What the actual fuck is up with these people? Why do they think not fapping has given them superpowers? Seems like a lot of really STUPID guys. I see no issue in fapping every now and then, why give it up altogether? Idiots.

Not ever having been as fucked-up as some people I've known, I'd imagine it's because they've got so many problems giving them so much depression and anxiety that they're targeting their obsessive masturbation (which is probably the only escape they have from their fucked-up lives) as the root cause of *all* their problems (transferrance?). So instead of obsessively masturbating, they're obsessing over *not* masturbating, and magically all their other problems seem to fall away (placebo effect?).

Of course it's all nonsense, actually unhealthy in the long run, and they're delusional if they think that'll solve all their internal and external problems. I take it as a sign of neuroses. These kids need professional help and/or being removed from whatever situations they're in that are stressing them to the point they're this neurotic.

Then of course there's the TROLL factor; get gullible, insecure, slightly fucked-up teenagers to *think* it'll solve all their problems in life, then sit back and laugh at them when they're balls turn blue and they're actually more miserable than before, but *believing* that somehow they're better off.

Remember, and never forget: Veeky Forums is the Original Internet Hate Machine; trolling was more or less *invented* here.

Most take it too fucking far. Yeah I do NF, but the idea is just to reach 90 days so that you can let go of your porn dependancy.

But then you have these guys which go without it for like a whole year. And need to call the suicide hotline whenever they jerk off.

It's Reddit. Reddit draws in over-dramatic people and encourages them to be even more over-dramatic.

>Nf is unhealthy in the long run
Thats where youre wrong kiddo

Care to elaborate?

Literally all the adverse effects of pornography and jerking off are long term. If they were short, everyone would realize it and there'd be an even larger following to break the addiction.

One of the primary issues, that I'm sure you'll be concerned of is the steady desensitization caused by porn and masturbation. Porn induced erectile dysfunction is not uncommon, and is steadily growing as technology becomes more mainstream. It got to the point for Hugh Hefner to where he "could only get off to gay porn." after having indulged in females as an unlimited commodity for so long.

Like how a crack addict's high gets worse over time. Eventually there is no "high", they just need the drug to feel normal.
The immediate pleasure release is early similar to many other destructive addictiona, and that's why NoFap exists.

Pic related lists more issues, and its worth the read.

Not listed, are the moral concerns that I personally have towards pornography, but something tells me your not neccicarily motivated by moral concerns, so I'll keep that to myself.

that pic is why I only watch POV thank you very much

>all the things I don't like about myself can be attributed to this one thing!
A convenience as old as time and mentally unstable people are much more susceptible to it.

Serial killer shit
The problem is that jacking off doesn't mean porn. If you do it without external stimulus there's not going to be any of the conditioning you get with porn, especially if you do it only occasionally to vanilla thoughts.
People claiming that ceasing the physical act gives you super powers instead of focusing on not using porn and conditioning yourself are undermining the point of it imo. They turn it into a willpower challenge to brag about.
