I would like to survey the Nofap benefit. I’ve read many people who said that they have an explosion in attractiveness and confidence: one even suggested two ladies hit on them in a grocery store in a day. I’m somewhat skeptical, and I worried people would quit Nofap because of the disappointment of not getting those effects.

For me, I got some motivation boost, slight confidence boost, women are more good looking, No attractiveness boost.

How much does nofap boost your health, psychology, motivation, confidence, attractiveness. (For statistical purposes, only vote if you have or had succeeded in a 90 days streak. For E, please describe evidence, like an event, not general feeling).

No Boost.

Last time I was here I was definitely giving off alpha vibes after doing NoFap 90 days plus. Strong looking men were getting out of my way in stores. Deferring to me in checkout lines. I even saw one guy pull his girlfriend closer as I walked past them.
 
@Vergil_S Is it nofap magic or what you do instead of fap'n that causes the magic ?

There have been times when i have been on a streak and insane attraction, picking up someone with utter ease. I used to believe on day 7 the magic happened where i was attracting people to me - i put this to the test many times.

Firstly I must say that when I first started my goal was to just keeping trying with woman until the "one" came a long. In reality it did not take me long to realise the problem had moved from porn to reality. I was still over stimulated, constantly chatting to the wrong woman. Nothing had changed. Zero ability to control my moods. I am so grateful i never crossed over any lines or caused anyone to cheat. It was like my last dance at getting numbers and the rush of the number game in public. Maybe it took me some time realise what changing actually meant.. took me some time to realise i can change.

What actually occurred thou ? Well i was not wasting time fap'n, not stimulating myself like mad... if i sat alone in my room would i have more confidence or is it also the fact that i was getting other things done that makes me feel useful. The way i see it now is that its a combo, as you add new habits in you always get more confidence, what you do with that confidence is interesting thou.

Lets just look at today as an example. I woke up 5am.. in the past i would most likely pmo to try get some more zzz. BUT i got up, did some chores, made my bed, replied to work emails, messages here, replied to some messages from friends and soon will move to exercising. I only need to on the road today at 7am.. the feeling of not rushing is so calming, so magical, wish everyone could feel what i feel right now - wait a sec why is this just not a normal feeling ? cos i can not tell you how often i was running late or rushing cos of pmo - ffs i was never late but i always had to react to my 2nd alarm far too often. Over a decade ago when i was hooked on cams wow far too many times i was on till the last minute i had to leave for work... last minute ffs lol.

Without all that stress i feel magical. I feel magical that i dont see woman as object. I feel magical that i walk away when i see something erotic in public. I feel magical when take the far lane in the pool at the gym when a woman is swimming in near lane. I feel magic power when i choose to sit no where near a woman in a short skirt. I feel insane magic if i move when i a woman in revealing clothes sits near me.

Now some things might be normal, some things might be extreme but they are not.

Now to your question again for me confidence grows massively when i try be better in life, when i am not constantly needy, when i am ok alone - this is confidence from within, a kinda magic that i know i can not use to get laid - if you do the cycle repeats ( chasing dates, chasing new, chasing highs ) .. i would rather use that energy to be calm in work, approach my chores with love and try be healthy.

I could go on about how acting today how future you wants to be gives you loads of confidence.

Confidence is something you need to accept and you tell i draw confidence from what i CHOOSE and not what i do like a robot. There is no confidence in approaching a half naked woman at a club - real confidence is knowing you dont want to be in a club. Then again you see these were all addictions i had and have beat so maybe my confidence comes from that.

Any ways time to exercise before i hit the road for the day. I am looking forward to others chat on this topic its an interesting one.

may I ask your height and build? Also how lasting is it.

I experience this when i break a PR in gym or had a great date. But only once two week or so. I would say my present command some respect, but i wouldnt say explosive attractiveness.
 
For me it's a more minor boost. I know there is a notable difference, but just nofap by itself isn't earth shattering. I've discovered way more impactful things, but it can become powerful paired with a bunch of other healthy habits.
 
this differs with individuals and their own set of lifestyles...but for me personally, I'll consider it a major boost since I've seen significant mood changes and that means a lot to me since often times I'm always pretty tense or annoyed somehow. it's definitely played a huge part on my sleeping schedule. I think that's just because of my current circumstances that's why it's been working so well and I've been resting instead of spending more time exhausting my body. I think it also helps you really sit and define the differences between what you really want rather than focusing on a passing need. it's help me a lot with keeping myself out of my bed all day or slacking off from responsibility or work. infact I've been seeing improvements in those key areas.

I’m 6’2” and at that time I was hitting the gym daily before work. I’m just getting back to that now.
And I’m 61, not some 30 y.o. gym rat. I was in good shape, but I wasn’t walking around looking like a guy looking for a fight.
My confidence level was high and I was looking everybody in the eye. More than anything, I think that’s the key.

True.

The life sucking, future pausing nature of pmo impacts all the other habits to the point where they all drop off 1% or in many cases one might stop getting rewards from other habits / hobbies and only have pmo as the big fake happiness creator. Its like why would you bother cooking food if magically you had free unlimited Uber eats.

That's great. Taking away the negative is very rewarding even though it is not technically a boost.

This is true. NoFap combined with regular gym workouts, improved diet, and the removal of other life sucking habits is a great key to success.
It’s kind of like NoFap unlocks the other habits.

Yeah you know I was gonna say a mid potent boost but I also haven’t done anything yet. I don’t know about that grocery store story I think they might’ve been making that up for clout.

It’s really just one component. But I think it’s the one that unlocks the others.
- Gym Time
- Healthy Eating
- Self Confidence
- Focus
- Energy
 
I work a recovery lifestyle, so it's a little different from NoFap 90 day challenge (although I did this too).

It can be a huge boost, but for a true addict like myself, that can also be temporary. Without a recovery program to backup my streaks, I continually fell back into relapses.

Id also suggestion caution around this "explosive attractiveness" stuff.
Working PMO recovery only to be more attractice to women, is like an alcoholic who stops going to bars so he can sip wine at home.
 
@Vergil_S :-) Seems everyone is on the same page.. its not that you gain anything - its that you are no longer blocked from what you try do.

The effort, desire, acceptance of who you are, what you are, what you have and how you love yourself .. well that you have to create and its magical.. truly magical when you see the real you.
 
@cleaningupmyact 100% well said about 'attractiveness to pick up woman' that was the mistake i made 2 years. The player addict in me thought oooh you found another shortcut ... no diff to a decade ago when dating apps just released the ability to pay for attention.

Luckily i was journaling and i caught this right away. The player was just the side effect of dating app addiction, fighting to find someone and i knew thats not what i wanted.
