There's no evidence that /nofap/ actually works. Yet it's highly popular. How can this be explained?

>> No.12586385

>>12586367
NoFap has no supporting evidence, but PornFree has plenty. Porn is objectively bad for developing minds. So the effects of PornFree get mixed in with NoFap and there you go.

It has a great lot of anecdotal evidence that it works. IMO the anecdotal evidence is very convincing.

>> No.12586401

>no evidence
modern "science" has become so tainted that it doesn't mean much if theres no studies on it. There is however countless cultures that have been saying nofap is good for thousands of years, in fact thats one of the only things they have managed to agree on

I’ll just say what my benefits were. I felt a general decrease interest in masturbation after a month and a half. Motivation increase, but I’m willing to partially attribute it to placebo

The absolute stupidity of this statement. Learnsome basic physics you fucken idiot. If it takes energy to do it, fapping in this case, then yes fucker doing it a lot is bad. Why are people like you so fucking stupid when it comes to basic physics and logistics.

Porn imagery is also bad for you on a mental, brain development level. Combine them both and you get all the "men" you see today

I am bro. Easily 2-3 cooms daily. Love jackin over a woman. Many times they will be content to receive your load because it’s easier than getting plowed. But with no woman preset I’m content to imagine one. Truest chad pill there is.

By that logic the institution of schooling in general is a rapecult. Because there have been many coverups to guard reputations. Don’t get me wrong the church is a horrible installation filled with wicked people. I’m agreeing with you there. I think your being extreme though to say the church is evil from top-down. The evil men at the top exploit the kindness and charity of the members at the bottom which usually are great people. This is how the church spreads even in our hyper modern era. The compassion and giftedness of volunteers.

I had never realized people actually need porn to get off, I could actually always masturbate without even having to imagine a woman, let alone needing porn
