    Hi guys,

    i have been having some troubles with studying and doing NoFap. I have some pretty serious exam that is going determine my career, so i have been studying non stop for this exam. I'll probably need one more year of studying to pass. I like doing NoFap while studying because it really helps with brain fog and being more energetic, not having depression, besides other benefits. But, on the other hand, the urges to fap from the stress of studying are so strong, that it makes really difficult to concentrate and i start to ready slower.

    Now this makes me wonder if it is right to do nofap while studying, specially since studying for this exam is going to take such a long time and its really important for my career. I mean, the objective of doing NoFap is to go out more and meet new people or a girlfriend. But, i also know that, in my perspective, since im a 5'3 height guy(not because of genetics, but because of enviromental issues, my parents were imigrants back then), it will be much harder to meet a girl, although im like multimillonaire, which unfortunately attracts the worst...


    But the point is, should i do NoFap while studying? is it worth if its important for my career and im going to spend such a long time studying alone? At least when i masturbate, it helps release the tension, but also keeps me umotivated, unhappy, and other stuff. Thanks in advance for the response.

  2. Do you think that someone on this site will recommend that you masturbate? I don't think so, just look for other ways to release your anxiety like listening to music or exercising.

    Hello. I got the Same Problem Like You

    When studying and working similarly You think fapping relaxes Mind and Body. But its Not necessary. When i was Young i Always fapped.

    It Takes time
    IT bring's You down (sadness/Depression)
    Makes You uncencentrated
    Worse sleep
    Only thinking about Sex while Not having any
    No Motivation or Joy in Life.

    IT might relieve You but thats for a price .. dont make Business mit the Devils or any compromise regarding porn.

    Porn and fapping are 90% regtet, Shame, downward Spiral and 10% enjoyment and relaxation. That I would call a very Bad Business

    Find other ways to relax.
    I fapped today and what has it brought me? Nothing. IT makes me a slower Reader. IT bring's me down.

    Hello guys. I'm also in the middle of my exams and the urge to fap is very strong especially when you study alone at night. But honestly i have fapped thinking it will release the pressure But the same night I won't have motivation to study, the next day, I won't study hard again because the guilt will be haunting me. Please By the Grace of God, do fall into that temptation.

    I dont even want to masturbate, but i have no choice. Its impossible to study alone and not masturbate. The body doesnt seem to understand that.

    I'm in a flatline but my university performance is stellar. I've gotten 100% on nearly all of my assignments and I'm in a demanding major. It's not just about having motivation to do things, I also think clearly and remember things better. Nofap is worth trying no matter what man. Uncontrollable urges are best dealt with in the gym or under a steady stream of cold water.

    Makes me think, when someone is out of the flatline, then what would their performance be like?!

    Reading this, you might wonder whether I'm really in a flatline. But my libido is absolutely not present.

  8. Exercise is essential. Your body is meant to move and burn fuel. I had a big work-related exam last week and masturbated right before to make sure I didn't have any stray thoughts. Then a few days ago (after the exam), I started "no masturbating to orgasm" (I'm allowing myself edging with porn and coming inside my wife only).

    you can try it out... Maybe a fast fap to porn will relieve your Body so you can study again… Just beware: after fapping to porn, you have to tell yourself NO because otherwise you want to do it again and again and again until you failed your exam instead of studying enough...

    You can do it man. You need to have a STRONG conviction. Realize that your life is going to a standstill unless you do something drastic.

    I never knew what extreme (stark) negative effects it has for our studying Performance if we fap to porn every day for Hours...

    What do you mean by the last sentence? My life is going to a standstill unless I do something drastic? Do you have an example of what you mean by "drastic"? :)

    I just mean give it everything you got. We don't do that until we're truly desperate.

    I was desperate to get women… Today I fapped again to porn, but now I am down afterwards. It's really not easy to Control oneself… but I guess I will pass my Semester at my cultural studies.
     
  17. Maybe we shouldn't think of it as CONTROL but as DISCIPLINE. And if you feel you failed, so fucking what? It's what you do AFTER failure that counts.

    I think porn fapping worsens Sleep Quality. But what is one supposed to do if he can't get women? It seems that porn fapping is the only Option left. After all, I have lived like this since I was 14 or 17. If I only do it sometimes in the evening, it won't be as bad. The problem also is: I feel like in a pseudo religious community which worries me a bit. It's like we all seek salvation: and our Religion is not watching porn or fapping… But the scientific proof is not yet there. It just seems that it might not be good for us… But what is the "safe" porn amount to still function well, and still get that fapping done cumming all over our place? At times in my life it would have been better to resist… (of Course also now I wanna study perfectly, which means: not masturbate BUT STUDY)... so the time factor is an Argument.
