Nofap general: superpowers are real edition

...

NoFap thread? Time to dump what I've got. As someone who did 4 months NoFap, here's my opinions on some commonly listed benefits.
1) Cures ED - I don't have ED, so I can't really comment outside of mentioning that I seem to get more embarrassing erections when fapping regularly than when on NoFap.
2) Increases libido - True for roughly the first 2 weeks, but past that absolutely not. In my experience long term NoFap totally kills your libido. After 3 weeks you'll no longer give a shit about anything sexual other than when you're in bed and your mind starts to drift or when something is going out of its way to tempt you.
3) Clearer mind/increased self-control - Yes, but not for the reasons you might've expected. The only reason that your self-control will increase on NoFap is because NoFap kills your libido and having a dead libido means that you have one less distraction.
4) Increases sensitivity - YES. After a week or two off you can easily cum in under 2 minutes. So easily in fact that it's hard not to, which makes for some really shit wanks.
5) Increased testosterone - Impossible for me to measure properly without any medical equipment but with everything Veeky Forums has told me about test in mind (e.g. increasing testosterone increases libido), I'm going to say no to this one.
6) More cum - Yes, but the amount of cum you have seems to reach its maximum after as little as 1 week. That's hardly NoFap.
7) More confidence/motivation/better social skills/attitude - Nope, the only thing I can think of on this end are issues that you may have within a few hours of fapping, like not being worried about the fact that you might smell of cum or have some on your face or something. I suspect that you'll only get these benefits if you're the type that's doing NoFap to encourage you to go out and get laid, although I must admit that I'm very tempted to agree with that "The NoFap Hoax" screenshot's "WHAT BETTER EXPLAINS THIS SO-CALLED INTERNET PORN PROBLEM?" section*.

I relapsed pretty hard this past few days, I'm starting a serious run on my birthday. I'm hopeful this one will be TEH URN.

*Speaking of that screenshot, if I've not included that with this text then tell me and I'll fix that.
8) Any other medical claims - I've got a list of Veeky Forums stuff to read on the subject. I'll get back to you when I've finished reading that.

As for downsides I've noticed while doing it, there's the following:
1) Your balls occasionally ache mildly and tend to stay extremely close to your dick even when the temperature isn't low.
2) If something goes wrong with your health while you're doing NoFap then by not ejaculating you've lost something that would've told a normal man to see a doctor. The best example I have of this is from my own experience, I had fucking blood in my cum after I broke my 4 months NoFap.

So what's my opinion on whether or not you should do NoFap?
1) If you're worried about your health then NoFap is not for you, keeping an eye on your reproductive system could save your life.
2) If you're a MGTOW or in any other position where you think that avoiding women and their charms is wise, NoFap might be for you - it's harder to be influenced by that sort of stuff when your libido is at rock bottom.
3) I'm increasingly suspecting that NoFap doesn't so much have benefits as that having an orgasm has detriments. It's well known that ejaculation makes a man feel tired and all of the chemical shit that cumming does to your brain is plenty to throw you off from say, being able to hold a conversation half an hour after you've jizzed. The only counterexample I have for this would be anyone who when not on NoFap gets so possessed by lust that they become incapable of doing anything other than attending to it, although in my opinion anyone in that position should seek help - they're probably not far off from their dick leading them to doing something they'll regret. Basically what I'm saying is that rather than doing NoFap, just be aware that masturbation isn't a good idea when you're not in a position to deal with the consequences.

Overall?
I'd say that it's best to just treat fapping as any other hobby, learn what it does to you and interact with it based on that. As for NoFap, I'd say that you should only do it if you've got some reason to fear your own libido, otherwise your approach to NoFap should be more along the lines of "fuck - I've not fapped in a week" rather than "I'm not going to fap for 30 days".

Pic related is a rebuttle to some of the stuff in this Pastebin, either way you might want to give it a look.

>1 week into post-vasectomy nofap
>Could fuck a squirrel at this stage
How can I stay strong guys? I don't wanna pop a stitch.

>Vasectomy done because genetic defect that would guarantee my child would be a vegetable.

The biggest one is the simplest STOP WATCHING PORN.

Give it another week or week and a half and you'll probably be fine.

Nofap is a meme.

Best option is reduced fap with no porn.

I'm 32. I fapped almost daily since I was 16. My erections weren't as hard anymore and my sensitivity was way down. Sometimes I had to imagine porn during sex just to cum. I completely cut out hardcore porn and fapping to porn, and I fap like once every two weeks (but I do have sex about once a week). It fixed all problems.

Been away from fit for a few weeks, gla dthe chaosandpain faggot is seemingly gone. This is more convincing though. Starting to think nofap is just autism.

>gla dthe chaosandpain faggot is seemingly gone
See the Pastebin, I linked all of the same shit that he did, the only reason that I didn't link it directly is because I haven't read it.

>This is more convincing though. Starting to think nofap is just autism.
I'm glad that my work is appreciated, it must mean that I'm doing something right. I'm tempted to agree that nofap is mostly autism, but the screenshot that I had in the first post of the dump seems to make a better cause against the alleged benefits than my personal experience will.

>virgin
>met 5/10 with tinder
>she's very receptive
>will be 8th day nofap
>have problems with ed thats why
>might not find the entrance
>cock might be too big
>might cum too fast due to nofap
What do?

>virgin
>have problems with ed
Bullshit. If you're a virgin then how do you know that you've got ed?

Because I pulled another 5/10 weeks ago and couldn't keep it up and was therefore unable to lose my verginity
Like we got it in for like 2 sec but she was very rough so I went limb again

I don't undestand how people can't keep there dicks up. are you circumcised? if anything I have trouble keeping my dick down. I can get a fucking hardon from a text messaeg from my girlfriend lol

Every time I try noFap, I get so many wet dreams it's just not worth the extra time and effort spent cleaning my sheets. Should a high-test guy like me still keep trying or should I just give up and stay a 30 year old sexless Veeky Forumsizen

>circumcised
Yes? What does this have to do with anything? I thought it was porn + anciety?

had to pastebin my response because 4cuck thinks is spam

Nofap is useful to end porn addiction. Nofap is not something to be done forever, is a thing to do in a restricted time window to end porn addiction and problem derived by it.
After that, you could fap again. But never watch porn and always prefer sex to fapping

loss of sensitivity

>linking YourBrainOnPorn as a source

>high test
>virgin

read the fucking links inside the YBOP article, retard.
Also, the guy behind the side and his mates are neurologists and neuroscientists, the guys who make assumptions against it, like chaonsandpainfag, are "sexuologists" and psychologists, I wonder who should I trust?

>Reading comprehension
Never said I was a virgin just that I'm currently sexless at age 30.

No Porn is the way to go, No Fap fucks up your libido.

NoFap doesn't fuck up your libido, Flatline is something which lasts 1-2 weeks and also you're not supposed to remain on nofap. It's not a lifestyle, it's a way to end porn addiction cold turkey since even fantasizing about porn is dangerous

>That whole screenshot is bullshit. There are several other debunking of that online, won't bother posting them now. I'll debunk what you said
Post a better source than yourbrainonporn.com, if there's debunks of that specific screenshot then you're better off posting them than a generic link.

cures ED.
>Proven countless of times
Then post a better source than YBOP.

>What you have is called a flatline. You probably have low testosterone levels because a flatline usualy should last only a few weeks
Maybe, but fuck me 4 months is what? 8 times longer than you'd expect? I've got my doubts.

clearer mind/increased self-control
>The reason is the restoration of physiological dopamine response
You're giving me the reason behind something that I barely experienced? Seems pointless.

increases sensitivity
>True. At first it's hard, but then it becomes easy to last how much you want.
Bullshit, I have no such control. 4 months is well past the "at first" point.

testosterone
>medical shit
I'll get back to you when I've read the medical shit. Didn't you say that I'm low test anyway?

>6 more cum
>7 More confidence/motivation/better social skills/attitude
Cool, we appear to not disagree.

>any other medical claims
Cool, that's one more lead.

>The rest is nosense
Go on? You've just dismissed half of what I've said without any justification.

Well that's No Fap as a way to reach No Porn I guess, but there's a lot of people on the other chan's /nofap/ that straight up destroy their libidos by never cumming.

Day 5 my NIGGERS

>Post a better source than yourbrainonporn.com, if there's debunks of that specific screenshot then you're better off posting them than a generic link.
Sorry, it takes time to go to fu8lchan and search for particular posts and then screenshot them considering they go back to 2015 and the board has 21 pages

>Maybe, but fuck me 4 months is what? 8 times longer than you'd expect? I've got my doubts.
As I said, you probably have low testosterone from other causes or you're depressed

>You're giving me the reason behind something that I barely experienced? Seems pointless.
How much did you use porn before? When you started? WHich kind of porn did you use?

>Bullshit, I have no such control. 4 months is well past the "at first" point.
With "at first" I mean having sex user. After having sex many times you acquire self control even if extremely horny

>I'll get back to you when I've read the medical shit. Didn't you say that I'm low test anyway?
We're not taking about you here pal. As I said, I won't lurk fu7lchan now

>7
non falsifiable means that you can't test things like "better social skills" or "attitude".
Dopamine has an important role on motivation

>Go on? You've just dismissed half of what I've said without any justification.
>fapping is an hobby
>the chaosandapin copypasta debunked several times on Veeky Forums

>How much did you use porn before? When you started? WHich kind of porn did you use?
What kind of porn did I use before I went 4 months NoFap? Hardly any, mostly hentai if anything.

>Go on? You've just dismissed half of what I've said without any justification.
>fapping is an hobby
Great argument you got there bro.

Which kind of hentais? /d/ stuff?
When did you started?

Specifically CGs from Japanese H-games, pretty tame even by /h/ standards.

>When did you started?
When did I first start fapping to hentai? Probably as soon as I was physically capable of doing so, i.e. probably a decade ago.

You probably weren't addicted to porn to begin with..
I'm porn addicted and I can tell you nofap did a VERY different effect on me and also my fapping routines were WAY different than yours.

I failed again. Fucking weekends :/

Did I imply that I was addicted to porn?

Nofap is a cure for porn addiction.
I was explaining why you didn't have any effect when on nofap: you weren't porn addicted.
I don't get why you did nofap in the first place

>Nofap is a cure for porn addiction.
>I don't get why you did nofap in the first place
You only need to look at the OP, or the list of commonly mentioned benefits that I posted () to see why I did it.

But you get those benefits, specifically look like Kars in the OP if you are porn addicted.
Now most people are porn addicted without knowing it. They realize how much they are after they try to abstain from porn.
The "benefits" are simply going back to a normal state, but for the porn addicted, it feels like superpowers and becoming the ultimate lifeform

Gotcha, you're firmly in the "fapping isn't bad, porn is" crowd. That leaves me with no way to disagree with you. I've never really figured out how to derive much pleasure from porn, despite having periods where I've gone through over 100GB of it, so I can't testify to the positives or negatives of various amounts of porn consumption, nor can I touch on porn addiction.

Fapping even without porn is bad for porn addicted, sadly, but not for regular humans.

Wait a minute, so if flatlines are a porn thing, why did my libido die during my 4 months NoFap?

Lol saw you in another thread

same desu. I need to learn how to last longer

(((may)))

why did i flat line on day 14 and i still am on day 40? nofap is a meme dude. just do it once every 7 days.
