking a suggestive picture.

Doesn't mean you have to fap to it.

>usually fap on off days
>off day is tomorrow
>khv shut-in surrounded by insane qt's at uni
I started at the beginning of the month but I don't know if I'll make it. Why even bother? What's the real benefit? Everyone I asked called it a retarded meme that makes you crave sex by being more social, but that would ruin me as I'm a borderline hermit.

You only understand once you actually do it. For me, better gainz, better focus, better relationships.

>Workouts are a lot more effective
>19x more confident around women
>No porn induced ED
>Drive to actually get a woman and HD a relationship
>No more brain fog

There's also no reason to do that tho. It only delays no longer looking at women like sex objects

Forgive me Veeky Forumsizens for I have sinned.

Just fapped because I'm running out of ways to put off writing the last 200 words of this paper. Prior to this i was about 8 days strong

A few studies collected to posit changes in androgen receptor density when abstinent from masturbation.

Idiots.

tl;dr

Day 4 here

Do you prefer to believe this forum poster's dubious science over YBOP's dubious science, because it pleases your worldview?

No, it's because it's actual science.

And still more science there than all of No Fap

No fap will help you fix your life as much as lifting helped you get gf and friends

I'm currently reading Philip Zimbardo's Man Disconnected and he talks a lot about how porn and masturbation is crippling today's young males.

Sorry dude, but I'm taking the former president of APA more seriously than you and these blog posts that you saved.

Day 1. I really need this. :/

>tfw can't sleep without cumming before

Day 2. Didn't even intend to start this up again (made it 5 days like 2 months ago) but hey, fuck it.

>Do you prefer to believe this forum poster's dubious science over YBOP's dubious science
Find me a source for YBOP's claims that isn't from the people at YBOP.

>tfw no big titted asian tranny gf

iktf

>Sorry dude, but I'm taking the former president of APA more seriously than you and these blog posts that you saved.
Then you and he both fell for a pseudoscientific meme. Just because some guy wrote a book with bullshit in it doesn't make it true. Psuedosxience by a famous person's still pseudo science. A lot of people believed in phrenology and that differnt races of humans were different species, wasn't based in science and wasn't true

I'm not saying I believe YBOP, I'm saying this forum post is completely unreliable as well, so it didn't just "BTFO" nofap.

Does sex count as fapping?

I got to the 6th day, I didn't have any urges but I ended up watching porn cause I was exhausted, ill, and bored.

Things I noticed:
>Faster beard growth
>way more talkative than usual
>don't randomly think about sex throughout the day
>as for lifting, didn't feel much of a difference in strength but had more stamina

I will try again, those 6 days were during a week break from uni so it was hard mode. Uni has started again so I should get better results.

effects, not affects. Replace the word with alters and see if it works. Effects is a noun, affect is a verb.

There are secondary definitions and uses for both words, but fuck off.

just stop. cut off as much porn as you can (blockers on your browser, etc) and just stop.

You're literally arguing in favour of a thing (mass internet porn) that simply didn't exist 20+ years ago.

The effects are clearly not accounted for yet, we'll never know how fucked it or not fucked up it's making people. So why argue AGAINST nofap?

You're stuck, and you're desperate. It's okay, just don't pull us into it.

>mfw day 3

Wait...are you SERIOUSLY not following the diet and lunar activities?? Are you even consuming your semen for three days prior AS IS NECESSARY for nofap to work???

>So why argue AGAINST nofap?
Because fapping has been proven to be perfectly healthyand fine for you. There's nothing wrong with it.
>You're stuck, and you're desperate.
I'm neither and you're projecting
>It's okay, just don't pull us into it.
Don't like the truth, don't whine on about your pseudoscience.

why the fuck would anyone actually do this?

Havent fapped since 12th of october, its pretty good I feel with way more energy more confident, my sttuter in public improved a lot, lifts going up, and its nice to have random erections if I get distracted by nasty thoughts

*12th of september

Not with so much porn. Nothing's been proven either way but conjecture and safe assumptions can say that it might be better to hang off until studies can verify its effects.

This is your brain and your life we're talking about. Well, not yours, but everyone's.

It has very little to do with science or pseudoscience, and I understand THAT angle of criticism, but the fact is that it's better to encourage people to practice self-discipline in every aspect of their lives. If they feel like their porn and fapping use should go down, then that's good. Let them try it.

Why do you have to shit on other people's decisions and convictions?

Just noticed I haven't masturbated in 5 days thanks to you, OP. Gues I'll go on and see how far I can take this.

>Why do you have to shit on other people's decisions and convictions?
Because they spam those decisions and convictions like it's fucking fact all over this board. If you don't want intelligent people to call you out on your bullshit, don't whine and bitch about said bullshit in the first place and try to convince others it's legitimate. You've earned every bit of the shit you've gotten.

>There is a single nofap thread amongst all the hightest, fatHate, spam, memes, and garbage on this message board
>and I hate it

No one is whining and bitching. And nobody who matters ever calls themselves intelligent you child. Grow up.

>Implying women aren't sex objects

Whether they are or are not, you're going to have to interact with them in a non-sexual way no matter what.

Got off porn about 8 weeks ago, wasn't really doing it for the benefits, just wanted to get back in touch with God (Not a whopping christfag or anything just trying to introduce it back into my life, grew up Christian but have a lot of reservations on mainstream faiths) anyways that's not the point.

So yeah been off the fap train for like 8 weeks, with four or five slip ups, after those slip ups I did actually feel like garbage but I had slept bad all of those nights so maybe symptom more than cause.

As far as effects, I'm at the point now where I'm able to talk to women and not stress over them too much, girl who Id been speaking to got back with her ex and apologized, not even fucking mad which is REALLY weird because usually that shit would have decimated my life. I'm also actually having urges to ask a couple of customers who mire at work out, I'm not quite there yet but it feels like it's 70-80% of the way, definitely doable.

Besides female interaction I also feel more level headed and less anxious, although I cut out gluten and went semi paleo (No gluten, no lactose, very little sugar) about the same time I dropped the porn cause I found out I was coeliac so that may have something to do with it.

All aside I really dont feel sexually repressed or anything, just normal healthy male with atavistic breeding urges sort of thing. Id say no fap is definitely important as a detox but I dont think it needs to be militant and if youre going to do it for fucks sake do cardio and kegels too so you don't bust your nut in 0.4 seconds when you finally get it in

I've been doing 7 days streaks, pretty satisfied with the low masturbation rate. I really like the semen conservation aspect and even abstinence. But it is true, I am one of those fags who are scared to socialize and i'm insecure. So I think my brain just attaches itself to nofap and abstinence, because it means I don't have to open up to no one since the search for a companion is neglected.

I don't wanna be like that. I want to be a balanced normal guy. Someone who'll masturbate once a week, like a normal guy. Someone who will go out and be himself. I feel like masturbation is not the root problem, it is just an expression of my bitchass insecure mind.

There's two. And there were more yesterday.

>No one is whining and bitching.
No fappers are bitching about their psuedoscience, other anons are bitching about low test. And your bitching to me that I'm hurting other people's and your feelings with science and facts.
>And nobody who matters ever calls themselves intelligent you child. Grow up.
>Referring to yourself and other people who critically think as intelligent means you're a child.
>I'll use shaming language a la feminism and tell some user to grow up because I get butthurt whenever anyone presents facts to me and know I'm wrong.
