I really need help bros, and I don't know who else I could possibly ask. I'm three days into nofap and have lost my will to live. I don't even know where to start as my thoughts are all over the place and no matter how hard I try, I can't get them in order.
Three days is nothing, I know, I'll need to wait at least a month to see results, I know. I've gone a lot longer than that without porn or masturbating before, without even trying, without even thinking about it, because I just didn't get around to it. Now, since I'm making a conscious effort (not that it takes effort) to not look at porn or masturbate, I'm starting to question the point of it all. I'm not even horny, I don't feel the need to jerk off, but I've also lost the motivation to do anything else.
It might sound stupid, but back when I was masturbating whenever I wanted without a care, i.e. last Saturday, I was working out daily, had an active drive to be productive in any way I could, I was working towards realizing my dreams. Today, just three days later, I didn't pay attention in class and spent the rest of the day either in bed or in front of the computer. I tried playing a game to pass the time, but closed it after a couple of minutes, I tried to watch a movie, and paused it 5 minutes in, it's still paused there, hours later.
Is this normal, am I supposed to have an existential crisis when I first start nofap? I'll keep it up for a while, but I need to get myself back on track very quickly.
I was in 5 days nofap then i remembered that chubby girl and her giant ass , i did it, lad
I fapped 3 times that day

you can still watch porn, you just cant fap to it.
Ayden Stewart
Science says you can't, bombarding your brain with erotic audio-visual stimuli is just as bad as stimulating yourself physically. With different effects and for different reasons, but still as bad.
Kevin Thompson
My advice user? Stop doing nofap because it's stupid and has pretty much no/extremely minimal benefits. Do noporn instead. Literally 100% better for you and you won't even want to masturbate often.
This is the worst combination
Easton Peterson
>Stop doing nofap because it's stupid and has pretty much no/extremely minimal benefits. Do noporn instead. I don't think I could get hard right now, I'm too apathetic and depressed, even with porn. The last time I masturbated was to imagination alone btw, no problemo.
Austin Taylor
I have never used porn to fap, it always my imagination
Why watch porn?
Daniel Turner
I feel you. Had a six day streak about three days ago and my emotions were all over the place. I was generally depressed and too much thought was dedicated to a recent break up. If I were you I'd save fap time for AFTER work outs or even just for rest days. That way, you're benefiting from built up energy and testosterone but not driving yourself into a bad headspace.
Samuel Brooks
>built up energy and testosterone I haven't worked out since Saturday, I have no energy in me right now.
Benjamin Turner
Whats with the anti nofapthreads lmao ? Depressed from not fapping for three days? Sounds like ur lying and just want to fap just do it then dont make retarded threads.
Christian Cox
>that can't be right, you must be lying I wish there was a website like Veeky Forums but without the retards.
Blake Rivera
Pic related is literally the best advice I can give you at that stage, keep doing nofap as long as you can, it will get easier later on.

Not fapping is easy, everything else is getting impossibly hard for some reason.
Wyatt Thomas
>One week in to no fap >Driving aimlessly, smoking, listening to Start Again - Conrad Sewell >tears in eyes

Is there actually any benefit to no-fap? And if not, why do it? It's clearly negatively affecting you so why even continue?
Samuel Gutierrez
>Is there actually any benefit to living? And if not, why do it? It's clearly negatively affecting you so why even continue?
Ian Morgan
>smoking
literally worse than porn
Elijah Parker
You can't really trust anyone on the net with that question, best is to try it for yourself.
Jacob Perry
>nofap = life m8, if you actually believe this you've got bigger problems than jacking off
Asher Johnson
But like, is there any evidence to support the idea that not fapping does anything? Like, where did the idea originate?
Lucas Hernandez
i just beat it every 3 days
Adrian Lopez
Hey Veeky Forums new(ish) fag here. Im gonna be honest. Does no fap, in any way, have any general good/bad effects on a person? I know that it might be different for every person bit im asking because i have actually never fapped in my life. I shit you not when i say that i am 19 years old and have never fapped. Im not some beta fag and am actually a decent person with girls and all but i cant stand masturbating whether its guys or girls. I dont know if its a mental thing or some rare issue but om being honest with you guys. If you have questions for me feel free to ask. I may also post about a recent issue i am experiencing probably due to thisl.
Michael Hernandez
If it's that hard on day 3, you have a fucking problem m8, which means you just need to persevere until you fix it.
Aaron Russell
I used tons of NLP to stop the porn addiction and the results are excellent so far. I forgot to account for masturbation itself, I'll get to it soon.
Adam Reyes
>If it's that hard on day 3, you have a fucking problem m8 As I said, I've gone a lot longer before, 2 or 3 weeks at a time, but without thinking about it, I just didn't get around to doing it. And even now, I don't feel the urge to masturbate, but I don't feel the urge to do anything else either.
All the talk about increased energy and redirecting all the sexual energy, I'm not seeing it, I'm not feeling it, I've never had lower energy in my entire life.
Jayden Walker
Fapping once a week has proven to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. So why nofap?
Samuel Fisher
Well hey, a nofap thread seems as good a place to ask this as any.
I've actually been doing really well for myself recently in terms of eating right and exercising, and I'm definitely enjoying the gains, but it's come along with a problem I should have expected but didn't.
As a general rule I tend not to have dreams, just long periods of unconsciousness. Unfortunately, with the return of my muscular shape I'm also getting all my testosterone back.
I have had dreams every night for the past couple weeks, and every single one turns into a fuckdream. My date game is pretty goddamn weak, and I'm not super down for one night stands.
What's the solution here dudes? Just fap? It's kind of driving me nanners.
Kevin Lewis
Realize that real life will never compare to thoughts and dreams and that thinking about doing something is often times more enjoyable than actually doing it.
Dominic Smith
Honestly if you think some magical nofap will make you a better person you're wrong.
And fall for that shitty nofap brainwashing ive read like you will turn into a superman or get some pussy because that's bs and you know it.
You have too much free time and you have to get busy senpai

Jeremiah Jackson
WTF i didnt write that senpai at the end. Fucking hell im losing my brains people xD
Jonathan Thompson
being this new
Adrian Hill
>too much free time and you have to get busy I'm usually using my free time productively, but since Saturday I couldn't find the will to do my chores or work out.
I didn't expect nofap to have magical effects, but the science behind it appeared to be sound. youtube.com/watch?v=u4j2d7iLWsw

Sad desu senpai
Gabriel Morris
Dont listen to this. Everyone knows fapping leads to porn.
My best tip is to get a gf. Download tinder and get at it.
Luis Adams
>just get a gf bro Kys you are self.
Carson Davis
this is the opposite of what to do Do noporn and fap once a week to your imagination then once every 2 weeks. If your getting laid thats fine. If getting laid should not fap at all.
