Hello GAF,

so, do you believe no fap is beneficial and the way of life? or it is just a myth and an unfounded claims by some people?

as for myself I seen it as a self control technique, in the other end I s
found myself become a more sensitive person everytime I do 1+ weeks abstaining, dunno why

 

[Cybrwzrd]

You are just getting old fam, your libido is going away. It is also possible that you ingest too many phytoestrogens too. I'd recommend you hit up the local testosterone clinic and get on some T to get that libido back.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Negative, Ghost Rider. The Pattern Is Full.

 

[Elektro Demon]

I like to abstain from fapping for a few days. After that my orgasms are insane.

 

[King of Foxes]

No fap is like Crossfit, only done by spergs and weirdos

 

[Makariel]

So what are the supposed benefits? Every generation seems to have some sort of movement that claims masturbation is one of the heralds of the apocalypse, what's different about this one?

 

[Vicetrailia]

Only if I want to reach peak horniness for whatever reason, or produce more seed for anothers enjoyment. But that's only for a couple days.

It's situational, not a philosophy. It doesn't make me "better".

 

[Birdo]

Masturbation is healthy and natural.

If you don't do it, then enjoy increasing your chance of prostate cancer.

 

[M1chl]

It's stupid, I too enjoy being fucking frustrated for no reason, because of some internet stupidity. It's my body, deal with it.

 

[garballax]

no trend is gonna tell me when i can and cannot fap

 

[JokerMM]

i never got pass the two weeks mark with nofap

i am 25 yo and i fap up to 5 times a day everyday until i shoot blank, and before you tell me how find the time, i work 8 hours a day, i can beat my meat up to three times in the span of 40 minutes, some days i can fap close to 10, and my cock just wants more and more

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Gaining self control tends to affect multiple areas of life. I also think any chronic behavior is going to have a negative effect on the human psyche if it isn't kept in check.

That said, I don't think there's any magical power gained about not yanking your penis. Seems like the 30-year-old wizard-virgin meme. A male transitioning from boyhood to adulthood includes getting their sexual impulses in check, so I think that is what acolytes experience when they go on NoFap.

 

[Blond]

Yes. But only after I saw some dude on reddit who used Sissy and Transgender Hypno porn so often that he ended up assaulting his wife to act out his fetish. Reading that shit how it ruined his marriage made me rethink porn as a whole and how it affects the brain...=/

 

[H4ze]

I fap whenever I want, nobody is going to stop that, not my SO, not some internet meme crap

fap 4 life

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Some people just have different testosterone levels.

This no fap superpowers thing is the biggest puritan bullshit ever.

Like with everything, as long as it isn't detrimental to the rest of your life you are fine.

 

[Blade2.0]

Maybe waiting a week to build up to a fap that's going to feel amazing. But to never fap.

Wait. Let me laugh harder.

 

[Mitsuda Maniac]

My GF hates pron and would love for me to join that group. I respectfully decline, however.

 

[M1chl]

I feel like I need to clarify, I don't watch porn, it's boring after you getting real thing. I just do that, because my brain tell me to do so. I did not think about people who are dependend on porn, seem like really sad existences...if anything many years back I was trying to find some video, which would be attractive and that cost a lot of time for questionable results. So after some folks writting stuff about porn, I felt the need to clarify. Maybe no fap is healthy for those porn junkies.

Spoiler: Some fact about my country

We are maybe third biggest porn producer in the world, is not that hard to fuck someone who then became porn star, I know that very well, but for some reason she got really famous and I can't just write that on the internet, because who the fuck would believe me. Receipts I have, but not willing to share. It's enough for me that I know it happened : P

 

[eot]

Not fapping surely changes your hormone levels and therefore the way you feel, so then people self report ludicrous stuff. If you have problems getting it up because of porn though it probably makes sense, but not doing it for that long is going to make you horny as fuck and probably just lead to binging porn, so in practice it's probably not a good solution.

 

[Sub_Level]

Whatever works for you.

For me, I fap daily.

 

[MaestroMike]

Horniness is correlated to ur diet. if u crush food eat a lot of saturated fat and meat and greens and all that jazz ur gonna be a horny motherfukker. low carb/fat diets make no fap way easier and you won't be thinking about spending ur money on a nasty hooker or bothering ur wife for sex or hit on ur female coworkers. its good to know how to turn off ur dick as well turn it on when u need to.

interesting thing I noticed when I made my libido low is I didn't care about money or business or like violent video games or movies. i liked watching cartoons more like the simpons or animated movies or videos about animals. but it was hard doing physical work had like no energy and would get frustrated/pissed quick so I had to turn it up for my job where im moving and lifting things all the dam time. so i'm eating mad carbs and fat on the reg and Im horny as fukk every now and then. but no fap taught me how to turn off those desires so I'm happy for that it was a good learning experience. went like a whole year doing no fap a couple years back when I was on a vegan stint

Seems like someone should have a fap, you sounding a bit aggressive here mate.

I had a couple of partners in my life, had sex with different women, so I had "the real thing", as you call it.
Porn has nothing to do with real sex, I enjoy it for myself, to satisfy fetishs my partner does not like or just to beat some time.

"These porn junkies", well, what should I say about that, to me it seems like you are the one with the problem here.

 

[Punished Miku]

Absolutely. Sometimes I actually wait a several hours.

 

[Mitsuda Maniac]

There are people who really do have a terrible problem with jerking it too much. I used to know a guy who would get high on adderall and weed and just go at it for hours apparently.

It's different from watch porn and being hook on it. Normal watching, for maybe even better experience with your partner is okay, but spend whole day watching is not. Like everything the key is to not over done it. So maybe my English or my articulation of my thought sounded like "in general", but I meant those "pornhub warriors" not people like you. Sorry, for my miscommunication. Was not meant like that.

I love that Stiflers Mom liked this post.

 

[ROMhack]

I stopped masturbating so much recently and suddenly I have so much more energy and much less anxiety. It's mostly good but not always useful, like at work where I find myself irritated at a lot of minor things. It's led me to wonder how much modern society doesn't cater towards some of these base male traits.

In terms of imagination, I can now masturbate over thoughts instead of videos/images.

 

[Durask]

We need to link it to global warming.

 

[haxan7]

My likelihood of dying in a road rage accident goes up approximately 15% with each day I don't cum

 

[*Nightwing]

exercising self discipline especially with bodily urges is immensely beneficial for your personal life and cognitive abilities, so is NOT walking around in the world with a loaded cock in your pants. Balance

Same because the stimulus is different. I think on a daily basis not fapping so much has some gains but not NO FAP. It's too much the other way.

It's like with social media and maybe general screen time - it has negative consequences when you overdo it but there's no need to abstain ALL THE TIME.

 

[TaySan]

Try to abstain from porn is much better. Porn is killing us.

Porn is really weird when you watch it too much, that's for sure.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

I haven't jerked it since Halloween '09.

I went the entirety of the 2010's without any sort of sexual gratification.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Ejaculating is healthy for your prostate.

 

[Cybrwzrd]

Spot on. I much prefer demonstrations of self pleasure by attractive women. Not all that interested in watching some other guy have sex with them.

 

[daveonezero]

I'm not sure if there is something to believe in or not. There are countless Practices of abstaining for spiritual and philosophical reasons.

it's probably not healthy to constantly haviyg your body replenish the supply.

Habits can be positive or negative.

habitual use of pornography and masturbation can and does lead to a lot of issues all the way up to serious and reckless addiction.

 

[TheContact]

Fapping reduces ball cancer. Fap away.

Your body is always replacing the supply regardless if you fap or not.

That's true but I'm talking all the chemicals you release when you have sex or orgasm.

it's a bunch of hormones, and secretions in your brain too.

 

[Southern Gentleman]

Masturbation is pointless.

It defeats the purpose of the sexual faculty and feeds into a self-defeating, selfish loop.

But everyone does it, and the sexual revolution happened, so now every pop psychology article will tell you there's nothing more beneficial than sitting in your bedroom by yourself and jacking it.

This is absurd.

What's healthiest all around is male-female sex within marriage without blocking reproduction artificially. But again, this is seen as repressive, silly, and impossible to live by.

Good luck trying convince anyone in current year of anything of the sort, or that sex matters at all beyond "it feels good, and consent is all that matters. Oh and babies if you really what that, I guess. But me? I'm never having kids."

Individualism, feminism, and atheism have done wonders for our happiness.

 

[Cybrwzrd]

By that metric exercise may be unhealthy because it breaks down muscle fibers and the body has to secrete things to repair them.

I'm not going to agree with everything you say, because pretty much all primates masturbate (and so do many other animals), its an evolved behavior to clear out the pipes.

But yeah, women who regularly take loads vaginally suffer lower rates of depression. Hormonal contraceptives are dangerous and wreak havoc on women's endocrine systems. I'd love to see some long term studies on long term effects on fertility and birth defects, for example relationship to occurrence of autism .

It's just a group of low test men trying to be inclusive.

 

[GamingKaiju]

I jerk off atleast 2 times a day, once in the morning after I work out and then once right after lunch I don't do it because I want to do it because I fucking need too. Think about it your dealing with numbers, decimal points, digits, high frequency numbers all very above the shoulders very acidic mustard shit.

you gotta feed the geese to keep the blood flow below the belt, this isn't a tip this is a prescription you gotta trust me, if you don't, you'll fall out of balance and split your diferencial and tip the fuck over or worse yet implode. Implosions are ugly any chance you get pop off to the bathroom and work one out. You'll get so good at it you'll be thinking about money.

Except the body blows loads on its own during sleep if you don't fap during the day, which even (the horror!) Catholicism does not call sinful.

Primates and other animals do plenty of things that aren't necessarily in the best interest of humans who choose to either rule over their passions or be ruled by them. Masturbation is a closed loop; it fosters the opposite of what relationships and the family try to achieve, to say nothing of self-discipline lost.
