    The title made you want to read, eh? Well, I know this may not be a popular topic for NoFap, but I think it's one worth discussing. Can you think of reasons why fapping while you were growing up may have been good for your life?

    Personal example/thought: I've been committed to NoFap since mid July 2014 (3+ months now). I have PMO'ed probably 3 times in that period, which is the fewest times I have PMO'ed since I was 12 or 13 (that is, 21 years). I am so overwhelmed with hormones and horniness now, it makes me wonder what my hormone/testosterone levels would have been when I was 18 if I didn't PMO 3-4 times a day during that period of my life. I think I would have gone crazy. I seriously think my grades would have been lower, my sex drive would have been higher, and I would have listened too much to my penis and would have gotten somebody pregnant. Because I was PMO'ing several times a day, I think that saved me from having kids at an early age, and probably kept my school grades up.

    Any thoughts?

    I don't think we can deniy that masturbating can be good for us. After all, everything in moderation is fine. Obviously the reason we are all here tho is that we take this further and allow it to take over our lives. I do agree, I think I would have been a wreck at that age had I not jerked off and balanced myself out, I just regret that I allowed it to get out of control without me seeing it.

    Agree with above comments. I'd only add that our generation is dealing with something that none of our forefathers have ever had to deal with: High speed internet.

    Wanking a few times a week to your dad's magz would have had very little effect in your overall health and psyche. Now, with high speed internet in most people's pockets, wanking a few times an hour is the new norm and that has definitely taken a huge toll on productivity, sexual health, and emotions.

    First, I want to say that I'm not trying to say this is all bad and wrong, or to come down on you personally. I think this question is perfectly valid and the subject is something we all probably think about from time to time. But...

    I think you're leaving out a pretty key factor is your self-examination, which is that you DID PMO 3-4 times a day when you were 13-14.

    So did I, and by doing so I trained myself to PMO, and my body now expects that release. My hormones are driving me crazy now, because for 30+ years I've been PMOing and all that energy that used to go into PMO is blocked. It doesn't know what else to do with itself.

    When I was 13, discovering the joys of whacking off, I didn't know I was training myself, it just felt good, but I'm sure I could have found other ways to direct that energy. Had I done so, who knows what I might be by now? Sure, maybe I'd be a serial killer or have knocked some poor girl up, but maybe I'd be a best-selling novelist, or a brain surgeon, or an olympic athlete. God knows, I could have learned to do just about anything in the time I've spent jerking off the past 30 years.
