Does Nofap increase mental clarity?

    What are your experiences? Does it? I'm seven days in and Ive noticed my visual awareness has improved (though that may not not be a result of Nofap) but I still feel like I can't think properly or that something is missing

    Ive noticed huge mental clarity when doing nofap. It feels easier to talk to and listen, I can focus on my goals and healthy habits, and makes thoughts come and go much easier if that makes sense hah. But most off all it gives me emotional clarity, my feelings feel much stronger and more controlable.

    Ah, so when you say your emotions are stronger, does that mean you laugh more and harder? I feel like I have no sense of humour, nothing makes me laugh. Things make me grin but not laugh

    I personally can't say I noticed much difference other than not having to think about feeling bad after PMO sessions. Really, it has just been a shift in focus to other issues.

    I would say so, yes. Dealing with impulses with instant gratification aka PMO, induces apathy in people. I know how ot feels to find nothing funny or not reacting to people emotionally and it might have a deeper root then just PMO but doing NoFap can only help you

    I notice that my focus is much better, but when i talk to someone i cant feel a thing and it feels very boring. I also have this feeling of anxiety the whole day it drives me crazy :(

    I think your right about PMO not being the sole cause because I have been having difficulties with anxiety, which I know depletes your dopamine

    Oh so you have anxiety too. Sounds like the lack of emotion is definitely related to anxiety, which isn't exactly a revelation it's well known. It's just good to get confirmation

    I know, for one reason or another, I stifled my belly laughs. The laugh qualities were likely around 1/4-1/3 what they should have been. Not really sure why I did that.

    This is the area I feel I'm at now, finding the other deeper roots.
     
  12. It doesn't do anything for me in this regard. I am not fapping at all at the moment and all I get is urges and fantasies that rather distract. I have no clue where those ideas of "superpowers" come from. All I get is a big dick.

    It happens when u don’t watch p for a few months. The cortex repairs itself then. Cortex can impact on humours.
     
  14. Yep for me watching porn spikes my dopamine and basically makes me dopey .

    Your saying that porn can damage the cortex? In what way?
