    Those who dont know, nofap is when you dont masturbate or watch porn. Apparently long term benefit is the rewiring of your brain for more motivation. Short term hormonal benefits such as increased testosterone etc.

    Have u done it?

    What would I do in my spare time then?

    Was it not proven awhile back and supposedly well known inbody building circles that every 5 days you empty the tank.
    It’s where you hit optimum test levels.

    All these fashions are just to sell advertising space on Instagram pages.

    I take it when I can get it myself. I used to be into bodybuilding though but I still wouldn’t turn down the ride to rewire my brain or whatever you claim.

    What’s wrong with ye?

    No fap has no rules on riding only on masturbation and porn.

    ?? When you need to empty the tank, empty it.
    Then you won’t be too bothered with porn.

    Jesus what are you going to do instead? Watch coronation street?

    Are you saying people are watching porn and fapping all day and can’t even get out of bed to feed the cat?

    The poor mickeys on them.

    I can understand it may help with porn addictions but would watching the odd porn vid really be much different to using the **** bank when having an oul tug?

    I don't believe the "more testosterone" claim.. OR "more oestrogen" either, come to that.
    Yeah, tried this in the past. Didn't pay off. Reduced libido and increased depression.
    F3ck that for an act.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭Ariadne


    I can't see why I would ever do that to myself.

    How does the body know the difference to get the supposed benefits purported in the OP?

    There has been studies, test peaks at roughly one week of not masturbating then it normalizes again.

    You have to use your brain on the chase as well as form social bonds with a person using body language and hormones

    Your body in fact doesnt know the difference but it fvcks you up cause you form a connection with your laptop and **** sock instead

    Key word is apparently... Pretty sure there is no scientific basis that proves this.

    So, no difference physiologically. To get the purported benefits you'd have become celibate. Great plan for over population.

    Think it's the physiological aspect that they're getting at with porn. Prob more for addicts. Tbh, the mind 100% knows the difference and the feeling / confidence you get from succeeding with your ol mating ritual vs. a quick trip onto a crusty URL is prob deeper than we know.
    Say it affects the body cause there's no emotions / passion etc. With the latter.
