Does nofap work?

This is true. I dont understand how this isn't common knowledge by now.

>I dont understand how this isn't common knowledge by now.
Because your typical garden-variety troll just wants to fuck up other anons then laugh at their misfortunes.

Nofap is not positive for me. I'll be sexually frustrated for about a week and then after I will slowly subside into a state of herbivore man where I'm less interested in sex and chasing women, more emotional, and have a harder time keeping it up.

This is how I spent the first 20 years of my life prior to figuring out how to actually fap.

million dollar question right here

if your goal is to stop fapping, then it works like a charm

>does nofap work?
Just do no porn if you want to quit. Fapping's fine.
And, this.

>fapping is fine
>porn is bad tho
Never understood this

The problem is novelty. You can fap to 10 of the hottest bitches in the world at the same time from any angle in 4k hd. It stimulates the pleasure centers in a way not even real sex can. If you watched the same porn video everyday and only fapped to that then there would be no problem. The problem is binging on porn with 50 different tabs open.

This.

....would you Veeky Forums?

Fapping's fine and very healthy for you. And although viewing it's inconsistent with addiction models:
>researchgate.net/publication/278037398_Modulation_of_late_positive_potentials_by_sexual_images_in_problem_users_and_controls_inconsistent_with_porn_addiction
;Porn can lead you down rabbit holes if you ignore actual women for it, have 24 hr S&M marathons of it instead of meeting women,etc.And if you really think you have an issue with it, it's time to have some extended one on one time with your fapping habits instead of your computer being apart of your faps. Paleobate and fap mto women you see, etc. instead of hardcore stuff. Being aroused by sexually imagery is natural though, it's sex and when you see it your body/brain tells you to get spreading you're genes. If you really need visual help for a fap vanilla's fine. It's the weird fucked up shit, binge sessions that aren't

You tell me OP. How's it working out for you.

Then quit porn, There's no need to retardedly and pseudoscientifically demonize fapping, and you can look for women and fap. You don't need to sperg out and make them mutually exclusive and fapping won't negativelty affect your health or your success with women

Took me 3 months of nofap to be able to climax from vaginal sex after 13 years of porn addiction.

Because it's bullshit bro science and doesn't take into account anything about your hormones. Nofap is a real thing. I had my blood because my dick checked because it wasn't working properly and the doc says my prolactin was unusually high. Prolactin is released after you cum and if you do it all the time it cam affect you long term. After I stopped flapping for just over a week I got it tested again and it was normal. Nofap is real and people who pretend it isn't have either done zero research or have no idea how into interperet data properly.

>I had my blood because my dick checked because it wasn't working
*I had my blood checked because my dick wasn't working...

I'm tired lol

I would now

Just cut out hardcore porn and save it for fapping.

Looking at pics of naked women and fapping 2-3 times a week is fine.

You probably have some weird condition then. For most people fapping 3 times a week without any sort of porn or outside stimulation will not fuck up their hormones.

>Because it's bullshit bro science
It's definitely isn't
>and doesn't take into account anything about your hormones.
And you didn't either if you're going to argue that how your hormones, fapping and prolactin work
>en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolactin
> Nofap is real and people who pretend it isn't have either done zero research or have no idea how into interperet data properly.
Take that up with all of the scientists who have interpreted the data about fapping and agree that it's healthy for you. I'm sure you know more than they do and it was all misnterpreted data, expecially for the study I posted published this year with a ten year follow up

that forehead though

nmust no..t...faaap....

The only thing nofap works at is exposing the virgins who need to do whatever they can to try to explain why they dont get girls

If you have a porn addiction, are desensitized from deathgrip or you jerk off too often to the point it is affecting your life then yes, nofap works. Otherwise noporn is the real way to go, porn is the thing doing the real damage, not jerking off.

>people fapping 3 times a week.

Obviously nofap isn't for them. I thought it was implied nofap was for people who wank at least once a day

I do nofap and I get girls. I enjoy sex a hell of a lot more now than when I used to jerk off and watch porn.

Same.

Nofap is huge for me. I only got into hardcore porn briefly but my issues stem from over masturbation. I can get off around 10 times whenever I masturbate so I truly believe my chemical levels are off since I've done this for 15 years. It's not for people who don't overdo it.

>how into interperet data properly.
>Take that up with all of the scientists who have interpreted
Should probably note I was talking about people who fap at least one daily, not people who fap just a few times a week. I thought that was obvious

I still have weeks when i fap every day. After about 5-7 days i stop focusing on tits and cunts, but i still can get an erection. I wouldn't say it's a good thing though.

Tfw can't do nofap cause wife milks me every day

>tfw just did no-fap for about 9 days
>decided to masturbate because who the fuck cares, I didn't notice any differences
>5 thick creamy white ropes of cum shoot out almost to chest height, followed by 3-4 more spurts that dribble out and run down my balls

I swear if I had shot that raw into a girl I probably would have gotten her pregnant.

I can't imagine how much cum shoots out of guys who do this for like 2+ weeks. I mean I assume there's a maximum amount but still

nofap is one of the biggest memes on the planet

>I thought it was implied nofap was for people who wank at least once a day
>Should probably note I was talking about people who fap at least one daily, not people who fap just a few times a week. I thought that was obvious
There's no reason to limit your faps, especilly not to once a week. You can fap multiple times a week, and day, and be fine

>You can fap multiple times a week, and day, and be fine
No shit. But if you can't then you should do nofap

...

how do you guys even find porn to masturbate to? i mean i masturbate like once a week and just have the same 2-3 videos i watch basically.

i cant even fathom how you can sit there and find any porn among the endless amount of choices. whats the name of that phenomenon where if you are overloaded with choices its actually harder to make a decision? i feel like most guys will sit around for half an hour trying to find a good porn video

>But if you can't then you should do nofap
Are you the same guy that keeps implying that fapping multiple times a day is an addiction when it clearly isn't.
>desuarchive.org/fit/thread/39588719/#39592895

I like the multi creampie videos where 21 dudes just bust mad nuts into a freaky white bitch until her pussy is just flooded with cum. No homo

>tfw always fap to solo women

Best faps in the world.

Besides, i can't bring myself to watch some dude fuck while i'm sitting with my dick in my hand desu.

No but if you if you keep masturbating when it's doing physical and/or psychological damage to you then you are addicted. Not sure what that has to do with the argument

Yes it works, but i used a slightly modded method i came up with

So first i did a month of nofap/noporn to get a reset

Then after that, no porn/ and 1-2 faps a week max with no vids, pics anything just mind.

The key problem is too much porn

If u cant make it throught nofap/no porn 1 month

then just do no porn and 1-2 faps a week, should help quite a bit

dude at one point I had a terabyte with almost every hd inthecrack video ever made. I could watch them for hours

>thinking you don't get anything from overcoming and controlling sexual desire

"nofap is a meme!!" fags are just people who failed no fap. and/or dont understand the discipline to it. fact. It's like quitting fast food, soda, or anything of the sort. You won't be a completely different person without, but still a better one.

Noporn works

noporn is the real solution. the issue with nofap is that people automatically (rightfully) equate masturbating with NEEDING to be watching porn to do it.

there is nothing inherently wrong with masturbating. the problem is when you can search for porn for your ideal woman in looks, race, fetish, sex situation, etc and then if every other woman in real life doesnt match up then you have to desire for them

Nofap is a meme, noporn is legit

We have these no fap threads a billion times over but this post right here has the valid answer that seems to get ignored every time.

back to Veeky Forums

the reason it gets ignored is because the nofap retards cannot separate the two ideas, fapping and porn, and think about them individually

they cut the porn out, and cutting out the porn directly leads to not fapping. but instead of correlating any changes they experience to

>hey, not watching porn is causing me to not want to masturbate, and it is improving things, therefore not watching porn has caused this!

they instead say

>durr hey im not fapping and its improving therefore its not fapping casing this and absolutely nothig else!

>vanilla's fine
No, it's not. You watch a dude fuckign a woman. Makes you a cuck basically. Also there's the thing of constant visual stimulation by 50 different vids per fap

But this is wrong. Fapping results in actual hormone release whereas watching porn doesn't. It's the fapping part that affects you, not the porn watching part. If you watch porn and don't fap nothing happens to you, but if fap to nothing but your imagination you can still overstimulate your hormone release and cause long term effects. Noporn is missing the point if not fapping which is not muh confidence but literal erectile incompetency due to hormone imbalance. Noporn doesn't exist

>No, it's not. You watch a dude fuckign a woman. Makes you a cuck basically.
You can quit all porn if you want to. but vanila's ok if you really need visual simulus for a fap. You don't have to sperg out everytime you see a naked pic or normal sex scence and get aroused, hard or fap. And note I said if you really need some visual help. Like I said before arousal by visual stimulus is normal, it's sex. If there are a couple times you see it and get horny or need some visual help, it won't kill you. If you have real watching-fucked-up-shit problems, it might be best for you to just quit all porn. If you need help and it's just once in a blue moon type deal as your paleobating or something like that; it's not going to kill you or be the end of the world

It's about adaptation to hormonal trends.

Masturbation is good for you, it keeps testosterone levels within healthy bounds, while maintaining your libido. That said, you really don't naturally need to masturbate all that much. Some people with very high libidos might do it every day, but more likely it will be once every few days. Pornography artificially reduces your libido because it trains association, and constant ejaculation keeps you off of natural arousal cycles.

Keep masturbating, but do it only when you're browsing at home and start to feel turned on, and then don't do it with pornography, just fantasize about someone or something.

>watching porn doesn't.
it does. It's called dopamine and prolonged high levels apparently fuck up your dopamine reward circuits. If permanently or not and at what level I would like to see some research done on that. Some say it's on morphine level, but do they mean that in an instant when you cum or constantly while watching porn?

>fapping leads to hormone imbalance

Alright buddy

However, watching porn can become a habit, and artificially generates arousal. There's less initiative to masturbate if you simply aren't aroused in the first place. Some people will use pornography as a crutch to access masturbation.

Come on, man. That's sounds exactly like what a demon would say to convince someone to watch porn. "it's not that bad", "you can do it if it's only that"... Sorry, I thought it was funny

That's because it's functionally similar to what addicts do to convince other people not to quit. The notion that someone else is better than them is subconsciously frustrating, so they try to justify their activity. "Don't quit man, just cut down. Try some easier stuff". "Alright man, we won't party so much, but let's still get some beers downtown every now and then".

The truth is that inevitably it won't work that way. You either stop or you will slowly slide back down to whatever you were into before. Trying to stick to vanilla porn is a good way to START quitting it altogether, but not an endpoint whatsoever.

Stop being reasonable asshole. I want to indulge in a degenerate habit and feel good about it

>Fapping results in actual hormone release whereas watching porn doesn't. It's the fapping part that affects you, not the porn watching part.

>Noporn is missing the point if not fapping which is not muh confidence but literal erectile incompetency due to hormone imbalance.
Fapping doesn't give you ed and if it it did one of the benefits of fapping wouldn't improve circulation and it couldn't successfully treat ED
>sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0005791678900940

You know what will feel a lot fucking better than that mang?

When your libido kicks back up out of its rut, you get more alpha emotionally, and you start getting some real pussy (or ass if you swing that way) instead of your hand.

...

I was being sarcastic you autist

I think theres benefit to not doing it but not that bullshit

Tried nofap before. I made it 13 days in my longest streak. I could never stay on it though. My prostate would hurt and then I'd relapse in a huge porn binge.

I've been trying no porn for a week as it's much easier and I've noticed a lot of the same benefits as nofap. I was excited when I could actually get it up without porn. The benefits I've noticed more clarity, more drive, and more desire to do shit. I also noticed I find things more enjoyable probably due to the fact my brain hasn't spent all its dopamine on porn.

The one con no one ever talks about though is that ALL your emotions will be amplified. If I get lonely or depressed, it feels a lot worse.

Yes nofap will give you better results and speed things up, but porn is the real problem. Stop jerking it to porn and you find yourself fapping less.

rude

I know, but there are people who legitimately have that mentality. "Oh, it feels good and it's not that bad, what's wrong with me doing it" is the start of every single bad habit we can make.

Also you have to be careful online. I ended up fapping to youtube last night which isn't helping my recovering. Yes it's way tamer than the shit I was into, but it's still not good.

>That's because it's functionally similar to what addicts do to convince other people not to quit.

Oh so you're the guy that keeps implying fapping's an addiction and fapping multiple times makes you an addict
>I want to indulge in a degenerate habit and feel good about it
There 's no reason to demonize fapping

Why did I have ed and then stop having ed when I stopped fapping then?

Not fapping, pornography, but even then I'm only talking about it being in function. Low-effort reward loops are the biggest obstacles to making improvements in your life. Things like video games, masturbation, sex (though that's part of a relationship which is important so only casual sex is really an issue), drugs, alcohol, and food are reward loops where low effort provides a larger morale boost. Breaking those loops, or at least learning to get them mostly under control, is an integral part of becoming the better person you work so hard to be.

Masturbating is fine, but if you masturbate multiple times a day, or even just every day, it can start to become a dangerous habit that breaks your libido's natural cycle, in addition to affecting hormones. Masturbating when you have privacy and are aroused naturally (which is inevitably not everyday) not only leads to a better per-session experience, it's also just healthier.

It's not "demonizing fapping" anymore than saying "Eating six big macs will make you fat" is demonizing food. Masturbation is healthy and natural, masturbating constantly because it just makes you feel good is very UNHEALTHY, and prevents healthy emotional development.

This should be to this

Because your most likely doing a mix of this along with it being low test or a number of other things but fapping does not work the way this user wants to insinuate nor does it cause ed. Nor did it give you yours

>Masturbating is fine, but if you masturbate multiple times a day, or even just every day, it can start to become a dangerous habit that breaks your libido's natural cycle, in addition to affecting hormones
It increases libido and doesn't fuck up your hormones
>It's not "demonizing fapping" anymore than saying "Eating six big macs will make you fat" is demonizing food.
Eating 6 big macs will make you fat. Masturbating multiple times will no ill effects on you.
>Masturbation is healthy and natural, masturbating constantly because it just makes you feel good is very UNHEALTHY
Masturbations supposed be a pleasant experience and make you feel good. That what's orgasms do. It not addiction forming or a drug
>and prevents healthy emotional development.
And it doesn't do this

masterbaiting once in a while is totally ok, that said i think that different level pf suboptimal sex-experiencing aare very wide spread aamong male population cause of porn. if you quit porn and fapping everyday, and you give yourself from 3 weeks to three months of no ejaculation and no porn (that should be avoided at all) you'll experience best sex of your life, increased libido and you'll be more assertive, more aggressive, and more confident. Also, even better, get into tantric sex and learn how to become pluriorgasmic and dryorgasming.

Fapping and cumming is the highlight of my day.

No
THe study people refer too gives a small peak after 7 days. Which does nothing for your muscles AND it declines after that.

Any excuse is good to stop torturing your peanut.

Fuck off Schlomo.

Look up "povwars valerie". Shit's amazing

hang yourself you cookie cutter porn addict degenerate, you're everything wrong with today's society

is this jlaw?

Assuming occasional masturbation is ok, but porn isn't, where does online RP stand? Assuming it's just your own fantasies

>paleobate

Primal humans did not and do not masturbate.

don't think we are still primal humans m8

Most of it is literally placebo.

ie.
It does definitely fuckin work as long as you let it/believe it will work

If you jack off too much, you lower your dicks sensitivity.. by jacking less, your sensitivity goes up.

I'm addicted to fapping while high on meth or coke... The gaps are INSANELY pleasureable, but I feel that it is taking its toll on my cognitive function now.

Going to eliminate every drug except weed for a whole year starting Jan 1st.
On my word...

Riddle me this Veeky Forumsizens.

I've pretty much literally fapped every single day, sometimes twice a day for the past 10ish years. Just was forcibly exited from a many year long relationship (aka dumped), my sex drive in said relationship was leaps and bounds higher than my gf and as the years went on my 'needs' became more intense and got into the whole bbc/size queen roleplay pretty big time which was a 50/50 split whether my gf was massively into it or was just doing it to make me happy (which was frustrating in itself). Got a few pretty darn large dildos that she used and mixed it in to the roleplay but she only ever wanted to use the more 'average' of the lot and not the larger ones due to the material stinging her vagoo but was adamant a big dick would not have the same issue.

Going on a bit of a tangent here but the point I'm trying to get across is my sexual views have skewed almost exclusively (ok, exclusively) into me fapping to chicks taking huge black dicks and I know that it was a sore spot for my ex gf in the last few months of my relationship, So what I'm saying is, I guess noporn would be the right way to go for me? As hard as it will be.

I was lucky to find a girl who was even slightly into what I was into and the next girl would hopefully have a sex drive and dirty mind to equal mine rather than me constantly wanting but if not I'm probably going to sabotage it by freaking the girl out (I mean honestly, how do you even find this shit out about a person until you're well deep into a relationship? I wish I could be upfront about it but that's just not the done thing in society as shitty as it is not finding peoples kinks out until AFTER you're emotionally invested and have to either go without/do things you don't want to).

I'm ashamed of myself for how deep down the rabbit hole I've gone but I'm not sure where to go from here, embrace it and be with a girl who loves that shit or push it deep inside and never truly be sexually/mentally satisfied?
