Does nofap actually have unique benefits that go beyond one less source of instant gratification? I see people argue on both sides but I feel like it'd be more nuanced than "it literally shrinks your brain and lowers your IQ" or "it doesn't affect anything"
>>33836449No, all it does is lower sexual inhibitions. I did nofap in college and it led to me fucking some girls I was not proud of
>>33836449If you're a porn and/or fap addict it may help. Normal people won't and it won't do much.The biggest talking point I see is that supposedly it will give its practitioners the motivation and the confidence to actually go after women (which sometimes gets memed into le magic powers) but the truth is you shouldn't need nofap to do that anyway because it should be your default state if you're a healthy man.
>>33836449Jewish scholars have been writing about this for millennia. If you're autistic or mentally ill, then nofap won't help. If you're normal but have taken a bad life path it will help. However, bear in mind that Jews do nofap since birth so they are far ahead of you. You can't spend your best years wasting your seed and then magically think you'll reap all the benefits of nofap with a finger snap.
From a biological/medical point of view it is healthy, as long as you're not an addict to it. It’s just the normal for your body, even if you don’t do it by yourself (since it is necesary for the health of your urethra) your body will do it naturally while you're sleeping, these are the known as "wet dreams", without it you can even have some health problems.
>>33836449it's just an overreaction to people constantly pulling their puds. The only real benefit is constantly whacking off isn't great, but no, there's no magic benefits to holding in as much nut as possible. It's just not healthy to be constantly whacking off all the time.
>>33836449Literally nothing wrong with jerking off, I'm jerking off right now haha, everything said against jerking off is a lie.
>>33836449Moderation and discipline makes a man attractive. In the body and the surrounding. If that's not your top priority or have already found it, then it doesn't have to be for you.
2 month no-fapper here. While I cannot atribute it to not fapping specifically, I can say that I am a lot happier, have a clearer mind and aren't as anxious as I used to. I have more discipline to do stuff and don't feel as miserable as I used to. If you start nofap I am sure your life will get better but don't expect anything too crazy.And if you ask, no, I still haven't had that "magical women attraction" people on nofap say. That's probably a myth.
>>33836449No, my friend did it for 70 days and it had 0 effect on him
>>33836449every body is a world and it affects people differentlyalso there is the placebo effect, if you think it's doing you harm you might feel worse for it, and if you feel it's doing wonders for you it might also improve stuff for youone thing is sure, conquering your lower desires makes you feel more in control of yourself and your life, at least a bitbut for me at least it's a byproduct of a good season instead of a catalyst of a good season, when I'm dating someone new, when I'm having a good period in my life, I usually fap less or even stop fapping for days and daysbut the body is a delicate machine, I knew someone (older) who fell for the no fap trend and while his horniness went through the roof the first week or two and he felt stronger in the gym and more outgoing with girls etc, by the third week he lost his libido completely. Like, his body assumed because of his age probably that he wasn't going to fuck anymore or something and his libido just went away.It took him a while to recover itsince then he faps at least once every couple days because he's afraid to lose it again, lolhe's not even that old, 45, I think
>>33836449I didn't jerk off for a month once and when I finally did jerk off my prostate hurt like a mother fucker for a good 15 minutes, would not recommend. Also "wet dreams" is just a way for your body to recycle the old semen you aren't getting rid of by fapping.
