Real take on NoFap...

First off, NoFap isn't primarily about making your life better. It is about overcoming addiction.

Second, the amount that a person is addicted and how it affects their lives varies from person to person. For some, they are major addicts and quitting has major impacts on their life. For others, they aren't as addicted and quitting doesn't have much impact.

Third, saying that if you are watching porn everyday and masturbating and are happy is fine is a totally okay statement to make. Just not here. I wouldn't go up to an alcoholic who is part of AA and wants to be free and tell them it is fine if they drink if it makes them happy. That doesn't help them. We are here to help each other, regardless of what we think. I get that that might be your opinion, but as a Fapstronaut you have a responsibility to help your brothers. The reason why I don't post sexy pics is because it doesn't help. If your comment doesn't help, shut up with it.

Again, I'm not saying what you are saying isn't true for you. I'm saying that NoFap isn't about life-enhancing superpowers and that you have no reason to be posting this here.

I don't mean to be a prick. I wish you the best on your fight to be free, though it looks like you already might be, brother.

 

Yeah I agree. For some people who aren’t addicts, sure... Jerk off, whatever. But for someone like me, that could have been the post that gave me the “fuck it’s” and killed my streak.... You know what I mean....

 

Are you eating healthy?, cold showering, meditation, working out?, NoFap is about constantly bettering yourself, ofcourse simply no pmo will not make your life perfect, you have to add on to that.

 

Thanks for being honest.

It definitely is not life altering.

I think as humans, we tend to create unrealistic expectations from most possibilities in our lives.

Personally, I would be happy to see changes like increase in confidence, morale boost from knowing that I have finally overcome an addiction, and stop myself from going deeper into more darker forms of PMO.

Good luck for your next 300+ day streak.

 

Why would you come and post such hate? Kindly delete your account and don't come back here if you have nothing good to say.

 

So you are going to say "your own experience" kinda translates to everyone else?
So you are saying everybody here is a liar and only your own experience is credible.

Look dude, we don't care. If you have succeeded with your reboot then we are happy for you. But your experience isn't everbody's experience.
Your problems aren't everbody's problems. Some guys here may have different symptoms of addiction than you. Some guys here may be more severely addicted than you.

I don't really see the point of your post. Are you going to say then, that not being on this website and fapping unrestrained to porn all day is better than being here and trying not to?

I don't know man, I understand your frustration but don't assume your own experience is vicarious for everyone here. Show some empathy.

 

I don't think you completed 300 days on NoFap, because in just 30days of Semen retention you will see physical changes in body. May be now and then you made yourself happy (in your mind) by fapping.

 

I think a lot of us misinterpreted his post and got pretty hateful on him when it wasn’t really warranted. I mean NoFap is easy for some people and for others it’s the biggest obstacle ever. It depends on the level of addiction and the mind set to over come...

Going back to my earlier post, if a person is going to say F it, they’re going to say F it regardless of a post saying “masturbation is good”. I searched out things that told me masturbation was good just so that I’d have a good excuse to masturbate...

On the other hand, the person who is adamant about abstaining will stop at nothing...

At the end of the day I just don’t think this dude deserves total ridicule and hate. The attitudes you guys are expressing are making me feel more uneasy about NoFap than anything he said.

 

I completely agree. There is a lot more to life than NoFap. I want to make sure that you know that I wasn't pissed or angry or anything. I just didn't agree with the way that you presented your thoughts. If I caused offense, it was accidental and I do apologize. I want the best for and all the guys (and gals) here on NoFap. Fight on brother!

 

congrats on passing 300 days ! keep it strong ! maybe its true to you ,but its not very inspiring to say those things , i think you need to read again what belongs in this section!

 

Life in PMO is passive - living under the direction of your last urge and thinking that the only way to stop the cycle is to give in to it.

Life without PMO is very different. Having the freedom to say no to the urge and redirect it in a healthy way.

Where you direct your life with new found freedom is key. This is where the change takes place. The point of this site - it seems to me - is to put a person back in the driver's seat instead of being underneath the wheels. Where you choose to drive - again, with new found freedom - is a decision that each person makes. This is where lives can be changed in varying degrees.

PEACE
