Nofap doesn't give you Superpowers !!

I agree. There's no such thing as super powers, we awaken some of our capacities that were lying dorment inside of us because of constant PMO.

 

I agree, the whole "superpower" thing seems like a whole lotta nonsense to me and while I am not trying to discredit or take away from people who have had overwhelming success, I also think that the exaggerations are part of why outsiders think we are a crazy cult full of weirdos and zealots. What quitting porn/excessive masturbation accomplishes is simply giving back to us something we had before we got addicted, and in some cases realises potential that was always there but obfuscated by PMO. NoFap might improve your life directly in smaller ways, but the big successes I read about are almost always the result of the person taking action, and not really the physical act of not watching porn or masturbating. A lot of the time its simply using the time you would spend on PMO on something else that accomplishes this result, a lot of the time its simply because the early success creates a confidence boost that motivates. This isn't to say that if you gave up PMO and didn't change anything else your life wouldn't be better, it likely would, but I feel like a lot of people think NoFap is DIRECTLY responsible when really its more about the mindset it creates than the actual physical process, although of course that helps too.

 

It's no surprise that a lot of people who have conditioned themselves to escape uncertain and difficult situations in reality via PMO believe in magical solutions like nofap superpowers. Of course, they also have "scientific proof" to back it all up. Sooner or later reality can't be ignored anymore and those that continue to look for quick fixes won't have the fortitude to deal with it.

 

It’s true what you all are saying.

Superpowers are a bunch of silliness.

Our brains are clearing up. We see our faults. Instead of hiding we go out and do something positive to get better at what we’re struggled with.

Before we were running and hiding from everything and everybody, at least I was.

 

Nobody is getting superpowers. But being a low life for such a long time( because of pmo and its psychological effects) and then being a normal functioning human, feels like superpowers to some. That's the whole deal.
Oh and the "superpowers" don't come after 30 days of nofap... But after around 100 or 200.

 

Indeed, scammers and shit talkers have invaded nofap a long time ago.

Luckily I am able to fly into space and hide behind the moon thanks to nofap.

 

Thats nothing, after the first week I realised I could teleport, after a month I started being able to time travel. Now four months in I have ascended to a higher plane and can bend reality to my whims.

 

Day 56 and I am having orgy with myself.. haha

 

You guys with benefits are lucky...

All that happened to me is my bench went up by 400 lbs, deadlift by 600 lbs and i developed jedi mind powers so my pickup skills are unbelievable

 

I suppose you could think of NF similar to a dietary supplemental pill (some of which are also questionable from a scamming perspective). Basically you can't do it alone with a pill, you need diet and exercise. I would imagine NF would be the same. It's not like women and employers directly seek out NFers but it's the side effects that bring us the future successes.

Maybe NF for me will give me more energy for example. This can yield more productivity at work or more time and motivation to socialize. I certainly don't expect my doorbell to ring and a pretty gal outside will be standing there saying "hey I heard you don't PMO wanna get a drink?"

As the saying goes; YMMV

So far on my journey I haven't given any money to anyone (yet) so I certainly don't feel scammed.

 

Agree.

And agree with those superpowers because if you´ve been addicted to PMO from the childhood for many, many years, you completely fucked up your mind etc. Just read some success stories and you see it. But yeah, those are liars, fakes, Nofap is simply bullshit and I'm a pink elephant. Cute huh?

Yup, same to me. And this is just the beginning of the new game for me.
Well, microphone drop too. End of story.

 

I don't buy into the superpower bullshit as well, it's more of a lifestyle improvement.

The thing is, Porn is a terrible way of trying to escape (with any problem really) because it in itself is another problem. It might give you a temporary feeling of pleasure, but it's nothing compared to what life can be without it.

Asking yourself for the reasons why you want to give up Porn, what you hate (and what you like) about it, is a great way to start. Also a great way to start, is finding the root causes for turning to Porn (the reasons for escaping) and slowly fixing them while trying NoFap.

Which is basically the long version of what you said.

This is a good way to put it, especially the microphone drop - no more responses for that one lol.
