Nofap
#1
Do any of you guys do nofap? There’s a huuuuuuge community behind it on Reddit. A lot of people believe it gives you super powers lol what are your guys thoughts



#2
I mean probably not the most fertile ground to find nofappers here. Just sayin’



#3
lols yeah wrong forum for that question.
However, I think it is probably healthy to take a break from porn.
Kinda like taking a weed vacation Big Grin



#4
people who do no fap have actual super powers. they can probably levitate or something lol



#5
nofap is a myth, no porn or "less" porn is a different topic



#6
I heard masturbating was good for you.



#7
It is! It has several temporary benefits asides from elevating your mood. Though, with nofappers I can get behind the idea of practicing self discipline in order to curb a oncoming or present addiction. Accountability to nofap is a major key along with distancing yourself from porn. I've done it for a span of 2 or 3 weeks or so, but that was ages ago haha. I feel that while sexual freedom is the goal there's a lot of guilt or some escapism that can come from masturbation

tried it for a week a couple months ago and it may have been the hardest week of my life lol. it was definitely worth it afterwards. not worth it during it though



#9
Not possible for me! Haha

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of reprobating pleasure and extolling pain arose. To do so, I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure? On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.

i briefly tried it last november but quit like a week in, mainly cause i was just stopping myself from relieving sexual tension and feeling good. it makes no sense to me.
