Hey all, I hit my 90 day milestone on Friday! To celebrate, I had a girl over. Can say with confidence that my PIED is restored and that sex is a lot better than it was when I did PM. I am generally much happier and very glad to be off porn! I want to thank this community. Without Nofap, quitting porn/masturbation wouldn't even have occurred to me and it has made me much happier. I've been quite vocal to other men as well to stop watching porn, at least. Question: what do people think about picking up healthy masturbation again (i.e. without fantasy)? Is there any science on this? I don't think I want to masturbate anymore either, really... but I'm curious if people think otherwise.
Congrats, you made it to 90 days. But the journey is just beginning. I'm on day 71, just over 10 weeks. Feels great and I can say this is worth it. Hold on, stay strong.
Seriously, congradulations. I wouldn't pick it up. Find yourself a lady. It'd be too easy to revert to old habits. Pretty soon just the hand won't be enough, you slide into fantasy, then porno, then it just keeps going down. We are addicts, man. If an alcoholic who'd successfully recovered told you they were gonna start drinking beer again, but it's just beer.... what would your advice be?
To be clear, healthy masturbation is masturbation without porn or fantasy, it's sometimes called mindful masturbation. You focus only on the physical stimulation and feelings. It is in the book No More Mr Nice Guy, for example. But I don't think I'm gonna do it. I'm happier than I've ever been and when I'm horny, it is an incentive to get a girl. Cheers guys. Stay strong out there.
Question: what do people think about picking up healthy masturbation again (i.e. without fantasy)? Is there any science on this? I don't have science study to back this up but a huge part of NOFAP is semen retention. By masturbating you throw away vital energy. We know for facts that a tear of sperm is the worth 40-60 of blood. So masturbating is throwing away the work of your body. Personnally i don't know how to masturbate without fantaisizing or stuff like that and plus this is risky because it was part of your past behavior so i wouldn't recommend anyone to do that. If you really want to improve your life, you ain't going to waste time masturbating but rather work hard and improve yourself and the life of others.
Then read this topic and live by it !- https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/in-case-you-didnt-know.84619/
Find out what works for you man! I’d be careful if you start masturbating again. I would recommend going to see a sex therapist if you have access to one or finding credible information on the topic.
Congrats on 90 days. As far as masturbation, I can only speak for myself. I really don't think masturbation is something I could possibly do again without going down the same path I've always gone.
Yeah dont bother bro, you've already proven that you dont need it, your life has got better since you stopped, and your getting laid. You literally have no excuse to. Congrats on your achievement, absolutely awesome
