No-Fap and Productivity
Is pic related true?
Can't you just fap for like 2-3 days a week and still be productive?
Do you really need to follow it to the extreme like some schizos around here suggest?
This is Zig Forums related jannies please don't remove, other boards are full of coomers to have a sensible debate.

this shit fucking works
maybe only for certain people with damaged dopamine receptors, but fuck me, have so much energy after a week or so
No doubt it does, but I wanted to make the thread to get reviews like yours.
I was a coomer, but over the last few months I went to once a day then once every alternate day and now I have been cutting it down to 2-3 times a week.
I feel extra motivated and have been productive no doubt, but wondering if I should take the next step and cut it down completely.
I feel more focused now that I'm not cumming my brains out.
>Less brain fog
You a no fapper or occassional coomer?
Of course it's real. Think of how much fucking time/dopamine you waste on it. Bet you won't stop though.
I don’t think I have the mental strength to completely stop, but I have come a long way in cutting it down.
I’m pretty sure this is just a long con psyop to give anons prostate cancer
It is. I've probably experimented with this shit for years now. Every single time I become a coomer I start backsliding in every aspect of life.
Unironically true at least until building momentum stage. Never tried longer myself
Its harder to see yourself as having the strength when youre still inside the challenge, but once you gain some degree of mastery you realize youre capable of alot more than you thought.
Also I found from MY personal experimentation that it's not necessarily the porn or even edging, counter intuitively. If I don't coom, I still retain the benefits. I've become really good at controlling my perinium muscles in a way that I never involunatrily coom. I can just edge and get to a point where I'm satisfied.
Won’t that just mean more frequent wet dreams?
Part of why I am hesitant is this too, there are some studies that paint a very bad picture of complete abstinence.
I always thought erectile function was a use it or lose it thing. I usually can go about 2 weeks before I cave
Same, what’s the point of complete abstinence if you’re gonna coom anyways at night?
Occasional coomer
Too bad my occupation is porn artist
This is the psyop
Israel is an illegitimate state and has no right to exist
I thought porn was a psyop, are you implying nofap is a psyop?
nofap is incredibly distracting; after a few weeks you will end up on bumble tinder etc trying to get with somebody.
i find content with no nudity or sex acts aka softcore porn a good middle ground. very little demoralization from that ive found
You have a point, but isn’t that something most people want? To get out there and meet a partner?
Might be detrimental for me since I live in bumfuck nowhere.
Also what you said about softcore is spot on, I’ve stayed away from porn that has a guy.
Nofap is a psyop to ressurect the middleclass, you make bad decisions around women if you stop to coom.
I'd say porn is as fucked as masturbating
I managed to cut to 1-2 times a week. Occasionally go for a couple week stretch. After day 5-6 you sort of forget about masturbating. But when I do regress I find the struggle to get the days up just as though again. Maybe a little easier.
I notice moments my coom brain wants to take over and have learnt to not let myself give in.
Any coomers want to chip in? I want to see some counter-arguments.
Just don't watch porn. If I don't fap for a few days I have trouble falling asleep. I only only fap to my imagination and I only use it as a sleeping aid. No negative effects. If you're really addicted it'll be a different story.
There's not really much of a counter argument since this whole thing is based on the assumption that "productivity" is better than dopamine.
I couldn't give less shits about being a better slave for my corporate overlords but if you feel like that's your thing then goodie you.
>softcore
>no nudity

how about working on yourself instead of jacking off
To me productivity is important because I am trying to build a business for myself, this may be a stretch to ask but have any anons here that tried nofap felt it contribute to the success of their business or startup?
Porn is free and readily available
Really makes you think
How is your default assumption working for Mr. Shekelberg?
Most people who research on this want to be productive to escape the wagekikery.
Yes it works at least for me. I have to do it at least 1 week to get it into effect. I like the part where I'm motivated to do something productive rather than watching porn all my life.
Getting horny and edge will come in 3 days or so, it's the only hardest days when doing no coom.
One thing I noticed is that when sometimes I feel demotivated and lethargic to do anything, I would just watch porn. Somehow it works to get my energy back, maybe because of the forced dopamine release. You know that's bad. I just need to find something to replace that bad habit.
Idc about this shit, but you are cherry picking singular factors out of a big picture even if it were true. If anything, you should look into general demographics pursuing certain lifestyles. E.g. certain types of monks are supposedly one of the longest-living demographics in the world despite "muh abstinence equals prostate cancer." Then quality marriages are supposed to make you live longer, too, with married couples allegedly having more intercourse than sexually liberal swingers. etc.
I don't need a degree to know that the coomer is one of the demographics with the lowest life-expectancy, no matter what cherry-picked "muh prostate cancer" articles state. Especially in a society in which mindless sexuality is encouraged and academia is for the plebs curated by corporate interests in form of their MSM outlets.
11 month nofap reporting
lifechanging experience for sure
i literally turned from a guy who paid whores to cuddle and fuck who was too shy to speak to women to a guy who could literally fuck any women he wants now. i got enormously confident in myself and my abilities. i turned to a whole alpha. the journey is easy if you are willing to change your fucked up life. the first 3 months was hard my balls hurted really bad for a few days but after that nature really awards you with everything a alpha male needs. bitches notice it too. its like as if they could smell that your balls are heavily loaded with high quality semen and want to help you to unload it. i am 22 and i got this year my first gf. now i don't even want to fuck her and consider having sex after marriage. at one point you will realize that not having sex is better than sex. i hope i could help you to give a proper inside of the experience of not fapping almost a year. i hope you make the right decision anons
its a bit optimistic with how fast most of the results appear (at least from my experience + 90 days is the most widely accepted timeframe for a full reset), and in that they are achieved solely by abstaining from porn which is not true, you still need to work on social skills, going out, working out etc
it’s definitely a game changed for daily coomers and semi-autists, normans dont see much difference in mindset/charisma, though they often get porn induced ED that they wont admit as for some reason they still watch porn even when they have regular sex in a relationship
