People Quitting NoFap???

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by We CAN Do This!, Jul 8, 2017.

    Lately on this website I've noticed a lot of people saying 'oh I'm just gonna quit porn, not masturbation' but I can't see the logic.

    I understand that many people find it easy to quit masturbation, but struggle with quitting porn, but all I think is that surely even with masturbation you will still get similar negative effects that you get from porn?

    I know many people believe masturbation has benefits, but surely it will still share similar drawbacks as watching porn?

    I personally find quitting porn easy, whereas I really struggle not to masturbate.

    I thought NoFap was partly about controlling sexual energy, so a lot of people have said, but surely the sexual energy lies within masturbation and not pornography, so by continuing to masturbate you are still out of control with your sexual energy?

    I'm not saying you should not quit NoFap, you do what feels right for you :) I'm merely curious as to whether masturbation shares the same negatives as porn, and if so, why people continue to masturbate without porn?

    Masturbation is still a very selfish act. No one benefits besides yourself. And saying that you benefit is a reach since it's really just short term pleasure.

    Depends on your beliefs are and all that jazz personally I got nothing against mo you wanna do it that's fine like you do it in moderation is fine like no porn at all but say like if you wanked like once every 2 weeks it's not gonna effect you but that's more of a thing you need to decide when your fully rebooted

    Like personally I won't go back beacuse not fapping makes you that little bit more hungry that little extra fire and lust it's a good driver :)

    look at it this way.

    masturbation is like binge eating a bunch of junk food. its not gnna kill ya if u limit it to once a week or whatever. but your better off in all aspects if you dont do it and will experience benefits.

    porn on the other hand is like doing a gram of crack or a shot of heroine. it hyperstimulates ur reward system and will most definately fuck you up in the long run. porn is what holds most of the addictive nature rebooters are here for. and therefore must be the first priority.

    now heres the silver lining:

    most addicts to porn should also try and abstain from mo solely because of how the two are closely bridged together.
    when u masturbate u watch porn and when u watch porn u masturbate. therefore if u want to recover the most optimally and the fastest way.

    full no pmo.

    These are all exactly what I thought. Since both masturbation and porn are linked to closely, and in excess can both be harmful, then I'm not sure why people would just quit porn and still masturbate frequently.

    Still, if people feel that it's right for them, then fair enough, but I'm just going to abstain from both :)

    Masturbation is needed to be able to function decent if you dont have a partner. I have seen a guy on this forhm earlier, that really had great effects from not fapping, but je went like 4 years without it, he had no partner as well. Since he didnt release, he started seeking girls but at the same time, he couldnt focus on anything much because he had sexual thoghta all over snd started seeing girls sexually. Anytjing in excess is bad and even nofap pmo mode can be if its done for too long without a release. Its a natural thing. You would notice on most posts of nofap, that they dont watch porn and stuff anymore, but find themselves attracted more to girls after their reboot and seek them. Habing a partner snd not masturbating would be good, but after reboot masturbatint once in a while good be better cause after certain point, you start being filled with a lot of sexual energy that would hinder anything yoy try to do and be on your mind all the time and if you dont have a partner, you would have to masturbate to be able to focus on your life. I have seen many doctor say once a week is the optimal, but anyhijg more than 2 in a week is considered excess masturbation, atleast too many doctors in my country say that. Im not sure though, hut seems true.

    But ofcourse before your reboot, you need to atleast go through no pmo journey before you get back to fapping once in a while i fedl

    No masturbation is only good when you atleast habe a partner. If you dont and go for long without it, you could end up in a terrible case. I have seen many posts like that from people that gave up fapping completely while single, they ended up sexualizing every girl they saw and stuff, becauze when you dont fap, u start getting attracted to girls and when its been long like some years, you are gonna be a mess

  14. Some people say MO is a required event for men who have no partner. But in reality, it's the ultimate test of willpower. If you ever think that MO is something you have to do, you're serving it. Do not bow to it. Stand up and face your carnal desires like a man, and put them in their place. It will be difficult, strenuous, and probably one of the hardest test of your will in your life, but the benefits are so great, it is worth every struggle.
