Also feel free to talk about noporn as the two goes hand in hand

I can't help but fail the no fap, I have too much time.
I'm a neet and I have all the day free basically, from 6am to 5pm I'm free and sometimes I masturbate on that time.

I attend the gym from 5pm to 7pm and after that I'm too tired to even think about fap, but when I wake up I feel the crave and I just start touching my dick until it gets erect and the rest is history.

How do you do fellow neets?

nofap is stupid
noporn makes sense

>suddenly bored of porn
>use to masturbate once a day since 14 years old

kinda worried desu. I just find that time when I'm about to jerk off. then I'm like. nahh im going to bed.

I also quit weed from years of smoking once a day. I also go out more now to meet women.

so far its okay. I wake up with huge morning wood. so I don't think my test is dropping.

feels sorta weird

I just fapped to some Latina porn.

>it was good.

Have there ever been any studies with men having their testosterone etc taken while masturbating frequently and then again after abstaining?

Fuck. I’m about to start my No Fap week. Headed to Thailand next week and I’m gonna feel sorry for the first girl to fuck up and go back with me

>fap everyday
>PR 140kg on bench up from 125kg 3 weeks ago
Feels good man.

Go to xvideo and search Monique Fuentes - you’ll thank me later.

i cringe at the thought that they cast a manlet to be batman

pic related is me after 3 months

But were they T H I C C Latinas? And were they actually Latina and not just dirty spics?

How? Program?

First week down. Not sure if I will last the whole 90 days. Starting in a new place next week so I will get to know new pussy. Let's see if I can smash some.

Only the finest quality Latinas.

>Ariella Ferrera

Nofap actually helped me
>suffer from death grip syndrome
>cannot cum through intercourse
>reduced fapping to once a week or longer if i can stand it
>came in my gf 3 times this weekend with intercourse alone which felt so much better than my fucking hand
>tfw

You’re fapping to Ariella right now aren’t you? You dirty boy you.

>suffer from death grip syndrome
>cannot cum through intercourse

yeah I use to have this with my old gf. I found you have to find that right position. if the room got too hot temperature wise that sucked as well.

it was fun fucking her for a long time tho.

4x8 right hand jerk superset with 5x5 left hand jerk

Currently on day 26 of no-fap. Ever since I’ve gotten really serious with my training and diet, I haven’t had urges, coming from someone who fapped almost everyday for 5 years. Veeky Forums life keeps my mind off porn

I'm a bit drunk, but 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*.

Noporn is good.

Nofap I have mixed feelings of. I have wet dreams after about 2 weeks so I stick to jerking it once a week (instead of daily like before) to clean out the pipes. Doing so with just my imagination.

Stop being a NEET

*Speaking of that screenshot, if I've not included that with this text then tell me and I'll fix that.
8) Wet dreams - Nope, not a single one. From what I've heard this may be related to age, at the time of writing this I was 20 years old.
9) 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. For a few days after I broke my 4 months NoFap, I had fucking blood in my cum.

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".


As for those medical claims that I mentioned, pic related is a rebuttal to some of them. I'll dump the rest in a moment.

I did a full year of nofap and my sex drive did indeed die after a few months. I always thought this was due to depression though.

That's the lot.

Honestly, could've been the same for me, it's hard to tell.

>nofap is stupid
This

By day 10 my gf stopped calling my dick "Willy". Now she calls it "The Fist of God".

Just because I already have an erection or another I already consider a miracle.

I was dipped in a infitinite flatline.

Now I see light.

To see if I could. Then I stopped thinking of sex completely once my libido dropped dead. Didn't intend to do it for a whole year. Not sure what triggered me to fap again but it went back to being a daily thing once it "awakened" again.

That's fucked up

It was in a similar situation. On Sept 1st I as a joke told a couple of friends that we should try no fap september and they were all in. One of them lost on sept 2nd and the other one lost more than a week in. The only thing that got me through the first week was competition. And here i am, 1 week until sept is over. It's been piss easy since week 2

>Chaos and Pain

...

I was on noporn and nofap for 6 days until today when I fapped 7 times to porn. fuck all the people who post sexy pics on blue boards. FUCK YOU MAN

But Veeky Forums just posts pics of fit dude-

Oh.

About what I expected, at least he isn't having kids.

Nofap does magic for me. Every time I do it for more than a week I get laid - and then this time I've been speaking to this girl for a while who I like and I haven't been fapping and busted my nut so good inside her it felt insane.
Nofap is 10/10 for me

Day 25, I was very aggressive last week and had not stop boners and was chatting girls up. But yesterday I started to get all depressed with the whole "what's the point of it all" I've got nothing to complain about. I'd still fuck most girls even fattys given the Chance but I'm not chasing it. Mentally very clear which feels great. Also confident in my own abilities at work and gym. Very calm but ready to snap.

Can't help but wonder if samefag.

Only dumbshits fall for memes like 'no fap'.
>haha, I convinced some fools to get blue balls and be all nervous and edgy, thinking they're going to get more gains by not masturbating, how amusing!

I'm the guy above you. I'm a virgin. deffs not banging 10/10

I'd rather be horny and aggressive with a clear head than some beta faggot who's insecure about nothing.

Why be on the path of nofap when you can just be on the path, OP?

I masturbate once or twice a week at most, and I'm as clear-headed and aggressive as I ever need to be. Sounds to me more like (((You))) are the 'beta faggot' who can't control himself and manage his natural urges. Or are you so devoid of an Actual Life that you have nothing better to do than whack off all the time, so you have to use extreme measures to get yourself under control? Pathetic, if true.

sex is only half of it

gluttonous eatin is the other ...

I'm absolutely a beta faggot when I fap everyday. I was referring to myself in my post. Good for you if you can fap and still feel great. More power to you lad

So, I actually did nofap for months(not consecutive months). The results were good, but I wasn't only doing nofap I was also hitting the gym everyday and doing some heavy workout:

first weeks:
1) better social skills
2) better at dealing with women
3) more motivation
4) more energy
5) MUCH more libido

but then you have the wizard phase:

after 2 weeks:
1) less libido(almost 0)
2) still more motivation
3) better thinking

During the wizard period my academic output was awesome, ideas for new papers every fucking day(I'm a mathematician). I really think that if you're doing nofap just to avoid porn addiction or to get a gf you should masturbate once a week, but if you want to enter monk mode for some reason be ready for wet dreams(I had them 3 times).

I have absolutely no scientific backing for my claims and you should take this only as anecdote, but for me 1 month nofap was a really good experience.

IMPORTANT:

The great effects of nofap were only obvious when I was going to the gym every day, trying nofap during sedentarism was always a fail for me. So, if you're not going to the gym you should go, since it is more important than nofap itself.

>been on nofap for three days but this thicc 2B cosplayer is tempting me
Lord give me strength

I was like you until I bought a PlayStation to fill downtime
Can't fap during Trials

The fuck are you on about?

trials of the nine?
man I own a ps4 and I'm saving money for buying destiny 2 next month, I just don't want to spend all my morning playing vidya, plus I recently quit WoW for the same reason, it was really time consuming.

Longest no fap I did was maybe a month. Got a Prince Albert and my dick hurt so bad I couldn’t fap

When I finally did fap it barely took 30 secs and I shot a gallon of jizz

Day 6. I had a wet dream last night that literally solely consisted of me doing hamstring curls at the gym. I was getting really horny for some reason and thought “might as well just jizz my pants here.” Pretty sure something’s wrong with me.

The ultimate secret to nofap is knowing there is spirits watching you. Just ask them to show themselves. Did it last night and this clear energy took a form as person, i even saw a hand wave to me.

imgur.com/a/JeCV5

Yeah, Destiny 2 is great and the new trials is a ton of fun
I don't think there's anything wrong with vidya as long as you don't let it consume all your time, but a few hours a week as stress reliever is fine.

...

I see your point now.

I asked for forgivness.

She looks like an alive sex doll.

...

Then i had to go to bed, turn of all the lights, and they were still there. I joke you not, my bed was shaking.

Did they give you a dandy handy?

No, it was one standing next to my bed. I just said "hope you are nice" and closed my eyes.

How exactly do depictions of sex/things that are erotic harm you psychologically? I'm not trying to defending porn or anything, but I'm trying to figure out what exactly it does to you.
It seems like erotic art and imagery is common through out history, but is it unnatural to be able to see things like that? Does it really do something to you subconsciously or some shit?
Is it the porn itself or simply the dopamine response you get from it?

Been on noporn since I was like 14. And yeah I barely notice a difference when I feel like doing nofap for a few weeks

Implying bateman, dare i say /ourguy/ isn’t the GOAT

I think it's something to do with the link between viewing porn and needing it to ejaculate, combined with fapping to often and the death grip can lead to unsatisfying orgasms and general depression
I base this on absolutely no science

Fug dem nips

I know, it's ok as a stresss relief, problem is I fear I might get addicted to it again, already happened to me back when the dark below came out.

Anyways, I'll keep trying to fulfill the nofap challenge, cheers buddy.

People that have problems watch really hardcore stuff so they become desensitized and normal sex isn't exciting to them.

HELP

I fell into a depressed state and i couldn't stop jacking off

I feel terrible right now. i need rehab

CUT HIM OFF

John?

I'm going full Oldboy monk mode
Completely cut off from the outside world
Workout 24/7
Calisthenics and boxing
Eat the same basic nutritious meals every day
Constantly fast and drink only water

There's one problem.
I sometimes fail no porn or visit Veeky Forums and things come up.
Should I leave Veeky Forums or just become slightly desensitized to the usually soft core stuff that's posted here?
And what do I do about wood? Maintain the no touch policy or use random 4/10 women as onaholes.

I used to fap so much I could make myself cum by just pulsing my cock up and down in my pants. It was amazing. At the store see a slut wading yoga pants with a great ass. Just follow her around pulsing my cock whole pushing the cart, it works.

but how did you stop?

I didn’t. I’m doing it right now.

was getting caught part of your plan?

NoFap mon-thur. Try to get laid via tinder/parties/bars thur/fri/sat
sunday i jack off

...

I've been doing it for 2 hours so far. Gonna finally quit this time I have the willpower

i do a soft nofap
1 week max limit
I also keep tallies in my journal to keep track of how many times I've been tempted to bust. The more tallies the better because it means more temptations averted. The reason I only do a week is because there's no point in doing it for longer than that. Longterm nofap has been show to diminish T and if you're not horny then you're not fighting off any temptations so your battle isn't even a battle. Plus, it's good to clean the pipes out periodically. I picked a week but you can pick 2 weeks if you want. But no longer than that!

>. Longterm nofap has been show to diminish T
We have scientific proof that it does the opposite of that.
It both raises T levels by a significant amount AND makes your body far more sensitive to your own testosterone.
It also makes your dick bigger.

The solution to your problem is simple, just stop being a neet.
