    Hello, I feel I need to make this post because I've been reading some of the posts on this forum and often people say they are 4 days in, or 10 days in, however many, and they aren't seeing any benefits. Often a lot of others claim that nofap doesn't work, or semen retention doesn't work and I'd like to say if it's not working for you then you are doing something wrong, and it is your job to change that.

    NoFap does nothing if you just sit in your bed waiting for benefits to come to you. The woman attraction on nofap isn't going to happen if you just wait for woman to come up to you. You're not going to feel stronger if you don't work out, you're not going to feel confident if you're sticking to your same shitty diet, same shitty habits, and same shitty life that got you addicted to porn and playing with yourself in the first place. Nofap is only one piece of the puzzle you need to solve to fix yourself. Nofap is a stepping stone but if you're not going out and speaking to these beautiful females, if you're not using the energy from nofap to hit the gym, to tackle your goals, to work harder today than you did yesterday EVERY DAY then you are not going to receive anything and you deserve to feel like shit.

    Long story short you need to put in the work to get what you want, not playing with yourself isn't going to flip your life around, and I know a lot of others on this forum can say the same. Nofap is only going to help guide you and build a foundation but you need to hammer the nails in.

    STOP BEING LAZY

    Phsycological side too, learn to "expect", but when the expectation Don't meet, they complaint.

    I remembered not having any morning Wood for 1 week due to phsycological side, saying where is nofap benefit, or excusing it as flatline while it doesn't, it is just an emotional instability.

    But now i get it everyday. Being calm and stay away from PMO is the key. Just enjoy the progress, never stress about it.

  4. Truth man. Nofap isn’t magic. It’s a part of the much bigger picture.

    Yeah the truth about NoFap is not only resisting the urge to porn or masturbation but channeling those energy to do something that far better like exercising and taking care of your self, making a new habit that is good switching the dopamine that released from porn to better activity such meditation or exercise. :emoji_punch::emoji_punch:

    For me nofap is absolutely magical. I haven't changed my other habits at all (i dont work out, i never leave the house and I eat unhealhtily (i am getting the energy and motivation to actually do them now though so I will)) but the effects of nofap is profound for me. I feel more in touch with my body, I feel grounded, I am more confident, I speak and think more clearly and my general bad mood is gone. I am happy for the first time in my life and I know for a fact that it dissapear when I masturbate. I've fallen back many times and I know the difference. Nofap is magical and it is doing things for me and for many others.

    That’s awesome if you’re starting from a very low point or point of depression but if you’re an able bodied individual there is no excuse to be lazy. You have one body why put shit in it, why not train it. You have to treat your body like a vehicle and maintain it, put the correct gas in it, clean it, and keep it repaired. Sooner or later you’re going to want more for yourself. You won’t see the true benefits of retention until you go out and go for yours. I’m glad you’re getting the energy and motivation to do those things. That’s the sexual energy you feel and of you don’t use it for good then it stays in your root area and it turns into urges and it turns into wanting a release.
     
  10. That's why I laugh when people compare playing video games, watching tv shows/movies, and music to porn/masturbating. The shame and GUILT associated is so much different. Plus imo the dopamine isn't even close between say eating junk food and PMOing. The damage PMO does compared to all of those isn't even close. Not PMOing by ITSELF is magic and does work a lot of other things out.

    No pmo is good in my opinion. I have experienced PIED, its real. What i really wish is to quit for good. Tired of falling back into bad habits.

    If you are doing Nofap to woo women, then you are taking the medicine for the wrong diagnosis. Nofap helps you take control of your mind once again. Once you have regained control over yourself then you can direct it to whatever you want however be it excelling at work, study or charming women.

    This is a good point, I think one of the reasons why i relapse is that i have not been doing NoFap primarily for myself. Because i got impacted by PIED i wanted to do it so i could have a normal healthy sexual relationship with my GF. I achieved this but after we broke up this motivator was no longer there and i easily reverted to my old habits.

    I think you have to really be selfish in some regards on this journey, you really have to be doing it for you. It has to be about making yourself better. The need to be better has to come from the inside, external motivators may be helpful in the short term but when these motivators go away you still need to be personally invested and have your own internal motivation.

    The other benefits will come, but you need to get good for you.
