I’ve noticed that my attention span has become noticeably reduced. I can no longer read difficult philosophical works as quickly, and sometimes I just can’t read them at all. What is happening to my brain? Is the coomer meme real?

Just avoid porn in general, masturbation is healthy if it comes from your imagination.

This is garbage advice from /r/nofap. Masturbation to your imagination just strengthens your memories of past porn firstly, and secondly makes you dream and think sexually more. Your imagination is a temple. Guard it.

>NoFap was founded in June 2011 by Pittsburgh web developer Alexander Rhodes after a thread on Reddit about a 2003 Chinese study that found that men who refrain from masturbation for seven days experience a 145.7% spike in testosterone levels on the seventh day. This hit the front page of a popular forum on Reddit.

NoFappers are literally basing their philosophy off a reddit post about a bogus pseudo-scientific chinese "study"

Yes, but it's not just porn. It's consumerism in general.

You are literally being brainwashed to be completely reliant on momentary dopamine spikes, on the internet, at the mall, what you eat, everywhere.

Chasteanons never give a clear answer as to what they are against and why. Is it masturbating they dislike, is it pornography, abstaining from sex all together? You get a different answer from each person. Either way I haven't heard anything about it effecting your attention span

Fapping is unhealthy because you basically found a glitch that enables you to get off without a natural partner. God only meant sex to be between a man and his wife

Obviously. "Not wanking" isn't a philosophy, it's an opinion on a certain activity. This opinion could be motivated by any number of reasons that could feed into any number of other lifestyle choices.

Only it literally is. Having a good attention span is the result of having a reward system that's used to waiting longer for milder pleasures. Having a terrible attention span is the result of having a reward system that's constantly thirsting for stimulation every 3 seconds.

In this way I would say video games are actually 10,000x worse than porn and probably the main cause of poor attention spans in anons.

if we weren’t made to experience any kind of pleasure, we wouldn’t feel it at all. Although moderation is still required, sexual imagination is a hardwired part of us and being able to get off on sexual imagination alone is healthy.

This is true in theory but in practice your imagination has already been corrupted by porn to the extent that it is practically impossible to masturbate without perpetuating it. Better to just abstain altogether.

Many reasons could be the cause for that, but there's been research showing the some of it is to blame on the internet and smartphones. Also, nofap cultists are retards. They make it seem as if not fapping will suddenly erase every ailment of modern life. Avoiding fapping will assuredly leave you with more energy and time, but it won't fix everything. It isn't going to erase the damage if you're still addicted to internet and smartphone use.

That's porn ADDICTION. An addiction is different from having a wank every now and then. Nofap faggots want to prevent men from having even just a momentary release every now and then, equating even that with being an addict. Any kind of addiction is linked with that kind of damage, it says so in the link.
