I've been told that Nofap was fake and that It did nothing to people who commit to it.

But on the other hand People on nofap claim that extreme porn addiction can destroy the grey matter in your brain and can ruin your dopamine/serotonin receptors, Is it true or no?

I quite literally can't stop, I've been trying to stop since I was 15.
I could stop drinking alcohol with the snap of my finger (I only relapsed like 5 times over 2 years), same with weed.
So it's definitely more addicting than a drug for me.

>Porn is addictive and fapping is bad for you
Okay, I have heard this so many times and I am entirely convinced that this is bull. So, I will be conducting an experiment. I will not masturbate for the next 200 days and I will keep a log of my mood, libido, and productivity. This should give a wealth of qualitative data on whether or not nofap does anything at all. Screencap this post, I will post my log/results on /sci/ on April 21, 2021. Should 4channel get deleted in this time period, I will post this log on every NoFap discord I can find.

Abstinence isn't of any benefit if you get aroused at all because then all your effort is fighting horniness which is self defeating and useless. You can't just upend something deeply habitual and ingrained in you. It takes years and you need to avoid triggers, even thoughts that can set you off. Also most people still have sex when they do it, meaning they don't derive any of the benefits of semen retention.

When I abstain
>lower sex drive
>better focus
>feel genuinely motivated to do things instead of relying on discipline.

I will aswell actually, I will set a calendar and we can compare and contrast?
Keep in mind the alleged benefits such as Clear skin, Better mood, More sensitive to dopamine, better erection quality , better cognitive function , balanced hormones/testosterone and it helps various other mental aliments,

I did the actual nofap november thing and In my experience I did get 75% less acne, better mood, better sleep schedule and such but i didnt go long enough to stop being addicted so i couldnt get full benefits. Well see when the day comes

I've quit sugar for a year, I've quit soda completely, I've pretty much permanently quit gaming since I was 16. I've always found gambling stupid but I can't quit porn no matter what.

Don't worry about that in my case
But I'll keep that in mind and find a way to take my mind off arousal

nah. sugar, games, drugs, gambling etc are all trivial to beat and even just a mild depression will kill your interest in all of those because ultimately none of those things matter or make life enjoyable. cooming on the other hand is wired so strongly with our reward system that it is pretty much an impossible habit to break even if it is also meaningless. its pretty much the only thing I enjoy in life anymore.

Can it even be considered a real addiction? In a sense, breeding (which you simulate by watching porn) is the same thing as any basic instinct, such as breathing, eating, drinking. Yet you don't hear people go "oh man I'm so addicted to oxygen/food/water". I don't know, there seems to be something else at action here.

masturbating by yourself all the time is considered bad because its not social. having lots of sex is considered good by the majority of people because it is social.

Has it occurred to you that perhaps (YOU) have a problem because all you seem to think about is masturbation-related questions?
How about you think about something else INSTEAD? Or does that tax your tiny little brain too much?
Seriously, bugger off.

i doubt porn destroys brain matter. more than likely is that the study was a survey, not an experiement. of course you would expect a correlation between brain matter and porn addiction, because you would expect porn addicts to be lazier and less producting because they are too busy cooming and generally such people are also probably social failures which causes depression and lethargy and social interaction is also a huge source of brain stimulation that social failures lack. I think its very possible to maintain brain matter and be a coomer as long as you still spend time being productive and doing things that challenge your brain in the time you aren't cooming. I spend hours every day on my coom addiction but I'm doing fantastic in my classes.

You are constantly being barraged with propaganda encouraging you to watch porn and masturbate, this by itself is a pretty good indication its not good for you.
