What are the benefits of no fapping? Like walk me through what happens over time if I abstain from fapping. Like say, over the course from a week or 2, then a month or few months and maybe even a year without masturbation. Sex being the exception, of course.
Just curious

i don't understand the whole hullaballoo about fapping vs no fap. i watch porn 2-3 times a week and still have a healthy sex life and libido. hell, i fapped to porn before work, and a coworker was tailing me for different reasons, starting conversations, and every time she got near me i got a chub, i thought maybe it was the way she smelled, but something about her presence physically incited a half boner and huge spike in libido. i think if you're masturbating so much that you're venturing into obscure weird porn or more than 4 times a week, then you become complacent. but regardless of how much i fap a week to porn, usually 3 times at most, i still have the sex drive of a 18 year old and i'm 29.

I have heard a lot of people talk about how much more productive they are and how much energetic they are after so long of not fapping. I'm curious that maybe that could benefit me. Tbh honest, I watch porn almost every night of the week, but if abstaining from it can benefit me, I'm willing to give it a shot. I just want some personal testimonies.
Alexander Anderson
give it a try yourself. eventually you'll realize it's a placebo that desperate guys and jews trying to make money off of ad revenue come up with. but good luck buddy i wish you all the best
Jace Kelly
Look man, it all depends on the individual
I'm sure that what is true for him. I know plenty of guys (including my roommate) constantly look at porn and fap and yet can muster a still raging sex life
I am different. I am not going to touch any of the "science" on the subject. I can only speak from my EXPERIENCE
>First
In general I have found that I have more energy (short-term) when I do not fap. It's not like masturbating puts me in a 24-hour tired glaze. But for the following 2 hours after a fap I have no desire to talk to girls, workout, read, or be social
I'm not going to sit here and pretend that now all the sudden I have 24/7 superhuman energy just because I don't fap
>Second
Diamonds. When I was fapping I had really bad Erectile Dysfunction. I had a hard time getting up, and worse, staying up.
Today, I have no trouble with erections and I get aroused much more easily. I am literally diamonds and can stay diamonds for longer.
Just to be clear, it is all about the individual. I won't try to convince you that it's something you NEED to do. For me, it is a necessity. For others, it's just a meme
Do it for yourself and decide for yourself.
Final note:
>but user, what about masturbation without porn?
My answer:
"What is that?"
Christopher Robinson
Hahaha, sounds good guys. I really appreciate the input and I'm just going to have to try and just out of it and see for myself. I suppose I made the post because it sure can be challenging to go a few days without fap for me, much less a few weeks or even months. I'm 23 and sometimes I feel like I have no energy to do anything productive or particularly physical. I am just trying to constantly improve, but I feel like my current habits are keeping me in the same spot. I don't exactly have the highest metabolism and I have pretty bad depression. I just wish I could just really be motivated and energized so I can really feel like improving instead of just saying it.
Isaac Peterson
I'm on one month and I feel pretty great
Hunter Myers
Maybe it will have a positive effect on my depression/lack of motivation.
John Cooper
Just do it for a couple of weeks and see how you feel.
Samuel Davis
porn addict here, sometimes i fap like 4 times a day to porn, been doing that for a while, what i noticed is, while it doesnt deplete testosterone levels it tires me out. I havent been fappan for a week or so now and i feel much more energized and motivated. Constant fapping kills all motivation and it depletes zinc levels too.
Brandon Miller
I don't notice any physiological differences, but one of the things I did notice was that I became more productive because I started using my time differently. When I fap, I don't just whip my dick out, jerk off, and put it away all in the space of a five minutes. I browse through multiple videos until I find something I really like. I can easily spend over an hour watching porn without realizing it.
When you're at work all morning and afternoon and you don't get home until around 5pm, an hour of what remains of your day is a lot of time. That time spent watching porn could be extra time at the gym, or more time out socializing, or reading a good book, or keeping my house tidy, or cooking a good meal.
Basically, watching porn is time poorly spent. Do other things instead and if you get to a point where you've just kept it bottled up for too long, head to the bathroom for a quick fap with no visual aid and then get back to better things.

I'll be moving soon. I'm hoping being busy where I'll be will deter any urges that might spring up. I will be really busy with working and with music, and maybe I can manage to get a gf and cut it out for the most part, if not completely.
Oliver Diaz
>Basically, watching porn is time poorly spent.
Absolutely
Luke Collins
Here is the truth about it.
Not masturbating for a while does fuck all to your testosterone and really has no physiological benefit.
However, the idea is to motivate you to pursue women. Because you don't have the easy outlet, you will be more aggressive and be trapped in your head less.
Austin Diaz
>What are the benefits of no fapping?
None, basically. A very slight increase of testosterone at best.
Lincoln Adams
there are none, no fap is a meme, i have tried it.. nothing happens except you get real horny and have wet dreams
Austin White
Lol.
Nicholas Jackson
Why dont you fucking try it
>What are the benefits of pinching your arm? Walk me through what happens when I do it
Seriously why the fuck are you asking opinions on something that YOU COULD FIGURE OUT YOURSELF IN A WEEK
Nathaniel Smith
Bored and curious, honestly.
Jacob Robinson
It's all a lie.
Andrew Walker
Good answer. It's individual to everyone. Just figure out what is ideal for you. If you can't get hard, or "feel the hardness of your dick" (if I wank too much, my dick feels 'thinner', it's a real thing) and get aroused then you need to cut down. If you pop boners at the sight of a clothed woman with no sexual context then have a bat.
Xavier Peterson
Ionno, I think porn effects my libido. I just hanged with my girl, she's hot. But I didn't have any urge to have sex with her, I sent her home. Now my brain is craving porn. I'm going to do no-porn for a while.
Jaxson Davis
That guy is one ugly shit.
Brody Roberts
Anyway not fapping is good for self respect gains.
Robert Ramirez
You have post orgasmic illness syndrome. Google it and you might go down the road that will potentially change your life. Or stay miserable
Kayden Murphy
>what happens over time if I abstain from fapping
It feels way better when you give it a break every so often. Completely giving it up is retarded.
Cooper Hall
how do you cure this??
Kevin Rivera
There is no universal cure for pois and only way to know what helps to you is by experimenting.
What worked for kurtosis (he's a celebrity is pois comminity) and because of his posts I discovered that cause of my fatigue was fucked up methylation due to b12 and folate deficency so currently Im on freddd's protocol which is helping me a ton. It cured my general fatigue but I still have pois, the only difference is that now it lasts 1-2 days instead of 2 weeks like it used to.
This is how he cured his pois.
reddit.com
Other than that, what works for most people is taking 100-250mg of niacin (one that gives you flush) 30 min before an orgasm. That doesnt work for me but bombarding my body with antioxidants on the day of orgasm and when I cum I make sure to do it on an empty stomach and before bed.
Here is what works for some other people
poiscenter.com
I dont consider myself cured but this information was def life changing to me. I hope you find what works for you soon.
Lucas Lewis
would nofap help?
Jack Jenkins
Yah. You dont get symptoms unless you have an orgasm. But is that really how you want to spend rest of your life? How are you gonna maintain a healthy relationship with a girl if can only have sex one or twice a month and when you do have sex you feel like shit for days?
Go into the root issue of you POIS and try to fix that instead of relying on nofap or supplements every time you want to cum.
Eli Foster
Nofap has obvious effects on me, more confidence, happier, much better at talking to girls, get shit done, more testosterone stored=more gainz. The feeling of resisting the urge, knowing that Im disciplined enough to do what I said I would is glorious
