    I'm a 21 year old guy from the Netherlands and after reading about nofap, I learned you will mprove yourself in diffrent ways when you stop fapping. This is because you don't need the dopamine you get from achieving a goal, because it's easier to get it from a orgasm.
    If you stop fapping, you still want the dopamine in your brain, so you will start achieving more goals, being more social, going more often to the gym etc. (those things will also trigger your brain to release dopamine.)

    I am interested in doing nofap (just started 2 days ago), but I'm asking myself if it's even usefull when I use cocaine 2/3 times a month). I'm doing this for a few years now, and I am actually someone who doesn't have trouble saying no to drugs when I decided to not take it that night. (I actually always drink pretty much alcohol, about 5 times a month). I don't have problems with using drugs in my case, I have good balance with it in my opinion.
    I never use more than half a gram, but the amount of dopamine it gives you is WAY higher than if I go fapping.

    So my question is:
    Is it usefull to stop fapping? Because my brain is used to get WAY more dopamine for just snorting cocaine.

    (if it is still usefull, please explain me why it still is.)

    Personally i dont see a problem with fapping in itself. My issue and the issue for many others, is the correlation of fapping and porn. Porn addiction is a big issue for most of us, and was my reasoning for nofap.
    If you can fap in moderation without associating it to porn, then it may not be an issue. It all depends on what you are looking to achieve. Some people on here are all into "semen retention". I dont understand that. Plus im sexually active, so that wouldnt even be a thing for me anyway.

    why do you need those stimulations? you need to find happiness in your life :) So get some book and read, or go meditate. Cocaine is both wasting money and wasting energy

    I was on a 72 day streak and then I relapsed by watching porn and masturbating. BUT! I did not EJACULATE! I feel like not as fked up as I would be if I ejaculate during a relapse(which is already bad). The Pareto ratio (80/20 rule) suggested that everything is caused by 80 percent of something and 20 percent of miscellaneous stuff. For me, retaining my semen feel like that 80 percent while watching porn feel that that 20 percent. The 20 percent did not completely ruin my streak.

    What i mean here is that the nofap power probably comes from the semen retention (in my opinion)

    Please tell me what you think of this :)

    If you don't have a problem with cocaine, don't worry about it, if it doesn't trigger you to relapse, don't worry about it.
    The difference here is addiction, I'm assuming you're telling the truth, and aren't snorting a line every morning lol. On the other hand, you were probably addicted to porn, and should do nofap.

    I cant say because ive never tried semen retention. I have sex atleast once a week and I ejaculate during. Despite not "retaining semen", I've been able to refrain from porn and masturbation which was my goal. I feel like porn was my addiction and masturbation came along with it.
