Where's the research about rebooting?

Exactly, there isn't any. It's baseless. Almost a year later lol.

 

All I know is that I'm nearly at 90 days and I feel so much better. I'm an old man now getting morning wood for the first time in years. It's only happened less than a handful of times but it's improvement. I am rebooting for 90 days then I'll reassess if I need more. I

 

I don't doubt a reduced frequency is beneficial. In my mind porn is a multiplier of an essentially beneficial activity (almost every damn mammal on the planet does it, doubt such an energetically "wasteful" activity actually serves not only no purpose, but a detrimental effect).

Nullifying porn absolutely or partially seems wise for most.

 

This is a personal anecdote of mine. But when I PMO a lot. I tend to over sexualize a social situation and get social anxiety. Especially, if I see someone of the opposite sex. Porn is one of those silent killers. You might not think it’s bad, but until you go out into reality and realize it’s devastating side effects, you start to realize something is wrong.

When I do NoFap, I don’t over sexualize women and social situations. Yes, I will find them attractive but I don’t over sexualize women and social situations and turn it into a porn fantasy.

The more days you do NoFap, the better the results. You will have urges, it’s all part of the PMO addiction recovery. Get some good habits and just let them pass.

Here is a detailed NoFap Success Guide for more help:

I notice a psychological difference when I’m on NoFap vs when I’m PMO’ing. I have less fatigue than usual when I’m on NoFap.

 

It's been almost a year, the discussion is effectively over, anecdotes are all that is available for such thing.

I think you are undervaluing anecdotes though, studies rely on funding, no one is funding a study to prove or disprove nofap. The money given to NoFap LLC goes straight into some people's pockets, this site is the epitome of a money grab. Unfortunately, anecdotes are also commonly formed based on a misunderstanding of a situation, a lack of consciousness of variables.

 

There is research that is currently going on with this addiction that hasn't been published yet. Yes, there is some lacking information, I totally agree.

How do I know? I'm one of the people doing the research. I am planning to launch a test pilot assessment on this site, and rebootnation.org in a few months. What I find is what I will build on. I can't give too many details because it could skew the results, but I will say I am hoping to answer some of those questions in the OP.
