I know theres an on going debate on  the possible benefits.

There is also the issue of porn and its possible detrimental effects.

e commonly held belief is that porn is the main culprit in causing whatever problems it supposedly causes and that masturbating to your imagination is fine.


Even so there are supposed benefits to abstaining all together.

Its been four days for me so far and i notice increased energy and i Lust for women more.

Anyone else have any experiences?

Also the sense of discipline is a nice plus. I do have an addictive personality and have favorite porn stars Genres etc. Once i cave in and masturbate to porn i usually do it again several times within a few hours.

I am actually still torn on if porn is even bad for you. Supposedly it skews your perception of sex but ime lots of chicks are down for anal bondage and other common porn categories.

Thoughts?

How long you been fapp free?




Usually once every other day, alot of the times it turns out to once a day, sometimes more. Sometimes i've gone a month without it, with a girlfriend or without. lol wutevers.
I do believe it messes with you in the aspect of "duration" in ACTUAL intercourse (premature ejac). Also sets habits for what you look for in a female mate, which may be unattainable in reality. who knows...
Also i notice that if i abstain for more than 2 days then i feel like i have more testosterone built up and start to get turned on easier... blah blah...
Also i have switched hands each time for about 6 years now... havne't got the left arm caught up yet but maybe someday.. i'll keep practicing ;p

p.s. This thread is very odd, amond other words, and I wish I could take back the information I absorbed.....

p.s.s. I like to masturbate in odd places...
Cheers! :elmo:

Well placebo is just as good.

Still going strong here.

@bill
Good for you. Keep it up!  Hehe...get it?


@higher love
Yea things took a strange turn but i cant say im suprised given the subject matter.

Yea making your fappps last longer does seem to carry over into the bedroom.

Supposedly there is a slight increase in testosterone which peaks after seven days then goes back to normal whether u fapp or not.

I think a much better way to increase testosterone production is to lift hella weights and eat like a horse

I was gonna do the Nofap challenge then after 3 days I was like you know what fuck this shit I gotta keep the pipes clean

It simply can't be healthy to abstain for as long as some of those people have been abstaining for, masturbation is proven to reduce risk of developing prostate cancer

And then these people parade around and brag about abstaining as if doing so gives them some kind of advantage over people who don't in terms of overall confidence, an idea which is essentially based on anecdotal evidence which isn't truly indicative of anything

I mean if you genuinely have an addiction to porn and masturbation then yeah you should really cut down but do I think jerking off every day makes you "less of a man"? Hell no, that idea is placebo and nothing more

True but placebo is shown to be quite effective no?

Also, i been lifting and thats one of the reasons im doing no fapp.


Ive heard about the prostate thing and thats pretty neat but i wonder how often u need to fapp to get that benefit.

And along those lines, how long until no fapp becomes harmful?

I've read that if you abstain long enough you reach a "flatline" where your libido pretty much drops to that of an old man and you become depressed and irritable, it's also referred to as "dead dick syndrome"

That just doesn't sound healthy to me at all

For myself, I see it as an exercise in self control - a practice of sorts that is translating into other aspects of my life.

Just as an anecdote: Traditional Chinese medicine says sperm to be an aspect of j'ing. Storing enough j'ing will facilitate increased flow of Qi. Qi collectively aids in the realisation of Shen.

I have read stories of people who abstain from this self-love who claim it to be a boon while others say it to be a bunch of hooey. From my understanding of seminal retention, the key is sublimating the energy that is gathered i.e. a steady exercise routine, regular meditation/yoga practise, developing a balanced diet, learning/studying various forms of knowledge, volunteering, etc. It is the inclusion or absence of the sublimation process that determines the impact on one's life.

And the thing is, you really have nothing to lose by giving the challenge a go. I've learned what circumstances in my life trigger my desire to release. Until beginning I never realised how much I had used masturbation as a crutch. Have since stopped other habits (no more booze for example). Plus there are a number of studies being done now on the harm watching pornography does to the brain. The same neural pathways light up as when a junkie gets a fix of smack or burns some meth when one watches digital projections of naked women (or men) on your plastic computer screen. Plus, you can have sex, that's fine, it's just the porno that's really detrimental.

Joke if you wish, but I'm the one smiling on the inside. :jointsmile:

I'm trying to cut out porn, or at least reduce the brutality of it. I think it messes with your mind a bit to be such a pervert.

I need a girlfriend. That's all.

I just deleted all my porn on my PC to encourage no-fapping, plus, fuck that hardcore shit! God. I'll stick to like MET-ART or those superhot self-respecting models that just do solo stuff I think. Fap and forget.





Cutting out porn is good, to be honest I don't really watch porn.  I like some tumblr blogs which are artistically done which focus on sex, or bdsm, or the female form, those don't feel like porn to me even though they are.  They don't get me aroused though, they're more interesting to look at.

As far as some of the stuff I watched when I was in my 20's, I just can't do it anymore, it literally does nothing for my loins.

Me!

I felt like I was rubbing a dry log so I'm trying to avoid all sexually charged situations/websites, which is hard because there is a sexual meaning in everything if you know how to look.

I have to have sex or masturbate at least once a day. Preferably more, especially when I work out. Working out makes me horny. I don't know how people go multiple days without getting off.
