    What if you inadvertently shag your pillow while asleep? Does that count as a fap?

    I was away for a few days staying in someone's house so had to "abstain" which made me want to give this a go. Got to day 4 or 5 and got an erection that I just had to do something with!

    Is sex off the cards? Or just ****?

    The latter, unless you want to become a priest.

    just look it up on reddit would be the safest way. I don't want to give wrong info
    but you know in general what a chaser is ya?

    like you have a bottle of beer and a whiskey chaser

    No way am I going to deny myself one of the great simple pleasures of life! No idea where people are getting this feeling guilty after thing...if you feel bad after a **** you're doing it wrong...

    if you read up on it , nofappers are not doing it because **** is bad (which is isn't) it's about porn addiction

    youtube: Your brain on porn

    I suppose if you are looking up porn every time you **** you might feel cheap afterwards. Simple solution, use your imagination.

    (not you, generally speaking)

    i wish it was as simple as that
    but some of us (actually a lot of us) have rewired our brains and conditioned ourselves to fast click dopamine hits - like dopamine junkies

    anyway it's all in the reddit. masterbating is obviously fine - but internet fuelled dopamine binges aren't.

    if anything it's an interesting read so check it out.

    I'm just in the mindset that there is such thing as balance. Simply cut back a bit if you're overdoing it. The whole nofap movement reminded me of a Catholic style abstinence campaign to be honest.

    Cutting back long term is fine, but short term it's best to completely cut it out. It's a serious problem, so many men lose hours a day chasing a high that they can't get. It's typical junkie behavour.

    The longest it takes me is 10 minutes each time. Often I get one off quicker but I would never masturbate for hours every day

    well I have seen amazing benefits so far, so I am gonna keep at it
    if its not for you then fair enough - I reckon to question it's validity or if it's fatal or not as one poster seems to think, maybe start a different thread on those subjects

    That's more a psychological lacking than an 'addiction', to be honest. I won't argue the toss anyway. I've no problem with taking breaks or whatever, but this thing about going 9 months...seems pointless.

    Edit: just referring in general. Some people go this long.

    If you're masturbating so much that it's affecting your life and relationships, the problem isn't masturbation - it's you.
