This isn't true for most people who aren't suffering a severe addiction. It's these writeups that cause a lot of people to quit.

[–]ChipMonk998 Days 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (6子コメント)

Most of us here are suffering severe addiction. That's why we're here, right?

[–]stringerbbell 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Like crippling addiction? No, most of us are here because we want to repurpose the time we'd spend watching porn with something more productive. Or they're trying to regain sensitivity and intimacy.

[–]MasRock310 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I think most of us here didn't even realize we had an addiction till we found this sub and tried to quit hundreds of times but failed miserable. So even though not crippling I'm pretty sure most our addiction are debilitating and more severe than we think

[–]edytimbaland46 Days 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It had been around for almost 8 years, at varying degrees of intensity (from once every couple of days to 6 times a day) and it took me several weeks of attempts to quit to realise how addicted I was, before that, I thought it was normal! It is much more natural for us to build up our sexual energy over long periods of time. Not only does it improve your life in a fuck ton of ways (pun intended) and your effect on others in your life, but when you do get lucky it'll feel better. I reckon I was one or two years away from PIED. Maybe less

Exactly what I was thinking.

[–]Churraso430 Days 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Can you explain further?

I do not have a severe addiction, but if they quit because they face the truth it not because of someone else's fault, that's what weak people who are too scared to face reality do, they play victim and find someone to blame.

That said, their situation is not something I envy, and it's really sad, but if what they want is pity, that's not going to help.

[–]oziz_PA 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean I didn't like this post, it fell into classic Bro-Science, but I don't see how causes "a lot of people to quit". What, people are just going to drop everything cause they read a poor/inaccurate writeup like this?

I get the impression you mean is that people who just drop in this sub after hearing about the "cult" saw this and decided to discredit absolutely everything about the movement. I doubt these folks every really planned on taking it seriously in the first place though, as daily PMO is accepted and encouraged in society. Don't plan on losing sleep over that.

Regardless, I prefer the forums for this reason.

Holy shit. I cannot believe this is as upvoted as it is. Yes, some people have an issue with porn and/or masturbation addiction. For anyone else, hell no. All you are doing is making people feel bad for not being in Ivy league schools, spreading false shit about IQ(which isn't important), and so many other things it's actually hard to address. Just because you can't get into an ivy league school or even a good school has nothing to do with your jerking off habits unless they literally affect your day to day life in a negative way. Not everyone is meant for college, let alone Stanford.

Yes, if you are masturbating 5+ times a day and can only get off through porn and not through actual sex, please get help! Either work on it yourself or talk to a therapist about it. If jerking off actually inhibits you from being a better person like alcohol or other drugs do, then yes, get help.

Otherwise, no. Please, don't blame the fact that you aren't as smart as others, aren't in ivy league schools, aren't happy, aren't good with people, or any other number of things on just jerking off. IQ is a pointless scale, and what really matters in life is hard work. If you are having trouble with hard work, motivation, and happiness then please talk to a therapist.

This post is poisonous and hurtful. Don't take it to heart. Please, there are other ways to fix yourself and other things to focus on. Only focus on this if sexual addiction is a serious part of your life.

Maybe, instead of writing up a novel criticizing the post and the poster, you should read all the posts from guys who this totally resonated with. Case in point: this might not seem at all legit to you but it's all very real for far too many of us.

Did you read what I said? Because I totally understand how porn and masturbation can be a serious addiction and ruin lives. On top of that there are literally no studies that show that masturbation/porn addiction lower your IQ. All the original poster is doing is making people feel like shit or validating people who feel like shit and promising them that no PMO will cure everything.

I honestly can't help but laugh at this kind of thing. I know I'm an asshole and please, feel free to downvote. But how can masturbation get to be THAT much of an issue that your life goes down the drain because of it? Someone please explain

[–]252life2 Days 23 ポイント24 ポイント  (7子コメント)

I agree with you that this post is exaggerated ridiculously, but it is not about the act of masturbation, it is about the destructive lifestyle of having an addiction. Masturbation isn't an inherently destructive act, but being addicted to something such as porn will slowly destroy your life.

[–]limptrouble18 Days 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (5子コメント)

It's the side effects that screws your life. You lose a lot of energy, you become more grumpy, and most important, you get brain fog. You will find it difficult to study, to make friends, you will lack motivation, eventually will get into depression and the facts can continue. My whole adolescence got screwd up by this. My life was full of misery, depressions and loneliness. I was afraid to make friends, i was overly complexed, and sad. By masturbating frequently you lose a lot of energy that can be used in productive stuff. Since i quit, my gym results are unbelievable, i have o ton of energy. My mood got out from the clouds and I care less about what people think. I feel more alpha. Masturbation it's cheating, so every cheater get punished. I guess it's the way of nature that punish you for not having sex with a real women.

[–]JoeBagelz [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

No but if you experienced these things then it isn't because of masturbation. Its because you are depressed and you either need to take medication or talk to a professional. In your first comment you said "and the facts continue" what facts are these? I have not seen a single true case where just the act of masturbation destroys someone's life. Its always something more.

[–]GenghisKhanSpermShot65 Days 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There is science to it, if you occasionally masterbate like a lot of people you're good. If you overdo it it can really fuck up your dopamine receptors. When I stopped I actually started dreaming more, was happier and able to focus on little things I couldn't before, more energy, it really changed my life. It really can fuck up your life and I know it, but I was obsessive and addicted so not everyone is the same. But there is science behind how it changes your neurons and pathways. Most of us that have had this addiction and changed know how crazy our life changed for the better after we stopped. I was against this sub before I started so I get the skepticism but it really works.

[–]eireoh44 Days 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I masturbated 3 times a day for 3 years, and this post pretty much describes how negative and depressing my life was. If it didn't happen to you, it doesn't mean it's a lie. Some people have very minute drawbacks due to wasting all that energy, but some people, like me as a teenager, take the habit to extremes and it completely and utterly took the drive out of my life.

Maybe not cognitive abilities so much but motivation, at least if its excessive PMOing, and sheer determination to solve a hard problem is really a big part of the equation of life.

I can personally attest to all of them with the exception of the IQ claim. I think, though, that you took it too directly. That's by no means a fact.

Does anyone else find that after fapping, the next day something goes wrong God punishes via arguments, embarrassments or just taking something away from you? Or that it takes just one fap to destroy it all. Back to zero. Not fapping for about two weeks or so works wonders it's as though life willingly comes to you. I guess it's down to fapping being a unnatural sin thus God's punishment. In my religion fapping is a minor sin but constantly doing a minor sin becomes major due to not giving it up.

[–]VaginalFury42 Days 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

When I PMO'd everyday secretly hiding it from my girlfriend, she would notice it in some way all the time. We got into arguments about stupid things and her mood was very bitchy, without a reason.

Since I do NoFap , shes a lot more calm and happy and we enjoy our relationship again. I believe PMOing makes everything around you worse than it actually would be.

After a longer PMO session I also had a lot of really dumb things happening to me that felt like a 'punishment from god' as you said. Also made tons of stupid decisions where I could have slapped my own face for. Its incredible how PMO makes ones life worse in so many ways..

But I am sure that I can beat my PMO and start becoming more interesting again. A few short streaks here and there has already helped me and I've started noticing considerable changes already. I believe that NoFap is a major component in personal development, to some people at least.

If you continue fapping, you will watch as your friends, who, though not talented as you, but more disciplined, are now going to Stanford while you watch soap operas with your family.You will see them get girlfriends, meet new people, go out to have fun, all the while your social circle dwindles and the people you thought were your friends become strangers.

In my case, my old nerd PMO-lovers friends are succeeding in life, getting more and more popular in our college. One of them already got a job while the other is one of the most popular guys in our course (computer science). He already travelled to US and applied to a 1 year interchange program. We're all still virgin (i think) and never had any gf. Meanwhile, i am the NoFap guy and i'm still stuck in life, getting fat, lazy, 95% anti-social, don't know anyone there anymore and have tons of failed classes.

I'm the living proof that NoFap won't make shit for you if you don't take your ass off your stove and get things done. Death would be a blessing for me these days.

I get that excessive masturbation and porn consumption is bad, but honestly, it's nearly as black and white like you portrayed. You can still fap and be successful, happy and confident lol. Don't treat nofap as the end all be all cure of every problem in your life. Everyone is different and we each have different sex drives, needs and lifestyles. I honestly don't think abstaining from masturbation is a viable solution for everyone out there; balance is key.

I'm a 20 year old male who has had problems restraining from fapping since 2007. Can confirm that I have 2 friends at Stanford while I am still watching The Price Is Right with my grandma, still having a cough from winter break and am questioning if I have dropped IQ points.

You are sick, and you are spreading false information and making people feel worse about themselves. -20 IQ points? Lashing out at parents and strangers? Not smiling at people? Wtf are you smoking. None of this is related.

An addiction to jerking off is harmful, but you are making up complete bullshit.

He's right tho guys. I think he means fapping non stop to porn, and not just a weekly wank or something.

Pmo destroys your brain chemistry, you won't have that radiating smile that makes people like you instantly. You'll be a weird creepy loser. You can't have any drive or ambition being a pmo addict, you won't be motivated to get a girl friend, and one of the most commonly noted side effects of nofap is you're not depressed anymore in a matter of weeks.

Pmo is districtive. Period. Anyone who says other wise probably hasn't been on a long streak and can't tell what life pmo free feels like.

I'm coming up on 4 months now no M, and few days were I watched P, and O only from sex. Trust me, even thinking about P is wreaking havoc on your brain. There's a noticeable difference on weeks where it doesn't cross my mind to days where I let my self think about it here and there.

Remove yourself as far away as you can from PMO, its absolutely terrible for you. Get a girlfriend, and then focus 100% on what you want to achieve in life. It's really as simple as that.

No matte what you do, life is gonna go on. You can either spend the next year jerking off to porn and living suboptimaly. Or you can stop PMO, and move on from there.

I'm here to show people that masturbating is not bad. It's healthy to masturbate, but masturbating should be done in moderation.

What could I possibly get out of jerking off right now? Seems like a waste of time and energy.

[–]positronik 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just like listening to music, playing video games, or any number of stuff like getting better at a rubix cube. Jerking off doesn't gain you anything, but neither does taking a nap or watching netflix. The issue is when you start making habit out of it to the point that it's an addiction and hurts your life.

We don't masturbate often... But when we do, we do it inside a woman.

Man, this hits deep.

You know, I remember a time (when I was about 15-16), where I actually didn't give a -fuck-. And you know something? I wasn't fapping. For some reason, when I turned 19-20, I started doing it like a religion. 21 now, looking into breaking this habit for good. Thanks for the post, very reassuring

I have something to say for that last paragraph:
