NoFap General

Went one day without fapping I'm taken the first step Anyone else here doing NoFap or have anything to share?

Use an addon like leechblock to make the temptations more difficult to reach.

NoFap is a meme and probably not healthy. NoPorn is the correct answer. Also breaking the habit of daily masturbation without going cold turkey forever.

>>2986 >"Javascript general" >"Javascript is a meme language, programming general is the correct answer". Avoid doing that.

>>2986 This. Masturbation is proven to be healthy, porn no. After a few short trials (all failed after a week or so) I managed to do NoPorn for a month, cause i felt myself falling too deeply into my fetishes. It helped a lot and wasn't even very difficult, only a few days of suffering at the very end (cause i was in abstinence and wanted fuarrrking femdom). Now i lost the streak, but i watch much less porn (about 2-3 faps with porn every month) and i feel much much less the urge of watching it. I don't consider myself mended, but i made a huge progress. Consider trying.

>>2987 >avoid stating a dissenting but constructive opinion in a thread? Ender even explained that he thinks that porn is the problem, which is an interesting point. Porn in many ways is addicting and can be a big problem for some if not a lot of men.

>>2988 What changes did you observe? I've noticed that I feel happier when I don't fap, and that the converse is true. If I fap after a while of abstinence I will feel like a deflated balloon the next day.

I wish I had a higher sex drive. Stress has made me not fap at all, and I promise you not fapping hasn't improved my life. Sexuality is human. That said, I've done intentional nofaps before and they're not useful. What do you hope to achieve, OP?

>>3044 not anymore depressed or feeling guilty after fapping as usual but relaxed and maybe even a little happier, and orgasm is much more powerful without porn (with "blank" fap, when you don't even fantasize about stuff, it reaches it's maximum, but i do it rarely). Also you lose less time cause fapping is quicker without porn. Oh, and thinking about a person you know in meatspace when masturbating helps to clarify your feelings toward her/him and helps you to explore your sexuality in a more spontaneous way than porn does. If you want to try NoPorn instead of NoFap and you find it difficult to go hard don't be scared of blankfapping for the first few times, relax and maybe listen some jazz while masturbating.

>>3043 >>2986 I think that both NoFap and NoPorn have their advantages. Like, I think I masturbate too much. (on average, 2 to 3 times); when I abstain for like 1 or 2 days, fapping suddenly becomes really good for a couple days. Then I burn out. For me, porn seems to be the real killer. 3D porn specifically. When I go on pornhub or watch a camgirl I always feel like soykaf afterwards; but when I read a doujin I instead feel kind of elated. I think it has something to do with the human connection -- with 3D, I somehow feel like I'm taking advantage of the model. I don't get that with hentai. I'm thinking about doing NoFap for a week, and afterwards just dropping all 3D porn.

just fuarrrked up a five day streak the best thing about nofap is lack of those feelings of regret after jerking to some really messed up stuff

I have like zero libido and masturbate every 1-3 months and rarely more

If you feel guilty or depressed because you masturbate, maybe the physical act isn't the cause but rather leftover moral trappings.

I went NoPorn after watching Black Mirror s01e02 "Fifteen Million Merits". The episode was fairly cyberpunk and resonated with me in a lot of ways. The next time I opened up incognito mode I just couldn't get that story out of my head. I decided to just cut it out altogether and I've felt way better since. I still fap, but only when the need actually arises, which is like twice a week.

>>2986 What is the theory behind not watching porn? I understand that not fapping would help you regain a little bit of self control or so-they-say. But I've never heard of NoPorn before.

>>3121 other anon. NoPorn seems like better idea to me also. Porn kills your creativity, movies especially. My "fapping cycle" looks like that right now. Step one: Read lewd story. Step Two: Start touching yourself once you get really hot. Step Three: Close your eyes and fantasize. I sometimes skip reading honestly. Don't forget about ERPs. They are fun as fuarrrk, especially with someone you "know well". I love experimenting, little bit of gentle CBT from time to time, fondling myself, playing with my butt and so on. I literally can't imagine someone can just sit there with a dick in a hand and stare blankly on moving pictures to get themselves off

>>3121 I think the idea of NoPorn is that you develop weird fetishes and/or ideas of women as objects when you watch porn. So by cutting out porn, you normalize what you are sexually attracted to. That's how someone explained it to me once.

>>3125 this is not all about NoPorn (there are many other reasons to do it) but definitely one of the biggest things about it. First time i discovered i liked femdom i watched some quite vanilla videos with a bit of femdom in them and i found them INCREDIBILY arousing. I didn't like things like orgasm denial, prostate milking or strapons at the time (tbh i found those almost disgusting). Until a couple of months ago, two/three years after that, i couldn't fap anymore without watching pegging/teasing videos. This happens due to desensitization: you always need something more extreme to get off. After discovering animes, i began fapping to lolicon, and after discovering chan culture and seeing "what are your fetishesh" threads on /r9k with people listing TONS of weird things saying they were normal people and now they fap to traps, extreme violence and so on i realized i needed to stop watching porn, or otherwise i'd have ended addicted to horrible things like CP or similar. What's more, i suspected that my brand-new orgasm denial fetish unconsciously drove me into chasing after some tease bitches IRL, and consequently suffer from that. Every time i fapped on femdom i felt an absolute shiet after coming. Now i almost completely stopped watching porn, and it feels good man. I already listed major benefits in >>3051

4-5 days now, its getting weird.

get a fap in bra

>>3133 >bra Is this a crossdressing thread now?

>>3048 Well bro having a low sex drive is a sign of poor health. :( you can't feel good if you're at such a point in life

>>3121 There is another reason for doing no porn. It makes you fap more than you would naturally. Think about it in terms of evolution. Contemporary humans evolved about 10 - 2 million years ago. 2 million years ago your ancestors were very lucky if they met 4 - 5 women like pic related in their lifetime. Fapping after seeing someone like that is very natural, but doing so daily is something that didn't happen.

>>3134 only if you want it to be

>>3138 Our ancestors millions of years ago met exactly zero women like that, with perfect skin, no body hair, silicon tits and photoshopped hips. Not 4-5 times in their less than 30 year average lifespan. There's no saying what men thought was attractive then anyway. In some cultures, fat women were viewed as more attractive because it signified prosperity and also that they were built for bearing children and breastfeeding. They would greet that woman as you would greet something that walked off a flying saucer meaning they would probably hide, thinking she had some disease or curse (and at least you'd have a conceptual framework to put aliens into) My points about the artificial appearance of the girl indirectly makes your conclusion stronger though, even if the example used is not the best.

>>3141 lol you're right
