    A few questions, really. Just wanting to get you guys' opinions.

    How common do you think PMO'ers (not us) are, and where (e.g. in the US? in europe?)?

    Do you think that almost every guy in a developed country under the age of, say, 35 does it now? Or would you say it's more like 50/50? Or what?

    Now, IF you do think that PMO is very common, then how many people do you think are now on NoFap as a result of seeing its effects? Do you think any reasonably responsible/productive person is probably on NoFap?

    I personally don't really know, because I rarely talk to my friends about this. But I think that most American guys below 30 probably do PMO. However, I know an Israeli guy who also does, and a couple of Europeans, but I know a Polish guy who doesn't. This may not really be representative of anything, though, because people who are part of the PMO culture, who really accept it, are very vocal about it I think, but people who don't PMO probably never talk about it.

    I dunno, what do you think?

    If I had to guess, a majority of young people in developed countries and a substantial minority elsewhere are porn users. I don't think every responsible person is on nofap because most people have some sort of balance in their lives. They aren't binging all the time. They make time for more important things. It's like asking an AA meeting if every responsible person abstains from alcohol.

    That's a good point. So do you think that us Fapstronauts are just people who let it get out of control, and realized it too late?

    Just putting my opinion out there. There are definitely a lot more PMO'ers in the developed countries eg. US, UK, Japan, Singapore, France etc. compared to third world countries. Most people in the third world first of all can't afford a computer, second even they do, the internet just isn't fast enough to be PMOing everyday.
    My guess is like 80% haha
    Nofap people is probably like 7% of the total PMOing population. As mentioned above, a lot of people aren't addicted to PMO, they do it occasionally like once a week or once every two weeks. So, No I don't think reasonably responsible people are here.
    Agreed.
     
  5. I think in the western world most adolescent male and adult has either beein introduced to porn or accidently found it or sought it at some point in their lives. Masturbating however I would think comes from maybe self discovery and depending on the mental attitude at the time, over their life time will either have a balanced life with it or an addiction.
     
  6. I think nearly everyone masturbates but the porn aspect with fluctuate depending on region.
