There’s no science behind no-fap.

I’m down to answer any questions, but rest assured that all the claims are either conclusions from papers taken out of context, or conclusions from research that aren’t scientific at all.

is no-fap really worth it? i feel stressed out as fuck after few days with random boners all the time but as soon as i fap once it's all gone, though i feel hazy for a while

All Fap-related issues are problems that stem from circumcision. Off yourself.

Absolutely you will gain more energy and confidence. Your skin will start to look better. It will be easier for you to focus etc.

Nofap is a cult.

>>11521751
damn so 15 days and I’ll turn into the prince of Sayajins? ayyy nigga I have to stop COOOOOOOOOOOMing

>>11521246
I can't get off to the vast (vast) majority of porn, so I never realized just how much content the average straight man has at his disposal. You can literally watch porn forever.

Nofap is unnecessary to live a good life, as shown by history, but Noporn is essential.

Right well I found that compulsive masturbation has caused problems for me
-lower back pain (gone when abstained)
-right rib cage pain (gone when abstained)

Ok tranny how many shekels you getting paid

Porn industry uses biological phenomenon called Coolidge effect. With every new female introduced sexual interest in renewed. Brain releases dopamine to each novel female. This is what makes porn so addicting.

Funny thing is that nowadays studies have no control group. It is because nearly every male in college age watches porn regularly. That is why there is so little studies on a subject.

Are the shitty facebook memes necesary to prove your point?

You’ll get infected on nofap srs

Arousal addiction symptoms can often be mistaken with adhd, depression, OCD or social anxiety disorder.

>>11524129
Psychiatrists often think that all those conditions are primary. They often don't acknowledge the fact that those symptoms can be result of a porn addiction.

Doing NoFap gives can help you restore dopamine receptors & levels. It is important because constant ejaculating can and will reduce the amount of dopamine receptors in your brain.

It's also possible that the Indian spatial/analytical split is even MORE analytical-biased than the European one.

In fact this is probably true given their track record of accomplishment (numbers, math, philosophy, but little in terms of engineering/geometry) and their head shape (mostly dolichocephalic, much like the brits, who also lack engineering success)

bros... I recently broke my nofap streak with 4 cooms in 3 days... Pray for me please

You know what else will do this, with an even more dramatic overall effect? Strength training. Lazy people deserve the health effects of being lazy.

>>11521660
>few days to get random boners again

bruh it takes me 3 weeks minimum wtf

Here's an infographic comparing pornography and cocaine addiction

>>11524370
I didn't that you shouldn't train. You can combine strength training and nofap

Something to think about

This anon said it best. Please read his posts.

Here are some studies linking porn addiction with sexual problems

It's legit bro science. Like fruitarianism, the alkaline diet and other specious health advice, it can be effective due to incidental results. I.E. nofapping might help you objectify women less, slightly improving social skills. Maybe it'll help you waste less time and develop better focus. Maybe it'll help you direct your focus away from yourself and be less narcissistic. There's all kinds of ways it could help, but none are guaranteed.

>>11524749
What about the studies?

>>11524749
Objectifying women more works even better if you are Chad.

Porn addicts can also have withdrawal symptoms.

Chad no need social skill. All Chad gotta do is drive da ball.
>>11524751
Link 1 is a perfect example of an incidental consequence. Nofapping might help you cut down on the fucked up porn. The two are related, but not directly dependent upon one another. No porning might be a healthier choice. Just like those fad diets, maybe they work, or maybe it's just the fact you've begun eating more of what you should be eating.

thanks fren

gimme!

idk my libido is rather big i guess

>two threads about fucking jerking off
btw endocrinology is way more complicated than just "testosterone good, estrogen bad" and neurochemistry is way more complicated than "dopamine bad" and neurology is more complicated than "brain """shrink""" bad".

>>11525520
>brain shrink good

>>11525542
you brain always ""shrinks"" due to various things but it returns back to its original size. same thing with stress and masturbation, it's not irreversible. even alcohol caused brain atrophy is reversible.
point is brain shrinkage =/= permanent brain damage and retardation

>>11525901
i don't remember now exactly, but doesn't alcohol in big amounts destroy proteins in your brain in a way similiar to what frying scrambling eggs look like?
