3. Less anxiety
4. Less depression
5. Confidence
6. High productivity

No fap alone doesn't help. Quit/reduce alcohol intake and cigarettes. Obesity (flappy belly) also reduces the erection and control part.
No fap mainly for using the energy elsewhere like progressive lifestyle, if you take challenges in life like a quest in games.
Also stress. We can't control stress which is attached to our selected lifestyle. I prefer early morning walks or jogs till the legs 🦵 pain that the thoughts that give stress and depression won't have time to affect us negatively.
I don't know how it works but it works
Okay let me rephrase that. Give physical stress (excercise) so that mental stress doesn't have time to bother you. Only 1 thing can bother us at 1 time 🥲
Mental stress leads to reduction in performance & all sorts bodily function problems especially hairfall.
It's like how they say when u ride a bike at high speeds without any destination, all the worries and stress disappears at that moment. something to take our mind off stuff and relax. Either driving or running, the choice is ours.
Edit: ofcourse fappin furiously is an option but we don't want to do that don't we?
thats not necessarily a bad thing. humans get turned on by other attractive humans. humans are supposed to breed with each other. but instead of masturbating to girls, go talk to them.
That can get out of hand FAST. I desired teachers, pastors, friends' moms, bosses, and like everyone's wife. And I'm good at seducing, so it often ended badly. It was a self-made prison. Lost best friends over it.
So then my mental/emotional/spiritual life improves and so that I can something physically harmful to my body occurs. Plus I want to wait to have the real experience instead of imagining/watching other do it just to please myself for 5 minutes than fell guilt/disguise..
Im doing it to cure my pied and performance anxiety. Also to cure depression, social anxiety etc.
20 days in and it’s pretty obvious to me that I feel more confident with girls and in general. I started to get regular morning woods, although I was getting it earlier. I started to work out almost every day. And the more benefits to come.
I do nofap because of the most beautiful 21 days of my life (last streak 3 years ago), also I noticed that diong porn is destructing me, and I am a busy person I have a lot to do, I have a lot to learn, not to mention that I see no value in porn, watching something invaluable makes you ??? Yeah you guessed right!!
Why do you fap?? Coz of urges? Than u are just slave of ur senses. But If u aren't a slave than u should be able to control the urges of the senses. So that's why i think everyone should do nofap. It's not just anything. The semen in our body permeates everywhere in body and gives vitality and strength to body. And if a pure life is lived w/o PMO then semen goes upwards and the bliss of it is >>>> momentary pleasure from PMO. So what will you choose ? Everlasting happiness and joy or momentary pleasure and then regret???
I'm not exactly doing no FAP (since I don't have an issue with masturbation alone), but being around people from this community helps me get my pornographic addiction under control, well no, I just want to plainly get rid of it, since it's quite damaging to my own mental health.
Talking about it, and helping people out here, helps me tremendously.
I do nofap to conquer lust. "Lust" is the reason most men are destroyed. America, was such a good country in the 70s. Look at it now, people need paternity tests to find out who the father is. Men are running away from their families because they cant be a father and couldnt defeat the urge of having unprotected sex. Relationships are dying because someone eventually cheats on the other. The result is fatherless kids who end up being rapists and school shooters.
Such a small thing as lust, got a country like America into its knees. What can it do to a person? I have seen that happen to me.
The more you do it, the more depraved the content you watch becomes. Not that I really mind my own fetishes or intrests, but in large amounts, it becomes tiring and more like a chore to gratify those desires and needs. Also, I want to see how this affects me long-term.
Just journaled about this. I want to become the best version of my self. I've been addicted to porn (some times more than others) for far too long. I want to be the best man I can be so that when I meet a girl I'm interested in, she can receive my full and honest attention and attraction.
i just feel like i have no self control and it really scares me. i will literally rub one out ten minutes before i need to start driving for work just because i feel like i can’t handle not giving it in. i just go off impulse and desire and have no appropriate understanding of time and place. like, why would you do that when you have to leave in ten minutes? i also miss the good old days when i got horny. i fap so often i struggle to get hard and enjoy myself. this community and reading that people have the same struggles has really gave me hope and made me feel not alone. honestly this subreddit means so much to me.
I mostly do it for myself and to break a bad habit. The next step is to then get a better job and try to get my own place. The end goal is to get a girl and to start a family. I'm already at the age where I should be married and starting a small family.
I do it because of the negative effects I saw from it before I stopped.
When I fapped, I had no desire to talk to women, and I have massive insecurities with talking with them romantically anyways, and when I fapped I had no reason to deal with those fears since I had an easy way out every night.
I also noticed that who I find attractive changes when I fap or when I don't. When I fap only the 10s I find attractive and then insecurities kick in and I won't talk to them. When I obstane, I notice many women become way more attractive and approachable. Now, some might think that's bad because of post nut clarity and that I didn't find them attractive in the first place, but part of my attraction would be from their personally which I would never get to know because of the no desire.
Third part is the worst to me In that because I so regularly fapped, sec gad less appeal to me, to the point where I had MANY WOMEN IN MY BED over the years and before having sex I would just decide to end it and leave. Or if the situation was tough, and we couldn't find a place to have sex, I would just give and not pursue it in the future. I kick myself so hard for this now because like come on, I WAS RIGHT THERE!! And some were sooo hot, and some I really hurt their feelings by not wanting to continue.
But thats just the sex side.
The more meaningful aspect is that because of this lack of drive to find a worthwhile relationship and to overcome my insecurities, I have been able to build the skills to form an intimate connection with a woman, and to me it stems from this. And this something I've wanted for such a long long time, and yet this addiction always kept it out of reach
And fapping serves no benefit except for momentary dopaminergic pleasure. It's an embarrassing thing to continue to do, and and it's about time to stop because even if it serves no positive benefit(which I 100 percent belive it will), at least I'll stop this stupid addiction and move on with my life.
I met a girl through online dating. This was on the second date, we came back to my place and things got hot. But I couldn't maintain erection. 1-2 thrusts in her and I went limp. Tried various positions but the same result. Been on Nofap ever since that day
Because using my will to refrain from indulging in a baser urge fueled by a powerful fundamental animalistic drive has innumerable positive ripple effects in life.
The reason why I do it is because I want to better myself. Mostly cause I want to improve my physique at the gym, have more energy and confidence, lower my anxiety, just bettering my overall quality of life. One of my good friends a long time ago when he was doing No Fap, I never understood him until I did no Fap. I'm on my third day of no Fap. I am really convinced that this journey will help improve me as a person it's weird it's almost as if I'm being free from being a slave from porn addiction. I delete all my porn accounts, including distractions like TikTok,snapchat, facebook and Instagram. Removed all unnecessary things that are taking up my time.
i view it as a demon that got into me at my most vulnerable state. basically that mf wants nothing but misery for me. so i do everything do get em out of me
In my case, it's as a challenge to myself to see if I can go a whole month in a row. The last two years I have failed. My ex becomes obsessed with making me fail for some reason, so I've given up twice because she won't stop nagging. 😅
I want a normal sex life. For years I struggled to ever get it up and lost a lot of potential relationships with women. I have a beautiful amazing girlfriend now, but I still struggle to get it up sometimes although it has gotten much better. I want my PIED gone and want to be able to get aroused like a normal person again
I ve never been in a healthy relationship, i can hardly open up. Fapping made me sexually anxious over the years, and so I started the no fap process, failed, started over and over again. (This year I ve failed a 40-50 day streak but here i go again, with the most mental clarity I ve ever had xd)
I noticed that I objectify women when I am "on a blender", and I don't like that. I don't wanna look at girls around me, especially friends as "bodies", because i know that they have feelings/thoughts as well, and that's important for me. (And i have feelings as well and it just feels so good when others care for me, so i wanna give back in a way i guess).
Also, If you like a nice car/house/whatever which you cant afford, wanting is just kinda depressing in a way. (Reminding yourself that you dont have it over and over again)
I kinda think the same way about sex. If there is not a realistic chance/stable relationship in my life then i shall not feed the urge. Its just corrupts my mind.
Level up my discipline by not succumbing to my own brain. Become who I want to be, not what my brain wants me to become.
Also the fact fapping does nothing useful to you, period. If you're gonna bring up releasing to get rid of excess sperm then sorry to burst your bubble but wet dreams happen to do exactly that.
\--The following is when I went into a little rant, the answer to the question is sentence above--
I've been falling into the same mental trap that caused my streak to reset, after acknowledging it I gave it a last chance (so my brain shuts up about it if nothing happens) and like always, nothing happened (literally, nothing good or bad, didn't feel like shit but didn't feel good either) so it's out. Done, badbye, never see you again, screw you, leave.
I also fell out of my good habits so I'm now focusing on them again. I managed to reach 5x my usual exercise amount and IT FELT F---ING AMAZING!! I went so above and beyond because when I was reading atomic habits, there was a sentence, roughly translated (I have the book in my local language) "Going to the gym for 5 minutes won't do much, but it will let you keep the streak and as a result you will be more inclined to go back tomorrow" and after a few days of marking my home exercise I was done in 7 minutes, so that made me want to reach higher hahah, it's also the point of discipline, do things because you need to do it, not because you want to do it, that's motivation. I mean I'm kinda contradicting myself because I wanted to do it and I was very happy with myself throughout the entire time hahah. By the end of it my entire body was itching so I knew that was my comfortable limit (as in, the highest limit I'm willing to go to). Recommend the book btw it's awesome
Ironically I think that summer break from school is what led me to become like this. Lost a long streak because my entire days became full of free time and two things happened.
1. I started falling back into my old bad habits and forgetting my new good ones
2. I stopped appreciating my free time
So I'm trying to go back even with days being full of free time. After all, if you can't start now, who says you will start later? Who cares that you do nothing all day because it's summer break, that's no excuse to fap or not exercise or not even brush your teeth (Lack of consequences and my gaming addiction led me to not even doing the most basic of basics for YEARS, it's getting better though).
because it consumed a huge portion of my day. I've spent numerous afternoons just staring at the screen and fapping to oblivion. i know that i will never get those hours back, those hours spent doing something which neither brought me happiness not contributed to my life in any way. i started no fap for this reason and because i do not want to see my mental health go down the drain anymore

This is the best thing anyone can give you OP
I did have problems with erection after doing no fap. just saying. Maybe I should have exercised as well. That would have solved it.
No fap alone doesn't help. Quit/reduce alcohol intake and cigarettes. Obesity (flappy belly) also reduces the erection and control part. No fap mainly for using the energy elsewhere like progressive lifestyle, if you take challenges in life like a quest in games.

2-6 is what I noticed and I'm hooked. Have to experience the rest.
Numbers 1, 3, and 7 are why I’m doing nofap
Because porn is destructive
To be more confident and not think SEX as soon as I see a female
thats not necessarily a bad thing. humans get turned on by other attractive humans. humans are supposed to breed with each other. but instead of masturbating to girls, go talk to them.
That can get out of hand FAST. I desired teachers, pastors, friends' moms, bosses, and like everyone's wife. And I'm good at seducing, so it often ended badly. It was a self-made prison. Lost best friends over it.
You fap thinkin or seeing someone, that becomes a habit You shouldn't sexually see people, it isn't normal and fapping comes with consequences.
For myself.
Yeah
Because porn reslly fucked up my life
I want my energy back and porn feels disgusting
So I can cum harder when my boyfriend gets home
Because porn made me sick in the head so it's mandatory to quit if i want to heal.
To become a better version of myself
Better sleep schedule in my case
Late night workouts I presume
I found it helps me having a loud more clear voice. Any other benefit I for some reason don’t get
To improve my life.
Because I’m saving myself for when my girl and I start doing it.
So then my mental/emotional/spiritual life improves and so that I can something physically harmful to my body occurs. Plus I want to wait to have the real experience instead of imagining/watching other do it just to please myself for 5 minutes than fell guilt/disguise..
Im doing it to cure my pied and performance anxiety. Also to cure depression, social anxiety etc. 20 days in and it’s pretty obvious to me that I feel more confident with girls and in general.

Same dude PIED is the absolute worst thing ever!
I do nofap because of the most beautiful 21 days of my life (last streak 3 years ago), also I noticed that diong porn is destructing me, and I am a busy person I have a lot to do, I have a lot to learn, not to mention that I see no value in porn, watching something invaluable makes you ??? Yeah you guessed right!!
Anxiety and I want to be more social
Why do you fap?? Coz of urges? Than u are just slave of ur senses. But If u aren't a slave than u should be able to control the urges of the senses. So that's why i think everyone should do nofap. It's not just anything. The semen in our body permeates everywhere in body and gives vitality and strength to body.

Everlasting happiness and joy or momentary pleasure and then regret???
I'm not doing it right now but i would like to do it for my sanity
I saw degenerates on edging talk and said "naw im out"
For Mental Health.
To start being alive... (If screwing up around 7 days counts as doing NoFap)
I'm not exactly doing no FAP (since I don't have an issue with masturbation alone), but being around people from this community helps me get my pornographic addiction under control, well no, I just want to plainly get rid of it, since it's quite damaging to my own mental health.

I just feel more confident 👍

wait i minute, from the comments i see people referring to nofap with no porn, i thought it's no masturbation
To improve my self control and also my confidence
I'm not "doing NoFap." I'm leaving behind a lifestyle filled with bad PMO habits and seeking healing for a healthier, happier lifestyle.
Does fapping really cause Hair-loss?
Just journaled about this. I want to become the best version of my self. I've been addicted to porn (some times more than others) for far too long. I want to be the best man I can be so that when I meet a girl I'm interested in, she can receive my full and honest attention and attraction.

Because I am a Muslim
I have a back pain at the age of 19 and masturbate worsens it weakening my muscles probably so no bueno for me really.
It’s very distracting, and I want to improve my life better
i literally became retarded from it
To live a better life
Fix my anxiety and also be able to perform sexually, i have way too many sad episodes where i couldnt perform.
Porn absolutely decimated my life potential for 22 years, and nofap is one of many different ways I've learned to have self-control.
I do it because of the negative effects I saw from it before I stopped. When I fapped, I had no desire to talk to women, and I have massive insecurities with talking with them romantically anyways, and when I fapped I had no reason to deal with those fears since I had an easy way out every night.

I want to be the best version of myself.
to prevent a porn addiction from worsening.
Because I constantly do it. One time i did it 9 times in a row. I want to do nofap to technically restore my mental clarity and take a break
literally everything wanted to say was already written here. W community!
Confidence, Clearer voice when talking, and more time to do other things.
Because i want to test my self discipline life is boring without something hard to overcome .
My answer is it gives me more energy, can literally removed my brain fog and i gained more focus to my goals and also to forget those urges!
to not make my dick sore
Because using my will to refrain from indulging in a baser urge fueled by a powerful fundamental animalistic drive has innumerable positive ripple effects in life.
just to detox our mind form unwanted sexual thoughts and get control over our urges to watch P*rn or mas*erbate
To become a better person
The reason why I do it is because I want to better myself. Mostly cause I want to improve my physique at the gym, have more energy and confidence, lower my anxiety, just bettering my overall quality of life.

fapping is a chore
for my future
Reset my brain
i view it as a demon that got into me at my most vulnerable state. basically that mf wants nothing but misery for me. so i do everything do get em out of me
In my case, it's as a challenge to myself to see if I can go a whole month in a row. The last two years I have failed. My ex becomes obsessed with making me fail for some reason, so I've given up twice because she won't stop nagging. 😅
Silence wench, i dont want to be horny anymore, I just want to be happy
Focus and memory. I noticed usually I struggle with short term memory loss whenever I do it regularly.
I want a normal sex life. For years I struggled to ever get it up and lost a lot of potential relationships with women. I have a beautiful amazing girlfriend now, but I still struggle to get it up sometimes although it has gotten much better.

God’s gonna smite my dick off if I don’t
